The netns deletion path does not need to wait for all net_devices to be unregistered before dismantling rds_tcp state for the netns (we are able to dismantle this state on module unload even when all net_devices are active so there is no dependency here). This patch removes code related to netdevice notifiers and refactors all the code needed to dismantle rds_tcp state into a ->exit callback for the pernet_operations used with register_pernet_device().

This patch adds a receive method to NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT netlink sockets to allow sending uevent messages into the network namespace the socket belongs to. Currently non-initial network namespaces are already isolated and don't receive uevents. There are a number of cases where it is beneficial for a sufficiently privileged userspace process to send a uevent into a network namespace. One such use case would be debugging and fuzzing of a piece of software which listens and reacts to uevents. By running a copy of that software inside a network namespace, specific uevents could then be presented to it. More concretely, this would allow for easy testing of udevd/ueventd. This will also allow some piece of software to run components inside a separate network namespace and then effectively filter what that software can receive. Some examples of software that do directly listen to uevents and that we have in the past attempted to run inside a network namespace are rbd (CEPH client) or the X server. Implementation: The implementation has been kept as simple as possible from the kernel's perspective. Specifically, a simple input method uevent_net_rcv() is added to NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT sockets which completely reuses existing af_netlink infrastructure and does neither add an additional netlink family nor requires any user-visible changes. For example, by using netlink_rcv_skb() we can make use of existing netlink infrastructure to report back informative error messages to userspace. Furthermore, this implementation does not introduce any overhead for existing uevent generating codepaths. The struct netns got a new uevent socket member that records the uevent socket associated with that network namespace including its position in the uevent socket list. Since we record the uevent socket for each network namespace in struct net we don't have to walk the whole uevent socket list. Instead we can directly retrieve the relevant uevent socket and send the message. At exit time we can now also trivially remove the uevent socket from the uevent socket list. This keeps the codepath very performant without introducing needless overhead and even makes older codepaths faster. Uevent sequence numbers are kept global. When a uevent message is sent to another network namespace the implementation will simply increment the global uevent sequence number and append it to the received uevent. This has the advantage that the kernel will never need to parse the received uevent message to replace any existing uevent sequence numbers. Instead it is up to the userspace process to remove any existing uevent sequence numbers in case the uevent message to be sent contains any. Security: In order for a caller to send uevent messages to a target network namespace the caller must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the owning user namespace of the target network namespace. Additionally, any received uevent message is verified to not exceed size UEVENT_BUFFER_SIZE. This includes the space needed to append the uevent sequence number. Testing: This patch has been tested and verified to work with the following udev implementations: 1. CentOS 6 with udevd version 147 2. Debian Sid with systemd-udevd version 237 3. Android 7.1.1 with ueventd Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This commit adds struct uevent_sock to struct net. Since struct uevent_sock records the position of the uevent socket in the uevent socket list we can trivially remove it from the uevent socket list during cleanup. This speeds up the old removal codepath. Note, list_del() will hit __list_del_entry_valid() in its call chain which will validate that the element is a member of the list. If it isn't it will take care that the list is not modified. Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== pull-request: bpf-next 2018-03-21 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree. The main changes are: 1) Add a BPF hook for sendmsg and sendfile by reusing the ULP infrastructure and sockmap. Three helpers are added along with this, bpf_msg_apply_bytes(), bpf_msg_cork_bytes(), and bpf_msg_pull_data(). The first is used to tell for how many bytes the verdict should be applied to, the second to tell that x bytes need to be queued first to retrigger the BPF program for a verdict, and the third helper is mainly for the sendfile case to pull in data for making it private for reading and/or writing, from John. 2) Improve address to symbol resolution of user stack traces in BPF stackmap. Currently, the latter stores the address for each entry in the call trace, however to map these addresses to user space files, it is necessary to maintain the mapping from these virtual addresses to symbols in the binary which is not practical for system-wide profiling. Instead, this option for the stackmap rather stores the ELF build id and offset for the call trace entries, from Song. 3) Add support that allows BPF programs attached to perf events to read the address values recorded with the perf events. They are requested through PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR via perf_event_open(). Main motivation behind it is to support building memory or lock access profiling and tracing tools with the help of BPF, from Teng. 4) Several improvements to the tools/bpf/ Makefiles. The 'make bpf' in the tools directory does not provide the standard quiet output except for bpftool and it also does not respect specifying a build output directory. 'make bpf_install' command neither respects specified destination nor prefix, all from Jiri. In addition, Jakub fixes several other minor issues in the Makefiles on top of that, e.g. fixing dependency paths, phony targets and more. 5) Various doc updates e.g. add a comment for BPF fs about reserved names to make the dentry lookup from there a bit more obvious, and a comment to the bpf_devel_QA file in order to explain the diff between native and bpf target clang usage with regards to pointer size, from Quentin and Daniel. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The driver currently creates empty ACL groups, binds them to the requested port and then fills them with actual ACLs that point to TCAM regions. However, empty ACL groups are considered invalid and upcoming firmware versions are going to forbid their binding.

John Fastabend says: ==================== This series adds a BPF hook for sendmsg and senfile by using the ULP infrastructure and sockmap. A simple pseudocode example would be, // load the programs bpf_prog_load(SOCKMAP_TCP_MSG_PROG, BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_MSG, &obj, &msg_prog); // lookup the sockmap bpf_map_msg = bpf_object__find_map_by_name(obj, "my_sock_map"); // get fd for sockmap map_fd_msg = bpf_map__fd(bpf_map_msg); // attach program to sockmap bpf_prog_attach(msg_prog, map_fd_msg, BPF_SK_MSG_VERDICT, 0); // Add a socket 'fd' to sockmap at location 'i' bpf_map_update_elem(map_fd_msg, &i, fd, BPF_ANY); After the above snippet any socket attached to the map would run msg_prog on sendmsg and sendfile system calls. Three additional helpers are added bpf_msg_apply_bytes(), bpf_msg_cork_bytes(), and bpf_msg_pull_data(). With bpf_msg_apply_bytes BPF programs can tell the infrastructure how many bytes the given verdict should apply to. This has two cases. First, a BPF program applies verdict to fewer bytes than in the current sendmsg/sendfile msg this will apply the verdict to the first N bytes of the message then run the BPF program again with data pointers recalculated to the N+1 byte. The second case is the BPF program applies a verdict to more bytes than the current sendmsg or sendfile system call. In this case the infrastructure will cache the verdict and apply it to future sendmsg/sendfile calls until the byte limit is reached. This avoids the overhead of running BPF programs on large payloads. The helper bpf_msg_cork_bytes() handles a different case where a BPF program can not reach a verdict on a msg until it receives more bytes AND the program doesn't want to forward the packet until it is known to be "good". The example case being a user (albeit a dumb one probably) sends a N byte header in 1B system calls. The BPF program can call bpf_msg_cork_bytes with the required byte limit to reach a verdict and then the program will only be called again once N bytes are received. The last helper added in this series is bpf_msg_pull_data(). It is used to pull data in for modification or reading. Similar to how sk_pull_data() works msg_pull_data can be used to access data not in the initial (data_start, data_end) range. For sendpage() calls this is needed if any data is accessed because the BPF sendpage hook initializes the data_start and data_end pointers to zero. We do this because sendpage data is shared with the user and can be modified during or after the BPF verdict possibly invalidating any verdict the BPF program decides. For sendmsg the data is already copied by the sendmsg bpf infrastructure so we only copy the data if the user request a data range that is not already linearized. This happens if the user requests larger blocks of data that are not in a single scatterlist element. The common case seems to be accessing headers which normally are in the first scatterlist element and already linearized. For more examples please review the sample program. There are examples for all the actions and helpers there. Patches 1-8 implement the above sockmap/BPF infrastructure. The remaining patches flush out some minimal selftests and the sample sockmap program. The sockmap sample program is the main vehicle for testing this infrastructure and will be moved into selftests shortly. The final patch in this series is a simple shell script to run a set of tests. These are the tests I run after any changes to sockmap. The next task on the list after this series is to push those into selftests so we can avoid manually testing. Couple notes on future items in the pipeline, 0. move sample sockmap programs into selftests (noted above) 1. add additional support for tcp flags, most are ignored now. 2. add a Documentation/bpf/sockmap file with these details 3. support stacked ULP types to allow this and ktls to cooperate 4. Ingress flag support, redirect only supports egress here. The other redirect helpers support ingress and egress flags. 5. add optimizations, I cut a few optimizations here in the first iteration of the code for later study/implementation -v3 updates : u32 data pointers in msg_md changed to void * : page_address NULL check and flag verification in msg_pull_data : remove old note in commit msg that is no longer relevant : remove enum sk_msg_action its not used anywhere : fixup test_verifier W -> DW insn to account for data pointers : unintentionally dropped a smap_stop_tx() call in sockmap.c I propagated the ACKs forward because above changes were small one/two line changes. -v2 updates (discussion): Dave noticed that sendpage call was previously (in v1) running on the data directly. This allowed users to potentially modify the data after or during the BPF program. However doing a copy automatically even if the data is not accessed has measurable performance impact. So we added another helper modeled after the existing skb_pull_data() helper to allow users to selectively pull data from the msg. This is also useful in the sendmsg case when users need to access data outside the first scatterlist element or across scatterlist boundaries. While doing this I also unified the sendmsg and sendfile handlers a bit. Originally the sendfile call was optimized for never touching the data. I've decided for a first submission to drop this optimization and we can add it back later. It introduced unnecessary complexity, at least for a first posting, for a use case I have not entirely flushed out yet. When the use case is deployed we can add it back if needed. Then we can review concrete performance deltas as well on real-world use-cases/applications. Lastly, I reorganized the patches a bit. Now all sockmap changes are in a single patch and each helper gets its own patch. This, at least IMO, makes it easier to review because sockmap changes are not spread across the patch series. On the other hand now apply_bytes, cork_bytes logic is only activated later in the series. But that should be OK. ==================== Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>

The options can be used with txmsg_apply, txmsg_cork options as well as with any of the basic tests, txmsg, txmsg_redir and txmsg_drop (plus noisy variants) to run pull_data inline with those tests.

This adds an option to test the apply_bytes helper. This option lets the user specify an int on the command line specifying how much data each verdict should apply to. When this is set a map entry is set with the bytes input by the user and then the specified program --txmsg or --txmsg_redir will use the value and set the applied data. If no other option is set then a default --txmsg_apply program is run. This program will drop pkts if an error is detected on the bytes map lookup. Useful to verify the map lookup and apply helper are working and causing a hard error if it is not. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.fastabend@gmail.com> Acked-by: David S.

Currently, if a bpf sk msg program is run the program can only parse data that the (start,end) pointers already consumed. For sendmsg hooks this is likely the first scatterlist element. For sendpage this will be the range (0,0) because the data is shared with userspace and by default we want to avoid allowing userspace to modify data while (or after) BPF verdict is being decided. To support pulling in additional bytes for parsing use a new helper bpf_sk_msg_pull(start, end, flags) which works similar to cls tc logic. This helper will attempt to point the data start pointer at 'start' bytes offest into msg and data end pointer at 'end' bytes offset into message. After basic sanity checks to ensure 'start' <= 'end' and 'end' <= msg_length there are a few cases we need to handle. First the sendmsg hook has already copied the data from userspace and has exclusive access to it. Therefor, it is not necessesary to copy the data. However, it may be required. After finding the scatterlist element with 'start' offset byte in it there are two cases. One the range (start,end) is entirely contained in the sg element and is already linear. All that is needed is to update the data pointers, no allocate/copy is needed. The other case is (start, end) crosses sg element boundaries. In this case we allocate a block of size 'end - start' and copy the data to linearize it. Next sendpage hook has not copied any data in initial state so that data pointers are (0,0). In this case we handle it similar to the above sendmsg case except the allocation/copy must always happen. Then when sending the data we have possibly three memory regions that need to be sent, (0, start - 1), (start, end), and (end + 1, msg_length). This is required to ensure any writes by the BPF program are correctly transmitted. Lastly this operation will invalidate any previous data checks so BPF programs will have to revalidate pointers after making this BPF call.

In the case where we need a specific number of bytes before a verdict can be assigned, even if the data spans multiple sendmsg or sendfile calls. The BPF program may use msg_cork_bytes(). The extreme case is a user can call sendmsg repeatedly with 1-byte msg segments. Obviously, this is bad for performance but is still valid. If the BPF program needs N bytes to validate a header it can use msg_cork_bytes to specify N bytes and the BPF program will not be called again until N bytes have been accumulated. The infrastructure will attempt to coalesce data if possible so in many cases (most my use cases at least) the data will be in a single scatterlist element with data pointers pointing to start/end of the element. However, this is dependent on available memory so is not guaranteed. So BPF programs must validate data pointer ranges, but this is the case anyways to convince the verifier the accesses are valid.

A single sendmsg or sendfile system call can contain multiple logical messages that a BPF program may want to read and apply a verdict. But, without an apply_bytes helper any verdict on the data applies to all bytes in the sendmsg/sendfile. Alternatively, a BPF program may only care to read the first N bytes of a msg. If the payload is large say MB or even GB setting up and calling the BPF program repeatedly for all bytes, even though the verdict is already known, creates unnecessary overhead. To allow BPF programs to control how many bytes a given verdict applies to we implement a bpf_msg_apply_bytes() helper. When called from within a BPF program this sets a counter, internal to the BPF infrastructure, that applies the last verdict to the next N bytes. If the N is smaller than the current data being processed from a sendmsg/sendfile call, the first N bytes will be sent and the BPF program will be re-run with start_data pointing to the N+1 byte. If N is larger than the current data being processed the BPF verdict will be applied to multiple sendmsg/sendfile calls until N bytes are consumed. Note1 if a socket closes with apply_bytes counter non-zero this is not a problem because data is not being buffered for N bytes and is sent as its received.
