      ipv6: take dst->__refcnt for insertion into fib6 tree · 1cfb71ee
      Wei Wang authored 
      In IPv6 routing code, struct rt6_info is created for each static route
and RTF_CACHE route and inserted into fib6 tree. In both cases, dst
ref count is not taken.
As explained in the previous patch, this leads to the need of the dst
garbage collector.

This patch holds ref count of dst before inserting the route into fib6
tree and properly releases the dst when deleting it from the fib6 tree
as a preparation in order to fully get rid of dst gc later.

Also, correct fib6_age() logic to check dst->__refcnt to be 1 to indicate
no user is referencing the dst.

And remove dst_hold() in vrf_rt6_create() as ip6_dst_alloc() already puts
dst->__refcnt to 1.

      ipv4: mark DST_NOGC and remove the operation of dst_free() · b838d5e1
      Wei Wang authored 
      With the previous preparation patches, we are ready to get rid of the
dst gc operation in ipv4 code and release dst based on refcnt only.
So this patch adds DST_NOGC flag for all IPv4 dst and remove the calls
to dst_free().
At this point, all dst created in ipv4 code do not use the dst gc
anymore and will be destroyed at the point when refcnt drops to 0.

      ipv4: call dst_hold_safe() properly · 9df16efa
      Wei Wang authored 
      This patch checks all the calls to
dst_hold()/skb_dst_force()/dst_clone()/dst_use() to see if
dst_hold_safe() is needed to avoid double free issue if dst
gc is removed and dst_release() directly destroys dst when
dst->__refcnt drops to 0.

In tx path, TCP hold sk->sk_rx_dst ref count and also hold sock_lock().
UDP and other similar protocols always hold refcount for
skb->_skb_refdst. So both paths seem to be safe.

In rx path, as it is lockless and skb_dst_set_noref() is likely to be
used, dst_hold_safe() should always be used when trying to hold dst.

In the routing code, if dst is held during an rcu protected session, it
is necessary to call dst_hold_safe() as the current dst might be in its
rcu grace period.

      ipv4: call dst_dev_put() properly · 95c47f9c
      Wei Wang authored 
      As the intend of this patch series is to completely remove dst gc,
we need to call dst_dev_put() to release the reference to dst->dev
when removing routes from fib because we won't keep the gc list anymore
and will lose the dst pointer right after removing the routes.
Without the gc list, there is no way to find all the dst's that have
dst->dev pointing to the going-down dev.
Hence, we are doing dst_dev_put() immediately before we lose the last
reference of the dst from the routing code. The next dst_check() will
trigger a route re-lookup to find another route (if there is any).

      ipv4: take dst->__refcnt when caching dst in fib · 0830106c
      Wei Wang authored 
      In IPv4 routing code, fib_nh and fib_nh_exception can hold pointers
to struct rtable but they never increment dst->__refcnt.
This leads to the need of the dst garbage collector because when user
is done with this dst and calls dst_release(), it can only decrement
dst->__refcnt and can not free the dst even it sees dst->__refcnt
drops from 1 to 0 (unless DST_NOCACHE flag is set) because the routing
code might still hold reference to it.
And when the routing code tries to delete a route, it has to put the
dst to the gc_list if dst->__refcnt is not yet 0 and have a gc thread
running periodically to check on dst->__refcnt and finally to free dst
when refcnt becomes 0.

This patch increments dst->__refcnt when
fib_nh/fib_nh_exception holds reference to this dst and properly release
the dst when fib_nh/fib_nh_exception has been updated with a new dst.

This patch is a preparation in order to fully get rid of dst gc later.

      net: introduce a new function dst_dev_put() · 4a6ce2b6
      Wei Wang authored 
      This function should be called when removing routes from fib tree after
the dst gc is no longer in use.
We first mark DST_OBSOLETE_DEAD on this dst to make sure next
dst_ops->check() fails and returns NULL.
Secondly, as we no longer keep the gc_list, we need to properly
release dst->dev right at the moment when the dst is removed from
the fib/fib6 tree.
It does the following:
1. change dst->input and output pointers to dst_discard/dst_dscard_out to
   discard all packets
2. replace dst->dev with loopback interface

      net: introduce DST_NOGC in dst_release() to destroy dst based on refcnt · 5f56f409
      Wei Wang authored 
      The current mechanism of freeing dst is a bit complicated. dst has its
ref count and when user grabs the reference to the dst, the ref count is
properly taken in most cases except in IPv4/IPv6/decnet/xfrm routing
code due to some historic reasons.

If the reference to dst is always taken properly, we should be able to
simplify the logic in dst_release() to destroy dst when dst->__refcnt
drops from 1 to 0. And this should be the only condition to determine
if we can call dst_destroy().
And as dst is always ref counted, there is no need for a dst garbage
list to hold the dst entries that already get removed by the routing
code but are still held by other users. And the task to periodically
check the list to free dst if ref count become 0 is also not needed
anymore.

This patch introduces a temporary flag DST_NOGC(no garbage collector).
If it is set in the dst, dst_release() will call dst_destroy() when
dst->__refcnt drops to 0. dst_hold_safe() will also check for this flag
and do atomic_inc_not_zero() similar as DST_NOCACHE to avoid double free
issue.
This temporary flag is mainly used so that we can make the transition
component by component without breaking other parts.
This flag will be removed after all components are properly transitioned.

This patch also introduces a new function dst_release_immediate() which
destroys dst without waiting on the rcu when refcnt drops to 0. It will
be used in later patches.

Follow-up patches will correct all the places to properly take ref count
on dst and mark DST_NOGC. dst_release() or dst_release_immediate() will
be used to release the dst instead of dst_free() and its related
functions.
And final clean-up patch will remove the DST_NOGC flag.

      net: use loopback dev when generating blackhole route · 1dbe3252
      Wei Wang authored 
      Existing ipv4/6_blackhole_route() code generates a blackhole route
with dst->dev pointing to the passed in dst->dev.
It is not necessary to hold reference to the passed in dst->dev
because the packets going through this route are dropped anyway.
A loopback interface is good enough so that we don't need to worry about
releasing this dst->dev when this dev is going down.

      udp: call dst_hold_safe() in udp_sk_rx_set_dst() · d24406c8
      Wei Wang authored 
      In udp_v4/6_early_demux() code, we try to hold dst->__refcnt for
dst with DST_NOCACHE flag. This is because later in udp_sk_rx_dst_set()
function, we will try to cache this dst in sk for connected case.
However, a better way to achieve this is to not try to hold dst in
early_demux(), but in udp_sk_rx_dst_set(), call dst_hold_safe(). This
approach is also more consistant with how tcp is handling it. And it
will make later changes simpler.
