      ipv6: take care of rt6_stats · 81eb8447
      Wei Wang authored
      Currently, most of the rt6_stats are not hooked up correctly. As the
      last part of this patch series, hook up all existing rt6_stats and add
      one new stat fib_rt_uncache to indicate the number of routes in the
      uncached list.
      For details of the stats, please refer to the comments added in
      include/net/ip6_fib.h.
      
      Note: fib_rt_alloc and fib_rt_uncache are not guaranteed to be modified
      under a lock. So atomic_t is used for them.

      ipv6: replace rwlock with rcu and spinlock in fib6_table · 66f5d6ce
      Wei Wang authored
      With all the preparation work before, we are now ready to replace rwlock
      with rcu and spinlock in fib6_table.
      That means now all fib6_node in fib6_table are protected by rcu. And
      when freeing fib6_node, call_rcu() is used to wait for the rcu grace
      period before releasing the memory.
      When accessing fib6_node, corresponding rcu APIs need to be used.
      And all previous sessions protected by the write lock will now be
      protected by the spin lock per table.
      All previous sessions protected by read lock will now be protected by
      rcu_read_lock().
      
      A couple of things to note here:
      1. As part of the work of replacing rwlock with rcu, the linked list of
      fn->leaf now has to be rcu protected as well. So both fn->leaf and
      rt->dst.rt6_next are now __rcu tagged and corresponding rcu APIs are
      used when manipulating them.
      
      2. For fn->rr_ptr, first of all, it also needs to be rcu protected now
      and is tagged with __rcu and rcu APIs are used in corresponding places.
      Secondly, fn->rr_ptr is changed in rt6_select() which is a reader
      thread. This makes the issue a bit complicated. We think a valid
      solution for it is to let rt6_select() grab the tb6_lock if it decides
      to change it. As it is not in the normal operation and only happens when
      there is no valid neighbor cache for the route, we think the performance
      impact should be low.
      
      3. fib6_walk_continue() has to be called with tb6_lock held even in the
      route dumping related functions, e.g. inet6_dump_fib(),
      fib6_tables_dump() and ipv6_route_seq_ops. It is because
      fib6_walk_continue() makes modifications to the walker structure, and so
      are fib6_repair_tree() and fib6_del_route(). In order to do proper
      syncing between them, we need to let fib6_walk_continue() hold the lock.
      We may be able to do further improvement on the way we do the tree walk
      to get rid of the need for holding the spin lock. But not for now.
      
      4. When fib6_del_route() removes a route from the tree, we no longer
      mark rt->dst.rt6_next to NULL to make simultaneous reader be able to
      further traverse the list with rcu. However, rt->dst.rt6_next is only
      valid within this same rcu period. No one should access it later.
      
      5. All the operation of atomic_inc(rt->rt6i_ref) is changed to be
      performed before we publish this route (either by linking it to fn->leaf
      or insert it in the list pointed by fn->leaf) just to be safe because as
      soon as we publish the route, some read thread will be able to access it.

      ipv6: add key length check into rt6_select() · 17ecf590
      Wei Wang authored
      After rwlock is replaced with rcu and spinlock, fib6_lookup() could
      potentially return an intermediate node if other thread is doing
      fib6_del() on a route which is the only route on the node so that
      fib6_repair_tree() will be called on this node and potentially assigns
      fn->leaf to the its child's fn->leaf.
      
      In order to detect this situation in rt6_select(), we have to check if
      fn->fn_bit is consistent with the key length stored in the route. And
      depending on if the fn is in the subtree or not, the key is either
      rt->rt6i_dst or rt->rt6i_src.
      If any inconsistency is found, that means the node no longer holds valid
      routes in it. So net->ipv6.ip6_null_entry is returned.

      ipv6: check fn->leaf before it is used · 8d1040e8
      Wei Wang authored
      If rwlock is replaced with rcu and spinlock, it is possible that the
      reader thread will see fn->leaf as NULL in the following scenarios:
      1. fib6_add() is in progress and we have already inserted a new node but
      not yet inserted the route.
      2. fib6_del_route() is in progress and we have already set fn->leaf to
      NULL but not yet freed the node because of rcu grace period.
      
      This patch makes sure all the reader threads check fn->leaf first before
      using it. And together with later patch to grab rcu_read_lock() and
      rcu_dereference() fn->leaf, it makes sure reader threads are safe when
      accessing fn->leaf.

      ipv6: update fn_sernum after route is inserted to tree · bbd63f06
      Wei Wang authored
      fib6_add() logic currently calls fib6_add_1() to figure out what node
      should be used for the newly added route and then call
      fib6_add_rt2node() to insert the route to the node.
      And during the call of fib6_add_1(), fn_sernum is updated for all nodes
      that share the same prefix as the new route.
      This does not have issue in the current code because reader thread will
      not be able to access the tree while writer thread is inserting new
      route to it. However, it is not the case once we transition to use RCU.
      Reader thread could potentially see the new fn_sernum before the new
      route is inserted. As a result, reader thread's route lookup will return
      a stale route with the new fn_sernum.
      
      In order to solve this issue, we remove all the update of fn_sernum in
      fib6_add_1(), and instead, introduce a new function that updates fn_sernum
      for all related nodes and call this functions once the route is
      successfully inserted to the tree.
      Also, smp_wmb() is used after a route is successfully inserted into the
      fib tree and right before the updated of fn->sernum. And smp_rmb() is
      used right after fn->sernum is accessed in rt6_get_cookie_safe(). This
      is to guarantee that when the reader thread sees the new fn->sernum, the
      new route is already inserted in the tree in memory.

      ipv6: replace dst_hold() with dst_hold_safe() in routing code · d3843fe5
      Wei Wang authored
      With rwlock, it is safe to call dst_hold() in the read thread because
      read thread is guaranteed to be separated from write thread.
      However, after we replace rwlock with rcu, it is no longer safe to use
      dst_hold(). A dst might already have been deleted but is waiting for the
      rcu grace period to pass before freeing the memory when a read thread is
      trying to do dst_hold(). This could potentially cause double free issue.
      
      So this commit replaces all dst_hold() with dst_hold_safe() in all read
      thread to avoid this double free issue.
      And in order to make the code more compact, a new function ip6_hold_safe()
      is introduced. It calls dst_hold_safe() first, and if that fails, it will
      either fall back to hold and return net->ipv6.ip6_null_entry or set rt to
      NULL according to the caller's need.

      ipv6: don't release rt->rt6i_pcpu memory during rt6_release() · 51e398e8
      Wei Wang authored
      After rwlock is replaced with rcu and spinlock, route lookup can happen
      simultanously with route deletion.
      This patch removes the call to free_percpu(rt->rt6i_pcpu) from
      rt6_release() to avoid the race condition between rt6_release() and
      rt6_get_pcpu_route(). And as free_percpu(rt->rt6i_pcpu) is already
      called in ip6_dst_destroy() after the rcu grace period, it is safe to do
      this change.

      ipv6: grab rt->rt6i_ref before allocating pcpu rt · a94b9367
      Wei Wang authored
      After rwlock is replaced with rcu and spinlock, ip6_pol_route() will be
      called with only rcu held. That means rt6 route deletion could happen
      simultaneously with rt6_make_pcpu_rt(). This could potentially cause
      memory leak if rt6_release() is called right before rt6_make_pcpu_rt()
      on the same route.
      
      This patch grabs rt->rt6i_ref safely before calling rt6_make_pcpu_rt()
      to make sure rt6_release() will not get triggered while
      rt6_make_pcpu_rt() is in progress. And rt6_release() is called after
      rt6_make_pcpu_rt() is finished.
      
      Note: As we are incrementing rt->rt6i_ref in ip6_pol_route(), there is a
      very slim chance that fib6_purge_rt() will be triggered unnecessarily
      when deleting a route if ip6_pol_route() running on another thread picks
      this route as well and tries to make pcpu cache for it.

      ipv6: hook up exception table to store dst cache · 2b760fcf
      Wei Wang authored
      This commit makes use of the exception hash table implementation to
      store dst caches created by pmtu discovery and ip redirect into the hash
      table under the rt_info and no longer inserts these routes into fib6
      tree.
      This makes the fib6 tree only contain static configured routes and could
      now be protected by rcu instead of a rw lock.
      With this change, in the route lookup related functions, after finding
      the rt6_info with the longest prefix, we also need to search for the
      exception table before doing backtracking.
      In the route delete function, if the route being deleted is not a dst
      cache, deletion of this route also need to flush the whole hash table
      under it. If it is a dst cache, then only delete the cached dst in the
      hash table.
      
      Note: for fib6_walk_continue() function, w->root now is always pointing
      to a root node considering that fib6_prune_clones() is removed from the
      code. So we add a WARN_ON() msg to make sure w->root always points to a
      root node and also removed the update of w->root in fib6_repair_tree().
      This is a prerequisite for later patch because we don't need to make
      w->root as rcu protected when replacing rwlock with RCU.
      Also, we remove all prune related variables as it is no longer used.

      ipv6: prepare fib6_locate() for exception table · 38fbeeee
      Wei Wang authored
      fib6_locate() is used to find the fib6_node according to the passed in
      prefix address key. It currently tries to find the fib6_node with the
      exact match of the passed in key. However, when we move cached routes
      into the exception table, fib6_locate() will fail to find the fib6_node
      for it as the cached routes will be stored in the exception table under
      the fib6_node with the longest prefix match of the cache's dst addr key.
      This commit adds a new parameter to let the caller specify if it needs
      exact match or longest prefix match.
      Right now, all callers still does exact match when calling
      fib6_locate(). It will be changed in later commit where exception table
      is hooked up to store cached routes.
