Daniel Borkmann eb6d1abf1b rhashtable: better high order allocation attempts
When trying to allocate future tables via bucket_table_alloc(), it seems
overkill on large table shifts that we probe for kzalloc() unconditionally
first, as it's likely to fail.

Only probe with kzalloc() for more reasonable table sizes and use vzalloc()
either as a fallback on failure or directly in case of large table sizes.

Daniel Borkmann 342100d937 rhashtable: don't test for shrink on insert, expansion on delete
Restore pre 54c5b7d311 behaviour and only probe for expansions on inserts
and shrinks on deletes. Currently, it will happen that on initial inserts
into a sparse hash table, we may i.e. shrink it first simply because it's
not fully populated yet, only to later realize that we need to grow again.

This however is counter intuitive, e.g. an initial default size of 64
elements is already small enough, and in case an elements size hint is given
to the hash table by a user, we should avoid unnecessary expansion steps,
so a shrink is clearly unintended here.

Thomas Graf 020219a69d rhashtable: Fix remove logic to avoid cross references between buckets
The remove logic properly searched the remaining chain for a matching
entry with an identical hash but it did this while searching from both
the old and new table. Instead in order to not leave stale references
behind we need to:

 1. When growing and searching from the new table:
    Search remaining chain for entry with same hash to avoid having
    the new table directly point to a entry with a different hash.

 2. When shrinking and searching from the old table:
    Check if the element after the removed would create a cross
    reference and avoid it if so.

These bugs were present from the beginning in nft_hash.

Also, both insert functions calculated the hash based on the mask of
the new table. This worked while growing. Wwhile shrinking, the mask
of the inew table is smaller than the mask of the old table. This lead
to a bit not being taken into account when selecting the bucket lock
and thus caused the wrong bucket to be locked eventually.

Thomas Graf cf52d52f9c rhashtable: Avoid bucket cross reference after removal
During a resize, when two buckets in the larger table map to
a single bucket in the smaller table and the new table has already
been (partially) linked to the old table. Removal of an element
may result the bucket in the larger table to point to entries
which all hash to a different value than the bucket index. Thus
causing two buckets to point to the same sub chain after unzipping.
This is not illegal *during* the resize phase but after it has
completed.

Keep the old table around until all of the unzipping is done to
allow the removal code to only search for matching hashed entries
during this special period.

Thomas Graf a5ec68e3b8 rhashtable: Use a single bucket lock for sibling buckets
rhashtable currently allows to use a bucket lock per bucket. This
requires multiple levels of complicated nested locking because when
resizing, a single bucket of the smaller table will map to two
buckets in the larger table. So far rhashtable has explicitly locked
both buckets in the larger table.

By excluding the highest bit of the hash from the bucket lock map and
thus only allowing locks to buckets in a ratio of 1:2, the locking
can be simplified a lot without losing the benefits of multiple locks.
Larger tables which benefit from multiple locks will not have a single
lock per bucket anyway.

Ying Xue 57699a40b4 rhashtable: Fix race in rhashtable_destroy() and use regular work_struct
When we put our declared work task in the global workqueue with
schedule_delayed_work(), its delay parameter is always zero.
Therefore, we should define a regular work in rhashtable structure
instead of a delayed work.

By the way, we add a condition to check whether resizing functions
are NULL before cancelling the work, avoiding to cancel an
uninitialized work.

Lastly, while we wait for all work items we submitted before to run
to completion with cancel_delayed_work(), ht->mutex has been taken in
rhashtable_destroy(). Moreover, cancel_delayed_work() doesn't return
until all work items are accomplished, and when work items are
scheduled, the work's function - rht_deferred_worker() will be called.
However, as rht_deferred_worker() also needs to acquire the lock,
deadlock might happen at the moment as the lock is already held before.
So if the cancel work function is moved out of the lock covered scope,
this will avoid the deadlock.

When remove an object from hash table, we currently only traverse old
bucket table to check whether the object exists. If the object is not
found in it, we will try again. But in the second search loop, we still
search the object from the old table instead of future table. As a
result, the object may be not removed from hash table especially when
resizing is currently in progress and the object is just saved in the
future table.

Thomas Graf f89bd6f87a rhashtable: Supports for nulls marker
In order to allow for wider usage of rhashtable, use a special nulls
marker to terminate each chain. The reason for not using the existing
nulls_list is that the prev pointer usage would not be valid as entries

The 4 nulls base bits can be set through the rhashtable_params structure
like this:

struct rhashtable_params params = {
        [...]
        .nulls_base = (1U << RHT_BASE_SHIFT),
};

Thomas Graf 97defe1ecf rhashtable: Per bucket locks & deferred expansion/shrinking
Introduces an array of spinlocks to protect bucket mutations. The number
of spinlocks per CPU is configurable and selected based on the hash of
the bucket. This allows for parallel insertions and removals of entries
which do not share a lock.

The patch also defers expansion and shrinking to a worker queue which
allows insertion and removal from atomic context. Insertions and
deletions may occur in parallel to it and are only held up briefly
while the particular bucket is linked or unzipped.

Mutations of the bucket table pointer is protected by a new mutex, read
access is RCU protected.

In the event of an expansion or shrinking, the new bucket table allocated
is exposed as a so called future table as soon as the resize process
starts.  Lookups, deletions, and insertions will briefly use both tables.
The future table becomes the main table after an RCU grace period and
initial linking of the old to the new table was performed. Optimization
of the chains to make use of the new number of buckets follows only the
new table is in use.

The side effect of this is that during that RCU grace period, a bucket
traversal using any rht_for_each() variant on the main table will not see
any insertions performed during the RCU grace period which would at that
point land in the future table. The lookup will see them as it searches
both tables if needed.

Having multiple insertions and removals occur in parallel requires nelems
to become an atomic counter.

Thomas Graf 897362e446 nft_hash: Remove rhashtable_remove_pprev()
The removal function of nft_hash currently stores a reference to the
previous element during lookup which is used to optimize removal later
on. This was possible because a lock is held throughout calling
rhashtable_lookup() and rhashtable_remove().

With the introdution of deferred table resizing in parallel to lookups
and insertions, the nftables lock will no longer synchronize all
table mutations and the stored pprev may become invalid.

Removing this optimization makes removal slightly more expensive on
average but allows taking the resize cost out of the insert and
remove path.

Daniel Borkmann 87545899b5 net: replace remaining users of arch_fast_hash with jhash
This patch effectively reverts commit 500f808726 ("net: ovs: use CRC32
accelerated flow hash if available"), and other remaining arch_fast_hash()
users such as from nfsd via commit 6282cd5655 ("NFSD: Don't hand out
delegations for 30 seconds after recalling them.") where it has been used
as a hash function for bloom filtering.

While we think that these users are actually not much of concern, it has
been requested to remove the arch_fast_hash() library bits that arose
from [1] entirely as per recent discussion [2]. The main argument is that
using it as a hash may introduce bias due to its linearity (see avalanche
criterion) and thus makes it less clear (though we tried to document that)
when this security/performance trade-off is actually acceptable for a
general purpose library function.

Lets therefore avoid any further confusion on this matter and remove it to
prevent any future accidental misuse of it. For the time being, this is
going to make hashing of flow keys a bit more expensive in the ovs case,
but future work could reevaluate a different hashing discipline.

      skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell
      telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires.

      skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to
      call the driver immediately with another SKB to send.

      There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple
      packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in
      software is now done with no locks held.

      Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can
      be used to test a multi-send implementation.

      Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4,
      virtio_net

      Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to
      support this optimization soon.

   2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon.

   3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via

   4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx
      driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from
      Florian Fainelli.

   5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers
      to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA
      into pools of pages.  The objective is to get exactly the
      necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled,
      but no more.  The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen().
      From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own

      Herbert.

   7) Add Broadcom SF2 switch driver to DSA layer, from Florian
      Fainelli.

   8) eBPF now can load programs via a system call and has an extensive
      testsuite.  Alexei Starovoitov and Daniel Borkmann.

   9) Major overhaul of the packet scheduler to use RCU in several major
      areas such as the classifiers and rate estimators.  From John

nf pull request for net

This series contains netfilter fixes for net, they are:

1) Fix lockdep splat in nft_hash when releasing sets from the
   rcu_callback context. We don't the mutex there anymore.

2) Remove unnecessary spinlock_bh in the destroy path of the nf_tables
   rbtree set type from rcu_callback context.

3) Fix another lockdep splat in rhashtable. None of the callers hold
   a mutex when calling rhashtable_destroy.

4) Fix duplicated error reporting from nfnetlink when aborting and
   replaying a batch.

5) Fix a Kconfig issue reported by kbuild robot.

Ying Xue 940001762a lib/rhashtable: allow user to set the minimum shifts of shrinking
Although rhashtable library allows user to specify a quiet big size
for user's created hash table, the table may be shrunk to a
very small size - HASH_MIN_SIZE(4) after object is removed from
the table at the first time. Subsequently, even if the total amount
of objects saved in the table is quite lower than user's initial
setting in a long time, the hash table size is still dynamically
adjusted by rhashtable_shrink() or rhashtable_expand() each time
object is inserted or removed from the table. However, as
synchronize_rcu() has to be called when table is shrunk or
expanded by the two functions, we should permit user to set the
minimum table size through configuring the minimum number of shifts
according to user specific requirement, avoiding these expensive
actions of shrinking or expanding because of calling synchronize_rcu().

Pablo Neira Ayuso ae82ddcf8e rhashtable: fix lockdep splat in rhashtable_destroy()
No need for rht_dereference() from rhashtable_destroy() since the
existing callers don't hold the mutex when invoking this function
from:

1) Netlink, this is called in case of memory allocation errors in the
   initialization path, no nl_sk_hash_lock is held.
2) Netfilter, this is called from the rcu callback, no nfnl_lock is
   held either.

I think it's reasonable to assume that the caller has to make sure
that no hash resizing may happen before releasing the bucket array.
Therefore, the caller should be responsible for releasing this in a
safe way, document this to make people aware of it.

This resolves a rcu lockdep splat in nft_hash:

Thomas Graf 7e1e77636e lib: Resizable, Scalable, Concurrent Hash Table
Generic implementation of a resizable, scalable, concurrent hash table
based on [0]. The implementation supports both, fixed size keys specified
via an offset and length, or arbitrary keys via own hash and compare
functions.

Lookups are lockless and protected as RCU read side critical sections.
Automatic growing/shrinking based on user configurable watermarks is
available while allowing concurrent lookups to take place.

Objects to be hashed must include a struct rhash_head. The reason for not
using the existing struct hlist_head is that the expansion and shrinking
will have two buckets point to a single entry which would lead in obscure
reverse chaining behaviour.

Code includes a boot selftest if CONFIG_TEST_RHASHTABLE is defined.
