net: ipv4: move tcp_fastopen server side code to SipHash library

2019-06-17T20:56:26Z

Using a bare block cipher in non-crypto code is almost always a bad idea, not only for security reasons (and we've seen some examples of this in the kernel in the past), but also for performance reasons. In the TCP fastopen case, we call into the bare AES block cipher one or two times (depending on whether the connection is IPv4 or IPv6). On most systems, this results in a call chain such as crypto_cipher_encrypt_one(ctx, dst, src) crypto_cipher_crt(tfm)->cit_encrypt_one(crypto_cipher_tfm(tfm), ...); aesni_encrypt kernel_fpu_begin(); aesni_enc(ctx, dst, src); // asm routine kernel_fpu_end(); It is highly unlikely that the use of special AES instructions has a benefit in this case, especially since we are doing the above twice for IPv6 connections, instead of using a transform which can process the entire input in one go. We could switch to the cbcmac(aes) shash, which would at least get rid of the duplicated overhead in *some* cases (i.e., today, only arm64 has an accelerated implementation of cbcmac(aes), while x86 will end up using the generic cbcmac template wrapping the AES-NI cipher, which basically ends up doing exactly the above). However, in the given context, it makes more sense to use a light-weight MAC algorithm that is more suitable for the purpose at hand, such as SipHash. Since the output size of SipHash already matches our chosen value for TCP_FASTOPEN_COOKIE_SIZE, and given that it accepts arbitrary input sizes, this greatly simplifies the code as well. NOTE: Server farms backing a single server IP for load balancing purposes and sharing a single fastopen key will be adversely affected by this change unless all systems in the pool receive their kernel upgrades at the same time.

net: devlink: select NET_DEVLINK from drivers

2019-03-24T18:55:31Z

Some drivers are becoming more dependent on NET_DEVLINK being selected in configuration. With upcoming compat functions, the behavior would be wrong in case devlink was not compiled in. So make the drivers select NET_DEVLINK and rely on the functions being there, not just stubs. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: devlink: turn devlink into a built-in

2019-02-26T16:49:05Z

Being able to build devlink as a module causes growing pains. First all drivers had to add a meta dependency to make sure they are not built in when devlink is built as a module. Now we are struggling to invoke ethtool compat code reliably. Make devlink code built-in, users can still not build it at all but the dynamically loadable module option is removed.

bpf: make LWTUNNEL_BPF dependent on INET

2019-02-16T00:06:30Z

Lightweight tunnels are L3 constructs that are used with IP/IP6. For example, lwtunnel_xmit is called from ip_output.c and ip6_output.c only. Make the dependency explicit at least for LWT-BPF, as now they call into IP routing. V2: added "Reported-by" below.

net: convert bridge_nf to use skb extension infrastructure

2018-12-19T19:21:37Z

This converts the bridge netfilter (calling iptables hooks from bridge) facility to use the extension infrastructure. The bridge_nf specific hooks in skb clone and free paths are removed, they have been replaced by the skb_ext hooks that do the same as the bridge nf allocations hooks did.

sk_buff: add skb extension infrastructure

2018-12-19T19:21:37Z

This adds an optional extension infrastructure, with ispec (xfrm) and bridge netfilter as first users. objdiff shows no changes if kernel is built without xfrm and br_netfilter support. The third (planned future) user is Multipath TCP which is still out-of-tree. MPTCP needs to map logical mptcp sequence numbers to the tcp sequence numbers used by individual subflows. This DSS mapping is read/written from tcp option space on receive and written to tcp option space on transmitted tcp packets that are part of and MPTCP connection. Extending skb_shared_info or adding a private data field to skb fclones doesn't work for incoming skb, so a different DSS propagation method would be required for the receive side. mptcp has same requirements as secpath/bridge netfilter: 1. extension memory is released when the sk_buff is free'd. 2. data is shared after cloning an skb (clone inherits extension) 3. adding extension to an skb will COW the extension buffer if needed. The "MPTCP upstreaming" effort adds SKB_EXT_MPTCP extension to store the mapping for tx and rx processing. Two new members are added to sk_buff: 1. 'active_extensions' byte (filling a hole), telling which extensions are available for this skb. This has two purposes. a) avoids the need to initialize the pointer. b) allows to "delete" an extension by clearing its bit value in ->active_extensions. While it would be possible to store the active_extensions byte in the extension struct instead of sk_buff, there is one problem with this: When an extension has to be disabled, we can always clear the bit in skb->active_extensions. But in case it would be stored in the extension buffer itself, we might have to COW it first, if we are dealing with a cloned skb. On kmalloc failure we would be unable to turn an extension off. 2. extension pointer, located at the end of the sk_buff. If the active_extensions byte is 0, the pointer is undefined, it is not initialized on skb allocation. This adds extra code to skb clone and free paths (to deal with refcount/free of extension area) but this replaces similar code that manages skb->nf_bridge and skb->sp structs in the followup patches of the series. It is possible to add support for extensions that are not preseved on clones/copies. To do this, it would be needed to define a bitmask of all extensions that need copy/cow semantics, and change __skb_ext_copy() to check ->active_extensions & SKB_EXT_PRESERVE_ON_CLONE, then just set ->active_extensions to 0 on the new clone. This isn't done here because all extensions that get added here need the copy/cow semantics. v2: Allocate entire extension space using kmem_cache. Upside is that this allows better tracking of used memory, downside is that we will allocate more space than strictly needed in most cases (its unlikely that all extensions are active/needed at same time for same skb). The allocated memory (except the small extension header) is not cleared, so no additonal overhead aside from memory usage. Avoid atomic_dec_and_test operation on skb_ext_put() by using similar trick as kfree_skbmem() does with fclone_ref: If recount is 1, there is no concurrent user and we can free right away.

bpf, sockmap: convert to generic sk_msg interface

2018-10-15T19:23:19Z

Add a generic sk_msg layer, and convert current sockmap and later kTLS over to make use of it. While sk_buff handles network packet representation from netdevice up to socket, sk_msg handles data representation from application to socket layer. This means that sk_msg framework spans across ULP users in the kernel, and enables features such as introspection or filtering of data with the help of BPF programs that operate on this data structure. Latter becomes in particular useful for kTLS where data encryption is deferred into the kernel, and as such enabling the kernel to perform L7 introspection and policy based on BPF for TLS connections where the record is being encrypted after BPF has run and came to a verdict. In order to get there, first step is to transform open coding of scatter-gather list handling into a common core framework that subsystems can use. The code itself has been split and refactored into three bigger pieces: i) the generic sk_msg API which deals with managing the scatter gather ring, providing helpers for walking and mangling, transferring application data from user space into it, and preparing it for BPF pre/post-processing, ii) the plain sock map itself where sockets can be attached to or detached from; these bits are independent of i) which can now be used also without sock map, and iii) the integration with plain TCP as one protocol to be used for processing L7 application data (later this could e.g. also be extended to other protocols like UDP). The semantics are the same with the old sock map code and therefore no change of user facing behavior or APIs. While pursuing this work it also helped finding a number of bugs in the old sockmap code that we've fixed already in earlier commits. The test_sockmap kselftest suite passes through fine as well.

net: Introduce generic failover module

2018-05-29T02:59:54Z

The failover module provides a generic interface for paravirtual drivers to register a netdev and a set of ops with a failover instance. The ops are used as event handlers that get called to handle netdev register/ unregister/link change/name change events on slave pci ethernet devices with the same mac address as the failover netdev. This enables paravirtual drivers to use a VF as an accelerated low latency datapath. It also allows migration of VMs with direct attached VFs by failing over to the paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged. Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
