netfilter: nf_tables: autoload modules from the abort path

2020-01-24T19:54:29Z

This patch introduces a list of pending module requests. This new module list is composed of nft_module_request objects that contain the module name and one status field that tells if the module has been already loaded (the 'done' field). In the first pass, from the preparation phase, the netlink command finds that a module is missing on this list. Then, a module request is allocated and added to this list and nft_request_module() returns -EAGAIN. This triggers the abort path with the autoload parameter set on from nfnetlink, request_module() is called and the module request enters the 'done' state. Since the mutex is released when loading modules from the abort phase, the module list is zapped so this is iteration occurs over a local list. Therefore, the request_module() calls happen when object lists are in consistent state (after fulling aborting the transaction) and the commit list is empty. On the second pass, the netlink command will find that it already tried to load the module, so it does not request it again and nft_request_module() returns 0. Then, there is a look up to find the object that the command was missing. If the module was successfully loaded, the command proceeds normally since it finds the missing object in place, otherwise -ENOENT is reported to userspace. This patch also updates nfnetlink to include the reason to enter the abort phase, which is required for this new autoload module rationale.

net-tcp: Disable TCP ssthresh metrics cache by default

2019-12-10T04:17:48Z

This patch introduces a sysctl knob "net.ipv4.tcp_no_ssthresh_metrics_save" that disables TCP ssthresh metrics cache by default. Other parts of TCP metrics cache, e.g. rtt, cwnd, remain unchanged. As modern networks becoming more and more dynamic, TCP metrics cache today often causes more harm than benefits. For example, the same IP address is often shared by different subscribers behind NAT in residential networks. Even if the IP address is not shared by different users, caching the slow-start threshold of a previous short flow using loss-based congestion control (e.g. cubic) often causes the future longer flows of the same network path to exit slow-start prematurely with abysmal throughput. Caching ssthresh is very risky and can lead to terrible performance. Therefore it makes sense to make disabling ssthresh caching by default and opt-in for specific networks by the administrators. This practice also has worked well for several years of deployment with CUBIC congestion control at Google.

ipv6: keep track of routes using src

2019-11-21T22:45:55Z

Use a per namespace counter, increment it on successful creation of any route using the source address, decrement it on deletion of such routes. This allows us to check easily if the routing decision in the current namespace depends on the packet source. Will be used by the next patch.

sctp: add support for Primary Path Switchover

2019-11-08T22:18:32Z

This is a new feature defined in section 5 of rfc7829: "Primary Path Switchover". By introducing a new tunable parameter: Primary.Switchover.Max.Retrans (PSMR) The primary path will be changed to another active path when the path error counter on the old primary path exceeds PSMR, so that "the SCTP sender is allowed to continue data transmission on a new working path even when the old primary destination address becomes active again". This patch is to add this tunable parameter, 'ps_retrans' per netns, sock, asoc and transport. It also allows a user to change ps_retrans per netns by sysctl, and ps_retrans per sock/asoc/transport will be initialized with it. The check will be done in sctp_do_8_2_transport_strike() when this feature is enabled. Note this feature is disabled by initializing 'ps_retrans' per netns as 0xffff by default, and its value can't be less than 'pf_retrans' when changing by sysctl. v3->v4: - add define SCTP_PS_RETRANS_MAX 0xffff, and use it on extra2 of sysctl 'ps_retrans'. - add a new entry for ps_retrans on ip-sysctl.txt.

sctp: add pf_expose per netns and sock and asoc

2019-11-08T22:18:32Z

As said in rfc7829, section 3, point 12: The SCTP stack SHOULD expose the PF state of its destination addresses to the ULP as well as provide the means to notify the ULP of state transitions of its destination addresses from active to PF, and vice versa. However, it is recommended that an SCTP stack implementing SCTP-PF also allows for the ULP to be kept ignorant of the PF state of its destinations and the associated state transitions, thus allowing for retention of the simpler state transition model of [RFC4960] in the ULP. Not only does it allow to expose the PF state to ULP, but also allow to ignore sctp-pf to ULP. So this patch is to add pf_expose per netns, sock and asoc. And in sctp_assoc_control_transport(), ulp_notify will be set to false if asoc->expose is not 'enabled' in next patch. It also allows a user to change pf_expose per netns by sysctl, and pf_expose per sock and asoc will be initialized with it. Note that pf_expose also works for SCTP_GET_PEER_ADDR_INFO sockopt, to not allow a user to query the state of a sctp-pf peer address when pf_expose is 'disabled', as said in section 7.3. v1->v2: - Fix a build warning noticed by Nathan Chancellor. v2->v3: - set pf_expose to UNUSED by default to keep compatible with old applications. v3->v4: - add a new entry for pf_expose on ip-sysctl.txt, as Marcelo suggested. - change this patch to 1/5, and move sctp_assoc_control_transport change into 2/5, as Marcelo suggested. - use SCTP_PF_EXPOSE_UNSET instead of SCTP_PF_EXPOSE_UNUSED, and set SCTP_PF_EXPOSE_UNSET to 0 in enum, as Marcelo suggested.

can: netns: remove "can_" prefix from members struct netns_can

2019-09-04T11:29:14Z

This patch improves the code reability by removing the redundant "can_" prefix from the members of struct netns_can (as the struct netns_can itself is the member "can" of the struct net.) The conversion is done with: sed -i \ -e "s/struct can_dev_rcv_lists \*can_rx_alldev_list;/struct can_dev_rcv_lists *rx_alldev_list;/" \ -e "s/spinlock_t can_rcvlists_lock;/spinlock_t rcvlists_lock;/" \ -e "s/struct timer_list can_stattimer;/struct timer_list stattimer; /" \ -e "s/can\.can_rx_alldev_list/can.rx_alldev_list/g" \ -e "s/can\.can_rcvlists_lock/can.rcvlists_lock/g" \ -e "s/can\.can_stattimer/can.stattimer/g" \ include/net/netns/can.h \ net/can/*.[ch] Signed-off-by: Oleksij Rempel Acked-by: Oliver Hartkopp Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde
