2018-04-25neighbour: support for NTF_EXT_LEARNED flagRoopa Prabhu1-1/+7
This patch extends NTF_EXT_LEARNED support to the neighbour system. Example use-case: An Ethernet VPN implementation (eg in FRR routing suite) can use this flag to add dynamic reachable external neigh entires learned via control plane. The use of neigh NTF_EXT_LEARNED in this patch is consistent with its use with bridge and vxlan fdb entries. Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2018-04-12net: fix deadlock while clearing neighbor proxy tableWolfgang Bumiller1-10/+18
When coming from ndisc_netdev_event() in net/ipv6/ndisc.c, neigh_ifdown() is called with &nd_tbl, locking this while clearing the proxy neighbor entries when eg. deleting an interface. Calling the table's pndisc_destructor() with the lock still held, however, can cause a deadlock: When a multicast listener is available an IGMP packet of type ICMPV6_MGM_REDUCTION may be sent out. When reaching ip6_finish_output2(), if no neighbor entry for the target address is found, __neigh_create() is called with &nd_tbl, which it'll want to lock. Move the elements into their own list, then unlock the table and perform the destruction. Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199289 Fixes: 6fd6ce2056de ("ipv6: Do not depend on rt->n in ip6_finish_output2().")

2017-11-21treewide: setup_timer() -> timer_setup()Kees Cook1-7/+7
This converts all remaining cases of the old setup_timer() API into using timer_setup(), where the callback argument is the structure already holding the struct timer_list. These should have no behavioral changes, since they just change which pointer is passed into the callback with the same available pointers after conversion. It handles the following examples, in addition to some other variations. Casting from unsigned long: void my_callback(unsigned long data) { struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data; ... } ... setup_timer(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, ptr); and forced object casts: void my_callback(struct something *ptr) { ... } ... setup_timer(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, (unsigned long)ptr); become: void my_callback(struct timer_list *t) { struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer); ... } ... timer_setup(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, 0); Direct function assignments: void my_callback(unsigned long data) { struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data; ... } ... ptr->my_timer.function = my_callback; have a temporary cast added, along with converting the args: void my_callback(struct timer_list *t) { struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer); ... } ... ptr->my_timer.function = (TIMER_FUNC_TYPE)my_callback; And finally, callbacks without a data assignment: void my_callback(unsigned long data) { ... } ... setup_timer(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, 0); have their argument renamed to verify they're unused during conversion: void my_callback(struct timer_list *unused) { ... } ... timer_setup(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, 0); The conversion is done with the following Coccinelle script: spatch --very-quiet --all-includes --include-headers \ -I ./arch/x86/include -I ./arch/x86/include/generated \ -I ./include -I ./arch/x86/include/uapi \ -I ./arch/x86/include/generated/uapi -I ./include/uapi \ -I ./include/generated/uapi --include ./include/linux/kconfig.h \ --dir . \ --cocci-file ~/src/data/timer_setup.cocci @fix_address_of@ expression e;

2017-06-04neigh: Really delete an arp/neigh entry on "ip neigh delete" or "arp -d"Sowmini Varadhan1-11/+49
The command # arp -s 62.2.0.1 a:b:c:d:e:f dev eth2 adds an entry like the following (listed by "arp -an") ? (62.2.0.1) at 0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f [ether] PERM on eth2 but the symmetric deletion command # arp -i eth2 -d 62.2.0.1 does not remove the PERM entry from the table, and instead leaves behind ? (62.2.0.1) at <incomplete> on eth2 The reason is that there is a refcnt of 1 for the arp_tbl itself (neigh_alloc starts off the entry with a refcnt of 1), thus the neigh_release() call from arp_invalidate() will (at best) just decrement the ref to 1, but will never actually free it from the table. To fix this, we need to do something like neigh_forced_gc: if the refcnt is 1 (i.e., on the table's ref), remove the entry from the table and free it. This patch refactors and shares common code between neigh_forced_gc and the newly added neigh_remove_one. A similar issue exists for IPv6 Neighbor Cache entries, and is fixed in a similar manner by this patch.

2017-05-17neighbour: update neigh timestamps iff update is effectiveIhar Hrachyshka1-4/+10
It's a common practice to send gratuitous ARPs after moving an IP address to another device to speed up healing of a service. To fulfill service availability constraints, the timing of network peers updating their caches to point to a new location of an IP address can be particularly important. Sometimes neigh_update calls won't touch neither lladdr nor state, for example if an update arrives in locktime interval. The neigh->updated value is tested by the protocol specific neigh code, which in turn will influence whether NEIGH_UPDATE_F_OVERRIDE gets set in the call to neigh_update() or not. As a result, we may effectively ignore the update request, bailing out of touching the neigh entry, except that we still bump its timestamps inside neigh_update. This may be a problem for updates arriving in quick succession. For example, consider the following scenario: A service is moved to another device with its IP address. The new device sends three gratuitous ARP requests into the network with ~1 seconds interval between them. Just before the first request arrives to one of network peer nodes, its neigh entry for the IP address transitions from STALE to DELAY. This transition, among other things, updates neigh->updated. Once the kernel receives the first gratuitous ARP, it ignores it because its arrival time is inside the locktime interval. The kernel still bumps neigh->updated. Then the second gratuitous ARP request arrives, and it's also ignored because it's still in the (new) locktime interval. Same happens for the third request. The node eventually heals itself (after delay_first_probe_time seconds since the initial transition to DELAY state), but it just wasted some time and require a new ARP request/reply round trip. This unfortunate behaviour both puts more load on the network, as well as reduces service availability. This patch changes neigh_update so that it bumps neigh->updated (as well as neigh->confirmed) only once we are sure that either lladdr or entry state will change). In the scenario described above, it means that the second gratuitous ARP request will actually update the entry lladdr. Ideally, we would update the neigh entry on the very first gratuitous ARP request. The locktime mechanism is designed to ignore ARP updates in a short timeframe after a previous ARP update was honoured by the kernel layer. This would require tracking timestamps for state transitions separately from timestamps when actual updates are received. This would probably involve changes in neighbour struct. Therefore, the patch doesn't tackle the issue of the first gratuitous APR ignored, leaving it for a follow-up. Signed-off-by: Ihar Hrachyshka <ihrachys@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

When setting a neigh related sysctl parameter, we always send a NETEVENT_DELAY_PROBE_TIME_UPDATE netevent. For instance, when executing sysctl net.ipv6.neigh.wlp3s0.retrans_time_ms=2000 a NETEVENT_DELAY_PROBE_TIME_UPDATE netevent is generated. This is caused by commit 2a4501ae18b5 ("neigh: Send a notification when DELAY_PROBE_TIME changes"). According to the commit's description, it was intended to generate such an event when setting the "delay_first_probe_time" sysctl parameter. In order to fix this, only generate this event when actually setting the "delay_first_probe_time" sysctl parameter. This fix should not have any unintended side-effects, because all but one registered netevent callbacks check for other netevent event types (the registered callbacks were obtained by grepping for "register_netevent_notifier"). The only callback that uses the NETEVENT_DELAY_PROBE_TIME_UPDATE event is mlxsw_sp_router_netevent_event() (in drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum_router.c): in case of this event, it only accesses the DELAY_PROBE_TIME of the passed neigh_parms.

2016-07-26net: neigh: disallow transition to NUD_STALE if lladdr is unchanged in neigh_update()He Chunhui1-6/+1
NUD_STALE is used when the caller(e.g. arp_process()) can't guarantee neighbour reachability. If the entry was NUD_VALID and lladdr is unchanged, the entry state should not be changed. Currently the code puts an extra "NUD_CONNECTED" condition. So if old state was NUD_DELAY or NUD_PROBE (they are NUD_VALID but not NUD_CONNECTED), the state can be changed to NUD_STALE. This may cause problem. Because NUD_STALE lladdr doesn't guarantee reachability, when we send traffic, the state will be changed to NUD_DELAY. In normal case, if we get no confirmation (by dst_confirm()), we will change the state to NUD_PROBE and send probe traffic. But now the state may be reset to NUD_STALE again(e.g. by broadcast ARP packets), so the probe traffic will not be sent. This situation may happen again and again, and packets will be sent to an non-reachable lladdr forever. The fix is to remove the "NUD_CONNECTED" condition. After that the "NEIGH_UPDATE_F_WEAK_OVERRIDE" condition (used by IPv6) in that branch will be redundant, so remove it. This change may increase probe traffic, but it's essential since NUD_STALE lladdr is unreliable. To ensure correctness, we prefer to resolve lladdr, when we can't get confirmation, even while remote packets try to set NUD_STALE state.

2016-07-05neigh: Send a notification when DELAY_PROBE_TIME changesIdo Schimmel1-0/+2
When the data plane is offloaded the traffic doesn't go through the networking stack. Therefore, after first resolving a neighbour the NUD state machine will transition it from REACHABLE to STALE until it's finally deleted by the garbage collector. To prevent such situations the offloading driver should notify the NUD state machine on any neighbours that were recently used. The driver's polling interval should be set so that the NUD state machine can function as if the traffic wasn't offloaded. Currently, there are no in-tree drivers that can report confirmation for a neighbour, but only 'used' indication. Therefore, the polling interval should be set according to DELAY_FIRST_PROBE_TIME, as a neighbour will transition from REACHABLE state to DELAY (instead of STALE) if "a packet was sent within the last DELAY_FIRST_PROBE_TIME seconds" (RFC 4861). Send a netevent whenever the DELAY_FIRST_PROBE_TIME changes - either via netlink or sysctl - so that offloading drivers can correctly set their polling interval.

2016-06-29neigh: Explicitly declare RCU-bh read side critical section in neigh_xmit()David Barroso1-1/+5
neigh_xmit() expects to be called inside an RCU-bh read side critical section, and while one of its two current callers gets this right, the other one doesn't. More specifically, neigh_xmit() has two callers, mpls_forward() and mpls_output(), and while both callers call neigh_xmit() under rcu_read_lock(), this provides sufficient protection for neigh_xmit() only in the case of mpls_forward(), as that is always called from softirq context and therefore doesn't need explicit BH protection, while mpls_output() can be called from process context with softirqs enabled. When mpls_output() is called from process context, with softirqs enabled, we can be preempted by a softirq at any time, and RCU-bh considers the completion of a softirq as signaling the end of any pending read-side critical sections, so if we do get a softirq while we are in the part of neigh_xmit() that expects to be run inside an RCU-bh read side critical section, we can end up with an unexpected RCU grace period running right in the middle of that critical section, making things go boom. This patch fixes this impedance mismatch in the callee, by making neigh_xmit() always take rcu_read_{,un}lock_bh() around the code that expects to be treated as an RCU-bh read side critical section, as this seems a safer option than fixing it in the callers.

Callers to neighbour code seem to use net_dbg_ratelimit when the neighbour call fails which means the "base message" is not emitted and the callback suppressed messages from the ratelimiting can end-up juxtaposed with unrelated messages.

2015-01-18netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() voidJohannes Berg1-4/+8
Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb. This makes the very common pattern of if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... } be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do return nlmsg_end(...); and the caller is expected to deal with it. This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very common to write if (my_function(...)) /* error condition */ and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong. Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there. Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did - return nlmsg_end(...); + nlmsg_end(...); + return 0; I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more efficient version. One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time. I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.

When setting base_reachable_time or base_reachable_time_ms on a specific interface through sysctl or netlink, the reachable_time value is not updated. This means that neighbour entries will continue to be updated using the old value until it is recomputed in neigh_period_work (which recomputes the value every 300*HZ). On systems with HZ equal to 1000 for instance, it means 5mins before the change is effective. This patch changes this behavior by recomputing reachable_time after each set on base_reachable_time or base_reachable_time_ms. The new value will become effective the next time the neighbour's timer is triggered. Changes are made in two places: the netlink code for set and the sysctl handling code. For sysctl, I use a proc_handler. The ipv6 network code does provide its own handler but it already refreshes reachable_time correctly so it's not an issue.

Therefore we can just make these tables statically built-in. Cc: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
