2018-08-03netfilter: use kvmalloc_array to allocate memory for hashtableLi RongQing
nf_ct_alloc_hashtable is used to allocate memory for conntrack, NAT bysrc and expectation hashtable. Assuming 64k bucket size, which means 7th order page allocation, __get_free_pages, called by nf_ct_alloc_hashtable, will trigger the direct memory reclaim and stall for a long time, when system has lots of memory stress so replace combination of __get_free_pages and vzalloc with kvmalloc_array, which provides a overflow check and a fallback if no high order memory is available, and do not retry to reclaim memory, reduce stall and remove nf_ct_free_hashtable, since it is just a kvfree Signed-off-by: Zhang Yu <zhangyu31@baidu.com> Signed-off-by: Wang Li <wangli39@baidu.com> Signed-off-by: Li RongQing <lirongqing@baidu.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

2018-08-03bpf/test_run: support cgroup local storageRoman Gushchin
Allocate a temporary cgroup storage to use for bpf program test runs. Because the test program is not actually attached to a cgroup, the storage is allocated manually just for the execution of the bpf program. If the program is executed multiple times, the storage is not zeroed on each run, emulating multiple runs of the program, attached to a real cgroup.

2018-08-03bpf: introduce the bpf_get_local_storage() helper functionRoman Gushchin
The bpf_get_local_storage() helper function is used to get a pointer to the bpf local storage from a bpf program. It takes a pointer to a storage map and flags as arguments. Right now it accepts only cgroup storage maps, and flags argument has to be 0. Further it can be extended to support other types of local storage: e.g. thread local storage etc. Signed-off-by: Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com> Cc: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Cc: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Acked-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>

2018-08-02libceph: add authorizer challengeIlya Dryomov
When a client authenticates with a service, an authorizer is sent with a nonce to the service (ceph_x_authorize_[ab]) and the service responds with a mutation of that nonce (ceph_x_authorize_reply). This lets the client verify the service is who it says it is but it doesn't protect against a replay: someone can trivially capture the exchange and reuse the same authorizer to authenticate themselves. Allow the service to reject an initial authorizer with a random challenge (ceph_x_authorize_challenge). The client then has to respond with an updated authorizer proving they are able to decrypt the service's challenge and that the new authorizer was produced for this specific connection instance. The accepting side requires this challenge and response unconditionally if the client side advertises they have CEPHX_V2 feature bit. This addresses CVE-2018-1128.

The most significant points are: (1) Display the call timeout information in /proc/net/rxrpc/calls. (2) Save the call's debug_id in the rxrpc_channel struct so that it can be used in traces after the rxrpc_call struct has been destroyed. (3) Increase the size of the kAFS Rx window from 32 to 63 to be about the same as the Auristor server. (4) Propose the terminal ACK for a client call after it has received all its data to be transmitted after a short interval so that it will get transmitted if not first superseded by a new call on the same channel. (5) Flush ACKs during the data reception if we detect that we've run out of data.[*] (6) Trace successful packet transmission and softirq to process context socket notification. [*] Note that on a uncontended gigabit network, rxrpc runs in to trouble with ACK packets getting batched together (up to ~32 at a time) somewhere between the IP transmit queue on the client and the ethernet receive queue on the server. I can see the kernel afs filesystem client and Auristor userspace server stalling occasionally on a 512MB single read. Sticking tracepoints in the network driver at either end seems to show that, although the ACK transmissions made by the client are reasonably spaced timewise, the received ACKs come in batches from the network card on the server. I'm not sure what, if anything, can be done about this. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

After IPv4 packets are forwarded, the priority of the corresponding SKB is updated according to the TOS field of IPv4 header. This overrides any prioritization done earlier by e.g. an skbedit action or ingress-qos-map defined at a vlan device. Such overriding may not always be desirable. Even if the packet ends up being routed, which implies this is an L3 network node, an administrator may wish to preserve whatever prioritization was done earlier on in the pipeline. Therefore introduce a sysctl that controls this behavior. Keep the default value at 1 to maintain backward-compatible behavior.

2018-08-01rxrpc: Transmit more ACKs during data receptionDavid Howells
Immediately flush any outstanding ACK on entry to rxrpc_recvmsg_data() - which transfers data to the target buffers - if we previously had an Rx underrun (ie. we returned -EAGAIN because we ran out of received data). This lets the server know what we've managed to receive something. Also flush any outstanding ACK after calling the function if it hit -EAGAIN to let the server know we processed some data. It might be better to send more ACKs, possibly on a time-based scheme, but that needs some more consideration. With this and some additional AFS patches, it is possible to get large unencrypted O_DIRECT reads to be almost as fast as NFS over TCP. It looks like it might be theoretically possible to improve performance yet more for a server running a single operation as investigation of packet timestamps indicates that the server keeps stalling. The issue appears to be that rxrpc runs in to trouble with ACK packets getting batched together (up to ~32 at a time) somewhere between the IP transmit queue on the client and the ethernet receive queue on the server. However, this case isn't too much of a worry as even a lightly loaded server should be receiving sufficient packet flux to flush the ACK packets to the UDP socket.

2018-08-01rxrpc: Propose, but don't immediately transmit, the final ACK for a callDavid Howells
The final ACK that closes out an rxrpc call needs to be transmitted by the client unless we're going to follow up with a DATA packet for a new call on the same channel (which implicitly ACK's the previous call, thereby saving an ACK). Currently, we don't do that, so if no follow on call is immediately forthcoming, the server will resend the last DATA packet - at which point rxrpc_conn_retransmit_call() will be triggered and will (re)send the final ACK. But the server has to hold on to the last packet until the ACK is received, thereby holding up its resources. Fix the client side to propose a delayed final ACK, to be transmitted after a short delay, assuming the call isn't superseded by a new one. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
