2019-07-01loopback: create blackhole net device similar to loopack.Mahesh Bandewar1-9/+67
Create a blackhole net device that can be used for "dead" dst entries instead of loopback device. This blackhole device differs from loopback in few aspects: (a) It's not per-ns. (b) MTU on this device is ETH_MIN_MTU (c) The xmit function is essentially kfree_skb(). and (d) since it's not registered it won't have ifindex. Lower MTU effectively make the device not pass the MTU check during the route check when a dst associated with the skb is dead.

2017-06-07net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.David S. Miller1-2/+2
Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources can occur in one of two different places. Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor(). The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it is safe to perform the freeing. netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast address lists are flushed. netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the netdev references all go away. Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor() almost universally does also a free_netdev(). This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice(). Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice() fails. If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor(). This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same. However, this means that the resources that would normally be released by netdev->destructor() will not be. Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice() fails. Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks. Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev(). netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for free_netdev(). netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice(). Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit() and netdev->priv_destructor(). And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>

2017-02-08net: introduce device min_header_lenWillem de Bruijn1-0/+1
The stack must not pass packets to device drivers that are shorter than the minimum link layer header length. Previously, packet sockets would drop packets smaller than or equal to dev->hard_header_len, but this has false positives. Zero length payload is used over Ethernet. Other link layer protocols support variable length headers. Support for validation of these protocols removed the min length check for all protocols. Introduce an explicit dev->min_header_len parameter and drop all packets below this value. Initially, set it to non-zero only for Ethernet and loopback. Other protocols can follow in a patch to net-next.

2014-10-07net: better IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE supportEric Dumazet1-1/+1
Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets, I found strange dst refcount false sharing. Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal. Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit() before even taking qdisc lock. As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some packet schedulers or classifiers. This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers or qdiscs/classifiers. Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call following helper in their setup instead of the prior : dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE; -> netif_keep_dst(dev); Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers. The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something smarter later.

Drivers are allowed to set NETIF_F_SCTP_CSUM if they have hardware crc32c checksumming support for the SCTP protocol. Currently, NETIF_F_SCTP_CSUM flag is available in igb, ixgbe, i40e/i40evf drivers and for vlan devices. If we don't have NETIF_F_SCTP_CSUM then crc32c is done through CPU instructions, invoked from crypto layer, or if not available as slow-path fallback in software. Currently, loopback device propagates checksum offloading feature flags in dev->features, but is missing SCTP checksum offloading. Therefore, account for NETIF_F_SCTP_CSUM as well.

2013-11-06net: Explicitly initialize u64_stats_sync structures for lockdepJohn Stultz1-0/+6
In order to enable lockdep on seqcount/seqlock structures, we must explicitly initialize any locks. The u64_stats_sync structure, uses a seqcount, and thus we need to introduce a u64_stats_init() function and use it to initialize the structure. This unfortunately adds a lot of fairly trivial initialization code to a number of drivers. But the benefit of ensuring correctness makes this worth while. Because these changes are required for lockdep to be enabled, and the changes are quite trivial, I've not yet split this patch out into 30-some separate patches, as I figured it would be better to get the various maintainers thoughts on how to best merge this change along with the seqcount lockdep enablement.

Ben Greear reported crashes in ip_rcv_finish() on a stress test involving many macvlans. We tracked the bug to a dst use after free. ip_rcv_finish() was calling dst->input() and got garbage for dst->input value. It appears the bug is in loopback driver, lacking a skb_dst_force() before calling netif_rx(). As a result, a non refcounted dst, normally protected by a RCU read_lock section, was escaping this section and could be freed before the packet being processed.

Following set of commands illustrates one such example - a) ip -4 addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev eth1 b) ip -4 rule add from all iif eth1 lookup 250 c) ip -4 route add local 0/0 dev lo proto kernel scope host table 250 d) arp -Ds 192.168.1.100 eth1 e) arp -Ds 192.168.1.200 eth1 f) sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind=1 g) sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_local=1 # Assuming that the machine has 8 cores h) taskset 000f netserver -L 192.168.1.200 i) taskset 00f0 netperf -t TCP_CRR -L 192.168.1.100 -H 192.168.1.200 -l 30 Signed-off-by: Mahesh Bandewar <[email protected]> Acked-by: Ben Hutchings <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-04-17ip6_pol_route panic: Do not allow VLAN on loopbackKrishna Kumar1-1/+2
Several tests in the ipv6 routing code check IFF_LOOPBACK, and allowing stacking such as VLAN'ing on top of loopback results in a netdevice which reports IFF_LOOPBACK but really isn't the loopback device. Instead of spamming the ipv6 routing code with even more special tests, simply disallow VLAN over loopback. The result of this patch is: # modprobe 8021q # vconfig add lo 43 ERROR: trying to add VLAN #43 to IF -:lo:- error: Operation not supported Signed-off-by: Krishna Kumar <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-10-05net: add a core netdev->rx_dropped counterEric Dumazet1-7/+1
In various situations, a device provides a packet to our stack and we drop it before it enters protocol stack : - softnet backlog full (accounted in /proc/net/softnet_stat) - bad vlan tag (not accounted) - unknown/unregistered protocol (not accounted) We can handle a per-device counter of such dropped frames at core level, and automatically adds it to the device provided stats (rx_dropped), so that standard tools can be used (ifconfig, ip link, cat /proc/net/dev) This is a generalization of commit 8990f468a (net: rx_dropped accounting), thus reverting it.

2010-09-26net: loopback driver cleanupEric Dumazet1-15/+5

2010-07-07net: fix 64 bit counters on 32 bit archesEric Dumazet1-2/+2
There is a small possibility that a reader gets incorrect values on 32 bit arches. SNMP applications could catch incorrect counters when a 32bit high part is changed by another stats consumer/provider. One way to solve this is to add a rtnl_link_stats64 param to all ndo_get_stats64() methods, and also add such a parameter to dev_get_stats(). Rule is that we are not allowed to use dev->stats64 as a temporary storage for 64bit stats, but a caller provided area (usually on stack) Old drivers (only providing get_stats() method) need no changes.

Commit 6b10de38f0ef (loopback: Implement 64bit stats on 32bit arches) introduced 64bit stats in loopback driver, using a private seqcount and private helpers. David suggested to introduce a generic infrastructure, added in (net: Introduce u64_stats_sync infrastructure) This patch reimplements loopback 64bit stats using the u64_stats_sync infrastructure.

2010-06-14loopback: Implement 64bit stats on 32bit archesEric Dumazet1-10/+51
Uses a seqcount_t to synchronize stat producer and consumer, for packets and bytes counter, now u64 types. (dropped counter being rarely used, stay a native "unsigned long" type) No noticeable performance impact on x86, as it only adds two increments per frame. It might be more expensive on arches where smp_wmb() is not free. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>

2009-05-18net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()Eric Dumazet1-0/+1
One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb). CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device, since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs. It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions. David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq() (so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit(). List of devices that must clear this flag is : - loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick : "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets already need to have a dst_entry attached." - appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function - And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function (as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.
