They are either obsolete or useless. Those in the normal processing path cannot be enabled on a production system; they generate too much noise.

Currently nf_conncount can trigger garbage collection (GC) at multiple places. Each GC process takes a spin_lock_bh to traverse the nf_conncount_list. We found that when testing port scanning use two parallel nmap, because the number of connection increase fast, the nf_conncount_count and its subsequent call to __nf_conncount_add take too much time, causing several CPU lockup. This happens when user set the conntrack limit to +20,000, because the larger the limit, the longer the list that GC has to traverse. The patch mitigate the performance issue by avoiding unnecessary GC with a timestamp. Whenever nf_conncount has done a GC, a timestamp is updated, and beforce the next time GC is triggered, we make sure it's more than a jiffies. By doin this we can greatly reduce the CPU cycles and avoid the softirq lockup. To reproduce it in OVS, $ ovs-appctl dpctl/ct-set-limits zone=1,limit=20000 $ ovs-appctl dpctl/ct-get-limits At another machine, runs two nmap $ nmap -p1- <IP> $ nmap -p1- <IP> Signed-off-by: William Tu <u9012063@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Yifeng Sun <pkusunyifeng@gmail.com> Reported-by: Greg Rose <gvrose8192@gmail.com> Suggested-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

Commit 40867d74 ("net: Add l3mdev index to flow struct and avoid oif reset for port devices") introduces a flow key specific for layer 3 domains, such as a VRF master device. This allows for explicit VRF domain selection instead of abusing the oif flow key. Update ip[6]_route_me_harder() to make use of that new key when re-routing mangled packets within VRFs instead of setting the flow oif, making it consistent with other users.

Currently, when the HW has a single interrupt, the driver uses the GIC, TIC, RIC0 registers to enable and disable interrupts. When the HW has multiple interrupts, it uses the GIE, GID, TIE, TID, RIE0, RID0 registers. However, other devices, e.g. RZ/V2M, have multiple irqs and only have the GIC, TIC, RIC0 registers. Therefore, split this into a separate feature.

Document the Ethernet AVB IP found on RZ/V2M SoC. It includes the Ethernet controller (E-MAC) and Dedicated Direct memory access controller (DMAC) for transferring transmitted Ethernet frames to and received Ethernet frames from respective storage areas in the RAM at high speed. The AVB-DMAC is compliant with IEEE 802.1BA, IEEE 802.1AS timing and synchronization protocol, IEEE 802.1Qav real-time transfer, and the IEEE 802.1Qat stream reservation protocol. R-Car has a pair of combined interrupt lines: ch22 = Line0_DiA | Line1_A | Line2_A ch23 = Line0_DiB | Line1_B | Line2_B Line0 for descriptor interrupts (which we call dia and dib). Line1 for error related interrupts (which we call err_a and err_b). Line2 for management and gPTP related interrupts (mgmt_a and mgmt_b). RZ/V2M hardware has separate interrupt lines for each of these. It has 3 clocks; the main AXI clock, the AMBA CHI (Coherent Hub Interface) clock and a gPTP reference clock.

The pointer check usually results in a 'false positive': its likely that the ctnetlink module is loaded but no event monitoring is enabled. After recent change to autodetect ctnetlink usage and only allocate the ecache extension if a listener is active, check if the extension is present on a given conntrack. If its not there, there is nothing to report and calls to the notification framework can be elided.

This adds the new nf_conntrack_events=2 mode and makes it the default. This leverages the earlier flag in struct net to allow to avoid the event extension as long as no event listener is active in the namespace. This avoids, for most cases, allocation of ct->ext area. A followup patch will take further advantage of this by avoiding calls down into the event framework if the extension isn't present.

Only called when new ct is allocated or the extension isn't present. This function will be extended, place this in the conntrack module instead of inlining. The callers already depend on nf_conntrack module. Return value is changed to bool, noone used the returned pointer. Make sure that the core drops the newly allocated conntrack if the extension is requested but can't be added. This makes it necessary to ifdef the section, as the stub always returns false we'd drop every new conntrack if the the ecache extension is disabled in kconfig. Add from data path (xt_CT, nft_ct) is unchanged. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

At this time, every new conntrack gets the 'event cache extension' enabled for it. This is because the 'net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_events' sysctl defaults to 1. Changing the default to 0 means that commands that rely on the event notification extension, e.g. 'conntrack -E' or conntrackd, stop working. We COULD detect if there is a listener by means of 'nfnetlink_has_listeners()' and only add the extension if this is true. The downside is a dependency from conntrack module to nfnetlink module. This adds a different way: inc/dec a counter whenever a ctnetlink group is being (un)subscribed and toggle a flag in struct net. Next patches will take advantage of this and will only add the event extension if the flag is set.

Multiple netfilter extensions store pointers to external data in their extension area struct. Examples: 1. Timeout policies 2. Connection tracking helpers. No references are taken for these. When a helper or timeout policy is removed, the conntrack table gets traversed and affected extensions are cleared. Conntrack entries not yet in the hashtable are referenced via a special list, the unconfirmed list. On removal of a policy or connection tracking helper, the unconfirmed list gets traversed an all entries are marked as dying, this prevents them from getting committed to the table at insertion time: core checks for dying bit, if set, the conntrack entry gets destroyed at confirm time. The disadvantage is that each new conntrack has to be added to the percpu unconfirmed list, and each insertion needs to remove it from this list. The list is only ever needed when a policy or helper is removed -- a rare occurrence. Add a generation ID count: Instead of adding to the list and then traversing that list on policy/helper removal, increment a counter that is stored in the extension area. For unconfirmed conntracks, the extension has the genid valid at ct allocation time. Removal of a helper/policy etc. increments the counter. At confirmation time, validate that ext->genid == global_id. If the stored number is not the same, do not allow the conntrack insertion, just like as if a confirmed-list traversal would have flagged the entry as dying. After insertion, the genid is no longer relevant (conntrack entries are now reachable via the conntrack table iterators and is set to 0. This allows removal of the percpu unconfirmed list.

This helper tags connections not yet in the conntrack table as dying. These nf_conn entries will be dropped instead when the core attempts to insert them from the input or postrouting 'confirm' hook. After the previous change, the entries get unlinked from the list earlier, so that by the time the actual exit hook runs, new connections no longer have a timeout policy assigned.

Its no longer needed. Entries that need event redelivery are placed on the new pernet dying list. The advantage is that there is no need to take additional spinlock on conntrack removal unless event redelivery failed or the conntrack entry was never added to the table in the first place (confirmed bit not set).

This driver was using the TX IRQ handler to perform all TX completion tasks. Under heavy TX network load, this can cause significant irqs-off latencies (found to be in the hundreds of microseconds using ftrace). This can cause other issues, such as overrunning serial UART FIFOs when using high baud rates with limited UART FIFO sizes. Switch to using a NAPI poll handler to perform the TX completion work to get this out of hard IRQ context and avoid the IRQ latency impact. A separate poll handler is used for TX and RX since they have separate IRQs on this controller, so that the completion work for each of them stays on the same CPU as the interrupt. Testing on a Xilinx MPSoC ZU9EG platform using iperf3 from a Linux PC through a switch at 1G link speed showed no significant change in TX or RX throughput, with approximately 941 Mbps before and after. Hard IRQ time in the TX throughput test was significantly reduced from 12% to below 1% on the CPU handling TX interrupts, with total hard+soft IRQ CPU usage dropping from about 56% down to 48%.

The axienet_start_xmit function was updating the tx_bd_tail variable multiple times, with potential rollbacks on error or invalid intermediate positions, even though this variable is also used in the TX completion path. Use READ_ONCE where this variable is read and WRITE_ONCE where it is written to make this update more atomic, and move the write before the MMIO write to start the transfer, so it is protected by that implicit write barrier.
