This patch fixes two issues:
1) When forwarding on *,G mroutes that are in a vrf, the
kernel was dropping information about the actual incoming
interface when calling ip_mr_forward from ip_mr_input.
This caused ip_mr_forward to send the multicast packet
back out the incoming interface. Fix this by
modifying ip_mr_forward to be handed the correctly
resolved dev.
2) When a unresolved cache entry is created we store
the incoming skb on the unresolved cache entry and
upon mroute resolution from the user space daemon,
we attempt to forward the packet. Again we were
not resolving to the correct incoming device for
a vrf scenario, before calling ip_mr_forward.
Fix this by resolving to the correct interface
and calling ip_mr_forward with the result.

Currently there's no way to dump the VIF table for an ipmr table other
than the default (via proc). This is a major issue when debugging ipmr
issues and in general it is good to know which interfaces are
configured. This patch adds support for RTM_GETLINK for the ipmr family
so we can dump the VIF table and the ipmr table's current config for
each table. We're protected by rtnl so no need to acquire RCU or
mrt_lock.

Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using
netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources
can occur in one of two different places.
Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor().
The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon
whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it
is safe to perform the freeing.
netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the
NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast
address lists are flushed.
netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the
netdev references all go away.
Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor()
almost universally does also a free_netdev().
This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice().
Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing
of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice()
fails.
If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside
of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But
it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor().
This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and
then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same.
However, this means that the resources that would normally be released
by netdev->destructor() will not be.
Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by
invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice()
fails.
Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks.
Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what
private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether
the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev().
netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private
resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for
free_netdev().
netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether
free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice().
Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after
ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit()
and netdev->priv_destructor().
And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke
netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev().

The skb->dev that is passed into ip_mr_input is
the loX device for VRFs. When we lookup a vif
for this dev, none is found as we do not create
vifs for loopbacks. Instead lookup a vif for the
actual device that the packet was received on,
eg the vlan.

Recently we started using ipmr with thousands of entries and easily hit
soft lockups on smaller devices. The reason is that the hash function
uses the high order bits from the src and dst, but those don't change in
many common cases, also the hash table is only 64 elements so with
thousands it doesn't scale at all.
This patch migrates the hash table to rhashtable, and in particular the
rhl interface which allows for duplicate elements to be chained because
of the MFC_PROXY support (*,G; *,*,oif cases) which allows for multiple
duplicate entries to be added with different interfaces (IMO wrong, but
it's been in for a long time).
And here are some results from tests I've run in a VM:
mr_table size (default, allocated for all namespaces):
Before After
49304 bytes 2400 bytes
Add 65000 routes (the diff is much larger on smaller devices):
Before After
1m42s 58s
Forwarding 256 byte packets with 65000 routes (test done in a VM):
Before After
3 Mbps / ~1465 pps 122 Mbps / ~59000 pps
As a bonus we no longer see the soft lockups on smaller devices which
showed up even with 2000 entries before.

Some configurations (e.g. geneve interface with default
MTU of 1500 over an ethernet interface with 1500 MTU) result
in the transmission of packets that exceed the configured MTU.
While this should be considered to be a "bad" configuration,
it is still allowed and should not result in the sending
of packets that exceed the configured MTU.
Fix by dropping the assumption in ip_finish_output_gso() that
locally originated gso packets will never need fragmentation.
Basic testing using iperf (observing CPU usage and bandwidth)
have shown no measurable performance impact for traffic not

Enable support for IPv4 multicast:

if relevant prior to calling fib_rules_lookup. The table id is saved
to the lookup arg so the rule action for ipmr can return the table
associated with the device.
- ip_mr_forward needs to check for master device mismatch as well
since the skb->dev is set to it
- allow multicast address on VRF device for Rx by checking for the
daddr in the VRF device as well as the original ingress device
- on Tx need to drop to __mkroute_output when FIB lookup fails for
multicast destination address.
- if CONFIG_IP_MROUTE_MULTIPLE_TABLES is enabled VRF driver creates
IPMR FIB rules on first device create similar to FIB rules. In
addition the VRF driver does not divert IPv4 multicast packets:
it breaks on Tx since the fib lookup fails on the mcast address.

In preparation for hardware offloading of ipmr/ip6mr we need an
interface that allows to check (and later update) the age of entries.
Relying on stats alone can show activity but not actual age of the entry,
furthermore when there're tens of thousands of entries a lot of the
hardware implementations only support "hit" bits which are cleared on
read to denote that the entry was active and shouldn't be aged out,
these can then be naturally translated into age timestamp and will be
compatible with the software forwarding age. Using a lastuse entry doesn't
affect performance because the members in that cache line are written to
along with the age.
Since all new users are encouraged to use ipmr via netlink, this is
exported via the RTA_EXPIRES attribute.
Also do a minor local variable declaration style adjustment - arrange them
longest to shortest.

The already existing infrastructure is used to create and delete the
entries, the netlink message gets converted internally to a struct mfcctl
which is used with ipmr_mfc_add/delete.
The other used attributes are:
RTA_IIF - used for mfcc_parent (when adding it's required to be valid)

This is immediately motivated by the bridge code that chains functions that
call into netfilter. Without passing net into the okfns the bridge code would
need to guess about the best expression for the network namespace to process
packets in.
As net is frequently one of the first things computed in continuation functions
after netfilter has done it's job passing in the desired network namespace is in
many cases a code simplification.
To support this change the function dst_output_okfn is introduced to
simplify passing dst_output as an okfn. For the moment dst_output_okfn
just silently drops the struct net.

Pass a network namespace parameter into the netfilter hooks. At the
call site of the netfilter hooks the path a packet is taking through
the network stack is well known which allows the network namespace to
be easily and reliabily.
This allows the replacement of magic code like
"dev_net(state->in?:state->out)" that appears at the start of most
netfilter hooks with "state->net".
In almost all cases the network namespace passed in is derived
from the first network device passed in, guaranteeing those

ipv6/raw.c:raw6_send_hdrinc() sock_net(sk)
br_netfilter_hooks.c:br_nf_pre_routing_finish() dev_net(skb->dev) before skb->dev is set to nf_bridge->physindev
In all cases these exceptions seem to be a better expression for the
network namespace the packet is being processed in then the historic
"dev_net(in?in:out)". I am documenting them in case something odd
pops up and someone starts trying to track down what happened.
