netfilter: push reasm skb through instead of original frag skbs

2013-11-11T05:19:35Z

Pushing original fragments through causes several problems. For example for matching, frags may not be matched correctly. Take following example: On HOSTA do: ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -j DROP ip6tables -I INPUT -p icmpv6 -m icmp6 --icmpv6-type 128 -j ACCEPT and on HOSTB you do: ping6 HOSTA -s2000 (MTU is 1500) Incoming echo requests will be filtered out on HOSTA. This issue does not occur with smaller packets than MTU (where fragmentation does not happen) As was discussed previously, the only correct solution seems to be to use reassembled skb instead of separete frags. Doing this has positive side effects in reducing sk_buff by one pointer (nfct_reasm) and also the reams dances in ipvs and conntrack can be removed. Future plan is to remove net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_reasm.c entirely and use code in net/ipv6/reassembly.c instead.

ipvs: avoid rcu_barrier during netns cleanup

2013-10-15T01:36:01Z

commit 578bc3ef1e473a ("ipvs: reorganize dest trash") added rcu_barrier() on cleanup to wait dest users and schedulers like LBLC and LBLCR to put their last dest reference. Using rcu_barrier with many namespaces is problematic. Trying to fix it by freeing dest with kfree_rcu is not a solution, RCU callbacks can run in parallel and execution order is random. Fix it by creating new function ip_vs_dest_put_and_free() which is heavier than ip_vs_dest_put(). We will use it just for schedulers like LBLC, LBLCR that can delay their dest release. By default, dests reference is above 0 if they are present in service and it is 0 when deleted but still in trash list. Change the dest trash code to use ip_vs_dest_put_and_free(), so that refcnt -1 can be used for freeing. As result, such checks remain in slow path and the rcu_barrier() from netns cleanup can be removed. Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: Simon Horman

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

Conflicts: drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be.h drivers/net/usb/qmi_wwan.c drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/dhd_bus.h include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_synproxy.h include/net/secure_seq.h The conflicts are of two varieties: 1) Conflicts with Joe Perches's 'extern' removal from header file function declarations. Usually it's an argument signature change or a function being added/removed. The resolutions are trivial. 2) Some overlapping changes in qmi_wwan.c and be.h, one commit adds a new value, another changes an existing value. That sort of thing. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ip*.h: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-09-21T18:01:38Z

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

ipvs: make the service replacement more robust

2013-09-18T19:39:03Z

commit 578bc3ef1e473a ("ipvs: reorganize dest trash") added IP_VS_DEST_STATE_REMOVING flag and RCU callback named ip_vs_dest_wait_readers() to keep dests and services after removal for at least a RCU grace period. But we have the following corner cases: - we can not reuse the same dest if its service is removed while IP_VS_DEST_STATE_REMOVING is still set because another dest removal in the first grace period can not extend this period. It can happen when ipvsadm -C && ipvsadm -R is used. - dest->svc can be replaced but ip_vs_in_stats() and ip_vs_out_stats() have no explicit read memory barriers when accessing dest->svc. It can happen that dest->svc was just freed (replaced) while we use it to update the stats. We solve the problems as follows: - IP_VS_DEST_STATE_REMOVING is removed and we ensure a fixed idle period for the dest (IP_VS_DEST_TRASH_PERIOD). idle_start will remember when for first time after deletion we noticed dest->refcnt=0. Later, the connections can grab a reference while in RCU grace period but if refcnt becomes 0 we can safely free the dest and its svc. - dest->svc becomes RCU pointer. As result, we add explicit RCU locking in ip_vs_in_stats() and ip_vs_out_stats(). - __ip_vs_unbind_svc is renamed to __ip_vs_svc_put(), it now can free the service immediately or after a RCU grace period. dest->svc is not set to NULL anymore. As result, unlinked dests and their services are freed always after IP_VS_DEST_TRASH_PERIOD period, unused services are freed after a RCU grace period.

ipvs: fix overflow on dest weight multiply

2013-09-18T19:38:53Z

Schedulers such as lblc and lblcr require the weight to be as high as the maximum number of active connections. In commit b552f7e3a9524abcbcdf ("ipvs: unify the formula to estimate the overhead of processing connections"), the consideration of inactconns and activeconns was cleaned up to always count activeconns as 256 times more important than inactconns. In cases where 3000 or more connections are expected, a weight of 3000 * 256 * 3000 connections overflows the 32-bit signed result used to determine if rescheduling is required. On amd64, this merely changes the multiply and comparison instructions to 64-bit. On x86, a 64-bit result is already present from imull, so only a few more comparison instructions are emitted.

ipvs: replace the SCTP state machine

2013-06-26T09:01:46Z

Convert the SCTP state table, so that it is more readable. Change the states to be according to the diagram in RFC 2960 and add more states suitable for middle box. Still, such change in states adds incompatibility if systems in sync setup include this change and others do not include it. With this change we also have proper transitions in INPUT-ONLY mode (DR/TUN) where we see packets only from client. Now we should not switch to 10-second CLOSED state at a time when we should stay in ESTABLISHED state. The short names for states are because we have 16-char space in ipvsadm and 11-char limit for the connection list format. It is a sequence of the TCP implementation where the longest state name is ESTABLISHED. Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: Simon Horman

ipvs: sloppy TCP and SCTP

2013-06-26T09:01:46Z

This adds support for sloppy TCP and SCTP modes to IPVS. When enabled (sysctls net.ipv4.vs.sloppy_tcp and net.ipv4.vs.sloppy_sctp), allows IPVS to create connection state on any packet, not just a TCP SYN (or SCTP INIT). This allows connections to fail over from one IPVS director to another mid-flight. Signed-off-by: Alexander Frolkin Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov Signed-off-by: Simon Horman
