Eric Dumazet fc66f95c68 net dst: use a percpu_counter to track entries
struct dst_ops tracks number of allocated dst in an atomic_t field,
subject to high cache line contention in stress workload.

Switch to a percpu_counter, to reduce number of time we need to dirty a
central location. Place it on a separate cache line to avoid dirtying
read only fields.

Stress test :

IP route cache disabled, dual E5540 @2.53GHz,
32bit kernel, FIB_TRIE, SLUB/NUMA)

Before:

While using xfrm by MARK feature in
2.6.34 - 2.6.35 kernels, the mark
is always cleared in flowi structure via memset in
_decode_session4 (net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c), so
the policy lookup fails.

Timo Teräs 80c802f307 xfrm: cache bundles instead of policies for outgoing flows
__xfrm_lookup() is called for each packet transmitted out of
system. The xfrm_find_bundle() does a linear search which can
kill system performance depending on how many bundles are
required per policy.

This modifies __xfrm_lookup() to store bundles directly in
the flow cache. If we did not get a hit, we just create a new
bundle instead of doing slow search. This means that we can now
get multiple xfrm_dst's for same flow (on per-cpu basis).

Herbert Xu 87c1e12b5e ipsec: Fix bogus bundle flowi
When I merged the bundle creation code, I introduced a bogus
flowi value in the bundle.  Instead of getting from the caller,
it was instead set to the flow in the route object, which is
totally different.

The end result is that the bundles we created never match, and
we instead end up with an ever growing bundle list.

Thanks to Jamal for find this problem.

Alexey Dobriyan d7c7544c3d netns xfrm: deal with dst entries in netns
GC is non-existent in netns, so after you hit GC threshold, no new
dst entries will be created until someone triggers cleanup in init_net.

Make xfrm4_dst_ops and xfrm6_dst_ops per-netns.
This is not done in a generic way, because it woule waste
(AF_MAX - 2) * sizeof(struct dst_ops) bytes per-netns.

Reorder GC threshold initialization so it'd be done before registering

Neil Horman a33bc5c151 xfrm: select sane defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_thresh
Choose saner defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_thresh values on init

Currently, the xfrm[4|6] code has hard-coded initial gc_thresh values
(set to 1024).  Given that the ipv4 and ipv6 routing caches are sized
dynamically at boot time, the static selections can be non-sensical.
This patch dynamically selects an appropriate gc threshold based on
the corresponding main routing table size, using the assumption that
we should in the worst case be able to handle as many connections as
the routing table can.

For ipv4, the maximum route cache size is 16 * the number of hash
buckets in the route cache.  Given that xfrm4 starts garbage
collection at the gc_thresh and prevents new allocations at 2 *
gc_thresh, we set gc_thresh to half the maximum route cache size.

For ipv6, its a bit trickier.  there is no maximum route cache size,
but the ipv6 dst_ops gc_thresh is statically set to 1024.  It seems
sane to select a simmilar gc_thresh for the xfrm6 code that is half
the number of hash buckets in the v6 route cache times 16 (like the v4
code does).

Neil Horman a44a4a006b xfrm: export xfrm garbage collector thresholds via sysctl
Export garbage collector thresholds for xfrm[4|6]_dst_ops

Had a problem reported to me recently in which a high volume of ipsec
connections on a system began reporting ENOBUFS for new connections
eventually.

It seemed that after about 2000 connections we started being unable to
create more.  A quick look revealed that the xfrm code used a dst_ops
structure that limited the gc_thresh value to 1024, and always
dropped route cache entries after 2x the gc_thresh.

It seems the most direct solution is to export the gc_thresh values in
the xfrm[4|6] dst_ops as sysctls, like the main routing table does, so
that higher volumes of connections can be supported.  This patch has
been tested and allows the reporter to increase their ipsec connection
volume successfully.

Nicolas Dichtel 7e3a42a12c xfrm6: handling fragment
RFC4301 Section 7.1 says:

"7.1.  Tunnel Mode SAs that Carry Initial and Non-Initial Fragments

     All implementations MUST support tunnel mode SAs that are configured
     to pass traffic without regard to port field (or ICMP type/code or
     Mobility Header type) values.  If the SA will carry traffic for
     specified protocols, the selector set for the SA MUST specify the
     port fields (or ICMP type/code or Mobility Header type) as ANY.  An
     SA defined in this fashion will carry all traffic including initial
     and non-initial fragments for the indicated Local/Remote addresses
     and specified Next Layer protocol(s)."

But for IPv6, fragment is treated as a protocol.  This change catches
protocol transported in fragmented packet.  In IPv4, there is no
problem.

This is the first part of an attempt to fix inter-family transforms.  As it

What we really want is to use the inner family for the first part of outbound
processing and the outer family for the second part.  For inbound processing
we'd use the opposite pairing.

like tunnel mode does.  Since BEET should behave just like tunnel mode
this is incorrect.

This patch fixes this by introducing a flags field to xfrm_mode that
tells the IPsec code whether it should terminate and reinject the packet
back into the stack.

It then sets the flag for BEET and tunnel mode.

I've also added a number of missing BEET checks elsewhere where we check
whether a given mode is a tunnel or not.

Eric W. Biederman 2774c7aba6 [NET]: Make the loopback device per network namespace.
This patch makes loopback_dev per network namespace.  Adding
code to create a different loopback device for each network
namespace and adding the code to free a loopback device
when a network namespace exits.

This patch modifies all users the loopback_dev so they
access it as init_net.loopback_dev, keeping all of the
code compiling and working.  A later pass will be needed to
update the users to use something other than the initial network
namespace.

Daniel Lezcano de3cb747ff [NET]: Dynamically allocate the loopback device, part 1.
This patch replaces all occurences to the static variable
loopback_dev to a pointer loopback_dev. That provides the
mindless, trivial, uninteressting change part for the dynamic
allocation for the loopback.

Masahide NAKAMURA 59fbb3a61e [IPV6] MIP6: Loadable module support for MIPv6.
This patch makes MIPv6 loadable module named "mip6".

Here is a modprobe.conf(5) example to load it automatically
when user application uses XFRM state for MIPv6:

alias xfrm-type-10-43 mip6
alias xfrm-type-10-60 mip6

Some MIPv6 feature is not included by this modular, however,
it should not be affected to other features like either IPsec
or IPv6 with and without the patch.
We may discuss XFRM, MH (RAW socket) and ancillary data/sockopt
separately for future work.

Loadable features:
* MH receiving check (to send ICMP error back)
* RO header parsing and building (i.e. RH2 and HAO in DSTOPTS)
* XFRM policy/state database handling for RO

These are NOT covered as loadable:
* Home Address flags and its rule on source address selection
* XFRM sub policy (depends on its own kernel option)
* XFRM functions to receive RO as IPv6 extension header
* MH sending/receiving through raw socket if user application
  opens it (since raw socket allows to do so)
* RH2 sending as ancillary data
* RH2 operation with setsockopt(2)

Stephen Hemminger 3ff50b7997 [NET]: cleanup extra semicolons
Spring cleaning time...

There seems to be a lot of places in the network code that have
extra bogus semicolons after conditionals.  Most commonly is a
bogus semicolon after: switch() { }

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo cfe1fc7759 [SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_network_header_len
For the common sequence "skb->h.raw - skb->nh.raw", similar to skb->mac_len,
that is precalculated tho, don't think we need to bloat skb with one more
member, so just use this new helper, reducing the number of non-skbuff.h
references to the layer headers even more.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 0660e03f6b [SK_BUFF]: Introduce ipv6_hdr(), remove skb->nh.ipv6h
Now the skb->nh union has just one member, .raw, i.e. it is just like the
skb->mac union, strange, no? I'm just leaving it like that till the transport
layer is done with, when we'll rename skb->mac.raw to skb->mac_header (or
->mac_header_offset?), ditto for ->{h,nh}.
