If packet headers changed, the cached nfct is no longer relevant
for the packet and attempt to re-use it leads to the incorrect packet
classification.
This issue is causing broken connectivity in OpenStack deployments
with OVS/OVN due to hairpin traffic being unexpectedly dropped.
The setup has datapath flows with several conntrack actions and tuple
changes between them:
actions:ct(commit,zone=8,mark=0/0x1,nat(src)),
set(eth(src=00:00:00:00:00:01,dst=00:00:00:00:00:06)),
set(ipv4(src=172.18.2.10,dst=192.168.100.6,ttl=62)),
ct(zone=8),recirc(0x4)
After the first ct() action the packet headers are almost fully
re-written. The next ct() tries to re-use the existing nfct entry
and marks the packet as invalid, so it gets dropped later in the
pipeline.
Clearing the cached conntrack entry whenever packet tuple is changed
to avoid the issue.
The flow key should not be cleared though, because we should still
be able to match on the ct_state if the recirculation happens after
the tuple change but before the next ct() action.

Given a sufficiently large number of actions, while copying and
reserving memory for a new action of a new flow, if next_offset is
greater than MAX_ACTIONS_BUFSIZE, the function reserve_sfa_size() does
not return -EMSGSIZE as expected, but it allocates MAX_ACTIONS_BUFSIZE
bytes increasing actions_len by req_size. This can then lead to an OOB
write access, especially when further actions need to be copied.
Fix it by rearranging the flow action size check.

While parsing user-provided actions, openvswitch module may dynamically
allocate memory and store pointers in the internal copy of the actions.
So this memory has to be freed while destroying the actions.
Currently there are only two such actions: ct() and set(). However,
there are many actions that can hold nested lists of actions and
ovs_nla_free_flow_actions() just jumps over them leaking the memory.
For example, removal of the flow with the following actions will lead
to a leak of the memory allocated by nf_ct_tmpl_alloc():
actions:clone(ct(commit),0)
Non-freed set() action may also leak the 'dst' structure for the
tunnel info including device references.
Under certain conditions with a high rate of flow rotation that may
cause significant memory leak problem (2MB per second in reporter's
case). The problem is also hard to mitigate, because the user doesn't
have direct control over the datapath flows generated by OVS.
Fix that by iterating over all the nested actions and freeing
everything that needs to be freed recursively.
New build time assertion should protect us from this problem if new
actions will be added in the future.
Unfortunately, openvswitch module doesn't use NLA_F_NESTED, so all
attributes has to be explicitly checked. sample() and clone() actions
are mixing extra attributes into the user-provided action list. That
prevents some code generalization too.

'OVS_CLONE_ATTR_EXEC' is an internal attribute that is used for
performance optimization inside the kernel. It's added by the kernel
while parsing user-provided actions and should not be sent during the
flow dump as it's not part of the uAPI.
The issue doesn't cause any significant problems to the ovs-vswitchd
process, because reported actions are not really used in the
application lifecycle and only supposed to be shown to a human via
ovs-dpctl flow dump. However, the action list is still incorrect
and causes the following error if the user wants to look at the
datapath flows:
# ovs-dpctl add-dp system@ovs-system
# ovs-dpctl add-flow "<flow match>" "clone(ct(commit),0)"

<flow match>, packets:0, bytes:0, used:never,

When hitting the recirculation limit, the kernel would currently log
something like this:
[ 58.586597] openvswitch: ovs-system: deferred action limit reached, drop recirc action
Which isn't all that useful to debug as we only have the interface name
to go on but can't track it down to a specific flow.
With this change, we now instead get:
[ 58.586597] openvswitch: ovs-system: deferred action limit reached, drop recirc action (recirc_id=0x9e)
Which can now be correlated with the flow entries from OVS.

During NAT, a tuple collision may occur. When this happens, openvswitch
will make a second pass through NAT which will perform additional packet
modification. This will update the skb data, but not the flow key that
OVS uses. This means that future flow lookups, and packet matches will
have incorrect data. This has been supported since
5d50aa83e2 ("openvswitch: support asymmetric conntrack").
That commit failed to properly update the sw_flow_key attributes, since
it only called the ovs_ct_nat_update_key once, rather than each time
ovs_ct_nat_execute was called. As these two operations are linked, the
ovs_ct_nat_execute() function should always make sure that the
sw_flow_key is updated after a successful call through NAT infrastructure.

Few years ago OVS user space made a strange choice in the commit [1]
to define types only valid for the user space inside the copy of a
kernel uAPI header. '#ifndef __KERNEL__' and another attribute was
added later.
This leads to the inevitable clash between user space and kernel types
when the kernel uAPI is extended. The issue was unveiled with the
addition of a new type for IPv6 extension header in kernel uAPI.
When kernel provides the OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV6_EXTHDRS attribute to the
older user space application, application tries to parse it as
OVS_KEY_ATTR_PACKET_TYPE and discards the whole netlink message as
malformed. Since OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV6_EXTHDRS is supplied along with
every IPv6 packet that goes to the user space, IPv6 support is fully
broken.
Fixing that by bringing these user space attributes to the kernel
uAPI to avoid the clash. Strictly speaking this is not the problem
of the kernel uAPI, but changing it is the only way to avoid breakage
of the older user space applications at this point.
These 2 types are explicitly rejected now since they should not be
passed to the kernel. Additionally, OVS_KEY_ATTR_TUNNEL_INFO moved
out from the '#ifdef __KERNEL__' as there is no good reason to hide
it from the userspace. And it's also explicitly rejected now, because
it's for in-kernel use only.
Comments with warnings were added to avoid the problem coming back.
(1 << type) converted to (1ULL << type) to avoid integer overflow on
OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV6_EXTHDRS, since it equals 32 now.

Right now, skb->tstamp is reset to 0 whenever the skb is forwarded.
If skb->tstamp has the mono delivery_time, clearing it can hurt

The earlier patch added a skb->mono_delivery_time bit to
flag the skb->tstamp carrying the mono delivery_time.
This patch adds skb_clear_tstamp() helper which keeps

Netfilter conntrack maintains NAT flags per connection indicating
whether NAT was configured for the connection. Openvswitch maintains
NAT flags on the per packet flow key ct_state field, indicating
whether NAT was actually executed on the packet.
When a packet misses from tc to ovs the conntrack NAT flags are set.
However, NAT was not necessarily executed on the packet because the
connection's state might still be in NEW state. As such, openvswitch
wrongly assumes that NAT was executed and sets an incorrect flow key
NAT flags.
Fix this, by flagging to openvswitch which NAT was actually done in
act_ct via tc_skb_ext and tc_skb_cb to the openvswitch module, so
the packet flow key NAT flags will be correctly set.

refcount_t api provides more runtime sanity checks and will warn on
certain constructs, e.g. refcount_inc() on a zero reference count, which
usually indicates use-after-free.
For this reason template allocation is changed to init the refcount to
1, the subsequenct add operations are removed.
Likewise, init_conntrack() is changed to set the initial refcount to 1
instead refcount_inc().
This is safe because the new entry is not (yet) visible to other cpus.

The advantage of this change is that it can reduce the obsolete

since it has already included mm.h. Similarly, after checking all the
other files, it comes that tcp.c, udp.c meter.c ,... follow the same
rule, so these files can have swap.h removed too.
Moreover, after preprocessing all the files that use
nr_free_buffer_pages, it turns out that those files have already
included mm.h.Thus, we can move nr_free_buffer_pages from swap.h to mm.h
safely. This change will not affect the compilation of other files.

The Open vSwitch kernel module uses the upcall mechanism to send
packets from kernel space to user space when it misses in the kernel
space flow table. The upcall sends packets via a Netlink socket.
Currently, a Netlink socket is created for every vport. In this way,
there is a 1:1 mapping between a vport and a Netlink socket.
When a packet is received by a vport, if it needs to be sent to
user space, it is sent via the corresponding Netlink socket.
This mechanism, with various iterations of the corresponding user
space code, has seen some limitations and issues:
* On systems with a large number of vports, there is a correspondingly
large number of Netlink sockets which can limit scaling.
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1526306)
* Packet reordering on upcalls.
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1844576)
* A thundering herd issue.
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1834444)
This patch introduces an alternative, feature-negotiated, upcall
mode using a per-cpu dispatch rather than a per-vport dispatch.
In this mode, the Netlink socket to be used for the upcall is
selected based on the CPU of the thread that is executing the upcall.
In this way, it resolves the issues above as:
a) The number of Netlink sockets scales with the number of CPUs
rather than the number of vports.
b) Ordering per-flow is maintained as packets are distributed to
CPUs based on mechanisms such as RSS and flows are distributed
to a single user space thread.
c) Packets from a flow can only wake up one user space thread.

In the current implement when comparing two flow keys, we will return
result after comparing the whole key from start to end.
In our optimization, we will return result in the first none-zero
comparison, then we will improve the flow table looking up efficiency.

This makes openvswitch module use the event tracing framework
to log the upcall interface and action execution pipeline. When
using openvswitch as the packet forwarding engine, some types of
debugging are made possible simply by using the ovs-vswitchd's
ofproto/trace command. However, such a command has some
limitations:
1. When trying to trace packets that go through the CT action,
the state of the packet can't be determined, and probably
would be potentially wrong.
2. Deducing problem packets can sometimes be difficult as well
even if many of the flows are known
3. It's possible to use the openvswitch module even without
the ovs-vswitchd (although, not common use).
Introduce the event tracing points here to make it possible for
working through these problems in kernel space. The style is
copied from the mac80211 driver-trace / trace code for
consistency - this creates some checkpatch splats, but the
official 'guide' for adding tracepoints, as well as the existing
examples all add the same splats so it seems acceptable.

We have observed meters working unexpected if traffic is 3+Gbit/s
with multiple connections.
now_ms is not pretected by meter->lock, we may get a negative
long_delta_ms when another cpu updated meter->used, then:
delta_ms = (u32)long_delta_ms;
which will be a large value.
band->bucket += delta_ms * band->rate;
then we get a wrong band->bucket.
OpenVswitch userspace datapath has fixed the same issue[1] some
time ago, and we port the implementation to kernel datapath.

Implementation of meters supposed to be a classic token bucket with 2
typical parameters: rate and burst size.
Burst size in this schema is the maximum number of bytes/packets that
could pass without being rate limited.
Recent changes to userspace datapath made meter implementation to be
in line with the kernel one, and this uncovered several issues.
The main problem is that maximum bucket size for unknown reason
accounts not only burst size, but also the numerical value of rate.
This creates a lot of confusion around behavior of meters.
For example, if rate is configured as 1000 pps and burst size set to 1,
this should mean that meter will tolerate bursts of 1 packet at most,
i.e. not a single packet above the rate should pass the meter.
However, current implementation calculates maximum bucket size as
(rate + burst size), so the effective bucket size will be 1001. This
means that first 1000 packets will not be rate limited and average
rate might be twice as high as the configured rate. This also makes
it practically impossible to configure meter that will have burst size
lower than the rate, which might be a desirable configuration if the
rate is high.
Inability to configure low values of a burst size and overall inability
for a user to predict what will be a maximum and average rate from the
configured parameters of a meter without looking at the OVS and kernel
code might be also classified as a security issue, because drop meters
are frequently used as a way of protection from DoS attacks.
This change removes rate from the calculation of a bucket size, making
it in line with the classic token bucket algorithm and essentially
making the rate and burst tolerance being predictable from a users'
perspective.
Same change proposed for the userspace implementation.

'struct ovs_zone_limit' has more members than initialized in

Fix that by using designated initializer that will clear all

It is not unusual to have the bridge port down. Sometimes
it has the old MTU, which is fine since it's not being used.
However, the kernel spams the log with a warning message
when a packet is going to be sent over such port. Fix that
by warning only if the interface is UP.
