bug fix intermixing of making dsa_master_set_mtu() static with the fixing of the tagging attribute location. cls_flower had a conflict because the dup reject fix from Or overlapped with the addition of port range classifiction. __set_phy_supported()'s conflict was relatively easy to resolve because Andrew fixed it in both trees, so it was just a matter of taking the net-next copy. Or at least I think it was :-) Joe Stringer's fix to the handling of netns id 0 in bpf_sk_lookup() intermixed with changes on how the sdif and caller_net are calculated in these code paths in net-next. The remaining BPF conflicts were largely about the addition of the __bpf_md_ptr stuff in 'net' overlapping with adjustments and additions to the relevant data structure where the MD pointer macros are used.

While skb_push() makes the kernel panic if the skb headroom is less than
the unaligned hardware header size, it will proceed normally in case we
copy more than that because of alignment, and we'll silently corrupt
adjacent slabs.

In the case fixed by the previous patch,
"ipv6: Check available headroom in ip6_xmit() even without options", we
end up in neigh_hh_output() with 14 bytes headroom, 14 bytes hardware
header and write 16 bytes, starting 2 bytes before the allocated buffer.

Always check we're not writing before skb->head and, if the headroom is
not enough, warn and drop the packet.

v2:
 - instead of panicking with BUG_ON(), WARN_ON_ONCE() and drop the packet
   (Eric Dumazet)
 - if we avoid the panic, though, we need to explicitly check the headroom
   before the memcpy(), otherwise we'll have corrupted slabs on a running
   kernel, after we warn
 - use __skb_push() instead of skb_push(), as the headroom check is
   already implemented here explicitly (Eric Dumazet)

neighbor: Improve garbage collection 2018-12-08T00:03:10+00:00 David Ahern dsahern@gmail.com 2018-12-07T20:24:57+00:00 58956317c8de52009d1a38a721474c24aef74fe7 The existing garbage collection algorithm has a number of problems: 1. The gc algorithm will not evict PERMANENT entries as those entries are managed by userspace, yet the existing algorithm walks the entire hash table which means it always considers PERMANENT entries when looking for entries to evict. In some use cases (e.g., EVPN) there can be tens of thousands of PERMANENT entries leading to wasted CPU cycles when gc kicks in. As an example, with 32k permanent entries, neigh_alloc has been observed taking more than 4 msec per invocation. 2. Currently, when the number of neighbor entries hits gc_thresh2 and the last flush for the table was more than 5 seconds ago gc kicks in walks the entire hash table evicting *all* entries not in PERMANENT or REACHABLE state and not marked as externally learned. There is no discriminator on when the neigh entry was created or if it just moved from REACHABLE to another NUD_VALID state (e.g., NUD_STALE). It is possible for entries to be created or for established neighbor entries to be moved to STALE (e.g., an external node sends an ARP request) right before the 5 second window lapses: -----|---------x|----------|----- t-5 t t+5 If that happens those entries are evicted during gc causing unnecessary thrashing on neighbor entries and userspace caches trying to track them. Further, this contradicts the description of gc_thresh2 which says "Entries older than 5 seconds will be cleared". One workaround is to make gc_thresh2 == gc_thresh3 but that negates the whole point of having separate thresholds. 3. Clearing *all* neigh non-PERMANENT/REACHABLE/externally learned entries when gc_thresh2 is exceeded is over kill and contributes to trashing especially during startup. This patch addresses these problems as follows: 1. Use of a separate list_head to track entries that can be garbage collected along with a separate counter. PERMANENT entries are not added to this list. The gc_thresh parameters are only compared to the new counter, not the total entries in the table. The forced_gc function is updated to only walk this new gc_list looking for entries to evict. 2. Entries are added to the list head at the tail and removed from the front. 3. Entries are only evicted if they were last updated more than 5 seconds ago, adhering to the original intent of gc_thresh2. 4. Forced gc is stopped once the number of gc_entries drops below gc_thresh2. 5. Since gc checks do not apply to PERMANENT entries, gc levels are skipped when allocating a new neighbor for a PERMANENT entry. By extension this means there are no explicit limits on the number of PERMANENT entries that can be created, but this is no different than FIB entries or FDB entries.

The existing garbage collection algorithm has a number of problems:

1. The gc algorithm will not evict PERMANENT entries as those entries
   are managed by userspace, yet the existing algorithm walks the entire
   hash table which means it always considers PERMANENT entries when
   looking for entries to evict. In some use cases (e.g., EVPN) there
   can be tens of thousands of PERMANENT entries leading to wasted
   CPU cycles when gc kicks in. As an example, with 32k permanent
   entries, neigh_alloc has been observed taking more than 4 msec per
   invocation.

2. Currently, when the number of neighbor entries hits gc_thresh2 and
   the last flush for the table was more than 5 seconds ago gc kicks in
   walks the entire hash table evicting *all* entries not in PERMANENT
   or REACHABLE state and not marked as externally learned. There is no
   discriminator on when the neigh entry was created or if it just moved
   from REACHABLE to another NUD_VALID state (e.g., NUD_STALE).

   It is possible for entries to be created or for established neighbor
   entries to be moved to STALE (e.g., an external node sends an ARP
   request) right before the 5 second window lapses:

        -----|---------x|----------|-----
            t-5         t         t+5

   If that happens those entries are evicted during gc causing unnecessary
   thrashing on neighbor entries and userspace caches trying to track them.

   Further, this contradicts the description of gc_thresh2 which says
   "Entries older than 5 seconds will be cleared".

   One workaround is to make gc_thresh2 == gc_thresh3 but that negates the
   whole point of having separate thresholds.

3. Clearing *all* neigh non-PERMANENT/REACHABLE/externally learned entries
   when gc_thresh2 is exceeded is over kill and contributes to trashing
   especially during startup.

This patch addresses these problems as follows:

1. Use of a separate list_head to track entries that can be garbage
   collected along with a separate counter. PERMANENT entries are not
   added to this list.

   The gc_thresh parameters are only compared to the new counter, not the

4. Forced gc is stopped once the number of gc_entries drops below
   gc_thresh2.

5. Since gc checks do not apply to PERMANENT entries, gc levels are skipped
   when allocating a new neighbor for a PERMANENT entry. By extension this
   means there are no explicit limits on the number of PERMANENT entries
   that can be created, but this is no different than FIB entries or FDB
   entries.
