From 5b7c4cabbb65f5c469464da6c5f614cbd7f730f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2023 18:24:12 -0800 Subject: Merge tag 'net-next-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core: - Add dedicated kmem_cache for typical/small skb->head, avoid having to access struct page at kfree time, and improve memory use. - Introduce sysctl to set default RPS configuration for new netdevs. - Define Netlink protocol specification format which can be used to describe messages used by each family and auto-generate parsers. Add tools for generating kernel data structures and uAPI headers. - Expose all net/core sysctls inside netns. - Remove 4s sleep in netpoll if carrier is instantly detected on boot. - Add configurable limit of MDB entries per port, and port-vlan. - Continue populating drop reasons throughout the stack. - Retire a handful of legacy Qdiscs and classifiers. Protocols: - Support IPv4 big TCP (TSO frames larger than 64kB). - Add IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE socket option, to control local port range on socket by socket basis. - Track and report in procfs number of MPTCP sockets used. - Support mixing IPv4 and IPv6 flows in the in-kernel MPTCP path manager. - IPv6: don't check net.ipv6.route.max_size and rely on garbage collection to free memory (similarly to IPv4). - Support Penultimate Segment Pop (PSP) flavor in SRv6 (RFC8986). - ICMP: add per-rate limit counters. - Add support for user scanning requests in ieee802154. - Remove static WEP support. - Support minimal Wi-Fi 7 Extremely High Throughput (EHT) rate reporting. - WiFi 7 EHT channel puncturing support (client & AP). BPF: - Add a rbtree data structure following the "next-gen data structure" precedent set by recently added linked list, that is, by using kfunc + kptr instead of adding a new BPF map type. - Expose XDP hints via kfuncs with initial support for RX hash and timestamp metadata. - Add BPF_F_NO_TUNNEL_KEY extension to bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key to better support decap on GRE tunnel devices not operating in collect metadata. - Improve x86 JIT's codegen for PROBE_MEM runtime error checks. - Remove the need for trace_printk_lock for bpf_trace_printk and bpf_trace_vprintk helpers. - Extend libbpf's bpf_tracing.h support for tracing arguments of kprobes/uprobes and syscall as a special case. - Significantly reduce the search time for module symbols by livepatch and BPF. - Enable cpumasks to be used as kptrs, which is useful for tracing programs tracking which tasks end up running on which CPUs in different time intervals. - Add support for BPF trampoline on s390x and riscv64. - Add capability to export the XDP features supported by the NIC. - Add __bpf_kfunc tag for marking kernel functions as kfuncs. - Add cgroup.memory=nobpf kernel parameter option to disable BPF memory accounting for container environments. Netfilter: - Remove the CLUSTERIP target. It has been marked as obsolete for years, and we still have WARN splats wrt races of the out-of-band /proc interface installed by this target. - Add 'destroy' commands to nf_tables. They are identical to the existing 'delete' commands, but do not return an error if the referenced object (set, chain, rule...) did not exist. Driver API: - Improve cpumask_local_spread() locality to help NICs set the right IRQ affinity on AMD platforms. - Separate C22 and C45 MDIO bus transactions more clearly. - Introduce new DCB table to control DSCP rewrite on egress. - Support configuration of Physical Layer Collision Avoidance (PLCA) Reconciliation Sublayer (RS) (802.3cg-2019). Modern version of shared medium Ethernet. - Support for MAC Merge layer (IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99). Allowing preemption of low priority frames by high priority frames. - Add support for controlling MACSec offload using netlink SET. - Rework devlink instance refcounts to allow registration and de-registration under the instance lock. Split the code into multiple files, drop some of the unnecessarily granular locks and factor out common parts of netlink operation handling. - Add TX frame aggregation parameters (for USB drivers). - Add a new attr TCA_EXT_WARN_MSG to report TC (offload) warning messages with notifications for debug. - Allow offloading of UDP NEW connections via act_ct. - Add support for per action HW stats in TC. - Support hardware miss to TC action (continue processing in SW from a specific point in the action chain). - Warn if old Wireless Extension user space interface is used with modern cfg80211/mac80211 drivers. Do not support Wireless Extensions for Wi-Fi 7 devices at all. Everyone should switch to using nl80211 interface instead. - Improve the CAN bit timing configuration. Use extack to return error messages directly to user space, update the SJW handling, including the definition of a new default value that will benefit CAN-FD controllers, by increasing their oscillator tolerance.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +========================= +Stream Parser (strparser) +========================= + +Introduction +============ + +The stream parser (strparser) is a utility that parses messages of an +application layer protocol running over a data stream. The stream +parser works in conjunction with an upper layer in the kernel to provide +kernel support for application layer messages. For instance, Kernel +Connection Multiplexor (KCM) uses the Stream Parser to parse messages +using a BPF program. + +The strparser works in one of two modes: receive callback or general +mode. + +In receive callback mode, the strparser is called from the data_ready +callback of a TCP socket. Messages are parsed and delivered as they are +received on the socket. + +In general mode, a sequence of skbs are fed to strparser from an +outside source. Message are parsed and delivered as the sequence is +processed. This modes allows strparser to be applied to arbitrary +streams of data. + +Interface +========= + +The API includes a context structure, a set of callbacks, utility +functions, and a data_ready function for receive callback mode. The +callbacks include a parse_msg function that is called to perform +parsing (e.g. BPF parsing in case of KCM), and a rcv_msg function +that is called when a full message has been completed. + +Functions +========= + + :: + + strp_init(struct strparser *strp, struct sock *sk, + const struct strp_callbacks *cb) + + Called to initialize a stream parser. strp is a struct of type + strparser that is allocated by the upper layer. sk is the TCP + socket associated with the stream parser for use with receive + callback mode; in general mode this is set to NULL. Callbacks + are called by the stream parser (the callbacks are listed below). + + :: + + void strp_pause(struct strparser *strp) + + Temporarily pause a stream parser. Message parsing is suspended + and no new messages are delivered to the upper layer. + + :: + + void strp_unpause(struct strparser *strp) + + Unpause a paused stream parser. + + :: + + void strp_stop(struct strparser *strp); + + strp_stop is called to completely stop stream parser operations. + This is called internally when the stream parser encounters an + error, and it is called from the upper layer to stop parsing + operations. + + :: + + void strp_done(struct strparser *strp); + + strp_done is called to release any resources held by the stream + parser instance. This must be called after the stream processor + has been stopped. + + :: + + int strp_process(struct strparser *strp, struct sk_buff *orig_skb, + unsigned int orig_offset, size_t orig_len, + size_t max_msg_size, long timeo) + + strp_process is called in general mode for a stream parser to + parse an sk_buff. The number of bytes processed or a negative + error number is returned. Note that strp_process does not + consume the sk_buff. max_msg_size is maximum size the stream + parser will parse. timeo is timeout for completing a message. + + :: + + void strp_data_ready(struct strparser *strp); + + The upper layer calls strp_tcp_data_ready when data is ready on + the lower socket for strparser to process. This should be called + from a data_ready callback that is set on the socket. Note that + maximum messages size is the limit of the receive socket + buffer and message timeout is the receive timeout for the socket. + + :: + + void strp_check_rcv(struct strparser *strp); + + strp_check_rcv is called to check for new messages on the socket. + This is normally called at initialization of a stream parser + instance or after strp_unpause. + +Callbacks +========= + +There are six callbacks: + + :: + + int (*parse_msg)(struct strparser *strp, struct sk_buff *skb); + + parse_msg is called to determine the length of the next message + in the stream. The upper layer must implement this function. It + should parse the sk_buff as containing the headers for the + next application layer message in the stream. + + The skb->cb in the input skb is a struct strp_msg. Only + the offset field is relevant in parse_msg and gives the offset + where the message starts in the skb. + + The return values of this function are: + + ========= =========================================================== + >0 indicates length of successfully parsed message + 0 indicates more data must be received to parse the message + -ESTRPIPE current message should not be processed by the + kernel, return control of the socket to userspace which + can proceed to read the messages itself + other < 0 Error in parsing, give control back to userspace + assuming that synchronization is lost and the stream + is unrecoverable (application expected to close TCP socket) + ========= =========================================================== + + In the case that an error is returned (return value is less than + zero) and the parser is in receive callback mode, then it will set + the error on TCP socket and wake it up. If parse_msg returned + -ESTRPIPE and the stream parser had previously read some bytes for + the current message, then the error set on the attached socket is + ENODATA since the stream is unrecoverable in that case. + + :: + + void (*lock)(struct strparser *strp) + + The lock callback is called to lock the strp structure when + the strparser is performing an asynchronous operation (such as + processing a timeout). In receive callback mode the default + function is to lock_sock for the associated socket. In general + mode the callback must be set appropriately. + + :: + + void (*unlock)(struct strparser *strp) + + The unlock callback is called to release the lock obtained + by the lock callback. In receive callback mode the default + function is release_sock for the associated socket. In general + mode the callback must be set appropriately. + + :: + + void (*rcv_msg)(struct strparser *strp, struct sk_buff *skb); + + rcv_msg is called when a full message has been received and + is queued. The callee must consume the sk_buff; it can + call strp_pause to prevent any further messages from being + received in rcv_msg (see strp_pause above). This callback + must be set. + + The skb->cb in the input skb is a struct strp_msg. This + struct contains two fields: offset and full_len. Offset is + where the message starts in the skb, and full_len is the + the length of the message. skb->len - offset may be greater + then full_len since strparser does not trim the skb. + + :: + + int (*read_sock_done)(struct strparser *strp, int err); + + read_sock_done is called when the stream parser is done reading + the TCP socket in receive callback mode. The stream parser may + read multiple messages in a loop and this function allows cleanup + to occur when exiting the loop. If the callback is not set (NULL + in strp_init) a default function is used. + + :: + + void (*abort_parser)(struct strparser *strp, int err); + + This function is called when stream parser encounters an error + in parsing. The default function stops the stream parser and + sets the error in the socket if the parser is in receive callback + mode. The default function can be changed by setting the callback + to non-NULL in strp_init. + +Statistics +========== + +Various counters are kept for each stream parser instance. These are in +the strp_stats structure. strp_aggr_stats is a convenience structure for +accumulating statistics for multiple stream parser instances. +save_strp_stats and aggregate_strp_stats are helper functions to save +and aggregate statistics. + +Message assembly limits +======================= + +The stream parser provide mechanisms to limit the resources consumed by +message assembly. + +A timer is set when assembly starts for a new message. In receive +callback mode the message timeout is taken from rcvtime for the +associated TCP socket. In general mode, the timeout is passed as an +argument in strp_process. If the timer fires before assembly completes +the stream parser is aborted and the ETIMEDOUT error is set on the TCP +socket if in receive callback mode. + +In receive callback mode, message length is limited to the receive +buffer size of the associated TCP socket. If the length returned by +parse_msg is greater than the socket buffer size then the stream parser +is aborted with EMSGSIZE error set on the TCP socket. Note that this +makes the maximum size of receive skbuffs for a socket with a stream +parser to be 2*sk_rcvbuf of the TCP socket. + +In general mode the message length limit is passed in as an argument +to strp_process. + +Author +====== + +Tom Herbert (tom@quantonium.net) -- cgit v1.2.3
