Jozsef Kadlecsik 5f52bc3cdd netfilter: ipset: send error message manually
When a message carries multiple commands and one of them triggers
an error, we have to report to the userspace which one was that.
The line number of the command plays this role and there's an attribute
reserved in the header part of the message to be filled out with the error
line number. In order not to modify the original message received from
the userspace, we construct a new, complete netlink error message and
modifies the attribute there, then send it.
Netlink is notified not to send its ACK/error message.

they store the names of other (non list:set type of) sets: one can add,

added, deleted and tested and the process stops at the first success.

Jozsef Kadlecsik 6c02788969 netfilter: ipset: hash:ip set type support
The module implements the hash:ip type support in four flavours:
for IPv4 or IPv6, both without and with timeout support.

All the hash types are based on the "array hash" or ahash structure
and functions as a good compromise between minimal memory footprint
and speed. The hashing uses arrays to resolve clashes. The hash table
is resized (doubled) when searching becomes too long. Resizing can be
triggered by userspace add commands only and those are serialized by
the nfnl mutex. During resizing the set is read-locked, so the only
possible concurrent operations are the kernel side readers. Those are
protected by RCU locking.

Because of the four flavours and the other hash types, the functions
are implemented in general forms in the ip_set_ahash.h header file
and the real functions are generated before compiling by macro expansion.
Thus the dereferencing of low-level functions and void pointer arguments
could be avoided: the low-level functions are inlined, the function
arguments are pointers of type-specific structures.

The module implements the bitmap:ip,mac set type in two flavours,
without and with timeout support. In this kind of set one can store
IPv4 address and (source) MAC address pairs. The type supports elements
added without the MAC part filled out: when the first matching from kernel
happens, the MAC part is automatically filled out. The timing out of the
elements stars when an element is complete in the IP,MAC pair.

The module implements the bitmap:ip set type in two flavours, without
and with timeout support. In this kind of set one can store IPv4
addresses (or network addresses) from a given range.

In order not to waste memory, the timeout version does not rely on
the kernel timer for every element to be timed out but on garbage
collection. All set types use this mechanism.

Jozsef Kadlecsik a7b4f989a6 netfilter: ipset: IP set core support
The patch adds the IP set core support to the kernel.

The IP set core implements a netlink (nfnetlink) based protocol by which
one can create, destroy, flush, rename, swap, list, save, restore sets,
and add, delete, test elements from userspace. For simplicity (and backward
compatibilty and for not to force ip(6)tables to be linked with a netlink
library) reasons a small getsockopt-based protocol is also kept in order
to communicate with the ip(6)tables match and target.

The netlink protocol passes all u16, etc values in network order with
NLA_F_NET_BYTEORDER flag. The protocol enforces the proper use of the
NLA_F_NESTED and NLA_F_NET_BYTEORDER flags.

For other kernel subsystems (netfilter match and target) the API contains
the functions to add, delete and test elements in sets and the required calls
to get/put refereces to the sets before those operations can be performed.

The set types (which are implemented in independent modules) are stored
in a simple RCU protected list. A set type may have variants: for example
without timeout or with timeout support, for IPv4 or for IPv6. The sets
(i.e. the pointers to the sets) are stored in an array. The sets are
identified by their index in the array, which makes possible easy and
fast swapping of sets. The array is protected indirectly by the nfnl
mutex from nfnetlink. The content of the sets are protected by the rwlock
of the set.

There are functional differences between the add/del/test functions
for the kernel and userspace:

- kernel add/del/test: works on the current packet (i.e. one element)
- kernel test: may trigger an "add" operation  in order to fill
  out unspecified parts of the element from the packet (like MAC address)
- userspace add/del: works on the netlink message and thus possibly
  on multiple elements from the IPSET_ATTR_ADT container attribute.
- userspace add: may trigger resizing of a set

Jan Engelhardt ad86e1f27a netfilter: xt_connlimit: pick right dstaddr in NAT scenario
xt_connlimit normally records the "original" tuples in a hashlist
(such as "1.2.3.4 -> 5.6.7.8"), and looks in this list for iph->daddr
when counting.

When the user however uses DNAT in PREROUTING, looking for
iph->daddr -- which is now 192.168.9.10 -- will not match. Thus in
daddr mode, we need to record the reverse direction tuple
("192.168.9.10 -> 1.2.3.4") instead. In the reverse tuple, the dst
addr is on the src side, which is convenient, as count_them still uses
&conn->tuple.src.u3.

Florian Westphal 28a51ba59a netfilter: do not omit re-route check on NF_QUEUE verdict
ret != NF_QUEUE only works in the "--queue-num 0" case; for
queues > 0 the test should be '(ret & NF_VERDICT_MASK) != NF_QUEUE'.

However, NF_QUEUE no longer DROPs the skb unconditionally if queueing
fails (due to NF_VERDICT_FLAG_QUEUE_BYPASS verdict flag), so the
re-route test should also be performed if this flag is set in the
verdict.

The full test would then look something like

&& ((ret & NF_VERDICT_MASK) == NF_QUEUE && (ret & NF_VERDICT_FLAG_QUEUE_BYPASS))

This is rather ugly, so just remove the NF_QUEUE test altogether.

The only effect is that we might perform an unnecessary route lookup
in the NF_QUEUE case.

ip6table_mangle did not have such a check.

Here the count/offset pairing give the queue alignment and the
prio_tc_map gives the mapping from skb->priority to tc.

The hw bit determines if the hardware should configure the count
and offset values. If the hardware bit is set then the operation
will fail if the hardware does not implement the ndo_setup_tc
operation. This is to avoid undetermined states where the hardware
may or may not control the queue mapping. Also minimal bounds
checking is done on the count/offset to verify a queue does not
exceed num_tx_queues and that queue ranges do not overlap. Otherwise
it is left to user policy or hardware configuration to create
useful mappings.

It is expected that hardware QOS schemes can be implemented by
creating appropriate mappings of queues in ndo_tc_setup().

One expected use case is drivers will use the ndo_setup_tc to map
queue ranges onto 802.1Q traffic classes. This provides a generic
mechanism to map network traffic onto these traffic classes and
removes the need for lower layer drivers to know specifics about
traffic types.

John Fastabend 4f57c087de net: implement mechanism for HW based QOS
This patch provides a mechanism for lower layer devices to
steer traffic using skb->priority to tx queues. This allows
for hardware based QOS schemes to use the default qdisc without
incurring the penalties related to global state and the qdisc
lock. While reliably receiving skbs on the correct tx ring
to avoid head of line blocking resulting from shuffling in
the LLD. Finally, all the goodness from txq caching and xps/rps
can still be leveraged.

Many drivers and hardware exist with the ability to implement
QOS schemes in the hardware but currently these drivers tend
to rely on firmware to reroute specific traffic, a driver
specific select_queue or the queue_mapping action in the
qdisc.

By using select_queue for this drivers need to be updated for
each and every traffic type and we lose the goodness of much
of the upstream work. Firmware solutions are inherently
inflexible. And finally if admins are expected to build a
qdisc and filter rules to steer traffic this requires knowledge
of how the hardware is currently configured. The number of tx
queues and the queue offsets may change depending on resources.
Also this approach incurs all the overhead of a qdisc with filters.

With the mechanism in this patch users can set skb priority using
expected methods ie setsockopt() or the stack can set the priority
directly. Then the skb will be steered to the correct tx queues
aligned with hardware QOS traffic classes. In the normal case with
single traffic class and all queues in this class everything
works as is until the LLD enables multiple tcs.

To steer the skb we mask out the lower 4 bits of the priority
and allow the hardware to configure upto 15 distinct classes
of traffic. This is expected to be sufficient for most applications
at any rate it is more then the 8021Q spec designates and is
equal to the number of prio bands currently implemented in
the default qdisc.

This in conjunction with a userspace application such as
lldpad can be used to implement 8021Q transmission selection
algorithms one of these algorithms being the extended transmission
selection algorithm currently being used for DCB.

Vlad Dogaru cbda10fa97 net_device: add support for network device groups
Net devices can now be grouped, enabling simpler manipulation from
userspace. This patch adds a group field to the net_device structure, as
well as rtnetlink support to query and modify it.
