2017-09-19ipv6: fix net.ipv6.conf.all interface DAD handlersMatteo Croce
Currently, writing into net.ipv6.conf.all.{accept_dad,use_optimistic,optimistic_dad} has no effect. Fix handling of these flags by: - using the maximum of global and per-interface values for the accept_dad flag. That is, if at least one of the two values is non-zero, enable DAD on the interface. If at least one value is set to 2, enable DAD and disable IPv6 operation on the interface if MAC-based link-local address was found - using the logical OR of global and per-interface values for the optimistic_dad flag. If at least one of them is set to one, optimistic duplicate address detection (RFC 4429) is enabled on the interface - using the logical OR of global and per-interface values for the use_optimistic flag. If at least one of them is set to one, optimistic addresses won't be marked as deprecated during source address selection on the interface. While at it, as we're modifying the prototype for ipv6_use_optimistic_addr(), drop inline, and let the compiler decide.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next tree. Basically, updates to the conntrack core, enhancements for nf_tables, conversion of netfilter hooks from linked list to array to improve memory locality and asorted improvements for the Netfilter codebase. More specifically, they are: 1) Add expection to hashes after timer initialization to prevent access from another CPU that walks on the hashes and calls del_timer(), from Florian Westphal. 2) Don't update nf_tables chain counters from hot path, this is only used by the x_tables compatibility layer. 3) Get rid of nested rcu_read_lock() calls from netfilter hook path. Hooks are always guaranteed to run from rcu read side, so remove nested rcu_read_lock() where possible. Patch from Taehee Yoo. 4) nf_tables new ruleset generation notifications include PID and name of the process that has updated the ruleset, from Phil Sutter. 5) Use skb_header_pointer() from nft_fib, so we can reuse this code from the nf_family netdev family. Patch from Pablo M. Bermudo. 6) Add support for nft_fib in nf_tables netdev family, also from Pablo. 7) Use deferrable workqueue for conntrack garbage collection, to reduce power consumption, from Patch from Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan. 8) Add nf_ct_expect_iterate_net() helper and use it. From Florian Westphal. 9) Call nf_ct_unconfirmed_destroy only from cttimeout, from Florian. 10) Drop references on conntrack removal path when skbuffs has escaped via nfqueue, from Florian. 11) Don't queue packets to nfqueue with dying conntrack, from Florian. 12) Constify nf_hook_ops structure, from Florian. 13) Remove neededlessly branch in nf_tables trace code, from Phil Sutter. 14) Add nla_strdup(), from Phil Sutter. 15) Rise nf_tables objects name size up to 255 chars, people want to use DNS names, so increase this according to what RFC 1035 specifies. Patch series from Phil Sutter. 16) Kill nf_conntrack_default_on, it's broken. Default on conntrack hook registration on demand, suggested by Eric Dumazet, patch from Florian. 17) Remove unused variables in compat_copy_entry_from_user both in ip_tables and arp_tables code. Patch from Taehee Yoo. 18) Constify struct nf_conntrack_l4proto, from Julia Lawall. 19) Constify nf_loginfo structure, also from Julia. 20) Use a single rb root in connlimit, from Taehee Yoo. 21) Remove unused netfilter_queue_init() prototype, from Taehee Yoo. 22) Use audit_log() instead of open-coding it, from Geliang Tang. 23) Allow to mangle tcp options via nft_exthdr, from Florian. 24) Allow to fetch TCP MSS from nft_rt, from Florian. This includes a fix for a miscalculation of the minimal length. 25) Simplify branch logic in h323 helper, from Nick Desaulniers. 26) Calculate netlink attribute size for conntrack tuple at compile time, from Florian. 27) Remove protocol name field from nf_conntrack_{l3,l4}proto structure. From Florian. 28) Remove holes in nf_conntrack_l4proto structure, so it becomes smaller. From Florian. 29) Get rid of print_tuple() indirection for /proc conntrack listing. Place all the code in net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_standalone.c. Patch from Florian. 30) Do not built in print_conntrack() if CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_PROCFS is off. From Florian. 31) Constify most nf_conntrack_{l3,l4}proto helper functions, from Florian. 32) Fix broken indentation in ebtables extensions, from Colin Ian King. 33) Fix several harmless sparse warning, from Florian. 34) Convert netfilter hook infrastructure to use array for better memory locality, joint work done by Florian and Aaron Conole. Moreover, add some instrumentation to debug this. 35) Batch nf_unregister_net_hooks() calls, to call synchronize_net once per batch, from Florian. 36) Get rid of noisy logging in ICMPv6 conntrack helper, from Florian. 37) Get rid of obsolete NFDEBUG() instrumentation, from Varsha Rao. 38) Remove unused code in the generic protocol tracker, from Davide Caratti.

2017-08-29neigh: increase queue_len_bytes to match wmem_defaultEric Dumazet
Florian reported UDP xmit drops that could be root caused to the too small neigh limit. Current limit is 64 KB, meaning that even a single UDP socket would hit it, since its default sk_sndbuf comes from net.core.wmem_default (~212992 bytes on 64bit arches). Once ARP/ND resolution is in progress, we should allow a little more packets to be queued, at least for one producer. Once neigh arp_queue is filled, a rogue socket should hit its sk_sndbuf limit and either block in sendmsg() or return -EAGAIN.

2017-08-29rxrpc: Allow failed client calls to be retriedDavid Howells
Allow a client call that failed on network error to be retried, provided that the Tx queue still holds DATA packet 1. This allows an operation to be submitted to another server or another address for the same server without having to repackage and re-encrypt the data so far processed. Two new functions are provided: (1) rxrpc_kernel_check_call() - This is used to find out the completion state of a call to guess whether it can be retried and whether it should be retried. (2) rxrpc_kernel_retry_call() - Disconnect the call from its current connection, reset the state and submit it as a new client call to a new address. The new address need not match the previous address. A call may be retried even if all the data hasn't been loaded into it yet; a partially constructed will be retained at the same point it was at when an error condition was detected. msg_data_left() can be used to find out how much data was packaged before the error occurred.

2017-08-29rxrpc: Add notification of end-of-Tx phaseDavid Howells
Add a callback to rxrpc_kernel_send_data() so that a kernel service can get a notification that the AF_RXRPC call has transitioned out the Tx phase and is now waiting for a reply or a final ACK. This is called from AF_RXRPC with the call state lock held so the notification is guaranteed to come before any reply is passed back. Further, modify the AFS filesystem to make use of this so that we don't have to change the afs_call state before sending the last bit of data. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

2017-08-24strparser: initialize all callbacksEric Biggers
commit bbb03029a899 ("strparser: Generalize strparser") added more function pointers to 'struct strp_callbacks'; however, kcm_attach() was not updated to initialize them. This could cause the ->lock() and/or ->unlock() function pointers to be set to garbage values, causing a crash in strp_work(). Fix the bug by moving the callback structs into static memory, so unspecified members are zeroed. Also constify them while we're at it. This bug was found by syzkaller, which encountered the following splat: IP: 0x55 PGD 3b1ca067 P4D 3b1ca067 PUD 3b12f067 PMD 0 Oops: 0010 [#1] SMP KASAN Dumping ftrace buffer: (ftrace buffer empty) Modules linked in: CPU: 2 PID: 1194 Comm: kworker/u8:1 Not tainted 4.13.0-rc4-next-20170811 #2 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 Workqueue: kstrp strp_work task: ffff88006bb0e480 task.stack: ffff88006bb10000 RIP: 0010:0x55 RSP: 0018:ffff88006bb17540 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: ffff88006ce4bd60 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 1ffff1000d9c97bd RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff88006ce4bc48 RBP: ffff88006bb17558 R08: ffffffff81467ab2 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: ffff88006bb17438 R11: ffff88006bb17940 R12: ffff88006ce4bc48 R13: ffff88003c683018 R14: ffff88006bb17980 R15: ffff88003c683000 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88006de00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000055 CR3: 000000003c145000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: process_one_work+0xbf3/0x1bc0 kernel/workqueue.c:2098 worker_thread+0x223/0x1860 kernel/workqueue.c:2233 kthread+0x35e/0x430 kernel/kthread.c:231 ret_from_fork+0x2a/0x40 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:431 Code: Bad RIP value.

2017-08-24ipv6: Add sysctl for per namespace flow label reflectionJakub Sitnicki
Reflecting IPv6 Flow Label at server nodes is useful in environments that employ multipath routing to load balance the requests. As "IPv6 Flow Label Reflection" standard draft [1] points out - ICMPv6 PTB error messages generated in response to a downstream packets from the server can be routed by a load balancer back to the original server without looking at transport headers, if the server applies the flow label reflection. This enables the Path MTU Discovery past the ECMP router in load-balance or anycast environments where each server node is reachable by only one path. Introduce a sysctl to enable flow label reflection per net namespace for all newly created sockets. Same could be earlier achieved only per socket by setting the IPV6_FL_F_REFLECT flag for the IPV6_FLOWLABEL_MGR socket option.

2017-08-09bpf: add BPF_J{LT,LE,SLT,SLE} instructionsDaniel Borkmann
Currently, eBPF only understands BPF_JGT (>), BPF_JGE (>=), BPF_JSGT (s>), BPF_JSGE (s>=) instructions, this means that particularly *JLT/*JLE counterparts involving immediates need to be rewritten from e.g. X < [IMM] by swapping arguments into [IMM] > X, meaning the immediate first is required to be loaded into a register Y := [IMM], such that then we can compare with Y > X. Note that the destination operand is always required to be a register. This has the downside of having unnecessarily increased register pressure, meaning complex program would need to spill other registers temporarily to stack in order to obtain an unused register for the [IMM]. Loading to registers will thus also affect state pruning since we need to account for that register use and potentially those registers that had to be spilled/filled again. As a consequence slightly more stack space might have been used due to spilling, and BPF programs are a bit longer due to extra code involving the register load and potentially required spill/fills. Thus, add BPF_JLT (<), BPF_JLE (<=), BPF_JSLT (s<), BPF_JSLE (s<=) counterparts to the eBPF instruction set. Modifying LLVM to remove the NegateCC() workaround in a PoC patch at [1] and allowing it to also emit the new instructions resulted in cilium's BPF programs that are injected into the fast-path to have a reduced program length in the range of 2-3% (e.g. accumulated main and tail call sections from one of the object file reduced from 4864 to 4729 insns), reduced complexity in the range of 10-30% (e.g. accumulated sections reduced in one of the cases from 116432 to 88428 insns), and reduced stack usage in the range of 1-5% (e.g. accumulated sections from one of the object files reduced from 824 to 784b). The modification for LLVM will be incorporated in a backwards compatible way. Plan is for LLVM to have i) a target specific option to offer a possibility to explicitly enable the extension by the user (as we have with -m target specific extensions today for various CPU insns), and ii) have the kernel checked for presence of the extensions and enable them transparently when the user is selecting more aggressive options such as -march=native in a bpf target context. (Other frontends generating BPF byte code, e.g. ply can probe the kernel directly for its code generation.)

Discussion during NFWS 2017 in Faro has shown that the current conntrack behaviour is unreasonable. Even if conntrack module is loaded on behalf of a single net namespace, its turned on for all namespaces, which is expensive. Commit 481fa373476 ("netfilter: conntrack: add nf_conntrack_default_on sysctl") attempted to provide an alternative to the 'default on' behaviour by adding a sysctl to change it. However, as Eric points out, the sysctl only becomes available once the module is loaded, and then its too late. So we either have to move the sysctl to the core, or, alternatively, change conntrack to become active only once the rule set requires this. This does the latter, conntrack is only enabled when a rule needs it.

2017-06-07rxrpc: Provide a cmsg to specify the amount of Tx data for a callDavid Howells
Provide a control message that can be specified on the first sendmsg() of a client call or the first sendmsg() of a service response to indicate the total length of the data to be transmitted for that call. Currently, because the length of the payload of an encrypted DATA packet is encrypted in front of the data, the packet cannot be encrypted until we know how much data it will hold. By specifying the length at the beginning of the transmit phase, each DATA packet length can be set before we start loading data from userspace (where several sendmsg() calls may contribute to a particular packet). An error will be returned if too little or too much data is presented in the Tx phase. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

2017-06-05rxrpc: Add service upgrade support for client connectionsDavid Howells
Make it possible for a client to use AuriStor's service upgrade facility. The client does this by adding an RXRPC_UPGRADE_SERVICE control message to the first sendmsg() of a call. This takes no parameters. When recvmsg() starts returning data from the call, the service ID field in the returned msg_name will reflect the result of the upgrade attempt. If the upgrade was ignored, srx_service will match what was set in the sendmsg(); if the upgrade happened the srx_service will be altered to indicate the service the server upgraded to. Note that: (1) The choice of upgrade service is up to the server (2) Further client calls to the same server that would share a connection are blocked if an upgrade probe is in progress. (3) This should only be used to probe the service. Clients should then use the returned service ID in all subsequent communications with that server (and not set the upgrade). Note that the kernel will not retain this information should the connection expire from its cache. (4) If a server that supports upgrading is replaced by one that doesn't, whilst a connection is live, and if the replacement is running, say, OpenAFS 1.6.4 or older or an older IBM AFS, then the replacement server will not respond to packets sent to the upgraded connection. At this point, calls will time out and the server must be reprobed. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2017-06-05rxrpc: Implement service upgradeDavid Howells
Implement AuriStor's service upgrade facility. There are three problems that this is meant to deal with: (1) Various of the standard AFS RPC calls have IPv4 addresses in their requests and/or replies - but there's no room for including IPv6 addresses. (2) Definition of IPv6-specific RPC operations in the standard operation sets has not yet been achieved. (3) One could envision the creation a new service on the same port that as the original service. The new service could implement improved operations - and the client could try this first, falling back to the original service if it's not there. Unfortunately, certain servers ignore packets addressed to a service they don't implement and don't respond in any way - not even with an ABORT. This means that the client must then wait for the call timeout to occur. What service upgrade does is to see if the connection is marked as being 'upgradeable' and if so, change the service ID in the server and thus the request and reply formats. Note that the upgrade isn't mandatory - a server that supports only the original call set will ignore the upgrade request. In the protocol, the procedure is then as follows: (1) To request an upgrade, the first DATA packet in a new connection must have the userStatus set to 1 (this is normally 0). The userStatus value is normally ignored by the server. (2) If the server doesn't support upgrading, the reply packets will contain the same service ID as for the first request packet. (3) If the server does support upgrading, all future reply packets on that connection will contain the new service ID and the new service ID will be applied to *all* further calls on that connection as well. (4) The RPC op used to probe the upgrade must take the same request data as the shadow call in the upgrade set (but may return a different reply). GetCapability RPC ops were added to all standard sets for just this purpose. Ops where the request formats differ cannot be used for probing. (5) The client must wait for completion of the probe before sending any further RPC ops to the same destination. It should then use the service ID that recvmsg() reported back in all future calls. (6) The shadow service must have call definitions for all the operation IDs defined by the original service. To support service upgrading, a server should: (1) Call bind() twice on its AF_RXRPC socket before calling listen(). Each bind() should supply a different service ID, but the transport addresses must be the same. This allows the server to receive requests with either service ID. (2) Enable automatic upgrading by calling setsockopt(), specifying RXRPC_UPGRADEABLE_SERVICE and passing in a two-member array of unsigned shorts as the argument: unsigned short optval[2]; This specifies a pair of service IDs. They must be different and must match the service IDs bound to the socket. Member 0 is the service ID to upgrade from and member 1 is the service ID to upgrade to.

2017-06-05rxrpc: Permit multiple service bindingDavid Howells
Permit bind() to be called on an AF_RXRPC socket more than once (currently maximum twice) to bind multiple listening services to it. There are some restrictions: (1) All bind() calls involved must have a non-zero service ID. (2) The service IDs must all be different. (3) The rest of the address (notably the transport part) must be the same in all (a single UDP socket is shared). (4) This must be done before listen() or sendmsg() is called. This allows someone to connect to the service socket with different service IDs and lays the foundation for service upgrading. The service ID used by an incoming call can be extracted from the msg_name returned by recvmsg(). Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
