pull-request: bpf 2020-12-28
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.
There is a small merge conflict between bpf tree commit 69ca310f34
("bpf: Save correct stopping point in file seq iteration") and net tree
commit 66ed594409 ("bpf/task_iter: In task_file_seq_get_next use
task_lookup_next_fd_rcu"). The get_files_struct() does not exist anymore
in net, so take the hunk in HEAD and add the `info->tid = curr_tid` to
the error path:
[...]
curr_task = task_seq_get_next(ns, &curr_tid, true);
if (!curr_task) {
info->task = NULL;
info->tid = curr_tid;
return NULL;
}
/* set info->task and info->tid */
[...]
We've added 10 non-merge commits during the last 9 day(s) which contain
a total of 11 files changed, 75 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-).
The main changes are:
1) Various AF_XDP fixes such as fill/completion ring leak on failed bind and
fixing a race in skb mode's backpressure mechanism, from Magnus Karlsson.
2) Fix latency spikes on lockdep enabled kernels by adding a rescheduling
point to BPF hashtab initialization, from Eric Dumazet.
3) Fix a splat in task iterator by saving the correct stopping point in the
seq file iteration, from Jonathan Lemon.
4) Fix BPF maps selftest by adding retries in case hashtab returns EBUSY
errors on update/deletes, from Andrii Nakryiko.
5) Fix BPF selftest error reporting to something more user friendly if the
vmlinux BTF cannot be found, from Kamal Mostafa.

Fix a race when multiple sockets are simultaneously calling sendto()
when the completion ring is shared in the SKB case. This is the case
when you share the same netdev and queue id through the
XDP_SHARED_UMEM bind flag. The problem is that multiple processes can
be in xsk_generic_xmit() and call the backpressure mechanism in
xskq_prod_reserve(xs->pool->cq). As this is a shared resource in this
specific scenario, a race might occur since the rings are
single-producer single-consumer.
Fix this by moving the tx_completion_lock from the socket to the pool
as the pool is shared between the sockets that share the completion
ring. (The pool is not shared when this is not the case.) And then
protect the accesses to xskq_prod_reserve() with this lock. The
tx_completion_lock is renamed cq_lock to better reflect that it
protects accesses to the potentially shared completion ring.

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
"While we have a small number of SELinux patches for v5.11, there are a
few changes worth highlighting:
- Change the LSM network hooks to pass flowi_common structs instead
of the parent flowi struct as the LSMs do not currently need the
full flowi struct and they do not have enough information to use it
safely (missing information on the address family).
This patch was discussed both with Herbert Xu (representing team
netdev) and James Morris (representing team
LSMs-other-than-SELinux).
- Fix how we handle errors in inode_doinit_with_dentry() so that we
attempt to properly label the inode on following lookups instead of
continuing to treat it as unlabeled.
- Tweak the kernel logic around allowx, auditallowx, and dontauditx
SELinux policy statements such that the auditx/dontauditx are
effective even without the allowx statement.
Everything passes our test suite"

For each TCP zero window probe, the icsk_backoff is increased by one and
its max value is tcp_retries2. If tcp_retries2 is greater than 63, the
probe0 timeout shift may exceed its max bits. On x86_64/ARMv8/MIPS, the
shift count would be masked to range 0 to 63. And on ARMv7 the result is
zero. If the shift count is masked, only several probes will be sent
with timeout shorter than TCP_RTO_MAX. But if the timeout is zero, it
needs tcp_retries2 times probes to end this false timeout. Besides,
bitwise shift greater than or equal to the width is an undefined
behavior.
This patch adds a limit to the backoff. The max value of max_when is
TCP_RTO_MAX and the min value of timeout base is TCP_RTO_MIN. The limit
is the backoff from TCP_RTO_MIN to TCP_RTO_MAX.

Because TCP-level resets only affect the subflow, there is a MPTCP
option to indicate that the MPTCP-level connection should be closed
immediately without a mptcp-level fin exchange.
This is the 'MPTCP fast close option'. It can be carried on ack
segments or TCP resets. In the latter case, its needed to parse mptcp
options also for reset packets so that MPTCP can act accordingly.
Next patch will add receive side fastclose support in MPTCP.

Pull misc fixes from Christian Brauner:
"This contains several fixes which felt worth being combined into a
single branch:
- Use put_nsproxy() instead of open-coding it switch_task_namespaces()
- Kirill's work to unify lifecycle management for all namespaces. The
lifetime counters are used identically for all namespaces types.
Namespaces may of course have additional unrelated counters and
these are not altered. This work allows us to unify the type of the
counters and reduces maintenance cost by moving the counter in one
place and indicating that basic lifetime management is identical
for all namespaces.
- Peilin's fix adding three byte padding to Dmitry's
PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO uapi struct to prevent an info leak.
- Two smal patches to convert from the /* fall through */ comment
annotation to the fallthrough keyword annotation which I had taken
into my branch and into -next before df561f6688 ("treewide: Use
fallthrough pseudo-keyword") made it upstream which fixed this

On a few of our systems, I found frequent 'unshare(CLONE_NEWNET)' calls
make the number of active slab objects including 'sock_inode_cache' type
rapidly and continuously increase. As a result, memory pressure occurs.
In more detail, I made an artificial reproducer that resembles the
workload that we found the problem and reproduce the problem faster. It
merely repeats 'unshare(CLONE_NEWNET)' 50,000 times in a loop. It takes
about 2 minutes. On 40 CPU cores / 70GB DRAM machine, the available
memory continuously reduced in a fast speed (about 120MB per second,
15GB in total within the 2 minutes). Note that the issue don't
reproduce on every machine. On my 6 CPU cores machine, the problem
didn't reproduce.
'cleanup_net()' and 'fqdir_work_fn()' are functions that deallocate the
relevant memory objects. They are asynchronously invoked by the work
queues and internally use 'rcu_barrier()' to ensure safe destructions.
'cleanup_net()' works in a batched maneer in a single thread worker,
while 'fqdir_work_fn()' works for each 'fqdir_exit()' call in the
'system_wq'. Therefore, 'fqdir_work_fn()' called frequently under the
workload and made the contention for 'rcu_barrier()' high. In more
detail, the global mutex, 'rcu_state.barrier_mutex' became the
bottleneck.
This commit avoids such contention by doing the 'rcu_barrier()' and
subsequent lightweight works in a batched manner, as similar to that of
'cleanup_net()'. The fqdir hashtable destruction, which is done before
the 'rcu_barrier()', is still allowed to run in parallel for fast
processing, but this commit makes it to use a dedicated work queue
instead of the 'system_wq', to make sure that the number of threads is
bounded.

DESTROY events do not include the remaining timeout.
Add the timeout if the entry was removed explicitly. This can happen
when a conntrack gets deleted prematurely, e.g. due to a tcp reset,

ctnetlink and so on.
Add the protocol state too for the destroy message to check for abnormal

NL80211_CMD_SET_SAR_SPECS is added to configure SAR from
user space. NL80211_ATTR_SAR_SPEC is used to pass the SAR
power specification when used with NL80211_CMD_SET_SAR_SPECS.
Wireless driver needs to register SAR type, supported frequency
ranges to wiphy, so user space can query it. The index in
frequency range is used to specify which sub band the power
limitation applies to. The SAR type is for compatibility, so later
other SAR mechanism can be implemented without breaking the user
space SAR applications.
Normal process is user space queries the SAR capability, and
gets the index of supported frequency ranges and associates the
power limitation with this index and sends to kernel.
