2016-07-25net_sched: get rid of struct tcf_commonWANG Cong
After the previous patch, struct tc_action should be enough to represent the generic tc action, tcf_common is not necessary any more. This patch gets rid of it to make tc action code more readable.

2016-07-25net_sched: move tc_action into tcf_commonWANG Cong
struct tc_action is confusing, currently we use it for two purposes: 1) Pass in arguments and carry out results from helper functions 2) A generic representation for tc actions The first one is error-prone, since we need to make sure we don't miss anything. This patch aims to get rid of this use, by moving tc_action into tcf_common, so that they are allocated together in hashtable and can be cast'ed easily. And together with the following patch, we could really make tc_action a generic representation for all tc actions and each type of action can inherit from it.

2016-06-15net sched actions: bug fix dumping actions directly didnt produce NLMSG_DONEJamal Hadi Salim
This refers to commands to direct action access as follows: sudo tc actions add action drop index 12 sudo tc actions add action pipe index 10 And then dumping them like so: sudo tc actions ls action gact iproute2 worked because it depended on absence of TCA_ACT_TAB TLV as end of message.

2016-06-07net: sched: do not acquire qdisc spinlock in qdisc/class stats dumpEric Dumazet
Large tc dumps (tc -s {qdisc|class} sh dev ethX) done by Google BwE host agent [1] are problematic at scale : For each qdisc/class found in the dump, we currently lock the root qdisc spinlock in order to get stats. Sampling stats every 5 seconds from thousands of HTB classes is a challenge when the root qdisc spinlock is under high pressure. Not only the dumps take time, they also slow down the fast path (queue/dequeue packets) by 10 % to 20 % in some cases. An audit of existing qdiscs showed that sch_fq_codel is the only qdisc that might need the qdisc lock in fq_codel_dump_stats() and fq_codel_dump_class_stats() In v2 of this patch, I now use the Qdisc running seqcount to provide consistent reads of packets/bytes counters, regardless of 32/64 bit arches. I also changed rate estimators to use the same infrastructure so that they no longer need to lock root qdisc lock.

2016-02-25net_sched: add network namespace support for tc actionsWANG Cong
Currently tc actions are stored in a per-module hashtable, therefore are visible to all network namespaces. This is probably the last part of the tc subsystem which is not aware of netns now. This patch makes them per-netns, several tc action API's need to be adjusted for this. The tc action API code is ugly due to historical reasons, we need to refactor that code in the future.

2015-07-30net: sched: fix refcount imbalance in actionsDaniel Borkmann
Since commit 55334a5db5cd ("net_sched: act: refuse to remove bound action outside"), we end up with a wrong reference count for a tc action. Test case 1: FOO="1,6 0 0 4294967295," BAR="1,6 0 0 4294967294," tc filter add dev foo parent 1: bpf bytecode "$FOO" flowid 1:1 \ action bpf bytecode "$FOO" tc actions show action bpf action order 0: bpf bytecode '1,6 0 0 4294967295' default-action pipe index 1 ref 1 bind 1 tc actions replace action bpf bytecode "$BAR" index 1 tc actions show action bpf action order 0: bpf bytecode '1,6 0 0 4294967294' default-action pipe index 1 ref 2 bind 1 tc actions replace action bpf bytecode "$FOO" index 1 tc actions show action bpf action order 0: bpf bytecode '1,6 0 0 4294967295' default-action pipe index 1 ref 3 bind 1 Test case 2: FOO="1,6 0 0 4294967295," tc filter add dev foo parent 1: bpf bytecode "$FOO" flowid 1:1 action ok tc actions show action gact action order 0: gact action pass random type none pass val 0 index 1 ref 1 bind 1 tc actions add action drop index 1 RTNETLINK answers: File exists [...] tc actions show action gact action order 0: gact action pass random type none pass val 0 index 1 ref 2 bind 1 tc actions add action drop index 1 RTNETLINK answers: File exists [...] tc actions show action gact action order 0: gact action pass random type none pass val 0 index 1 ref 3 bind 1 What happens is that in tcf_hash_check(), we check tcf_common for a given index and increase tcfc_refcnt and conditionally tcfc_bindcnt when we've found an existing action. Now there are the following cases: 1) We do a late binding of an action. In that case, we leave the tcfc_refcnt/tcfc_bindcnt increased and are done with the ->init() handler. This is correctly handeled. 2) We replace the given action, or we try to add one without replacing and find out that the action at a specific index already exists (thus, we go out with error in that case). In case of 2), we have to undo the reference count increase from tcf_hash_check() in the tcf_hash_check() function. Currently, we fail to do so because of the 'tcfc_bindcnt > 0' check which bails out early with an -EPERM error. Now, while commit 55334a5db5cd prevents 'tc actions del action ...' on an already classifier-bound action to drop the reference count (which could then become negative, wrap around etc), this restriction only accounts for invocations outside a specific action's ->init() handler. One possible solution would be to add a flag thus we possibly trigger the -EPERM ony in situations where it is indeed relevant. After the patch, above test cases have correct reference count again.

2014-09-30net: sched: restrict use of qstats qlenJohn Fastabend
This removes the use of qstats->qlen variable from the classifiers and makes it an explicit argument to gnet_stats_copy_queue(). The qlen represents the qdisc queue length and is packed into the qstats at the last moment before passnig to user space. By handling it explicitely we avoid, in the percpu stats case, having to figure out which per_cpu variable to put it in. It would probably be best to remove it from qstats completely but qstats is a user space ABI and can't be broken. A future patch could make an internal only qstats structure that would avoid having to allocate an additional u32 variable on the Qdisc struct. This would make the qstats struct 128bits instead of 128+32. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-09-30net: sched: make bstats per cpu and estimator RCU safeJohn Fastabend

And because this is only needed for qdiscs that are running without locks which is not the case for most qdiscs in the near future only create percpu stats when qdiscs set the TCQ_F_CPUSTATS flag. Next because estimators use the bstats to calculate packets per second and bytes per second the estimator code paths are updated to use the per cpu statistics.

2014-04-24net: Use netlink_ns_capable to verify the permisions of netlink messagesEric W. Biederman
It is possible by passing a netlink socket to a more privileged executable and then to fool that executable into writing to the socket data that happens to be valid netlink message to do something that privileged executable did not intend to do. To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls with netlink_capable, netlink_net_calls and netlink_ns_capable calls. Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the opener of the socket had the desired permissions as well.
