Add locked bridge port support by reacting to changes in the 'BR_PORT_LOCKED' flag. When set, enable security checks on the local port via the previously added SPFSR register. When security checks are enabled, an incoming packet will trigger an FDB lookup with the packet's source MAC and the FID it was classified to. If an FDB entry was not found or was found to be pointing to a different port, the packet will be dropped. Such packets increment the "discard_ingress_general" ethtool counter. For added visibility, user space can trap such packets to the CPU by enabling the "locked_port" trap. Example: # devlink trap set pci/0000:06:00.0 trap locked_port action trap Unlike other configurations done via bridge port flags (e.g., learning, flooding), security checks are enabled in the device on a per-port basis and not on a per-{port, VLAN} basis. As such, scenarios where user space can configure different locking settings for different VLANs configured on a port need to be vetoed. To that end, veto the following scenarios: 1. Locking is set on a bridge port that is a VLAN upper 2. Locking is set on a bridge port that has VLAN uppers 3. VLAN upper is configured on a locked bridge port Examples: # bridge link set dev swp1.10 locked on Error: mlxsw_spectrum: Locked flag cannot be set on a VLAN upper. # ip link add link swp1 name swp1.10 type vlan id 10 # bridge link set dev swp1 locked on Error: mlxsw_spectrum: Locked flag cannot be set on a bridge port that has VLAN uppers. # bridge link set dev swp1 locked on # ip link add link swp1 name swp1.10 type vlan id 10 Error: mlxsw_spectrum: VLAN uppers are not supported on a locked port.

In Spectrum, learning happens in parallel to the security checks. Therefore, regardless of the result of the security checks, a learning notification will be generated by the device and polled later on by the driver. Currently, the driver reacts to learning notifications by programming corresponding FDB entries to the device. When a port is locked (i.e., has security checks enabled), this can no longer happen, as otherwise any host will blindly gain authorization. Instead, notify the learned entry as a locked entry to the bridge driver that will in turn notify it to user space, in case MAB is enabled. User space can then decide to authorize the host by clearing the "locked" flag, which will cause the entry to be programmed to the device.

When the bridge is offloaded to hardware, FDB entries are learned and aged-out by the hardware. Some device drivers synchronize the hardware and software FDBs by generating switchdev events towards the bridge. When a port is locked, the hardware must not learn autonomously, as otherwise any host will blindly gain authorization. Instead, the hardware should generate events regarding hosts that are trying to gain authorization and their MAC addresses should be notified by the device driver as locked FDB entries towards the bridge driver. Allow device drivers to notify the bridge driver about such entries by extending the 'switchdev_notifier_fdb_info' structure with the 'locked' bit. The bit can only be set by device drivers and not by the bridge driver. Prevent a locked entry from being installed if MAB is not enabled on the bridge port. If an entry already exists in the bridge driver, reject the locked entry if the current entry does not have the "locked" flag set or if it points to a different port. The same semantics are implemented in the software data path. Signed-off-by: Hans J.

Currently, FDB entries that are notified to the bridge via 'SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE' are always marked as offloaded. With MAB enabled, this will no longer be universally true. Device drivers will report locked FDB entries to the bridge to let it know that the corresponding hosts required authorization, but it does not mean that these entries are necessarily programmed in the underlying hardware. Solve this by determining the offload indication based of the 'offloaded' bit in the FDB notification.

The return value from genl_op_iter_init() only tells us if there are any policies but to begin the iteration (and therefore load the first entry) we need to call genl_op_iter_next(). Note that it's safe to call genl_op_iter_next() on a family with no ops, it will just return false. This may lead to various crashes, a warning in netlink_policy_dump_get_policy_idx() when policy is not found or.. no problem at all if the kmalloc'ed memory happens to be zeroed.

rxrpc changes David Howells says: ==================== rxrpc: Increasing SACK size and moving away from softirq, part 1 AF_RXRPC has some issues that need addressing: (1) The SACK table has a maximum capacity of 255, but for modern networks that isn't sufficient. This is hard to increase in the upstream code because of the way the application thread is coupled to the softirq and retransmission side through a ring buffer. Adjustments to the rx protocol allows a capacity of up to 8192, and having a ring sufficiently large to accommodate that would use an excessive amount of memory as this is per-call. (2) Processing ACKs in softirq mode causes the ACKs get conflated, with only the most recent being considered. Whilst this has the upside that the retransmission algorithm only needs to deal with the most recent ACK, it causes DATA transmission for a call to be very bursty because DATA packets cannot be transmitted in softirq mode. Rather transmission must be delegated to either the application thread or a workqueue, so there tend to be sudden bursts of traffic for any particular call due to scheduling delays. (3) All crypto in a single call is done in series; however, each DATA packet is individually encrypted so encryption and decryption of large calls could be parallelised if spare CPU resources are available. This is the first of a number of sets of patches that try and address them. The overall aims of these changes include: (1) To get rid of the TxRx ring and instead pass the packets round in queues (eg. sk_buff_head). On the Tx side, each ACK packet comes with a SACK table that can be parsed as-is, so there's no particular need to maintain our own; we just have to refer to the ACK. On the Rx side, we do need to maintain a SACK table with one bit per entry - but only if packets go missing - and we don't want to have to perform a complex transformation to get the information into an ACK packet. (2) To try and move almost all processing of received packets out of the softirq handler and into a high-priority kernel I/O thread. Only the transferral of packets would be left there. I would still use the encap_rcv hook to receive packets as there's a noticeable performance drop from letting the UDP socket put the packets into its own queue and then getting them out of there. (3) To make the I/O thread also do all the transmission. The app thread would be responsible for packaging the data into packets and then buffering them for the I/O thread to transmit. This would make it easier for the app thread to run ahead of the I/O thread, and would mean the I/O thread is less likely to have to wait around for a new packet to come available for transmission. (4) To logically partition the socket/UAPI/KAPI side of things from the I/O side of things. The local endpoint, connection, peer and call objects would belong to the I/O side. The socket side would not then touch the private internals of calls and suchlike and would not change their states. It would only look at the send queue, receive queue and a way to pass a message to cause an abort. (5) To remove as much locking, synchronisation, barriering and atomic ops as possible from the I/O side. Exclusion would be achieved by limiting modification of state to the I/O thread only. Locks would still need to be used in communication with the UDP socket and the AF_RXRPC socket API. (6) To provide crypto offload kernel threads that, when there's slack in the system, can see packets that need crypting and provide parallelisation in dealing with them. (7) To remove the use of system timers. Since each timer would then send a poke to the I/O thread, which would then deal with it when it had the opportunity, there seems no point in using system timers if, instead, a list of timeouts can be sensibly consulted. An I/O thread only then needs to schedule with a timeout when it is idle. (8) To use zero-copy sendmsg to send packets. This would make use of the I/O thread being the sole transmitter on the socket to manage the dead-reckoning sequencing of the completion notifications. There is a problem with zero-copy, though: the UDP socket doesn't handle running out of option memory very gracefully. With regard to this first patchset, the changes made include: (1) Some fixes, including a fallback for proc_create_net_single_write(), setting ack.bufferSize to 0 in ACK packets and a fix for rxrpc congestion management, which shouldn't be saving the cwnd value between calls. (2) Improvements in rxrpc tracepoints, including splitting the timer tracepoint into a set-timer and a timer-expired trace. (3) Addition of a new proc file to display some stats. (4) Some code cleanups, including removing some unused bits and unnecessary header inclusions. (5) A change to the recently added UDP encap_err_rcv hook so that it has the same signature as {ip,ipv6}_icmp_error(), and then just have rxrpc point its UDP socket's hook directly at those. (6) Definition of a new struct, rxrpc_txbuf, that is used to hold transmissible packets of DATA and ACK type in a single 2KiB block rather than using an sk_buff. This allows the buffer to be on a number of queues simultaneously more easily, and also guarantees that the entire block is in a single unit for zerocopy purposes and that the data payload is aligned for in-place crypto purposes. (7) ACK txbufs are allocated at proposal and queued for later transmission rather than being stored in a single place in the rxrpc_call struct, which means only a single ACK can be pending transmission at a time. The queue is then drained at various points. This allows the ACK generation code to be simplified. (8) The Rx ring buffer is removed. When a jumbo packet is received (which comprises a number of ordinary DATA packets glued together), it used to be pointed to by the ring multiple times, with an annotation in a side ring indicating which subpacket was in that slot - but this is no longer possible. Instead, the packet is cloned once for each subpacket, barring the last, and the range of data is set in the skb private area. This makes it easier for the subpackets in a jumbo packet to be decrypted in parallel. (9) The Tx ring buffer is removed. The side annotation ring that held the SACK information is also removed. Instead, in the event of packet loss, the SACK data attached an ACK packet is parsed. (10) Allocate an skcipher request when needed in the rxkad security class rather than caching one in the rxrpc_call struct. This deals with a race between externally-driven call disconnection getting rid of the skcipher request and sendmsg/recvmsg trying to use it because they haven't seen the completion yet. This is also needed to support parallelisation as the skcipher request cannot be used by two or more threads simultaneously. (11) Call udp_sendmsg() and udpv6_sendmsg() directly rather than going through kernel_sendmsg() so that we can provide our own iterator (zerocopy explicitly doesn't work with a KVEC iterator). This also lets us avoid the overhead of the security hook. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Allow a network interface to be renamed when the interface is up. As described in the netconsole documentation [1], when netconsole is used as a built-in, it will bring up the specified interface as soon as possible. As a result, user space will not be able to rename the interface since the kernel disallows renaming of interfaces that are administratively up unless the 'IFF_LIVE_RENAME_OK' private flag was set by the kernel. The original solution [2] to this problem was to add a new parameter to the netconsole configuration parameters that allows renaming of the interface used by netconsole while it is administratively up. However, during the discussion that followed, it became apparent that we have no reason to keep the current restriction and instead we should allow user space to rename interfaces regardless of their administrative state: 1. The restriction was put in place over 20 years ago when renaming was only possible via IOCTL and before rtnetlink started notifying user space about such changes like it does today. 2. The 'IFF_LIVE_RENAME_OK' flag was added over 3 years ago in version 5.2 and no regressions were reported. 3. In-kernel listeners to 'NETDEV_CHANGENAME' do not seem to care about the administrative state of interface. Therefore, allow user space to rename running interfaces by removing the restriction and the associated 'IFF_LIVE_RENAME_OK' flag. Help in possible triage by emitting a message to the kernel log that an interface was renamed while UP.

rxrpc has a problem in its congestion management in that it saves the congestion window size (cwnd) from one call to another, but if this is 0 at the time is saved, then the next call may not actually manage to ever transmit anything. To this end: (1) Don't save cwnd between calls, but rather reset back down to the initial cwnd and re-enter slow-start if data transmission is idle for more than an RTT. (2) Preserve ssthresh instead, as that is a handy estimate of pipe capacity. Knowing roughly when to stop slow start and enter congestion avoidance can reduce the tendency to overshoot and drop larger amounts of packets when probing. In future, cwind growth also needs to be constrained when the window isn't being filled due to being application limited.

Improve the tracking of which packets need to be transmitted by saving the last ACK packet that we receive that has a populated soft-ACK table rather than marking packets. Then we can step through the soft-ACK table and look at the packets we've transmitted beyond that to determine which packets we might want to retransmit. We also look at the highest serial number that has been acked to try and guess which packets we've transmitted the peer is likely to have seen. If necessary, we send a ping to retrieve that number. One downside that might be a problem is that we can't then compare the previous acked/unacked state so easily in rxrpc_input_soft_acks() - which is a potential problem for the slow-start algorithm.

This allows the number of packets to increase without having to allocate a very large ring or having variable-sized rings. [Note: the downside of this is that it's then less efficient to locate a packet for retransmission as we then have to step through a list and examine each buffer in the list.] (3) Allow the filler/encrypter to run ahead of the transmission window. (4) Make it easier to do zero copy UDP from the packet buffers. (5) Make it easier to do zero copy from userspace to the packet buffers - and thence to UDP (only if for unauthenticated connections). To that end, the following changes are made: (1) Use the new rxrpc_txbuf struct instead of sk_buff for keeping packets to be transmitted in. This allows them to be placed on multiple queues simultaneously. An sk_buff isn't really necessary as it's never passed on to lower-level networking code. (2) Keep the transmissable packets in a linked list on the call struct rather than in a ring. As a consequence, the annotation buffer isn't used either; rather a flag is set on the packet to indicate ackedness. (3) Use the RXRPC_CALL_TX_LAST flag to indicate that the last packet to be transmitted has been queued. Add RXRPC_CALL_TX_ALL_ACKED to indicate that all packets up to and including the last got hard acked. (4) Wire headers are now stored in the txbuf rather than being concocted on the stack and they're stored immediately before the data, thereby allowing zerocopy of a single span. (5) Don't bother with instant-resend on transmission failure; rather, leave it for a timer or an ACK packet to trigger.

Get rid of the Rx ring and replace it with a pair of queues instead. One queue gets the packets that are in-sequence and are ready for processing by recvmsg(); the other queue gets the out-of-sequence packets for addition to the first queue as the holes get filled. The annotation ring is removed and replaced with a SACK table. The SACK table has the bits set that correspond exactly to the sequence number of the packet being acked. The SACK ring is copied when an ACK packet is being assembled and rotated so that the first ACK is in byte 0. Flow control handling is altered so that packets that are moved to the in-sequence queue are hard-ACK'd even before they're consumed - and then the Rx window size in the ACK packet (rsize) is shrunk down to compensate (even going to 0 if the window is full).

Split up received jumbo packets into separate skbuffs by cloning the original skbuff for each subpacket and setting the offset and length of the data in that subpacket in the skbuff's private data. The subpackets are then placed on the recvmsg queue separately. The security class then gets to revise the offset and length to remove its metadata. If we fail to clone a packet, we just drop it and let the peer resend it. The original packet gets used for the final subpacket. This should make it easier to handle parallel decryption of the subpackets. It also simplifies the handling of lost or misordered packets in the queuing/buffering loop as the possibility of overlapping jumbo packets no longer needs to be considered.

Split the rxrpc_recvmsg tracepoint so that the tracepoints that are about data packet processing (and which have extra pieces of information) are separate from the tracepoint that shows the general flow of recvmsg().

Clean up the rxrpc_propose_ACK() function. If deferred PING ACK proposal is split out, it's only really needed for deferred DELAY ACKs. All other ACKs, bar terminal IDLE ACK are sent immediately. The deferred IDLE ACK submission can be handled by conversion of a DELAY ACK into an IDLE ACK if there's nothing to be SACK'd. Also, because there's a delay between an ACK being generated and being transmitted, it's possible that other ACKs of the same type will be generated during that interval. Apart from the ACK time and the serial number responded to, most of the ACK body, including window and SACK parameters, are not filled out till the point of transmission - so we can avoid generating a new ACK if there's one pending that will cover the SACK data we need to convey. Therefore, don't propose a new DELAY or IDLE ACK for a call if there's one already pending.
