<id>urn:sha1:8f34e53b60b337e559f1ea19e2780ff95ab2fa65</id>
<content type='text'>
Nik reported a bug with pcpu dst cache when nexthop objects are
used illustrated by the following:
    $ ip netns add foo
    $ ip -netns foo li set lo up
    $ ip -netns foo addr add 2001:db8:11::1/128 dev lo
    $ ip netns exec foo sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
    $ ip li add veth1 type veth peer name veth2
    $ ip li set veth1 up
    $ ip addr add 2001:db8:10::1/64 dev veth1
    $ ip li set dev veth2 netns foo
    $ ip -netns foo li set veth2 up
    $ ip -netns foo addr add 2001:db8:10::2/64 dev veth2
    $ ip -6 nexthop add id 100 via 2001:db8:10::2 dev veth1
    $ ip -6 route add 2001:db8:11::1/128 nhid 100

    Create a pcpu entry on cpu 0:
    $ taskset -a -c 0 ip -6 route get 2001:db8:11::1

    Re-add the route entry:
    $ ip -6 ro del 2001:db8:11::1
    $ ip -6 route add 2001:db8:11::1/128 nhid 100

    Route get on cpu 0 returns the stale pcpu:
    $ taskset -a -c 0 ip -6 route get 2001:db8:11::1
    RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable

    While cpu 1 works:
    $ taskset -a -c 1 ip -6 route get 2001:db8:11::1
    2001:db8:11::1 from :: via 2001:db8:10::2 dev veth1 src 2001:db8:10::1 metric 1024 pref medium

Conversion of FIB entries to work with external nexthop objects
missed an important difference between IPv4 and IPv6 - how dst
entries are invalidated when the FIB changes. IPv4 has a per-network
namespace generation id (rt_genid) that is bumped on changes to the FIB.
Checking if a dst_entry is still valid means comparing rt_genid in the
rtable to the current value of rt_genid for the namespace.

IPv6 also has a per network namespace counter, fib6_sernum, but the
count is saved per fib6_node. With the per-node counter only dst_entries
based on fib entries under the node are invalidated when changes are
made to the routes - limiting the scope of invalidations. IPv6 uses a
reference in the rt6_info, 'from', to track the corresponding fib entry
used to create the dst_entry. When validating a dst_entry, the 'from'
is used to backtrack to the fib6_node and check the sernum of it to the
cookie passed to the dst_check operation.

With the inline format (nexthop definition inline with the fib6_info),
dst_entries cached in the fib6_nh have a 1:1 correlation between fib
entries, nexthop data and dst_entries. With external nexthops, IPv6
looks more like IPv4 which means multiple fib entries across disparate
fib6_nodes can all reference the same fib6_nh. That means validation
of dst_entries based on external nexthops needs to use the IPv4 format
- the per-network namespace counter.

Add sernum to rt6_info and set it when creating a pcpu dst entry. Update
rt6_get_cookie to return sernum if it is set and update dst_check for
IPv6 to look for sernum set and based the check on it if so. Finally,
rt6_get_pcpu_route needs to validate the cached entry before returning
a pcpu entry (similar to the rt_cache_valid calls in __mkroute_input and
__mkroute_output for IPv4).

This problem only affects routes using the new, external nexthops.

Thanks to the kbuild test robot for catching the IS_ENABLED needed
around rt_genid_ipv6 before I sent this out.

<title>net: ip6_fib: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6e68f499e93429e521af40cb25129f27c6c80a10</id>
<content type='text'>
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

<id>urn:sha1:bb3c4ab93e44784c1e958bdbba7824bba40f23cd</id>
<content type='text'>
In a similar fashion to previous patch, add "offload" and "trap"
indication to IPv6 routes.

This is done by using two unused bits in 'struct fib6_info' to hold
these indications. Capable drivers are expected to set these when
processing the various in-kernel route notifications.

<content type='text'>
For the purpose of route offload, when a single route is deleted, it is
only of interest if it is the first route in the node or if it is
sibling to such a route.

In the first case, distinguish between several possibilities:

1. Route is the last route in the node. Emit a delete notification

2. Route is followed by a non-multipath route. Emit a replace
notification for the non-multipath route.

3. Route is followed by a multipath route. Emit a replace notification
for the multipath route.

In the second case, only emit a delete notification to ensure the route
is no longer used as a valid nexthop.

Use a per namespace counter, increment it on successful creation
of any route using the source address, decrement it on deletion
of such routes.

This allows us to check easily if the routing decision in the
current namespace depends on the packet source. Will be used
by the next patch.

Currently all users of FIB notifier only cares about events in init_net.
Later in this patchset, users get interested in other namespaces too.
However, for every registered block user is interested only about one
namespace. Make the FIB notifier registration per-netns and avoid
unnecessary calls of notifier block for other namespaces.

<title>ipv6: Dump route exceptions if requested</title>
<updated>2019-06-24T17:18:49Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Stefano Brivio</name>
<email>sbrivio@redhat.com</email>
</author>
<published>2019-06-21T15:45:27Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-linux/commit/?id=1e47b4837f3bdaa425727cfe09f5ae3b6c4c41a9'/>
<id>urn:sha1:1e47b4837f3bdaa425727cfe09f5ae3b6c4c41a9</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 2b760fcf5cfb ("ipv6: hook up exception table to store dst
cache"), route exceptions reside in a separate hash table, and won't be
found by walking the FIB, so they won't be dumped to userspace on a
RTM_GETROUTE message.

This causes 'ip -6 route list cache' and 'ip -6 route flush cache' to
have no function anymore:

 # ip -6 route get fc00:3::1
 fc00:3::1 via fc00:1::2 dev veth_A-R1 src fc00:1::1 metric 1024 expires 539sec mtu 1400 pref medium
 # ip -6 route get fc00:4::1
 fc00:4::1 via fc00:2::2 dev veth_A-R2 src fc00:2::1 metric 1024 expires 536sec mtu 1500 pref medium
 # ip -6 route list cache
 # ip -6 route flush cache
 # ip -6 route get fc00:3::1
 fc00:3::1 via fc00:1::2 dev veth_A-R1 src fc00:1::1 metric 1024 expires 520sec mtu 1400 pref medium
 # ip -6 route get fc00:4::1
 fc00:4::1 via fc00:2::2 dev veth_A-R2 src fc00:2::1 metric 1024 expires 519sec mtu 1500 pref medium

because iproute2 lists cached routes using RTM_GETROUTE, and flushes them
by listing all the routes, and deleting them with RTM_DELROUTE one by one.

If cached routes are requested using the RTM_F_CLONED flag together with
strict checking, or if no strict checking is requested (and hence we can't
consistently apply filters), look up exceptions in the hash table
associated with the current fib6_info in rt6_dump_route(), and, if present
and not expired, add them to the dump.

We might be unable to dump all the entries for a given node in a single
message, so keep track of how many entries were handled for the current
node in fib6_walker, and skip that amount in case we start from the same
partially dumped node.

When a partial dump restarts, as the starting node might change when
'sernum' changes, we have no guarantee that we need to skip the same
amount of in-node entries. Therefore, we need two counters, and we need to
zero the in-node counter if the node from which the dump is resumed
differs.

Note that, with the current version of iproute2, this only fixes the
'ip -6 route list cache': on a flush command, iproute2 doesn't pass
RTM_F_CLONED and, due to this inconsistency, 'ip -6 route flush cache' is
still unable to fetch the routes to be flushed. This will be addressed in
a patch for iproute2.

To flush cached routes, a procfs entry could be introduced instead: that's
how it works for IPv4. We already have a rt6_flush_exception() function
ready to be wired to it. However, this would not solve the issue for
listing.

 fix     flush       +        +        +                             +

v7:
  - Explain usage of "skip" counters in commit message (suggested by
    David Ahern)

v6:
  - Rebase onto net-next, use recently introduced nexthop walker
  - Make rt6_nh_dump_exceptions() a separate function (suggested by David
    Ahern)

v5:
  - Use dump_routes and dump_exceptions from filter, ignore NLM_F_MATCH,
    update test results (flushing works with iproute2 &lt; 5.0.0 now)

v4:
  - Split NLM_F_MATCH and strict check handling in separate patches
  - Filter routes using RTM_F_CLONED: if it's not set, only return
    non-cached routes, and if it's set, only return cached routes:
    change requested by David Ahern and Martin Lau. This implies that
    iproute2 needs a separate patch to be able to flush IPv6 cached
    routes. This is not ideal because we can't fix the breakage caused
    by 2b760fcf5cfb entirely in kernel. However, two years have passed
    since then, and this makes it more tolerable

v3:
  - More descriptive comment about expired exceptions in rt6_dump_route()
  - Swap return values of rt6_dump_route() (suggested by Martin Lau)
  - Don't zero skip_in_node in case we don't dump anything in a given pass
    (also suggested by Martin Lau)
  - Remove check on RTM_F_CLONED altogether: in the current UAPI semantic,
    it's just a flag to indicate the route was cloned, not to filter on
    routes

v2: Add tracking of number of entries to be skipped in current node after
    a partial dump. As we restart from the same node, if not all the
    exceptions for a given node fit in a single message, the dump will
    not terminate, as suggested by Martin Lau. This is a concrete
    possibility, setting up a big number of exceptions for the same route
    actually causes the issue, suggested by David Ahern.
