netfilter: add generic flow table infrastructure
This patch defines the API to interact with flow tables, this allows to
add, delete and lookup for entries in the flow table. This also adds the
generic garbage code that removes entries that have expired, ie. no
traffic has been seen for a while.
Users of the flow table infrastructure can delete entries via
flow_offload_dead(), which sets the dying bit, this signals the garbage
collector to release an entry from user context.

netfilter: nf_tables: add flow table netlink frontend
This patch introduces a netlink control plane to create, delete and dump
flow tables. Flow tables are identified by name, this name is used from

This also adds the infrastructure to add different flow table types, so
we can add one for each layer 3 protocol family.

netfilter: nf_conntrack: add IPS_OFFLOAD status bit
This new bit tells us that the conntrack entry is owned by the flow

# cat /proc/net/nf_conntrack

Note the [OFFLOAD] tag in the listing.
The timer of such conntrack entries look like stopped from userspace.
In practise, to make sure the conntrack entry does not go away, the
conntrack timer is periodically set to an arbitrary large value that
gets refreshed on every iteration from the garbage collector, so it
never expires- and they display no internal state in the case of TCP
flows. This allows us to save a bitcheck from the packet path via
nf_ct_is_expired().
Conntrack entries that have been offloaded to the flow table
infrastructure cannot be deleted/flushed via ctnetlink. The flow table
infrastructure is also responsible for releasing this conntrack entry.

netfilter: core: only allow one nat hook per hook point
The netfilter NAT core cannot deal with more than one NAT hook per hook
location (prerouting, input ...), because the NAT hooks install a NAT null
binding in case the iptables nat table (iptable_nat hooks) or the
corresponding nftables chain (nft nat hooks) doesn't specify a nat
transformation.
Null bindings are needed to detect port collsisions between NAT-ed and
non-NAT-ed connections.
This causes nftables NAT rules to not work when iptable_nat module is
loaded, and vice versa because nat binding has already been attached
when the second nat hook is consulted.
The netfilter core is not really the correct location to handle this
(hooks are just hooks, the core has no notion of what kinds of side
effects a hook implements), but its the only place where we can check
for conflicts between both iptables hooks and nftables hooks without
adding dependencies.
So add nat annotation to hook_ops to describe those hooks that will
add NAT bindings and then make core reject if such a hook already exists.
The annotation fills a padding hole, in case further restrictions appar
we might change this to a 'u8 type' instead of bool.

Cost for this is high. With synchronize_net() removed:
"The net benefit on an SMP machine with two cores is that creating a
new network namespace takes -40% of the original time."
This patch replaces synchronize_net+kvfree with call_rcu().
We store rcu_head at the tail of a structure that has no fixed layout,
i.e. we cannot use offsetof() to compute the start of the original
allocation. Thus store this information right after the rcu head.
We could simplify this by just placing the rcu_head at the start
of struct nf_hook_entries. However, this structure is used in
packet processing hotpath, so only place what is needed for that
at the beginning of the struct.

Merge branch 'ipv6-ipv4-nexthop-align'
Ido Schimmel says:
====================
ipv6: Align nexthop behaviour with IPv4
This set tries to eliminate some differences between IPv4's and IPv6's
treatment of nexthops. These differences are most likely a side effect
of IPv6's data structures (specifically 'rt6_info') that incorporate
both the route and the nexthop and the late addition of ECMP support in
commit
51ebd3181572 ("ipv6: add support of equal cost multipath
(ECMP)").
IPv4 and IPv6 do not react the same to certain netdev events. For
example, upon carrier change affected IPv4 nexthops are marked using the
RTNH_F_LINKDOWN flag and the nexthop group is rebalanced accordingly.
IPv6 on the other hand, does nothing which forces us to perform a
carrier check during route lookup and dump. This makes it difficult to
introduce features such as non-equal-cost multipath that are built on
top of this set [1].
In addition, when a netdev is put administratively down IPv4 nexthops
are marked using the RTNH_F_DEAD flag, whereas IPv6 simply flushes all
the routes using these nexthops. To be consistent with IPv4, multipath
routes should only be flushed when all nexthops in the group are
considered dead.
The first 12 patches introduce non-functional changes that store the
RTNH_F_DEAD and RTNH_F_LINKDOWN flags in IPv6 routes based on netdev
events, in a similar fashion to IPv4. This allows us to remove the
carrier check performed during route lookup and dump.
The next three patches make sure we only flush a multipath route when
all of its nexthops are dead.
Last three patches add test cases for IPv4/IPv6 FIB. These verify that
both address families react similarly to netdev events.
Finally, this series also serves as a good first step towards David
Ahern's goal of treating nexthops as standalone objects [2], as it makes
the code more in line with IPv4 where the nexthop and the nexthop group
are separate objects from the route itself.

Changes since RFC (feedback from David Ahern):
* Remove redundant declaration of rt6_ifdown() in patch 4 and adjust
comment referencing it accordingly
* Drop patch to flush multipath routes upon NETDEV_UNREGISTER. Reword
cover letter accordingly
* Use a temporary variable to make code more readable in patch 15

ipv6: Flush multipath routes when all siblings are dead
By default, IPv6 deletes nexthops from a multipath route when the
nexthop device is put administratively down. This differs from IPv4
where the nexthops are kept, but marked with the RTNH_F_DEAD flag. A
multipath route is flushed when all of its nexthops become dead.
Align IPv6 with IPv4 and have it conform to the same guidelines.
In case the multipath route needs to be flushed, its siblings are
flushed one by one. Otherwise, the nexthops are marked with the
appropriate flags and the tree walker is instructed to skip all the
siblings.

Daniel Borkmann says:
====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2018-01-07
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Add a start of a framework for extending struct xdp_buff without
having the overhead of populating every data at runtime. Idea
is to have a new per-queue struct xdp_rxq_info that holds read
mostly data (currently that is, queue number and a pointer to
the corresponding netdev) which is set up during rxqueue config
time. When a XDP program is invoked, struct xdp_buff holds a
pointer to struct xdp_rxq_info that the BPF program can then
walk. The user facing BPF program that uses struct xdp_md for
context can use these members directly, and the verifier rewrites
context access transparently by walking the xdp_rxq_info and
net_device pointers to load the data, from Jesper.
2) Redo the reporting of offload device information to user space
such that it works in combination with network namespaces. The
latter is reported through a device/inode tuple as similarly
done in other subsystems as well (e.g. perf) in order to identify
the namespace. For this to work, ns_get_path() has been generalized
such that the namespace can be retrieved not only from a specific
task (perf case), but also from a callback where we deduce the
netns (ns_common) from a netdevice. bpftool support using the new
uapi info and extensive test cases for test_offload.py in BPF
selftests have been added as well, from Jakub.
3) Add two bpftool improvements: i) properly report the bpftool
version such that it corresponds to the version from the kernel
source tree. So pick the right linux/version.h from the source
tree instead of the installed one. ii) fix bpftool and also
bpf_jit_disasm build with bintutils >= 2.9. The reason for the
build breakage is that binutils library changed the function
signature to select the disassembler. Given this is needed in
multiple tools, add a proper feature detection to the
tools/build/features infrastructure, from Roman.
4) Implement the BPF syscall command BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY for the
stacktrace map. It is currently unimplemented, but there are
use cases where user space needs to walk all stacktrace map
entries e.g. for dumping or deleting map entries w/o having to
close and recreate the map. Add BPF selftests along with it,
from Yonghong.
5) Few follow-up cleanups for the bpftool cgroup code: i) rename
the cgroup 'list' command into 'show' as we have it for other
subcommands as well, ii) then alias the 'show' command such that
'list' is accepted which is also common practice in iproute2,
and iii) remove couple of newlines from error messages using
p_err(), from Jakub.
6) Two follow-up cleanups to sockmap code: i) remove the unused
bpf_compute_data_end_sk_skb() function and ii) only build the
sockmap infrastructure when CONFIG_INET is enabled since it's
only aware of TCP sockets at this time, from John.

There is a need for XDP to know more about the RX-queue a given XDP
frames have arrived on. For both the XDP bpf-prog and kernel side.
Instead of extending struct xdp_buff each time new info is needed,
this patchset takes a different approach. Struct xdp_buff is only
extended with a pointer to a struct xdp_rxq_info (allowing for easier
extending this later). This xdp_rxq_info contains information related
to how the driver have setup the individual RX-queue's. This is
read-mostly information, and all xdp_buff frames (in drivers
napi_poll) point to the same xdp_rxq_info (per RX-queue).
We stress this data/cache-line is for read-mostly info. This is NOT
for dynamic per packet info, use the data_meta for such use-cases.
This patchset start out small, and only expose ingress_ifindex and the
RX-queue index to the XDP/BPF program. Access to tangible info like
the ingress ifindex and RX queue index, is fairly easy to comprehent.
The other future use-cases could allow XDP frames to be recycled back
to the originating device driver, by providing info on RX device and
queue number.
As XDP doesn't have driver feature flags, and eBPF code due to
bpf-tail-calls cannot determine that XDP driver invoke it, this
patchset have to update every driver that support XDP.
For driver developers (review individual driver patches!):
The xdp_rxq_info is tied to the drivers RX-ring(s). Whenever a RX-ring
modification require (temporary) stopping RX frames, then the
xdp_rxq_info should (likely) also be unregistred and re-registered,
especially if reallocating the pages in the ring. Make sure ethtool
set_channels does the right thing. When replacing XDP prog, if and
only if RX-ring need to be changed, then also re-register the
xdp_rxq_info.
I'm Cc'ing the individual driver patches to the registered maintainers.
Testing:
I've only tested the NIC drivers I have hardware for. The general
test procedure is to (DUT = Device Under Test):
(1) run pktgen script pktgen_sample04_many_flows.sh (against DUT)
(2) run samples/bpf program xdp_rxq_info --dev $DEV (on DUT)
(3) runtime modify number of NIC queues via ethtool -L (on DUT)

virtio_net: setup xdp_rxq_info
The virtio_net driver doesn't dynamically change the RX-ring queue
layout and backing pages, but instead reject XDP setup if all the
conditions for XDP is not meet. Thus, the xdp_rxq_info also remains
fairly static. This allow us to simply add the reg/unreg to
net_device open/close functions.

xdp: base API for new XDP rx-queue info concept
This patch only introduce the core data structures and API functions.
All XDP enabled drivers must use the API before this info can used.
There is a need for XDP to know more about the RX-queue a given XDP
frames have arrived on. For both the XDP bpf-prog and kernel side.
Instead of extending xdp_buff each time new info is needed, the patch
creates a separate read-mostly struct xdp_rxq_info, that contains this
info. We stress this data/cache-line is for read-only info. This is
NOT for dynamic per packet info, use the data_meta for such use-cases.
The performance advantage is this info can be setup at RX-ring init
time, instead of updating N-members in xdp_buff. A possible (driver
level) micro optimization is that xdp_buff->rxq assignment could be
done once per XDP/NAPI loop. The extra pointer deref only happens for
program needing access to this info (thus, no slowdown to existing

work is only enqueued if the connection destroy is not already
in progress: the test-flag-and-enqueue is done under rcu_read_lock,
while destroy first sets the flag, uses synchronize_rcu to
wait for existing reader threads to complete, and then starts
all the work-cancellation.

Merge branch 'l2tp-remove-configurable-offset-parameters'
James Chapman says:
====================
l2tp: remove configurable offset parameters
This patch series removes all code to support a configurable offset in
transmitted l2tp packets. Code to handle this is incomplete and buggy
and has been this way for years. If anyone tried to configure an
offset, it would be ignored for L2TPv2 tunnels, or for L2TPv3 tunnels,
could result in L2TPv3 packets being transmitted which are not
compliant with L2TPv3 RFC3931. This patch series removes the support
for configurable offsets.
No known userspace l2tp daemon configures an offset. However,
iproute2's "ip l2tp" command has an offset parameter and if set, the
value is passed to the kernel. This is the most likely use case where
offsets might be configured, e.g.
ip l2tp add tunnel local 1.1.1.1 remote 1.1.1.2 tunnel_id 1 \
peer_tunnel_id 2 encap ip
ip l2tp add session name l2tp0 tunnel_id 1 session_id 1 \
peer_session_id 2 offset 8
The above would result in packets being transmitted to 1.1.1.2 with 8
bytes padding between the L2TPv3 header and the payload. The peer
would need to be configured with the same offset value. However, the
packets are not compliant with the L2TPv3 RFC, hence I think it's
unlikely that offset is being used. With this patch series applied,
the offset would not be configured. The peer would need to be modified to
remove its offset setting too.
iproute2 should be modified to remove or ignore the ip l2tp offset
parameter.
This issue was discovered when reviewing a patch series from
lorenzo.bianconi@redhat.com which adds another netlink attribute to
configure the expected offset in received L2TPv3 packets. This change
is reverted by this series because offsets do not exist in L2TPv3
packets. These commits are:
commit
f15bc54eeecd ("l2tp: add peer_offset parameter")
commit
820da5357572 ("l2tp: fix missing print session offset info")
In more detail:
The L2TPv2 protocol supports a variable offset from the L2TPv2 header
to the payload to give the sender implementation some flexibility for
data alignment when adding L2TP headers on to payloads. The offset
value is indicated by an optional field in the L2TP header. Our L2TP
implementation already detects the presence of the optional offset in
received packets and skips those bytes when parsing packets. All
transmitted L2TPv2 packets are always transmitted with no offset.
L2TPv3 has no optional offset field in the L2TPv3 packet
header. Instead, L2TPv3 defines optional fields in a "Layer-2 Specific
Sublayer". At the time when the original L2TP code was written, there
was talk at IETF of offset being implemented in a new Layer-2 Specific
Sublayer. A L2TP_ATTR_OFFSET netlink attribute was added so that this
offset could be configured and the intention was to allow it to be
also used to set the tx offset for L2TPv2. However, no L2TPv3 offset
was ever specified and the L2TP_ATTR_OFFSET parameter was forgotten
about.
Setting L2TP_ATTR_OFFSET results in L2TPv3 packets being transmitted
with the specified number of bytes padding between L2TPv3 header and
payload. This is not compliant with L2TPv3 RFC3931. So this change
removes the configurable offset altogether while retaining
L2TP_ATTR_OFFSET in the API for backwards compatibility. If
L2TP_ATTR_OFFSET is given, its value is now silently ignored.
