2008-11-16TPROXY: implemented IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR socket optionBalazs Scheidler
In case UDP traffic is redirected to a local UDP socket, the originally addressed destination address/port cannot be recovered with the in-kernel tproxy. This patch adds an IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR sockopt that enables a IP_ORIGDSTADDR ancillary message in recvmsg(). This ancillary message contains the original destination address/port of the packet being received. Signed-off-by: Balazs Scheidler <bazsi@balabit.hu> Signed-off-by: David S.

The attached patch makes it work much better for me. The patch will cause the code to NOT create a stale neighbor entry if we are not going to respond to the ARP request.

2008-10-29udp: introduce sk_for_each_rcu_safenext()Eric Dumazet
Corey Minyard found a race added in commit 271b72c7fa82c2c7a795bc16896149933110672d (udp: RCU handling for Unicast packets.) "If the socket is moved from one list to another list in-between the time the hash is calculated and the next field is accessed, and the socket has moved to the end of the new list, the traversal will not complete properly on the list it should have, since the socket will be on the end of the new list and there's not a way to tell it's on a new list and restart the list traversal. I think that this can be solved by pre-fetching the "next" field (with proper barriers) before checking the hash."

2008-10-29udp: RCU handling for Unicast packets.Eric Dumazet
Goals are : 1) Optimizing handling of incoming Unicast UDP frames, so that no memory writes should happen in the fast path. Note: Multicasts and broadcasts still will need to take a lock, because doing a full lockless lookup in this case is difficult. 2) No expensive operations in the socket bind/unhash phases : - No expensive synchronize_rcu() calls. - No added rcu_head in socket structure, increasing memory needs, but more important, forcing us to use call_rcu() calls, that have the bad property of making sockets structure cold. (rcu grace period between socket freeing and its potential reuse make this socket being cold in CPU cache). David did a previous patch using call_rcu() and noticed a 20% impact on TCP connection rates. Quoting Cristopher Lameter : "Right. That results in cacheline cooldown. You'd want to recycle the object as they are cache hot on a per cpu basis. That is screwed up by the delayed regular rcu processing. We have seen multiple regressions due to cacheline cooldown. The only choice in cacheline hot sensitive areas is to deal with the complexity that comes with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU or give up on RCU." - Because udp sockets are allocated from dedicated kmem_cache, use of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU can help here. Theory of operation : --------------------- As the lookup is lockfree (using rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock()), special attention must be taken by readers and writers. Use of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU is tricky too, because a socket can be freed, reused, inserted in a different chain or in worst case in the same chain while readers could do lookups in the same time. In order to avoid loops, a reader must check each socket found in a chain really belongs to the chain the reader was traversing. If it finds a mismatch, lookup must start again at the begining. This *restart* loop is the reason we had to use rdlock for the multicast case, because we dont want to send same message several times to the same socket. We use RCU only for fast path. Thus, /proc/net/udp still takes spinlocks. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-10-29udp: introduce struct udp_table and multiple spinlocksEric Dumazet
UDP sockets are hashed in a 128 slots hash table. This hash table is protected by *one* rwlock. This rwlock is readlocked each time an incoming UDP message is handled. This rwlock is writelocked each time a socket must be inserted in hash table (bind time), or deleted from this table (close time) This is not scalable on SMP machines : 1) Even in read mode, lock() and unlock() are atomic operations and must dirty a contended cache line, shared by all cpus. 2) A writer might be starved if many readers are 'in flight'. This can happen on a machine with some NIC receiving many UDP messages. User process can be delayed a long time at socket creation/dismantle time. This patch prepares RCU migration, by introducing 'struct udp_table and struct udp_hslot', and using one spinlock per chain, to reduce contention on central rwlock. Introducing one spinlock per chain reduces latencies, for port randomization on heavily loaded UDP servers. This also speedup bindings to specific ports. udp_lib_unhash() was uninlined, becoming to big. Some cleanups were done to ease review of following patch (RCUification of UDP Unicast lookups) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-10-27net: implement emergency route cache rebulds when gc_elasticity is exceededNeil Horman
This is a patch to provide on demand route cache rebuilding. Currently, our route cache is rebulid periodically regardless of need. This introduced unneeded periodic latency. This patch offers a better approach. Using code provided by Eric Dumazet, we compute the standard deviation of the average hash bucket chain length while running rt_check_expire. Should any given chain length grow to larger that average plus 4 standard deviations, we trigger an emergency hash table rebuild for that net namespace. This allows for the common case in which chains are well behaved and do not grow unevenly to not incur any latency at all, while those systems (which may be being maliciously attacked), only rebuild when the attack is detected. This patch take 2 other factors into account: 1) chains with multiple entries that differ by attributes that do not affect the hash value are only counted once, so as not to unduly bias system to rebuilding if features like QOS are heavily used 2) if rebuilding crosses a certain threshold (which is adjustable via the added sysctl in this patch), route caching is disabled entirely for that net namespace, since constant rebuilding is less efficient that no caching at all Tested successfully by me.

2008-10-23tcp: Restore ordering of TCP options for the sake of inter-operabilityIlpo Järvinen
This is not our bug! Sadly some devices cannot cope with the change of TCP option ordering which was a result of the recent rewrite of the option code (not that there was some particular reason steming from the rewrite for the reordering) though any ordering of TCP options is perfectly legal. Thus we restore the original ordering to allow interoperability with/through such broken devices and add some warning about this trap. Since the reordering just happened without any particular reason, this change shouldn't cost us anything. There are already couple of known failure reports (within close proximity of the last release), so the problem might be more wide-spread than a single device. And other reports which may be due to the same problem though the symptoms were less obvious. Analysis of one of the case revealed (with very high probability) that sack capability cannot be negotiated as the first option (SYN never got a response).

2008-10-21tcp: should use number of sack blocks instead of -1Ilpo Järvinen
While looking for the recent "sack issue" I also read all eff_sacks usage that was played around by some relevant commit. I found out that there's another thing that is asking for a fix (unrelated to the "sack issue" though). This feature has probably very little significance in practice. Opposite direction timeout with bidirectional tcp comes to me as the most likely scenario though there might be other cases as well related to non-data segments we send (e.g., response to the opposite direction segment). Also some ACK losses or option space wasted for other purposes is necessary to prevent the earlier SACK feedback getting to the sender.

nf_nat This patch removes the module dependency between ctnetlink and nf_nat by means of an indirect call that is initialized when nf_nat is loaded. Now, nf_conntrack_netlink only requires nf_conntrack and nfnetlink. This patch puts nfnetlink_parse_nat_setup_hook into the nf_conntrack_core to avoid dependencies between ctnetlink, nf_conntrack_ipv4 and nf_conntrack_ipv6. This patch also introduces the function ctnetlink_change_nat that is only invoked from the creation path. Actually, the nat handling cannot be invoked from the update path since this is not allowed. By introducing this function, we remove the useless nat handling in the update path and we avoid deadlock-prone code. This patch also adds the required EAGAIN logic for nfnetlink.
