Currently nf_tables will traverse the entire table (chain graph), starting
from the entry points (base chains), exploring all possible paths
(chain jumps). But there are cases where we could avoid revalidation.
Consider:
1 input -> j2 -> j3
2 input -> j2 -> j3
3 input -> j1 -> j2 -> j3
Then the second rule does not need to revalidate j2, and, by extension j3,
because this was already checked during validation of the first rule.
We need to validate it only for rule 3.
This is needed because chain loop detection also ensures we do not exceed
the jump stack: Just because we know that j2 is cycle free, its last jump
might now exceed the allowed stack size. We also need to update all
reachable chains with the new largest observed call depth.
Care has to be taken to revalidate even if the chain depth won't be an
issue: chain validation also ensures that expressions are not called from
invalid base chains. For example, the masquerade expression can only be
called from NAT postrouting base chains.
Therefore we also need to keep record of the base chain context (type,
hooknum) and revalidate if the chain becomes reachable from a different
hook location.

We have been seeing occasional deadlocks on pernet_ops_rwsem since
September in NIPA. The stuck task was usually modprobe (often loading
a driver like ipvlan), trying to take the lock as a Writer.
lockdep does not track readers for rwsems so the read wasn't obvious
from the reports.
On closer inspection the Reader holding the lock was conntrack looping
forever in nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list(). Based on past experience
with occasional NIPA crashes I looked thru the tests which run before
the crash and noticed that the crash follows ip_defrag.sh. An immediate
red flag. Scouring thru (de)fragmentation queues reveals skbs sitting
around, holding conntrack references.
The problem is that since conntrack depends on nf_defrag_ipv6,
nf_defrag_ipv6 will load first. Since nf_defrag_ipv6 loads first its
netns exit hooks run _after_ conntrack's netns exit hook.
Flush all fragment queue SKBs during fqdir_pre_exit() to release
conntrack references before conntrack cleanup runs. Also flush
the queues in timer expiry handlers when they discover fqdir->dead
is set, in case packet sneaks in while we're running the pre_exit
flush.
The commit under Fixes is not exactly the culprit, but I think
previously the timer firing would eventually unblock the spinning
conntrack.

It turns out that HSR offloads are so fine-grained that many DSA
switches can do a small part even though they weren't specifically
designed for the protocols supported by that driver (HSR and PRP).
Specifically NETIF_F_HW_HSR_DUP - it is simple packet duplication on
transmit, towards all (aka 2) ports members of the HSR device.
For many DSA switches, we know how to duplicate a packet, even though we
never typically use that feature. The transmit port mask from the
tagging protocol can have multiple bits set, and the switch should send
the packet once to every port with a bit set from that mask.
Nonetheless, not all tagging protocols are like this, and sometimes the
port is a single numeric value rather than a bit mask. For that reason,
and also because switches can sometimes change tagging protocols for
different ones, we need to make HSR offload helpers opt-in.
For devices that can do nothing else HSR-specific, we introduce
dsa_port_simple_hsr_join() and dsa_port_simple_hsr_leave(). These
functions monitor when two user ports of the same switch are part of the
same HSR device, and when that condition is true, they toggle the
NETIF_F_HW_HSR_DUP feature flag of both net devices.
Normally only dsa_port_simple_hsr_join() and dsa_port_simple_hsr_leave()
are needed. The dsa_port_simple_hsr_validate() helper is just to see
what kind of configuration could be offloadable using the generic
helpers. This is used by switch drivers which are not currently using
the right tagging protocol to offload this HSR ring, but could in
principle offload it after changing the tagger.

Netfilter updates for net-next
The following batch contains Netfilter updates for net-next:
0) Add sanity check for maximum encapsulations in bridge vlan,
reported by the new AI robot.
1) Move the flowtable path discovery code to its own file, the
nft_flow_offload.c mixes the nf_tables evaluation with the path
discovery logic, just split this in two for clarity.
2) Consolidate flowtable xmit path by using dev_queue_xmit() and the
real device behind the layer 2 vlan/pppoe device. This allows to
inline encapsulation. After this update, hw_ifidx can be removed
since both ifidx and hw_ifidx now point to the same device.
3) Support for IPIP encapsulation in the flowtable, extend selftest
to cover for this new layer 3 offload, from Lorenzo Bianconi.
4) Push down the skb into the conncount API to fix duplicates in the
conncount list for packets with non-confirmed conntrack entries,
this is due to an optimization introduced in d265929930
("netfilter: nf_conncount: reduce unnecessary GC").
From Fernando Fernandez Mancera.
5) In conncount, disable BH when performing garbage collection
to consolidate existing behaviour in the conncount API, also
from Fernando.
6) A matching packet with a confirmed conntrack invokes GC if
conncount reaches the limit in an attempt to release slots.
This allows the existing extensions to be used for real conntrack
counting, not just limiting new connections, from Fernando.
7) Support for updating ct count objects in nf_tables, from Fernando.
8) Extend nft_flowtables.sh selftest to send IPv6 TCP traffic,
from Lorenzo Bianconi.
9) Fixes for UAPI kernel-doc documentation, from Randy Dunlap.

When using nf_conncount infrastructure for non-confirmed connections a
duplicated track is possible due to an optimization introduced since
commit d265929930 ("netfilter: nf_conncount: reduce unnecessary GC").
In order to fix this introduce a new conncount API that receives
directly an sk_buff struct. It fetches the tuple and zone and the
corresponding ct from it. It comes with both existing conncount variants
nf_conncount_count_skb() and nf_conncount_add_skb(). In addition remove
the old API and adjust all the users to use the new one.
This way, for each sk_buff struct it is possible to check if there is a
ct present and already confirmed. If so, skip the add operation.

Introduce sw acceleration for rx path of IPIP tunnels relying on the
netfilter flowtable infrastructure. Subsequent patches will add sw
acceleration for IPIP tunnels tx path.
This series introduces basic infrastructure to accelerate other tunnel
types (e.g. IP6IP6).
IPIP rx sw acceleration can be tested running the following scenario where
the traffic is forwarded between two NICs (eth0 and eth1) and an IPIP
tunnel is used to access a remote site (using eth1 as the underlay device):
ETH0 -- TUN0 <==> ETH1 -- [IP network] -- TUN1 (192.168.100.2)
$ip addr show
6: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000

devices = { eth0, eth1 }
}
chain forward {

meta l4proto { tcp, udp } flow add @ft
}
}
Reproducing the scenario described above using veths I got the following
results:
- TCP stream received from the IPIP tunnel:
- net-next: (baseline) ~ 71Gbps
- net-next + IPIP flowtbale support: ~101Gbps

hw_ifidx was originally introduced to store the real netdevice as a
requirement for the hardware offload support in:
73f97025a9 ("netfilter: nft_flow_offload: use direct xmit if hardware offload is enabled")
Since ("netfilter: flowtable: consolidate xmit path"), ifidx and
hw_ifidx points to the real device in the xmit path, remove it.

Use dev_queue_xmit() for the XMIT_NEIGH case. Store the interface index
of the real device behind the vlan/pppoe device, this introduces an
extra lookup for the real device in the xmit path because rt->dst.dev
provides the vlan/pppoe device.
XMIT_NEIGH now looks more similar to XMIT_DIRECT but the check for stale
dst and the neighbour lookup still remain in place which is convenient
to deal with network topology changes.
Note that nft_flow_route() needs to relax the check for _XMIT_NEIGH so
the existing basic xfrm offload (which only works in one direction) does
not break.

This file contains the path discovery that is run from the forward chain
for the packet offloading the flow into the flowtable. This consists
of a series of calls to dev_fill_forward_path() for each device stack.
More topologies may be supported in the future, so move this code to its
own file to separate it from the nftables flow_offload expression.

sk->sk_timer has been used for TCP keepalives.
Keepalive timers are not in fast path, we want to use sk->sk_timer
storage for retransmit timers, for better cache locality.
Create icsk->icsk_keepalive_timer and change keepalive
code to no longer use sk->sk_timer.
Added space is reclaimed in the following patch.
This includes changes to MPTCP, which was also using sk_timer.
Alias icsk->mptcp_tout_timer and icsk->icsk_keepalive_timer
for inet_sk_diag_fill() sake.

Some qdisc like cake, codel, fq_codel might drop packets
in their dequeue() method.
This is currently problematic because dequeue() runs with
the qdisc spinlock held. Freeing skbs can be extremely expensive.
Add qdisc_dequeue_drop() method and a new TCQ_F_DEQUEUE_DROPS
so that these qdiscs can opt-in to defer the skb frees
after the socket spinlock is released.
TCQ_F_DEQUEUE_DROPS is an attempt to not penalize other qdiscs
with an extra cache line miss.

Support querying and resetting to default param values.
Introduce two new devlink netlink attrs:
DEVLINK_ATTR_PARAM_VALUE_DEFAULT and
DEVLINK_ATTR_PARAM_RESET_DEFAULT. The former is used to contain an
optional parameter value inside of the param_value nested
attribute. The latter is used in param-set requests from userspace to
indicate that the driver should reset the param to its default value.
To implement this, two new functions are added to the devlink driver
api: devlink_param::get_default() and
devlink_param::reset_default(). These callbacks allow drivers to
implement default param actions for runtime and permanent cmodes. For
driverinit params, the core latches the last value set by a driver via
devl_param_driverinit_value_set(), and uses that as the default value
for a param.
Because default parameter values are optional, it would be impossible
to discern whether or not a param of type bool has default value of
false or not provided if the default value is encoded using a netlink
flag type. For this reason, when a DEVLINK_PARAM_TYPE_BOOL has an
associated default value, the default value is encoded using a u8
type.

Allow devlink_param::get() handlers to report error messages via
extack. This function is called in a few different contexts, but not
all of them will have an valid extack to use.
When devlink_param::get() is called from param_get_doit or
param_get_dumpit contexts, pass the extack through so that drivers can
report errors when retrieving param values. devlink_param::get() is
called from the context of devlink_param_notify(), pass NULL in for
the extack.

The hdev lock/lookup/unlock/use pattern in the packet RX path doesn't
ensure hci_conn* is not concurrently modified/deleted. This locking
appears to be leftover from before conn_hash started using RCU
commit bf4c632524 ("Bluetooth: convert conn hash to RCU")
and not clear if it had purpose since then.
Currently, there are code paths that delete hci_conn* from elsewhere
than the ordered hdev->workqueue where the RX work runs in. E.g.
commit 5af1f84ed1 ("Bluetooth: hci_sync: Fix UAF on hci_abort_conn_sync")
introduced some of these, and there probably were a few others before
it. It's better to do the locking so that even if these run
concurrently no UAF is possible.
Move the lookup of hci_conn and associated socket-specific conn to
protocol recv handlers, and do them within a single critical section
to cover hci_conn* usage and lookup.
syzkaller has reported a crash that appears to be this issue:
[Task hdev->workqueue] [Task 2]
hci_disconnect_all_sync
l2cap_recv_acldata(hcon)
hci_conn_get(hcon)
hci_abort_conn_sync(hcon)
hci_dev_lock
hci_dev_lock
hci_conn_del(hcon)
v-------------------------------- hci_dev_unlock
hci_conn_put(hcon)
conn = hcon->l2cap_data (UAF)

Report standard counter stats->rx_missed_errors

Add a global workqueue to periodically run
mana_query_gf_stats every 2 seconds to get the latest
info in eth_stats and define a driver capability flag
to notify hardware of the periodic queries.
To avoid repeated failures and log flooding, the workqueue
is not rescheduled if mana_query_gf_stats fails on HWC timeout
error and the stats are reset to 0. Other errors are transient
which will not need a VF reset for recovery.

Move hardware counter (HC) statistics from mana_port_context to
mana_context to enable sharing stats across multiple network ports
on the same MANA VF. Previously, each network port queried
hardware counters independently using MANA_QUERY_GF_STAT command
(GF = Generic Function stats from GDMA hardware), resulting in
redundant queries when multiple ports existed on the same device.
Isolate hardware counter stats by introducing mana_ethtool_hc_stats
in mana_context and update the code to ensure all stats are properly
reported via ethtool -S <interface>, maintaining consistency with
previous behavior.

The kernel can throttle network sockets if the memory cgroup associated
with the corresponding socket is under memory pressure. The throttling
actions include clamping the transmit window, failing to expand receive or
send buffers, aggressively prune out-of-order receive queue, FIN deferred
to a retransmitted packet and more. Let's add memcg metric to track such
throttling actions.
At the moment memcg memory pressure is defined through vmpressure and in
future it may be defined using PSI or we may add more flexible way for the
users to define memory pressure, maybe through ebpf. However the
potential throttling actions will remain the same, so this newly
introduced metric will continue to track throttling actions irrespective
of how memcg memory pressure is defined.
