12 daysipvs: clear the svc scheduler ptr early on editJulian Anastasov
ip_vs_edit_service() while unbinding the old scheduler clears the svc->scheduler ptr after the scheduler module initiates RCU callbacks. This can cause packets to use the old scheduler at the time when svc->sched_data is already freed after RCU grace period. Fix it by clearing the ptr early in ip_vs_unbind_scheduler(), before the done_service method schedules any RCU callbacks. Also, if the new scheduler fails to initialize when replacing the old scheduler, try to restore the old scheduler while still returning the error code.

2026-05-16ipvs: avoid possible loop in ip_vs_dst_event on resizingJulian Anastasov
Sashiko points out that unprivileged user can frequently call ip_vs_flush() or ip_vs_del_service() to trigger svc_table_changes updates that can lead to infinite loop in ip_vs_dst_event(). This can also happen if the user triggers frequent table resizing without deleting all services. We should also consider the possible effects if the user triggers many NETDEV_DOWN events. One way to solve it is to hold svc_resize_sem in ip_vs_dst_event() but this can block the dev notifier during the whole resizing process. Instead, use new rw_semaphore svc_replace_sem to protect just the svc_table replacement which is a short code section. Then hold svc_replace_sem in ip_vs_dst_event() to serialize with replacing the svc_table. As result, loop is avoided as there is no need to repeat the table walking from the start. By this way changes in svc_table_changes can happen only when all services are removed and all dev references dropped which allows us to abort the table walking. As IP_VS_WORK_SVC_NORESIZE is the flag used to stop the svc_resize_work under service_mutex, we should check only this flag often but not while under service_mutex. To remove the mutex_trylock() for service_mutex in the second phase where the resizer installs the new table after rehashing, we will avoid holding the service_mutex there. As result, the code in configuration context which is under service_mutex should access ipvs->svc_table under RCU because it can be replaced at anytime and released after a RCU grace period. As for ip_vs_zero_all(), it needs different solution as a table walker which can escape single RCU read-side critical section: to hold the svc_replace_sem to prevent table to be replaced. In ip_vs_status_show() prefer to hold svc_replace_sem to avoid many loops, just detect if the svc_table is removed. Prefer the newly attached table for the u_thresh/l_thresh checks to know when to grow/shrink while adding or deleting services because the new table size is based on the latest parameters.

2026-05-05ipvs: Guard access of HK_TYPE_KTHREAD cpumask with RCUWaiman Long
The ip_vs_ctl.c file and the associated ip_vs.h file are the only places in the kernel where HK_TYPE_KTHREAD cpumask is being retrieved and used. Now that HK_TYPE_KTHREAD/HK_TYPE_DOMAIN cpumask can be changed at run time. We need to use RCU to guard access to this cpumask to avoid a potential UAF problem as the returned cpumask may be freed before it is being used. We can replace HK_TYPE_KTHREAD by HK_TYPE_DOMAIN as they are aliases of each other, but keeping the HK_TYPE_KTHREAD name can highlight the fact that it is the kthread initiated by ipvs that is being controlled.

2026-05-05ipvs: fix races around est_mutex and est_cpulistJulian Anastasov
Sashiko reports for races and possible crash around the usage of est_cpulist_valid and sysctl_est_cpulist. The problem is that we do not lock est_mutex in some places which can lead to wrong write ordering and as result problems when calling cpumask_weight() and cpumask_empty(). Fix them by moving the est_max_threads read/write under locked est_mutex. Do the same for one ip_vs_est_reload_start() call to protect the cpumask_empty() usage of sysctl_est_cpulist. To remove the chance of deadlock while stopping the estimation kthreads, keep the data structure for kthread 0 even after last estimator is removed and do not hold mutexes while stopping this task. Now we will use a new flag 'needed' to know when kthread 0 should run. The kthreads above 0 do not use mutexes, so stop them under est_mutex because their kthread data still can be destroyed if they do not serve estimators. Now all kthreads will be started by the est_reload_work to properly serialize the stop/start for kthread 0. Reduce the use of service_mutex in ip_vs_est_calc_phase() because under est_mutex we can safely walk est_kt_arr to stop the kthreads above slot 0. As ip_vs_stop_estimator() for tot_stats should be called under service_mutex, do it early in the netns exit path in ip_vs_flush() to avoid locking the mutex again later. It still should be called in ip_vs_control_net_cleanup_sysctl() when we are called during netns init error. Use -2 for ktid as indicator if estimator was already stopped. Finally, fix use-after-free for kd->est_row in ip_vs_est_calc_phase(). est->ktrow should simply switch to a delay value while estimator is linked to est_temp_list.

2026-03-04ipvs: use more keys for connection hashingJulian Anastasov
Simon Kirby reported long time ago that IPVS connection hashing based only on the client address/port (caddr, cport) as hash keys is not suitable for setups that accept traffic on multiple virtual IPs and ports. It can happen for multiple VIP:VPORT services, for single or many fwmark service(s) that match multiple virtual IPs and ports or even for passive FTP with peristence in DR/TUN mode where we expect traffic on multiple ports for the virtual IP. Fix it by adding virtual addresses and ports to the hash function. This causes the traffic from NAT real servers to clients to use second hashing for the in->out direction. As result: - the IN direction from client will use hash node hn0 where the source/dest addresses and ports used by client will be used as hash keys - the OUT direction from NAT real servers will use hash node hn1 for the traffic from real server to client - the persistence templates are hashed only with parameters based on the IN direction, so they now will also use the virtual address, port and fwmark from the service. OLD: - all methods: c_list node: proto, caddr:cport - persistence templates: c_list node: proto, caddr_net:0 - persistence engine templates: c_list node: per-PE, PE-SIP uses jhash NEW: - all methods: hn0 node (dir 0): proto, caddr:cport -> vaddr:vport - MASQ method: hn1 node (dir 1): proto, daddr:dport -> caddr:cport - persistence templates: hn0 node (dir 0): proto, caddr_net:0 -> vaddr:vport_or_0 proto, caddr_net:0 -> fwmark:0 - persistence engine templates: hn0 node (dir 0): as before Also reorder the ip_vs_conn fields, so that hash nodes are on same read-mostly cache line while write-mostly fields are on separate cache line.

2026-03-04ipvs: switch to per-net connection tableJulian Anastasov
Use per-net resizable hash table for connections. The global table is slow to walk when using many namespaces. The table can be resized in the range of [256 - ip_vs_conn_tab_size]. Table is attached only while services are present. Resizing is done by delayed work based on load (the number of connections). Add a hash_key field into the connection to store the table ID in the highest bit and the entry's hash value in the lowest bits. The lowest part of the hash value is used as bucket ID, the remaining part is used to filter the entries in the bucket before matching the keys and as result, helps the lookup operation to access only one cache line. By knowing the table ID and bucket ID for entry, we can unlink it without calculating the hash value and doing lookup by keys. We need only to validate the saved hash_key under lock. For better security switch from jhash to siphash for the default connection hashing but the persistence engines may use their own function. Keeping the hash table loaded with entries below the size (12%) allows to avoid collision for 96+% of the conns. ip_vs_conn_fill_cport() now will rehash the connection with proper locking because unhash+hash is not safe for RCU readers. To invalidate the templates setting just dport to 0xffff is enough, no need to rehash them. As result, ip_vs_conn_unhash() is now unused and removed.

2026-03-04ipvs: use resizable hash table for servicesJulian Anastasov
Make the hash table for services resizable in the bit range of 4-20. Table is attached only while services are present. Resizing is done by delayed work based on load (the number of hashed services). Table grows when load increases 2+ times (above 12.5% with lfactor=-3) and shrinks 8+ times when load decreases 16+ times (below 0.78%). Switch to jhash hashing to reduce the collisions for multiple services. Add a hash_key field into the service to store the table ID in the highest bit and the entry's hash value in the lowest bits. The lowest part of the hash value is used as bucket ID, the remaining part is used to filter the entries in the bucket before matching the keys and as result, helps the lookup operation to access only one cache line.

2026-02-25ipvs: make ip_vs_svc_table and ip_vs_svc_fwm_table per netnsJiejian Wu
Current ipvs uses one global mutex "__ip_vs_mutex" to keep the global "ip_vs_svc_table" and "ip_vs_svc_fwm_table" safe. But when there are tens of thousands of services from different netns in the table, it takes a long time to look up the table, for example, using "ipvsadm -ln" from different netns simultaneously. We make "ip_vs_svc_table" and "ip_vs_svc_fwm_table" per netns, and we add "service_mutex" per netns to keep these two tables safe instead of the global "__ip_vs_mutex" in current version. To this end, looking up services from different netns simultaneously will not get stuck, shortening the time consumption in large-scale deployment. It can be reproduced using the simple scripts below. init.sh: #!/bin/bash for((i=1;i<=4;i++));do ip netns add ns$i ip netns exec ns$i ip link set dev lo up ip netns exec ns$i sh add-services.sh done add-services.sh: #!/bin/bash for((i=0;i<30000;i++)); do ipvsadm -A -t 10.10.10.10:$((80+$i)) -s rr done runtest.sh: #!/bin/bash for((i=1;i<4;i++));do ip netns exec ns$i ipvsadm -ln > /dev/null & done ip netns exec ns4 ipvsadm -ln > /dev/null Run "sh init.sh" to initiate the network environment. Then run "time ./runtest.sh" to evaluate the time consumption. Our testbed is a 4-core Intel Xeon ECS. The result of the original version is around 8 seconds, while the result of the modified version is only 0.8 seconds.

2023-04-22ipvs: Update width of source for ip_vs_sync_conn_optionsSimon Horman
In ip_vs_sync_conn_v0() copy is made to struct ip_vs_sync_conn_options. That structure looks like this: struct ip_vs_sync_conn_options { struct ip_vs_seq in_seq; struct ip_vs_seq out_seq; }; The source of the copy is the in_seq field of struct ip_vs_conn. Whose type is struct ip_vs_seq. Thus we can see that the source - is not as wide as the amount of data copied, which is the width of struct ip_vs_sync_conn_option. The copy is safe because the next field in is another struct ip_vs_seq. Make use of struct_group() to annotate this.

2022-12-10ipvs: use kthreads for stats estimationJulian Anastasov
Estimating all entries in single list in timer context by single CPU causes large latency with multiple IPVS rules as reported in [1], [2], [3]. Spread the estimator structures in multiple chains and use kthread(s) for the estimation. The chains are processed in multiple (50) timer ticks to ensure the 2-second interval between estimations with some accuracy. Every chain is processed under RCU lock. Every kthread works over its own data structure and all such contexts are attached to array. The contexts can be preserved while the kthread tasks are stopped or restarted. When estimators are removed, unused kthread contexts are released and the slots in array are left empty. First kthread determines parameters to use, eg. maximum number of estimators to process per kthread based on chain's length (chain_max), allowing sub-100us cond_resched rate and estimation taking up to 1/8 of the CPU capacity to avoid any problems if chain_max is not correctly calculated. chain_max is calculated taking into account factors such as CPU speed and memory/cache speed where the cache_factor (4) is selected from real tests with current generation of CPU/NUMA configurations to correct the difference in CPU usage between cached (during calc phase) and non-cached (working) state of the estimated per-cpu data. First kthread also plays the role of distributor of added estimators to all kthreads, keeping low the time to add estimators. The optimization is based on the fact that newly added estimator should be estimated after 2 seconds, so we have the time to offload the adding to chain from controlling process to kthread 0. The allocated kthread context may grow from 1 to 50 allocated structures for timer ticks which saves memory for setups with small number of estimators. We also add delayed work est_reload_work that will make sure the kthread tasks are properly started/stopped. ip_vs_start_estimator() is changed to report errors which allows to safely store the estimators in allocated structures. Many thanks to Jiri Wiesner for his valuable comments and for spending a lot of time reviewing and testing the changes on different platforms with 48-256 CPUs and 1-8 NUMA nodes under different cpufreq governors.

expire_nodest_conn=1 When expire_nodest_conn=1 and a destination is deleted, IPVS does not expire the existing connections until the next matching incoming packet. If there are many connection entries from a single client to a single destination, many packets may get dropped before all the connections are expired (more likely with lots of UDP traffic). An optimization can be made where upon deletion of a destination, IPVS queues up delayed work to immediately expire any connections with a deleted destination. This ensures any reused source ports from a client (within the IPVS timeouts) are scheduled to new real servers instead of silently dropped.

YangYuxi is reporting that connection reuse is causing one-second delay when SYN hits existing connection in TIME_WAIT state. Such delay was added to give time to expire both the IPVS connection and the corresponding conntrack. This was considered a rare case at that time but it is causing problem for some environments such as Kubernetes. As nf_conntrack_tcp_packet() can decide to release the conntrack in TIME_WAIT state and to replace it with a fresh NEW conntrack, we can use this to allow rescheduling just by tuning our check: if the conntrack is confirmed we can not schedule it to different real server and the one-second delay still applies but if new conntrack was created, we are free to select new real server without any delays. YangYuxi lists some of the problem reports: - One second connection delay in masquerading mode: https://marc.info/?t=151683118100004&r=1&w=2 - IPVS low throughput #70747 https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/70747 - Apache Bench can fill up ipvs service proxy in seconds #544 https://github.com/cloudnativelabs/kube-router/issues/544 - Additional 1s latency in `host -> service IP -> pod` https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/90854 Fixes: f719e3754ee2 ("ipvs: drop first packet to redirect conntrack") Co-developed-by: YangYuxi <yx.atom1@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: YangYuxi <yx.atom1@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Reviewed-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
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.
