2022-04-27ipv6: make ip6_rt_gc_expire an atomic_tEric Dumazet1-2/+2
[ Upstream commit 9cb7c013420f98fa6fd12fc6a5dc055170c108db ] Reads and Writes to ip6_rt_gc_expire always have been racy, as syzbot reported lately [1] There is a possible risk of under-flow, leading to unexpected high value passed to fib6_run_gc(), although I have not observed this in the field. Hosts hitting ip6_dst_gc() very hard are under pretty bad state anyway.

2022-02-23ipv6: per-netns exclusive flowlabel checksWillem de Bruijn1-1/+2
commit 0b0dff5b3b98c5c7ce848151df9da0b3cdf0cc8b upstream. Ipv6 flowlabels historically require a reservation before use. Optionally in exclusive mode (e.g., user-private). Commit 59c820b2317f ("ipv6: elide flowlabel check if no exclusive leases exist") introduced a fastpath that avoids this check when no exclusive leases exist in the system, and thus any flowlabel use will be granted. That allows skipping the control operation to reserve a flowlabel entirely. Though with a warning if the fast path fails: This is an optimization. Robust applications still have to revert to requesting leases if the fast path fails due to an exclusive lease. Still, this is subtle. Better isolate network namespaces from each other. Flowlabels are per-netns. Also record per-netns whether exclusive leases are in use. Then behavior does not change based on activity in other netns.

2021-07-21ipv6: ioam: Data plane support for Pre-allocated TraceJustin Iurman1-0/+3
Implement support for processing the IOAM Pre-allocated Trace with IPv6, see [1] and [2]. Introduce a new IPv6 Hop-by-Hop TLV option, see IANA [3]. A new per-interface sysctl is introduced. The value is a boolean to accept (=1) or ignore (=0, by default) IPv6 IOAM options on ingress for an interface: - net.ipv6.conf.XXX.ioam6_enabled Two other sysctls are introduced to define IOAM IDs, represented by an integer. They are respectively per-namespace and per-interface: - net.ipv6.ioam6_id - net.ipv6.conf.XXX.ioam6_id The value of the first one represents the IOAM ID of the node itself (u32; max and default value = U32_MAX>>8, due to hop limit concatenation) while the other represents the IOAM ID of an interface (u16; max and default value = U16_MAX). Each "ioam6_id" sysctl has a "_wide" equivalent: - net.ipv6.ioam6_id_wide - net.ipv6.conf.XXX.ioam6_id_wide The value of the first one represents the wide IOAM ID of the node itself (u64; max and default value = U64_MAX>>8, due to hop limit concatenation) while the other represents the wide IOAM ID of an interface (u32; max and default value = U32_MAX). The use of short and wide equivalents is not exclusive, a deployment could choose to leverage both. For example, net.ipv6.conf.XXX.ioam6_id (short format) could be an identifier for a physical interface, whereas net.ipv6.conf.XXX.ioam6_id_wide (wide format) could be an identifier for a logical sub-interface. Documentation about new sysctls is provided at the end of this patchset. Two relativistic hash tables are used: one for IOAM namespaces, the other for IOAM schemas. A namespace can only have a single active schema and a schema can only be attached to a single namespace (1:1 relationship).

2021-05-18ipv6: Add a sysctl to control multipath hash fieldsIdo Schimmel1-1/+2
A subsequent patch will add a new multipath hash policy where the packet fields used for multipath hash calculation are determined by user space. This patch adds a sysctl that allows user space to set these fields. The packet fields are represented using a bitmask and are common between IPv4 and IPv6 to allow user space to use the same numbering across both protocols. For example, to hash based on standard 5-tuple: # sysctl -w net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields=0x0037 net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields = 0x0037 To avoid introducing holes in 'struct netns_sysctl_ipv6', move the 'bindv6only' field after the multipath hash fields. The kernel rejects unknown fields, for example: # sysctl -w net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields=0x1000 sysctl: setting key "net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields": Invalid argument Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2021-02-03net: ipv6: Emit notification when fib hardware flags are changedAmit Cohen1-0/+1
After installing a route to the kernel, user space receives an acknowledgment, which means the route was installed in the kernel, but not necessarily in hardware. The asynchronous nature of route installation in hardware can lead to a routing daemon advertising a route before it was actually installed in hardware. This can result in packet loss or mis-routed packets until the route is installed in hardware. It is also possible for a route already installed in hardware to change its action and therefore its flags. For example, a host route that is trapping packets can be "promoted" to perform decapsulation following the installation of an IPinIP/VXLAN tunnel. Emit RTM_NEWROUTE notifications whenever RTM_F_OFFLOAD/RTM_F_TRAP flags are changed. The aim is to provide an indication to user-space (e.g., routing daemons) about the state of the route in hardware. Introduce a sysctl that controls this behavior. Keep the default value at 0 (i.e., do not emit notifications) for several reasons: - Multiple RTM_NEWROUTE notification per-route might confuse existing routing daemons. - Convergence reasons in routing daemons. - The extra notifications will negatively impact the insertion rate. - Not all users are interested in these notifications. Move fib6_info_hw_flags_set() to C file because it is no longer a short function.

2019-04-19ipv6: Add rate limit mask for ICMPv6 messagesStephen Suryaputra1-0/+3
To make ICMPv6 closer to ICMPv4, add ratemask parameter. Since the ICMP message types use larger numeric values, a simple bitmask doesn't fit. I use large bitmap. The input and output are the in form of list of ranges. Set the default to rate limit all error messages but Packet Too Big. For Packet Too Big, use ratemask instead of hard-coded. There are functions where icmpv6_xrlim_allow() and icmpv6_global_allow() aren't called. This patch only adds them to icmpv6_echo_reply(). Rate limiting error messages is mandated by RFC 4443 but RFC 4890 says that it is also acceptable to rate limit informational messages. Thus, I removed the current hard-coded behavior of icmpv6_mask_allow() that doesn't rate limit informational messages. v2: Add dummy function proc_do_large_bitmap() if CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL isn't defined, expand the description in ip-sysctl.txt and remove unnecessary conditional before kfree(). v3: Inline the bitmap instead of dynamically allocated.

2018-10-12net/ipv6: Add knob to skip DELROUTE message on device downDavid Ahern1-0/+1
Another difference between IPv4 and IPv6 is the generation of RTM_DELROUTE notifications when a device is taken down (admin down) or deleted. IPv4 does not generate a message for routes evicted by the down or delete; IPv6 does. A NOS at scale really needs to avoid these messages and have IPv4 and IPv6 behave similarly, relying on userspace to handle link notifications and evict the routes. At this point existing user behavior needs to be preserved. Since notifications are a global action (not per app) the only way to preserve existing behavior and allow the messages to be skipped is to add a new sysctl (net/ipv6/route/skip_notify_on_dev_down) which can be set to disable the notificatioons. IPv6 route code already supports the option to skip the message (it is used for multipath routes for example). Besides the new sysctl we need to pass the skip_notify setting through the generic fib6_clean and fib6_walk functions to fib6_clean_node and to set skip_notify on calls to __ip_del_rt for the addrconf_ifdown path.

2018-04-25ipv6: sr: Compute flowlabel for outer IPv6 header of seg6 encap modeAhmed Abdelsalam1-0/+1
ECMP (equal-cost multipath) hashes are typically computed on the packets' 5-tuple(src IP, dst IP, src port, dst port, L4 proto). For encapsulated packets, the L4 data is not readily available and ECMP hashing will often revert to (src IP, dst IP). This will lead to traffic polarization on a single ECMP path, causing congestion and waste of network capacity. In IPv6, the 20-bit flow label field is also used as part of the ECMP hash. In the lack of L4 data, the hashing will be on (src IP, dst IP, flow label). Having a non-zero flow label is thus important for proper traffic load balancing when L4 data is unavailable (i.e., when packets are encapsulated). Currently, the seg6_do_srh_encap() function extracts the original packet's flow label and set it as the outer IPv6 flow label. There are two issues with this behaviour: a) There is no guarantee that the inner flow label is set by the source. b) If the original packet is not IPv6, the flow label will be set to zero (e.g., IPv4 or L2 encap). This patch adds a function, named seg6_make_flowlabel(), that computes a flow label from a given skb. It supports IPv6, IPv4 and L2 payloads, and leverages the per namespace 'seg6_flowlabel" sysctl value. The currently support behaviours are as follows: -1 set flowlabel to zero. 0 copy flowlabel from Inner paceket in case of Inner IPv6 (Set flowlabel to 0 in case IPv4/L2) 1 Compute the flowlabel using seg6_make_flowlabel() This patch has been tested for IPv6, IPv4, and L2 traffic.

2017-11-03ipv6: Implement limits on Hop-by-Hop and Destination optionsTom Herbert1-0/+4
RFC 8200 (IPv6) defines Hop-by-Hop options and Destination options extension headers. Both of these carry a list of TLVs which is only limited by the maximum length of the extension header (2048 bytes). By the spec a host must process all the TLVs in these options, however these could be used as a fairly obvious denial of service attack. I think this could in fact be a significant DOS vector on the Internet, one mitigating factor might be that many FWs drop all packets with EH (and obviously this is only IPv6) so an Internet wide attack might not be so effective (yet!). By my calculation, the worse case packet with TLVs in a standard 1500 byte MTU packet that would be processed by the stack contains 1282 invidual TLVs (including pad TLVS) or 724 two byte TLVs. I wrote a quick test program that floods a whole bunch of these packets to a host and sure enough there is substantial time spent in ip6_parse_tlv. These packets contain nothing but unknown TLVS (that are ignored), TLV padding, and bogus UDP header with zero payload length. 25.38% [kernel] [k] __fib6_clean_all 21.63% [kernel] [k] ip6_parse_tlv 4.21% [kernel] [k] __local_bh_enable_ip 2.18% [kernel] [k] ip6_pol_route.isra.39 1.98% [kernel] [k] fib6_walk_continue 1.88% [kernel] [k] _raw_write_lock_bh 1.65% [kernel] [k] dst_release This patch adds configurable limits to Destination and Hop-by-Hop options. There are three limits that may be set: - Limit the number of options in a Hop-by-Hop or Destination options extension header. - Limit the byte length of a Hop-by-Hop or Destination options extension header. - Disallow unrecognized options in a Hop-by-Hop or Destination options extension header. The limits are set in corresponding sysctls: ipv6.sysctl.max_dst_opts_cnt ipv6.sysctl.max_hbh_opts_cnt ipv6.sysctl.max_dst_opts_len ipv6.sysctl.max_hbh_opts_len If a max_*_opts_cnt is less than zero then unknown TLVs are disallowed. The number of known TLVs that are allowed is the absolute value of this number. If a limit is exceeded when processing an extension header the packet is dropped. Default values are set to 8 for options counts, and set to INT_MAX for maximum length. Note the choice to limit options to 8 is an arbitrary guess (roughly based on the fact that the stack supports three HBH options and just one destination option). These limits have being proposed in draft-ietf-6man-rfc6434-bis. Tested (by Martin Lau) I tested out 1 thread (i.e. one raw_udp process). I changed the net.ipv6.max_dst_(opts|hbh)_number between 8 to 2048. With sysctls setting to 2048, the softirq% is packed to 100%. With 8, the softirq% is almost unnoticable from mpstat. v2; - Code and documention cleanup. - Change references of RFC2460 to be RFC8200. - Add reference to RFC6434-bis where the limits will be in standard.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-08-25ipv6: Add sysctl for per namespace flow label reflectionJakub Sitnicki1-0/+1
Reflecting IPv6 Flow Label at server nodes is useful in environments that employ multipath routing to load balance the requests. As "IPv6 Flow Label Reflection" standard draft [1] points out - ICMPv6 PTB error messages generated in response to a downstream packets from the server can be routed by a load balancer back to the original server without looking at transport headers, if the server applies the flow label reflection. This enables the Path MTU Discovery past the ECMP router in load-balance or anycast environments where each server node is reachable by only one path. Introduce a sysctl to enable flow label reflection per net namespace for all newly created sockets. Same could be earlier achieved only per socket by setting the IPV6_FL_F_REFLECT flag for the IPV6_FLOWLABEL_MGR socket option.

The genetlink commands provide control over two different structures: tunnel source and HMAC data. The tunnel source is the source address that will be used by default when encapsulating packets into an outer IPv6 header + SRH. If the tunnel source is set to :: then an address of the outgoing interface will be selected as the source. The HMAC commands currently just return ENOTSUPP and will be implemented in a future patch.

2015-05-04ipv6: Flow label state rangesTom Herbert1-0/+1
This patch divides the IPv6 flow label space into two ranges: 0-7ffff is reserved for flow label manager, 80000-fffff will be used for creating auto flow labels (per RFC6438). This only affects how labels are set on transmit, it does not affect receive. This range split can be disbaled by systcl. Background: IPv6 flow labels have been an unmitigated disappointment thus far in the lifetime of IPv6. Support in HW devices to use them for ECMP is lacking, and OSes don't turn them on by default. If we had these we could get much better hashing in IPv6 networks without resorting to DPI, possibly eliminating some of the motivations to to define new encaps in UDP just for getting ECMP. Unfortunately, the initial specfications of IPv6 did not clarify how they are to be used. There has always been a vague concept that these can be used for ECMP, flow hashing, etc. and we do now have a good standard how to this in RFC6438. The problem is that flow labels can be either stateful or stateless (as in RFC6438), and we are presented with the possibility that a stateless label may collide with a stateful one. Attempts to split the flow label space were rejected in IETF. When we added support in Linux for RFC6438, we could not turn on flow labels by default due to this conflict. This patch splits the flow label space and should give us a path to enabling auto flow labels by default for all IPv6 packets. This is an API change so we need to consider compatibility with existing deployment. The stateful range is chosen to be the lower values in hopes that most uses would have chosen small numbers. Once we resolve the stateless/stateful issue, we can proceed to look at enabling RFC6438 flow labels by default (starting with scaled testing).

Joining multicast group on ethernet level via "ip maddr" command would not work if we have an Ethernet switch that does igmp snooping since the switch would not replicate multicast packets on ports that did not have IGMP reports for the multicast addresses. Linux vxlan interfaces created via "ip link add vxlan" have the group option that enables then to do the required join. By extending ip address command with option "autojoin" we can get similar functionality for openvswitch vxlan interfaces as well as other tunneling mechanisms that need to receive multicast traffic. The kernel code is structured similar to how the vxlan driver does a group join / leave. example: ip address add 224.1.1.10/24 dev eth5 autojoin ip address del 224.1.1.10/24 dev eth5 Signed-off-by: Madhu Challa <challa@noironetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-07-08ipv6: Implement automatic flow label generation on transmitTom Herbert1-0/+1
Automatically generate flow labels for IPv6 packets on transmit. The flow label is computed based on skb_get_hash. The flow label will only automatically be set when it is zero otherwise (i.e. flow label manager hasn't set one). This supports the transmit side functionality of RFC 6438. Added an IPv6 sysctl auto_flowlabels to enable/disable this behavior system wide, and added IPV6_AUTOFLOWLABEL socket option to enable this functionality per socket. By default, auto flowlabels are disabled to avoid possible conflicts with flow label manager, however if this feature proves useful we may want to enable it by default. It should also be noted that FreeBSD has already implemented automatic flow labels (including the sysctl and socket option). In FreeBSD, automatic flow labels default to enabled. Performance impact: Running super_netperf with 200 flows for TCP_RR and UDP_RR for IPv6. Note that in UDP case, __skb_get_hash will be called for every packet with explains slight regression. In the TCP case the hash is saved in the socket so there is no regression.
