There are a couple of places in net/sched/ that check skb->protocol and act
on the value there. However, in the presence of VLAN tags, the value stored
in skb->protocol can be inconsistent based on whether VLAN acceleration is
enabled. The commit quoted in the Fixes tag below fixed the users of
skb->protocol to use a helper that will always see the VLAN ethertype.However, most of the callers don't actually handle the VLAN ethertype, but
expect to find the IP header type in the protocol field. This means that
things like changing the ECN field, or parsing diffserv values, stops
working if there's a VLAN tag, or if there are multiple nested VLAN
tags (QinQ).To fix this, change the helper to take an argument that indicates whether
the caller wants to skip the VLAN tags or not. When skipping VLAN tags, we
make sure to skip all of them, so behaviour is consistent even in QinQ
mode.To make the helper usable from the ECN code, move it to if_vlan.h instead
of pkt_sched.h.v3:
- Remove empty lines
- Move vlan variable definitions inside loop in skb_protocol()
- Also use skb_protocol() helper in IP{,6}_ECN_decapsulate() and
bpf_skb_ecn_set_ce()v2:
- Use eth_type_vlan() helper in skb_protocol()
- Also fix code that reads skb->protocol directly
- Change a couple of 'if/else if' statements to switch constructs to avoid
calling the helper twiceReported-by: Ilya Ponetayev

A following patch introduces qevents, points in qdisc algorithm where
packet can be processed by user-defined filters. Should this processing
lead to a situation where a new packet is to be enqueued on the same port,
holding the root lock would lead to deadlocks. To solve the issue, qevent
handler needs to unlock and relock the root lock when necessary.To that end, add the root lock argument to the qdisc op enqueue, and

cake_handle_diffserv() tries to linearize mac and network header parts of
skb and to make it writable unconditionally. In some cases it leads to full
skb reallocation, which reduces throughput and increases CPU load. Some
measurements of IPv4 forward + NAPT on MIPS router with 580 MHz single-core
CPU was conducted. It appears that on kernel 4.9 skb_try_make_writable()
reallocates skb, if skb was allocated in ethernet driver via so-called
'build skb' method from page cache (it was discovered by strange increase
of kmalloc-2048 slab at first).Obtain DSCP value via read-only skb_header_pointer() call, and leave
linearization only for DSCP bleaching or ECN CE setting. And, as an
additional optimisation, skip diffserv parsing entirely if it is not needed
by the current configuration.Fixes: c87b4ecdbe8d ("sch_cake: Make sure we can write the IP header before changing DSCP bits")

While the other fq-based qdiscs take advantage of skb->hash and doesn't
recompute it if it is already set, sch_cake does not.This was a deliberate choice because sch_cake hashes various parts of the
packet header to support its advanced flow isolation modes. However,
foregoing the use of skb->hash entirely loses a few important benefits:- When skb->hash is set by hardware, a few CPU cycles can be saved by not
hashing again in software.- Tunnel encapsulations will generally preserve the value of skb->hash from
before the encapsulation, which allows flow-based qdiscs to distinguish
between flows even though the outer packet header no longer has flow
information.It turns out that we can preserve these desirable properties in many cases,
while still supporting the advanced flow isolation properties of sch_cake.
This patch does so by reusing the skb->hash value as the flow_hash part of
the hashing procedure in cake_hash() only in the following conditions:- If the skb->hash is marked as covering the flow headers (skb->l4_hash is
set)AND
- NAT header rewriting is either disabled, or did not change any values
used for hashing. The latter is important to match local-origin packets
such as those of a tunnel endpoint.The immediate motivation for fixing this was the recent patch to WireGuard
to preserve the skb->hash on encapsulation. As such, this is also what I
tested against; with this patch, added latency under load for competing
flows drops from ~8 ms to sub-1ms on an RRUL test over a WireGuard tunnel
going through a virtual link shaped to 1Gbps using sch_cake. This matches
the results we saw with a similar setup using sch_fq_codel when testing the
WireGuard patch.Fixes: 046f6fd5daef ("sched: Add Common Applications Kept Enhanced (cake) qdisc")

We currently have two levels of strict validation:
1) liberal (default)
- undefined (type >= max) & NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
- attribute length >= expected accepted
- garbage at end of message accepted
2) strict (opt-in)
- NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
- attribute length >= expected acceptedSplit out parsing strictness into four different options:
* TRAILING - check that there's no trailing data after parsing
attributes (in message or nested)
* MAXTYPE - reject attrs > max known type
* UNSPEC - reject attributes with NLA_UNSPEC policy entries
* STRICT_ATTRS - strictly validate attribute sizeThe default for future things should be *everything*.
The current *_strict() is a combination of TRAILING and MAXTYPE,
and is renamed to _deprecated_strict().
The current regular parsing has none of this, and is renamed to
*_parse_deprecated().Additionally it allows us to selectively set one of the new flags
even on old policies. Notably, the UNSPEC flag could be useful in
this case, since it can be arranged (by filling in the policy) to
not be an incompatible userspace ABI change, but would then going
forward prevent forgetting attribute entries. Similar can apply
to the POLICY flag.We end up with the following renames:
* nla_parse -> nla_parse_deprecated
* nla_parse_strict -> nla_parse_deprecated_strict
* nlmsg_parse -> nlmsg_parse_deprecated
* nlmsg_parse_strict -> nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict
* nla_parse_nested -> nla_parse_nested_deprecated
* nla_validate_nested -> nla_validate_nested_deprecatedUsing spatch, of course:

Even if the NLA_F_NESTED flag was introduced more than 11 years ago, most
netlink based interfaces (including recently added ones) are still not
setting it in kernel generated messages. Without the flag, message parsers
not aware of attribute semantics (e.g. wireshark dissector or libmnl's
mnl_nlmsg_fprintf()) cannot recognize nested attributes and won't display
the structure of their contents.Unfortunately we cannot just add the flag everywhere as there may be
userspace applications which check nlattr::nla_type directly rather than
through a helper masking out the flags. Therefore the patch renames
nla_nest_start() to nla_nest_start_noflag() and introduces nla_nest_start()
as a wrapper adding NLA_F_NESTED. The calls which add NLA_F_NESTED manually
are rewritten to use nla_nest_start().Except for changes in include/net/netlink.h, the patch was generated using

We initially interpreted the fwmark parameter as a flag that simply turned
on the feature, using the whole skb->mark field as the index into the CAKE
tin_order array. However, it is quite common for different applications to
use different parts of the mask field for their own purposes, each using a
different mask.Support this use of subsets of the mark by interpreting the TCA_CAKE_FWMARK
parameter as a bitmask to apply to the fwmark field when reading it. The
result will be right-shifted by the number of unset lower bits of the mask
before looking up the tin.In the original commit message we also failed to credit Felix Resch with
originally suggesting the fwmark feature back in 2017; so the Suggested-By
in this commit covers the whole fwmark feature.Fixes: 0b5c7efdfc6e ("sch_cake: Permit use of connmarks as tin classifiers")

Add flag 'FWMARK' to enable use of firewall connmarks as tin selector.
The connmark (skbuff->mark) needs to be in the range 1->tin_cnt ie.
for diffserv3 the mark needs to be 1->3.Background
Typically CAKE uses DSCP as the basis for tin selection. DSCP values
are relatively easily changed as part of the egress path, usually with
iptables & the mangle table, ingress is more challenging. CAKE is often
used on the WAN interface of a residential gateway where passthrough of
DSCP from the ISP is either missing or set to unhelpful values thus use
of ingress DSCP values for tin selection isn't helpful in that
environment.An approach to solving the ingress tin selection problem is to use
CAKE's understanding of tc filters. Naive tc filters could match on
source/destination port numbers and force tin selection that way, but
multiple filters don't scale particularly well as each filter must be
traversed whether it matches or not. e.g. a simple example to map 3
firewall marks to tins:MAJOR=$( tc qdisc show dev $DEV | head -1 | awk '{print $3}' )
tc filter add dev $DEV parent $MAJOR protocol all handle 0x01 fw action skbedit priority ${MAJOR}1
tc filter add dev $DEV parent $MAJOR protocol all handle 0x02 fw action skbedit priority ${MAJOR}2
tc filter add dev $DEV parent $MAJOR protocol all handle 0x03 fw action skbedit priority ${MAJOR}3Another option is to use eBPF cls_act with tc filters e.g.
MAJOR=$( tc qdisc show dev $DEV | head -1 | awk '{print $3}' )
tc filter add dev $DEV parent $MAJOR bpf da obj my-bpf-fwmark-to-class.oThis has the disadvantages of a) needing someone to write & maintain
the bpf program, b) a bpf toolchain to compile it and c) needing to
hardcode the major number in the bpf program so it matches the cake
instance (or forcing the cake instance to a particular major number)
since the major number cannot be passed to the bpf program via tc
command line.As already hinted at by the previous examples, it would be helpful
to associate tins with something that survives the Internet path and
ideally allows tin selection on both egress and ingress. Netfilter's
conntrack permits setting an identifying mark on a connection which
can also be restored to an ingress packet with tc action connmark e.g.tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol all prio 10 u32 \
match u32 0 0 flowid 1:1 action connmark action mirred egress redirect dev ifb1Since tc's connmark action has restored any connmark into skb->mark,
any of the previous solutions are based upon it and in one form or
another copy that mark to the skb->priority field where again CAKE
picks this up.This change cuts out at least one of the (less intuitive &
non-scalable) middlemen and permit direct access to skb->mark.Signed-off-by: Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant

CAKE host fairness does not work well with TCP flows in dual-srchost and
dual-dsthost setup. The reason is that ACKs generated by TCP flows are
classified as sparse flows, and affect flow isolation from other hosts. Fix
this by calculating host_load based only on the bulk flows a host
generates. In a hash collision the host_bulk_flow_count values must be
decremented on the old hosts and incremented on the new ones *if* the queue

react appropriately.In addition, the major number of the class ID can now be set to override
the host mapping in host isolation mode. If both host and flow are
overridden (or if the respective modes are disabled), flow dissection and
hashing will be skipped entirely; otherwise, the hashing will be kept for
the portions that are not set by the filter.Signed-off-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen

In diffserv mode, CAKE stores tins in a different order internally than
the logical order exposed to userspace. The order remapping was missing
in the handling of 'tc filter' priority mappings through skb->priority,
resulting in bulk and best effort mappings being reversed relative to
how they are displayed.Fix this by adding the missing mapping when reading skb->priority.

At lower bandwidths, the transmission time of a single GSO segment can add
an unacceptable amount of latency due to HOL blocking. Furthermore, with a
software shaper, any tuning mechanism employed by the kernel to control the
maximum size of GSO segments is thrown off by the artificial limit on
bandwidth. For this reason, we split GSO segments into their individual
packets iff the shaper is active and configured to a bandwidth

This commit adds configurable overhead compensation support to the rate
shaper. With this feature, userspace can configure the actual bottleneck
link overhead and encapsulation mode used, which will be used by the shaper
to calculate the precise duration of each packet on the wire.This feature is needed because CAKE is often deployed one or two hops
upstream of the actual bottleneck (which can be, e.g., inside a DSL or
cable modem). In this case, the link layer characteristics and overhead
reported by the kernel does not match the actual bottleneck. Being able to
set the actual values in use makes it possible to configure the shaper rate
much closer to the actual bottleneck rate (our experience shows it is
possible to get with 0.1% of the actual physical bottleneck rate), thus
keeping latency low without sacrificing bandwidth.The overhead compensation has three tunables: A fixed per-packet overhead
size (which, if set, will be accounted from the IP packet header), a
minimum packet size (MPU) and a framing mode supporting either ATM or PTM
framing. We include a set of common keywords in TC to help users configure
the right parameters. If no overhead value is set, the value reported by
the kernel is used.Signed-off-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen

This adds support for DiffServ-based priority queueing to CAKE. If the
shaper is in use, each priority tier gets its own virtual clock, which
limits that tier's rate to a fraction of the overall shaped rate, to
discourage trying to game the priority mechanism.CAKE defaults to a simple, three-tier mode that interprets most code points
as "best effort", but places CS1 traffic into a low-priority "bulk" tier
which is assigned 1/16 of the total rate, and a few code points indicating
latency-sensitive or control traffic (specifically TOS4, VA, EF, CS6, CS7)
into a "latency sensitive" high-priority tier, which is assigned 1/4 rate.
The other supported DiffServ modes are a 4-tier mode matching the 802.11e
precedence rules, as well as two 8-tier modes, one of which implements
strict precedence of the eight priority levels.This commit also adds an optional DiffServ 'wash' mode, which will zero out
the DSCP fields of any packet passing through CAKE. While this can
technically be done with other mechanisms in the kernel, having the feature
available in CAKE significantly decreases configuration complexity; and the
implementation cost is low on top of the other DiffServ-handling code.Filters and applications can set the skb->priority field to override the
DSCP-based classification into tiers. If TC_H_MAJ(skb->priority) matches
CAKE's qdisc handle, the minor number will be interpreted as a priority
tier if it is less than or equal to the number of configured priority
tiers.Signed-off-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen

When CAKE is deployed on a gateway that also performs NAT (which is a
common deployment mode), the host fairness mechanism cannot distinguish
internal hosts from each other, and so fails to work correctly.To fix this, we add an optional NAT awareness mode, which will query the
kernel conntrack mechanism to obtain the pre-NAT addresses for each packet
and use that in the flow and host hashing.When the shaper is enabled and the host is already performing NAT, the cost
of this lookup is negligible. However, in unlimited mode with no NAT being
performed, there is a significant CPU cost at higher bandwidths. For this
reason, the feature is turned off by default.Cc: netfilter-devel@vger.kernel.org

The ACK filter is an optional feature of CAKE which is designed to improve
performance on links with very asymmetrical rate limits. On such links
(which are unfortunately quite prevalent, especially for DSL and cable
subscribers), the downstream throughput can be limited by the number of
ACKs capable of being transmitted in the *upstream* direction.Filtering ACKs can, in general, have adverse effects on TCP performance
because it interferes with ACK clocking (especially in slow start), and it
reduces the flow's resiliency to ACKs being dropped further along the path.
To alleviate these drawbacks, the ACK filter in CAKE tries its best to
always keep enough ACKs queued to ensure forward progress in the TCP flow
being filtered. It does this by only filtering redundant ACKs. In its
default 'conservative' mode, the filter will always keep at least two
redundant ACKs in the queue, while in 'aggressive' mode, it will filter
down to a single ACK.The ACK filter works by inspecting the per-flow queue on every packet
enqueue. Starting at the head of the queue, the filter looks for another
eligible packet to drop (so the ACK being dropped is always closer to the
head of the queue than the packet being enqueued). An ACK is eligible only
if it ACKs *fewer* bytes than the new packet being enqueued, including any
SACK options. This prevents duplicate ACKs from being filtered, to avoid
interfering with retransmission logic. In addition, we check TCP header
options and only drop those that are known to not interfere with sender
state. In particular, packets with unknown option codes are never dropped.In aggressive mode, an eligible packet is always dropped, while in
conservative mode, at least two ACKs are kept in the queue. Only pure ACKs
(with no data segments) are considered eligible for dropping, but when an
ACK with data segments is enqueued, this can cause another pure ACK to
become eligible for dropping.The approach described above ensures that this ACK filter avoids most of
the drawbacks of a naive filtering mechanism that only keeps flow state but
does not inspect the queue. This is the rationale for including the ACK
filter in CAKE itself rather than as separate module (as the TC filter, for
instance).Our performance evaluation has shown that on a 30/1 Mbps link with a
bidirectional traffic test (RRUL), turning on the ACK filter on the
upstream link improves downstream throughput by ~20% (both modes) and
upstream throughput by ~12% in conservative mode and ~40% in aggressive
mode, at the cost of ~5ms of inter-flow latency due to the increased
congestion.In *really* pathological cases, the effect can be a lot more; for instance,
the ACK filter increases the achievable downstream throughput on a link
with 100 Kbps in the upstream direction by an order of magnitude (from ~2.5
Mbps to ~25 Mbps).Finally, even though we consider the ACK filter to be safer than most, we
do not recommend turning it on everywhere: on more symmetrical link
bandwidths the effect is negligible at best.Cc: Yuchung Cheng
