2023-07-26af_packet: Fix warning of fortified memcpy() in packet_getname().Kuniyuki Iwashima1-1/+5
syzkaller found a warning in packet_getname() [0], where we try to copy 16 bytes to sockaddr_ll.sll_addr[8]. Some devices (ip6gre, vti6, ip6tnl) have 16 bytes address expressed by struct in6_addr. Also, Infiniband has 32 bytes as MAX_ADDR_LEN. The write seems to overflow, but actually not since we use struct sockaddr_storage defined in __sys_getsockname() and its size is 128 (_K_SS_MAXSIZE) bytes. Thus, we have sufficient room after sll_addr[] as __data[]. To avoid the warning, let's add a flex array member union-ed with sll_addr. Another option would be to use strncpy() and limit the copied length to sizeof(sll_addr), but it will return the partial address and break an application that passes sockaddr_storage to getsockname().

2023-04-21net/packet: support mergeable feature of virtioJianfeng Tan1-0/+1
Packet sockets, like tap, can be used as the backend for kernel vhost. In packet sockets, virtio net header size is currently hardcoded to be the size of struct virtio_net_hdr, which is 10 bytes; however, it is not always the case: some virtio features, such as mrg_rxbuf, need virtio net header to be 12-byte long. Mergeable buffers, as a virtio feature, is worthy of supporting: packets that are larger than one-mbuf size will be dropped in vhost worker's handle_rx if mrg_rxbuf feature is not used, but large packets cannot be avoided and increasing mbuf's size is not economical. With this virtio feature enabled by virtio-user, packet sockets with hardcoded 10-byte virtio net header will parse mac head incorrectly in packet_snd by taking the last two bytes of virtio net header as part of mac header. This incorrect mac header parsing will cause packet to be dropped due to invalid ether head checking in later under-layer device packet receiving. By adding extra field vnet_hdr_sz with utilizing holes in struct packet_sock to record currently used virtio net header size and supporting extra sockopt PACKET_VNET_HDR_SZ to set specified vnet_hdr_sz, packet sockets can know the exact length of virtio net header that virtio user gives. In packet_snd, tpacket_snd and packet_recvmsg, instead of using hardcoded virtio net header size, it can get the exact vnet_hdr_sz from corresponding packet_sock, and parse mac header correctly based on this information to avoid the packets being mistakenly dropped.

2022-10-29net/packet: add PACKET_FANOUT_FLAG_IGNORE_OUTGOINGWillem de Bruijn1-0/+1
Extend packet socket option PACKET_IGNORE_OUTGOING to fanout groups. The socket option sets ptype.ignore_outgoing, which makes dev_queue_xmit_nit skip the socket. When the socket joins a fanout group, the option is not reflected in the struct ptype of the group. dev_queue_xmit_nit only tests the fanout ptype, so the flag is ignored once a socket joins a fanout group. Inheriting the option from a socket would change established behavior. Different sockets in the group can set different flags, and can also change them at runtime. Testing in packet_rcv_fanout defeats the purpose of the original patch, which is to avoid skb_clone in dev_queue_xmit_nit (esp. for MSG_ZEROCOPY packets). Instead, introduce a new fanout group flag with the same behavior.

2018-09-06packet: add sockopt to ignore outgoing packetsVincent Whitchurch1-0/+1
Currently, the only way to ignore outgoing packets on a packet socket is via the BPF filter. With MSG_ZEROCOPY, packets that are looped into AF_PACKET are copied in dev_queue_xmit_nit(), and this copy happens even if the filter run from packet_rcv() would reject them. So the presence of a packet socket on the interface takes away the benefits of MSG_ZEROCOPY, even if the packet socket is not interested in outgoing packets. (Even when MSG_ZEROCOPY is not used, the skb is unnecessarily cloned, but the cost for that is much lower.) Add a socket option to allow AF_PACKET sockets to ignore outgoing packets to solve this. Note that the *BSDs already have something similar: BIOCSSEESENT/BIOCSDIRECTION and BIOCSDIRFILT. The first intended user is lldpd.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no ↵Greg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
license Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default are files without license information under the default license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception which is in the kernels COPYING file: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". otherwise syscall usage would not be possible. Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are 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. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.

2017-04-24packet: add PACKET_FANOUT_FLAG_UNIQUEID to assign new fanout group id.Mike Maloney1-0/+1
Fanout uses a per net global namespace. A process that intends to create a new fanout group can accidentally join an existing group. It is not possible to detect this. Add socket option PACKET_FANOUT_FLAG_UNIQUEID. When specified the supplied fanout group id must be set to 0, and the kernel chooses an id that is not already in use. This is an ephemeral flag so that other sockets can be added to this group using setsockopt, but NOT specifying this flag. The current getsockopt(..., PACKET_FANOUT, ...) can be used to retrieve the new group id. We assume that there are not a lot of fanout groups and that this is not a high frequency call. The method assigns ids starting at zero and increases until it finds an unused id. It keeps track of the last assigned id, and uses it as a starting point to find new ids.

2013-12-31netlink: specify netlink packet direction for nlmonDaniel Borkmann1-1/+3
In order to facilitate development for netlink protocol dissector, fill the unused field skb->pkt_type of the cloned skb with a hint of the address space of the new owner (receiver) socket in the notion of "to kernel" resp. "to user". At the time we invoke __netlink_deliver_tap_skb(), we already have set the new skb owner via netlink_skb_set_owner_r(), so we can use that for netlink_is_kernel() probing. In normal PF_PACKET network traffic, this field denotes if the packet is destined for us (PACKET_HOST), if it's broadcast (PACKET_BROADCAST), etc. As we only have 3 bit reserved, we can use the value (= 6) of PACKET_FASTROUTE as it's _not used_ anywhere in the whole kernel and not supported anywhere, and packets of such type were never exposed to user space, so there are no overlapping users of such kind. Thus, as wished, that seems the only way to make both PACKET_* values non-overlapping and therefore device agnostic. By using those two flags for netlink skbs on nlmon devices, they can be made available and picked up via sll_pkttype (previously unused in netlink context) in struct sockaddr_ll. We now have these two directions: - PACKET_USER (= 6) -> to user space - PACKET_KERNEL (= 7) -> to kernel space Partial `ip a` example strace for sa_family=AF_NETLINK with detected nl msg direction: syscall: direction: sendto(3, ...) = 40 /* to kernel */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 3404 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 1120 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 20 /* to user */ sendto(3, ...) = 40 /* to kernel */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 168 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 144 /* to user */ recvmsg(3, ...) = 20 /* to user */ Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Zawadzki <darkjames-ws@darkjames.pl> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-12-10packet: introduce PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket optionDaniel Borkmann1-0/+1
This patch introduces a PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket option, that allows for using a similar xmit() function as in pktgen instead of taking the dev_queue_xmit() path. This can be very useful when PF_PACKET applications are required to be used in a similar scenario as pktgen, but with full, flexible packet payload that needs to be provided, for example. On default, nothing changes in behaviour for normal PF_PACKET TX users, so everything stays as is for applications. New users, however, can now set PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS if needed to prevent own packets from i) reentering packet_rcv() and ii) to directly push the frame to the driver. In doing so we can increase pps (here 64 byte packets) for PF_PACKET a bit: # CPUs -- QDISC_BYPASS -- qdisc path -- qdisc path[**] 1 CPU == 1,509,628 pps -- 1,208,708 -- 1,247,436 2 CPUs == 3,198,659 pps -- 2,536,012 -- 1,605,779 3 CPUs == 4,787,992 pps -- 3,788,740 -- 1,735,610 4 CPUs == 6,173,956 pps -- 4,907,799 -- 1,909,114 5 CPUs == 7,495,676 pps -- 5,956,499 -- 2,014,422 6 CPUs == 9,001,496 pps -- 7,145,064 -- 2,155,261 7 CPUs == 10,229,776 pps -- 8,190,596 -- 2,220,619 8 CPUs == 11,040,732 pps -- 9,188,544 -- 2,241,879 9 CPUs == 12,009,076 pps -- 10,275,936 -- 2,068,447 10 CPUs == 11,380,052 pps -- 11,265,337 -- 1,578,689 11 CPUs == 11,672,676 pps -- 11,845,344 -- 1,297,412 [...] 20 CPUs == 11,363,192 pps -- 11,014,933 -- 1,245,081 [**]: qdisc path with packet_rcv(), how probably most people seem to use it (hopefully not anymore if not needed) The test was done using a modified trafgen, sending a simple static 64 bytes packet, on all CPUs. The trick in the fast "qdisc path" case, is to avoid reentering packet_rcv() by setting the RAW socket protocol to zero, like: socket(PF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, 0); Tradeoffs are documented as well in this patch, clearly, if queues are busy, we will drop more packets, tc disciplines are ignored, and these packets are not visible to taps anymore. For a pktgen like scenario, we argue that this is acceptable.

Currently, there is no way to find out which timestamp is reported in tpacket{,2,3}_hdr's tp_sec, tp_{n,u}sec members. It can be one of SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE, SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE, SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE, or a fallback variant late call from the PF_PACKET code in software. Therefore, report in the tp_status member of the ring buffer which timestamp has been reported for RX and TX path. This should not break anything for the following reasons: i) in RX ring path, the user needs to test for tp_status & TP_STATUS_USER, and later for other flags as well such as TP_STATUS_VLAN_VALID et al, so adding other flags will do no harm; ii) in TX ring path, time stamps with PACKET_TIMESTAMP socketoption are not available resp. had no effect except that the application setting this is buggy. Next to TP_STATUS_AVAILABLE, the user also should check for other flags such as TP_STATUS_WRONG_FORMAT to reclaim frames to the application. Thus, in case TX ts are turned off (default case), nothing happens to the application logic, and in case we want to use this new feature, we now can also check which of the ts source is reported in the status field as provided in the docs.

Changes: v3->v2: rebase (no other changes) passes selftest v2->v1: read f->num_members only once fix bug: test rollover mode + flag Minimize packet drop in a fanout group. If one socket is full, roll over packets to another from the group. Maintain flow affinity during normal load using an rxhash fanout policy, while dispersing unexpected traffic storms that hit a single cpu, such as spoofed-source DoS flows. Rollover breaks affinity for flows arriving at saturated sockets during those conditions. The patch adds a fanout policy ROLLOVER that rotates between sockets, filling each socket before moving to the next. It also adds a fanout flag ROLLOVER. If passed along with any other fanout policy, the primary policy is applied until the chosen socket is full. Then, rollover selects another socket, to delay packet drop until the entire system is saturated. Probing sockets is not free. Selecting the last used socket, as rollover does, is a greedy approach that maximizes chance of success, at the cost of extreme load imbalance. In practice, with sufficiently long queues to absorb bursts, sockets are drained in parallel and load balance looks uniform in `top`. To avoid contention, scales counters with number of sockets and accesses them lockfree. Values are bounds checked to ensure correctness. Tested using an application with 9 threads pinned to CPUs, one socket per thread and sufficient busywork per packet operation to limits each thread to handling 32 Kpps. When sent 500 Kpps single UDP stream packets, a FANOUT_CPU setup processes 32 Kpps in total without this patch, 270 Kpps with the patch. Tested with read() and with a packet ring (V1).
