2015-05-10af_packet / TX_RING not fully non-blocking (w/ MSG_DONTWAIT).Kretschmer, Mathias1-3/+6
This patch fixes an issue where the send(MSG_DONTWAIT) call on a TX_RING is not fully non-blocking in cases where the device's sndBuf is full. We pass nonblock=true to sock_alloc_send_skb() and return any possibly occuring error code (most likely EGAIN) to the caller. As the fast-path stays as it is, we keep the unlikely() around skb == NULL. Signed-off-by: Mathias Kretschmer <mathias.kretschmer@fokus.fraunhofer.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-03-12net: Introduce possible_net_tEric W. Biederman1-3/+1
Having to say > #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS > struct net *net; > #endif in structures is a little bit wordy and a little bit error prone. Instead it is possible to say: > typedef struct { > #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS > struct net *net; > #endif > } possible_net_t; And then in a header say: > possible_net_t net; Which is cleaner and easier to use and easier to test, as the possible_net_t is always there no matter what the compile options. Further this allows read_pnet and write_pnet to be functions in all cases which is better at catching typos. This change adds possible_net_t, updates the definitions of read_pnet and write_pnet, updates optional struct net * variables that write_pnet uses on to have the type possible_net_t, and finally fixes up the b0rked users of read_pnet and write_pnet.

2015-03-09net: delete stale packet_mclist entriesFrancesco Ruggeri1-8/+14
When an interface is deleted from a net namespace the ifindex in the corresponding entries in PF_PACKET sockets' mclists becomes stale. This can create inconsistencies if later an interface with the same ifindex is moved from a different namespace (not that unlikely since ifindexes are per-namespace). In particular we saw problems with dev->promiscuity, resulting in "promiscuity touches roof, set promiscuity failed. promiscuity feature of device might be broken" warnings and EOVERFLOW failures of setsockopt(PACKET_ADD_MEMBERSHIP). This patch deletes the mclist entries for interfaces that are deleted. Since this now causes setsockopt(PACKET_DROP_MEMBERSHIP) to fail with EADDRNOTAVAIL if called after the interface is deleted, also make packet_mc_drop not fail.

2015-02-24af_packet: don't pass empty blocks for PACKET_V3Alexander Drozdov1-1/+9
Before da413eec729d ("packet: Fixed TPACKET V3 to signal poll when block is closed rather than every packet") poll listening for an af_packet socket was not signaled if there was no packets to process. After the patch poll is signaled evety time when block retire timer expires. That happens because af_packet closes the current block on timeout even if the block is empty. Passing empty blocks to the user not only wastes CPU but also wastes ring buffer space increasing probability of packets dropping on small timeouts.

2015-01-18netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() voidJohannes Berg1-1/+2
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.

2014-12-22packet: Fixed TPACKET V3 to signal poll when block is closed rather than every packetDan Collins1-4/+7
Make TPACKET_V3 signal poll when block is closed rather than for every packet. Side effect is that poll will be signaled when block retire timer expires which didn't previously happen. Issue was visible when sending packets at a very low frequency such that all blocks are retired before packets are received by TPACKET_V3. This caused avoidable packet loss. The fix ensures that the signal is sent when blocks are closed which covers the normal path where the block is filled as well as the path where the timer expires. The case where a block is filled without moving to the next block (ie. all blocks are full) will still cause poll to be signaled.

2014-04-11net: Fix use after free by removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks.David S. Miller1-3/+3
Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like: skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb); sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len); But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it can be consumed and freed up. So this skb->len access is potentially to freed up memory. Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is possible that the value isn't accurate. And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses the length argument. And since nobody actually cared about it's value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and even '1'. So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get fixed as a side effect.

Therefore, rather use HARD_TX_{UN,}LOCK API, so that NETIF_F_LLTX will be respected. trafgen mmap/TX_RING example against dummy device with config foo: { fill(0xff, 64) } results in the following performance improvements for such scenarios on an ordinary Core i7/2.80GHz: Before: Performance counter stats for 'trafgen -i foo -o du0 -n100000000' (10 runs): 160,975,944,159 instructions:k # 0.55 insns per cycle ( +- 0.09% ) 293,319,390,278 cycles:k # 0.000 GHz ( +- 0.35% ) 192,501,104 branch-misses:k ( +- 1.63% ) 831 context-switches:k ( +- 9.18% ) 7 cpu-migrations:k ( +- 7.40% ) 69,382 cache-misses:k # 0.010 % of all cache refs ( +- 2.18% ) 671,552,021 cache-references:k ( +- 1.29% ) 22.856401569 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.33% ) After: Performance counter stats for 'trafgen -i foo -o du0 -n100000000' (10 runs): 133,788,739,692 instructions:k # 0.92 insns per cycle ( +- 0.06% ) 145,853,213,256 cycles:k # 0.000 GHz ( +- 0.17% ) 59,867,100 branch-misses:k ( +- 4.72% ) 384 context-switches:k ( +- 3.76% ) 6 cpu-migrations:k ( +- 6.28% ) 70,304 cache-misses:k # 0.077 % of all cache refs ( +- 1.73% ) 90,879,408 cache-references:k ( +- 1.35% ) 11.719372413 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.24% ) Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Cc: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-03-26net: Rename skb->rxhash to skb->hashTom Herbert1-2/+1
The packet hash can be considered a property of the packet, not just on RX path. This patch changes name of rxhash and l4_rxhash skbuff fields to be hash and l4_hash respectively. This includes changing uses of the field in the code which don't call the access functions.

2014-02-28packet: allow to transmit +4 byte in TX_RING slot for VLAN caseDaniel Borkmann1-3/+13
Commit 57f89bfa2140 ("network: Allow af_packet to transmit +4 bytes for VLAN packets.") added the possibility for non-mmaped frames to send extra 4 byte for VLAN header so the MTU increases from 1500 to 1504 byte, for example. Commit cbd89acb9eb2 ("af_packet: fix for sending VLAN frames via packet_mmap") attempted to fix that for the mmap part but was reverted as it caused regressions while using eth_type_trans() on output path. Lets just act analogous to 57f89bfa2140 and add a similar logic to TX_RING. We presume size_max as overcharged with +4 bytes and later on after skb has been built by tpacket_fill_skb() check for ETH_P_8021Q header on packets larger than normal MTU. Can be easily reproduced with a slightly modified trafgen in mmap(2) mode, test cases: { fill(0xff, 12) const16(0x8100) fill(0xff, <1504|1505>) } { fill(0xff, 12) const16(0x0806) fill(0xff, <1500|1501>) } Note that we need to do the test right after tpacket_fill_skb() as sockets can have PACKET_LOSS set where we would not fail but instead just continue to traverse the ring.

2014-02-17packet: check for ndo_select_queue during queue selectionDaniel Borkmann1-3/+21
Mathias reported that on an AMD Geode LX embedded board (ALiX) with ath9k driver PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS, introduced in commit d346a3fae3ff ("packet: introduce PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket option"), triggers a WARN_ON() coming from the driver itself via 066dae93bdf ("ath9k: rework tx queue selection and fix queue stopping/waking"). The reason why this happened is that ndo_select_queue() call is not invoked from direct xmit path i.e. for ieee80211 subsystem that sets queue and TID (similar to 802.1d tag) which is being put into the frame through 802.11e (WMM, QoS). If that is not set, pending frame counter for e.g. ath9k can get messed up. So the WARN_ON() in ath9k is absolutely legitimate. Generally, the hw queue selection in ieee80211 depends on the type of traffic, and priorities are set according to ieee80211_ac_numbers mapping; working in a similar way as DiffServ only on a lower layer, so that the AP can favour frames that have "real-time" requirements like voice or video data frames. Therefore, check for presence of ndo_select_queue() in netdev ops and, if available, invoke it with a fallback handler to __packet_pick_tx_queue(), so that driver such as bnx2x, ixgbe, or mlx4 can still select a hw queue for transmission in relation to the current CPU while e.g. ieee80211 subsystem can make their own choices.

2014-01-22af_packet: Add Queue mapping mode to af_packet fanout operationNeil Horman1-0/+11
This patch adds a queue mapping mode to the fanout operation of af_packet sockets. This allows user space af_packet users to better filter on flows ingressing and egressing via a specific hardware queue, and avoids the potential packet reordering that can occur when FANOUT_CPU is being used and irq affinity varies.

2014-01-21net: introduce reciprocal_scale helper and convert usersDaniel Borkmann1-2/+1
As David Laight suggests, we shouldn't necessarily call this reciprocal_divide() when users didn't requested a reciprocal_value(); lets keep the basic idea and call it reciprocal_scale().

2014-01-21random32: add prandom_u32_max and convert open coded usersDaniel Borkmann1-1/+1
Many functions have open coded a function that returns a random number in range [0,N-1]. Under the assumption that we have a PRNG such as taus113 with being well distributed in [0, ~0U] space, we can implement such a function as uword t = (n*m')>>32, where m' is a random number obtained from PRNG, n the right open interval border and t our resulting random number, with n,m',t in u32 universe. Lets go with Joe and simply call it prandom_u32_max(), although technically we have an right open interval endpoint, but that we have documented. Other users can further be migrated to the new prandom_u32_max() function later on; for now, we need to make sure to migrate reciprocal_divide() users for the reciprocal_divide() follow-up fixup since their function signatures are going to change.
