Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for your net-next
tree. Most relevantly, updates for the nfnetlink_log to integrate with
conntrack, fixes for cttimeout and improvements for nf_queue core, they are:
1) Remove useless ifdef around static inline function in IPVS, from
Eric W. Biederman.
2) Simplify the conntrack support for nfnetlink_queue: Merge
nfnetlink_queue_ct.c file into nfnetlink_queue_core.c, then rename it back
to nfnetlink_queue.c
3) Use y2038 safe timestamp from nfnetlink_queue.
4) Get rid of dead function definition in nf_conntrack, from Flavio
Leitner.
5) Attach conntrack support for nfnetlink_log.c, from Ken-ichirou MATSUZAWA.
This adds a new NETFILTER_NETLINK_GLUE_CT Kconfig switch that
controls enabling both nfqueue and nflog integration with conntrack.
The userspace application can request this via NFULNL_CFG_F_CONNTRACK
configuration flag.
6) Remove unused netns variables in IPVS, from Eric W. Biederman and
Simon Horman.
7) Don't put back the refcount on the cttimeout object from xt_CT on success.
8) Fix crash on cttimeout policy object removal. We have to flush out
the cttimeout extension area of the conntrack not to refer to an unexisting
object that was just removed.
9) Make sure rcu_callback completion before removing nfnetlink_cttimeout
module removal.
10) Fix compilation warning in br_netfilter when no nf_defrag_ipv4 and
nf_defrag_ipv6 are enabled. Patch from Arnd Bergmann.
11) Autoload ctnetlink dependencies when NFULNL_CFG_F_CONNTRACK is
requested. Again from Ken-ichirou MATSUZAWA.
12) Don't use pointer to previous hook when reinjecting traffic via
nf_queue with NF_REPEAT verdict since it may be already gone. This
also avoids a deadloop if the userspace application keeps returning
NF_REPEAT.
13) A bunch of cleanups for netfilter IPv4 and IPv6 code from Ian Morris.
14) Consolidate logger instance existence check in nfulnl_recv_config().
15) Fix broken atomicity when applying configuration updates to logger
instances in nfnetlink_log.
16) Get rid of the .owner attribute in our hook object. We don't need
this anymore since we're dropping pending packets that have escaped
from the kernel when unremoving the hook. Patch from Florian Westphal.
17) Remove unnecessary rcu_read_lock() from nf_reinject code, we always
assume RCU read side lock from .call_rcu in nfnetlink. Also from Florian.
18) Use static inline function instead of macros to define NF_HOOK() and
NF_HOOK_COND() when no netfilter support in on, from Arnd Bergmann.

The can subsystem communicates with user space using a bcm_msg_head
header, which contains two timestamps. This is problematic for
multiple reasons:
a) The structure layout is currently incompatible between 64-bit
user space and 32-bit user space, and cannot work in compat
mode (other than x32).
b) The timeval structure layout will change in 32-bit user
space when we fix the y2038 overflow problem by redefining
time_t to 64-bit, making new 32-bit user space incompatible
with the current kernel interface.
Cars last a long time and often use old kernels, so the actual
users of this code are the most likely ones to migrate to y2038
safe user space.
This tries to work around part of the problem by changing the
publicly visible user interface in the header, but not the binary
interface. Fortunately, the values passed around in the structure
are relative times and do not actually suffer from the y2038
overflow, so 32-bit is enough here.
We replace the use of 'struct timeval' with a newly defined
'struct bcm_timeval' that uses the exact same binary layout
as before and that still suffers from problem a) but not problem
b).
The downside of this approach is that any user space program
that currently assigns a timeval structure to these members
rather than writing the tv_sec/tv_usec portions individually
will suffer a compile-time error when built with an updated
kernel header. Fixing this error makes it work fine with old
and new headers though.
We could address problem a) by using '__u32' or 'int' members
rather than 'long', but that would have a more significant
downside in also breaking support for all existing 64-bit user
binaries that might be using this interface, which is likely
not acceptable.

The zatm_t_hist structure is not used anywhere in the kernel, but is
exported to user space. As we are trying to eliminate uses of time_t
in the kernel for y2038 compatibility, the current definition triggers
checking tools because it contains 'struct timeval'.
As pointed out by Chas Williams, the only user of this structure was
the ZATM_GETHIST ioctl command that has been removed a long time ago,
and we can remove the structure as well without breaking any user

Using routing realms as part of the classifier is quite useful, it
can be viewed as a tag for one or multiple routing entries (think of
an analogy to net_cls cgroup for processes), set by user space routing
daemons or via iproute2 as an indicator for traffic classifiers and
later on processed in the eBPF program.
Unlike actions, the classifier can inspect device flags and enable
netif_keep_dst() if necessary. tc actions don't have that possibility,
but in case people know what they are doing, it can be used from there
as well (e.g. via devs that must keep dsts by design anyway).
If a realm is set, the handler returns the non-zero realm. User space
can set the full 32bit realm for the dst.

So trying to build the userfaultfd test program from the selftests

This patch changes the bridge vlan implementation to use rhashtables
instead of bitmaps. The main motivation behind this change is that we
need extensible per-vlan structures (both per-port and global) so more
advanced features can be introduced and the vlan support can be
extended. I've tried to break this up but the moment net_port_vlans is
changed and the whole API goes away, thus this is a larger patch.
A few short goals of this patch are:
- Extensible per-vlan structs stored in rhashtables and a sorted list
- Keep user-visible behaviour (compressed vlans etc)
- Keep fastpath ingress/egress logic the same (optimizations to come
later)
Here's a brief list of some of the new features we'd like to introduce:
- per-vlan counters
- vlan ingress/egress mapping
- per-vlan igmp configuration
- vlan priorities
- avoid fdb entries replication (e.g. local fdb scaling issues)
The structure is kept single for both global and per-port entries so to
avoid code duplication where possible and also because we'll soon introduce
"port0 / aka bridge as port" which should simplify things further
(thanks to Vlad for the suggestion!).
Now we have per-vlan global rhashtable (bridge-wide) and per-vlan port
rhashtable, if an entry is added to a port it'll get a pointer to its
global context so it can be quickly accessed later. There's also a
sorted vlan list which is used for stable walks and some user-visible
behaviour such as the vlan ranges, also for error paths.
VLANs are stored in a "vlan group" which currently contains the
rhashtable, sorted vlan list and the number of "real" vlan entries.
A good side-effect of this change is that it resembles how hw keeps
per-vlan data.
One important note after this change is that if a VLAN is being looked up
in the bridge's rhashtable for filtering purposes (or to check if it's an
existing usable entry, not just a global context) then the new helper
br_vlan_should_use() needs to be used if the vlan is found. In case the
lookup is done only with a port's vlan group, then this check can be
skipped.
Things tested so far:
- basic vlan ingress/egress
- pvids
- untagged vlans
- undef CONFIG_BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING
- adding/deleting vlans in different scenarios (with/without global ctx,
while transmitting traffic, in ranges etc)
- loading/removing the module while having/adding/deleting vlans
- extracting bridge vlan information (user ABI), compressed requests
- adding/deleting fdbs on vlans
- bridge mac change, promisc mode
- default pvid change
- kmemleak ON during the whole time

lwtunnel: remove source and destination UDP port config option
...
The UDP tunnel config is asymmetric wrt. to the ports used. The source and
destination ports from one direction of the tunnel are not related to the
ports of the other direction. We need to be able to respond to ARP requests
using the correct ports without involving routing.
As the consequence, UDP ports need to be fixed property of the tunnel
interface and cannot be set per route. Remove the ability to set ports per
route. This is still okay to do, as no kernel has been released with these
attributes yet.
Note that the ability to specify source and destination ports is preserved
for other users of the lwtunnel API which don't use routes for tunnel key
specification (like openvswitch).
If in the future we rework ARP handling to allow port specification, the
attributes can be added back.

Existing bpf_clone_redirect() helper clones skb before redirecting
it to RX or TX of destination netdev.
Introduce bpf_redirect() helper that does that without cloning.
Benchmarked with two hosts using 10G ixgbe NICs.
One host is doing line rate pktgen.
Another host is configured as:
$ tc qdisc add dev $dev ingress
$ tc filter add dev $dev root pref 10 u32 match u32 0 0 flowid 1:2 \
action bpf run object-file tcbpf1_kern.o section clone_redirect_xmit drop
so it receives the packet on $dev and immediately xmits it on $dev + 1
The section 'clone_redirect_xmit' in tcbpf1_kern.o file has the program
that does bpf_clone_redirect() and performance is 2.0 Mpps
$ tc filter add dev $dev root pref 10 u32 match u32 0 0 flowid 1:2 \
action bpf run object-file tcbpf1_kern.o section redirect_xmit drop
which is using bpf_redirect() - 2.4 Mpps
and using cls_bpf with integrated actions as:
$ tc filter add dev $dev root pref 10 \
bpf run object-file tcbpf1_kern.o section redirect_xmit integ_act classid 1
performance is 2.5 Mpps
To summarize:
u32+act_bpf using clone_redirect - 2.0 Mpps
u32+act_bpf using redirect - 2.4 Mpps
cls_bpf using redirect - 2.5 Mpps
For comparison linux bridge in this setup is doing 2.1 Mpps
and ixgbe rx + drop in ip_rcv - 7.8 Mpps

from rtnl_fill_ifinfo().

scaling, so it is desirable to avoid this if the information is
not needed.
