2012-07-26ipv4: Fix input route performance regression.David S. Miller1-2/+17
With the routing cache removal we lost the "noref" code paths on input, and this can kill some routing workloads. Reinstate the noref path when we hit a cached route in the FIB nexthops. With help from Eric Dumazet. Reported-by: Alexander Duyck <alexander.duyck@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-07-23ipv4: Change rt->rt_iif encoding.David S. Miller1-1/+5
On input packet processing, rt->rt_iif will be zero if we should use skb->dev->ifindex. Since we access rt->rt_iif consistently via inet_iif(), that is the only spot whose interpretation have to adjust. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-07-20ipv4: Kill rt->fiDavid S. Miller1-1/+0
It's not really needed. We only grabbed a reference to the fib_info for the sake of fib_info local metrics. However, fib_info objects are freed using RCU, as are therefore their private metrics (if any). We would have triggered a route cache flush if we eliminated a reference to a fib_info object in the routing tables. Therefore, any existing cached routes will first check and see that they have been invalidated before an errant reference to these metric values would occur. Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-07-20ipv4: Turn rt->rt_route_iif into rt->rt_is_input.David S. Miller1-3/+3
That is this value's only use, as a boolean to indicate whether a route is an input route or not. So implement it that way, using a u16 gap present in the struct already. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-07-20ipv4: Kill rt->rt_oifDavid S. Miller1-1/+0
Never actually used. It was being set on output routes to the original OIF specified in the flow key used for the lookup. Adjust the only user, ipmr_rt_fib_lookup(), for greater correctness of the flowi4_oif and flowi4_iif values, thanks to feedback from Julian Anastasov. Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-07-20ipv4: Adjust semantics of rt->rt_gateway.David S. Miller1-0/+7
In order to allow prefixed routes, we have to adjust how rt_gateway is set and interpreted. The new interpretation is: 1) rt_gateway == 0, destination is on-link, nexthop is iph->daddr 2) rt_gateway != 0, destination requires a nexthop gateway Abstract the fetching of the proper nexthop value using a new inline helper, rt_nexthop(), as suggested by Joe Perches.

2012-07-20ipv4: Kill ip_route_input_noref().David Miller1-14/+2
The "noref" argument to ip_route_input_common() is now always ignored because we do not cache routes, and in that case we must always grab a reference to the resulting 'dst'. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-07-20ipv4: Delete routing cache.David S. Miller1-1/+0
The ipv4 routing cache is non-deterministic, performance wise, and is subject to reasonably easy to launch denial of service attacks. The routing cache works great for well behaved traffic, and the world was a much friendlier place when the tradeoffs that led to the routing cache's design were considered. What it boils down to is that the performance of the routing cache is a product of the traffic patterns seen by a system rather than being a product of the contents of the routing tables. The former of which is controllable by external entitites. Even for "well behaved" legitimate traffic, high volume sites can see hit rates in the routing cache of only ~%10. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2012-06-27Revert "ipv4: tcp: dont cache unconfirmed intput dst"David S. Miller1-4/+4
This reverts commit c074da2810c118b3812f32d6754bd9ead2f169e7. This change has several unwanted side effects: 1) Sockets will cache the DST_NOCACHE route in sk->sk_rx_dst and we'll thus never create a real cached route. 2) All TCP traffic will use DST_NOCACHE and never use the routing cache at all.

2012-06-27ipv4: tcp: dont cache unconfirmed intput dstEric Dumazet1-4/+4
DDOS synflood attacks hit badly IP route cache. On typical machines, this cache is allowed to hold up to 8 Millions dst entries, 256 bytes for each, for a total of 2GB of memory. rt_garbage_collect() triggers and tries to cleanup things. Eventually route cache is disabled but machine is under fire and might OOM and crash. This patch exploits the new TCP early demux, to set a nocache boolean in case incoming TCP frame is for a not yet ESTABLISHED or TIMEWAIT socket. This 'nocache' boolean is then used in case dst entry is not found in route cache, to create an unhashed dst entry (DST_NOCACHE) SYN-cookie-ACK sent use a similar mechanism (ipv4: tcp: dont cache output dst for syncookies), so after this patch, a machine is able to absorb a DDOS synflood attack without polluting its IP route cache.

2012-06-14ipv4: Handle PMTU in all ICMP error handlers.David S. Miller1-1/+4
With ip_rt_frag_needed() removed, we have to explicitly update PMTU information in every ICMP error handler. Create two helper functions to facilitate this. 1) ipv4_sk_update_pmtu() This updates the PMTU when we have a socket context to work with. 2) ipv4_update_pmtu() Raw version, used when no socket context is available. For this interface, we essentially just pass in explicit arguments for the flow identity information we would have extracted from the socket. And you'll notice that ipv4_sk_update_pmtu() is simply implemented in terms of ipv4_update_pmtu() Note that __ip_route_output_key() is used, rather than something like ip_route_output_flow() or ip_route_output_key(). This is because we absolutely do not want to end up with a route that does IPSEC encapsulation and the like. Instead, we only want the route that would get us to the node described by the outermost IP header. Reported-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-06-11inet: Fix BUG triggered by __rt{,6}_get_peer().David S. Miller1-1/+1

2012-06-11ipv4: Kill ip_rt_frag_needed().David S. Miller1-2/+0
There is zero point to this function. It's only real substance is to perform an extremely outdated BSD4.2 ICMP check, which we can safely remove. If you really have a MTU limited link being routed by a BSD4.2 derived system, here's a nickel go buy yourself a real router. The other actions of ip_rt_frag_needed(), checking and conditionally updating the peer, are done by the per-protocol handlers of the ICMP event. TCP, UDP, et al. have a handler which will receive this event and transmit it back into the associated route via dst_ops->update_pmtu(). This simplification is important, because it eliminates the one place where we do not have a proper route context in which to make an inetpeer lookup. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-06-11inet: Hide route peer accesses behind helpers.David S. Miller1-4/+38
We encode the pointer(s) into an unsigned long with one state bit. The state bit is used so we can store the inetpeer tree root to use when resolving the peer later. Later the peer roots will be per-FIB table, and this change works to facilitate that. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2012-02-04ipv4: reset flowi parameters on route connectJulian Anastasov1-0/+4
Eric Dumazet found that commit 813b3b5db83 (ipv4: Use caller's on-stack flowi as-is in output route lookups.) that comes in 3.0 added a regression. The problem appears to be that resulting flowi4_oif is used incorrectly as input parameter to some routing lookups. The result is that when connecting to local port without listener if the IP address that is used is not on a loopback interface we incorrectly assign RTN_UNICAST to the output route because no route is matched by oif=lo. The RST packet can not be sent immediately by tcp_v4_send_reset because it expects RTN_LOCAL. So, change ip_route_connect and ip_route_newports to update the flowi4 fields that are input parameters because we do not want unnecessary binding to oif. To make it clear what are the input parameters that can be modified during lookup and to show which fields of floiw4 are reused add a new function to update the flowi4 structure: flowi4_update_output. Thanks to Yurij M. Plotnikov for providing a bug report including a program to reproduce the problem.

2011-04-27ipv4: Sanitize and simplify ip_route_{connect,newports}()David S. Miller1-32/+56
These functions are used together as a unit for route resolution during connect(). They address the chicken-and-egg problem that exists when ports need to be allocated during connect() processing, yet such port allocations require addressing information from the routing code. It's currently more heavy handed than it needs to be, and in particular we allocate and initialize a flow object twice. Let the callers provide the on-stack flow object. That way we only need to initialize it once in the ip_route_connect() call. Later, if ip_route_newports() needs to do anything, it re-uses that flow object as-is except for the ports which it updates before the route re-lookup. Also, describe why this set of facilities are needed and how it works in a big comment. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>

2011-03-22ipv4: fix route deletion for IPs on many subnetsJulian Anastasov1-0/+1
Alex Sidorenko reported for problems with local routes left after IP addresses are deleted. It happens when same IPs are used in more than one subnet for the device. Fix fib_del_ifaddr to restrict the checks for duplicate local and broadcast addresses only to the IFAs that use our primary IFA or another primary IFA with same address. And we expect the prefsrc to be matched when the routes are deleted because it is possible they to differ only by prefsrc. This patch prevents local and broadcast routes to be leaked until their primary IP is deleted finally from the box. As the secondary address promotion needs to delete the routes for all secondaries that used the old primary IFA, add option to ignore these secondaries from the checks and to assume they are already deleted, so that we can safely delete the route while these IFAs are still on the device list.
