* ipv6: Don't put artificial limit on routing table size.David S. Miller2011-07-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | IPV6, unlike IPV4, doesn't have a routing cache. Routing table entries, as well as clones made in response to route lookup requests, all live in the same table. And all of these things are together collected in the destination cache table for ipv6. This means that routing table entries count against the garbage collection limits, even though such entries cannot ever be reclaimed and are added explicitly by the administrator (rather than being created in response to lookups). Therefore it makes no sense to count ipv6 routing table entries against the GC limits. Add a DST_NOCOUNT destination cache entry flag, and skip the counting if it is set. Use this flag bit in ipv6 when adding routing table entries. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The reason we do that is to make sure we never bind an inetpeer to a prefixed route. The logic turned on here has existed in the tree for many years, but was always off due to a protecting CPP define. So perhaps it's no surprise that there is a logic bug here. The problem is that we canot clone a route that is already a host route (ie. has DST_HOST set). Because if we do, an identical entry already exists in the routing tree and therefore the ip6_rt_ins() call is going to fail. This sets off a series of failures and high cpu usage, because when ip6_rt_ins() fails we loop retrying this operation a few times in order to handle a race between two threads trying to clone and insert the same host route at the same time. Fix this by simply using the route as-is when DST_HOST is set. Reported-by: slash@ac.auone-net.jp Reported-by: Ernst Sjöstrand <ernstp@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* | inet: Create a mechanism for upward inetpeer propagation into routes.David S. Miller2011-02-10

The reason is that if we didn't have a routing cache, then there would be no way to lookup all of the active cached routes hanging off of sockets, tunnels, IPSEC bundles, etc. Consider the case where we created a cached route, but no inetpeer entry existed and also we were not asked to pre-COW the route metrics and therefore did not force the creation a new inetpeer entry. If we later get a PMTU message, or a redirect, and store this information in a new inetpeer entry, there is no way to teach that cached route about the newly existing inetpeer entry. The facilities implemented here handle this problem. First we create a generation ID. When we create a cached route of any kind, we remember the generation ID at the time of attachment. Any time we force-create an inetpeer entry in response to new path information, we bump that generation ID. The dst_ops->check() callback is where the knowledge of this event is propagated. If the global generation ID does not equal the one stored in the cached route, and the cached route has not attached to an inetpeer yet, we look it up and attach if one is found. Now that we've updated the cached route's information, we update the route's generation ID too. This clears the way for implementing PMTU and redirects directly in the inetpeer cache. There is absolutely no need to consult cached route information in order to maintain this information. At this point nothing bumps the inetpeer genids, that comes in the later changes which handle PMTUs and redirects using inetpeers. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an IPSEC SA is still being set up, __xfrm_lookup() will return -EREMOTE and so ip_route_output_flow() will return a blackhole route. This can happen in a sndmsg call, and after d33e455337ea ("net: Abstract default MTU metric calculation behind an accessor.") this leads to a crash in ip_append_data() because the blackhole dst_ops have no default_mtu() method and so dst_mtu() calls a NULL pointer. Fix this by adding default_mtu() methods (that simply return 0, matching the old behavior) to the blackhole dst_ops. The IPv4 part of this patch fixes a crash that I saw when using an IPSEC VPN; the IPv6 part is untested because I don't have an IPv6 VPN, but it looks to be needed as well.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | They are bogus. The basic idea is that I wanted to make sure that prefixed routes never bind to peers. The test I used was whether RTF_CACHE was set. But first of all, the RTF_CACHE flag is set at different spots depending upon which ip6_rt_copy() caller you're talking about. I've validated all of the code paths, and even in the future where we bind peers more aggressively (for route metric COW'ing) we never bind to prefix'd routes, only fully specified ones. This even applies when addrconf or icmp6 routes are allocated. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* | net: Implement read-only protection and COW'ing of metrics.David S. Miller2011-01-26
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Routing metrics are now copy-on-write. Initially a route entry points it's metrics at a read-only location. If a routing table entry exists, it will point there. Else it will point at the all zero metric place-holder called 'dst_default_metrics'. The writeability state of the metrics is stored in the low bits of the metrics pointer, we have two bits left to spare if we want to store more states. For the initial implementation, COW is implemented simply via kmalloc. However future enhancements will change this to place the writable metrics somewhere else, in order to increase sharing. Very likely this "somewhere else" will be the inetpeer cache. Note also that this means that metrics updates may transiently fail if we cannot COW the metrics successfully. But even by itself, this patch should decrease memory usage and increase cache locality especially for routing workloads. In those cases the read-only metric copies stay in place and never get written to. TCP workloads where metrics get updated, and those rare cases where PMTU triggers occur, will take a very slight performance hit. But that hit will be alleviated when the long-term writable metrics move to a more sharable location. Since the metrics storage went from a u32 array of RTAX_MAX entries to what is essentially a pointer, some retooling of the dst_entry layout was necessary. Most importantly, we need to preserve the alignment of the reference count so that it doesn't share cache lines with the read-mostly state, as per Eric Dumazet's alignment assertion checks. The only non-trivial bit here is the move of the 'flags' member into the writeable cacheline. This is OK since we are always accessing the flags around the same moment when we made a modification to the reference count. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

But after the temporary route has expired, new ICMP6 "packet too big" will be sent, rt6_pmtu_discovery will find the previous EXPIRED route check that its mtu isn't bigger then in icmp packet and do nothing before the temporary route will not deleted by gc. I make the simple experiment: while :; do time ( dd if=/dev/zero bs=10K count=1 | ssh hostname dd of=/dev/null ) || break; done The "time" reports real 0m0.197s if a temporary route isn't expired, but it reports real 0m52.837s (!!!!) immediately after a temporare route has expired.

* | net: Abstract default MTU metric calculation behind an accessor.David S. Miller2010-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Like RTAX_ADVMSS, make the default calculation go through a dst_ops method rather than caching the computation in the routing cache entries. Now dst metrics are pretty much left as-is when new entries are created, thus optimizing metric sharing becomes a real possibility. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* | net: Abstract default ADVMSS behind an accessor.David S. Miller2010-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make all RTAX_ADVMSS metric accesses go through a new helper function, dst_metric_advmss(). Leave the actual default metric as "zero" in the real metric slot, and compute the actual default value dynamically via a new dst_ops AF specific callback. For stacked IPSEC routes, we use the advmss of the path which preserves existing behavior. Unlike ipv4/ipv6, DecNET ties the advmss to the mtu and thus updates advmss on pmtu updates. This inconsistency in advmss handling results in more raw metric accesses than I wish we ended up with. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* | ipv6: Demark default hoplimit as zero.David S. Miller2010-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is for consistency with ipv4. Using "-1" makes no sense. It was made this way a long time ago merely to be consistent with how the ipv6 socket hoplimit "default" is stored. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* | net: Abstract away all dst_entry metrics accesses.David S. Miller2010-12-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use helper functions to hide all direct accesses, especially writes, to dst_entry metrics values. This will allow us to: 1) More easily change how the metrics are stored. 2) Implement COW for metrics. In particular this will help us put metrics into the inetpeer cache if that is what we end up doing. We can make the _metrics member a pointer instead of an array, initially have it point at the read-only metrics in the FIB, and then on the first set grab an inetpeer entry and point the _metrics member there.

* net dst: fix percpu_counter list corruption and poison overwrittenXiaotian Feng2010-11-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There're some percpu_counter list corruption and poison overwritten warnings in recent kernel, which is resulted by fc66f95c. commit fc66f95c switches to use percpu_counter, in ip6_route_net_init, kernel init the percpu_counter for dst entries, but, the percpu_counter is never destroyed in ip6_route_net_exit. So if the related data is freed by kernel, the freed percpu_counter is still on the list, then if we insert/remove other percpu_counter, list corruption resulted. Also, if the insert/remove option modifies the ->prev,->next pointer of the freed value, the poison overwritten is resulted then. With the following patch, the percpu_counter list corruption and poison overwritten warnings disappeared. Signed-off-by: Xiaotian Feng <dfeng@redhat.com> Cc: "David S.
