David S. Miller 1018b5c016 ipv4: Set rt->rt_iif more sanely on output routes.
rt->rt_iif is only ever inspected on input routes, for example DCCP
uses this to populate a route lookup flow key when generating replies
to another packet.

Therefore, setting it to anything other than zero on output routes
makes no sense.

David S. Miller 44713b67db ipv4: Optimize flow initialization in output route lookup.
We burn a lot of useless cycles, cpu store buffer traffic, and
memory operations memset()'ing the on-stack flow used to perform
output route lookups in __ip_route_output_key().

Only the first half of the flow object members even matter for
output route lookups in this context, specifically:

FIB rules matching cares about:

	dst, src, tos, iif, oif, mark

FIB trie lookup cares about:

	dst

FIB semantic match cares about:

	tos, scope, oif

Therefore only initialize these specific members and elide the
memset entirely.

On Niagara2 this kills about ~300 cycles from the output route
lookup path.

Likely, we can take things further, since all callers of output
route lookups essentially throw away the on-stack flow they use.
So they don't care if we use it as a scratch-pad to compute the
final flow key.

David S. Miller 2c8cec5c10 ipv4: Cache learned PMTU information in inetpeer.
The general idea is that if we learn new PMTU information, we
bump the peer genid.

This triggers the dst_ops->check() code to validate and if
necessary propagate the new PMTU value into the metrics.

Learned PMTU information self-expires.

This means that it is not necessary to kill a cached route
entry just because the PMTU information is too old.

As a consequence:

1) When the path appears unreachable (dst_ops->link_failure
   or dst_ops->negative_advice) we unwind the PMTU state if
   it is out of date, instead of killing the cached route.

   A redirected route will still be invalidated in these
   situations.

2) rt_check_expire(), rt_worker_func(), et al. are no longer
   necessary at all.

David S. Miller 6431cbc25f inet: Create a mechanism for upward inetpeer propagation into routes.
If we didn't have a routing cache, we would not be able to properly
propagate certain kinds of dynamic path attributes, for example
PMTU information and redirects.

The reason is that if we didn't have a routing cache, then there would
be no way to lookup all of the active cached routes hanging off of
sockets, tunnels, IPSEC bundles, etc.

Consider the case where we created a cached route, but no inetpeer
entry existed and also we were not asked to pre-COW the route metrics
and therefore did not force the creation a new inetpeer entry.

If we later get a PMTU message, or a redirect, and store this
information in a new inetpeer entry, there is no way to teach that
cached route about the newly existing inetpeer entry.

The facilities implemented here handle this problem.

First we create a generation ID.  When we create a cached route of any
kind, we remember the generation ID at the time of attachment.  Any
time we force-create an inetpeer entry in response to new path
information, we bump that generation ID.

The dst_ops->check() callback is where the knowledge of this event
is propagated.  If the global generation ID does not equal the one
stored in the cached route, and the cached route has not attached
to an inetpeer yet, we look it up and attach if one is found.  Now
that we've updated the cached route's information, we update the
route's generation ID too.

This clears the way for implementing PMTU and redirects directly in
the inetpeer cache.  There is absolutely no need to consult cached
route information in order to maintain this information.

At this point nothing bumps the inetpeer genids, that comes in the
later changes which handle PMTUs and redirects using inetpeers.

David S. Miller 0c838ff1ad ipv4: Consolidate all default route selection implementations.
Both fib_trie and fib_hash have a local implementation of
fib_table_select_default().  This is completely unnecessary
code duplication.

Since we now remember the fib_table and the head of the fib
alias list of the default route, we can implement one single
generic version of this routine.

Looking at the fib_hash implementation you may get the impression
that it's possible for there to be multiple top-level routes in
the table for the default route.  The truth is, it isn't, the
insert code will only allow one entry to exist in the zero
prefix hash table, because all keys evaluate to zero and all
keys in a hash table must be unique.

Roland Dreier ec831ea72e net: Add default_mtu() methods to blackhole dst_ops
When an IPSEC SA is still being set up, __xfrm_lookup() will return
-EREMOTE and so ip_route_output_flow() will return a blackhole route.
This can happen in a sndmsg call, and after d33e455337 ("net: Abstract
default MTU metric calculation behind an accessor.") this leads to a
crash in ip_append_data() because the blackhole dst_ops have no
default_mtu() method and so dst_mtu() calls a NULL pointer.

Fix this by adding default_mtu() methods (that simply return 0, matching
the old behavior) to the blackhole dst_ops.

The IPv4 part of this patch fixes a crash that I saw when using an IPSEC
VPN; the IPv6 part is untested because I don't have an IPv6 VPN, but it
looks to be needed as well.

David S. Miller 62fa8a846d net: Implement read-only protection and COW'ing of metrics.
Routing metrics are now copy-on-write.

Initially a route entry points it's metrics at a read-only location.
If a routing table entry exists, it will point there.  Else it will
point at the all zero metric place-holder called 'dst_default_metrics'.

The writeability state of the metrics is stored in the low bits of the
metrics pointer, we have two bits left to spare if we want to store
more states.

For the initial implementation, COW is implemented simply via kmalloc.
However future enhancements will change this to place the writable
metrics somewhere else, in order to increase sharing.  Very likely
this "somewhere else" will be the inetpeer cache.

Note also that this means that metrics updates may transiently fail
if we cannot COW the metrics successfully.

But even by itself, this patch should decrease memory usage and
increase cache locality especially for routing workloads.  In those
cases the read-only metric copies stay in place and never get written
to.

TCP workloads where metrics get updated, and those rare cases where
PMTU triggers occur, will take a very slight performance hit.  But
that hit will be alleviated when the long-term writable metrics
move to a more sharable location.

Since the metrics storage went from a u32 array of RTAX_MAX entries to
what is essentially a pointer, some retooling of the dst_entry layout
was necessary.

Most importantly, we need to preserve the alignment of the reference
count so that it doesn't share cache lines with the read-mostly state,
as per Eric Dumazet's alignment assertion checks.

The only non-trivial bit here is the move of the 'flags' member into
the writeable cacheline.  This is OK since we are always accessing the
flags around the same moment when we made a modification to the
reference count.

Joel Sing 9fc3bbb4a7 ipv4/route.c: respect prefsrc for local routes
The preferred source address is currently ignored for local routes,
which results in all local connections having a src address that is the
same as the local dst address. Fix this by respecting the preferred source
address when it is provided for local routes.

This bug can be demonstrated as follows:

 # ifconfig dummy0 192.168.0.1
 # ip route show table local | grep local.*dummy0
 local 192.168.0.1 dev dummy0  proto kernel  scope host  src 192.168.0.1
 # ip route change table local local 192.168.0.1 dev dummy0 \

 # ip route show table local | grep local.*dummy0
 local 192.168.0.1 dev dummy0  proto kernel  scope host  src 127.0.0.1

We now establish a local connection and verify the source IP
address selection:

 # nc -l 192.168.0.1 3128 &
 # nc 192.168.0.1 3128 &
 # netstat -ant | grep 192.168.0.1:3128.*EST

so kill that off too.

Eric Dumazet 1c31720a74 ipv4: add __rcu annotations to routes.c
Add __rcu annotations to :
        (struct dst_entry)->rt_next
        (struct rt_hash_bucket)->chain

And use appropriate rcu primitives to reduce sparse warnings if
CONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER=y

Eric Dumazet 27b75c95f1 net: avoid RCU for NOCACHE dst
There is no point using RCU for dst we allocate for a very short time
(used once).

Change dst_release() to take DST_NOCACHE into account, but also change
skb_dst_set_noref() to force a refcount increment for such dst.

This is a _huge_ gain, because we dont waste memory to store xx thousand
of dsts. Instead of queueing them to RCU, we can free them instantly.

CPU caches can stay hot, re-using same memory blocks to hold temporary
dsts.

Note : remove unneeded smp_mb__before_atomic_dec(); in dst_release(),
since atomic_dec_return() implies a full memory barrier.

Stress test, 160.000.000 udp frames sent, IP route cache disabled
(DDOS).

Before:

real    0m38.091s
user    0m13.189s
sys     7m53.018s

After:

real	0m29.946s
user	0m12.157s
sys	7m40.605s

For reference, if IP route cache was enabled :

real	0m32.030s
user	0m10.521s
sys	8m15.243s

Andy Walls 27a954bd56 IPv4: route.c: Change checks against 0xffffffff to ipv4_is_lbcast()
Change a few checks against the hardcoded broadcast address,
0xffffffff, to ipv4_is_lbcast().  Remove some existing checks
using ipv4_is_lbcast() that are now obviously superfluous.

Eric Dumazet fc66f95c68 net dst: use a percpu_counter to track entries
struct dst_ops tracks number of allocated dst in an atomic_t field,
subject to high cache line contention in stress workload.

Switch to a percpu_counter, to reduce number of time we need to dirty a
central location. Place it on a separate cache line to avoid dirtying
read only fields.

Stress test :

(Sending 160.000.000 UDP frames,
IP route cache disabled, dual E5540 @2.53GHz,
32bit kernel, FIB_TRIE, SLUB/NUMA)

Before:

real    0m51.179s
user    0m15.329s
sys     10m15.942s

After:

real	0m45.570s
user	0m15.525s
sys	9m56.669s

With a small reordering of struct neighbour fields, subject of a
following patch, (to separate refcnt from other read mostly fields)

real	0m41.841s
user	0m15.261s
sys	8m45.949s
