Eric Dumazet ccf434380d net: fix dev_seq_next()
Commit c6d14c8456 (net: Introduce for_each_netdev_rcu() iterator)
added a race in dev_seq_next().

The rcu_dereference() call should be done _before_ testing the end of
list, or we might return a wrong net_device if a concurrent thread
changes net_device list under us.

Note : discovered thanks to a sparse warning :

net/core/dev.c:3919:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression

Kurt Van Dijck 6d3a9a6854 net: fix validate_link_af in rtnetlink core
I'm testing an API that uses IFLA_AF_SPEC attribute.
In the rtnetlink core , the set_link_af() member
of the rtnl_af_ops struct receives the nested attribute
(as I expected), but the validate_link_af() member
receives the parent attribute.
IMO, this patch fixes this.

David S. Miller 62fa8a846d net: Implement read-only protection and COW'ing of metrics.
Routing metrics are now copy-on-write.

Initially a route entry points it's metrics at a read-only location.
If a routing table entry exists, it will point there.  Else it will
point at the all zero metric place-holder called 'dst_default_metrics'.

The writeability state of the metrics is stored in the low bits of the
metrics pointer, we have two bits left to spare if we want to store
more states.

For the initial implementation, COW is implemented simply via kmalloc.
However future enhancements will change this to place the writable
metrics somewhere else, in order to increase sharing.  Very likely
this "somewhere else" will be the inetpeer cache.

Note also that this means that metrics updates may transiently fail
if we cannot COW the metrics successfully.

But even by itself, this patch should decrease memory usage and
increase cache locality especially for routing workloads.  In those
cases the read-only metric copies stay in place and never get written
to.

TCP workloads where metrics get updated, and those rare cases where
PMTU triggers occur, will take a very slight performance hit.  But
that hit will be alleviated when the long-term writable metrics
move to a more sharable location.

Since the metrics storage went from a u32 array of RTAX_MAX entries to
what is essentially a pointer, some retooling of the dst_entry layout
was necessary.

Most importantly, we need to preserve the alignment of the reference
count so that it doesn't share cache lines with the read-mostly state,
as per Eric Dumazet's alignment assertion checks.

The only non-trivial bit here is the move of the 'flags' member into
the writeable cacheline.  This is OK since we are always accessing the
flags around the same moment when we made a modification to the
reference count.

Ben Hutchings c445477d74 net: RPS: Enable hardware acceleration of RFS
Allow drivers for multiqueue hardware with flow filter tables to
accelerate RFS.  The driver must:

1. Set net_device::rx_cpu_rmap to a cpu_rmap of the RX completion
IRQs (in queue order).  This will provide a mapping from CPUs to the
queues for which completions are handled nearest to them.

2. Implement net_device_ops::ndo_rx_flow_steer.  This operation adds
or replaces a filter steering the given flow to the given RX queue, if
possible.

3. Periodically remove filters for which rps_may_expire_flow() returns
true.

Michal Schmidt d1dc7abf2f GRO: fix merging a paged skb after non-paged skbs
Suppose that several linear skbs of the same flow were received by GRO. They
were thus merged into one skb with a frag_list. Then a new skb of the same flow
arrives, but it is a paged skb with data starting in its frags[].

Before adding the skb to the frag_list skb_gro_receive() will of course adjust
the skb to throw away the headers. It correctly modifies the page_offset and
size of the frag, but it leaves incorrect information in the skb:
 ->data_len is not decreased at all.
 ->len is decreased only by headlen, as if no change were done to the frag.
Later in a receiving process this causes skb_copy_datagram_iovec() to return
-EFAULT and this is seen in userspace as the result of the recv() syscall.

In practice the bug can be reproduced with the sfc driver. By default the
driver uses an adaptive scheme when it switches between using
napi_gro_receive() (with skbs) and napi_gro_frags() (with pages). The bug is
reproduced when under rx load with enough successful GRO merging the driver
decides to switch from the former to the latter.

Manual control is also possible, so reproducing this is easy with netcat:
 - on machine1 (with sfc): nc -l 12345 > /dev/null
 - on machine2: nc machine1 12345 < /dev/zero
 - on machine1:
   echo 1 > /sys/module/sfc/parameters/rx_alloc_method  # use skbs
   echo 2 > /sys/module/sfc/parameters/rx_alloc_method  # use pages
 - See that nc has quit suddenly.

[v2: Modified by Eric Dumazet to avoid advancing skb->data past the end
     and to use a temporary variable.]

Patrick McHardy ffa934f192 rtnetlink: fix link attribute validation with IFLA_GROUP
rtnl_group_changelink() is invoked by rtnl_newlink() before the link
attributes have been validated. Additionally the group changes are
performed even if NLM_F_CREATE is specified and a new link is
created, while more reasonable semantics would be to set the group
value on the newly created link.

Fix both problems by moving the rtnl_group_changelink() invocation
down to the handling of non-existant links without NLM_F_CREATE()
and add a dev_set_group() call to rtnl_create_link().

John Fastabend 4f57c087de net: implement mechanism for HW based QOS
This patch provides a mechanism for lower layer devices to
steer traffic using skb->priority to tx queues. This allows
for hardware based QOS schemes to use the default qdisc without
incurring the penalties related to global state and the qdisc
lock. While reliably receiving skbs on the correct tx ring
to avoid head of line blocking resulting from shuffling in
the LLD. Finally, all the goodness from txq caching and xps/rps
can still be leveraged.

Many drivers and hardware exist with the ability to implement
QOS schemes in the hardware but currently these drivers tend
to rely on firmware to reroute specific traffic, a driver
specific select_queue or the queue_mapping action in the
qdisc.

By using select_queue for this drivers need to be updated for
each and every traffic type and we lose the goodness of much
of the upstream work. Firmware solutions are inherently
inflexible. And finally if admins are expected to build a
qdisc and filter rules to steer traffic this requires knowledge
of how the hardware is currently configured. The number of tx
queues and the queue offsets may change depending on resources.
Also this approach incurs all the overhead of a qdisc with filters.

With the mechanism in this patch users can set skb priority using
expected methods ie setsockopt() or the stack can set the priority
directly. Then the skb will be steered to the correct tx queues
aligned with hardware QOS traffic classes. In the normal case with
single traffic class and all queues in this class everything
works as is until the LLD enables multiple tcs.

To steer the skb we mask out the lower 4 bits of the priority
and allow the hardware to configure upto 15 distinct classes
of traffic. This is expected to be sufficient for most applications
at any rate it is more then the 8021Q spec designates and is
equal to the number of prio bands currently implemented in
the default qdisc.

This in conjunction with a userspace application such as
lldpad can be used to implement 8021Q transmission selection
algorithms one of these algorithms being the extended transmission
selection algorithm currently being used for DCB.

After recent changes, (percpu stats on vlan/tunnels...), we dont need

Only remaining users are ixgbe, sch_teql, gianfar & macvlan :

1) ixgbe can be converted to use existing tx_ring counters.

2) macvlan incremented txq->tx_dropped, it can use the
dev->stats.tx_dropped counter.

3) sch_teql : almost revert ab35cd4b8f (Use net_device internal stats)
    Now we have ndo_get_stats64(), use it, even for "unsigned long"
fields (No need to bring back a struct net_device_stats)

4) gianfar adds a stats structure per tx queue to hold
tx_bytes/tx_packets

This removes a lockdep warning (and possible lockup) in rndis gadget,
calling dev_get_stats() from hard IRQ context.

KOVACS Krisztian 2fc72c7b84 netfilter: fix compilation when conntrack is disabled but tproxy is enabled
The IPv6 tproxy patches split IPv6 defragmentation off of conntrack, but
failed to update the #ifdef stanzas guarding the defragmentation related
fields and code in skbuff and conntrack related code in nf_defrag_ipv6.c.

This patch adds the required #ifdefs so that IPv6 tproxy can truly be used
without connection tracking.

In order to compute the features for other offloads (primarily

This switches skb_need_linearize() to use the features that have
been centrally computed.  In doing so, this fixes a problem where
scatter/gather should not be used because the card does not support
checksum offloading on that type of packet.  On device registration
we only check that some form of checksum offloading is available if
scatter/gatther is enabled but we must also check at transmission
time.  Examples of this include IPv6 or vlan packets on a NIC that
only supports IPv4 offloading.

Jesse Gross f01a5236bd net offloading: Generalize netif_get_vlan_features().
netif_get_vlan_features() is currently only used by netif_needs_gso(),
so it only concerns itself with GSO features.  However, several other
places also should take into account the contents of the packet when
deciding whether to offload to hardware.  This generalizes the function
to return features about all of the various forms of offloading.  Since
offloads tend to be linked together, this avoids duplicating the logic
in each location (i.e. the scatter/gather code also needs the checksum
logic).

Jesse Gross 9497a0518e net offloading: Accept NETIF_F_HW_CSUM for all protocols.
We currently only have software fallback for one type of checksum: the
TCP/UDP one's complement.  This means that a protocol that uses hardware
offloading for a different type of checksum (FCoE, SCTP) must directly
check the device's features and do the right thing ahead of time.  By
the time we get to dev_can_checksum(), we're only deciding whether to
apply the one algorithm in software or hardware.  NETIF_F_HW_CSUM has the
same capabilities as the software version, so we should always use it if
present.  The primary advantage of this is multiply tagged vlans can use
hardware checksumming.

Eric Dumazet 2c6607c611 net: add POLLPRI to sock_def_readable()
Leonardo Chiquitto found poll() could block forever on tcp sockets and
Urgent data was received, if the event flag only contains POLLPRI.

He did a bisection and found commit 4938d7e023 (poll: avoid extra
wakeups in select/poll) was the source of the problem.

Problem is TCP sockets use standard sock_def_readable() function for
their sk_data_ready() handler, and sock_def_readable() doesnt signal
POLLPRI.

Only TCP is affected by the problem. Adding POLLPRI to the list of flags
might trigger unnecessary schedules, but URGENT handling is such a
seldom used feature this seems a good compromise.

Thanks a lot to Leonardo for providing the bisection result and a test
program as well.

Eric Dumazet 12b16dadbc filter: optimize accesses to ancillary data
We can translate pseudo load instructions at filter check time to
dedicated instructions to speed up filtering and avoid one switch().
libpcap currently uses SKF_AD_PROTOCOL, but custom filters probably use
other ancillary accesses.

Note : I made the assertion that ancillary data was always accessed with
BPF_LD|BPF_?|BPF_ABS instructions, not with BPF_LD|BPF_?|BPF_IND ones
(offset given by K constant, not by K + X register)

On x86_64, this saves a few bytes of text :

[PATCH net-next-2.6] net: timestamp cloned packet in dev_queue_xmit_nit

Now we do one clone of skb if at least one sniffer might take packet,
we also can do the skb timestamping on the clone and let original packet
unchanged.

This is a generalization of commit 8caf153974 (net: sch_netem: Fix an
inconsistency in ingress netem timestamps.)

This way, we can have a good idea when packets are delivered to our
stack (tcpdump -i ifb0), while a tcpdump on original device gives
timestamps right before ingressing.

This also speedup our stack, avoiding taking timestamps if not needed.

it's probably two cache lines are prefetched.

With this patch, pktgen on Intel SR1625 server with two E5530
quad-core processors and a single ixgbe-based NIC went from 8.63Mpps
to 9.03Mpps, with 4.6% improvement.

Eric Dumazet 4bc65dd8d8 filter: use size of fetched data in __load_pointer()
__load_pointer() checks data we fetch from skb is included in head
portion, but assumes we fetch one byte, instead of up to four.

This wont crash because we have extra bytes (struct skb_shared_info)
after head, but this can read uninitialized bytes.

Fix this using size of the data (1, 2, 4 bytes) in the test.

Eric Dumazet 68835aba4d net: optimize INET input path further
Followup of commit b178bb3dfc (net: reorder struct sock fields)

Optimize INET input path a bit further, by :

1) moving sk_refcnt close to sk_lock.

This reduces number of dirtied cache lines by one on 64bit arches (and
64 bytes cache line size).

2) moving inet_daddr & inet_rcv_saddr at the beginning of sk

(same cache line than hash / family / bound_dev_if / nulls_node)

This reduces number of accessed cache lines in lookups by one, and dont
increase size of inet and timewait socks.
inet and tw sockets now share same place-holder for these fields.

Before patch :

offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) = 0x10
offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) = 0x40
offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue) = 0x60
offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_daddr) = 0x270
offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_rcv_saddr) = 0x274

After patch :

offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) = 0x44
offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) = 0x48
offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue) = 0x68
offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_daddr) = 0x0
offsetof(struct inet_sock, inet_rcv_saddr) = 0x4

compute_score() (udp or tcp) now use a single cache line per ignored
item, instead of two.

While doing this analysis, I found a refcount bug in llc, I'll send a

Meanwhile, here is the patch for net-next-2.6

Your patch then can be applied after mine.

Thanks

[PATCH] net: RCU conversion of dev_getbyhwaddr() and arp_ioctl()

dev_getbyhwaddr() was called under RTNL.

Rename it to dev_getbyhwaddr_rcu() and change all its caller to now use
RCU locking instead of RTNL.

Change arp_ioctl() to use RCU instead of RTNL locking.

Eric Dumazet 2d5311e4e8 filter: add a security check at install time
We added some security checks in commit 57fe93b374
(filter: make sure filters dont read uninitialized memory) to close a
potential leak of kernel information to user.

This added a potential extra cost at run time, while we can perform a
check of the filter itself, to make sure a malicious user doesnt try to
abuse us.

This patch adds a check_loads() function, whole unique purpose is to
make this check, allocating a temporary array of mask. We scan the
filter and propagate a bitmask information, telling us if a load M(K) is
allowed because a previous store M(K) is guaranteed. (So that
sk_run_filter() can possibly not read unitialized memory)

Note: this can uncover application bug, denying a filter attach,
previously allowed.

We can not use filter->rcu without being sure no other thread could do

Thomas Graf cf7afbfeb8 rtnl: make link af-specific updates atomic
As David pointed out correctly, updates to af-specific attributes
are currently not atomic. If multiple changes are requested and
one of them fails, previous updates may have been applied already
leaving the link behind in a undefined state.

This patch splits the function parse_link_af() into two functions
validate_link_af() and set_link_at(). validate_link_af() is placed
to validate_linkmsg() check for errors as early as possible before
any changes to the link have been made. set_link_af() is called to
commit the changes later.

This method is not fail proof, while it is currently sufficient
to make set_link_af() inerrable and thus 100% atomic, the
validation function method will not be able to detect all error
scenarios in the future, there will likely always be errors
depending on states which are f.e. not protected by rtnl_mutex
and thus may change between validation and setting.

Also, instead of silently ignoring unknown address families and
config blocks for address families which did not register a set
function the errors EAFNOSUPPORT respectively EOPNOSUPPORT are
returned to avoid comitting 4 out of 5 update requests without
notifying the user.

Tom Herbert 1d24eb4815 xps: Transmit Packet Steering
This patch implements transmit packet steering (XPS) for multiqueue
devices.  XPS selects a transmit queue during packet transmission based
on configuration.  This is done by mapping the CPU transmitting the
packet to a queue.  This is the transmit side analogue to RPS-- where
RPS is selecting a CPU based on receive queue, XPS selects a queue
based on the CPU (previously there was an XPS patch from Eric
Dumazet, but that might more appropriately be called transmit completion
steering).

Each transmit queue can be associated with a number of CPUs which will
use the queue to send packets.  This is configured as a CPU mask on a
per queue basis in:

/sys/class/net/eth<n>/queues/tx-<n>/xps_cpus

The mappings are stored per device in an inverted data structure that
maps CPUs to queues.  In the netdevice structure this is an array of
num_possible_cpu structures where each structure holds and array of
queue_indexes for queues which that CPU can use.

The benefits of XPS are improved locality in the per queue data
structures.  Also, transmit completions are more likely to be done
nearer to the sending thread, so this should promote locality back
to the socket on free (e.g. UDP).  The benefits of XPS are dependent on
cache hierarchy, application load, and other factors.  XPS would
nominally be configured so that a queue would only be shared by CPUs
which are sharing a cache, the degenerative configuration woud be that
each CPU has it's own queue.

Below are some benchmark results which show the potential benfit of
this patch.  The netperf test has 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test
with 1 byte req. and resp.

bnx2x on 16 core AMD
   XPS (16 queues, 1 TX queue per CPU)  1234K at 100% CPU

Tom Herbert 3853b5841c xps: Improvements in TX queue selection
In dev_pick_tx, don't do work in calculating queue
index or setting
the index in the sock unless the device has more than one queue.  This
allows the sock to be set only with a queue index of a multi-queue
device which is desirable if device are stacked like in a tunnel.

We also allow the mapping of a socket to queue to be changed.  To
maintain in order packet transmission a flag (ooo_okay) has been
added to the sk_buff structure.  If a transport layer sets this flag
on a packet, the transmit queue can be changed for the socket.
Presumably, the transport would set this if there was no possbility
of creating OOO packets (for instance, there are no packets in flight
for the socket).  This patch includes the modification in TCP output
for setting this flag.

Eric Dumazet 93aaae2e01 filter: optimize sk_run_filter
Remove pc variable to avoid arithmetic to compute fentry at each filter
instruction. Jumps directly manipulate fentry pointer.

As the last instruction of filter[] is guaranteed to be a RETURN, and
all jumps are before the last instruction, we dont need to check filter
bounds (number of instructions in filter array) at each iteration, so we
remove it from sk_run_filter() params.

On x86_32 remove f_k var introduced in commit 57fe93b374
(filter: make sure filters dont read uninitialized memory)

Note : We could use a CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_{FEW|MANY}_REGISTERS in order to
avoid too many ifdefs in this code.

This helps compiler to use cpu registers to hold fentry and A
accumulator.

On x86_32, this saves 401 bytes, and more important, sk_run_filter()
runs much faster because less register pressure (One less conditional
branch per BPF instruction)
