Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== pull-request: bpf-next 2019-04-12 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree. The main changes are: 1) Improve BPF verifier scalability for large programs through two optimizations: i) remove verifier states that are not useful in pruning, ii) stop walking parentage chain once first LIVE_READ is seen. Combined gives approx 20x speedup. Increase limits for accepting large programs under root, and add various stress tests, from Alexei. 2) Implement global data support in BPF. This enables static global variables for .data, .rodata and .bss sections to be properly handled which allows for more natural program development. This also opens up the possibility to optimize program workflow by compiling ELFs only once and later only rewriting section data before reload, from Daniel and with test cases and libbpf refactoring from Joe. 3) Add config option to generate BTF type info for vmlinux as part of the kernel build process. DWARF debug info is converted via pahole to BTF. Latter relies on libbpf and makes use of BTF deduplication algorithm which results in 100x savings compared to DWARF data. Resulting .BTF section is typically about 2MB in size, from Andrii. 4) Add BPF verifier support for stack access with variable offset from helpers and add various test cases along with it, from Andrey. 5) Extend bpf_skb_adjust_room() growth BPF helper to mark inner MAC header so that L2 encapsulation can be used for tc tunnels, from Alan. 6) Add support for input __sk_buff context in BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN so that users can define a subset of allowed __sk_buff fields that get fed into the test program, from Stanislav. 7) Add bpf fs multi-dimensional array tests for BTF test suite and fix up various UBSAN warnings in bpftool, from Yonghong. 8) Generate a pkg-config file for libbpf, from Luca. 9) Dump program's BTF id in bpftool, from Prashant. 10) libbpf fix to use smaller BPF log buffer size for AF_XDP's XDP program, from Magnus. 11) kallsyms related fixes for the case when symbols are not present in BPF selftests and samples, from Daniel ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Add the definition for smp_rmb(), smp_wmb(), and smp_mb() to the tools include infrastructure: this patch adds the implementation for x86-64 and arm64, and have it fall back as currently is for other archs which do not have it implemented at this point. The x86-64 one uses lock + add combination for smp_mb() with address below red zone. This is on top of 09d62154 ("tools, perf: add and use optimized ring_buffer_{read_head, write_tail} helpers"), which didn't touch smp_* barrier implementations. Magnus recently rightfully reported however that the latter on x86-64 still wrongly falls back to sfence, lfence and mfence respectively, thus fix that for applications under tools making use of these to avoid such ugly surprises. The main header under tools (include/asm/barrier.h) will in that case not select the fallback implementation.

David Ahern says: ==================== ipv6: Refactor nexthop selection helpers during a fib lookup IPv6 has a fib6_nh embedded within each fib6_info and a separate fib6_info for each path in a multipath route. A side effect is that a fib6_info is passed all the way down the stack when selecting a path on a fib lookup. Refactor the fib lookup functions and associated helper functions to take a fib6_nh when appropriate to enable IPv6 to work with nexthop objects where the fib6_nh is not directly part of a fib entry. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

find_rr_leaf has 3 loops over fib_entries calling find_match. The loops are very similar with differences in start point and whether the metric is evaluated: 1. start at rr_head, no extra loop compare, check fib metric 2. start at leaf, compare rt against rr_head, check metric 3. start at cont (potential saved point from earlier loops), no extra loop compare, no metric check Create 1 loop that is called 3 different times.

find_match primarily needs a fib6_nh (and fib6_flags which it passes through to rt6_score_route). Move fib6_check_expired up to the call sites so find_match is only called for relevant entries. Remove the match argument which is mostly a pass through and use the return boolean to decide if match gets set in the call sites. The end result is a helper that can be called per fib6_nh struct which is needed once fib entries reference nexthop objects that have more than one fib6_nh.

Alan Maguire says: ==================== Extend bpf_skb_adjust_room growth to mark inner MAC header so that L2 encapsulation can be used for tc tunnels. Patch #1 extends the existing test_tc_tunnel to support UDP encapsulation; later we want to be able to test MPLS over UDP and MPLS over GRE encapsulation. Patch #2 adds the BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_ENCAP_L2(len) macro, which allows specification of inner mac length. Other approaches were explored prior to taking this approach. Specifically, I tried automatically computing the inner mac length on the basis of the specified flags (so inner maclen for GRE/IPv4 encap is the len_diff specified to bpf_skb_adjust_room minus GRE + IPv4 header length for example). Problem with this is that we don't know for sure what form of GRE/UDP header we have; is it a full GRE header, or is it a FOU UDP header or generic UDP encap header? My fear here was we'd end up with an explosion of flags. The other approach tried was to support inner L2 header marking as a separate room adjustment, i.e. adjust for L3/L4 encap, then call bpf_skb_adjust_room for L2 encap. This can be made to work but because it imposed an order on operations, felt a bit clunky. Patch #3 syncs tools/ bpf.h. Patch #4 extends the tests again to support MPLSoverGRE, MPLSoverUDP, and transparent ethernet bridging (TEB) where the inner L2 header is an ethernet header. Testing of BPF encap against tunnels is done for cases where configuration of such tunnels is possible (MPLSoverGRE[6], MPLSoverUDP, gre[6]tap), and skipped otherwise. Testing of BPF encap/decap is always carried out. Changes since v2: - updated tools/testing/selftest/bpf/config with FOU/MPLS CONFIG variables (patches 1, 4) - reduced noise in patch 1 by avoiding unnecessary movement of code - eliminated inner_mac variable in bpf_skb_net_grow (patch 2) Changes since v1: - fixed formatting of commit references. - BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_FIXED_GSO flag enabled on all variants (patch 1) - fixed fou6 options for UDP encap; checksum errors observed were due to the fact fou6 tunnel was not set up with correct ipproto options (41 -6). 0 checksums work fine (patch 1) - added definitions for mask and shift used in setting L2 length (patch 2) - allow udp encap with fixed GSO (patch 2) - changed "elen" to "l2_len" to be more descriptive (patch 4) ==================== Acked-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>

commit 868d5235 ("bpf: add bpf_skb_adjust_room encap flags") introduced support to bpf_skb_adjust_room for GSO-friendly GRE and UDP encapsulation. For GSO to work for skbs, the inner headers (mac and network) need to be marked. For L3 encapsulation using bpf_skb_adjust_room, the mac and network headers are identical. Here we provide a way of specifying the inner mac header length for cases where L2 encap is desired. Such an approach can support encapsulated ethernet headers, MPLS headers etc. For example to convert from a packet of form [eth][ip][tcp] to [eth][ip][udp][inner mac][ip][tcp], something like the following could be done: headroom = sizeof(iph) + sizeof(struct udphdr) + inner_maclen; ret = bpf_skb_adjust_room(skb, headroom, BPF_ADJ_ROOM_MAC, BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_ENCAP_L4_UDP | BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_ENCAP_L3_IPV4 | BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_ENCAP_L2(inner_maclen)); Signed-off-by: Alan Maguire <alan.maguire@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>

Implementation of function rhashtable_insert_fast() check if its internal helper function __rhashtable_insert_fast() returns non-NULL pointer and seemingly return -EEXIST in such case. However, since __rhashtable_insert_fast() is called with NULL key pointer, it never actually checks for duplicates, which means that -EEXIST is never returned to the user. Use rhashtable_lookup_insert_fast() hash table API instead. In order to verify that it works as expected and prevent the problem from happening in future, extend tc-tests with new test that verifies that no new filters with existing key can be inserted to flower classifier.

Add new set of arguments to bpf_attr for BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN: * ctx_in/ctx_size_in - input context * ctx_out/ctx_size_out - output context The intended use case is to pass some meta data to the test runs that operate on skb (this has being brought up on recent LPC). For programs that use bpf_prog_test_run_skb, support __sk_buff input and output. Initially, from input __sk_buff, copy _only_ cb and priority into skb, all other non-zero fields are prohibited (with EINVAL). If the user has set ctx_out/ctx_size_out, copy the potentially modified __sk_buff back to the userspace. We require all fields of input __sk_buff except the ones we explicitly support to be set to zero. The expectation is that in the future we might add support for more fields and we want to fail explicitly if the user runs the program on the kernel where we don't yet support them. The API is intentionally vague (i.e. we don't explicitly add __sk_buff to bpf_attr, but ctx_in) to potentially let other test_run types use this interface in the future (this can be xdp_md for xdp types for example). v4: * don't copy more than allowed in bpf_ctx_init [Martin] v3: * handle case where ctx_in is NULL, but ctx_out is not [Martin] * convert size==0 checks to ptr==NULL checks and add some extra ptr checks [Martin] v2: * Addressed comments from Martin Lau Signed-off-by: Stanislav Fomichev <sdf@google.com> Acked-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>

Paolo Abeni says: ==================== net: sched: move back qlen to per CPU accounting The commit 46b1c18f ("net: sched: put back q.qlen into a single location") introduced some measurable regression in the contended scenarios for lock qdisc. As Eric suggested we could replace q.qlen access with calls to qdisc_is_empty() in the datapath and revert the above commit. The TC subsystem updates qdisc->is_empty in a somewhat loose way: notably 'is_empty' is set only when the qdisc dequeue() calls return a NULL ptr. That is, the invocation after the last packet is dequeued. The above is good enough for BYPASS implementation - the only downside is that we end up avoiding the optimization for a very small time-frame - but will break hard things when internal structures consistency for classful qdisc relies on child qdisc_is_empty(). A more strict 'is_empty' update adds a relevant complexity to its life-cycle, so this series takes a different approach: we allow lockless qdisc to switch from per CPU accounting to global stats accounting when the NOLOCK bit is cleared. Since most pieces of infrastructure are already in place, this requires very little changes to the pfifo_fast qdisc, and any later NOLOCK qdisc can hook there with little effort - no need to maintain two different implementations. The first 2 patches removes direct qlen access from non core TC code, the 3rd and 4th patches place and use the infrastructure to allow stats account switching and the 5th patch is the actual revert. v1 -> v2: - fixed build issues - more descriptive commit message for patch 5/5 ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This revert commit 46b1c18f ("net: sched: put back q.qlen into a single location"). After the previous patch, when a NOLOCK qdisc is enslaved to a locking qdisc it switches to global stats accounting. As a consequence, when a classful qdisc accesses directly a child qdisc's qlen, such qdisc is not doing per CPU accounting and qlen value is consistent. In the control path nobody uses directly qlen since commit e5f0e8f8 ("net: sched: introduce and use qdisc tree flush/purge helpers"), so we can remove the contented atomic ops from the datapath. v1 -> v2: - complete the qdisc_qstats_atomic_qlen_dec() -> qdisc_qstats_cpu_qlen_dec() replacement, fix build issue - more descriptive commit message Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Since stats updating is always consistent with TCQ_F_CPUSTATS flag, we can disable it at qdisc creation time flipping such bit. In my experiments, if the NOLOCK flag is cleared, per CPU stats accounting does not give any measurable performance gain, but it waste some memory. Let's clear TCQ_F_CPUSTATS together with NOLOCK, when enslaving a NOLOCK qdisc to 'lock' one. Use stats update helper inside pfifo_fast, to cope correctly with TCQ_F_CPUSTATS flag change. As a side effect, q.qlen value for any child qdiscs is always consistent for all lock classfull qdiscs. Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
