* | netfilter: bridge: add connection tracking systemPablo Neira Ayuso2019-05-301-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds basic connection tracking support for the bridge, including initial IPv4 support. This patch register two hooks to deal with the bridge forwarding path, one from the bridge prerouting hook to call nf_conntrack_in(); and another from the bridge postrouting hook to confirm the entry. The conntrack bridge prerouting hook defragments packets before passing them to nf_conntrack_in() to look up for an existing entry, otherwise a new entry is allocated and it is attached to the skbuff. The conntrack bridge postrouting hook confirms new conntrack entries, ie. if this is the first packet seen, then it adds the entry to the hashtable and (if needed) it refragments the skbuff into the original fragments, leaving the geometry as is if possible. Exceptions are linearized skbuffs, eg. skbuffs that are passed up to nfqueue and conntrack helpers, as well as cloned skbuff for the local delivery (eg. tcpdump), also in case of bridge port flooding (cloned skbuff too). The packet defragmentation is done through the ip_defrag() call. This forces us to save the bridge control buffer, reset the IP control buffer area and then restore it after call. This function also bumps the IP fragmentation statistics, it would be probably desiderable to have independent statistics for the bridge defragmentation/refragmentation. The maximum fragment length is stored in the control buffer and it is used to refragment the skbuff from the postrouting path. The new fraglist splitter and fragment transformer APIs are used to implement the bridge refragmentation code. The br_ip_fragment() function drops the packet in case the maximum fragment size seen is larger than the output port MTU. This patchset follows the principle that conntrack should not drop packets, so users can do it through policy via invalid state matching. Like br_netfilter, there is no refragmentation for packets that are passed up for local delivery, ie. prerouting -> input path. There are calls to nf_reset() already in several spots in the stack since time ago already, eg. af_packet, that show that skbuff fraglist handling from the netif_rx path is supported already. The helpers are called from the postrouting hook, before confirmation, from there we may see packet floods to bridge ports. Then, although unlikely, this may result in exercising the helpers many times for each clone. It would be good to explore how to pass all the packets in a list to the conntrack hook to do this handle only once for this case.

* net: bridge: convert multicast to generic rhashtableNikolay Aleksandrov2018-12-051-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bridge multicast code currently uses a custom resizable hashtable which predates the generic rhashtable interface. It has many shortcomings compared and duplicates functionality that is presently available via the generic rhashtable, so this patch removes the custom rhashtable implementation in favor of the kernel's generic rhashtable. The hash maximum is kept and the rhashtable's size is used to do a loose check if it's reached in which case we revert to the old behaviour and disable further bridge multicast processing. Also now we can support any hash maximum, doesn't need to be a power of 2. v3: add non-rcu br_mdb_get variant and use it where multicast_lock is held to avoid RCU splat, drop hash_max function and just set it directly v2: handle when IGMP snooping is undefined, add br_mdb_init/uninit placeholders Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* netpoll: allow cleanup to be synchronousDebabrata Banerjee2018-10-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a problem introduced by: commit 2cde6acd49da ("netpoll: Fix __netpoll_rcu_free so that it can hold the rtnl lock") When using netconsole on a bond, __netpoll_cleanup can asynchronously recurse multiple times, each __netpoll_free_async call can result in more __netpoll_free_async's. This means there is now a race between cleanup_work queues on multiple netpoll_info's on multiple devices and the configuration of a new netpoll. For example if a netconsole is set to enable 0, reconfigured, and enable 1 immediately, this netconsole will likely not work. Given the reason for __netpoll_free_async is it can be called when rtnl is not locked, if it is locked, we should be able to execute synchronously. It appears to be locked everywhere it's called from. Generalize the design pattern from the teaming driver for current callers of __netpoll_free_async.

* net: bridge: disable bridge MTU auto tuning if it was set manuallyNikolay Aleksandrov2018-03-311-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As Roopa noted today the biggest source of problems when configuring bridge and ports is that the bridge MTU keeps changing automatically on port events (add/del/changemtu). That leads to inconsistent behaviour and network config software needs to chase the MTU and fix it on each such event. Let's improve on that situation and allow for the user to set any MTU within ETH_MIN/MAX limits, but once manually configured it is the user's responsibility to keep it correct afterwards. In case the MTU isn't manually set - the behaviour reverts to the previous and the bridge follows the minimum MTU.

* net: bridge: set min MTU on port events and allow user to set maxNikolay Aleksandrov2018-03-311-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently the bridge was changed to automatically set maximum MTU on port events (add/del/changemtu) when vlan filtering is enabled, but that actually changes behaviour in a way which breaks some setups and can lead to packet drops. In order to still allow that maximum to be set while being compatible, we add the ability for the user to tune the bridge MTU up to the maximum when vlan filtering is enabled, but that has to be done explicitly and all port events (add/del/changemtu) lead to resetting that MTU to the minimum as before.

* net: bridge: use rhashtable for fdbsNikolay Aleksandrov2017-12-131-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this patch the bridge used a fixed 256 element hash table which was fine for small use cases (in my tests it starts to degrade above 1000 entries), but it wasn't enough for medium or large scale deployments. Modern setups have thousands of participants in a single bridge, even only enabling vlans and adding a few thousand vlan entries will cause a few thousand fdbs to be automatically inserted per participating port. So we need to scale the fdb table considerably to cope with modern workloads, and this patch converts it to use a rhashtable for its operations thus improving the bridge scalability. Tests show the following results (10 runs each), at up to 1000 entries rhashtable is ~3% slower, at 2000 rhashtable is 30% faster, at 3000 it is 2 times faster and at 30000 it is 50 times faster. Obviously this happens because of the properties of the two constructs and is expected, rhashtable keeps pretty much a constant time even with 10000000 entries (tested), while the fixed hash table struggles considerably even above 10000. As a side effect this also reduces the net_bridge struct size from 3248 bytes to 1344 bytes. Also note that the key struct is 8 bytes.

* bridge: switchdev: Clear forward mark when transmitting packetIdo Schimmel2017-09-011-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 6bc506b4fb06 ("bridge: switchdev: Add forward mark support for stacked devices") added the 'offload_fwd_mark' bit to the skb in order to allow drivers to indicate to the bridge driver that they already forwarded the packet in L2. In case the bit is set, before transmitting the packet from each port, the port's mark is compared with the mark stored in the skb's control block. If both marks are equal, we know the packet arrived from a switch device that already forwarded the packet and it's not re-transmitted. However, if the packet is transmitted from the bridge device itself (e.g., br0), we should clear the 'offload_fwd_mark' bit as the mark stored in the skb's control block isn't valid. This scenario can happen in rare cases where a packet was trapped during L3 forwarding and forwarded by the kernel to a bridge device.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With 802.1ad support the vlan_ingress code started checking for vlan protocol mismatch which causes the current tag to be inserted and the bridge vlan protocol & pvid to be set. The vlan tag insertion changes the skb mac_header and thus the lookup mac dest pointer which was loaded prior to calling br_allowed_ingress in br_handle_frame_finish is VLAN_HLEN bytes off now, pointing to the last two bytes of the destination mac and the first four of the source mac causing lookups to always fail and broadcasting all such packets to all ports. Same thing happens for locally originated packets when passing via br_dev_xmit. So load the dest pointer after the vlan checks and possible skb change.

* net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.David S. Miller2017-06-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources can occur in one of two different places. Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor(). The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it is safe to perform the freeing. netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast address lists are flushed. netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the netdev references all go away. Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor() almost universally does also a free_netdev(). This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice(). Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice() fails. If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor(). This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same. However, this means that the resources that would normally be released by netdev->destructor() will not be. Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice() fails. Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks. Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev(). netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for free_netdev(). netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice(). Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit() and netdev->priv_destructor(). And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* net: bridge: shorten ageing time on topology changeVivien Didelot2016-12-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 802.1D [1] specifies that the bridges must use a short value to age out dynamic entries in the Filtering Database for a period, once a topology change has been communicated by the root bridge. Add a bridge_ageing_time member in the net_bridge structure to store the bridge ageing time value configured by the user (ioctl/netlink/sysfs). If we are using in-kernel STP, shorten the ageing time value to twice the forward delay used by the topology when the topology change flag is set. When the flag is cleared, restore the configured ageing time.

* net: bridge: add support for IGMP/MLD stats and export them via netlinkNikolay Aleksandrov2016-06-301-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds stats support for the currently used IGMP/MLD types by the bridge. The stats are per-port (plus one stat per-bridge) and per-direction (RX/TX). The stats are exported via netlink via the new linkxstats API (RTM_GETSTATS). In order to minimize the performance impact, a new option is used to enable/disable the stats - multicast_stats_enabled, similar to the recent vlan stats. Also in order to avoid multiple IGMP/MLD type lookups and checks, we make use of the current "igmp" member of the bridge private skb->cb region to record the type on Rx (both host-generated and external packets pass by multicast_rcv()). We can do that since the igmp member was used as a boolean and all the valid IGMP/MLD types are positive values. The normal bridge fast-path is not affected at all, the only affected paths are the flooding ones and since we make use of the IGMP/MLD type, we can quickly determine if the packet should be counted using cache-hot data (cb's igmp member). We add counters for: * IGMP Queries * IGMP Leaves * IGMP v1/v2/v3 reports * MLD Queries * MLD Leaves * MLD v1/v2 reports These are invaluable when monitoring or debugging complex multicast setups with bridges.

This causes a false positive lockdep splat because the port interfaces' addr_list_lock is taken when br_manage_promisc() runs after the bridge's addr list lock was already taken. To remove the false positive introduce a custom bridge addr_list_lock class and set it on bridge init.

* bridge: vlan: add per-vlan struct and move to rhashtablesNikolay Aleksandrov2015-09-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the bridge vlan implementation to use rhashtables instead of bitmaps. The main motivation behind this change is that we need extensible per-vlan structures (both per-port and global) so more advanced features can be introduced and the vlan support can be extended. I've tried to break this up but the moment net_port_vlans is changed and the whole API goes away, thus this is a larger patch. A few short goals of this patch are: - Extensible per-vlan structs stored in rhashtables and a sorted list - Keep user-visible behaviour (compressed vlans etc) - Keep fastpath ingress/egress logic the same (optimizations to come later) Here's a brief list of some of the new features we'd like to introduce: - per-vlan counters - vlan ingress/egress mapping - per-vlan igmp configuration - vlan priorities - avoid fdb entries replication (e.g. local fdb scaling issues) The structure is kept single for both global and per-port entries so to avoid code duplication where possible and also because we'll soon introduce "port0 / aka bridge as port" which should simplify things further (thanks to Vlad for the suggestion!). Now we have per-vlan global rhashtable (bridge-wide) and per-vlan port rhashtable, if an entry is added to a port it'll get a pointer to its global context so it can be quickly accessed later. There's also a sorted vlan list which is used for stable walks and some user-visible behaviour such as the vlan ranges, also for error paths. VLANs are stored in a "vlan group" which currently contains the rhashtable, sorted vlan list and the number of "real" vlan entries. A good side-effect of this change is that it resembles how hw keeps per-vlan data. One important note after this change is that if a VLAN is being looked up in the bridge's rhashtable for filtering purposes (or to check if it's an existing usable entry, not just a global context) then the new helper br_vlan_should_use() needs to be used if the vlan is found. In case the lookup is done only with a port's vlan group, then this check can be skipped. Things tested so far: - basic vlan ingress/egress - pvids - untagged vlans - undef CONFIG_BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING - adding/deleting vlans in different scenarios (with/without global ctx, while transmitting traffic, in ranges etc) - loading/removing the module while having/adding/deleting vlans - extracting bridge vlan information (user ABI), compressed requests - adding/deleting fdbs on vlans - bridge mac change, promisc mode - default pvid change - kmemleak ON during the whole time Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jesper reported that br_netfilter always registers the hooks since this is part of the bridge core. This harms performance for people that don't need this. This patch modularizes br_netfilter so it can be rmmod'ed, thus, the hooks can be unregistered. I think the bridge netfilter should have been a separated module since the beginning, Patrick agreed on that. Note that this is breaking compatibility for users that expect that bridge netfilter is going to be available after explicitly 'modprobe bridge' or via automatic load through brctl. However, the damage can be easily undone by modprobing br_netfilter. The bridge core also spots a message to provide a clue to people that didn't notice that this has been deprecated. On top of that, the plan is that nftables will not rely on this software layer, but integrate the connection tracking into the bridge layer to enable stateful filtering and NAT, which is was bridge netfilter users seem to require. This patch still keeps the fake_dst_ops in the bridge core, since this is required by when the bridge port is initialized. So we can safely modprobe/rmmod br_netfilter anytime.

* bridge: Automatically manage port promiscuous mode.Vlad Yasevich2014-05-161-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There exist configurations where the administrator or another management entity has the foreknowledge of all the mac addresses of end systems that are being bridged together. In these environments, the administrator can statically configure known addresses in the bridge FDB and disable flooding and learning on ports. This makes it possible to turn off promiscuous mode on the interfaces connected to the bridge. Here is why disabling flooding and learning allows us to control promiscuity: Consider port X. All traffic coming into this port from outside the bridge (ingress) will be either forwarded through other ports of the bridge (egress) or dropped. Forwarding (egress) is defined by FDB entries and by flooding in the event that no FDB entry exists. In the event that flooding is disabled, only FDB entries define the egress. Once learning is disabled, only static FDB entries provided by a management entity define the egress. If we provide information from these static FDBs to the ingress port X, then we'll be able to accept all traffic that can be successfully forwarded and drop all the other traffic sooner without spending CPU cycles to process it. Another way to define the above is as following equations: ingress = egress + drop expanding egress ingress = static FDB + learned FDB + flooding + drop disabling flooding and learning we a left with ingress = static FDB + drop By adding addresses from the static FDB entries to the MAC address filter of an ingress port X, we fully define what the bridge can process without dropping and can thus turn off promiscuous mode, thus dropping packets sooner. There have been suggestions that we may want to allow learning and update the filters with learned addresses as well. This would require mac-level authentication similar to 802.1x to prevent attacks against the hw filters as they are limited resource. Additionally, if the user places the bridge device in promiscuous mode, all ports are placed in promiscuous mode regardless of the changes to flooding and learning. Since the above functionality depends on full static configuration, we have also require that vlan filtering be enabled to take advantage of this. The reason is that the bridge has to be able to receive and process VLAN-tagged frames and the there are only 2 ways to accomplish this right now: promiscuous mode or vlan filtering.

* net: get rid of SET_ETHTOOL_OPSWilfried Klaebe2014-05-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | net: get rid of SET_ETHTOOL_OPS Dave Miller mentioned he'd like to see SET_ETHTOOL_OPS gone. This does that. Mostly done via coccinelle script: @@ struct ethtool_ops *ops; struct net_device *dev; @@ - SET_ETHTOOL_OPS(dev, ops); + dev->ethtool_ops = ops; Compile tested only, but I'd seriously wonder if this broke anything.
