Roopa Prabhu 14972cbd34 net: lwtunnel: Handle fragmentation
Today mpls iptunnel lwtunnel_output redirect expects the tunnel
output function to handle fragmentation. This is ok but can be
avoided if we did not do the mpls output redirect too early.
ie we could wait until ip fragmentation is done and then call
mpls output for each ip fragment.

To make this work we will need,
1) the lwtunnel state to carry encap headroom
2) and do the redirect to the encap output handler on the ip fragment
(essentially do the output redirect after fragmentation)

This patch adds tunnel headroom in lwtstate to make sure we
account for tunnel data in mtu calculations during fragmentation
and adds new xmit redirect handler to redirect to lwtunnel xmit func
after ip fragmentation.

This includes IPV6 and some mtu fixes and testing from David Ahern.

Eric Dumazet c9c3321257 tcp: add tcp_add_backlog()
When TCP operates in lossy environments (between 1 and 10 % packet
losses), many SACK blocks can be exchanged, and I noticed we could
drop them on busy senders, if these SACK blocks have to be queued
into the socket backlog.

While the main cause is the poor performance of RACK/SACK processing,
we can try to avoid these drops of valuable information that can lead to
spurious timeouts and retransmits.

Cause of the drops is the skb->truesize overestimation caused by :

- drivers allocating ~2048 (or more) bytes as a fragment to hold an
  Ethernet frame.

- various pskb_may_pull() calls bringing the headers into skb->head
  might have pulled all the frame content, but skb->truesize could
  not be lowered, as the stack has no idea of each fragment truesize.

The backlog drops are also more visible on bidirectional flows, since
their sk_rmem_alloc can be quite big.

Let's add some room for the backlog, as only the socket owner
can selectively take action to lower memory needs, like collapsing
receive queues or partial ofo pruning.

Lorenzo Colitti a52e95abf7 net: diag: allow socket bytecode filters to match socket marks
This allows a privileged process to filter by socket mark when
dumping sockets via INET_DIAG_BY_FAMILY. This is useful on
systems that use mark-based routing such as Android.

The ability to filter socket marks requires CAP_NET_ADMIN, which
is consistent with other privileged operations allowed by the
SOCK_DIAG interface such as the ability to destroy sockets and
the ability to inspect BPF filters attached to packet sockets.

Shmulik Ladkani c0451fe1f2 net: ip_finish_output_gso: Allow fragmenting segments of tunneled skbs if their DF is unset
In b8247f095e,

   "net: ip_finish_output_gso: If skb_gso_network_seglen exceeds MTU, allow segmentation for local udp tunneled skbs"

gso skbs arriving from an ingress interface that go through UDP
tunneling, are allowed to be fragmented if the resulting encapulated
segments exceed the dst mtu of the egress interface.

This aligned the behavior of gso skbs to non-gso skbs going through udp
encapsulation path.

However the non-gso vs gso anomaly is present also in the following
cases of a GRE tunnel:
 - ip_gre in collect_md mode, where TUNNEL_DONT_FRAGMENT is not set
   (e.g. OvS vport-gre with df_default=false)
 - ip_gre in nopmtudisc mode, where IFLA_GRE_IGNORE_DF is set

In both of the above cases, the non-gso skbs get fragmented, whereas the
gso skbs (having skb_gso_network_seglen that exceeds dst mtu) get dropped,
as they don't go through the segment+fragment code path.

Fix: Setting IPSKB_FRAG_SEGS if the tunnel specified IP_DF bit is NOT set.

Tunnels that do set IP_DF, will not go to fragmentation of segments.
This preserves behavior of ip_gre in (the default) pmtudisc mode.

Eric Dumazet 36a6503fed tcp: refine tcp_prune_ofo_queue() to not drop all packets
Over the years, TCP BDP has increased a lot, and is typically
in the order of ~10 Mbytes with help of clever Congestion Control
modules.

In presence of packet losses, TCP stores incoming packets into an out of
order queue, and number of skbs sitting there waiting for the missing
packets to be received can match the BDP (~10 Mbytes)

In some cases, TCP needs to make room for incoming skbs, and current
strategy can simply remove all skbs in the out of order queue as a last
resort, incurring a huge penalty, both for receiver and sender.

Unfortunately these 'last resort events' are quite frequent, forcing
sender to send all packets again, stalling the flow and wasting a lot of
resources.

This patch cleans only a part of the out of order queue in order
to meet the memory constraints.

Lance Richardson a5d0dc810a vti: flush x-netns xfrm cache when vti interface is removed
When executing the script included below, the netns delete operation
hangs with the following message (repeated at 10 second intervals):

  kernel:unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1

This occurs because a reference to the lo interface in the "secure" netns
is still held by a dst entry in the xfrm bundle cache in the init netns.

Address this problem by garbage collecting the tunnel netns flow cache
when a cross-namespace vti interface receives a NETDEV_DOWN notification.

A more detailed description of the problem scenario (referencing commands
in the script below):

(1) ip link add vti_test type vti local 1.1.1.1 remote 1.1.1.2 key 1

  The vti_test interface is created in the init namespace. vti_tunnel_init()
  attaches a struct ip_tunnel to the vti interface's netdev_priv(dev),
  setting the tunnel net to &init_net.

(2) ip link set vti_test netns secure

  The vti_test interface is moved to the "secure" netns. Note that
  the associated struct ip_tunnel still has tunnel->net set to &init_net.

(3) ip netns exec secure ping -c 4 -i 0.02 -I 192.168.100.1 192.168.200.1

  The first packet sent using the vti device causes xfrm_lookup() to be
  called as follows:

      dst = xfrm_lookup(tunnel->net, skb_dst(skb), fl, NULL, 0);

  Note that tunnel->net is the init namespace, while skb_dst(skb) references
  the vti_test interface in the "secure" namespace. The returned dst
  references an interface in the init namespace.

  Also note that the first parameter to xfrm_lookup() determines which flow
  cache is used to store the computed xfrm bundle, so after xfrm_lookup()
  returns there will be a cached bundle in the init namespace flow cache
  with a dst referencing a device in the "secure" namespace.

(4) ip netns del secure

  Kernel begins to delete the "secure" namespace.  At some point the
  vti_test interface is deleted, at which point dst_ifdown() changes
  the dst->dev in the cached xfrm bundle flow from vti_test to lo (still
  in the "secure" namespace however).
  Since nothing has happened to cause the init namespace's flow cache
  to be garbage collected, this dst remains attached to the flow cache,
  so the kernel loops waiting for the last reference to lo to go away.

   EXCLUDE (A)       INCLUDE (B)       TO_IN (B)

So we should not send source-list change if there is a filter-mode change.

Here are two scenarios:
1. Group deleted and filter mode is EXCLUDE, which means we need send a
   TO_IN { }.
2. Not group deleted, but has pcm->crcount, which means we need send a
   normal filter-mode-change.

At the same time, if the type is ALLOW or BLOCK, and have psf->sf_crcount,
we stop add records and decrease sf_crcount directly

Uwe Kleine-König 2647cffb2b net: ipconfig: Support using "delayed" DHCP replies
The dhcp code only waits 1s between sending DHCP requests on different
devices and only accepts an answer for the device that sent out the last
request. Only the timeout at the end of a loop is increased iteratively
which favours only the last device. This makes it impossible to work
with a dhcp server that takes little more than 1s connected to a device
that is not the last one.

Instead of also increasing the inter-device timeout, teach the code to
handle delayed replies.

To accomplish that, make *ic_dev track the current ic_device instead of
the current net_device and adapt all users accordingly. The relevant
change then is to reset d to ic_dev on a reply to assert that the
followup request goes through the right device.

Soheil Hassas Yeganeh f626300a3e tcp: consider recv buf for the initial window scale
tcp_select_initial_window() intends to advertise a window
scaling for the maximum possible window size. To do so,
it considers the maximum of net.ipv4.tcp_rmem[2] and
net.core.rmem_max as the only possible upper-bounds.
However, users with CAP_NET_ADMIN can use SO_RCVBUFFORCE
to set the socket's receive buffer size to values
larger than net.ipv4.tcp_rmem[2] and net.core.rmem_max.
Thus, SO_RCVBUFFORCE is effectively ignored by
tcp_select_initial_window().

To fix this, consider the maximum of net.ipv4.tcp_rmem[2],
net.core.rmem_max and socket's initial buffer space.

they are:

1) Count pre-established connections as active in "least connection"
   schedulers such that pre-established connections to avoid overloading
   backend servers on peak demands, from Michal Kubecek via Simon Horman.

2) Address a race condition when resizing the conntrack table by caching
   the bucket size when fulling iterating over the hashtable in these
   three possible scenarios: 1) dump via /proc/net/nf_conntrack,
   2) unlinking userspace helper and 3) unlinking custom conntrack timeout.
   From Liping Zhang.

3) Revisit early_drop() path to perform lockless traversal on conntrack
   eviction under stress, use del_timer() as synchronization point to
   avoid two CPUs evicting the same entry, from Florian Westphal.

4) Move NAT hlist_head to nf_conn object, this simplifies the existing
   NAT extension and it doesn't increase size since recent patches to
   align nf_conn, from Florian.

5) Use rhashtable for the by-source NAT hashtable, also from Florian.

6) Don't allow --physdev-is-out from OUTPUT chain, just like
   --physdev-out is not either, from Hangbin Liu.

7) Automagically set on nf_conntrack counters if the user tries to
   match ct bytes/packets from nftables, from Liping Zhang.

8) Remove possible_net_t fields in nf_tables set objects since we just
   simply pass the net pointer to the backend set type implementations.

9) Fix possible off-by-one in h323, from Toby DiPasquale.

10) early_drop() may be called from ctnetlink patch, so we must hold
    rcu read size lock from them too, this amends Florian's patch #3
    coming in this batch, from Liping Zhang.

11) Use binary search to validate jump offset in x_tables, this
    addresses the O(n!) validation that was introduced recently
    resolve security issues with unpriviledge namespaces, from Florian.

12) Fix reference leak to connlabel in error path of nft_ct, from Zhang.

13) Three updates for nft_log: Fix log prefix leak in error path. Bail
    out on loglevel larger than debug in nft_log and set on the new
    NF_LOG_F_COPY_LEN flag when snaplen is specified. Again from Zhang.

14) Allow to filter rule dumps in nf_tables based on table and chain
    names.

15) Simplify connlabel to always use 128 bits to store labels and
    get rid of unused function in xt_connlabel, from Florian.

16) Replace set_expect_timeout() by mod_timer() from the h323 conntrack
    helper, by Gao Feng.

17) Put back x_tables module reference in nft_compat on error, from
    Liping Zhang.

18) Add a reference count to the x_tables extensions cache in
    nft_compat, so we can remove them when unused and avoid a crash
    if the extensions are rmmod, again from Zhang.

Shmulik Ladkani b8247f095e net: ip_finish_output_gso: If skb_gso_network_seglen exceeds MTU, allow segmentation for local udp tunneled skbs
Given:
 - tap0 and vxlan0 are bridged
 - vxlan0 stacked on eth0, eth0 having small mtu (e.g. 1400)

Assume GSO skbs arriving from tap0 having a gso_size as determined by
user-provided virtio_net_hdr (e.g. 1460 corresponding to VM mtu of 1500).

After encapsulation these skbs have skb_gso_network_seglen that exceed
eth0's ip_skb_dst_mtu.

These skbs are accidentally passed to ip_finish_output2 AS IS.
Alas, each final segment (segmented either by validate_xmit_skb or by
hardware UFO) would be larger than eth0 mtu.
As a result, those above-mtu segments get dropped on certain networks.

This behavior is not aligned with the NON-GSO case:
Assume a non-gso 1500-sized IP packet arrives from tap0. After
encapsulation, the vxlan datagram is fragmented normally at the
ip_finish_output-->ip_fragment code path.

The expected behavior for the GSO case would be segmenting the
"gso-oversized" skb first, then fragmenting each segment according to
dst mtu, and finally passing the resulting fragments to ip_finish_output2.

'ip_finish_output_gso' already supports this "Slowpath" behavior,
according to the IPSKB_FRAG_SEGS flag, which is only set during ipv4
forwarding (not set in the bridged case).

In order to support the bridged case, we'll mark skbs arriving from an
ingress interface that get udp-encaspulated as "allowed to be fragmented",
causing their network_seglen to be validated by 'ip_finish_output_gso'
(and fragment if needed).

Note the TUNNEL_DONT_FRAGMENT tun_flag is still honoured (both in the
gso and non-gso cases), which serves users wishing to forbid
fragmentation at the udp tunnel endpoint.

Florian Westphal f4dc77713f netfilter: x_tables: speed up jump target validation
The dummy ruleset I used to test the original validation change was broken,
most rules were unreachable and were not tested by mark_source_chains().

In some cases rulesets that used to load in a few seconds now require
several minutes.

sample ruleset that shows the behaviour:

echo "*filter"
for i in $(seq 0 100000);do
        printf ":chain_%06x - [0:0]\n" $i
done
for i in $(seq 0 100000);do
   printf -- "-A INPUT -j chain_%06x\n" $i
   printf -- "-A INPUT -j chain_%06x\n" $i
   printf -- "-A INPUT -j chain_%06x\n" $i
done
echo COMMIT

[ pipe result into iptables-restore ]

This ruleset will be about 74mbyte in size, with ~500k searches
though all 500k[1] rule entries. iptables-restore will take forever
(gave up after 10 minutes)

Instead of always searching the entire blob for a match, fill an
array with the start offsets of every single ipt_entry struct,
then do a binary search to check if the jump target is present or not.

After this change ruleset restore times get again close to what one
gets when reverting 3647234101 (~3 seconds on my workstation).

[1] every user-defined rule gets an implicit RETURN, so we get
300k jumps + 100k userchains + 100k returns -> 500k rule entries

Nikolay Aleksandrov 43b9e12740 net: ipmr/ip6mr: add support for keeping an entry age
In preparation for hardware offloading of ipmr/ip6mr we need an
interface that allows to check (and later update) the age of entries.
Relying on stats alone can show activity but not actual age of the entry,
furthermore when there're tens of thousands of entries a lot of the
hardware implementations only support "hit" bits which are cleared on
read to denote that the entry was active and shouldn't be aged out,
these can then be naturally translated into age timestamp and will be
compatible with the software forwarding age. Using a lastuse entry doesn't
affect performance because the members in that cache line are written to
along with the age.
Since all new users are encouraged to use ipmr via netlink, this is
exported via the RTA_EXPIRES attribute.
Also do a minor local variable declaration style adjustment - arrange them

Jason Baron 083ae30828 tcp: enable per-socket rate limiting of all 'challenge acks'
The per-socket rate limit for 'challenge acks' was introduced in the
context of limiting ack loops:

commit f2b2c582e8 ("tcp: mitigate ACK loops for connections as tcp_sock")

And I think it can be extended to rate limit all 'challenge acks' on a
per-socket basis.

Since we have the global tcp_challenge_ack_limit, this patch allows for
tcp_challenge_ack_limit to be set to a large value and effectively rely on
the per-socket limit, or set tcp_challenge_ack_limit to a lower value and
still prevents a single connections from consuming the entire challenge ack
quota.

It further moves in the direction of eliminating the global limit at some
point, as Eric Dumazet has suggested. This a follow-up to:
