<title>bpf, net: Rework cookie generator as per-cpu one</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://universe.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel/commit/?id=92acdc58ab11af66fcaef485433fde61b5e32fac'/>
<id>urn:sha1:92acdc58ab11af66fcaef485433fde61b5e32fac</id>
<content type='text'>
With its use in BPF, the cookie generator can be called very frequently
in particular when used out of cgroup v2 hooks (e.g. connect / sendmsg)
and attached to the root cgroup, for example, when used in v1/v2 mixed
environments. In particular, when there's a high churn on sockets in the
system there can be many parallel requests to the bpf_get_socket_cookie()
and bpf_get_netns_cookie() helpers which then cause contention on the
atomic counter.

As similarly done in f991bd2e1421 ("fs: introduce a per-cpu last_ino
allocator"), add a small helper library that both can use for the 64 bit
counters. Given this can be called from different contexts, we also need
to deal with potential nested calls even though in practice they are
considered extremely rare. One idea as suggested by Eric Dumazet was
to use a reverse counter for this situation since we don't expect 64 bit
overflows anyways; that way, we can avoid bigger gaps in the 64 bit
counter space compared to just batch-wise increase. Even on machines
with small number of cores (e.g. 4) the cookie generation shrinks from
min/max/med/avg (ns) of 22/50/40/38.9 down to 10/35/14/17.3 when run
in parallel from multiple CPUs.

<content type='text'>
Switch over network namespaces to use the newly introduced common lifetime
counter.
Network namespaces have an additional counter named "passive". This counter
does not guarantee that the network namespace is not already de-initialized
and so isn't concerned with the actual lifetime of the network namespace;
only the "count" counter is. So the latter is moved into struct ns_common.

Currently every namespace type has its own lifetime counter which is stored
in the specific namespace struct. The lifetime counters are used
identically for all namespaces types. Namespaces may of course have
additional unrelated counters and these are not altered.

This introduces a common lifetime counter into struct ns_common. The
ns_common struct encompasses information that all namespaces share. That
should include the lifetime counter since its common for all of them.

It also allows us to unify the type of the counters across all namespaces.
Most of them use refcount_t but one uses atomic_t and at least one uses
kref. Especially the last one doesn't make much sense since it's just a
wrapper around refcount_t since 2016 and actually complicates cleanup
operations by having to use container_of() to cast the correct namespace
struct out of struct ns_common.

Having the lifetime counter for the namespaces in one place reduces
maintenance cost. Not just because after switching all namespaces over we
will have removed more code than we added but also because the logic is
more easily understandable and we indicate to the user that the basic
lifetime requirements for all namespaces are currently identical.

<title>net: Introduce netns_bpf for BPF programs attached to netns</title>

In order to:

 (1) attach more than one BPF program type to netns, or
 (2) support attaching BPF programs to netns with bpf_link, or
 (3) support multi-prog attach points for netns

we will need to keep more state per netns than a single pointer like we
have now for BPF flow dissector program.

Prepare for the above by extracting netns_bpf that is part of struct net,
for storing all state related to BPF programs attached to netns.

Turn flow dissector callbacks for querying/attaching/detaching a program
into generic ones that operate on netns_bpf. Next patch will move the
generic callbacks into their own module.

This is similar to how it is organized for cgroup with cgroup_bpf.

<title>ipv6: Use global sernum for dst validation with nexthop objects</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8f34e53b60b337e559f1ea19e2780ff95ab2fa65</id>
<content type='text'>
Nik reported a bug with pcpu dst cache when nexthop objects are
used illustrated by the following:
    $ ip netns add foo
    $ ip -netns foo li set lo up
    $ ip -netns foo addr add 2001:db8:11::1/128 dev lo
    $ ip netns exec foo sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
    $ ip li add veth1 type veth peer name veth2
    $ ip li set veth1 up
    $ ip addr add 2001:db8:10::1/64 dev veth1
    $ ip li set dev veth2 netns foo
    $ ip -netns foo li set veth2 up
    $ ip -netns foo addr add 2001:db8:10::2/64 dev veth2
    $ ip -6 nexthop add id 100 via 2001:db8:10::2 dev veth1
    $ ip -6 route add 2001:db8:11::1/128 nhid 100

    Create a pcpu entry on cpu 0:
    $ taskset -a -c 0 ip -6 route get 2001:db8:11::1

    Re-add the route entry:
    $ ip -6 ro del 2001:db8:11::1
    $ ip -6 route add 2001:db8:11::1/128 nhid 100

    Route get on cpu 0 returns the stale pcpu:
    $ taskset -a -c 0 ip -6 route get 2001:db8:11::1
    RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable

    While cpu 1 works:
    $ taskset -a -c 1 ip -6 route get 2001:db8:11::1
    2001:db8:11::1 from :: via 2001:db8:10::2 dev veth1 src 2001:db8:10::1 metric 1024 pref medium

Conversion of FIB entries to work with external nexthop objects
missed an important difference between IPv4 and IPv6 - how dst
entries are invalidated when the FIB changes. IPv4 has a per-network
namespace generation id (rt_genid) that is bumped on changes to the FIB.
Checking if a dst_entry is still valid means comparing rt_genid in the
rtable to the current value of rt_genid for the namespace.

IPv6 also has a per network namespace counter, fib6_sernum, but the
count is saved per fib6_node. With the per-node counter only dst_entries
based on fib entries under the node are invalidated when changes are
made to the routes - limiting the scope of invalidations. IPv6 uses a
reference in the rt6_info, 'from', to track the corresponding fib entry
used to create the dst_entry. When validating a dst_entry, the 'from'
is used to backtrack to the fib6_node and check the sernum of it to the
cookie passed to the dst_check operation.

With the inline format (nexthop definition inline with the fib6_info),
dst_entries cached in the fib6_nh have a 1:1 correlation between fib
entries, nexthop data and dst_entries. With external nexthops, IPv6
looks more like IPv4 which means multiple fib entries across disparate
fib6_nodes can all reference the same fib6_nh. That means validation
of dst_entries based on external nexthops needs to use the IPv4 format
- the per-network namespace counter.

Add sernum to rt6_info and set it when creating a pcpu dst entry. Update
rt6_get_cookie to return sernum if it is set and update dst_check for
IPv6 to look for sernum set and based the check on it if so. Finally,
rt6_get_pcpu_route needs to validate the cached entry before returning
a pcpu entry (similar to the rt_cache_valid calls in __mkroute_input and
__mkroute_output for IPv4).

This problem only affects routes using the new, external nexthops.

Thanks to the kbuild test robot for catching the IS_ENABLED needed
around rt_genid_ipv6 before I sent this out.

<id>urn:sha1:f318903c0bf42448b4c884732df2bbb0ef7a2284</id>
<content type='text'>
In Cilium we're mainly using BPF cgroup hooks today in order to implement
kube-proxy free Kubernetes service translation for ClusterIP, NodePort (*),
ExternalIP, and LoadBalancer as well as HostPort mapping [0] for all traffic
between Cilium managed nodes. While this works in its current shape and avoids
packet-level NAT for inter Cilium managed node traffic, there is one major
limitation we're facing today, that is, lack of netns awareness.

In Kubernetes, the concept of Pods (which hold one or multiple containers)
has been built around network namespaces, so while we can use the global scope
of attaching to root BPF cgroup hooks also to our advantage (e.g. for exposing
NodePort ports on loopback addresses), we also have the need to differentiate
between initial network namespaces and non-initial one. For example, ExternalIP
services mandate that non-local service IPs are not to be translated from the
host (initial) network namespace as one example. Right now, we have an ugly
work-around in place where non-local service IPs for ExternalIP services are
not xlated from connect() and friends BPF hooks but instead via less efficient
packet-level NAT on the veth tc ingress hook for Pod traffic.

On top of determining whether we're in initial or non-initial network namespace
we also have a need for a socket-cookie like mechanism for network namespaces
scope. Socket cookies have the nice property that they can be combined as part
of the key structure e.g. for BPF LRU maps without having to worry that the
cookie could be recycled. We are planning to use this for our sessionAffinity
implementation for services. Therefore, add a new bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper
which would resolve both use cases at once: bpf_get_netns_cookie(NULL) would
provide the cookie for the initial network namespace while passing the context
instead of NULL would provide the cookie from the application's network namespace.
We're using a hole, so no size increase; the assignment happens only once.
Therefore this allows for a comparison on initial namespace as well as regular
cookie usage as we have today with socket cookies. We could later on enable
this helper for other program types as well as we would see need.
