While 3b529602 ("test_bpf: add more eBPF jump torture cases") added the int3 bug test case only for eBPF, which needs exactly 11 passes to converge, here's a version for classic BPF with 11 passes, and one that would need 70 passes on x86_64 to actually converge for being successfully JITed. Effectively, all jumps are being optimized out resulting in a JIT image of just 89 bytes (from originally max BPF insns), only returning K. Might be useful as a receipe for folks wanting to craft a test case when backporting the fix in commit 3f7352bf ("x86: bpf_jit: fix compilation of large bpf programs") while not having eBPF. The 2nd one is delegated to the interpreter as the last pass still results in shrinking, in other words, this one won't be JITed on x86_64.

Edward Cree says: ==================== sfc: add MCDI tracing This patchset adds support for logging MCDI (Management-Controller-to- Driver Interface) interactions between the sfc driver and a bound device, to aid in debugging. Solarflare has a tool to decode the resulting traces and will look to open-source this if there is any external interest, but the protocol is already detailed in drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/mcdi_pcol.h. The logging buffer we allocate per MCDI context is a work area for constructing each individual message before logging it with netif_info. The reason the buffer is long-lived is simply to avoid the overhead of allocating and freeing it every MCDI call, since MCDIs are already known to be serialised for other reasons. -- v4: remove patch #4, which has already been applied via sshah v3: add some explanations to cover letter and patch #4 v2: avoid long lines in cover letter; fix multiline comment style ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

As many issues are encountered at probe time, where MCDI logging can't be enabled through the sysfs node, this change adds a module parameter 'mcdi_logging_default', which defaults to false. When set to true, newly- probed functions will have MCDI logging enabled. The setting can subsequently be changed as normal through the sysfs node.

MCDI tracing is conditional on CONFIG_SFC_MCDI_LOGGING, which is enabled by default. Each MCDI command will produce a console line like sfc dom:bus:dev:fn ifname: MCDI RPC REQ: xxxxxxxx [yyyyyyyy...] where xxxxxxxx etc. are the raw MCDI payload in 32-bit hex chunks. The response will then produce a similar line with "RESP" instead of "REQ", and containing the MCDI response payload (if any).

A long standing problem on busy servers is the tiny available TCP port range (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range) and the default sequential allocation of source ports in connect() system call. If a host is having a lot of active TCP sessions, chances are very high that all ports are in use by at least one flow, and subsequent bind(0) attempts fail, or have to scan a big portion of space to find a slot. In this patch, I changed the starting point in __inet_hash_connect() so that we try to favor even [1] ports, leaving odd ports for bind() users. We still perform a sequential search, so there is no guarantee, but if connect() targets are very different, end result is we leave more ports available to bind(), and we spread them all over the range, lowering time for both connect() and bind() to find a slot. This strategy only works well if /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range is even, ie if start/end values have different parity. Therefore, default /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range was changed to 32768 - 60999 (instead of 32768 - 61000) There is no change on security aspects here, only some poor hashing schemes could be eventually impacted by this change.

Florian Westphal says: ==================== net: force refragmentation for DF reassembed skbs output path tests: if (skb->len > mtu) ip_fragment() This breaks connectivity in one corner case: If the skb was reassembled, but has the DF bit set and .. .. its reassembled size is <= outdev mtu .. .. we will forward a DF packet larger than what the sender transmitted on wire. If a router later in the path can't forward this packet, it will send an icmp error in response to an mtu that the original sender never exceeded. This changes ipv4 defrag/output path to a) force refragmentation for DF reassembled skbs and b) set DF bit on all fragments when refragmenting if it was set on original frags. tested via: from scapy.all import * dip="10.23.42.2" payload="A"*1400 packet=IP(dst=dip,id=12345,flags='DF')/UDP(sport=42,dport=42)/payload frags=fragment(packet,fragsize=1200) for fragment in frags: send(fragment) Without this patch, we generate fragments without df bit set based on the outgoing device mtu when fragmenting after forwarding, ie. IP (ttl 64, id 12345, offset 0, flags [+, DF], proto UDP (17), length 1204) 192.168.7.1.42 > 10.23.42.2.42: UDP, length 1400 IP (ttl 64, id 12345, offset 1184, flags [DF], proto UDP (17), length 244) 192.168.7.1 > 10.23.42.2: ip-proto-17 on ingress will either turn into IP (ttl 63, id 12345, offset 0, flags [+], proto UDP (17), length 1396) 192.168.7.1.42 > 10.23.42.2.42: UDP, length 1400 IP (ttl 63, id 12345, offset 1376, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 52) (mtu 1400: We strip df and send larger fragment), or IP (ttl 63, id 12345, offset 0, flags [DF], proto UDP (17), length 1428) 192.168.7.1.42 > 10.23.42.2.42: [udp sum ok] UDP, length 1400 if mtu is 1500. And in this case things break; router with a smaller mtu will send icmp error, but original sender only sent packets <= 1204 byte. With patch, we keep intent of such fragments and will emit DF-fragments that won't exceed 1204 byte in size. Joint work with Hannes Frederic Sowa.

We currently always send fragments without DF bit set. Thus, given following setup: mtu1500 - mtu1500:1400 - mtu1400:1280 - mtu1280 A R1 R2 B Where R1 and R2 run linux with netfilter defragmentation/conntrack enabled, then if Host A sent a fragmented packet _with_ DF set to B, R1 will respond with icmp too big error if one of these fragments exceeded 1400 bytes. However, if R1 receives fragment sizes 1200 and 100, it would forward the reassembled packet without refragmenting, i.e. R2 will send an icmp error in response to a packet that was never sent, citing mtu that the original sender never exceeded. The other minor issue is that a refragmentation on R1 will conceal the MTU of R2-B since refragmentation does not set DF bit on the fragments. This modifies ip_fragment so that we track largest fragment size seen both for DF and non-DF packets, and set frag_max_size to the largest value. If the DF fragment size is larger or equal to the non-df one, we will consider the packet a path mtu probe: We set DF bit on the reassembled skb and also tag it with a new IPCB flag to force refragmentation even if skb fits outdev mtu. We will also set DF bit on each fragment in this case. Joint work with Hannes Frederic Sowa.

In commit dd3f9e70 ("tipc: add packet sequence number at instant of transmission") we made a change with the consequence that packets in the link backlog queue don't contain valid sequence numbers. However, when we create a link protocol message, we still use the sequence number of the first packet in the backlog, if there is any, as "next_sent" indicator in the message. This may entail unnecessary retransissions or stale packet transmission when there is very low traffic on the link. This commit fixes this issue by only using the current value of tipc_link::snd_nxt as indicator. Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Network managers like netifd (used in OpenWRT for instance) try to configure interface options after creation but before setting the interface up. Unfortunately the sysfs / bridge currently only allows to configure the hash_max and multicast_router options when the bridge interface is up. But since br_multicast_init() doesn't start any timers and only sets default values and initializes timers it should be save to reconfigure the default values after that, before things actually get active after the bridge is set up.

since commit 6aafeef0 ("netfilter: push reasm skb through instead of original frag skbs") we will end up sometimes re-fragmenting skbs that we've reassembled. ipv6 defrag preserves the original skbs using the skb frag list, i.e. as long as the skb frag list is preserved there is no problem since we keep original geometry of fragments intact. However, in the rare case where the frag list is munged or skb is linearized, we might send larger fragments than what we originally received. A router in the path might then send packet-too-big errors even if sender never sent fragments exceeding the reported mtu: mtu 1500 - 1500:1400 - 1400:1280 - 1280 A R1 R2 B 1 - A sends to B, fragment size 1400 2 - R2 sends pkttoobig error for 1280 3 - A sends to B, fragment size 1280 4 - R2 sends pkttoobig error for 1280 again because it sees fragments of size 1400. make sure ip6_fragment always caps MTU at largest packet size seen when defragmented skb is forwarded.

Clean up the ipv6_select_ident() and ip6_fragment(). - Further simplify the newly added rt6_get_pcpu_route(). If there is a 'prev' after cmpxchg, return prev instead of the newly created percpu clone. v3 -> v4: - Patch 8 is new. It keeps track of the DST_NOCACHE routes in a list to handle the iface down/unregister event. - Remove rcu from the newly added rt6i_pcpu variable. It is not needed because it has already been protected by the existing reader/writer lock. - Thanks to 'Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg>' for testing the FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH patches. v2 -> v3: - Patch 5 to 7 are new. They take care of cases where the daddr in skb is not the one used to do the route look-up. There is also related changes to rt6_nexthop() since v2 which is in patch 2/9. Thanks to 'Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg>' for pointing it out. - Fix a few problems in __ip6_rt_update_pmtu(), like setting the expire and mtu before inserting to the tree and don't do dst_destroy() after tree insertion failure. Also update the rt6i_pmtu in fib6_add_rt2node(). Thanks to 'Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com>' for pointing it out. - Merge ip6_pmtu_rt_cache_alloc() into ip6_rt_cache_alloc(). v1 -> v2: - Move the /128 route bug fixes to another series (accepted). - Create a function for checking (rt6i_flags & (RTF_NONEXTHOP | RTF_GATEWAY)). - Avoid shuffling the skb network_header. Instead, change the function signature to take iph instead of skb. - Many Thanks to 'Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org>' on reviewing v1 and v2 and giving advice. --Martin ~~~ start: v1 compose message (with the out-dated parts removed) ~~~ This series is to avoid creating a RTF_CACHE route whenever we are consulting the fib6 tree with a new destination. Instead, only create RTF_CACHE route when we see a pmtu exception. Out of all ipv6 RTF_CACHE routes that are created, the percentage that has a different mtu is very small. In one of our end-user facing proxy server, only 1k out of 80k RTF_CACHE routes have a smaller MTU. For our DC traffic, there is no mtu exception. A large fib6 tree has problems like, 'ip -6 r show' takes a long time. gc may kick in too often. Also, when a service has restarted and a lot of new TCP conn requests come in, it creates pressure on the tree by inserting a lot of RTF_CACHE in a short time and it currently requires a write lock to do that. The first few patches are prep works to remove assumption that the returned rt is always RTF_CACHE. The patch 'ipv6: Only create RTF_CACHE routes after encountering pmtu exception' do the lazy RTF_CACHE route creation. The following patches added percpu rt to compensate the performance loss after doing the RTF_CACHE lazy creation. Here is some numbers of the udpflood test. The udpflood has been slightly modified to have a time limit instead of count limit. A /64 via gateway route is used for the test. Each udpflood uses 10000 dst addresses. The dst addresses of different udpflood processes do not overlap with each other. 1 16M 15M 10 61M 61M 20 65M 62M 40 88M 83M ~~~ end: v1 compose message ~~~ ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
