xfrm_send_migrate() in net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c and pfkey_send_migrate()
in net/key/af_key.c both hardcode &init_net for the multicast that
announces a successful XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE / SADB_X_MIGRATE.
XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE arrives on a per-netns NETLINK_XFRM socket, and the
rest of the xfrm/af_key netlink path was made netns-aware in 2008.
The other 14 multicast paths in xfrm_user.c route their event using
xs_net(x), xp_net(xp) or sock_net(skb->sk); only the migrate path
was missed.
Two consequences of the init_net hardcoding:
1. The notification (selector, old/new endpoint addresses, and the
km_address) is delivered to listeners on init_net's
XFRMNLGRP_MIGRATE / pfkey BROADCAST_ALL groups rather than on
the issuing netns. An IKE daemon running in init_net therefore
receives migration notifications originating from any other
netns on the host.
2. An IKE daemon running inside a non-init netns and subscribed
to its own XFRMNLGRP_MIGRATE / pfkey groups never receives the
notification of its own migration. IKEv2 MOBIKE / address-update
handling inside a netns is silently broken.
Thread struct net through km_migrate() and the xfrm_mgr.migrate
function pointer, drop the &init_net override in xfrm_send_migrate()
and pfkey_send_migrate(), and pass the caller's net (already in
scope in xfrm_migrate() via sock_net(skb->sk)) all the way down.
struct xfrm_mgr is in-tree only and not exported as a stable API,
so the function-pointer signature change is internal.
pfkey_broadcast() is already netns-aware via net_generic(net,
pfkey_net_id) since the pernet conversion. The five other
pfkey_broadcast() callers in af_key.c already pass xs_net(x),
sock_net(sk) or a per-netns net, so this only removes the
&init_net outlier.

The mentioned struct has an hole and uses unnecessary wide type to
store MAC length and indexes of very small arrays.
It's also embedded into the skb_extensions, and the latter, due
to recent CAN changes, may exceeds the 192 bytes mark (3 cachelines
on x86_64 arch) on some reasonable configurations.
Reordering and the sec_path fields, shrinking xfrm_offload.orig_mac_len
to 16 bits and xfrm_offload.{len,olen,verified_cnt} to u8, we can save
16 bytes and keep skb_extensions size under control.

int verified_cnt;

/* size: 88, cachelines: 2, members: 5 */
/* sum members: 84, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
/* last cacheline: 24 bytes */
};

The GSO segmentation functions for ESP tunnel mode
(xfrm4_tunnel_gso_segment and xfrm6_tunnel_gso_segment) were
determining the inner packet's L2 protocol type by checking the static
x->inner_mode.family field from the xfrm state.
This is unreliable. In tunnel mode, the state's actual inner family
could be defined by x->inner_mode.family or by
x->inner_mode_iaf.family. Checking only the former can lead to a
mismatch with the actual packet being processed, causing GSO to create
segments with the wrong L2 header type.
This patch fixes the bug by deriving the inner mode directly from the
packet's inner protocol stored in XFRM_MODE_SKB_CB(skb)->protocol.
Instead of replicating the code, this patch modifies the
xfrm_ip2inner_mode helper function. It now correctly returns
&x->inner_mode if the selector family (x->sel.family) is already
specified, thereby handling both specific and AF_UNSPEC cases
appropriately.
With this change, ESP GSO can use xfrm_ip2inner_mode to get the
correct inner mode. It doesn't affect existing callers, as the updated
logic now mirrors the checks they were already performing externally.

This reverts commit f75a2804da.
With all states (whether user or kern) removed from the hashtables
during deletion, there's no need for synchronous destruction of
states. xfrm6_tunnel states still need to have been destroyed (which
will be the case when its last user is deleted (not destroyed)) so
that xfrm6_tunnel_free_spi removes it from the per-netns hashtable
before the netns is destroyed.
This has the benefit of skipping one synchronize_rcu per state (in
__xfrm_state_destroy(sync=true)) when we exit a netns.

The ipcomp fallback tunnels currently get deleted (from the various
lists and hashtables) as the last user state that needed that fallback
is destroyed (not deleted). If a reference to that user state still
exists, the fallback state will remain on the hashtables/lists,
triggering the WARN in xfrm_state_fini. Because of those remaining
references, the fix in commit f75a2804da ("xfrm: destroy xfrm_state
synchronously on net exit path") is not complete.
We recently fixed one such situation in TCP due to defered freeing of
skbs (commit 9b6412e697 ("tcp: drop secpath at the same time as we
currently drop dst")). This can also happen due to IP reassembly: skbs
with a secpath remain on the reassembly queue until netns
destruction. If we can't guarantee that the queues are flushed by the
time xfrm_state_fini runs, there may still be references to a (user)
xfrm_state, preventing the timely deletion of the corresponding
fallback state.
Instead of chasing each instance of skbs holding a secpath one by one,
this patch fixes the issue directly within xfrm, by deleting the
fallback state as soon as the last user state depending on it has been
deleted. Destruction will still happen when the final reference is
dropped.
A separate lockdep class for the fallback state is required since
we're going to lock x->tunnel while x is locked.

Add hardware offload configuration to XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE
using an option netlink attribute XFRMA_OFFLOAD_DEV.
In the existing xfrm_state_migrate(), the xfrm_init_state()
is called assuming no hardware offload by default. Even the
original xfrm_state is configured with offload, the setting will
be reset. If the device is configured with hardware offload,
it's reasonable to allow the device to maintain its hardware
offload mode. But the device will end up with offload disabled
after receiving a migration event when the device migrates the
connection from one netdev to another one.
The devices that support migration may work with different
underlying networks, such as mobile devices. The hardware setting
should be forwarded to the different netdev based on the
migration configuration. This change provides the capability
for user space to migrate from one netdev to another.

Refactor the bonding ipsec offload operations to fix a number of
long-standing control plane races between state migration and user
deletion and a few other issues.
xfrm state deletion can happen concurrently with
bond_change_active_slave() operation. This manifests itself as a
bond_ipsec_del_sa() call with x->lock held, followed by a
bond_ipsec_free_sa() a bit later from a wq. The alternate path of
these calls coming from xfrm_dev_state_flush() can't happen, as that
needs the RTNL lock and bond_change_active_slave() already holds it.
1. bond_ipsec_del_sa_all() might call xdo_dev_state_delete() a second
time on an xfrm state that was concurrently killed. This is bad.
2. bond_ipsec_add_sa_all() can add a state on the new device, but
pending bond_ipsec_free_sa() calls from the old device will then hit
the WARN_ON() and then, worse, call xdo_dev_state_free() on the new
device without a corresponding xdo_dev_state_delete().
3. Resolve a sleeping in atomic context introduced by the mentioned
"Fixes" commit.
bond_ipsec_del_sa_all() and bond_ipsec_add_sa_all() now acquire x->lock
and check for x->km.state to help with problems 1 and 2. And since
xso.real_dev is now a private pointer managed by the bonding driver in
xfrm state, make better use of it to fully fix problems 1 and 2. In
bond_ipsec_del_sa_all(), set xso.real_dev to NULL while holding both the
mutex and x->lock, which makes sure that neither bond_ipsec_del_sa() nor
bond_ipsec_free_sa() could run concurrently.
Fix problem 3 by moving the list cleanup (which requires the mutex) from
bond_ipsec_del_sa() (called from atomic context) to bond_ipsec_free_sa()
Finally, simplify bond_ipsec_del_sa() and bond_ipsec_free_sa() by using
xso->real_dev directly, since it's now protected by locks and can be
trusted to always reflect the offload device.

Previously, device driver IPSec offload implementations would fall into
two categories:
1. Those that used xso.dev to determine the offload device.
2. Those that used xso.real_dev to determine the offload device.
The first category didn't work with bonding while the second did.
In a non-bonding setup the two pointers are the same.
This commit adds explicit pointers for the offload netdevice to
.xdo_dev_state_add() / .xdo_dev_state_delete() / .xdo_dev_state_free()
which eliminates the confusion and allows drivers from the first
category to work with bonding.
xso.real_dev now becomes a private pointer managed by the bonding

The current scheme for caching the encap socket can lead to reference
leaks when we try to delete the netns.
The reference chain is: xfrm_state -> enacp_sk -> netns
Since the encap socket is a userspace socket, it holds a reference on
the netns. If we delete the espintcp state (through flush or
individual delete) before removing the netns, the reference on the
socket is dropped and the netns is correctly deleted. Otherwise, the
netns may not be reachable anymore (if all processes within the ns
have terminated), so we cannot delete the xfrm state to drop its
reference on the socket.
This patch results in a small (~2% in my tests) performance
regression.
A GC-type mechanism could be added for the socket cache, to clear
references if the state hasn't been used "recently", but it's a lot
more complex than just not caching the socket.
