Leon Romanovsky says: ==================== I may admit that the title of this series is not the best one as it contains straightforward cleanups and code that converts flags to something less confusing. This series follows removal of FPGA IPsec code from the mlx5 driver and based on net-next commit 4950b699 ("Merge branch 'ocelot-vcap-cleanups'"). As such, first two patches delete code that was used by mlx5 FPGA code but isn't needed anymore. Third patch is simple struct rename. Rest of the patches separate user's provided flags variable from driver's usage. This allows us to created more simple in-kernel interface, that supports type checking without blending different properties into one variable. It is achieved by converting flags to specific bitfield variables with clear, meaningful names. Such change allows us more clear addition of new input flags needed to mark IPsec offload type. The followup code uses this extensively: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/leon/linux-rdma.git/log/?h=xfrm-next ==================== Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com>

Mat Martineau says: ==================== mptcp: Improve MPTCP-level window tracking This series improves MPTCP receive window compliance with RFC 8684 and helps increase throughput on high-speed links. Note that patch 3 makes a change in tcp_output.c For the details, Paolo says: I've been chasing bad/unstable performance with multiple subflows on very high speed links. It looks like the root cause is due to the current mptcp-level congestion window handling. There are apparently a few different sub-issues: - the rcv_wnd is not effectively shared on the tx side, as each subflow takes in account only the value received by the underlaying TCP connection. This is addressed in patch 1/5 - The mptcp-level offered wnd right edge is currently allowed to shrink. Reading section 3.3.4.: """ The receive window is relative to the DATA_ACK. As in TCP, a receiver MUST NOT shrink the right edge of the receive window (i.e., DATA_ACK + receive window). The receiver will use the data sequence number to tell if a packet should be accepted at the connection level. """ I read the above as we need to reflect window right-edge tracking on the wire, see patch 4/5. - The offered window right edge tracking can happen concurrently on multiple subflows, but there is no mutex protection. We need an additional atomic operation - still patch 4/5 This series additionally bumps a few new MIBs to track all the above (ensure/observe that the suspected races actually take place). I could not access again the host where the issue was so noticeable, still in the current setup the tput changes from [6-18] Gbps to 19Gbps very stable. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220504215408.349318-1-mathew.j.martineau@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

The MPTCP RFC requires that the MPTCP-level receive window's right edge never moves backward. Currently the MPTCP code enforces such constraint while tracking the right edge, but it does not reflects it on the wire, as MPTCP lacks a suitable hook to update accordingly the TCP header. This change modifies the existing mptcp_write_options() hook, providing the current packet's TCP header to the MPTCP protocol, so that the next patch could implement the above mentioned constraint.

As per RFC, mptcp subflows use a "shared" snd_wnd: the effective window is the maximum among the current values received on all subflows. Without such feature a data transfer using multiple subflows could block. Window sharing is currently implemented in the RX side: __tcp_select_window uses the mptcp-level receive buffer to compute the announced window. That is not enough: the TCP stack will stick to the window size received on the given subflow; we need to propagate the msk window value on each subflow at xmit time.

There are sleep in atomic bug that could cause kernel panic during firmware download process. The root cause is that nlmsg_new with GFP_KERNEL parameter is called in fw_dnld_timeout which is a timer handler. The call trace is shown below: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/sched/mm.h:265 Call Trace: kmem_cache_alloc_node __alloc_skb nfc_genl_fw_download_done call_timer_fn __run_timers.part.0 run_timer_softirq __do_softirq ... The nlmsg_new with GFP_KERNEL parameter may sleep during memory allocation process, and the timer handler is run as the result of a "software interrupt" that should not call any other function that could sleep. This patch changes allocation mode of netlink message from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC in order to prevent sleep in atomic bug. The GFP_ATOMIC flag makes memory allocation operation could be used in atomic context.

As discussed here with Ido Schimmel: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20220224102908.5255-2-jianbol@nvidia.com/ the default conform-exceed action is "reclassify", for a reason we don't really understand. The point is that hardware can't offload that police action, so not specifying "conform-exceed" was always wrong, even though the command used to work in hardware (but not in software) until the kernel started adding validation for it. Fix the command used by the selftest by making the policer drop on exceed, and pass the packet to the next action (goto) on conform.

Willy Tarreau says: ==================== insufficient TCP source port randomness In a not-yet published paper, Moshe Kol, Amit Klein, and Yossi Gilad report being able to accurately identify a client by forcing it to emit only 40 times more connections than the number of entries in the table_perturb[] table, which is indexed by hashing the connection tuple. The current 2^8 setting allows them to perform that attack with only 10k connections, which is not hard to achieve in a few seconds. Eric, Amit and I have been working on this for a few weeks now imagining, testing and eliminating a number of approaches that Amit and his team were still able to break or that were found to be too risky or too expensive, and ended up with the simple improvements in this series that resists to the attack, doesn't degrade the performance, and preserves a reliable port selection algorithm to avoid connection failures, including the odd/even port selection preference that allows bind() to always find a port quickly even under strong connect() stress. The approach relies on several factors: - resalting the hash secret that's used to choose the table_perturb[] entry every 10 seconds to eliminate slow attacks and force the attacker to forget everything that was learned after this delay. This already eliminates most of the problem because if a client stays silent for more than 10 seconds there's no link between the previous and the next patterns, and 10s isn't yet frequent enough to cause too frequent repetition of a same port that may induce a connection failure ; - adding small random increments to the source port. Previously, a random 0 or 1 was added every 16 ports. Now a random 0 to 7 is added after each port. This means that with the default 32768-60999 range, a worst case rollover happens after 1764 connections, and an average of 3137. This doesn't stop statistical attacks but requires significantly more iterations of the same attack to confirm a guess. - increasing the table_perturb[] size from 2^8 to 2^16, which Amit says will require 2.6 million connections to be attacked with the changes above, making it pointless to get a fingerprint that will only last 10 seconds. Due to the size, the table was made dynamic. - a few minor improvements on the bits used from the hash, to eliminate some unfortunate correlations that may possibly have been exploited to design future attack models. These changes were tested under the most extreme conditions, up to 1.1 million connections per second to one and a few targets, showing no performance regression, and only 2 connection failures within 13 billion, which is less than 2^-32 and perfectly within usual values. The series is split into small reviewable changes and was already reviewed by Amit and Eric. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220502084614.24123-1-w@1wt.euSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

In commit 190cc824 ("tcp: change source port randomizarion at connect() time"), the table_perturb[] array was introduced and an index was taken from the port_offset via hash_32(). But it turns out that hash_32() performs a multiplication while the input here comes from the output of SipHash in secure_seq, that is well distributed enough to avoid the need for yet another hash.

Moshe Kol, Amit Klein, and Yossi Gilad reported being able to accurately identify a client by forcing it to emit only 40 times more connections than there are entries in the table_perturb[] table. The previous two improvements consisting in resalting the secret every 10s and adding randomness to each port selection only slightly improved the situation, and the current value of 2^8 was too small as it's not very difficult to make a client emit 10k connections in less than 10 seconds. Thus we're increasing the perturb table from 2^8 to 2^16 so that the same precision now requires 2.6M connections, which is more difficult in this time frame and harder to hide as a background activity. The impact is that the table now uses 256 kB instead of 1 kB, which could mostly affect devices making frequent outgoing connections. However such components usually target a small set of destinations (load balancers, database clients, perf assessment tools), and in practice only a few entries will be visited, like before. A live test at 1 million connections per second showed no performance difference from the previous value.
