ee9a8f7ab2 ipv4: Don't report stale pmtu values to userspace
We report cached pmtu values even if they are already expired.
Change this to not report these values after they are expired
and fix a race in the expire time calculation, as suggested by
Eric Dumazet.

7f92d334ba ipv4: Don't create nh exeption when the device mtu is smaller than the reported pmtu
When a local tool like tracepath tries to send packets bigger than
the device mtu, we create a nh exeption and set the pmtu to device
mtu. The device mtu does not expire, so check if the device mtu is
smaller than the reported pmtu and don't crerate a nh exeption in
that case.

d851c12b60 ipv4: Always invalidate or update the route on pmtu events
Some protocols, like IPsec still cache routes. So we need to invalidate
the old route on pmtu events to avoid the reuse of stale routes.
We also need to update the mtu and expire time of the route if we already
use a nh exception route, otherwise we ignore newly learned pmtu values
after the first expiration.

With this patch we always invalidate or update the route on pmtu events.

It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a

I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to

98d75c3724 ipv4: Minor logic clean-up in ipv4_mtu
In ipv4_mtu there is some logic where we are testing for a non-zero value
and a timer expiration, then setting the value to zero, and then testing if
the value is zero we set it to a value based on the dst.  Instead of
bothering with the extra steps it is easier to just cleanup the logic so
that we set it to the dst based value if it is zero or if the timer has

9b04f35005 ipv4: properly update pmtu
Sylvain Munault reported following info :

 - TCP connection get "stuck" with data in send queue when doing
   "large" transfers ( like typing 'ps ax' on a ssh connection )
 - Only happens on path where the PMTU is lower than the MTU of
   the interface
 - Is not present right after boot, it only appears 10-20min after
   boot or so. (and that's inside the _same_ TCP connection, it works
   fine at first and then in the same ssh session, it'll get stuck)
 - Definitely seems related to fragments somehow since I see a router
   sending ICMP message saying fragmentation is needed.
 - Exact same setup works fine with kernel 3.5.1

Problem happens when the 10 minutes (ip_rt_mtu_expires) expiration
period is over.

ip_rt_update_pmtu() calls dst_set_expires() to rearm a new expiration,
but dst_set_expires() does nothing because dst.expires is already set.

It seems we want to set the expires field to a new value, regardless
of prior one.

7bd86cc282 ipv4: Cache local output routes
Commit caacf05e5a causes big drop of UDP loop back performance.
The cause of the regression is that we do not cache the local output
routes. Each time we send a datagram from unconnected UDP socket,
the kernel allocates a dst_entry and adds it to the rt_uncached_list.
It creates lock contention on the rt_uncached_lock.

54764bb647 ipv4: Restore old dst_free() behavior.
commit 404e0a8b6a (net: ipv4: fix RCU races on dst refcounts) tried
to solve a race but added a problem at device/fib dismantle time :

We really want to call dst_free() as soon as possible, even if sockets
still have dst in their cache.
dst_release() calls in free_fib_info_rcu() are not welcomed.

Root of the problem was that now we also cache output routes (in
nh_rth_output), we must use call_rcu() instead of call_rcu_bh() in
rt_free(), because output route lookups are done in process context.

Based on feedback and initial patch from David Miller (adding another
call_rcu_bh() call in fib, but it appears it was not the right fix)

I left the inet_sk_rx_dst_set() helper and added __rcu attributes
to nh_rth_output and nh_rth_input to better document what is going on in
this code.

404e0a8b6a net: ipv4: fix RCU races on dst refcounts
commit c6cffba4ff (ipv4: Fix input route performance regression.)
added various fatal races with dst refcounts.

crashes happen on tcp workloads if routes are added/deleted at the same
time.

The dst_free() calls from free_fib_info_rcu() are clearly racy.

We need instead regular dst refcounting (dst_release()) and make
sure dst_release() is aware of RCU grace periods :

Add DST_RCU_FREE flag so that dst_release() respects an RCU grace period
before dst destruction for cached dst

Introduce a new inet_sk_rx_dst_set() helper, using atomic_inc_not_zero()
to make sure we dont increase a zero refcount (On a dst currently
waiting an rcu grace period before destruction)

rt_cache_route() must take a reference on the new cached route, and
release it if was not able to install it.

With this patch, my machines survive various benchmarks.

Use inet_iif() consistently, and for TCP record the input interface of

rt->rt_iif is going to be encoded differently, so that we can
legitimately cache input routes in the FIB info more aggressively.

When the input interface is "use SKB device index" the rt->rt_iif will
be set to zero.

This forces us to move the TCP RX dst cache installation into the ipv4
specific code, and as well it should since doing the route caching for
ipv6 is pointless at the moment since it is not inspected in the ipv6
input paths yet.

Also, remove the unlikely on dst->obsolete, all ipv4 dsts have

callback.

It's not really needed.

We only grabbed a reference to the fib_info for the sake of fib_info

However, fib_info objects are freed using RCU, as are therefore their
private metrics (if any).

We would have triggered a route cache flush if we eliminated a
reference to a fib_info object in the routing tables.

Therefore, any existing cached routes will first check and see that
they have been invalidated before an errant reference to these
metric values would occur.

f2bb4bedf3 ipv4: Cache output routes in fib_info nexthops.
If we have an output route that lacks nexthop exceptions, we can cache
it in the FIB info nexthop.

Such routes will have DST_HOST cleared because such routes refer to a
family of destinations, rather than just one.

The sequence of the handling of exceptions during route lookup is
adjusted to make the logic work properly.

Before we allocate the route, we lookup the exception.

Then we know if we will cache this route or not, and therefore whether
DST_HOST should be set on the allocated route.

Then we use DST_HOST to key off whether we should store the resulting
route, during rt_set_nexthop(), in the FIB nexthop cache.

f5b0a87436 net: Document dst->obsolete better.
Add a big comment explaining how the field works, and use defines
instead of magic constants for the values assigned to it.

Suggested by Joe Perches.

f8126f1d51 ipv4: Adjust semantics of rt->rt_gateway.
In order to allow prefixed routes, we have to adjust how rt_gateway
is set and interpreted.

The new interpretation is:

1) rt_gateway == 0, destination is on-link, nexthop is iph->daddr

2) rt_gateway != 0, destination requires a nexthop gateway

Abstract the fetching of the proper nexthop value using a new
inline helper, rt_nexthop(), as suggested by Joe Perches.

1a00fee4ff ipv4: Remove rt_key_{src,dst,tos} from struct rtable.
They are always used in contexts where they can be reconstituted,
or where the finally resolved rt->rt_{src,dst} is semantically
equivalent.

38a424e465 ipv4: Kill ip_route_input_noref().
The "noref" argument to ip_route_input_common() is now always ignored
because we do not cache routes, and in that case we must always grab
a reference to the resulting 'dst'.

89aef8921b ipv4: Delete routing cache.
The ipv4 routing cache is non-deterministic, performance wise, and is
subject to reasonably easy to launch denial of service attacks.

The routing cache works great for well behaved traffic, and the world
was a much friendlier place when the tradeoffs that led to the routing
cache's design were considered.

What it boils down to is that the performance of the routing cache is
a product of the traffic patterns seen by a system rather than being a
product of the contents of the routing tables.  The former of which is
controllable by external entitites.

Even for "well behaved" legitimate traffic, high volume sites can see
hit rates in the routing cache of only ~%10.

aee06da672 ipv4: use seqlock for nh_exceptions
Use global seqlock for the nh_exceptions. Call
fnhe_oldest with the right hash chain. Correct the diff
value for dst_set_expires.

v2: after suggestions from Eric Dumazet:
* get rid of spin lock fnhe_lock, rearrange update_or_create_fnhe
* continue daddr search in rt_bind_exception

v3:
* remove the daddr check before seqlock in rt_bind_exception
* restart lookup in rt_bind_exception on detected seqlock change,
as suggested by David Miller
