net/sched: transition act_pedit to rcu and percpu stats

2023-02-02T12:19:02Z

The software pedit action didn't get the same love as some of the other actions and it's still using spinlocks and shared stats in the datapath. Transition the action to rcu and percpu stats as this improves the action's performance dramatically on multiple cpu deployments.

net/sched: act_pedit: really ensure the skb is writable

2022-05-11T22:06:42Z

Currently pedit tries to ensure that the accessed skb offset is writable via skb_unclone(). The action potentially allows touching any skb bytes, so it may end-up modifying shared data. The above causes some sporadic MPTCP self-test failures, due to this code: tc -n $ns2 filter add dev ns2eth$i egress \ protocol ip prio 1000 \ handle 42 fw \ action pedit munge offset 148 u8 invert \ pipe csum tcp \ index 100 The above modifies a data byte outside the skb head and the skb is a cloned one, carrying a TCP output packet. This change addresses the issue by keeping track of a rough over-estimate highest skb offset accessed by the action and ensuring such offset is really writable. Note that this may cause performance regressions in some scenarios, but hopefully pedit is not in the critical path.

net: Change TCA_ACT_* to TCA_ID_* to match that of TCA_ID_POLICE

2019-02-10T17:28:43Z

Modify the kernel users of the TCA_ACT_* macros to use TCA_ID_*. For example, use TCA_ID_GACT instead of TCA_ACT_GACT. This will align with TCA_ID_POLICE and also differentiates these identifier, used in struct tc_action_ops type field, from other macros starting with TCA_ACT_. To make things clearer, we name the enum defining the TCA_ID_* identifiers and also change the "type" field of struct tc_action to id.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

net/act_pedit: Introduce 'add' operation

This command could be useful to inc/dec fields. For example, to forward any TCP packet and decrease its TTL: $ tc filter add dev enp0s9 protocol ip parent ffff: \ flower ip_proto tcp \ action pedit munge ip ttl add 0xff pipe \ action mirred egress redirect dev veth0 In the example above, adding 0xff to this u8 field is actually decreasing it by one, since the operation is masked.

net/act_pedit: Support using offset relative to the conventional network headers

2017-02-10T18:18:33Z

Extend pedit to enable the user setting offset relative to network headers. This change would enable to work with more complex header schemes (vs the simple IPv4 case) where setting a fixed offset relative to the network header is not enough. After this patch, the action has information about the exact header type and field inside this header. This information could be used later on for hardware offloading of pedit. Backward compatibility was being kept: 1. Old kernel <-> new userspace 2. New kernel <-> old userspace 3. add rule using new userspace <-> dump using old userspace 4. add rule using old userspace <-> dump using new userspace When using the extended api, new netlink attributes are being used. This way, operation will fail in (1) and (3) - and no malformed rule be added or dumped. Of course, new user space that doesn't need the new functionality can use the old netlink attributes and operation will succeed. Since action can support both api's, (2) should work, and it is easy to write the new user space to have (4) work. The action is having a strict check that only header types and commands it can handle are accepted. This way future additions will be much easier. Usage example: $ tc filter add dev enp0s9 protocol ip parent ffff: \ flower \ ip_proto tcp \ dst_port 80 \ action pedit munge tcp dport set 8080 pipe \ action mirred egress redirect dev veth0 Will forward tcp port whose original dest port is 80, while modifying the destination port to 8080.
