commit 255d0dc34068a976 (netfilter: x_table: speedup compat operations) made ebtables not working anymore. 1) xt_compat_calc_jump() is not an exact match lookup 2) compat_table_info() has a typo in xt_compat_init_offsets() call 3) compat_do_replace() misses a xt_compat_init_offsets() call Reported-by: dann frazier <dannf@dannf.org> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2011-04-04netfilter: get rid of atomic ops in fast pathEric Dumazet
We currently use a percpu spinlock to 'protect' rule bytes/packets counters, after various attempts to use RCU instead. Lately we added a seqlock so that get_counters() can run without blocking BH or 'writers'. But we really only need the seqcount in it. Spinlock itself is only locked by the current/owner cpu, so we can remove it completely. This cleanups api, using correct 'writer' vs 'reader' semantic. At replace time, the get_counters() call makes sure all cpus are done using the old table.

As Stephen correctly points out, we need to return -ENOENT in xt_find_match()/xt_find_target() after the patch "netfilter: x_tables: misuse of try_then_request_module" in order to properly indicate a non-existant module to the caller. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
2011-03-09netfilter: x_tables: misuse of try_then_request_moduleStephen Hemminger
Since xt_find_match() returns ERR_PTR(xx) on error not NULL, the macro try_then_request_module won't work correctly here. The macro expects its first argument will be zero if condition fails. But ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) is not zero. The correct solution is to propagate the error value back. Found by inspection, and compile tested only.

2011-01-13netfilter: x_table: speedup compat operationsEric Dumazet
One iptables invocation with 135000 rules takes 35 seconds of cpu time on a recent server, using a 32bit distro and a 64bit kernel. We eventually trigger NMI/RCU watchdog. INFO: rcu_sched_state detected stall on CPU 3 (t=6000 jiffies) COMPAT mode has quadratic behavior and consume 16 bytes of memory per rule. Switch the xt_compat algos to use an array instead of list, and use a binary search to locate an offset in the sorted array. This halves memory need (8 bytes per rule), and removes quadratic behavior [ O(N*N) -> O(N*log2(N)) ] Time of iptables goes from 35 s to 150 ms.

2011-01-10netfilter: x_tables: dont block BH while reading countersEric Dumazet
Using "iptables -L" with a lot of rules have a too big BH latency. Jesper mentioned ~6 ms and worried of frame drops. Switch to a per_cpu seqlock scheme, so that taking a snapshot of counters doesnt need to block BH (for this cpu, but also other cpus). This adds two increments on seqlock sequence per ipt_do_table() call, its a reasonable cost for allowing "iptables -L" not block BH processing.

In xt_register_table, xt_jumpstack_alloc is called first, later xt_replace_table is used. But in xt_replace_table, xt_jumpstack_alloc will be used again.

2010-04-19netfilter: xtables: make ip_tables reentrantJan Engelhardt
Currently, the table traverser stores return addresses in the ruleset itself (struct ip6t_entry->comefrom). This has a well-known drawback: the jumpstack is overwritten on reentry, making it necessary for targets to return absolute verdicts. Also, the ruleset (which might be heavy memory-wise) needs to be replicated for each CPU that can possibly invoke ip6t_do_table. This patch decouples the jumpstack from struct ip6t_entry and instead puts it into xt_table_info. Not being restricted by 'comefrom' anymore, we can set up a stack as needed. By default, there is room allocated for two entries into the traverser. arp_tables is not touched though, because there is just one/two modules and further patches seek to collapse the table traverser anyhow.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

with 32 bit userland and 64 bit kernels, it is unlikely but possible that insertion of new rules fails even tough there are only about 2000 iptables rules. This happens because the compat delta is using a short int. Easily reproducible via "iptables -m limit" ; after about 2050 rules inserting new ones fails with -ELOOP.

2009-04-28netfilter: revised locking for x_tablesStephen Hemminger
The x_tables are organized with a table structure and a per-cpu copies of the counters and rules. On older kernels there was a reader/writer lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of the necessary RCU grace period. This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.

2009-02-20netfilter: iptables: lock free countersStephen Hemminger
The reader/writer lock in ip_tables is acquired in the critical path of processing packets and is one of the reasons just loading iptables can cause a 20% performance loss. The rwlock serves two functions: 1) it prevents changes to table state (xt_replace) while table is in use. This is now handled by doing rcu on the xt_table. When table is replaced, the new table(s) are put in and the old one table(s) are freed after RCU period. 2) it provides synchronization when accesing the counter values. This is now handled by swapping in new table_info entries for each cpu then summing the old values, and putting the result back onto one cpu. On a busy system it may cause sampling to occur at different times on each cpu, but no packet/byte counts are lost in the process.
