Up until commit 46e6b992c250 ("rtnetlink: allow GSO maximums to
be set on device creation") the gso_max_segs and gso_max_size
of a device were not controlled from user space.
The quoted commit added the ability to control them because of
the following setup:
netns A | netns B
veth<->veth eth0
If eth0 has TSO limitations and user wants to efficiently forward
traffic between eth0 and the veths they should copy the TSO
limitations of eth0 onto the veths. This would happen automatically
for macvlans or ipvlan but veth users are not so lucky (given the
loose coupling).
Unfortunately the commit in question allowed users to also override
the limits on real HW devices.
It may be useful to control the max GSO size and someone may be using
that ability (not that I know of any user), so create a separate set
of knobs to reliably record the TSO limitations. Validate the user
requests.

To make later patches smaller create a helper for inheriting
the TSO limitations of a lower device. The TSO in the name
is not an accident, subsequent patches will replace GSO
with TSO in more names.

Most drivers should not have to worry about selecting the right
weight for their NAPI instances and pass NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT.
It'd be best if we didn't require the argument at all and selected
the default internally.
This change prepares the ground for such reshuffling, allowing
for a smooth transition. The following API should remain after
the next release cycle:
netif_napi_add()
netif_napi_add_weight()
netif_napi_add_tx()
netif_napi_add_tx_weight()
Where the _weight() variants take an explicit weight argument.
I opted for a _weight() suffix rather than a __ prefix, because
we use __ in places to mean that caller needs to also issue a
synchronize_net() call.

The macro dev_core_stats_##FIELD##_inc() disables preemption and invokes
netdev_core_stats_alloc() to return a per-CPU pointer.
netdev_core_stats_alloc() will allocate memory on its first invocation
which breaks on PREEMPT_RT because it requires non-atomic context for
memory allocation.
This can be avoided by enabling preemption in netdev_core_stats_alloc()
assuming the caller always disables preemption.
It might be better to replace local_inc() with this_cpu_inc() now that
dev_core_stats_##FIELD##_inc() gained a preempt-disable section and does
not rely on already disabled preemption. This results in less
instructions on x86-64:
local_inc:

Use unsigned long as type for the counter. Use this_cpu_inc() to
increment the counter. Use a plain read of the counter.

Logic added in commit f35f821935d8 ("tcp: defer skb freeing after socket
lock is released") helped bulk TCP flows to move the cost of skbs
frees outside of critical section where socket lock was held.
But for RPC traffic, or hosts with RFS enabled, the solution is far from
being ideal.
For RPC traffic, recvmsg() has to return to user space right after
skb payload has been consumed, meaning that BH handler has no chance
to pick the skb before recvmsg() thread. This issue is more visible
with BIG TCP, as more RPC fit one skb.
For RFS, even if BH handler picks the skbs, they are still picked
from the cpu on which user thread is running.
Ideally, it is better to free the skbs (and associated page frags)
on the cpu that originally allocated them.
This patch removes the per socket anchor (sk->defer_list) and
instead uses a per-cpu list, which will hold more skbs per round.
This new per-cpu list is drained at the end of net_action_rx(),
after incoming packets have been processed, to lower latencies.
In normal conditions, skbs are added to the per-cpu list with
no further action. In the (unlikely) cases where the cpu does not
run net_action_rx() handler fast enough, we use an IPI to raise
NET_RX_SOFTIRQ on the remote cpu.
Also, we do not bother draining the per-cpu list from dev_cpu_dead()
This is because skbs in this list have no requirement on how fast
they should be freed.
Note that we can add in the future a small per-cpu cache
if we see any contention on sd->defer_lock.
Tested on a pair of hosts with 100Gbit NIC, RFS enabled,
and /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rmem[2] tuned to 16MB to work around
page recycling strategy used by NIC driver (its page pool capacity
being too small compared to number of skbs/pages held in sockets
receive queues)
Note that this tuning was only done to demonstrate worse
conditions for skb freeing for this particular test.
These conditions can happen in more general production workload.

This patch fixes issue:
* If we install tc filters with act_skbedit in clsact hook.
It doesn't work, because netdev_core_pick_tx() overwrites
queue_mapping.
$ tc filter ... action skbedit queue_mapping 1
And this patch is useful:
* We can use FQ + EDT to implement efficient policies. Tx queues
are picked by xps, ndo_select_queue of netdev driver, or skb hash
in netdev_core_pick_tx(). In fact, the netdev driver, and skb
hash are _not_ under control. xps uses the CPUs map to select Tx
queues, but we can't figure out which task_struct of pod/containter
running on this cpu in most case. We can use clsact filters to classify
one pod/container traffic to one Tx queue. Why ?
In containter networking environment, there are two kinds of pod/
containter/net-namespace. One kind (e.g. P1, P2), the high throughput
is key in these applications. But avoid running out of network resource,
the outbound traffic of these pods is limited, using or sharing one
dedicated Tx queues assigned HTB/TBF/FQ Qdisc. Other kind of pods
(e.g. Pn), the low latency of data access is key. And the traffic is not
limited. Pods use or share other dedicated Tx queues assigned FIFO Qdisc.
This choice provides two benefits. First, contention on the HTB/FQ Qdisc
lock is significantly reduced since fewer CPUs contend for the same queue.
More importantly, Qdisc contention can be eliminated completely if each
CPU has its own FIFO Qdisc for the second kind of pods.
There must be a mechanism in place to support classifying traffic based on
pods/container to different Tx queues. Note that clsact is outside of Qdisc
while Qdisc can run a classifier to select a sub-queue under the lock.
In general recording the decision in the skb seems a little heavy handed.
This patch introduces a per-CPU variable, suggested by Eric.
The xmit.skip_txqueue flag is firstly cleared in __dev_queue_xmit().
- Tx Qdisc may install that skbedit actions, then xmit.skip_txqueue flag
is set in qdisc->enqueue() though tx queue has been selected in
netdev_tx_queue_mapping() or netdev_core_pick_tx(). That flag is cleared
firstly in __dev_queue_xmit(), is useful:
- Avoid picking Tx queue with netdev_tx_queue_mapping() in next netdev
in such case: eth0 macvlan - eth0.3 vlan - eth0 ixgbe-phy:
For example, eth0, macvlan in pod, which root Qdisc install skbedit
queue_mapping, send packets to eth0.3, vlan in host. In __dev_queue_xmit() of
eth0.3, clear the flag, does not select tx queue according to skb->queue_mapping
because there is no filters in clsact or tx Qdisc of this netdev.
Same action taked in eth0, ixgbe in Host.
- Avoid picking Tx queue for next packet. If we set xmit.skip_txqueue
in tx Qdisc (qdisc->enqueue()), the proper way to clear it is clearing it
in __dev_queue_xmit when processing next packets.
For performance reasons, use the static key. If user does not config the NET_EGRESS,
the patch will not be compiled.

Increment rx_otherhost_dropped counter when packet dropped due to
mismatched dest MAC addr.
An example when this drop can occur is when manually crafting raw
packets that will be consumed by a user space application via a tap
device. For testing purposes local traffic was generated using trafgen
for the client and netcat to start a server
Tested: Created 2 netns, sent 1 packet using trafgen from 1 to the other
with "{eth(daddr=$INCORRECT_MAC...}", verified that iproute2 showed the
counter was incremented. (Also had to modify iproute2 to show the stat,
additional patch for that coming next.)

There's a number of functions and static variables used
under net/core/ but not from the outside. We currently
dump most of them into netdevice.h. That bad for many
reasons:
- netdevice.h is very cluttered, hard to figure out
what the APIs are;
- netdevice.h is very long;
- we have to touch netdevice.h more which causes expensive
incremental builds.
Create a header under net/core/ and move some declarations.
The new header is also a bit of a catch-all but that's
fine, if we create more specific headers people will
likely over-think where their declaration fit best.
And end up putting them in netdevice.h, again.
More work should be done on splitting netdevice.h into more
targeted headers, but that'd be more time consuming so small
steps.

In [1], Will raised a potential issue that the cfg80211 code,
which does (from a locking perspective)
rtnl_lock()
wiphy_lock()
rtnl_unlock()
might be suspectible to ABBA deadlocks, because rtnl_unlock()
calls netdev_run_todo(), which might end up calling rtnl_lock()
again, which could then deadlock (see the comment in the code
added here for the scenario).
Some back and forth and thinking ensued, but clearly this can't
happen if the net_todo_list is empty at the rtnl_unlock() here.
Clearly, the code here cannot actually put an entry on it, and
all other users of rtnl_unlock() will empty it since that will
always go through netdev_run_todo(), emptying the list.
So the only other way to get there would be to add to the list
and then unlock the RTNL without going through rtnl_unlock(),
which is only possible through __rtnl_unlock(). However, this
isn't exported and not used in many places, and none of them
seem to be able to unregister before using it.
Therefore, add a WARN_ON() in the code to ensure this invariant
won't be broken, so that the cfg80211 (or any similar) code
stays safe.

Network drivers can call to netif_get_num_default_rss_queues to get the
default number of receive queues to use. Right now, this default number
is min(8, num_online_cpus()).
Instead, as suggested by Jakub, use the number of physical cores divided
by 2 as a way to avoid wasting CPU resources and to avoid using both CPU
threads, but still allowing to scale for high-end processors with many
cores.
As an exception, select 2 queues for processors with 2 cores, because
otherwise it won't take any advantage of RSS despite being SMP capable.
Tested: Processor Intel Xeon E5-2620 (2 sockets, 6 cores/socket, 2
threads/core). NIC Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM57810 (10GBps). Ran some
tests with `perf stat iperf3 -R`, with parallelisms of 1, 8 and 24,
getting the following results:
- Number of queues: 6 (instead of 8)
- Network throughput: not affected
- CPU usage: utilized 0.05-0.12 CPUs more than before (having 24 CPUs
this is only 0.2-0.5% higher)
- Reduced the number of context switches by 7-50%, being more noticeable
when using a higher number of parallel threads.

Before adding yet another possibly contended atomic_long_t,
it is time to add per-cpu storage for existing ones:
dev->tx_dropped, dev->rx_dropped, and dev->rx_nohandler
Because many devices do not have to increment such counters,
allocate the per-cpu storage on demand, so that dev_get_stats()
does not have to spend considerable time folding zero counters.
Note that some drivers have abused these counters which
were supposed to be only used by core networking stack.

push the inner packet to the segmentation handlers.
However, skb_mac_gso_segment takes the Ethernet Protocol
ID from 'skb->protocol' which is wrong for inter address
family tunnels. We fix this by introducing a new
skb_eth_gso_segment function.
This function can be used if it is necessary to pass the
Ethernet Protocol ID directly to the segmentation handler.
First users of this function will be the esp4 and esp6
tunnel segmentation handlers.

Offloading switch device drivers may be able to collect statistics of the
traffic taking place in the HW datapath that pertains to a certain soft
netdevice, such as VLAN. Add the necessary infrastructure to allow exposing
these statistics to the offloaded netdevice in question. The API was shaped
by the following considerations:
- Collection of HW statistics is not free: there may be a finite number of
counters, and the act of counting may have a performance impact. It is
therefore necessary to allow toggling whether HW counting should be done
for any particular SW netdevice.
- As the drivers are loaded and removed, a particular device may get
offloaded and unoffloaded again. At the same time, the statistics values
need to stay monotonic (modulo the eventual 64-bit wraparound),
increasing only to reflect traffic measured in the device.
To that end, the netdevice keeps around a lazily-allocated copy of struct
rtnl_link_stats64. Device drivers then contribute to the values kept
therein at various points. Even as the driver goes away, the struct stays
around to maintain the statistics values.
- Different HW devices may be able to count different things. The
motivation behind this patch in particular is exposure of HW counters on
Nvidia Spectrum switches, where the only practical approach to counting
traffic on offloaded soft netdevices currently is to use router interface
counters, and count L3 traffic. Correspondingly that is the statistics
suite added in this patch.
Other devices may be able to measure different kinds of traffic, and for
that reason, the APIs are built to allow uniform access to different
statistics suites.
- Because soft netdevices and offloading drivers are only loosely bound, a
netdevice uses a notifier chain to communicate with the drivers. Several
new notifiers, NETDEV_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_*, have been added to carry messages
to the offloading drivers.
- Devices can have various conditions for when a particular counter is
available. As the device is configured and reconfigured, the device
offload may become or cease being suitable for counter binding. A
netdevice can use a notifier type NETDEV_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_REPORT_USED to
ping offloading drivers and determine whether anyone currently implements
a given statistics suite. This information can then be propagated to user
space.
When the driver decides to unoffload a netdevice, it can use a
newly-added function, netdev_offload_xstats_report_delta(), to record
outstanding collected statistics, before destroying the HW counter.
This patch adds a helper, call_netdevice_notifiers_info_robust(), for
dispatching a notifier with the possibility of unwind when one of the
consumers bails. Given the wish to eventually get rid of the global
notifier block altogether, this helper only invokes the per-netns notifier
block.

drop_monitor is using an unique list on which all netdevices in
the host have an element, regardless of their netns.
This scales poorly, not only at device unregister time (what I
caught during my netns dismantle stress tests), but also at packet
processing time whenever trace_napi_poll_hit() is called.
If the intent was to avoid adding one pointer in 'struct net_device'
then surely we prefer O(1) behavior.

Dave suggested a while ago (eleven years by now) "Let's make netif_rx()
work in all contexts and get rid of netif_rx_ni()". Eric agreed and
pointed out that modern devices should use netif_receive_skb() to avoid
the overhead.
In the meantime someone added another variant, netif_rx_any_context(),
which behaves as suggested.
netif_rx() must be invoked with disabled bottom halves to ensure that
pending softirqs, which were raised within the function, are handled.
netif_rx_ni() can be invoked only from process context (bottom halves
must be enabled) because the function handles pending softirqs without
checking if bottom halves were disabled or not.
netif_rx_any_context() invokes on the former functions by checking
in_interrupts().
netif_rx() could be taught to handle both cases (disabled and enabled
bottom halves) by simply disabling bottom halves while invoking
netif_rx_internal(). The local_bh_enable() invocation will then invoke
pending softirqs only if the BH-disable counter drops to zero.
Eric is concerned about the overhead of BH-disable+enable especially in
regard to the loopback driver. As critical as this driver is, it will
receive a shortcut to avoid the additional overhead which is not needed.
Add a local_bh_disable() section in netif_rx() to ensure softirqs are
handled if needed.
Provide __netif_rx() which does not disable BH and has a lockdep assert
to ensure that interrupts are disabled. Use this shortcut in the
loopback driver and in drivers/net/*.c.
Make netif_rx_ni() and netif_rx_any_context() invoke netif_rx() so they
can be removed once they are no more users left.

We are still chasing some syzbot reports where we think a rogue dev_put()
is called with no corresponding prior dev_hold().
Unfortunately it eats a reference on dev->dev_refcnt taken by innocent
dev_hold_track(), meaning that the refcount saturation splat comes
too late to be useful.
Make sure that 'not tracked' dev_put() and dev_hold() better use
CONFIG_NET_DEV_REFCNT_TRACKER=y debug infrastructure:
Prior patch in the series allowed ref_tracker_alloc() and ref_tracker_free()
to be called with a NULL @trackerp parameter, and to use a separate refcount
only to detect too many put() even in the following case:
dev_hold_track(dev, tracker_1, GFP_ATOMIC);
dev_hold(dev);
dev_put(dev);
dev_put(dev); // Should complain loudly here.
dev_put_track(dev, tracker_1); // instead of here
Add clarification about netdev_tracker_alloc() role.
v2: I replaced the dev_put() in linkwatch_do_dev()
with __dev_put() because callers called netdev_tracker_free().

In one net namespace, after creating a packet socket without binding
it to a device, users in other net namespaces can observe the new
`packet_type` added by this packet socket by reading `/proc/net/ptype`
file. This is minor information leakage as packet socket is
namespace aware.
Add a net pointer in `packet_type` to keep the net namespace of
of corresponding packet socket. In `ptype_seq_show`, this net pointer
must be checked when it is not NULL.

Eric Dumazet suggested to allow users to modify max GRO packet size.
We have seen GRO being disabled by users of appliances (such as
wifi access points) because of claimed bufferbloat issues,
or some work arounds in sch_cake, to split GRO/GSO packets.
Instead of disabling GRO completely, one can chose to limit
the maximum packet size of GRO packets, depending on their
latency constraints.
This patch adds a per device gro_max_size attribute
that can be changed with ip link command.

We have 100+ syzbot reports about netns being dismantled too soon,
still unresolved as of today.
We think a missing get_net() or an extra put_net() is the root cause.
In order to find the bug(s), and be able to spot future ones,
this patch adds CONFIG_NET_NS_REFCNT_TRACKER and new helpers
to precisely pair all put_net() with corresponding get_net().
To use these helpers, each data structure owning a refcount
should also use a "netns_tracker" to pair the get and put.

net device are refcounted. Over the years we had numerous bugs
caused by imbalanced dev_hold() and dev_put() calls.
The general idea is to be able to precisely pair each decrement with
a corresponding prior increment. Both share a cookie, basically
a pointer to private data storing stack traces.
This patch adds dev_hold_track() and dev_put_track().
To use these helpers, each data structure owning a refcount
should also use a "netdevice_tracker" to pair the hold and put.
netdevice_tracker dev_tracker;
...
dev_hold_track(dev, &dev_tracker, GFP_ATOMIC);
...
dev_put_track(dev, &dev_tracker);
Whenever a leak happens, we will get precise stack traces
of the point dev_hold_track() happened, at device dismantle phase.
We will also get a stack trace if too many dev_put_track() for the same
netdevice_tracker are attempted.
This is guarded by CONFIG_NET_DEV_REFCNT_TRACKER option.

.ndo_change_proto_down was added seemingly to enable out-of-tree
implementations. Over 2.5yrs later we still have no real users
upstream. Hardwire the generic implementation for now, we can
revert once real users materialize. (rocker is a test vehicle,
not a user.)
We need to drop the optimization on the sysfs side, because
unlike ndos priv_flags will be changed at runtime, so we'd
need READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE everywhere..

dev->gso_max_segs is written under RTNL protection, or when the device is
not yet visible, but is read locklessly.
Add netif_set_gso_max_segs() helper.
Add the READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() pairs, and use netif_set_gso_max_segs()
where we can to better document what is going on.

netdev->dev_addr should only be modified via helpers,
but someone may be casting off the const. Add a runtime
check to catch abuses.
