Petr Machata de1d1ee3e3 nexthop: Rename artifacts related to legacy multipath nexthop groups
After resilient next-hop groups have been added recently, there are two
types of multipath next-hop groups: the legacy "mpath", and the new
"resilient". Calling the legacy next-hop group type "mpath" is unfortunate,
because that describes the fact that a packet could be forwarded in one of
several paths, which is also true for the resilient next-hop groups.

Therefore, to make the naming clearer, rename various artifacts to reflect
the assumptions made. Therefore as of this patch:

- The flag for multipath groups is nh_grp_entry::is_multipath. This
  includes the legacy and resilient groups, as well as any future group
  types that behave as multipath groups.
  Functions that assume this have "mpath" in the name.

- The flag for legacy multipath groups is nh_grp_entry::hash_threshold.
  Functions that assume this have "hthr" in the name.

- The flag for resilient groups is nh_grp_entry::resilient.
  Functions that assume this have "res" in the name.

Besides the above, struct nh_grp_entry::mpath was renamed to ::hthr as
well.

UAPI artifacts were obviously left intact.

Ido Schimmel cfc15c1dbb nexthop: Allow reporting activity of nexthop buckets
The kernel periodically checks the idle time of nexthop buckets to
determine if they are idle and can be re-populated with a new nexthop.

When the resilient nexthop group is offloaded to hardware, the kernel
will not see activity on nexthop buckets unless it is reported from
hardware.

Add a function that can be periodically called by device drivers to
report activity on nexthop buckets after querying it from the underlying
device.

Petr Machata 283a72a559 nexthop: Add implementation of resilient next-hop groups
At this moment, there is only one type of next-hop group: an mpath group,
which implements the hash-threshold algorithm.

To select a next hop, hash-threshold algorithm first assigns a range of
hashes to each next hop in the group, and then selects the next hop by
comparing the SKB hash with the individual ranges. When a next hop is
removed from the group, the ranges are recomputed, which leads to
reassignment of parts of hash space from one next hop to another. While
there will usually be some overlap between the previous and the new
distribution, some traffic flows change the next hop that they resolve to.
That causes problems e.g. as established TCP connections are reset, because
the traffic is forwarded to a server that is not familiar with the
connection.

Resilient hashing is a technique to address the above problem. Resilient
next-hop group has another layer of indirection between the group itself
and its constituent next hops: a hash table. The selection algorithm uses a
straightforward modulo operation to choose a hash bucket, and then reads
the next hop that this bucket contains, and forwards traffic there.

This indirection brings an important feature. In the hash-threshold
algorithm, the range of hashes associated with a next hop must be
continuous. With a hash table, mapping between the hash table buckets and
the individual next hops is arbitrary. Therefore when a next hop is deleted
the buckets that held it are simply reassigned to other next hops. When
weights of next hops in a group are altered, it may be possible to choose a
subset of buckets that are currently not used for forwarding traffic, and
use those to satisfy the new next-hop distribution demands, keeping the
"busy" buckets intact. This way, established flows are ideally kept being
forwarded to the same endpoints through the same paths as before the
next-hop group change.

In a nutshell, the algorithm works as follows. Each next hop has a number
of buckets that it wants to have, according to its weight and the number of
buckets in the hash table. In case of an event that might cause bucket
allocation change, the numbers for individual next hops are updated,
similarly to how ranges are updated for mpath group next hops. Following
that, a new "upkeep" algorithm runs, and for idle buckets that belong to a
next hop that is currently occupying more buckets than it wants (it is
"overweight"), it migrates the buckets to one of the next hops that has
fewer buckets than it wants (it is "underweight"). If, after this, there
are still underweight next hops, another upkeep run is scheduled to a
future time.

Chances are there are not enough "idle" buckets to satisfy the new demands.
The algorithm has knobs to select both what it means for a bucket to be
idle, and for whether and when to forcefully migrate buckets if there keeps
being an insufficient number of idle buckets.

There are three users of the resilient data structures.

- The forwarding code accesses them under RCU, and does not modify them
  except for updating the time a selected bucket was last used.

- Netlink code, running under RTNL, which may modify the data.

- The delayed upkeep code, which may modify the data. This runs unlocked,
  and mutual exclusion between the RTNL code and the delayed upkeep is
  maintained by canceling the delayed work synchronously before the RTNL
  code touches anything. Later it restarts the delayed work if necessary.

The RTNL code has to implement next-hop group replacement, next hop
removal, etc. For removal, the mpath code uses a neat trick of having a
backup next hop group structure, doing the necessary changes offline, and
then RCU-swapping them in. However, the hash tables for resilient hashing
are about an order of magnitude larger than the groups themselves (the size
might be e.g. 4K entries), and it was felt that keeping two of them is an
overkill. Both the primary next-hop group and the spare therefore use the
same resilient table, and writers are careful to keep all references valid
for the forwarding code. The hash table references next-hop group entries
from the next-hop group that is currently in the primary role (i.e. not
spare). During the transition from primary to spare, the table references a
mix of both the primary group and the spare. When a next hop is deleted,
the corresponding buckets are not set to NULL, but instead marked as empty,
so that the pointer is valid and can be used by the forwarding code. The
buckets are then migrated to a new next-hop group entry during upkeep. The
only times that the hash table is invalid is the very beginning and very
end of its lifetime. Between those points, it is always kept valid.

This patch introduces the core support code itself. It does not handle
notifications towards drivers, which are kept as if the group were an mpath
one. It does not handle netlink either. The only bit currently exposed to
user space is the new next-hop group type, and that is currently bounced.
There is therefore no way to actually access this code.

Petr Machata 90e1a9e213 nexthop: Add a dedicated flag for multipath next-hop groups
With the introduction of resilient nexthop groups, there will be two types
of multipath groups: the current hash-threshold "mpath" ones, and resilient
groups. Both are multipath, but to determine the fact, the system needs to
consider two flags. This might prove costly in the datapath. Therefore,
introduce a new flag, that should be set for next-hop groups that have more
than one nexthop, and should be considered multipath.

Wei Wang 28259bac7f ipv6: fix suspecious RCU usage warning
Syzbot reported the suspecious RCU usage in nexthop_fib6_nh() when
called from ipv6_route_seq_show(). The reason is ipv6_route_seq_start()
calls rcu_read_lock_bh(), while nexthop_fib6_nh() calls
rcu_dereference_rtnl().
The fix proposed is to add a variant of nexthop_fib6_nh() to use
rcu_dereference_bh_rtnl() for ipv6_route_seq_show().

The reported trace is as follows:

Ido Schimmel 732d167bf5 nexthop: Emit a notification when a nexthop is added
Emit a notification in the nexthop notification chain when a new nexthop
is added (not replaced). The nexthop can either be a new group or a
single nexthop.

The notification is sent after the nexthop is inserted into the
red-black tree, as listeners might need to callback into the nexthop
code with the nexthop ID in order to mark the nexthop as offloaded.

A 'REPLACE' notification is emitted instead of 'ADD' as the distinction
between the two is not important for in-kernel listeners. In case the
listener is not familiar with the encoded nexthop ID, it can simply
treat it as a new one. This is also consistent with the route offload
API.

Add data structures that will be used for nexthop replace and delete

New data structures are added instead of passing the existing nexthop

First, the existing structures encode a lot of bookkeeping information
which is irrelevant for listeners of the notification chain.

Second, the existing structures can be changed without worrying about
introducing regressions in listeners since they are not accessed
directly by them.

Third, listeners of the notification chain do not need to each parse the
relatively complex nexthop code structures. They are passing the
required information in a simplified way.

Note that a single 'has_encap' bit is added instead of the actual
encapsulation information since current listeners do not support such

Gustavo A. R. Silva 97a888c2ff net: nexthop: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

fib_dump_info incorrectly has nhs = 0 for blackhole nexthops, so it
believes the nexthop object is a multipath group (nhs != 1) and ends
up down the nexthop_mpath_fill_node() path which is wrong for a
blackhole.

The blackhole check in nexthop_num_path is leftover from early days
of the blackhole implementation which did not initialize the device.
In the end the design was simpler (fewer special case checks) to set
the device to loopback in nh_info, so the check in nexthop_num_path
should have been removed.

David Ahern f88d8ea67f ipv6: Plumb support for nexthop object in a fib6_info
Add struct nexthop and nh_list list_head to fib6_info. nh_list is the
fib6_info side of the nexthop <-> fib_info relationship. Since a fib6_info
referencing a nexthop object can not have 'sibling' entries (the old way
of doing multipath routes), the nh_list is a union with fib6_siblings.

Add f6i_list list_head to 'struct nexthop' to track fib6_info entries
using a nexthop instance. Update __remove_nexthop_fib to walk f6_list
and delete fib entries using the nexthop.

Add a few nexthop helpers for use when a nexthop is added to fib6_info:
- nexthop_fib6_nh - return first fib6_nh in a nexthop object
- fib6_info_nh_dev moved to nexthop.h and updated to use nexthop_fib6_nh
  if the fib6_info references a nexthop object
- nexthop_path_fib6_result - similar to ipv4, select a path within a
  multipath nexthop object. If the nexthop is a blackhole, set
  fib6_result type to RTN_BLACKHOLE, and set the REJECT flag

Update the fib6_info references to check for nh and take a different path
as needed:
- rt6_qualify_for_ecmp - if a fib entry uses a nexthop object it can NOT
  be coalesced with other fib entries into a multipath route
- rt6_duplicate_nexthop - use nexthop_cmp if either fib6_info references
  a nexthop
- addrconf (host routes), RA's and info entries (anything configured via
  ndisc) does not use nexthop objects
- fib6_info_destroy_rcu - put reference to nexthop object
- fib6_purge_rt - drop fib6_info from f6i_list
- fib6_select_path - update to use the new nexthop_path_fib6_result when
  fib entry uses a nexthop object
- rt6_device_match - update to catch use of nexthop object as a blackhole
  and set fib6_type and flags.
- ip6_route_info_create - don't add space for fib6_nh if fib entry is
  going to reference a nexthop object, take a reference to nexthop object,
  disallow use of source routing
- rt6_nlmsg_size - add space for RTA_NH_ID
- add rt6_fill_node_nexthop to add nexthop data on a dump

As with ipv4, most of the changes push existing code into the else branch
of whether the fib entry uses a nexthop object.

Update the nexthop code to walk f6i_list on a nexthop deleted to remove
fib entries referencing it.

using a nexthop instance. Add __remove_nexthop_fib and add it to
__remove_nexthop to walk the new list_head and mark those fib entries
as dead when the nexthop is deleted.

Add a few nexthop helpers for use when a nexthop is added to fib_info:
- nexthop_cmp to determine if 2 nexthops are the same
- nexthop_path_fib_result to select a path for a multipath
  'struct nexthop'
- nexthop_fib_nhc to select a specific fib_nh_common within a
  multipath 'struct nexthop'

Update existing fib_info_nhc to use nexthop_fib_nhc if a fib_info uses
a 'struct nexthop', and mark fib_info_nh as only used for the non-nexthop
case.

Update the fib_info functions to check for fi->nh and take a different
path as needed:
- free_fib_info_rcu - put the nexthop object reference
- fib_release_info - remove the fib_info from the nexthop's fi_list
- nh_comp - use nexthop_cmp when either fib_info references a nexthop
  object
- fib_info_hashfn - use the nexthop id for the hashing vs the oif of
  each fib_nh in a fib_info
- fib_nlmsg_size - add space for the RTA_NH_ID attribute
- fib_create_info - verify nexthop reference can be taken, verify
  nexthop spec is valid for fib entry, and add fib_info to fi_list for
  a nexthop
- fib_select_multipath - use the new nexthop_path_fib_result to select a
  path when nexthop objects are used
- fib_table_lookup - if the 'struct nexthop' is a blackhole nexthop, treat
  it the same as a fib entry using 'blackhole'

The bulk of the changes are in fib_semantics.c and most of that is
moving the existing change_nexthops into an else branch.

Update the nexthop code to walk fi_list on a nexthop deleted to remove
fib entries referencing it.

David Ahern 5481d73f81 ipv4: Use accessors for fib_info nexthop data
Use helpers to access fib_nh and fib_nhs fields of a fib_info. Drop the
fib_dev macro which is an alias for the first nexthop. Replacements:

  fi->fib_dev    --> fib_info_nh(fi, 0)->fib_nh_dev
  fi->fib_nh     --> fib_info_nh(fi, 0)
  fi->fib_nh[i]  --> fib_info_nh(fi, i)
  fi->fib_nhs    --> fib_info_num_path(fi)

where fib_info_nh(fi, i) returns fi->fib_nh[nhsel] and fib_info_num_path
returns fi->fib_nhs.

Move the existing fib_info_nhc to nexthop.h and define the new ones
there. A later patch adds a check if a fib_info uses a nexthop object,
and defining the helpers in nexthop.h avoid circular header
dependencies.

After this all remaining open coded references to fi->fib_nhs and
fi->fib_nh are in:
- fib_create_info and helpers used to lookup an existing fib_info
  entry, and
- the netdev event functions fib_sync_down_dev and fib_sync_up.

The latter two will not be reused for nexthops, and the fib_create_info
will be updated to handle a nexthop in a fib_info.

David Ahern 430a049190 nexthop: Add support for nexthop groups

objects to create multipath routes:

                      +--------------+
   +------------+   +--------------+ |
   | nh  nh_grp --->| nh_grp_entry |-+
   +------------+   +---------|----+
     ^                |       |    +------------+
     +----------------+       +--->| nh, weight |
        nh_parent                  +------------+

A group entry points to a nexthop with a weight for that hop within the
group. The nexthop has a list_head, grp_list, for tracking which groups
it is a member of and the group entry has a reference back to the parent.
The grp_list is used when a nexthop is deleted - to efficiently remove
it from groups using it.

If a nexthop group spec is given, no other attributes can be set. Each
nexthop id in a group spec must already exist.

Similar to single nexthops, the specification of a nexthop group can be
updated so that data is managed with rcu locking.

Add path selection function to account for multiple paths and add
ipv{4,6}_good_nh helpers to know that if a neighbor entry exists it is
in a good state.

Update NETDEV event handling to rebalance multipath nexthop groups if
a nexthop is deleted due to a link event (down or unregister).

When a nexthop is removed any groups using it are updated. Groups using a
nexthop a tracked via a grp_list.

Nexthop dumps can be limited to groups only by adding NHA_GROUPS to the
request.

Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Thomas Graf 4e902c5741 [IPv4]: FIB configuration using struct fib_config
Introduces struct fib_config replacing the ugly struct kern_rta
prone to ordering issues. Avoids creating faked netlink messages
for auto generated routes or requests via ioctl.

A new interface net/nexthop.h is added to help navigate through
nexthop configuration arrays.

A new struct nl_info will be used to carry the necessary netlink
information to be used for notifications later on.
