      tipc: refactor function tipc_link_timeout() · 42b18f60
      Jon Paul Maloy authored
      The function tipc_link_timeout() is unnecessary complex, and can
      easily be made more readable.
      
      We do that with this commit. The only functional change is that we
      remove a redundant test for whether the broadcast link is up or not.

      tipc: reduce transmission rate of reset messages when link is down · 88e8ac70
      Jon Paul Maloy authored
      When a link is down, it will continuously try to re-establish contact
      with the peer by sending out a RESET or an ACTIVATE message at each
      timeout interval. The default value for this interval is currently
      375 ms. This is wasteful, and may become a problem in very large
      clusters with dozens or hundreds of nodes being down simultaneously.
      
      We now introduce a simple backoff algorithm for these cases. The
      first five messages are sent at default rate; thereafter a message
      is sent only each 16th timer interval.
      
      This will cover the vast majority of link recycling cases, since the
      endpoint starting last will transmit at the higher speed, and the link
      should normally be established well be before the rate needs to be
      reduced.
      
      The only case where we will see a degradation of link re-establishment
      times is when the endpoints remain intact, and a glitch in the
      transmission media is causing the link reset. We will then experience
      a worst-case re-establishing time of 6 seconds, something we deem
      acceptable.

      tipc: guarantee peer bearer id exchange after reboot · 634696b1
      Jon Paul Maloy authored
      When a link endpoint is going down locally, e.g., because its interface
      is being stopped, it will spontaneously send out a RESET message to
      its peer, informing it about this fact. This saves the peer from
      detecting the failure via probing, and hence gives both speedier and
      less resource consuming failure detection on the peer side.
      
      According to the link FSM, a receiver of a RESET message, ignoring the
      reason for it, must now consider the sender ready to come back up, and
      starts periodically sending out ACTIVATE messages to the peer in order
      to re-establish the link. Also, according to the FSM, the receiver of
      an ACTIVATE message can now go directly to state ESTABLISHED and start
      sending regular traffic packets. This is a well-proven and robust FSM.
      
      However, in the case of a reboot, there is a small possibilty that link
      endpoint on the rebooted node may have been re-created with a new bearer
      identity between the moment it sent its (pre-boot) RESET and the moment
      it receives the ACTIVATE from the peer. The new bearer identity cannot
      be known by the peer according to this scenario, since traffic headers
      don't convey such information. This is a problem, because both endpoints
      need to know the correct value of the peer's bearer id at any moment in
      time in order to be able to produce correct link events for their users.
      
      The only way to guarantee this is to enforce a full setup message
      exchange (RESET + ACTIVATE) even after the reboot, since those messages
      carry the bearer idientity in their header.
      
      In this commit we do this by introducing and setting a "stopping" bit in
      the header of the spontaneously generated RESET messages, informing the
      peer that the sender will not be immediately ready to re-establish the
      link. A receiver seeing this bit must act as if this were a locally
      detected connectivity failure, and hence has to go through a full two-
      way setup message exchange before any link can be re-established.
      
      Although never reported, this problem seems to have always been around.
      
      This protocol addition is fully backwards compatible.

      tun: use per cpu variables for stats accounting · 608b9977
      Paolo Abeni authored
      Currently the tun device accounting uses dev->stats without applying any
      kind of protection, regardless that accounting happens in preemptible
      process context.
      This patch move the tun stats to a per cpu data structure, and protect
      the updates with  u64_stats_update_begin()/u64_stats_update_end() or
      this_cpu_inc according to the stat type. The per cpu stats are
      aggregated by the newly added ndo_get_stats64 ops.

      Note that this is an optimization which is now possible, old programs
      still doing the zero initialization are just fine as well. Also, make

      bpf: convert relevant helper args to ARG_PTR_TO_RAW_STACK · 074f528e
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      This patch converts all helpers that can use ARG_PTR_TO_RAW_STACK as argument
      type. For tc programs this is bpf_skb_load_bytes(), bpf_skb_get_tunnel_key(),
      bpf_skb_get_tunnel_opt(). For tracing, this optimizes bpf_get_current_comm()
      and bpf_probe_read(). The check in bpf_skb_load_bytes() for MAX_BPF_STACK can
      also be removed since the verifier already makes sure we stay within bounds
      on stack buffers.

      bpf, verifier: add ARG_PTR_TO_RAW_STACK type · 435faee1
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      When passing buffers from eBPF stack space into a helper function, we have
      ARG_PTR_TO_STACK argument type for helpers available. The verifier makes sure
      that such buffers are initialized, within boundaries, etc.
      
      However, the downside with this is that we have a couple of helper functions
      such as bpf_skb_load_bytes() that fill out the passed buffer in the expected
      success case anyway, so zero initializing them prior to the helper call is
      unneeded/wasted instructions in the eBPF program that can be avoided.
      
      Therefore, add a new helper function argument type called ARG_PTR_TO_RAW_STACK.
      The idea is to skip the STACK_MISC check in check_stack_boundary() and color
      the related stack slots as STACK_MISC after we checked all call arguments.
      
      Helper functions using ARG_PTR_TO_RAW_STACK must make sure that every path of
      the helper function will fill the provided buffer area, so that we cannot leak
      any uninitialized stack memory. This f.e. means that error paths need to
      memset() the buffers, but the expected fast-path doesn't have to do this
      anymore.
      
      Since there's no such helper needing more than at most one ARG_PTR_TO_RAW_STACK
      argument, we can keep it simple and don't need to check for multiple areas.
      Should in future such a use-case really appear, we have check_raw_mode() that
      will make sure we implement support for it first.

      bpf, verifier: add bpf_call_arg_meta for passing meta data · 33ff9823
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      Currently, when the verifier checks calls in check_call() function, we
      call check_func_arg() for all 5 arguments e.g. to make sure expected types
      are correct. In some cases, we collect meta data (here: map pointer) to
      perform additional checks such as checking stack boundary on key/value
      sizes for subsequent arguments. As we're going to extend the meta data,
      add a generic struct bpf_call_arg_meta that we can use for passing into
      check_func_arg().

      sctp: add support for RPS and RFS · 486bdee0
      Marcelo Ricardo Leitner authored
      This patch adds what's missing to properly support RPS and RFS on SCTP,
      as some of it is already implemented in common calls.
      
      Having support for RPS and RFS allows better scaling specially because
      not all NICs support hashing SCTP headers.
      
      Save the hash right when we dequeue a skb from inqueue so we do it only
      once per skb instead of per chunk. New sockets will then inherit the
      hash through sctp_copy_sock().
