nf_tables updates for net-next
The following patchset contains the following nf_tables updates,
mostly updates from Patrick McHardy, they are:
* Add the "inet" table and filter chain type for this new netfilter
family: NFPROTO_INET. This special table/chain allows IPv4 and IPv6
rules, this should help to simplify the burden in the administration
of dual stack firewalls. This also includes several patches to prepare
the infrastructure for this new table and a new meta extension to
match the layer 3 and 4 protocol numbers, from Patrick McHardy.
* Load both IPv4 and IPv6 conntrack modules in nft_ct if the rule is used
in NFPROTO_INET, as we don't certainly know which one would be used,
also from Patrick McHardy.
* Do not allow to delete a table that contains sets, otherwise these
sets become orphan, from Patrick McHardy.
* Hold a reference to the corresponding nf_tables family module when
creating a table of that family type, to avoid the module deletion
when in use, from Patrick McHardy.
* Update chain counters before setting the chain policy to ensure that
we don't leave the chain in inconsistent state in case of errors (aka.
restore chain atomicity). This also fixes a possible leak if it fails
to allocate the chain counters if no counters are passed to be restored,
from Patrick McHardy.
* Don't check for overflows in the table counter if we are just renaming
a chain, from Patrick McHardy.
* Replay the netlink request after dropping the nfnl lock to load the
module that supports provides a chain type, from Patrick.
* Fix chain type module references, from Patrick.
* Several cleanups, function renames, constification and code
refactorizations also from Patrick McHardy.
* Add support to set the connmark, this can be used to set it based on
the meta mark (similar feature to -j CONNMARK --restore), from
Kristian Evensen.
* A couple of fixes to the recently added meta/set support and nft_reject,
and fix missing chain type unregistration if we fail to register our
the family table/filter chain type, from myself.

Currently, only 'bearer_lock' is used to protect struct link_req in
the function disc_timeout(). This is unsafe, since the member fields
'num_nodes' and 'timer_intv' might be accessed by below three different
threads simultaneously, none of them grabbing bearer_lock in the
critical region:
link_activate()
tipc_bearer_add_dest()
tipc_disc_add_dest()
req->num_nodes++;
tipc_link_reset()
tipc_bearer_remove_dest()
tipc_disc_remove_dest()
req->num_nodes--
disc_update()
read req->num_nodes
write req->timer_intv
disc_timeout()
read req->num_nodes
read/write req->timer_intv
Without lock protection, the only symptom of a race is that discovery
messages occasionally may not be sent out. This is not fatal, since such
messages are best-effort anyway. On the other hand, since discovery
messages are not time critical, adding a protecting lock brings no
serious overhead either. So we add a new, dedicated spinlock in
order to guarantee absolute data consistency in link_req objects.
This also helps reduce the overall role of the bearer_lock, which
we want to remove completely in a later commit series.

The flag 'has_redundant_link' is defined only in RESET and ACTIVATE
protocol messages. Due to an ambiguity in the protocol specification it
is currently also transferred in STATE messages. Its value is used to
initialize a link state variable, 'permit_changeover', which is used
to inhibit futile link failover attempts when it is known that the
peer node has no working links at the moment, although the local node
may still think it has one.
The fact that 'has_redundant_link' incorrectly is read from STATE
messages has the effect that 'permit_changeover' sometimes gets a wrong
value, and permanently blocks any links from being re-established. Such
failures can only occur in in dual-link systems, and are extremely rare.
This bug seems to have always been present in the code.
Furthermore, since commit b4b5610223f17790419b03eaa962b0e3ecf930d7
("tipc: Ensure both nodes recognize loss of contact between them"),
the 'permit_changeover' field serves no purpose any more. The task of
enforcing 'lost contact' cycles at both peer endpoints is now taken
by a new mechanism, using the flags WAIT_NODE_DOWN and WAIT_PEER_DOWN
in struct tipc_node to abort unnecessary failover attempts.
We therefore remove the 'has_redundant_link' flag from STATE messages,
as well as the now redundant 'permit_changeover' variable.

This patch built on top of Commit 299603e8370a93dd5d8e8d800f0dff1ce2c53d36
("net-gro: Prepare GRO stack for the upcoming tunneling support") to add
the support of the standard GRE (RFC1701/RFC2784/RFC2890) to the GRO
stack. It also serves as an example for supporting other encapsulation
protocols in the GRO stack in the future.
The patch supports version 0 and all the flags (key, csum, seq#) but
will flush any pkt with the S (seq#) flag. This is because the S flag
is not support by GSO, and a GRO pkt may end up in the forwarding path,
thus requiring GSO support to break it up correctly.
Currently the "packet_offload" structure only contains L3 (ETH_P_IP/
ETH_P_IPV6) GRO offload support so the encapped pkts are limited to
IP pkts (i.e., w/o L2 hdr). But support for other protocol type can
be easily added, so is the support for GRE variations like NVGRE.
The patch also support csum offload. Specifically if the csum flag is on
and the h/w is capable of checksumming the payload (CHECKSUM_COMPLETE),
the code will take advantage of the csum computed by the h/w when
validating the GRE csum.
Note that commit 60769a5dcd8755715c7143b4571d5c44f01796f1 "ipv4: gre:
add GRO capability" already introduces GRO capability to IPv4 GRE
tunnels, using the gro_cells infrastructure. But GRO is done after
GRE hdr has been removed (i.e., decapped). The following patch applies
GRO when pkts first come in (before hitting the GRE tunnel code). There
is some performance advantage for applying GRO as early as possible.
Also this approach is transparent to other subsystem like Open vSwitch
where GRE decap is handled outside of the IP stack hence making it
harder for the gro_cells stuff to apply. On the other hand, some NICs
are still not capable of hashing on the inner hdr of a GRE pkt (RSS).
In that case the GRO processing of pkts from the same remote host will
all happen on the same CPU and the performance may be suboptimal.
I'm including some rough preliminary performance numbers below. Note
that the performance will be highly dependent on traffic load, mix as
usual. Moreover it also depends on NIC offload features hence the
following is by no means a comprehesive study. Local testing and tuning
will be needed to decide the best setting.
All tests spawned 50 copies of netperf TCP_STREAM and ran for 30 secs.
(super_netperf 50 -H 192.168.1.18 -l 30)
An IP GRE tunnel with only the key flag on (e.g., ip tunnel add gre1
mode gre local 10.246.17.18 remote 10.246.17.17 ttl 255 key 123)
is configured.
The GRO support for pkts AFTER decap are controlled through the device
feature of the GRE device (e.g., ethtool -K gre1 gro on/off).
1.1 ethtool -K gre1 gro off; ethtool -K eth0 gro off
thruput: 9.16Gbps
CPU utilization: 19%
1.2 ethtool -K gre1 gro on; ethtool -K eth0 gro off

CPU utilization: 12-13%
1.4 ethtool -K gre1 gro on; ethtool -K eth0 gro on
thruput: 9.26Gbps

The following tests were performed on a different NIC that is capable of
csum offload. I.e., the h/w is capable of computing IP payload csum
(CHECKSUM_COMPLETE).
2.1 ethtool -K gre1 gro on (hence will use gro_cells)

network, it is recommended that anycast servers now take advantage of
the ability to return responses with the anycast address as the
source address if possible.

GRO/GSO layers can be enabled on a node, even if said
node is only forwarding packets.
This patch permits GSO (and upcoming GRO) support for GRE
encapsulated packets, even if the host has no GRE tunnel setup.

====================
[GIT net-next] Open vSwitch
Open vSwitch changes for net-next/3.14. Highlights are:
* Performance improvements in the mechanism to get packets to userspace
using memory mapped netlink and skb zero copy where appropriate.
* Per-cpu flow stats in situations where flows are likely to be shared
across CPUs. Standard flow stats are used in other situations to save
memory and allocation time.
* A handful of code cleanups and rationalization.

The copy & csum optimization is no longer present with zerocopy
enabled. Compute the checksum in skb_gso_segment() directly by
dropping the HW CSUM capability from the features passed in.

Use of skb_zerocopy() can avoid the expensive call to memcpy()
when copying the packet data into the Netlink skb. Completes
checksum through skb_checksum_help() if not already done in
GSO segmentation.
Zerocopy is only performed if user space supported unaligned
Netlink messages. memory mapped netlink i/o is preferred over
zerocopy if it is set up.
Cost of upcall is significantly reduced from:
+ 7.48% vhost-8471 [k] memcpy
+ 5.57% ovs-vswitchd [k] memcpy
+ 2.81% vhost-8471 [k] csum_partial_copy_generic
to:
+ 5.72% ovs-vswitchd [k] memcpy
+ 3.32% vhost-5153 [k] memcpy
+ 0.68% vhost-5153 [k] skb_zerocopy
(megaflows disabled)

As we're only doing a kfree() anyway in the RCU callback, we can
simply use kfree_rcu, which does the same job, and remove the
function rcu_free_sw_flow_mask_cb() and rcu_free_acts_callback().

With mega flow implementation ovs flow can be shared between
multiple CPUs which makes stats updates highly contended
operation. This patch uses per-CPU stats in cases where a flow
is likely to be shared (if there is a wildcard in the 5-tuple
and therefore likely to be spread by RSS). In other situations,
it uses the current strategy, saving memory and allocation time.
