When NEWTFILTER and DELFILTER are run concurrently it is possible to create a
race with an associated action.
Let's illustrate with CPU0 running NEWTFILTER and CPU1 running DELFILTER:
0: mutex_lock() <-- holds the idr lock
0: rcu_read_lock()
0: p = idr_find(idr, index) <-- action p is valid (RCU protects IDR)
0: mutex_unlock() <-- releases the idr lock
1: refcount_dec_and_mutex_lock() <-- refcnt 1->0, mutex held
1: idr_remove(idr, index) <-- Action removed from IDR
1: mutex_unlock() <-- mutex released allowing us to delete the action
1: tcf_action_cleanup(p); kfree(p) <-- Kfrees p immediately, no deferral
0: refcount_inc_not_zero(&p->tcfa_refcnt) <-- ouch, UAF p points to freed memory
This patch fixes the race condition between NEWTFILTER and DELFILTER by
adding struct rcu_head to tc_action used in the deferral and introducing a
call_rcu() in the delete path to defer the final kfree().
Note: this is a revert of commit d7fb60b9ca ("net_sched: get rid of tcfa_rcu")
but also modernization/simplification to directly use kfree_rcu().
Let's illustrate the new restored code path:
0: rcu_read_lock()
1: refcount_dec_and_mutex_lock() <-- refcnt 1->0, mutex held
1: idr_remove(idr, index)
1: mutex_unlock()
1: call_rcu(&p->tcfa_rcu, tcf_action_rcu_free) <-- defer kfree after grace period
0: p = idr_find(idr, index)
0: refcount_inc_not_zero(&p->tcfa_refcnt) <-- fails, refcnt already 0
1: rcu_read_unlock() <-- release so freeing can run after grace period
After CPU1 calls idr_remove(), the object is no longer reachable through the IDR.
CPU0's subsequent idr_find() will return NULL, and even if it still held a
stale pointer, the immediate kfree() is now deferred until after the RCU grace
period, so no UAF can occur.
Fixes: d7fb60b9ca ("net_sched: get rid of tcfa_rcu")

qstats_overlimit_inc() is only used to increment per cpu overlimits.
It can use this_cpu_inc() to avoid this_cpu_ptr() extra cost
and avoid potential store tearing.
Change qstats_overlimit_inc() name and its argument type.
Also add a WRITE_ONCE() in qdisc_qstats_overlimit() to prevent

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

tc_action_net_exit() got an rtnl exclusion in commit
a159d3c4b8 ("net_sched: acquire RTNL in tc_action_net_exit()")
Since then, commit 16af606739 ("net: sched: implement reference
counted action release") made this RTNL exclusion obsolete for
most cases.
Only tcf_action_offload_del() might still require it.
Move the rtnl locking into tcf_idrinfo_destroy() when
an offload action is found.
Most netns do not have actions, yet deleting them is adding a lot
of pressure on RTNL, which is for many the most contended mutex
in the kernel.
We are moving to a per-netns 'rtnl', so tc_action_net_exit()
will not be able to grab 'rtnl' a single time for a batch of netns.
Before the patch:
perf probe -a rtnl_lock
perf record -e probe:rtnl_lock -a /bin/bash -c 'unshare -n "/bin/true"; sleep 1'
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.305 MB perf.data (25 samples) ]
After the patch:
perf record -e probe:rtnl_lock -a /bin/bash -c 'unshare -n "/bin/true"; sleep 1'
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.304 MB perf.data (9 samples) ]

The macros are preparation for adding module aliases en mass in a
separate commit.
Although it would be tempting to create aliases like cls-foo for name
cls_foo, this could not be used because modprobe utilities treat '-' and
'_' interchangeably.
In the end, the naming follows pattern of proto modules in linux/net.h.

Bound actions always return '0' and as of today we rely on '0'
being returned in order to properly skip bound actions in
tcf_idr_insert_many. In order to further improve maintainability,
introduce the ACT_P_BOUND return code.
Actions are updated to return 'ACT_P_BOUND' instead of plain '0'.
tcf_idr_insert_many is then updated to check for 'ACT_P_BOUND'.

tcf_idr_insert_many will replace the allocated -EBUSY pointer in
tcf_idr_check_alloc with the real action pointer, exposing it
to all operations. This operation is only needed when the action pointer
is created (ACT_P_CREATED). For actions which are bound to (returned 0),
the pointer already resides in the idr making such operation a nop.
Even though it's a nop, it's still not a cheap operation as internally
the idr code walks the idr and then does a replace on the appropriate slot.
So if the action was bound, better skip the idr replace entirely.

Add support for skbedit queue mapping action on receive
side. This is supported only in hardware, so the skip_sw
flag is enforced. This enables offloading filters for
receive queue selection in the hardware using the
skbedit action. Traffic arrives on the Rx queue requested
in the skbedit action parameter. A new tc action flag
TCA_ACT_FLAGS_AT_INGRESS is introduced to identify the
traffic direction the action queue_mapping is requested
on during filter addition. This is used to disallow
offloading the skbedit queue mapping action on transmit
side.
Example:
$tc filter add dev $IFACE ingress protocol ip flower dst_ip $DST_IP\
action skbedit queue_mapping $rxq_id skip_sw
