* ipv6: remove rt6i_genidHannes Frederic Sowa2014-09-301-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Eric Dumazet noticed that all no-nonexthop or no-gateway routes which are already marked DST_HOST (e.g. input routes routes) will always be invalidated during sk_dst_check. Thus per-socket dst caching absolutely had no effect and early demuxing had no effect. Thus this patch removes rt6i_genid: fn_sernum already gets modified during add operations, so we only must ensure we mutate fn_sernum during ipv6 address remove operations. This is a fairly cost extensive operations, but address removal should not happen that often. Also our mtu update functions do the same and we heard no complains so far. xfrm policy changes also cause a call into fib6_flush_trees. Also plug a hole in rt6_info (no cacheline changes). I verified via tracing that this change has effect.

* ipv6: do not overwrite inetpeer metrics prematurelyMichal Kubeček2014-03-271-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If an IPv6 host route with metrics exists, an attempt to add a new route for the same target with different metrics fails but rewrites the metrics anyway: 12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 rto_min 1000 12sp0:~ # ip -6 route show fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 fec0::1 dev eth0 metric 1024 rto_min lock 1s 12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 rto_min 1500 RTNETLINK answers: File exists 12sp0:~ # ip -6 route show fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 fec0::1 dev eth0 metric 1024 rto_min lock 1.5s This is caused by all IPv6 host routes using the metrics in their inetpeer (or the shared default). This also holds for the new route created in ip6_route_add() which shares the metrics with the already existing route and thus ip6_route_add() rewrites the metrics even if the new route ends up not being used at all. Another problem is that old metrics in inetpeer can reappear unexpectedly for a new route, e.g. 12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 rto_min 1000 12sp0:~ # ip route del fec0::1 12sp0:~ # ip route add fec0::1 dev eth0 12sp0:~ # ip route change fec0::1 dev eth0 hoplimit 10 12sp0:~ # ip -6 route show fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 fec0::1 dev eth0 metric 1024 hoplimit 10 rto_min lock 1s Resolve the first problem by moving the setting of metrics down into fib6_add_rt2node() to the point we are sure we are inserting the new route into the tree. Second problem is addressed by introducing new flag DST_METRICS_FORCE_OVERWRITE which is set for a new host route in ip6_route_add() and makes ipv6_cow_metrics() always overwrite the metrics in inetpeer (even if they are not "new"); it is reset after that. v5: use a flag in _metrics member rather than one in flags v4: fix a typo making a condition always true (thanks to Hannes Frederic Sowa) v3: rewritten based on David Miller's idea to move setting the metrics (and allocation in non-host case) down to the point we already know the route is to be inserted. Also rebased to net-next as it is quite late in the cycle. Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

| * ipv6: reset dst.expires value when clearing expire flagHannes Frederic Sowa2013-10-251-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On receiving a packet too big icmp error we update the expire value by calling rt6_update_expires. This function uses dst_set_expires which is implemented that it can only reduce the expiration value of the dst entry. If we insert new routing non-expiry information into the ipv6 fib where we already have a matching rt6_info we only clear the RTF_EXPIRES flag in rt6i_flags and leave the dst.expires value as is. When new mtu information arrives for that cached dst_entry we again call dst_set_expires. This time it won't update the dst.expire value because we left the dst.expire value intact from the last update. So dst_set_expires won't touch dst.expires. Fix this by resetting dst.expires when clearing the RTF_EXPIRE flag. dst_set_expires checks for a zero expiration and updates the dst.expires. In the past this (not updating dst.expires) was necessary because dst.expire was placed in a union with the dst_entry *from reference and rt6_clean_expires did assign NULL to it. This split happend in ecd9883724b78cc72ed92c98bcb1a46c764fff21 ("ipv6: fix race condition regarding dst->expires and dst->from"). Reported-by: Steinar H.

* | ipv6: avoid high order memory allocations for /proc/net/ipv6_routeHannes Frederic Sowa2013-09-271-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dumping routes on a system with lots rt6_infos in the fibs causes up to 11-order allocations in seq_file (which fail).

* ipv6: prevent fib6_run_gc() contentionMichal Kubeček2013-08-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On a high-traffic router with many processors and many IPv6 dst entries, soft lockup in fib6_run_gc() can occur when number of entries reaches gc_thresh. This happens because fib6_run_gc() uses fib6_gc_lock to allow only one thread to run the garbage collector but ip6_dst_gc() doesn't update net->ipv6.ip6_rt_last_gc until fib6_run_gc() returns. On a system with many entries, this can take some time so that in the meantime, other threads pass the tests in ip6_dst_gc() (ip6_rt_last_gc is still not updated) and wait for the lock. They then have to run the garbage collector one after another which blocks them for quite long. Resolve this by replacing special value ~0UL of expire parameter to fib6_run_gc() by explicit "force" parameter to choose between spin_lock_bh() and spin_trylock_bh() and call fib6_run_gc() with force=false if gc_thresh is reached but not max_size.

To fix this issue, split 'from' and 'expires' field in dst_entry out of union. Once it is 'from' is assigned in the constructor, keep the reference until the very last stage of the life time of the object. Of course, it is unsafe to change 'from', so make rt6_set_from simple just for fresh entries.

* IPv6: Avoid taking write lock for /proc/net/ipv6_routeJosh Hunt2011-12-301-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During some debugging I needed to look into how /proc/net/ipv6_route operated and in my digging I found its calling fib6_clean_all() which uses "write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock)" before doing the walk of the table. I found this on 2.6.32, but reading the code I believe the same basic idea exists currently. Looking at the rtnetlink code they are only calling "read_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock);" via fib6_dump_table(). While I realize reading from proc isn't the recommended way of fetching the ipv6 route table; taking a write lock seems unnecessary and would probably cause network performance issues. To verify this I loaded up the ipv6 route table and then ran iperf in 3 cases: * doing nothing * reading ipv6 route table via proc (while :; do cat /proc/net/ipv6_route > /dev/null; done) * reading ipv6 route table via rtnetlink (while :; do ip -6 route show table all > /dev/null; done) * Load the ipv6 route table up with: * for ((i = 0;i < 4000;i++)); do ip route add unreachable 2000::$i; done * iperf commands: * client: iperf -i 1 -V -c <ipv6 addr> * server: iperf -V -s * iperf results - 3 runs each (in Mbits/sec) * nothing: client: 927,927,927 server: 927,927,927 * proc: client: 179,97,96,113 server: 142,112,133 * iproute: client: 928,927,928 server: 927,927,927 lock_stat shows taking the write lock is causing the slowdown. Using this info I decided to write a version of fib6_clean_all() which replaces write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock) with read_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock).

* inet: Create a mechanism for upward inetpeer propagation into routes.David S. Miller2011-02-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we didn't have a routing cache, we would not be able to properly propagate certain kinds of dynamic path attributes, for example PMTU information and redirects. The reason is that if we didn't have a routing cache, then there would be no way to lookup all of the active cached routes hanging off of sockets, tunnels, IPSEC bundles, etc. Consider the case where we created a cached route, but no inetpeer entry existed and also we were not asked to pre-COW the route metrics and therefore did not force the creation a new inetpeer entry. If we later get a PMTU message, or a redirect, and store this information in a new inetpeer entry, there is no way to teach that cached route about the newly existing inetpeer entry. The facilities implemented here handle this problem. First we create a generation ID. When we create a cached route of any kind, we remember the generation ID at the time of attachment. Any time we force-create an inetpeer entry in response to new path information, we bump that generation ID. The dst_ops->check() callback is where the knowledge of this event is propagated. If the global generation ID does not equal the one stored in the cached route, and the cached route has not attached to an inetpeer yet, we look it up and attach if one is found. Now that we've updated the cached route's information, we update the route's generation ID too. This clears the way for implementing PMTU and redirects directly in the inetpeer cache. There is absolutely no need to consult cached route information in order to maintain this information. At this point nothing bumps the inetpeer genids, that comes in the later changes which handle PMTUs and redirects using inetpeers. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* ipv6 fib: Make rt6_info{} more cache-line aware.YOSHIFUJI Hideaki / 吉藤英明2010-04-011-13/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The head element of rt6_info{} is dst_entry{}, and IPv6 specific elements follow. Because elements at the end of dst_entry{} are frequently updated, it is not good to put frequently-used static elements, such as rt6i_idev, rt6i_dst or rt6i_flags in the same cache line. On the other hand, fib6_table, rt6i_node or rt6i_gateway are rarely used, so it is okay to stay in the same cache line. Let's rearrange rt6_info{}.

* xfrm: select sane defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_threshNeil Horman2009-07-301-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Choose saner defaults for xfrm[4|6] gc_thresh values on init Currently, the xfrm[4|6] code has hard-coded initial gc_thresh values (set to 1024). Given that the ipv4 and ipv6 routing caches are sized dynamically at boot time, the static selections can be non-sensical. This patch dynamically selects an appropriate gc threshold based on the corresponding main routing table size, using the assumption that we should in the worst case be able to handle as many connections as the routing table can. For ipv4, the maximum route cache size is 16 * the number of hash buckets in the route cache. Given that xfrm4 starts garbage collection at the gc_thresh and prevents new allocations at 2 * gc_thresh, we set gc_thresh to half the maximum route cache size. For ipv6, its a bit trickier. there is no maximum route cache size, but the ipv6 dst_ops gc_thresh is statically set to 1024. It seems sane to select a simmilar gc_thresh for the xfrm6 code that is half the number of hash buckets in the v6 route cache times 16 (like the v4 code does).

* [NETNS][IPV6] ip6_fib - add net to gc timer parameterDaniel Lezcano2008-03-031-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fib tables are now relative to the network namespace. When the garbage collector timer expires, we must have a network namespace parameter in order to retrieve the tables. For now this is the init_net, but we should be able to have a timer per namespace and use the timer callback parameter to pass the network namespace from the expired timer. The timer callback, fib6_run_gc, is actually used to be called synchronously by some functions and asynchronously when the timer expires. When the timer expires, the delay specified for fib6_run_gc parameter is always zero. So, I changed fib6_run_gc to not be a timer callback but a function called by the timer callback and I added a timer callback where its work is just to retrieve from the data arg of the timer the network namespace and call fib6_run_gc with zero expiring time and the network namespace parameters. That makes the code cleaner for the fib6_run_gc callers. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Thery <benjamin.thery@bull.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
