One of our customers observed issues with FIB6 garbage collectors
running in different network namespaces blocking each other, resulting
in soft lockups (fib6_run_gc() initiated from timer runs always in
forced mode).
Now that FIB6 walkers are separated per namespace, there is no more need
for instances of fib6_run_gc() in different namespaces blocking each
other. There is still a call to icmp6_dst_gc() which operates on shared
data but this function is protected by its own shared lock.

The IPv6 FIB data structures are separated per network namespace but
there is still only one global walkers list and one global walker list
lock. This means changes in one namespace unnecessarily interfere with
walkers in other namespaces.
Replace the global list with per-netns lists (and give each its own
lock).

Allow accepted sockets to derive their sk_bound_dev_if setting from the
l3mdev domain in which the packets originated. A sysctl setting is added
to control the behavior which is similar to sk_mark and
sysctl_tcp_fwmark_accept.
This effectively allow a process to have a "VRF-global" listen socket,
with child sockets bound to the VRF device in which the packet originated.
A similar behavior can be achieved using sk_mark, but a solution using marks
is incomplete as it does not handle duplicate addresses in different L3
domains/VRFs. Allowing sockets to inherit the sk_bound_dev_if from l3mdev
domain provides a complete solution.

Netfilter updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for net-next, they are:
1) A couple of cleanups for the netfilter core hook from Eric Biederman.
2) Net namespace hook registration, also from Eric. This adds a dependency with
the rtnl_lock. This should be fine by now but we have to keep an eye on this
because if we ever get the per-subsys nfnl_lock before rtnl we have may
problems in the future. But we have room to remove this in the future by
propagating the complexity to the clients, by registering hooks for the init
netns functions.
3) Update nf_tables to use the new net namespace hook infrastructure, also from
Eric.
4) Three patches to refine and to address problems from the new net namespace
hook infrastructure.
5) Switch to alternate jumpstack in xtables iff the packet is reentering. This
only applies to a very special case, the TEE target, but Eric Dumazet
reports that this is slowing down things for everyone else. So let's only
switch to the alternate jumpstack if the tee target is in used through a
static key. This batch also comes with offline precalculation of the
jumpstack based on the callchain depth. From Florian Westphal.

Quoting Daniel Borkmann:
"When adding connection tracking template rules to a netns, f.e. to
configure netfilter zones, the kernel will endlessly busy-loop as soon
as we try to delete the given netns in case there's at least one
template present, which is problematic i.e. if there is such bravery that
the priviledged user inside the netns is assumed untrusted.
Minimal example:
ip netns add foo
ip netns exec foo iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -d 1.2.3.4 -j CT --zone 1
ip netns del foo
What happens is that when nf_ct_iterate_cleanup() is being called from
nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list() for a provided netns, we always end up
with a net->ct.count > 0 and thus jump back to i_see_dead_people. We
don't get a soft-lockup as we still have a schedule() point, but the
serving CPU spins on 100% from that point onwards.
Since templates are normally allocated with nf_conntrack_alloc(), we
also bump net->ct.count. The issue why they are not yet nf_ct_put() is
because the per netns .exit() handler from x_tables (which would eventually
invoke xt_CT's xt_ct_tg_destroy() that drops reference on info->ct) is
called in the dependency chain at a *later* point in time than the per
netns .exit() handler for the connection tracker.
This is clearly a chicken'n'egg problem: after the connection tracker
.exit() handler, we've teared down all the connection tracking
infrastructure already, so rightfully, xt_ct_tg_destroy() cannot be
invoked at a later point in time during the netns cleanup, as that would
lead to a use-after-free. At the same time, we cannot make x_tables depend
on the connection tracker module, so that the xt_ct_tg_destroy() would
be invoked earlier in the cleanup chain."
Daniel confirms this has to do with the order in which modules are loaded or
having compiled nf_conntrack as modules while x_tables built-in. So we have no
guarantees regarding the order in which netns callbacks are executed.
Fix this by allocating the templates through kmalloc() from the respective
SYNPROXY and CT targets, so they don't depend on the conntrack kmem cache.
Then, release then via nf_ct_tmpl_free() from destroy_conntrack(). This branch
is marked as unlikely since conntrack templates are rarely allocated and only
from the configuration plane path.
Note that templates are not kept in any list to avoid further dependencies with
nf_conntrack anymore, thus, the tmpl larval list is removed.

- Add a new set of functions for registering and unregistering per
network namespace hooks.
- Modify the old global namespace hook functions to use the per
network namespace hooks in their implementation, so their remains a
single list that needs to be walked for any hook (this is important
for keeping the hook priority working and for keeping the code
walking the hooks simple).
- Only allow registering the per netdevice hooks in the network
namespace where the network device lives.
- Dynamically allocate the structures in the per network namespace
hook list in nf_register_net_hook, and unregister them in
nf_unregister_net_hook.
Dynamic allocate is required somewhere as the number of network
namespaces are not fixed so we might as well allocate them in the
registration function.
The chain of registered hooks on any list is expected to be small so
the cost of walking that list to find the entry we are unregistering
should also be small.
Performing the management of the dynamically allocated list entries
in the registration and unregistration functions keeps the complexity
from spreading.

->auto_asconf_splist is per namespace and mangled by functions like
sctp_setsockopt_auto_asconf() which doesn't guarantee any serialization.
Also, the call to inet_sk_copy_descendant() was backuping
->auto_asconf_list through the copy but was not honoring
->do_auto_asconf, which could lead to list corruption if it was
different between both sockets.
This commit thus fixes the list handling by using ->addr_wq_lock
spinlock to protect the list. A special handling is done upon socket
creation and destruction for that. Error handlig on sctp_init_sock()
will never return an error after having initialized asconf, so
sctp_destroy_sock() can be called without addrq_wq_lock. The lock now
will be take on sctp_close_sock(), before locking the socket, so we
don't do it in inverse order compared to sctp_addr_wq_timeout_handler().
Instead of taking the lock on sctp_sock_migrate() for copying and
restoring the list values, it's preferred to avoid rewritting it by
implementing sctp_copy_descendant().
Issue was found with a test application that kept flipping sysctl
default_auto_asconf on and off, but one could trigger it by issuing
simultaneous setsockopt() calls on multiple sockets or by
creating/destroying sockets fast enough. This is only triggerable
locally.

This work as a follow-up of commit f7b3bec6f5 ("net: allow setting ecn
via routing table") and adds RFC3168 section 6.1.1.1. fallback for outgoing
ECN connections. In other words, this work adds a retry with a non-ECN
setup SYN packet, as suggested from the RFC on the first timeout:
[...] A host that receives no reply to an ECN-setup SYN within the
normal SYN retransmission timeout interval MAY resend the SYN and
any subsequent SYN retransmissions with CWR and ECE cleared. [...]
Schematic client-side view when assuming the server is in tcp_ecn=2 mode,
that is, Linux default since 2009 via commit 255cac91c3 ("tcp: extend
ECN sysctl to allow server-side only ECN"):
1) Normal ECN-capable path:
SYN ECE CWR ----->
<----- SYN ACK ECE
ACK ----->
2) Path with broken middlebox, when client has fallback:
SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet
(timeout, rtx)
SYN ----->
<----- SYN ACK
ACK ----->
In case we would not have the fallback implemented, the middlebox drop
point would basically end up as:
SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet
(timeout, rtx)
SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet
(timeout, rtx)
SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet
(timeout, rtx)
In any case, it's rather a smaller percentage of sites where there would
occur such additional setup latency: it was found in end of 2014 that ~56%
of IPv4 and 65% of IPv6 servers of Alexa 1 million list would negotiate
ECN (aka tcp_ecn=2 default), 0.42% of these webservers will fail to connect
when trying to negotiate with ECN (tcp_ecn=1) due to timeouts, which the
fallback would mitigate with a slight latency trade-off. Recent related
paper on this topic:
Brian Trammell, Mirja Kühlewind, Damiano Boppart, Iain Learmonth,
Gorry Fairhurst, and Richard Scheffenegger:
"Enabling Internet-Wide Deployment of Explicit Congestion Notification."
Proc. PAM 2015, New York.
http://ecn.ethz.ch/ecn-pam15.pdf
Thus, when net.ipv4.tcp_ecn=1 is being set, the patch will perform RFC3168,
section 6.1.1.1. fallback on timeout. For users explicitly not wanting this
which can be in DC use case, we add a net.ipv4.tcp_ecn_fallback knob that
allows for disabling the fallback.
tp->ecn_flags are not being cleared in tcp_ecn_clear_syn() on output, but
rather we let tcp_ecn_rcv_synack() take that over on input path in case a
SYN ACK ECE was delayed. Thus a spurious SYN retransmission will not prevent
ECN being negotiated eventually in that case.

This patch divides the IPv6 flow label space into two ranges:
0-7ffff is reserved for flow label manager, 80000-fffff will be
used for creating auto flow labels (per RFC6438). This only affects how
labels are set on transmit, it does not affect receive. This range split
can be disbaled by systcl.
Background:
IPv6 flow labels have been an unmitigated disappointment thus far
in the lifetime of IPv6. Support in HW devices to use them for ECMP
is lacking, and OSes don't turn them on by default. If we had these
we could get much better hashing in IPv6 networks without resorting
to DPI, possibly eliminating some of the motivations to to define new
encaps in UDP just for getting ECMP.
Unfortunately, the initial specfications of IPv6 did not clarify
how they are to be used. There has always been a vague concept that
these can be used for ECMP, flow hashing, etc. and we do now have a
good standard how to this in RFC6438. The problem is that flow labels
can be either stateful or stateless (as in RFC6438), and we are
presented with the possibility that a stateless label may collide
with a stateful one. Attempts to split the flow label space were
rejected in IETF. When we added support in Linux for RFC6438, we
could not turn on flow labels by default due to this conflict.
This patch splits the flow label space and should give us
a path to enabling auto flow labels by default for all IPv6 packets.
This is an API change so we need to consider compatibility with
existing deployment. The stateful range is chosen to be the lower
values in hopes that most uses would have chosen small numbers.
Once we resolve the stateless/stateful issue, we can proceed to
look at enabling RFC6438 flow labels by default (starting with
scaled testing).

If something goes wrong with IPv4 FIB offload, mark entire net offload
disabled. This is brute force policy to basically shut down IPv4 FIB offload
permanently if there is a problem offloading any route to an external device.
We can refine the policy in the future, to handle failures on a per-device or
per-route basis, but for now, this policy is per-net.
What we're trying to avoid is an inconsistent split between the kernel's FIB
and the offload device's FIB. We don't want the device to fwd a pkt
inconsitent with what the kernel would do. An example of a split is if device
has 10.0.0.0/16 and kernel has 10.0.0.0/16 and 10.0.0.0/24, the device wouldn't
see the longest prefix 10.0.0.0/24 and potentially forward pkts incorrectly.
Limited capacity or limited capability are two ways a route may fail to install
to the offload device. We'll not differentiate between failures at this time,
and treat any failure as fatal and mark the net as fib_offload_disabled.

This sysctl gives two benefits. By defaulting the table size to 0
mpls even when compiled in and enabled defaults to not forwarding
any packets. This prevents unpleasant surprises for users.
The other benefit is that as mpls labels are allocated locally a dense
table a small dense label table may be used which saves memory and
is extremely simple and efficient to implement.
This sysctl allows userspace to choose the restrictions on the label
table size userspace applications need to cope with.

Hop Forwarding Entry (NHLFE) I call mpls_route. Though calling it the
label fordwarding information base (lfib) might also be valid.
Further the implemntation forwards packets as described in RFC3032.
There is no need and given the original motivation for MPLS a strong
discincentive to have a flexible label forwarding path. In essence
the logic is the topmost label is read, looked up, removed, and
replaced by 0 or more new lables and the sent out the specified
interface to it's next hop.
Quite a few optional features are not implemented here. Among them
are generation of ICMP errors when the TTL is exceeded or the packet
is larger than the next hop MTU (those conditions are detected and the
packets are dropped instead of generating an icmp error). The traffic
class field is always set to 0. The implementation focuses on IP over
MPLS and does not handle egress of other kinds of protocols.
Instead of implementing coordination with the neighbour table and
sorting out how to input next hops in a different address family (for
which there is value). I was lazy and implemented a next hop mac
address instead. The code is simpler and there are flavor of MPLS
such as MPLS-TP where neither an IPv4 nor an IPv6 next hop is
appropriate so a next hop by mac address would need to be implemented
at some point.
Two new definitions AF_MPLS and PF_MPLS are exposed to userspace.
Decoding the mpls header must be done by first byeswapping a 32bit bit
endian word into the local cpu endian and then bit shifting to extract
the pieces. There is no C bit-field that can represent a wire format
mpls header on a little endian machine as the low bits of the 20bit
label wind up in the wrong half of third byte. Therefore internally
everything is deal with in cpu native byte order except when writing
to and reading from a packet.
For management simplicity if a label is configured to forward out
an interface that is down the packet is dropped early. Similarly
if an network interface is removed rt_dev is updated to NULL
(so no reference is preserved) and any packets for that label
are dropped. Keeping the label entries in the kernel allows
the kernel label table to function as the definitive source
of which labels are allocated and which are not.

Joining multicast group on ethernet level via "ip maddr" command would
not work if we have an Ethernet switch that does igmp snooping since
the switch would not replicate multicast packets on ports that did not
have IGMP reports for the multicast addresses.
Linux vxlan interfaces created via "ip link add vxlan" have the group option
that enables then to do the required join.
By extending ip address command with option "autojoin" we can get similar
functionality for openvswitch vxlan interfaces as well as other tunneling
mechanisms that need to receive multicast traffic. The kernel code is
structured similar to how the vxlan driver does a group join / leave.
example:
ip address add 224.1.1.10/24 dev eth5 autojoin
ip address del 224.1.1.10/24 dev eth5
