2015-07-21dst: Metadata destinationsThomas Graf1-1/+5
Introduces a new dst_metadata which enables to carry per packet metadata between forwarding and processing elements via the skb->dst pointer. The structure is set up to be a union. Thus, each separate type of metadata requires its own dst instance. If demand arises to carry multiple types of metadata concurrently, metadata dst entries can be made stackable. The metadata dst entry is refcnt'ed as expected for now but a non reference counted use is possible if the reference is forced before queueing the skb. In order to allow allocating dsts with variable length, the existing dst_alloc() is split into a dst_alloc() and dst_init() function. The existing dst_init() function to initialize the subsystem is being renamed to dst_subsys_init() to make it clear what is what. The check before ip_route_input() is changed to ignore metadata dsts and drop the dst inside the routing function thus allowing to interpret metadata in a later commit.

DST_METRICS_FORCE_OVERWRITE is added by commit e5fd387ad5b3 ("ipv6: do not overwrite inetpeer metrics prematurely"). Since inetpeer is no longer used for metrics, this bit is also not needed.

2015-02-12xfrm: release dst_orig in case of error in xfrm_lookup()huaibin Wang1-0/+1
dst_orig should be released on error. Function like __xfrm_route_forward() expects that behavior. Since a recent commit, xfrm_lookup() may also be called by xfrm_lookup_route(), which expects the opposite. Let's introduce a new flag (XFRM_LOOKUP_KEEP_DST_REF) to tell what should be done in case of error.

2014-09-16xfrm: Generate queueing routes only from route lookup functionsSteffen Klassert1-0/+1
Currently we genarate a queueing route if we have matching policies but can not resolve the states and the sysctl xfrm_larval_drop is disabled. Here we assume that dst_output() is called to kill the queued packets. Unfortunately this assumption is not true in all cases, so it is possible that these packets leave the system unwanted. We fix this by generating queueing routes only from the route lookup functions, here we can guarantee a call to dst_output() afterwards.

2014-04-15ipv4: add a sock pointer to dst->output() path.Eric Dumazet1-3/+11
In the dst->output() path for ipv4, the code assumes the skb it has to transmit is attached to an inet socket, specifically via ip_mc_output() : The sk_mc_loop() test triggers a WARN_ON() when the provider of the packet is an AF_PACKET socket. The dst->output() method gets an additional 'struct sock *sk' parameter. This needs a cascade of changes so that this parameter can be propagated from vxlan to final consumer.

2014-03-27ipv6: do not overwrite inetpeer metrics prematurelyMichal Kubeček1-2/+9
If an IPv6 host route with metrics exists, an attempt to add a new route for the same target with different metrics fails but rewrites the metrics anyway: 12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 rto_min 1000 12sp0:~ # ip -6 route show fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 fec0::1 dev eth0 metric 1024 rto_min lock 1s 12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 rto_min 1500 RTNETLINK answers: File exists 12sp0:~ # ip -6 route show fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 fec0::1 dev eth0 metric 1024 rto_min lock 1.5s This is caused by all IPv6 host routes using the metrics in their inetpeer (or the shared default). This also holds for the new route created in ip6_route_add() which shares the metrics with the already existing route and thus ip6_route_add() rewrites the metrics even if the new route ends up not being used at all. Another problem is that old metrics in inetpeer can reappear unexpectedly for a new route, e.g. 12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 rto_min 1000 12sp0:~ # ip route del fec0::1 12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 12sp0:~ # ip route change fec0::1 dev eth0 hoplimit 10 12sp0:~ # ip -6 route show fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 fec0::1 dev eth0 metric 1024 hoplimit 10 rto_min lock 1s Resolve the first problem by moving the setting of metrics down into fib6_add_rt2node() to the point we are sure we are inserting the new route into the tree. Second problem is addressed by introducing new flag DST_METRICS_FORCE_OVERWRITE which is set for a new host route in ip6_route_add() and makes ipv6_cow_metrics() always overwrite the metrics in inetpeer (even if they are not "new"); it is reset after that. v5: use a flag in _metrics member rather than one in flags v4: fix a typo making a condition always true (thanks to Hannes Frederic Sowa) v3: rewritten based on David Miller's idea to move setting the metrics (and allocation in non-host case) down to the point we already know the route is to be inserted. Also rebased to net-next as it is quite late in the cycle. Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

In several places 'skb->rxhash = 0' is being done to clear the rxhash value in an skb. This does not clear l4_rxhash which could still be set so that the rxhash wouldn't be recalculated on subsequent call to skb_get_rxhash. This patch adds an explict function to clear all the rxhash related information in the skb properly. skb_clear_hash_if_not_l4 clears the rxhash only if it is not marked as l4_rxhash.

2013-02-06xfrm: Add a state resolution packet queueSteffen Klassert1-0/+1
As the default, we blackhole packets until the key manager resolves the states. This patch implements a packet queue where IPsec packets are queued until the states are resolved. We generate a dummy xfrm bundle, the output routine of the returned route enqueues the packet to a per policy queue and arms a timer that checks for state resolution when dst_output() is called. Once the states are resolved, the packets are sent out of the queue. If the states are not resolved after some time, the queue is flushed. This patch keeps the defaut behaviour to blackhole packets as long as we have no states. To enable the packet queue the sysctl xfrm_larval_drop must be switched off.

2011-08-17rps: Add flag to skb to indicate rxhash is based on L4 tupleTom Herbert1-1/+8
The l4_rxhash flag was added to the skb structure to indicate that the rxhash value was computed over the 4 tuple for the packet which includes the port information in the encapsulated transport packet. This is used by the stack to preserve the rxhash value in __skb_rx_tunnel. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-08-03net: fix NULL dereferences in check_peer_redir()Eric Dumazet1-4/+13
Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir(). It appears commit f39925dbde778 (ipv4: Cache learned redirect information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr dereference. Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can safely use a neighbour. Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir() can be called safely by different cpus in parallel. As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects) Many thanks to Gergely for providing a pretty report pointing to the bug.

2011-07-18net: Add ->neigh_lookup() operation to dst_opsDavid S. Miller1-0/+5
In the future dst entries will be neigh-less. In that environment we need to have an easy transition point for current users of dst->neighbour outside of the packet output fast path. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-07-14net: Embed hh_cache inside of struct neighbour.David S. Miller1-9/+9
Now that there is a one-to-one correspondance between neighbour and hh_cache entries, we no longer need: 1) dynamic allocation 2) attachment to dst->hh 3) refcounting Initialization of the hh_cache entry is indicated by hh_len being non-zero, and such initialization is always done with the neighbour's lock held as a writer.

2011-07-01ipv6: Don't put artificial limit on routing table size.David S. Miller1-0/+1
IPV6, unlike IPV4, doesn't have a routing cache. Routing table entries, as well as clones made in response to route lookup requests, all live in the same table. And all of these things are together collected in the destination cache table for ipv6. This means that routing table entries count against the garbage collection limits, even though such entries cannot ever be reclaimed and are added explicitly by the administrator (rather than being created in response to lookups). Therefore it makes no sense to count ipv6 routing table entries against the GC limits. Add a DST_NOCOUNT destination cache entry flag, and skip the counting if it is set. Use this flag bit in ipv6 when adding routing table entries. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-05-18ipv4: Kill RT_CACHE_DEBUGDavid S. Miller1-7/+0
It's way past it's usefulness. And this gets rid of a bunch of stray ->rt_{dst,src} references. Even the comment documenting the macro was inaccurate (stated default was 1 when it's 0). If reintroduced, it should be done properly, with dynamic debug facilities. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-04-24net: Remove __KERNEL__ cpp checks from include/netDavid S. Miller1-3/+0
These header files are never installed to user consumption, so any __KERNEL__ cpp checks are superfluous. Projects should also not copy these files into their userland utility sources and try to use them there. If they insist on doing so, the onus is on them to sanitize the headers as needed.
