[PATCH v3 1/7] net: Introduce skb tc depth field to track packet loops

[PATCH v3 1/7] net: Introduce skb tc depth field to track packet loops

[Stephen Hemminger]

From: Jamal Hadi Salim <jhs@mojatatu.com>

Add a 2-bit per-skb tc depth field to track packet loops across the stack.

The previous per-CPU loop counters like MIRRED_NEST_LIMIT
assume a single call stack and lose state in two cases:
1) When a packet is queued and reprocessed later (e.g., egress->ingress
   via backlog), the per-cpu state is gone by the time it is dequeued.
2) With XPS/RPS a packet may arrive on one CPU and be processed on
   another.

A per-skb field solves both by travelling with the packet itself.

The field fits in existing padding, using 2 bits that were previously a
hole:

pahole before(-) and after (+) diff looks like:
   __u8       slow_gro:1;           /*   132: 3  1 */
   __u8       csum_not_inet:1;      /*   132: 4  1 */
   __u8       unreadable:1;         /*   132: 5  1 */
 + __u8       tc_depth:2;           /*   132: 6  1 */

 - /* XXX 2 bits hole, try to pack */
   /* XXX 1 byte hole, try to pack */

   __u16      tc_index;             /*   134     2 */

There used to be a ttl field which was removed as part of tc_verd in commit
aec745e2c520 ("net-tc: remove unused tc_verd fields").  It was already
unused by that time, due to remove earlier in commit c19ae86a510c ("tc: remove
unused redirect ttl").

The first user of this field is netem, which increments tc_depth on
duplicated packets before re-enqueueing them at the root qdisc.  On
re-entry, netem skips duplication for any skb with tc_depth already set,
bounding recursion to a single level regardless of tree topology.

The other user is mirred which increments it on each pass
and limits to depth to MIRRED_DEFER_LIMIT (3).

The new field was called ttl in earlier versions of this patch
but renamed to tc_depth to avoid confusion with IP ttl.

[PATCH v3 2/7] net/sched: Revert "net/sched: Restrict conditions for adding duplicating netems to qdisc tree"

[Stephen Hemminger]

From: Jamal Hadi Salim <jhs@mojatatu.com>

This reverts commit ec8e0e3d7adef940cdf9475e2352c0680189d14e.

The original patch rejects any tree containing two netems when
either has duplication set, even when they sit on unrelated classes
of the same classful parent. That broke configurations that have
worked since netem was introduced.

The re-entrancy problem the original commit was trying to solve is
handled by later patch using tc_depth flag.

Doing this revert will (re)expose the original bug with multiple
netem duplication. When this patch is backported make sure
and get the full series.

[PATCH v3 4/7] net/sched: fix packet loop on netem when duplicate is on

[Stephen Hemminger]

From: Jamal Hadi Salim <jhs@mojatatu.com>

When netem duplicates a packet it re-enqueues the copy at the root qdisc.
If another netem sits in the tree the copy can be duplicated
again, recursing until the stack or memory is exhausted.

The original duplication guard temporarily zeroed q->duplicate around
the re-enqueue, but that does not cover all cases because it is
per-qdisc state shared across all concurrent enqueue paths
and is not safe without additional locking.

Use the skb tc_depth field introduced in an earlier patch:
 - increment it on the duplicate before re-enqueue
 - skip duplication for any skb whose tc_depth is already non-zero.

This marks the packet itself rather than mutating qdisc state,
therefore it is safe regardless of tree topology or concurrency.

[PATCH v3 5/7] net/sched: Fix ethx:ingress -> ethy:egress -> ethx:ingress mirred loop

[Stephen Hemminger]

From: Jamal Hadi Salim <jhs@mojatatu.com>

When mirred redirects to ingress (from either ingress or egress) the loop
state from sched_mirred_dev array dev is lost because of 1) the packet
deferral into the backlog and 2) the fact the sched_mirred_dev array is
cleared. In such cases, if there was a loop we won't discover it.

Here's a simple test to reproduce:
ip a add dev port0 10.10.10.11/24

tc qdisc add dev port0 clsact
tc filter add dev port0 egress protocol ip \
   prio 10 matchall action mirred ingress redirect dev port1

tc qdisc add dev port1 clsact
tc filter add dev port1 ingress protocol ip \
   prio 10 matchall action mirred egress redirect dev port0

ping -c 1 -W0.01 10.10.10.10

[PATCH v3 6/7] selftests/tc-testing: Add mirred test cases exercising loops

[Stephen Hemminger]

From: Victor Nogueira <victor@mojatatu.com>

Add mirred loop test cases to validate that those will be caught and other
test cases that were previously misinterpreted as loops by mirred.

This commit adds 12 test cases:

- Redirect multiport: dummy egress -> dev1 ingress -> dummy egress (Loop)
- Redirect singleport: dev1 ingress -> dev1 egress -> dev1 ingress (Loop)
- Redirect multiport: dev1 ingress -> dummy ingress -> dev1 egress (No Loop)
- Redirect multiport: dev1 ingress -> dummy ingress -> dev1 ingress (Loop)
- Redirect multiport: dev1 ingress -> dummy egress -> dev1 ingress (Loop)
- Redirect multiport: dummy egress -> dev1 ingress -> dummy egress, different prios (Loop)
- Redirect multiport: dev1 ingress -> dummy ingress -> dummy egress -> dev1 egress (No Loop)
- Redirect multiport: dev1 ingress -> dummy egress -> dev1 egress (No Loop)
- Redirect multiport: dev1 ingress -> dummy egress -> dummy ingress (No Loop)
- Redirect singleport: dev1 ingress -> dev1 ingress (Loop)
- Redirect singleport: dummy egress -> dummy ingress (No Loop)
- Redirect multiport: dev1 ingress -> dummy ingress -> dummy egress (No Loop)

Apparently the new test does not pass on NIPA:

# not ok 364 8c17 - Test netem's recursive duplicate
# Value doesn't match: bytes: 294 != 196
# Matching against output: {'kind': 'netem', 'handle': '1:', 'root':
True, 'refcnt': 2, 'options': {'limit': 1, 'duplicate': {'duplicate': 1,
'correlation': 0}, 'seed': 6495514880116664183, 'ecn': False, 'gap': 0},
'bytes': 196, 'packets': 2, 'drops': 1, 'overlimits': 0, 'requeues': 0,
'backlog': 0, 'qlen': 0}

It's not clear to me if the causes is this series or the follow-up. I'm
tentatively dropping the latter from PW; let's see how/if TDC is impacted.

We should hold on to Stephen's two patches until the skb bits one goes
in and settles.
Stephen's patches change the queue expectation which explains the
accounting mismatch. Stephen run the tdc tests and fix any changes in
the accounting...
