There have been many people complaining about the inconsistent
behaviors of IPv4 and IPv6 devconf when creating new network
namespaces. Currently, for IPv4, we inherit all current settings
from init_net, but for IPv6 we reset all setting to default.
This patch introduces a new /proc file
/proc/sys/net/core/devconf_inherit_init_net to control the
behavior of whether to inhert sysctl current settings from init_net.
This file itself is only available in init_net.
As demonstrated below:
Initial setup in init_net:
# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter
2
# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_dad
1
Default value 0 (current behavior):
# ip netns del test
# ip netns add test
# ip netns exec test cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter
2
# ip netns exec test cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_dad
0
Set to 1 (inherit from init_net):
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/core/devconf_inherit_init_net
# ip netns del test
# ip netns add test
# ip netns exec test cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter
2
# ip netns exec test cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_dad
1
Set to 2 (reset to default):
# echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/core/devconf_inherit_init_net
# ip netns del test
# ip netns add test
# ip netns exec test cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter
0
# ip netns exec test cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_dad
0
Set to a value out of range (invalid):
# echo 3 > /proc/sys/net/core/devconf_inherit_init_net
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# echo -1 > /proc/sys/net/core/devconf_inherit_init_net
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

This commit fixes a regression in AF_INET/RTM_GETADDR and
AF_INET6/RTM_GETADDR.
Before this commit, the kernel would stop dumping addresses once the first
skb was full and end the stream with NLMSG_DONE(-EMSGSIZE). The error
shouldn't be sent back to netlink_dump so the callback is kept alive. The
userspace is expected to call back with a new empty skb.
Changes from V1:
- The error is not handled in netlink_dump anymore but rather in
inet_dump_ifaddr and inet6_dump_addr directly as suggested by
David Ahern.

In order to pass extack together with NETDEV_PRE_UP notifications, it's
necessary to route the extack to __dev_open() from diverse (possibly
indirect) callers. One prominent API through which the notification is
invoked is dev_change_flags().
Therefore extend dev_change_flags() with and extra extack argument and
update all users. Most of the calls end up just encoding NULL, but
several sites (VLAN, ipvlan, VRF, rtnetlink) do have extack available.
Since the function declaration line is changed anyway, name the other
function arguments to placate checkpatch.

- Backwards Compatibility:
If userspace wants to determine whether ipv4 RTM_GETADDR requests
support the new IFA_TARGET_NETNSID property it should verify that the
reply includes the IFA_TARGET_NETNSID property. If it does not
userspace should assume that IFA_TARGET_NETNSID is not supported for
ipv4 RTM_GETADDR requests on this kernel.
- From what I gather from current userspace tools that make use of
RTM_GETADDR requests some of them pass down struct ifinfomsg when they
should actually pass down struct ifaddrmsg. To not break existing
tools that pass down the wrong struct we will do the same as for
RTM_GETLINK | NLM_F_DUMP requests and not error out when the
nlmsg_parse() fails.

This patch implements the feature described in rfc1812#section-5.3.5.2
and rfc2644. It allows the router to forward directed broadcast when
sysctl bc_forwarding is enabled.
Note that this feature could be done by iptables -j TEE, but it would
cause some problems:
- target TEE's gateway param has to be set with a specific address,
and it's not flexible especially when the route wants forward all
directed broadcasts.
- this duplicates the directed broadcasts so this may cause side
effects to applications.
Besides, to keep consistent with other os router like BSD, it's also
necessary to implement it in the route rx path.
Note that route cache needs to be flushed when bc_forwarding is

Only two of dev_ioctl() callers may pass SIOCGIFCONF to it.
Separating that codepath from the rest of dev_ioctl() allows both
to simplify dev_ioctl() itself (all other cases work with struct ifreq *)
*and* seriously simplify the compat side of that beast: all it takes
is passing to inet_gifconf() an extra argument - the size of individual
records (sizeof(struct ifreq) or sizeof(struct compat_ifreq)). With
dev_ifconf() called directly from sock_do_ioctl()/compat_dev_ifconf()
that's easy to arrange.
As the result, compat side of SIOCGIFCONF doesn't need any
allocations, copy_in_user() back and forth, etc.

Since commit 1dced6a854 ("ipv4: Restore accept_local behaviour
in fib_validate_source()") a full fib lookup is needed even if
the rp_filter is disabled, if accept_local is false - which is
the default.
What we really need in the above scenario is just checking
that the source IP address is not local, and in most case we
can do that is a cheaper way looking up the ifaddr hash table.
This commit adds a helper for such lookup, and uses it to
validate the src address when rp_filter is disabled and no
'local' routes are created by the user space in the relevant
namespace.
A new ipv4 netns flag is added to account for such routes.
We need that to preserve the same behavior we had before this
patch.
It also drops the checks to bail early from __fib_validate_source,
added by the commit 1dced6a854 ("ipv4: Restore accept_local
behaviour in fib_validate_source()") they do not give any
measurable performance improvement: if we do the lookup with are
on a slower path.
This improves UDP performances for unconnected sockets
when rp_filter is disabled by 5% and also gives small but
measurable performance improvement for TCP flood scenarios.
v1 -> v2:
- use the ifaddr lookup helper in __ip_dev_find(), as suggested
by Eric
- fall-back to full lookup if custom local routes are present

The ipvlan code already knows how to detect when a duplicate address is
about to be assigned to an ipvlan device. However, that failure is not
propogated outward and leads to a silent failure.
Introduce a validation step at ip address creation time and allow device
drivers to register to validate the incoming ip addresses. The ipvlan
code is the first consumer. If it detects an address in use, we can
return an error to the user before beginning to commit the new ifa in
the networking code.
This can be especially useful if it is necessary to provision many
ipvlans in containers. The provisioning software (or operator) can use
this to detect situations where an ip address is unexpectedly in use.

David Lamparter noted a use case where the source address selection fails
to pick an address from a VRF interface - unnumbered interfaces.
Relevant commands from his script:
ip addr add 9.9.9.9/32 dev lo
ip link set lo up
ip link add name vrf0 type vrf table 101
ip rule add oif vrf0 table 101
ip rule add iif vrf0 table 101
ip link set vrf0 up
ip addr add 10.0.0.3/32 dev vrf0
ip link add name dummy2 type dummy
ip link set dummy2 master vrf0 up
--> note dummy2 has no address - unnumbered device
ip route add 10.2.2.2/32 dev dummy2 table 101
ip neigh add 10.2.2.2 dev dummy2 lladdr 02:00:00:00:00:02
tcpdump -ni dummy2 &
And using ping instead of his socat example:
$ ping -I vrf0 -c1 10.2.2.2
ping: Warning: source address might be selected on device other than vrf0.
PING 10.2.2.2 (10.2.2.2) from 9.9.9.9 vrf0: 56(84) bytes of data.
>From tcpdump:
12:57:29.449128 IP 9.9.9.9 > 10.2.2.2: ICMP echo request, id 2491, seq 1, length 64
Note the source address is from lo and is not a VRF local address. With
this patch:
$ ping -I vrf0 -c1 10.2.2.2
PING 10.2.2.2 (10.2.2.2) from 10.0.0.3 vrf0: 56(84) bytes of data.
>From tcpdump:
12:59:25.096426 IP 10.0.0.3 > 10.2.2.2: ICMP echo request, id 2113, seq 1, length 64
Now the source address comes from vrf0.
The ipv4 function for selecting source address takes a const argument.
Removing the const requires touching a lot of places, so instead
l3mdev_master_ifindex_rcu is changed to take a const argument and then
do the typecast to non-const as required by netdev_master_upper_dev_get_rcu.
This is similar to what l3mdev_fib_table_rcu does.
IPv6 for unnumbered interfaces appears to be selecting the addresses
properly.

The over-estimation is significant when at least one netdev has many
VLANs configured (8 bytes for each configured VLAN).
This patch-set "rightsizes" the protocol specific attribute size
calculation by propagating ext_filter_mask to rtnl_link_get_af_size()
and adding this a argument to get_link_af_size op in rtnl_af_ops.
Bridge module already used filtering aware sizing for notifications.
br_get_link_af_size_filtered() is consistent with the modified
get_link_af_size op so it replaces br_get_link_af_size() in br_af_ops.
br_get_link_af_size() becomes unused and thus removed.

Many commonly used functions like getifaddrs() invoke RTM_GETLINK
to dump the interface information, and do not need the
the AF_INET6 statististics that are always returned by default
from rtnl_fill_ifinfo().
Computing the statistics can be an expensive operation that impacts
scaling, so it is desirable to avoid this if the information is
not needed.
This patch adds a the RTEXT_FILTER_SKIP_STATS extended info flag that
can be passed with netlink_request() to avoid statistics computation
for the ifinfo path.

This notification causes the FIB to be updated, which is not needed
because the address already exists, and more importantly it may undo
intentional changes that were made to the FIB after the address was
originally added. (As a point of comparison, when an address becomes
deprecated because its preferred lifetime expired, a notification on
this chain is not generated.)
The motivation for this commit is fixing an incompatibility between
DHCP clients which set and update the address lifetime according to
the lease, and a commercial VPN client which replaces kernel routes
in a way that outbound traffic is sent only through the tunnel (and
disconnects if any further route changes are detected via netlink).
