| 2019-04-27 | netlink: make validation more configurable for future strictness |   Johannes Berg | 1 | -1/+2 | |
| We currently have two levels of strict validation: 1) liberal (default) - undefined (type >= max) & NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted - attribute length >= expected accepted - garbage at end of message accepted 2) strict (opt-in) - NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted - attribute length >= expected accepted Split out parsing strictness into four different options: * TRAILING - check that there's no trailing data after parsing attributes (in message or nested) * MAXTYPE - reject attrs > max known type * UNSPEC - reject attributes with NLA_UNSPEC policy entries * STRICT_ATTRS - strictly validate attribute size The default for future things should be *everything*. The current *_strict() is a combination of TRAILING and MAXTYPE, and is renamed to _deprecated_strict(). The current regular parsing has none of this, and is renamed to *_parse_deprecated(). Additionally it allows us to selectively set one of the new flags even on old policies. Notably, the UNSPEC flag could be useful in this case, since it can be arranged (by filling in the policy) to not be an incompatible userspace ABI change, but would then going forward prevent forgetting attribute entries. Similar can apply to the POLICY flag. We end up with the following renames: * nla_parse -> nla_parse_deprecated * nla_parse_strict -> nla_parse_deprecated_strict * nlmsg_parse -> nlmsg_parse_deprecated * nlmsg_parse_strict -> nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict * nla_parse_nested -> nla_parse_nested_deprecated * nla_validate_nested -> nla_validate_nested_deprecated Using spatch, of course: @@ expression TB, MAX, HEAD, LEN, POL, EXT; @@ -nla_parse(TB, MAX, HEAD, LEN, POL, EXT) +nla_parse_deprecated(TB, MAX, HEAD, LEN, POL, EXT) @@ expression NLH, HDRLEN, TB, MAX, POL, EXT; @@ -nlmsg_parse(NLH, HDRLEN, TB, MAX, POL, EXT) +nlmsg_parse_deprecated(NLH, HDRLEN, TB, MAX, POL, EXT) @@ expression NLH, HDRLEN, TB, MAX, POL, EXT; @@ -nlmsg_parse_strict(NLH, HDRLEN, TB, MAX, POL, EXT) +nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict(NLH, HDRLEN, TB, MAX, POL, EXT) @@ expression TB, MAX, NLA, POL, EXT; @@ -nla_parse_nested(TB, MAX, NLA, POL, EXT) +nla_parse_nested_deprecated(TB, MAX, NLA, POL, EXT) @@ expression START, MAX, POL, EXT; @@ -nla_validate_nested(START, MAX, POL, EXT) +nla_validate_nested_deprecated(START, MAX, POL, EXT) @@ expression NLH, HDRLEN, MAX, POL, EXT; @@ -nlmsg_validate(NLH, HDRLEN, MAX, POL, EXT) +nlmsg_validate_deprecated(NLH, HDRLEN, MAX, POL, EXT) For this patch, don't actually add the strict, non-renamed versions yet so that it breaks compile if I get it wrong. Also, while at it, make nla_validate and nla_parse go down to a common __nla_validate_parse() function to avoid code duplication. Ultimately, this allows us to have very strict validation for every new caller of nla_parse()/nlmsg_parse() etc as re-introduced in the next patch, while existing things will continue to work as is. In effect then, this adds fully strict validation for any new command. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> | |||||
| 2019-04-27 | netlink: make nla_nest_start() add NLA_F_NESTED flag |   Michal Kubecek | 1 | -1/+1 | |
| Even if the NLA_F_NESTED flag was introduced more than 11 years ago, most netlink based interfaces (including recently added ones) are still not setting it in kernel generated messages. Without the flag, message parsers not aware of attribute semantics (e.g. wireshark dissector or libmnl's mnl_nlmsg_fprintf()) cannot recognize nested attributes and won't display the structure of their contents. Unfortunately we cannot just add the flag everywhere as there may be userspace applications which check nlattr::nla_type directly rather than through a helper masking out the flags. Therefore the patch renames nla_nest_start() to nla_nest_start_noflag() and introduces nla_nest_start() as a wrapper adding NLA_F_NESTED. The calls which add NLA_F_NESTED manually are rewritten to use nla_nest_start(). Except for changes in include/net/netlink.h, the patch was generated using this semantic patch: @@ expression E1, E2; @@ -nla_nest_start(E1, E2) +nla_nest_start_noflag(E1, E2) @@ expression E1, E2; @@ -nla_nest_start_noflag(E1, E2 | NLA_F_NESTED) +nla_nest_start(E1, E2) Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> Acked-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Acked-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| 2018-11-16 | etf: Drop all expired packets |   Jesus Sanchez-Palencia | 1 | -15/+21 | |
| Currently on dequeue() ETF only drops the first expired packet, which causes a problem if the next packet is already expired. When this happens, the watchdog will be configured with a time in the past, fire straight way and the packet will finally be dropped once the dequeue() function of the qdisc is called again. We can save quite a few cycles and improve the overall behavior of the qdisc if we drop all expired packets if the next packet is expired. This should allow ETF to recover faster from bad situations. But packet drops are still a very serious warning that the requirements imposed on the system aren't reasonable. This was inspired by how the implementation of hrtimers use the rb_tree inside the kernel. Signed-off-by: Jesus Sanchez-Palencia <jesus.s.palencia@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| 2018-11-16 | etf: Use cached rb_root | Jesus Sanchez-Palencia | 1 | -9/+12 | |
| ETF's peek() operation is heavily used so use an rb_root_cached instead and leverage rb_first_cached() which will run in O(1) instead of O(log n). Even if on 'timesortedlist_clear()' we could be using rb_erase(), we choose to use rb_erase_cached(), because if in the future we allow runtime changes to ETF parameters, and need to do a '_clear()', this might cause some hard to debug issues.

| 2018-07-04 | net/sched: Make etf report drops on error_queue | Jesus Sanchez-Palencia | 1 | -2/+33 | |
| Use the socket error queue for reporting dropped packets if the socket has enabled that feature through the SO_TXTIME API. Packets are dropped either on enqueue() if they aren't accepted by the qdisc or on dequeue() if the system misses their deadline. Those are reported as different errors so applications can react accordingly. Userspace can retrieve the errors through the socket error queue and the corresponding cmsg interfaces. A struct sock_extended_err* is used for returning the error data, and the packet's timestamp can be retrieved by adding both ee_data and ee_info fields as e.g.: ((__u64) serr->ee_data << 32) + serr->ee_info This feature is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled by applications. Enabling it can bring some overhead for the Tx cycles of the application. Signed-off-by: Jesus Sanchez-Palencia <jesus.sanchez-palencia@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| 2018-07-04 | net/sched: Add HW offloading capability to ETF | Jesus Sanchez-Palencia | 1 | -1/+70 | |
| Add infra so etf qdisc supports HW offload of time-based transmission. For hw offload, the time sorted list is still used, so packets are dequeued always in order of txtime. Example: $ tc qdisc replace dev enp2s0 parent root handle 100 mqprio num_tc 3 \ map 2 2 1 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 queues 1@0 1@1 2@2 hw 0 $ tc qdisc add dev enp2s0 parent 100:1 etf offload delta 100000 \ clockid CLOCK_REALTIME In this example, the Qdisc will use HW offload for the control of the transmission time through the network adapter. The hrtimer used for packets scheduling inside the qdisc will use the clockid CLOCK_REALTIME as reference and packets leave the Qdisc "delta" (100000) nanoseconds before their transmission time. Because this will be using HW offload and since dynamic clocks are not supported by the hrtimer, the system clock and the PHC clock must be synchronized for this mode to behave as expected.

| 2018-07-04 | net/sched: Introduce the ETF Qdisc |   Vinicius Costa Gomes | 1 | -0/+384 | |
| The ETF (Earliest TxTime First) qdisc uses the information added earlier in this series (the socket option SO_TXTIME and the new role of sk_buff->tstamp) to schedule packets transmission based on absolute time. For some workloads, just bandwidth enforcement is not enough, and precise control of the transmission of packets is necessary. Example: $ tc qdisc replace dev enp2s0 parent root handle 100 mqprio num_tc 3 \ map 2 2 1 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 queues 1@0 1@1 2@2 hw 0 $ tc qdisc add dev enp2s0 parent 100:1 etf delta 100000 \ clockid CLOCK_TAI In this example, the Qdisc will provide SW best-effort for the control of the transmission time to the network adapter, the time stamp in the socket will be in reference to the clockid CLOCK_TAI and packets will leave the qdisc "delta" (100000) nanoseconds before its transmission time. The ETF qdisc will buffer packets sorted by their txtime. It will drop packets on enqueue() if their skbuff clockid does not match the clock reference of the Qdisc. Moreover, on dequeue(), a packet will be dropped if it expires while being enqueued. The qdisc also supports the SO_TXTIME deadline mode. For this mode, it will dequeue a packet as soon as possible and change the skb timestamp to 'now' during etf_dequeue(). Note that both the qdisc's and the SO_TXTIME ABIs allow for a clockid to be configured, but it's been decided that usage of CLOCK_TAI should be enforced until we decide to allow for other clockids to be used. The rationale here is that PTP times are usually in the TAI scale, thus no other clocks should be necessary. For now, the qdisc will return EINVAL if any clocks other than CLOCK_TAI are used.
