Wei Wang says: ==================== remove dst garbage collector logic The current mechanism of dst release is a bit complicated. It is because the users of dst get divided into 2 situations: 1. Most users take the reference count when using a dst and release the reference count when done. 2. Exceptional users like IPv4/IPv6/decnet/xfrm routing code do not take reference count when referencing to a dst due to some histotic reasons. Due to those exceptional use cases in 2, reference count being 0 is not an adequate evidence to indicate that no user is using this dst. So users in 1 can't free the dst simply based on reference count being 0 because users in 2 might still hold reference to it. Instead, a dst garbage list is needed to hold the dst entries that already get removed by the users in 2 but are still held by users in 1. And a periodic garbage collector task is run to check all the dst entries in the list to see if the users in 1 have released the reference to those dst entries. If so, the dst is now ready to be freed. This logic introduces unnecessary complications in the dst code which makes it hard to understand and to debug. In order to get rid of the whole dst garbage collector (gc) and make the dst code more unified and simplified, we can make the users in 2 also take reference count on the dst and release it properly when done. This way, dst can be safely freed once the refcount drops to 0 and no gc thread is needed anymore. This patch series' target is to completely get rid of dst gc logic and free dst based on reference count only. Patch 1-3 are preparation patches to do some cleanup/improvement on the existing code to make later work easier. Patch 4-21 are real implementations. In these patches, a temporary flag DST_NOGC is used to help transition those exceptional users one by one. Once every component is transitioned, this temporary flag is removed. By the end of this patch series, all dst are refcounted when being used and released when done. And dst will be freed when its refcount drops to 0. No dst gc task is running anymore. Note: This patch series depends on the decnet fix that was sent right before: "decnet: always not take dst->__refcnt when inserting dst into hash table" v2: add curly braces in udp_v4/6_early_demux() in patch 02 add EXPORT_SYMBOL() for dst_dev_put() in patch 05 ==================== Signed-off-by: -

This patch is meant to add a debug warning on the situation where dst is being held during its destroy phase. This could potentially cause double free issue on the dst. Signed-off-by:

DST_NOCACHE flag check has been removed from dst_release() and dst_hold_safe() in a previous patch because all the dst are now ref counted properly and can be released based on refcnt only. Looking at the rest of the DST_NOCACHE use, all of them can now be removed or replaced with other checks. So this patch gets rid of all the DST_NOCACHE usage and remove this flag completely.

Now that all the components have been changed to release dst based on refcnt only and not depend on dst gc anymore, we can remove the temporary flag DST_NOGC. Note that we also need to remove the DST_NOCACHE check in dst_release() and dst_hold_safe() because now all the dst are released based on refcnt and behaves as DST_NOCACHE. Signed-off-by:

struct dn_route is inserted into dn_rt_hash_table but no dst->__refcnt is taken. This patch makes sure the dn_rt_hash_table's reference to the dst is ref counted. As the dst is always ref counted properly, we can safely mark DST_NOGC flag so dst_release() will release dst based on refcnt only. And dst gc is no longer needed and all dst_free() or its related function calls should be replaced with dst_release() or dst_release_immediate(). And dst_dev_put() is called when removing dst from the hash table to release the reference on dst->dev before we lose pointer to it. Also, correct the logic in dn_dst_check_expire() and dn_dst_gc() to check dst->__refcnt to be > 1 to indicate it is referenced by other users. Signed-off-by:

During the creation of xfrm_dst bundle, always take ref count when allocating the dst. This way, xfrm_bundle_create() will form a linked list of dst with dst->child pointing to a ref counted dst child. And the returned dst pointer is also ref counted. This makes the link from the flow cache to this dst now ref counted properly. As the dst is always ref counted properly, we can safely mark DST_NOGC flag so dst_release() will release dst based on refcnt only. And dst gc is no longer needed and all dst_free() and its related function calls should be replaced with dst_release() or dst_release_immediate(). The special handling logic for dst->child in dst_destroy() can be replaced with a simple dst_release_immediate() call on the child to release the whole list linked by dst->child pointer. Previously used DST_NOHASH flag is not needed anymore as well. The reason that DST_NOHASH is used in the existing code is mainly to prevent the dst inserted in the fib tree to be wrongly destroyed during the deletion of the xfrm_dst bundle. So in the existing code, DST_NOHASH flag is marked in all the dst children except the one which is in the fib tree. However, with this patch series to remove dst gc logic and release dst only based on ref count, it is safe to release all the children from a xfrm_dst bundle as long as the dst children are all ref counted properly which is already the case in the existing code. So, this patch removes the use of DST_NOHASH flag. Signed-off-by:

With the previous preparation patches, we are ready to get rid of the dst gc operation in ipv6 code and release dst based on refcnt only. So this patch adds DST_NOGC flag for all IPv6 dst and remove the calls to dst_free() and its related functions. At this point, all dst created in ipv6 code do not use the dst gc anymore and will be destroyed at the point when refcnt drops to 0. Also, as icmp6 dst route is refcounted during creation and will be freed by user during its call of dst_release(), there is no need to add this dst to the icmp6 gc list as well. Instead, we need to add it into uncached list so that when a NETDEV_DOWN/NETDEV_UNREGISRER event comes, we can properly go through these icmp6 dst as well and release the net device properly.

As the intend of this patch series is to completely remove dst gc, we need to call dst_dev_put() to release the reference to dst->dev when removing routes from fib because we won't keep the gc list anymore and will lose the dst pointer right after removing the routes. Without the gc list, there is no way to find all the dst's that have dst->dev pointing to the going-down dev. Hence, we are doing dst_dev_put() immediately before we lose the last reference of the dst from the routing code. The next dst_check() will trigger a route re-lookup to find another route (if there is any). Signed-off-by:

In IPv6 routing code, struct rt6_info is created for each static route and RTF_CACHE route and inserted into fib6 tree. In both cases, dst ref count is not taken. As explained in the previous patch, this leads to the need of the dst garbage collector. This patch holds ref count of dst before inserting the route into fib6 tree and properly releases the dst when deleting it from the fib6 tree as a preparation in order to fully get rid of dst gc later. Also, correct fib6_age() logic to check dst->__refcnt to be 1 to indicate no user is referencing the dst. And remove dst_hold() in vrf_rt6_create() as ip6_dst_alloc() already puts dst->__refcnt to 1.

This patch checks all the calls to dst_hold()/skb_dst_force()/dst_clone()/dst_use() to see if dst_hold_safe() is needed to avoid double free issue if dst gc is removed and dst_release() directly destroys dst when dst->__refcnt drops to 0. In tx path, TCP hold sk->sk_rx_dst ref count and also hold sock_lock(). UDP and other similar protocols always hold refcount for skb->_skb_refdst. So both paths seem to be safe. In rx path, as it is lockless and skb_dst_set_noref() is likely to be used, dst_hold_safe() should always be used when trying to hold dst. In the routing code, if dst is held during an rcu protected session, it is necessary to call dst_hold_safe() as the current dst might be in its rcu grace period. Signed-off-by:

In IPv4 routing code, fib_nh and fib_nh_exception can hold pointers to struct rtable but they never increment dst->__refcnt. This leads to the need of the dst garbage collector because when user is done with this dst and calls dst_release(), it can only decrement dst->__refcnt and can not free the dst even it sees dst->__refcnt drops from 1 to 0 (unless DST_NOCACHE flag is set) because the routing code might still hold reference to it. And when the routing code tries to delete a route, it has to put the dst to the gc_list if dst->__refcnt is not yet 0 and have a gc thread running periodically to check on dst->__refcnt and finally to free dst when refcnt becomes 0. This patch increments dst->__refcnt when fib_nh/fib_nh_exception holds reference to this dst and properly release the dst when fib_nh/fib_nh_exception has been updated with a new dst. This patch is a preparation in order to fully get rid of dst gc later. Signed-off-by:

This function should be called when removing routes from fib tree after the dst gc is no longer in use. We first mark DST_OBSOLETE_DEAD on this dst to make sure next dst_ops->check() fails and returns NULL. Secondly, as we no longer keep the gc_list, we need to properly release dst->dev right at the moment when the dst is removed from the fib/fib6 tree. It does the following: 1. change dst->input and output pointers to dst_discard/dst_dscard_out to discard all packets 2. replace dst->dev with loopback interface Signed-off-by:

The current mechanism of freeing dst is a bit complicated. dst has its ref count and when user grabs the reference to the dst, the ref count is properly taken in most cases except in IPv4/IPv6/decnet/xfrm routing code due to some historic reasons. If the reference to dst is always taken properly, we should be able to simplify the logic in dst_release() to destroy dst when dst->__refcnt drops from 1 to 0. And this should be the only condition to determine if we can call dst_destroy(). And as dst is always ref counted, there is no need for a dst garbage list to hold the dst entries that already get removed by the routing code but are still held by other users. And the task to periodically check the list to free dst if ref count become 0 is also not needed anymore. This patch introduces a temporary flag DST_NOGC(no garbage collector). If it is set in the dst, dst_release() will call dst_destroy() when dst->__refcnt drops to 0. dst_hold_safe() will also check for this flag and do atomic_inc_not_zero() similar as DST_NOCACHE to avoid double free issue. This temporary flag is mainly used so that we can make the transition component by component without breaking other parts. This flag will be removed after all components are properly transitioned. This patch also introduces a new function dst_release_immediate() which destroys dst without waiting on the rcu when refcnt drops to 0. It will be used in later patches. Follow-up patches will correct all the places to properly take ref count on dst and mark DST_NOGC. dst_release() or dst_release_immediate() will be used to release the dst instead of dst_free() and its related functions. And final clean-up patch will remove the DST_NOGC flag. Signed-off-by:

Existing ipv4/6_blackhole_route() code generates a blackhole route with dst->dev pointing to the passed in dst->dev. It is not necessary to hold reference to the passed in dst->dev because the packets going through this route are dropped anyway. A loopback interface is good enough so that we don't need to worry about releasing this dst->dev when this dev is going down. Signed-off-by:

In udp_v4/6_early_demux() code, we try to hold dst->__refcnt for dst with DST_NOCACHE flag. This is because later in udp_sk_rx_dst_set() function, we will try to cache this dst in sk for connected case. However, a better way to achieve this is to not try to hold dst in early_demux(), but in udp_sk_rx_dst_set(), call dst_hold_safe(). This approach is also more consistant with how tcp is handling it. And it will make later changes simpler. Signed-off-by:

In ipv6 tx path, rcu_read_lock() is taken so that dst won't get freed during the execution of ip6_fragment(). Hence, no need to hold dst in it. Signed-off-by:

Similarly to how cross-chip VLAN works, define a bitmap of multicast group members for a switch, now including its DSA ports, so that multicast traffic can be sent to all switches of the fabric. A switch may drop the frames if no user port is a member. This brings support for multicast in a multi-chip environment. As of now, all switches of the fabric must support the multicast operations in order to program a single fabric port. Reported-by:

When booting into the kdump/kexec kernel, pHyp and vios are not prepared for the initialization crq request and a failover transport event is generated. This is not handled correctly. At this point in initialization the driver is still in the 'probing' state and cannot handle a full reset of the driver as is normally done for a failover transport event. To correct this we catch driver resets while still in the 'probing' state and return EAGAIN. This results in the driver tearing down the main crq and calling ibmvnic_init() again. Signed-off-by:

In the existing dn_route.c code, dn_route_output_slow() takes dst->__refcnt before calling dn_insert_route() while dn_route_input_slow() does not take dst->__refcnt before calling dn_insert_route(). This makes the whole routing code very buggy. In dn_dst_check_expire(), dnrt_free() is called when rt expires. This makes the routes inserted by dn_route_output_slow() not able to be freed as the refcnt is not released. In dn_dst_gc(), dnrt_drop() is called to release rt which could potentially cause the dst->__refcnt to be dropped to -1. In dn_run_flush(), dst_free() is called to release all the dst. Again, it makes the dst inserted by dn_route_output_slow() not able to be released and also, it does not wait on the rcu and could potentially cause crash in the path where other users still refer to this dst. This patch makes sure both input and output path do not take dst->__refcnt before calling dn_insert_route() and also makes sure dnrt_free()/dst_free() is called when removing dst from the hash table. The only difference between those 2 calls is that dnrt_free() waits on the rcu while dst_free() does not. Signed-off-by:

Sowmini Varadhan authored
Each time we get an incoming SYN to the RDS_TCP_PORT, the TCP layer accepts the connection and then the rds_tcp_accept_one() callback is invoked to process the incoming connection. rds_tcp_accept_one() may reject the incoming syn for a number of reasons, e.g., commit 1a0e100f ("RDS: TCP: Force every connection to be initiated by numerically smaller IP address"), or because we are getting spammed by a malicious node that is triggering a flood of connection attempts to RDS_TCP_PORT. If the incoming syn is rejected, no data would have been sent on the TCP socket, and we do not need to be in TIME_WAIT state, so we set linger on the TCP socket before closing, thereby closing the socket efficiently with a RST.

The xSMI interface complies with the IEEE 802.3 clause 45 and is used by 10GbE devices. On 7k and 8k (as of now), such an interface is found and is used by Ethernet controllers. Patches 1-4 and 9 are cosmetic cleanups. Patches 5-7 are prerequisites to the xSMI support. Patches 8 and 10-11 add the xSMI support to the mvmdio driver, and a node is added both in the cp110 slave and master device trees. This was tested on an Armada 8040 mcbin, as well as on both the Armada 7040 DB and the Armada 8040 DB to ensure the SMI interface was still working. @Dave: patch 11 should go through the mvebu tree as asked by Gregory, thanks! ==================== Signed-off-by: -
