2018-04-01net: Do not take net_rwsem in __rtnl_link_unregister()Kirill Tkhai1-0/+2
This function calls call_netdevice_notifier(), which also may take net_rwsem. So, we can't use net_rwsem here. This patch makes callers of this functions take pernet_ops_rwsem, like register_netdevice_notifier() does. This will protect the modifications of net_namespace_list, and allows notifiers to take it (they won't have to care about context). Since __rtnl_link_unregister() is used on module load and unload (which are not frequent operations), this looks for me better, than make all call_netdevice_notifier() always executing in "protected net_namespace_list" context. Also, this fixes the problem we had a deal in 328fbe747ad4 "Close race between {un, }register_netdevice_notifier and ...", and guarantees __rtnl_link_unregister() does not skip exitting net.

2017-09-26net: remove MTU limits for dummy and ifb deviceZhang Shengju1-0/+3
These two drivers (dummy and ifb) call ether_setup(), after commit 61e84623ace3 ("net: centralize net_device min/max MTU checking"), the range of mtu is [min_mtu, max_mtu], which is [68, 1500] by default. These two devices should not have limits on MTU. This patch set their min_mtu/max_mtu to 0. So that dev_set_mtu() will not check the mtu range, and can be set with any value.

2017-06-07net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.David S. Miller1-2/+2
Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources can occur in one of two different places. Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor(). The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it is safe to perform the freeing. netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast address lists are flushed. netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the netdev references all go away. Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor() almost universally does also a free_netdev(). This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice(). Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice() fails. If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor(). This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same. However, this means that the resources that would normally be released by netdev->destructor() will not be. Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice() fails. Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks. Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev(). netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for free_netdev(). netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice(). Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit() and netdev->priv_destructor(). And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2017-01-09net-tc: convert tc_from to tc_from_ingress and tc_redirectedWillem de Bruijn1-8/+5
The tc_from field fulfills two roles. It encodes whether a packet was redirected by an act_mirred device and, if so, whether act_mirred was called on ingress or egress. Split it into separate fields. The information is needed by the special IFB loop, where packets are taken out of the normal path by act_mirred, forwarded to IFB, then reinjected at their original location (ingress or egress) by IFB. The IFB device cannot use skb->tc_at_ingress, because that may have been overwritten as the packet travels from act_mirred to ifb_xmit, when it passes through tc_classify on the IFB egress path. Cache this value in skb->tc_from_ingress. That field is valid only if a packet arriving at ifb_xmit came from act_mirred. Other packets can be crafted to reach ifb_xmit. These must be dropped. Set tc_redirected on redirection and drop all packets that do not have this bit set. Both fields are set only on cloned skbs in tc actions, so original packet sources do not have to clear the bit when reusing packets (notably, pktgen and octeon).

Where possible, use existing helper skb_at_tc_ingress when reading tc_at. Introduce helper skb_reset_tc to clear fields. Not documenting tc_from and tc_at, because they will be replaced with single bit fields in follow-on patches. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-01-09net-tc: extract skip classify bit from tc_verdWillem de Bruijn1-1/+1
Packets sent by the IFB device skip subsequent tc classification. A single bit governs this state. Move it out of tc_verd in anticipation of removing that __u16 completely. The new bitfield tc_skip_classify temporarily uses one bit of a hole, until tc_verd is removed completely in a follow-up patch. Remove the bit hole comment. It could be 2, 3, 4 or 5 bits long. With that many options, little value in documenting it. Introduce a helper function to deduplicate the logic in the two sites that check this bit. The field tc_skip_classify is set only in IFB on skbs cloned in act_mirred, so original packet sources do not have to clear the bit when reusing packets (notably, pktgen and octeon).

2015-04-17act_mirred: Fix bogus header when redirecting from VLANHerbert Xu1-1/+1
When you redirect a VLAN device to any device, you end up with crap in af_packet on the xmit path because hard_header_len is not equal to skb->mac_len. So the redirected packet contains four extra bytes at the start which then gets interpreted as part of the MAC address. This patch fixes this by only pushing skb->mac_len. We also need to fix ifb because it tries to undo the pushing done by act_mirred.

2014-10-07net: better IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE supportEric Dumazet1-1/+2
Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets, I found strange dst refcount false sharing. Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal. Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit() before even taking qdisc lock. As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some packet schedulers or classifiers. This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers or qdiscs/classifiers. Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call following helper in their setup instead of the prior : dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE; -> netif_keep_dst(dev); Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers. The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something smarter later.

2013-11-06net: Explicitly initialize u64_stats_sync structures for lockdepJohn Stultz1-0/+5
In order to enable lockdep on seqcount/seqlock structures, we must explicitly initialize any locks. The u64_stats_sync structure, uses a seqcount, and thus we need to introduce a u64_stats_init() function and use it to initialize the structure. This unfortunately adds a lot of fairly trivial initialization code to a number of drivers. But the benefit of ensuring correctness makes this worth while. Because these changes are required for lockdep to be enabled, and the changes are quite trivial, I've not yet split this patch out into 30-some separate patches, as I figured it would be better to get the various maintainers thoughts on how to best merge this change along with the seqcount lockdep enablement.

rq and tq are both protected by tx queue lock, so we can simply use the lockless variants of skb_queue. skb_queue_splice_tail_init() is used instead of the open coded and slow one.

2010-12-08ifb: goto resched directly if error happens and dp->tq isn't emptyChangli Gao1-0/+2
If we break the loop when there are still skbs in tq and no skb in rq, the skbs will be left in txq until new skbs are enqueued into rq. In rare cases, no new skb is queued, then these skbs will stay in rq forever. After this patch, if tq isn't empty when we break the loop, we goto resched directly.

This patch converts the remaining occurences of raw return values to their symbolic counterparts in ndo_start_xmit() functions that were missed by the previous automatic conversion.

2009-05-19net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()Eric Dumazet1-0/+1
One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb). CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device, since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs. It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions. David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq() (so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit(). List of devices that must clear this flag is : - loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick : "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets already need to have a dst_entry attached." - appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function - And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function (as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-08-01netdev: Fix lockdep warnings in multiqueue configurations.David S. Miller1-5/+7
When support for multiple TX queues were added, the netif_tx_lock() routines we converted to iterate over all TX queues and grab each queue's spinlock. This causes heartburn for lockdep and it's not a healthy thing to do with lots of TX queues anyways. So modify this to use a top-level lock and a "frozen" state for the individual TX queues.

2008-07-18netdev: Allocate multiple queues for TX.David S. Miller1-3/+9
alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument. Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue() interfaces. This makes it easy to grep the tree for all things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device. Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.
