The initial value of err is -ENOBUFS, and err is guaranteed to be
less than 0 before all goto errout. Therefore, on the error path
of errout, there is no need to repeatedly judge that err is less than 0,
and delete redundant judgments to make the code more concise.

When a new IPv4 address is assigned via ioctl(SIOCSIFADDR),
inet_set_ifa() sets ifa->ifa_dev if it's different from in_dev
passed as an argument.
In this case, ifa is always a newly allocated object, and
ifa->ifa_dev is NULL.
inet_set_ifa() can be called for an existing reused ifa, then,
this check is always false.
Let's set ifa_dev in inet_alloc_ifa() and remove the check
in inet_set_ifa().
Now, inet_alloc_ifa() is symmetric with inet_rcu_free_ifa().

Jaroslav reports Dell's OMSA Systems Management Data Engine
expects NLM_DONE in a separate recvmsg(), both for rtnl_dump_ifinfo()
and inet_dump_ifaddr(). We already added a similar fix previously in
commit 460b0d33cf ("inet: bring NLM_DONE out to a separate recv() again")
Instead of modifying all the dump handlers, and making them look
different than modern for_each_netdev_dump()-based dump handlers -
put the workaround in rtnetlink code. This will also help us move
the custom rtnl-locking from af_netlink in the future (in net-next).
Note that this change is not touching rtnl_dump_all(). rtnl_dump_all()
is different kettle of fish and a potential problem. We now mix families
in a single recvmsg(), but NLM_DONE is not coalesced.
Tested:
./cli.py --dbg-small-recv 4096 --spec netlink/specs/rt_addr.yaml \
--dump getaddr --json '{"ifa-family": 2}'
./cli.py --dbg-small-recv 4096 --spec netlink/specs/rt_route.yaml \
--dump getroute --json '{"rtm-family": 2}'

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)
* Remove sentinel element from ctl_table structs.
* Remove the zeroing out of an array element (to make it look like a
sentinel) in sysctl_route_net_init And ipv6_route_sysctl_init.
This is not longer needed and is safe after commit c899710fe7
("networking: Update to register_net_sysctl_sz") added the array size
to the ctl_table registration.
* Remove extra sentinel element in the declaration of devinet_vars.
* Removed the "-1" in __devinet_sysctl_register, sysctl_route_net_init,
ipv6_sysctl_net_init and ipv4_sysctl_init_net that adjusted for having
an extra empty element when looping over ctl_table arrays
* Replace the for loop stop condition in __addrconf_sysctl_register that
tests for procname == NULL with one that depends on array size
* Removing the unprivileged user check in ipv6_route_sysctl_init is
safe as it is replaced by calling ipv6_route_sysctl_table_size;
introduced in commit c899710fe7 ("networking: Update to
register_net_sysctl_sz")

Long ago we set out to remove the kitchen sink on kernel/sysctl.c arrays and
placings sysctls to their own sybsystem or file to help avoid merge conflicts.
Matthew Wilcox pointed out though that if we're going to do that we might as
well also *save* space while at it and try to remove the extra last sysctl
entry added at the end of each array, a sentintel, instead of bloating the
kernel by adding a new sentinel with each array moved.
Doing that was not so trivial, and has required slowing down the moves of
kernel/sysctl.c arrays and measuring the impact on size by each new move.
The complex part of the effort to help reduce the size of each sysctl is being
done by the patient work of el señor Don Joel Granados. A lot of this is truly
painful code refactoring and testing and then trying to measure the savings of
each move and removing the sentinels. Although Joel already has code which does
most of this work, experience with sysctl moves in the past shows is we need to
be careful due to the slew of odd build failures that are possible due to the
amount of random Kconfig options sysctls use.
To that end Joel's work is split by first addressing the major housekeeping
needed to remove the sentinels, which is part of this merge request. The rest
of the work to actually remove the sentinels will be done later in future
kernel releases.
At first I was only going to send his first 7 patches of his patch series,
posted 1 month ago, but in retrospect due to the testing the changes have
received in linux-next and the minor changes they make this goes with the
entire set of patches Joel had planned: just sysctl house keeping. There are
networking changes but these are part of the house keeping too.
The preliminary math is showing this will all help reduce the overall build
time size of the kernel and run time memory consumed by the kernel by about
~64 bytes per array where we are able to remove each sentinel in the future.
That also means there is no more bloating the kernel with the extra ~64 bytes
per array moved as no new sentinels are created.
Most of this has been in linux-next for about a month, the last 7 patches took
a minor refresh 2 week ago based on feedback.

Move from register_net_sysctl to register_net_sysctl_sz for all the
networking related files. Do this while making sure to mirror the NULL
assignments with a table_size of zero for the unprivileged users.
We need to move to the new function in preparation for when we change
SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE() in the register_net_sysctl macro. Failing to do
so would erroneously allow ARRAY_SIZE() to be called on a pointer. We
hold off the SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE change until we have migrated all
the relevant net sysctl registering functions to register_net_sysctl_sz
in subsequent commits.
An additional size function was added to the following files in order to
calculate the size of an array that is defined in another file:
include/net/ipv6.h
net/ipv6/icmp.c
net/ipv6/route.c

When IP address protocol field was added in commit 47f0bd5032 ("net: Add
new protocol attribute to IP addresses"), the semantics included the
ability to change the protocol for IPv6 addresses, but not for IPv4
addresses. It seems this was not deliberate, but rather by accident.
A userspace that wants to change the protocol of an address might drop and
recreate the address, but that disrupts routing and is just impractical.
So in this patch, when an IPv4 address is replaced (through RTM_NEWADDR
request with NLM_F_REPLACE flag), update the proto at the address to the
one given in the request, or zero if none is given. This matches the
behavior of IPv6. Previously, any new value given was simply ignored.

Currently, the inetdev_destroy() function waits for an RCU grace period
before decrementing the refcount and freeing memory. This causes a delay
with a new RCU configuration that tries to save power, which results in the
network interface disappearing later than expected. The resulting delay
causes test failures on ChromeOS.
Refactor the code such that the refcount is freed before the grace period
and memory is freed after. With this a ChromeOS network test passes that
does 'ip netns del' and polls for an interface disappearing, now passes.

Netdev reference helpers have a dev_ prefix for historic
reasons. Renaming the old helpers would be too much churn
but we can rename the tracking ones which are relatively
recent and should be the default for new code.
Rename:
dev_hold_track() -> netdev_hold()
dev_put_track() -> netdev_put()
dev_replace_track() -> netdev_ref_replace()

random32.c has two random number generators in it: one that is meant to
be used deterministically, with some predefined seed, and one that does
the same exact thing as random.c, except does it poorly. The first one
has some use cases. The second one no longer does and can be replaced
with calls to random.c's proper random number generator.
The relatively recent siphash-based bad random32.c code was added in
response to concerns that the prior random32.c was too deterministic.
Out of fears that random.c was (at the time) too slow, this code was
anonymously contributed. Then out of that emerged a kind of shadow
entropy gathering system, with its own tentacles throughout various net
code, added willy nilly.
Stop👏making👏bespoke👏random👏number👏generators👏.
Fortunately, recent advances in random.c mean that we can stop playing
with this sketchiness, and just use get_random_u32(), which is now fast
enough. In micro benchmarks using RDPMC, I'm seeing the same median
cycle count between the two functions, with the mean being _slightly_
higher due to batches refilling (which we can optimize further need be).
However, when doing *real* benchmarks of the net functions that actually
use these random numbers, the mean cycles actually *decreased* slightly
(with the median still staying the same), likely because the additional
prandom code means icache misses and complexity, whereas random.c is
generally already being used by something else nearby.
The biggest benefit of this is that there are many users of prandom who
probably should be using cryptographically secure random numbers. This
makes all of those accidental cases become secure by just flipping a
switch. Later on, we can do a tree-wide cleanup to remove the static
inline wrapper functions that this commit adds.
There are also some low-ish hanging fruits for making this even faster
in the future: a get_random_u16() function for use in the networking
stack will give a 2x performance boost there, using SIMD for ChaCha20
will let us compute 4 or 8 or 16 blocks of output in parallel, instead
of just one, giving us large buffers for cheap, and introducing a
get_random_*_bh() function that assumes irqs are already disabled will
shave off a few cycles for ordinary calls. These are things we can chip
away at down the road.

Creating a new netdevice allocates at least ~50Kb of memory for various
kernel objects, but only ~5Kb of them are accounted to memcg. As a result,
creating an unlimited number of netdevice inside a memcg-limited container
does not fall within memcg restrictions, consumes a significant part
of the host's memory, can cause global OOM and lead to random kills of
host processes.
The main consumers of non-accounted memory are:
~10Kb 80+ kernfs nodes
~6Kb ipv6_add_dev() allocations
6Kb __register_sysctl_table() allocations
4Kb neigh_sysctl_register() allocations
4Kb __devinet_sysctl_register() allocations
4Kb __addrconf_sysctl_register() allocations
Accounting of these objects allows to increase the share of memcg-related
memory up to 60-70% (~38Kb accounted vs ~54Kb total for dummy netdevice
on typical VM with default Fedora 35 kernel) and this should be enough
to somehow protect the host from misuse inside container.
Other related objects are quite small and may not be taken into account
to minimize the expected performance degradation.
It should be separately mentonied ~300 bytes of percpu allocation
of struct ipstats_mib in snmp6_alloc_dev(), on huge multi-cpu nodes
it can become the main consumer of memory.
This patch does not enables kernfs accounting as it affects
other parts of the kernel and should be discussed separately.
However, even without kernfs, this patch significantly improves the
current situation and allows to take into account more than half
of all netdevice allocations.

This patch adds a new protocol attribute to IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Inspiration was taken from the protocol attribute of routes. User space
applications like iproute2 can set/get the protocol with the Netlink API.
The attribute is stored as an 8-bit unsigned integer.
The protocol attribute is set by kernel for these categories:
- IPv4 and IPv6 loopback addresses
- IPv6 addresses generated from router announcements
- IPv6 link local addresses
User space may pass custom protocols, not defined by the kernel.
Grouping addresses on their origin is useful in scenarios where you want
to distinguish between addresses based on who added them, e.g. kernel
vs. user space.
Tagging addresses with a string label is an existing feature that could be
used as a solution. Unfortunately the max length of a label is
15 characters, and for compatibility reasons the label must be prefixed
with the name of the device followed by a colon. Since device names also
have a max length of 15 characters, only -1 characters is guaranteed to be
available for any origin tag, which is not that much.
A reference implementation of user space setting and getting protocols
is available for iproute2:

This change introduces a new sysctl parameter, arp_evict_nocarrier.
When set (default) the ARP cache will be cleared on a NOCARRIER event.
This new option has been defaulted to '1' which maintains existing
behavior.
Clearing the ARP cache on NOCARRIER is relatively new, introduced by:
commit 859bd2ef1f
Author: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com>
Date: Thu Oct 11 20:33:49 2018 -0700
net: Evict neighbor entries on carrier down
The reason for this changes is to prevent the ARP cache from being
cleared when a wireless device roams. Specifically for wireless roams
the ARP cache should not be cleared because the underlying network has not
changed. Clearing the ARP cache in this case can introduce significant
delays sending out packets after a roam.
A user reported such a situation here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/CACsRnHWa47zpx3D1oDq9JYnZWniS8yBwW1h0WAVZ6vrbwL_S0w@mail.gmail.com/
After some investigation it was found that the kernel was holding onto
packets until ARP finished which resulted in this 1 second delay. It
was also found that the first ARP who-has was never responded to,
which is actually what caues the delay. This change is more or less
working around this behavior, but again, there is no reason to clear
the cache on a roam anyways.
As for the unanswered who-has, we know the packet made it OTA since
it was seen while monitoring. Why it never received a response is
unknown. In any case, since this is a problem on the AP side of things
all that can be done is to work around it until it is solved.
Some background on testing/reproducing the packet delay:
Hardware:
- 2 access points configured for Fast BSS Transition (Though I don't
see why regular reassociation wouldn't have the same behavior)
- Wireless station running IWD as supplicant
- A device on network able to respond to pings (I used one of the APs)
Procedure:
- Connect to first AP
- Ping once to establish an ARP entry
- Start a tcpdump
- Roam to second AP
- Wait for operstate UP event, and note the timestamp
- Start pinging
Results:
Below is the tcpdump after UP. It was recorded the interface went UP at

You can see the first ARP who-has went out very quickly after UP, but
was never responded to. Nearly a second later the kernel retries and
gets a response. Only then do the ping packets go out. If an ARP entry
is manually added prior to UP (after the cache is cleared) it is seen
that the first ping is never responded to, so its not only an issue with
ARP but with data packets in general.
As mentioned prior, the wireless interface was also monitored to verify
the ping/ARP packet made it OTA which was observed to be true.

Since dynamic registration of the gifconf() helper is only used for
IPv4, and this can not be in a loadable module, this can be simplified
noticeably by turning it into a direct function call as a preparation
for cleaning up the compat handling.

Root in init user namespace can modify /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
without CAP_NET_ADMIN, this doesn't follow the principle of
capabilities. For example, let's take a look at netdev_store(),
root can't modify netdev attribute without CAP_NET_ADMIN.
So let's keep the consistency of permission check logic.

An netadmin inside container can use 'ip a a' and 'ip r a'
to assign a large number of ipv4/ipv6 addresses and routing entries
and force kernel to allocate megabytes of unaccounted memory
for long-lived per-netdevice related kernel objects:
'struct in_ifaddr', 'struct inet6_ifaddr', 'struct fib6_node',
'struct rt6_info', 'struct fib_rules' and ip_fib caches.
These objects can be manually removed, though usually they lives
in memory till destroy of its net namespace.
It makes sense to account for them to restrict the host's memory
consumption from inside the memcg-limited container.
One of such objects is the 'struct fib6_node' mostly allocated in
net/ipv6/route.c::__ip6_ins_rt() inside the lock_bh()/unlock_bh() section:
write_lock_bh(&table->tb6_lock);
err = fib6_add(&table->tb6_root, rt, info, mxc);
write_unlock_bh(&table->tb6_lock);
In this case it is not enough to simply add SLAB_ACCOUNT to corresponding
kmem cache. The proper memory cgroup still cannot be found due to the
incorrect 'in_interrupt()' check used in memcg_kmem_bypass().
Obsoleted in_interrupt() does not describe real execution context properly.
>From include/linux/preempt.h:
The following macros are deprecated and should not be used in new code:
in_interrupt() - We're in NMI,IRQ,SoftIRQ context or have BH disabled
To verify the current execution context new macro should be used instead:
in_task() - We're in task context

When we call af_ops->set_link_af() we hold a RCU read lock
as we retrieve af_ops from the RCU protected list, but this
is unnecessary because we already hold RTNL lock, which is
the writer lock for protecting rtnl_af_ops, so it is safer
than RCU read lock. Similar for af_ops->validate_link_af().
This was not a problem until we begin to take mutex lock
down the path of ->set_link_af() in __ipv6_dev_mc_dec()
recently. We can just drop the RCU read lock there and
assert RTNL lock.
