2013-01-22ipv4: Fix route refcount on pmtu discoverySteffen Klassert
git commit 9cb3a50c (ipv4: Invalidate the socket cached route on pmtu events if possible) introduced a refcount problem. We don't get a refcount on the route if we get it from__sk_dst_get(), but we need one if we want to reuse this route because __sk_dst_set() releases the refcount of the old route. This patch adds proper refcount handling for that case. We introduce a 'new' flag to indicate that we are going to use a new route and we release the old route only if we replace it by a new one.

2013-01-21ipv4: Invalidate the socket cached route on pmtu events if possibleSteffen Klassert
The route lookup in ipv4_sk_update_pmtu() might return a route different from the route we cached at the socket. This is because standart routes are per cpu, so each cpu has it's own struct rtable. This means that we do not invalidate the socket cached route if the NET_RX_SOFTIRQ is not served by the same cpu that the sending socket uses. As a result, the cached route reused until we disconnect. With this patch we invalidate the socket cached route if possible. If the socket is owened by the user, we can't update the cached route directly. A followup patch will implement socket release callback functions for datagram sockets to handle this case.

2012-12-07ipv4/route/rtnl: get mcast attributes when dst is multicastNicolas Dichtel
Commit f1ce3062c538 (ipv4: Remove 'rt_dst' from 'struct rtable') removes the call to ipmr_get_route(), which will get multicast parameters of the route. I revert the part of the patch that remove this call. I think the goal was only to get rid of rt_dst field. The patch is only compiled-tested. My first idea was to remove ipmr_get_route() because rt_fill_info() was the only user, but it seems the previous patch cleans the code a bit too much ;-) Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-11-22ipv4: do not cache looped multicastsJulian Anastasov
Starting from 3.6 we cache output routes for multicasts only when using route to 224/4. For local receivers we can set RTCF_LOCAL flag depending on the membership but in such case we use maddr and saddr which are not caching keys as before. Additionally, we can not use same place to cache routes that differ in RTCF_LOCAL flag value. Fix it by caching only RTCF_MULTICAST entries without RTCF_LOCAL (send-only, no loopback). As a side effect, we avoid unneeded lookup for fnhe when not caching because multicasts are not redirected and they do not learn PMTU. Thanks to Maxime Bizon for showing the caching problems in __mkroute_output for 3.6 kernels: different RTCF_LOCAL flag in cache can lead to wrong ip_mc_output or ip_output call and the visible problem is that traffic can not reach local receivers via loopback.

2012-10-08ipv4: fix sending of redirectsJulian Anastasov
After "Cache input routes in fib_info nexthops" (commit d2d68ba9fe) and "Elide fib_validate_source() completely when possible" (commit 7a9bc9b81a) we can not send ICMP redirects. It seems we should not cache the RTCF_DOREDIRECT flag in nh_rth_input because the same fib_info can be used for traffic that is not redirected, eg. from other input devices or from sources that are not in same subnet. As result, we have to disable the caching of RTCF_DOREDIRECT flag and to force source validation for the case when forwarding traffic to the input device. If traffic comes from directly connected source we allow redirection as it was done before both changes. Avoid setting RTCF_DOREDIRECT if IN_DEV_TX_REDIRECTS is disabled, this can avoid source address validation and to help caching the routes. After the change "Adjust semantics of rt->rt_gateway" (commit f8126f1d51) we should make sure our ICMP_REDIR_HOST messages contain daddr instead of 0.0.0.0 when target is directly connected.

commit 404e0a8b6a55 (net: ipv4: fix RCU races on dst refcounts) tried to solve a race but added a problem at device/fib dismantle time : We really want to call dst_free() as soon as possible, even if sockets still have dst in their cache. dst_release() calls in free_fib_info_rcu() are not welcomed. Root of the problem was that now we also cache output routes (in nh_rth_output), we must use call_rcu() instead of call_rcu_bh() in rt_free(), because output route lookups are done in process context. Based on feedback and initial patch from David Miller (adding another call_rcu_bh() call in fib, but it appears it was not the right fix) I left the inet_sk_rx_dst_set() helper and added __rcu attributes to nh_rth_output and nh_rth_input to better document what is going on in this code.

We need instead regular dst refcounting (dst_release()) and make sure dst_release() is aware of RCU grace periods : Add DST_RCU_FREE flag so that dst_release() respects an RCU grace period before dst destruction for cached dst Introduce a new inet_sk_rx_dst_set() helper, using atomic_inc_not_zero() to make sure we dont increase a zero refcount (On a dst currently waiting an rcu grace period before destruction) rt_cache_route() must take a reference on the new cached route, and release it if was not able to install it. With this patch, my machines survive various benchmarks. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-07-26ipv4: Fix input route performance regression.David S. Miller
With the routing cache removal we lost the "noref" code paths on input, and this can kill some routing workloads. Reinstate the noref path when we hit a cached route in the FIB nexthops. With help from Eric Dumazet. Reported-by: Alexander Duyck <alexander.duyck@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-07-25ipv4: rt_cache_valid must check expired routesEric Dumazet
commit d2d68ba9fe8 (ipv4: Cache input routes in fib_info nexthops.) introduced rt_cache_valid() helper. It unfortunately doesn't check if route is expired before caching it. I noticed sk_setup_caps() was constantly called on a tcp workload. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-07-23ipv4: Change rt->rt_iif encoding.David S. Miller
On input packet processing, rt->rt_iif will be zero if we should use skb->dev->ifindex. Since we access rt->rt_iif consistently via inet_iif(), that is the only spot whose interpretation have to adjust. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-07-23ipv4: Prepare for change of rt->rt_iif encoding.David S. Miller
Use inet_iif() consistently, and for TCP record the input interface of cached RX dst in inet sock. rt->rt_iif is going to be encoded differently, so that we can legitimately cache input routes in the FIB info more aggressively. When the input interface is "use SKB device index" the rt->rt_iif will be set to zero. This forces us to move the TCP RX dst cache installation into the ipv4 specific code, and as well it should since doing the route caching for ipv6 is pointless at the moment since it is not inspected in the ipv6 input paths yet. Also, remove the unlikely on dst->obsolete, all ipv4 dsts have obsolete set to a non-zero value to force invocation of the check callback. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2012-07-20ipv4: Kill rt->fiDavid S. Miller
It's not really needed. We only grabbed a reference to the fib_info for the sake of fib_info local metrics. However, fib_info objects are freed using RCU, as are therefore their private metrics (if any). We would have triggered a route cache flush if we eliminated a reference to a fib_info object in the routing tables. Therefore, any existing cached routes will first check and see that they have been invalidated before an errant reference to these metric values would occur. Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-07-20ipv4: Turn rt->rt_route_iif into rt->rt_is_input.David S. Miller
That is this value's only use, as a boolean to indicate whether a route is an input route or not. So implement it that way, using a u16 gap present in the struct already. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
