This patch converts stab qdisc management to RCU, so that we can perform the qdisc_calculate_pkt_len() call before getting qdisc lock. This shortens the lock's held time in __dev_xmit_skb(). This permits more qdiscs to get TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS status, avoiding lot of cache misses and so reducing latencies.

In commit 37112105 (net: QDISC_STATE_RUNNING dont need atomic bit ops) I moved QDISC_STATE_RUNNING flag to __state container, located in the cache line containing qdisc lock and often dirtied fields. I now move TCQ_F_THROTTLED bit too, so that we let first cache line read mostly, and shared by all cpus. This should speedup HTB/CBQ for example. Not using test_bit()/__clear_bit()/__test_and_set_bit allows to use an "unsigned int" for __state container, reducing by 8 bytes Qdisc size. Introduce helpers to hide implementation details.

SFQ currently uses a 1024 slots hash table, and its internal structure (sfq_sched_data) allocation needs order-1 page on x86_64 Allow tc command to specify a divisor value (hash table size), between 1 and 65536. If no value is provided, assume the 1024 default size. This allows admins to setup smaller (or bigger) SFQ for specific needs. This also brings back sfq_sched_data allocations to order-0 ones, saving 3KB per SFQ qdisc. Jesper uses ~55.000 SFQ in one machine, this patch should free 165 MB of memory.

ret != NF_QUEUE only works in the "--queue-num 0" case; for queues > 0 the test should be '(ret & NF_VERDICT_MASK) != NF_QUEUE'. However, NF_QUEUE no longer DROPs the skb unconditionally if queueing fails (due to NF_VERDICT_FLAG_QUEUE_BYPASS verdict flag), so the re-route test should also be performed if this flag is set in the verdict. The full test would then look something like && ((ret & NF_VERDICT_MASK) == NF_QUEUE && (ret & NF_VERDICT_FLAG_QUEUE_BYPASS)) This is rather ugly, so just remove the NF_QUEUE test altogether. The only effect is that we might perform an unnecessary route lookup in the NF_QUEUE case. ip6table_mangle did not have such a check.

This implements a mqprio queueing discipline that by default creates a pfifo_fast qdisc per tx queue and provides the needed configuration interface. Using the mqprio qdisc the number of tcs currently in use along with the range of queues alloted to each class can be configured. By default skbs are mapped to traffic classes using the skb priority. This mapping is configurable. Configurable parameters, struct tc_mqprio_qopt { __u8 num_tc; __u8 prio_tc_map[TC_BITMASK + 1]; __u8 hw; __u16 count[TC_MAX_QUEUE]; __u16 offset[TC_MAX_QUEUE]; }; Here the count/offset pairing give the queue alignment and the prio_tc_map gives the mapping from skb->priority to tc. The hw bit determines if the hardware should configure the count and offset values. If the hardware bit is set then the operation will fail if the hardware does not implement the ndo_setup_tc operation. This is to avoid undetermined states where the hardware may or may not control the queue mapping. Also minimal bounds checking is done on the count/offset to verify a queue does not exceed num_tx_queues and that queue ranges do not overlap. Otherwise it is left to user policy or hardware configuration to create useful mappings. It is expected that hardware QOS schemes can be implemented by creating appropriate mappings of queues in ndo_tc_setup(). One expected use case is drivers will use the ndo_setup_tc to map queue ranges onto 802.1Q traffic classes. This provides a generic mechanism to map network traffic onto these traffic classes and removes the need for lower layer drivers to know specifics about traffic types.

This patch provides a mechanism for lower layer devices to steer traffic using skb->priority to tx queues. This allows for hardware based QOS schemes to use the default qdisc without incurring the penalties related to global state and the qdisc lock. While reliably receiving skbs on the correct tx ring to avoid head of line blocking resulting from shuffling in the LLD. Finally, all the goodness from txq caching and xps/rps can still be leveraged. Many drivers and hardware exist with the ability to implement QOS schemes in the hardware but currently these drivers tend to rely on firmware to reroute specific traffic, a driver specific select_queue or the queue_mapping action in the qdisc. By using select_queue for this drivers need to be updated for each and every traffic type and we lose the goodness of much of the upstream work. Firmware solutions are inherently inflexible. And finally if admins are expected to build a qdisc and filter rules to steer traffic this requires knowledge of how the hardware is currently configured. The number of tx queues and the queue offsets may change depending on resources. Also this approach incurs all the overhead of a qdisc with filters. With the mechanism in this patch users can set skb priority using expected methods ie setsockopt() or the stack can set the priority directly. Then the skb will be steered to the correct tx queues aligned with hardware QOS traffic classes. In the normal case with single traffic class and all queues in this class everything works as is until the LLD enables multiple tcs. To steer the skb we mask out the lower 4 bits of the priority and allow the hardware to configure upto 15 distinct classes of traffic. This is expected to be sufficient for most applications at any rate it is more then the 8021Q spec designates and is equal to the number of prio bands currently implemented in the default qdisc. This in conjunction with a userspace application such as lldpad can be used to implement 8021Q transmission selection algorithms one of these algorithms being the extended transmission selection algorithm currently being used for DCB.

This adds destination address-based selection. The old "inverse" member is overloaded (memory-wise) with a new "flags" variable, similar to how J.Park did it with xt_string rev 1.

This patch adds flow-based timestamping for conntracks. This conntrack extension is disabled by default. Basically, we use two 64-bits variables to store the creation timestamp once the conntrack has been confirmed and the other to store the deletion time. This extension is disabled by default, to enable it, you have to: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_timestamp This patch allows to save memory for user-space flow-based loogers such as ulogd2. In short, ulogd2 does not need to keep a hashtable with the conntrack in user-space to know when they were created and destroyed, instead we use the kernel timestamp. If we want to have a sane IPFIX implementation in user-space, this nanosecs resolution timestamps are also useful. Other custom user-space applications can benefit from this via libnetfilter_conntrack. This patch modifies the /proc output to display the delta time in seconds since the flow start. You can also obtain the flow-start date by means of the conntrack-tools. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

Linux Socket Filters can already be successfully attached and detached on unix sockets with setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_{ATTACH,DETACH}_FILTER, ...). See: Documentation/networking/filter.txt But the filter was never used in the unix socket code so it did not work. This patch uses sk_filter() to filter buffers before delivery. This short program demonstrates the problem on SOCK_DGRAM. int main(void) { int i, j, ret; int sv[2]; struct pollfd fds[2]; char *message = "Hello world!"; char buffer[64]; struct sock_filter ins[32] = {{0,},}; struct sock_fprog filter; socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_DGRAM, 0, sv); for (i = 0 ; i < 2 ; i++) { fds[i].fd = sv[i]; fds[i].events = POLLIN; fds[i].revents = 0; } for(j = 1 ; j < 13 ; j++) { /* Set a socket filter to truncate the message */ memset(ins, 0, sizeof(ins)); ins[0].code = BPF_RET|BPF_K; ins[0].k = j; filter.len = 1; filter.filter = ins; setsockopt(sv[1], SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_FILTER, &filter, sizeof(filter)); /* send a message */ send(sv[0], message, strlen(message) + 1, 0); /* The filter should let the message pass but truncated. */ poll(fds, 2, 0); /* Receive the truncated message*/ ret = recv(sv[1], buffer, 64, 0); printf("received %d bytes, expected %d\n", ret, j); } for (i = 0 ; i < 2 ; i++) close(sv[i]); return 0; } Signed-off-by: Alban Crequy <alban.crequy@collabora.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Ian Molton <ian.molton@collabora.co.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

In drivers/net/ns83820.c::ns83820_init_one() we dynamically allocate memory via alloc_etherdev(). We then call PRIV() on the returned storage which is 'return netdev_priv()'. netdev_priv() takes the pointer it is passed and adds 'ALIGN(sizeof(struct net_device), NETDEV_ALIGN)' to it and returns it. Then we test the resulting pointer for NULL, which it is unlikely to be at this point, and later dereference it. This will go bad if alloc_etherdev() actually returned NULL. This patch reworks the code slightly so that we test for a NULL pointer (and return -ENOMEM) directly after calling alloc_etherdev().

When a network namespace is created (via CLONE_NEWNET), the loopback interface is automatically added to the new namespace, triggering a printk in ipv6_add_dev() if CONFIG_IPV6_PRIVACY is set. This is problematic for applications which use CLONE_NEWNET as part of a sandbox, like Chromium's suid sandbox or recent versions of vsftpd. On a busy machine, it can lead to thousands of useless "lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions" messages appearing in dmesg. It's easy enough to check the status of privacy extensions via the use_tempaddr sysctl, so just removing the printk seems like the most sensible solution.
