The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely unexplained. They also caused a huge performance regression, because "->poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect calls. Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the "->get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer to the poll head instead. That gets rid of one of the new indirections. But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted for the regular case. The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental redesign.

Now sctp GSO uses skb_gro_receive() to append the data into head skb frag_list. However it actually only needs very few code from skb_gro_receive(). Besides, NAPI_GRO_CB has to be set while most of its members are not needed here. This patch is to add sctp_packet_gso_append() to build GSO frames instead of skb_gro_receive(), and it would avoid many unnecessary checks and make the code clearer. Note that sctp will use page frags instead of frag_list to build GSO frames in another patch. But it may take time, as sctp's GSO frames may have different size. skb_segment() can only split it into the frags with the same size, which would break the border of sctp chunks.

Currently, we use check_hlist() for garbage colleciton. However, we
use the ‘zone’ from the counted entry to query the existence of
existing entries in the hlist. This could be wrong when they are in
different zones, and this patch fixes this issue.

strp_unpause queues strp_work in order to parse any messages that arrived while the strparser was paused. However, the process invoking strp_unpause could eagerly parse a buffered message itself if it held the sock lock. __strp_unpause is an alternative to strp_pause that avoids the scheduling overhead that results when a receiving thread unpauses the strparser and waits for the next message to be delivered by the workqueue thread.

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2018-06-05
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Add a new BPF hook for sendmsg similar to existing hooks for bind and
connect: "This allows to override source IP (including the case when it's
set via cmsg(3)) and destination IP:port for unconnected UDP (slow path).
TCP and connected UDP (fast path) are not affected. This makes UDP support
complete, that is, connected UDP is handled by connect hooks, unconnected
by sendmsg ones.", from Andrey.
2) Rework of the AF_XDP API to allow extending it in future for type writer
model if necessary. In this mode a memory window is passed to hardware
and multiple frames might be filled into that window instead of just one
that is the case in the current fixed frame-size model. With the new
changes made this can be supported without having to add a new descriptor
format. Also, core bits for the zero-copy support for AF_XDP have been
merged as agreed upon, where i40e bits will be routed via Jeff later on.
Various improvements to documentation and sample programs included as
well, all from Björn and Magnus.
3) Given BPF's flexibility, a new program type has been added to implement
infrared decoders. Quote: "The kernel IR decoders support the most
widely used IR protocols, but there are many protocols which are not
supported. [...] There is a 'long tail' of unsupported IR protocols,
for which lircd is need to decode the IR. IR encoding is done in such
a way that some simple circuit can decode it; therefore, BPF is ideal.
[...] user-space can define a decoder in BPF, attach it to the rc
device through the lirc chardev.", from Sean.
4) Several improvements and fixes to BPF core, among others, dumping map
and prog IDs into fdinfo which is a straight forward way to correlate
BPF objects used by applications, removing an indirect call and therefore
retpoline in all map lookup/update/delete calls by invoking the callback
directly for 64 bit archs, adding a new bpf_skb_cgroup_id() BPF helper
for tc BPF programs to have an efficient way of looking up cgroup v2 id
for policy or other use cases. Fixes to make sure we zero tunnel/xfrm
state that hasn't been filled, to allow context access wrt pt_regs in
32 bit archs for tracing, and last but not least various test cases
for fixes that landed in bpf earlier, from Daniel.
5) Get rid of the ndo_xdp_flush API and extend the ndo_xdp_xmit with
a XDP_XMIT_FLUSH flag instead which allows to avoid one indirect
call as flushing is now merged directly into ndo_xdp_xmit(), from Jesper.
6) Add a new bpf_get_current_cgroup_id() helper that can be used in
tracing to retrieve the cgroup id from the current process in order
to allow for e.g. aggregation of container-level events, from Yonghong.
7) Two follow-up fixes for BTF to reject invalid input values and
related to that also two test cases for BPF kselftests, from Martin.
8) Various API improvements to the bpf_fib_lookup() helper, that is,
dropping MPLS bits which are not fully hashed out yet, rejecting
invalid helper flags, returning error for unsupported address
families as well as renaming flowlabel to flowinfo, from David.
9) Various fixes and improvements to sockmap BPF kselftests in particular
in proper error detection and data verification, from Prashant.
10) Two arm32 BPF JIT improvements. One is to fix imm range check with
regards to whether immediate fits into 24 bits, and a naming cleanup
to get functions related to rsh handling consistent to those handling
lsh, from Wang.
11) Two compile warning fixes in BPF, one for BTF and a false positive
to silent gcc in stack_map_get_build_id_offset(), from Arnd.
12) Add missing seg6.h header into tools include infrastructure in order
to fix compilation of BPF kselftests, from Mathieu.
13) Several formatting cleanups in the BPF UAPI helper description that
also fix an error during rst2man compilation, from Quentin.
14) Hide an unused variable in sk_msg_convert_ctx_access() when IPv6 is
not built into the kernel, from Yue.
15) Remove a useless double assignment in dev_map_enqueue(), from Colin.

Some of the code paths calculating flow hash for IPv6 use flowlabel member of struct flowi6 which, despite its name, encodes both flow label and traffic class. If traffic class changes within a TCP connection (as e.g. ssh does), ECMP route can switch between path. It's also inconsistent with other code paths where ip6_flowlabel() (returning only flow label) is used to feed the key. Use only flow label everywhere, including one place where hash key is set using ip6_flowinfo(). Fixes:

If there is a significant amount of chains list search is too slow, so add an rhlist table for this. This speeds up ruleset loading: for every new rule we have to check if the name already exists in current generation. We need to be able to cope with duplicate chain names in case a transaction drops the nfnl mutex (for request_module) and the abort of this old transaction is still pending. The list is kept -- we need a way to iterate chains even if hash resize is in progress without missing an entry.

Before this patch, cloned expressions are released via ->destroy. This is a problem for the new connlimit expression since the ->destroy path drop a reference on the conntrack modules and it unregisters hooks. The new ->destroy_clone provides context that this expression is being released from the packet path, so it is mirroring ->clone(), where neither module reference is dropped nor hooks need to be unregistered - because this done from the control plane path from the ->init() path.

Use garbage collector to schedule removal of elements based of feedback from expression that this element comes with. Therefore, the garbage collector is not guided by timeout expirations in this new mode. The new connlimit expression sets on the NFT_EXPR_GC flag to enable this behaviour, the dynset expression needs to explicitly enable the garbage collector via set->ops->gc_init call.

The following ruleset:
add table ip filter
add chain ip filter input { type filter hook input priority 4; }
add chain ip filter ap
add rule ip filter input jump ap
add rule ip filter ap masquerade
results in a panic, because the masquerade extension should be rejected
from the filter chain. The existing validation is missing a chain
dependency check when the rule is added to the non-base chain.
This patch fixes the problem by walking down the rules from the
basechains, searching for either immediate or lookup expressions, then
jumping to non-base chains and again walking down the rules to perform
the expression validation, so we make sure the full ruleset graph is
validated. This is done only once from the commit phase, in case of

In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this allocates the maximum size expected for all possible types and adds sanity-checks at both registration and usage to make sure nothing gets out of sync. This matches the proposed VLA solution for nfnetlink[2]. The values chosen here were based on finding assignments for .maxtype and .slave_maxtype and manually counting the enums: slave_maxtype (max 33): IFLA_BRPORT_MAX 33 IFLA_BOND_SLAVE_MAX 9 maxtype (max 45): IFLA_BOND_MAX 28 IFLA_BR_MAX 45 __IFLA_CAIF_HSI_MAX 8 IFLA_CAIF_MAX 4 IFLA_CAN_MAX 16 IFLA_GENEVE_MAX 12 IFLA_GRE_MAX 25 IFLA_GTP_MAX 5 IFLA_HSR_MAX 7 IFLA_IPOIB_MAX 4 IFLA_IPTUN_MAX 21 IFLA_IPVLAN_MAX 3 IFLA_MACSEC_MAX 15 IFLA_MACVLAN_MAX 7 IFLA_PPP_MAX 2 __IFLA_RMNET_MAX 4 IFLA_VLAN_MAX 6 IFLA_VRF_MAX 2 IFLA_VTI_MAX 7 IFLA_VXLAN_MAX 28 VETH_INFO_MAX 2 VXCAN_INFO_MAX 2 This additionally changes maxtype and slave_maxtype fields to unsigned, since they're only ever using positive values.

mq offload is trivial, we just need to let the device know that the root qdisc is mq. Alternative approach would be to export qdisc_lookup() and make drivers check the root type themselves, but notification via ndo_setup_tc is more in line with other qdiscs. Note that mq doesn't hold any stats on it's own, it just adds up stats of its children. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

AFAICT struct gnet_stats_queue.qlen is not used in Qdiscs. It may, however, be useful for offloads to report HW queue length there. Add that value to the result of qdisc_qlen_sum(). Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

synchronize_rcu() is expensive. The commit phase currently enforces an unconditional synchronize_rcu() after incrementing the generation counter. This is to make sure that a packet always sees a consistent chain, either nft_do_chain is still using old generation (it will skip the newly added rules), or the new one (it will skip old ones that might still be linked into the list). We could just remove the synchronize_rcu(), it would not cause a crash but it could cause us to evaluate a rule that was removed and new rule for the same packet, instead of either-or. To resolve this, add rule pointer array holding two generations, the current one and the future generation. In commit phase, allocate the rule blob and populate it with the rules that will be active in the new generation. Then, make this rule blob public, replacing the old generation pointer. Then the generation counter can be incremented. nft_do_chain() will either continue to use the current generation (in case loop was invoked right before increment), or the new one.

The net_failover driver provides an automated failover mechanism via APIs to create and destroy a failover master netdev and manages a primary and standby slave netdevs that get registered via the generic failover infrastructure. The failover netdev acts a master device and controls 2 slave devices. The original paravirtual interface gets registered as 'standby' slave netdev and a passthru/vf device with the same MAC gets registered as 'primary' slave netdev. Both 'standby' and 'failover' netdevs are associated with the same 'pci' device. The user accesses the network interface via 'failover' netdev. The 'failover' netdev chooses 'primary' netdev as default for transmits when it is available with link up and running. This can be used by paravirtual drivers to enable an alternate low latency datapath. It also enables hypervisor controlled live migration of a VM with direct attached VF by failing over to the paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged.

The failover module provides a generic interface for paravirtual drivers to register a netdev and a set of ops with a failover instance. The ops are used as event handlers that get called to handle netdev register/ unregister/link change/name change events on slave pci ethernet devices with the same mac address as the failover netdev. This enables paravirtual drivers to use a VF as an accelerated low latency datapath. It also allows migration of VMs with direct attached VFs by failing over to the paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged.
