This patch adds anti-spoofing checks in sit.c as specified in RFC3964 section 5.2 for 6to4 and RFC5969 section 12 for 6rd. I left out the checks which could easily be implemented with netfilter. Specifically this patch adds following logic (based loosely on the pseudocode in RFC3964 section 5.2): if prefix (inner_src_v6) == rd6_prefix (2002::/16 is the default) and outer_src_v4 != embedded_ipv4 (inner_src_v6) drop if prefix (inner_dst_v6) == rd6_prefix (or 2002::/16 is the default) and outer_dst_v4 != embedded_ipv4 (inner_dst_v6) drop accept To accomplish the specified security checks proposed by above RFCs, it is still necessary to employ uRPF filters with netfilter. These new checks only kick in if the employed addresses are within the 2002::/16 or another range specified by the 6rd-prefix (which defaults to 2002::/16).

Resize and regroup structure members to eliminate memory holes and to pack the structure into 2 cache lines (from 3). tx_ring_size was resized from 4 to 2 bytes and few members were re-grouped in order to eliminate byte holes and achieve compactness. Where possible, few members were grouped according to their usage and access order (i.e. start_xmit vs. clean_tx_ring members), less important members were pushed at the end.

A GRE tunnel can be configured so that outgoing tunnel packets inherit the value of the TOS field from the inner IP header. In doing so, when a non-IP packet is transmitted through the tunnel, the TOS field will always be set to 0. Instead, the user should be able to configure a different TOS value as the fallback to use for non-IP packets. This is helpful when the non-IP packets are all control packets and should be handled by routers outside the tunnel as having Internet Control precedence. One example of this is the NHRP packets that control a DMVPN-compatible mGRE tunnel; they are encapsulated directly by GRE and do not contain an inner IP header. Under the existing behavior, the IFLA_GRE_TOS parameter must be set to '1' for the TOS value to be inherited. Now, only the least significant bit of this parameter must be set to '1', and when a non-IP packet is sent through the tunnel, the upper 6 bits of this same parameter will be copied into the TOS field. (The ECN bits get masked off as before.) This behavior is backwards-compatible with existing configurations and iproute2 versions.

There are some usecase when lifetime of ipv4 addresses might be helpful. For example: 1) initramfs networkmanager uses a DHCP daemon to learn network configuration parameters 2) initramfs networkmanager addresses, routes and DNS configuration 3) initramfs networkmanager is requested to stop 4) initramfs networkmanager stops all daemons including dhclient 5) there are addresses and routes configured but no daemon running. If the system doesn't start networkmanager for some reason, addresses and routes will be used forever, which violates RFC 2131. This patch is essentially a backport of ivp6 address lifetime mechanism for ipv4 addresses. Current "ip" tool supports this without any patch (since it does not distinguish between ipv4 and ipv6 addresses in this perspective. Also, this should be back-compatible with all current netlink users. Reported-by: Pavel Šimerda <psimerda@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Signed-off-by: David S.

Jesper Dangaard Brouer says: ==================== This patchset is V2, with some trivial code fixes, which were noticed by DaveM. It is still a partly respin of my fragmentation optimization patches: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/250914 This is not the complete patchset, from the gmane link above. In this patchset, I primarily focus on adjusting cacheline for better SMP/NUMA performance. Once this patchset have been agreed upon, I will continue and respin the rest of my patches. This time around, I have created a frag DoS generator, via the tool trafgen (http://netsniff-ng.org/). To create a stable DoS scenario (no longer relying on frame dropping due to disabled flow-control). Two 10G interfaces are under-test, and uses Ethernet flow-control. A third interface is used for generating the DoS attack (this interface is also 10G, but it does not need to be, as 500Kpps DoS is enough). Test types summary (netperf): Test-20G64K == 2x10G with 65K fragments Test-20G3F == 2x10G with 3x fragments (3*1472 bytes) Test-20G64K+DoS == Same as 20G64K with frag DoS Test-20G3F+DoS == Same as 20G3F with frag DoS Patch list: Patch-01 - net: cacheline adjust struct netns_frags for better frag performance Patch-02 - net: cacheline adjust struct inet_frags for better frag performance Patch-03 - net: cacheline adjust struct inet_frag_queue Patch-04 - net: frag helper functions for mem limit tracking Patch-05 - net: use lib/percpu_counter API for fragmentation mem accounting Patch-06 - net: frag, move LRU list maintenance outside of rwlock Performance table summary: Test-type: Test-20G64K Test-20G3F 20G64K+DoS 20G3F+DoS ---------- ----------- ---------- ---------- --------- net-next: 15114.5 Mbit/s 8954.21 2444.28 3918.01 Mbit/s Patch-01: 16075.8 Mbit/s 8976.18 2621.49 4072.79 Mbit/s Patch-02: 17806.9 Mbit/s 9280.32 2478.62 4274.59 Mbit/s Patch-03: 17317.4 Mbit/s 9308.62 2546.05 4336.59 Mbit/s Patch-04: 17635.9 Mbit/s 9256.16 2535.25 4327.63 Mbit/s Patch-05: 18027.0 Mbit/s 9918.99 2492.62 3621.68 Mbit/s Patch-06: 18486.7 Mbit/s 10723.20 3657.85 4560.64 Mbit/s I cannot explain the under-DoS regression that patch-05/percpu_counter introduces. But patch-06/LRU-lock corrects the situation again. Below is a testlab setup description, with links to the trafgen DoS packet config used. Testlab ======= Server setup ------------ The machine acting as a server: - 2x CPU (E5-2630) - Thus a NUMA arch/machine - 4x 10Gbit/s ports - NICs 2x Intel Dual port 82599 based (driver ixgbe) Setup: - Interfaces uses Ethernet flow control - Flush all iptables - Remove all iptables related module. - Kill irqbalance - Pin each 10G NIC port to a *single* CPU each Pinning can easily be done by command hacks:: for x in /proc/irq/*/eth8*/../smp_affinity_list ; do echo 1 > $x; done for x in /proc/irq/*/eth9*/../smp_affinity_list ; do echo 3 > $x; done for x in /proc/irq/*/eth31*/../smp_affinity_list; do echo 6 > $x; done for x in /proc/irq/*/eth32*/../smp_affinity_list; do echo 8 > $x; done Notice NUMA setting: The CPU to NIC tying is carefully choosen according to the NUMA node setup. Thus, NICs connected to a PCI-e slot that is connected to a physical CPU socket are tied together. Choosing only a single CPU per NIC (port) is just to ease provoking and debugging this performance issue. (In real setups, you can choose more CPU, just remember the NUMA node in the equation). Tools ----- Netperf is used, with option -T to ensure CPU binding. The netserver processes, are NAPI pinned:: numactl -m0 -c0 netserver numactl -m1 -c 1 netserver -p 1337 I now have a frag DoS generator, created via the tool: trafgen (see: http://netsniff-ng.org/) Trafgen packet config file: http://people.netfilter.org/hawk/frag_work/trafgen/frag_packet03_small_frag.txf Notice, I'm using features of trafgen, recently developed by Daniel Borkmann, thus you need the latest git tree to use my trafgen packet config. git://github.com/borkmann/netsniff-ng.git Command line: trafgen --dev eth51 --conf frag_packet03_small_frag.txf -V -k 100 --cpus 2 Tests types ----------- Test(20G64K) UDP-64K 2x 10Gbit/s with no DoS traffic: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ export SIZE=$((65507)); export TIME=$((20)); export LOG=/tmp/netperf.log ;\ netperf -p 1337 -H 192.168.31.2 -T7,7 -t UDP_STREAM -l $TIME -- -m $SIZE >> ${LOG}.31 &\ netperf -H 192.168.81.2 -T2,2 -t UDP_STREAM -l $TIME -- -m $SIZE >> ${LOG}.81 && \ wait $! && tail -n3 ${LOG}.* && \ tail -n3 ${LOG}.{31,81} | awk 'BEGIN{sum=0;} /212992 / {sum+=$4; print " +"$4} /==/ {print " file:"$2} END{print "sum:"sum" Mbit/s"}' Test(20G3F) UDP-3xfrags 2x 10Gbit/s with no DoS traffic: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ export SIZE=$((3*1472)); export TIME=$((20)); export LOG=/tmp/netperf.log ;\ netperf -p 1337 -H 192.168.31.2 -T7,7 -t UDP_STREAM -l $TIME -- -m $SIZE >> ${LOG}.31 &\ netperf -H 192.168.81.2 -T2,2 -t UDP_STREAM -l $TIME -- -m $SIZE >> ${LOG}.81 && \ wait $! && tail -n3 ${LOG}.* && \ tail -n3 ${LOG}.{31,81} | awk 'BEGIN{sum=0;} /212992 / {sum+=$4; print " +"$4} /==/ {print " file:"$2} END{print "sum:"sum" Mbit/s"}' Awk script for summming results: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ tail -n3 ${LOG}.{31,81} | awk 'BEGIN{sum=0;} /212992 / {sum+=$4; print " +"$4} /==/ {print " file:"$2} END{print "sum:"sum" Mbit/s"}' ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Replace the per network namespace shared atomic "mem" accounting variable, in the fragmentation code, with a lib/percpu_counter. Getting percpu_counter to scale to the fragmentation code usage requires some tweaks. At first view, percpu_counter looks superfast, but it does not scale on multi-CPU/NUMA machines, because the default batch size is too small, for frag code usage. Thus, I have adjusted the batch size by using __percpu_counter_add() directly, instead of percpu_counter_sub() and percpu_counter_add(). The batch size is increased to 130.000, based on the largest 64K fragment memory usage. This does introduce some imprecise memory accounting, but its does not need to be strict for this use-case. It is also essential, that the percpu_counter, does not share cacheline with other writers, to make this scale. Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Fragmentation code cacheline adjusting of struct inet_frag_queue. Take advantage of the size of struct timer_list, and move all but spinlock_t lock, below the timer struct. On 64-bit 'lru_list', 'list' and 'refcnt', fits exactly into the next cacheline, and a new cacheline starts at 'fragments'. The netns_frags *net pointer is moved to the end of the struct, because its used in a compare, with "next/close-by" elements of which this struct is embedded into.

The globally shared rwlock, of struct inet_frags, shares cacheline with the 'rnd' number, which is used by the hash calculations. Fix this, as this obviously is a bad idea, as unnecessary cache-misses will occur when accessing the 'rnd' number. Also small note that, moving function ptr (*match) up in struct, is to avoid it lands on the next cacheline (on 64-bit).

This small cacheline adjustment of struct netns_frags improves performance significantly for the fragmentation code. Struct members 'lru_list' and 'mem' are both hot elements, and it hurts performance, due to cacheline bouncing at every call point, when they share a cacheline. Also notice, how mem is placed together with 'high_thresh' and 'low_thresh', as they are used in the compare operations together.

When allocating memory for neighbour cache entry, if tbl->entry_size is not set, we always calculate sizeof(struct neighbour) + tbl->key_len, which is common in the same table. With this change, set tbl->entry_size during the table initialization phase, if it was not set, and use it in neigh_alloc() and neighbour_priv(). This change also allow us to have both of protocol private data and device priate data at tha same time. Note that the only user of prototcol private is DECnet and the only user of device private is ATM CLIP. Since those are exclusive, we have not been facing issues here.

Also included are a pair of mac80211 pulls. Johannes says: "We found two bugs in the previous code, so I'm sending you a pull request again this soon. This contains two regulatory bug fixes, some of Thomas's hwsim beacon timer work and a documentation fix from Bob." "Another pull request for mac80211-next. This time, I have a number of things, the patches are mostly self-explanatory. There are a few fixes from Felix and myself, and random cleanups & improvements.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== This series contains updates to e1000e, ixgbevf, igb and igbvf. Majority of the patches are code cleanups of e1000e where code is removed (Yeah!). The other two e1000e patches are fixes. The first is to fix the maximum frame size for 82579 devices. The second fix is to resolve an issue with devices other than 82579 that suffer from dropped transactions on platforms with deep C-states when jumbo frames are enabled. The ixgbevf patch is to ensure that the driver fetches the correct, refreshed value for link status and speed when the values have changed. The igb and igbvf patches are a solution to an issue Stefan Assmann reported, where when the PF is up and igbvf is loaded, the MAC address is not generated using eth_hw_addr_random(). ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

With lazy interrupt, we always call __check_irq_replaysome with decrementers_next_tb to check if we need to replay timer interrupt. So in hotplug case we also need to set decrementers_next_tb as MAX to make sure __check_irq_replay don't replay timer interrupt when return as we expect, otherwise we'll trap here infinitely.

In preempt case current arch_local_irq_restore() from preempt_schedule_irq() may enable hard interrupt but we really should disable interrupts when we return from the interrupt, and so that we don't get interrupted after loading SRR0/1.

The calculation for the left shift of the mask OPROFILE_PM_PMCSEL_MSK has an error. The calculation is should be to shift left by (max_cntrs - cntr) times the width of the pmsel field width. However, the #define OPROFILE_MAX_PMC_NUM was used instead of OPROFILE_PMSEL_FIELD_WIDTH. This patch fixes the calculation.

commit f96972f2 "kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()" added a call to disable_nonboot_cpus() on kernel_restart(), which tries to shutdown all the CPUs except the first one. The issue with the PA Semi, is that it does not support CPU hotplug. When the call is made to __cpu_down(), it calls the notifiers CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, and then tries to take the CPU down. One of the notifiers to the CPU hotplug code, is the cpufreq. The DOWN_PREPARE will call __cpufreq_remove_dev() which calls cpufreq_driver->exit. The PA Semi exit handler unmaps regions of I/O that is used by an interrupt that goes off constantly (system_reset_common, but it goes off during normal system operations too). I'm not sure exactly what this interrupt does. Running a simple function trace, you can see it goes off quite a bit: # tracer: function # # TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | | | <idle>-0 [001] 1558.859363: .pasemi_system_reset_exception <-.system_reset_exception <idle>-0 [000] 1558.860112: .pasemi_system_reset_exception <-.system_reset_exception <idle>-0 [000] 1558.861109: .pasemi_system_reset_exception <-.system_reset_exception <idle>-0 [001] 1558.861361: .pasemi_system_reset_exception <-.system_reset_exception <idle>-0 [000] 1558.861437: .pasemi_system_reset_exception <-.system_reset_exception When the region is unmapped, the system crashes with: Disabling non-boot CPUs ...
