There are several error handling bugs in mscc_ocelot_init_ports(). I went through the code, and carefully audited it and made fixes and cleanups. 1) The ocelot_probe_port() function didn't have a mirror release function so it was hard to follow. I created the ocelot_release_port() function. 2) In the ocelot_probe_port() function, if the register_netdev() call failed, then it lead to a double free_netdev(dev) bug. Fix this by setting "ocelot->ports[port] = NULL" on the error path. 3) I was concerned that the "port" which comes from of_property_read_u32() might be out of bounds so I added a check for that. 4) In the original code if ocelot_regmap_init() failed then the driver tried to continue but I think that should be a fatal error. 5) If ocelot_probe_port() failed then the most recent devlink was leaked. The fix for mostly came Vladimir Oltean. Get rid of "registered_ports" and just set a bit in "devlink_ports_registered" to say when the devlink port has been registered (and needs to be unregistered on error). There are fewer than 32 ports so a u32 is large enough for this purpose. 6) The error handling if the final ocelot_port_devlink_init() failed had two problems. The "while (port-- >= 0)" loop should have been "--port" pre-op instead of a post-op to avoid a buffer underflow. The "if (!registered_ports[port])" condition was reversed leading to resource leaks and double frees. Fixes: 6c30384e ("net: mscc: ocelot: register devlink ports") Signed-off-by:

Brian Vazquez says: ==================== net: use INDIRECT_CALL in some dst_ops This patch series uses the INDIRECT_CALL wrappers in some dst_ops functions to mitigate retpoline costs. Benefits depend on the platform as described below. Background: The kernel rewrites the retpoline code at __x86_indirect_thunk_r11 depending on the CPU's requirements. The INDIRECT_CALL wrappers provide hints on possible targets and save the retpoline overhead using a direct call in case the target matches one of the hints. The retpoline overhead for the following three cases has been measured by Luigi Rizzo in microbenchmarks, using CPU performance counters, and cover reasonably well the range of possible retpoline overheads compared to a plain indirect call (in equal conditions, specifically with predicted branch, hot cache): - just "jmp *(%r11)" on modern platforms like Intel Cascadelake. In this case the overhead is just 2 clock cycles: - "lfence; jmp *(%r11)" on e.g. some recent AMD CPUs. In this case the lfence is blocked until pending reads complete, so the actual overhead depends on previous instructions. The best case we have measured 15 clock cycles of overhead. - worst case, e.g. skylake, the full retpoline is used __x86_indirect_thunk_r11: call set_u_target capture_speculation: pause lfence jmp capture_speculation .align 16 set_up_target: mov %r11, (%rsp) ret In this case the overhead has been measured in 35-40 clock cycles. The actual time saved hence depends on the platform and current clock speed (which varies heavily, especially when C-states are active). Also note that actual benefit might be lower than expected if the longer retpoline overlaps with some pending memory read. MEASUREMENTS: The INDIRECT_CALL wrappers in this patchset involve the processing of incoming SYN and generation of syncookies. Hence, the test has been run by configuring a receiving host with a single NIC rx queue, disabling RPS and RFS so that all processing occurs on the same core. An external source generates SYN fast enough to saturate the receiving CPU. We ran two sets of experiments, with and without the dst_output patch, comparing the number of syncookies generated over a 20s period in multiple runs. Assuming the CPU is saturated, the time per packet is t = number_of_packets/total_time and if the two datasets have statistically meaningful difference, the difference in times between the two cases gives an estimate of the benefits from one INDIRECT_CALL. Here are the experimental results: Skylake Syncookies over 20s (5 tests) --------------------------------------------------- indirect 9166325 9182023 9170093 9134014 9171082 retpoline 9099308 9126350 9154841 9056377 9122376 Computing the stats on the ns_pkt = 20e6/total_packets gives the following: $ ministat -c 95 -w 70 /tmp/sk-indirect /tmp/sk-retp x /tmp/sk-indirect + /tmp/sk-retp +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |x xx x + x + + + +| ||______M__A_______|_|____________M_____A___________________| | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ N Min Max Median Avg Stddev x 5 2.17817e-06 2.18962e-06 2.181e-06 2.182292e-06 4.3252133e-09 + 5 2.18464e-06 2.20839e-06 2.19241e-06 2.194974e-06 8.8695958e-09 Difference at 95.0% confidence 1.2682e-08 +/- 1.01766e-08 0.581132% +/- 0.466326% (Student's t, pooled s = 6.97772e-09) This suggests a difference of 13ns +/- 10ns Our expectation from microbenchmarks was 35-40 cycles per call, but part of the gains may be eaten by stalls from pending memory reads.

Mat Martineau says: ==================== mptcp: ADD_ADDR enhancements This patch series from the MPTCP tree contains enhancements and associated tests for the ADD_ADDR ("add address") MPTCP option. This option allows already-connected MPTCP peers to share additional IP addresses with each other, which can then be used to create additional subflows within those MPTCP connections. Patches 1 & 2 remove duplicated data in the per-connection path manager structure. Patches 3-6 initiate additional subflows when an address is added using the netlink path manager interface and improve ADD_ADDR signaling reliability, subject to configured limits. Self tests are also updated. Patches 7-15 add new support for optional port numbers in ADD_ADDR. This includes creating an additional in-kernel TCP listening socket for the requested port number, validating the port number when processing incoming subflow connections, including the port number in netlink interfaces, and adding some new MIBs. New self test cases are added for subflows connecting with alternate port numbers. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210201230920.66027-1-mathew.j.martineau@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by: -

Ido Schimmel says: ==================== Add notifications when route hardware flags change Routes installed to the kernel can be programmed to capable devices, in which case they are marked with one of two flags. RTM_F_OFFLOAD for routes that offload traffic from the kernel and RTM_F_TRAP for routes that trap packets to the kernel for processing (e.g., host routes). These flags are of interest to routing daemons since they would like to delay advertisement of routes until they are installed in hardware. This allows them to avoid packet loss or misrouted packets. Currently, routing daemons do not receive any notifications when these flags are changed, requiring them to poll the kernel tables for changes which is inefficient. This series addresses the issue by having the kernel emit RTM_NEWROUTE notifications whenever these flags change. The behavior is controlled by two sysctls (net.ipv4.fib_notify_on_flag_change and net.ipv6.fib_notify_on_flag_change) that default to 0 (no notifications). Note that even if route installation in hardware is improved to be more synchronous, these notifications are still of interest. For example, a multipath route can change from RTM_F_OFFLOAD to RTM_F_TRAP if its neighbours become invalid. A routing daemon can choose to withdraw / replace the route in that case. In addition, the deletion of a route from the kernel can prompt the installation of an identical route (already in kernel, with an higher metric) to hardware. For testing purposes, netdevsim is aligned to simulate a "real" driver that programs routes to hardware. Series overview: Patches #1-#2 align netdevsim to perform route programming in a non-atomic context Patches #3-#5 add sysctl to control IPv4 notifications Patches #6-#8 add sysctl to control IPv6 notifications Patch #9 extends existing fib tests to set sysctls before running tests Patch #10 adds test for fib notifications over netdevsim ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210201194757.3463461-1-idosch@idosch.orgSigned-off-by:

After installing a route to the kernel, user space receives an acknowledgment, which means the route was installed in the kernel, but not necessarily in hardware. The asynchronous nature of route installation in hardware can lead to a routing daemon advertising a route before it was actually installed in hardware. This can result in packet loss or mis-routed packets until the route is installed in hardware. It is also possible for a route already installed in hardware to change its action and therefore its flags. For example, a host route that is trapping packets can be "promoted" to perform decapsulation following the installation of an IPinIP/VXLAN tunnel. Emit RTM_NEWROUTE notifications whenever RTM_F_OFFLOAD/RTM_F_TRAP flags are changed. The aim is to provide an indication to user-space (e.g., routing daemons) about the state of the route in hardware. Introduce a sysctl that controls this behavior. Keep the default value at 0 (i.e., do not emit notifications) for several reasons: - Multiple RTM_NEWROUTE notification per-route might confuse existing routing daemons. - Convergence reasons in routing daemons. - The extra notifications will negatively impact the insertion rate. - Not all users are interested in these notifications.

Currently, netdevsim implements dummy FIB offload and marks notified routes with RTM_F_TRAP flag. netdevsim does not defer route notifications to a work queue because it does not need to program any hardware. Given that netdevsim's purpose is to both give an example implementation and allow developers to test their code, align netdevsim to a "real" hardware device driver like mlxsw and have it also perform the route "programming" in a non-atomic context. It will be used to test route flags notifications which will be added in the next patches. The following changes are needed when route handling is performed in WQ: - Handle the accounting in the main context, to be able to return an error for adding route when all the routes are used. For FIB_EVENT_ENTRY_REPLACE increase the counter before scheduling the delayed work, and in case that this event replaces an existing route, decrease the counter as part of the delayed work. - For IPv6, cannot use fen6_info->rt->fib6_siblings list because it might be changed during handling the delayed work. Save an array with the nexthops as part of fib6_event struct, and take a reference for each nexthop to prevent them from being freed while event is queued. - Change GFP_ATOMIC allocations to GFP_KERNEL. - Use single work item that is handling a list of ordered routes. Handling routes must be processed in the order they were submitted to avoid logical errors that could lead to unexpected failures. Signed-off-by:

When route is added/deleted, the appropriate counter is increased/decreased to maintain number of routes. User can limit the number of routes and then according to the appropriate counter, adding more routes than the limitation is forbidden. Currently, there is one lock which protects hashtable, list and accounting. Handling the counters will be performed from both atomic context and non-atomic context, while the hashtable and the list will be used only from non-atomic context and therefore will be protected by a separate lock. Protect accounting by using an atomic variable, so lock is not needed. v2: * Use atomic64_sub() in nsim_nexthop_account()'s error path Signed-off-by:
