On x86_64, each notification results in one skbuff allocation which
consumes at least 768 bytes due to the skbuff overhead.
This patch coalesces several notifications into one single skbuff, so
each notification consumes at least ~211 bytes, that ~3.5 times less
memory consumption. As a result, this is reducing the chances to exhaust
the netlink socket receive buffer.
Rule of thumb is that each notification batch only contains netlink
messages whose report flag is the same, nfnetlink_send() requires this
to do appropriate delivery to userspace, either via unicast (echo
mode) or multicast (monitor mode).
The skbuff control buffer is used to annotate the report flag for later
handling at the new coalescing routine.
The batch skbuff notification size is NLMSG_GOODSIZE, using a larger
skbuff would allow for more socket receiver buffer savings (to amortize
the cost of the skbuff even more), however, going over that size might
break userspace applications, so let's be conservative and stick to
NLMSG_GOODSIZE.

This patch introduces a list of pending module requests. This new module
list is composed of nft_module_request objects that contain the module
name and one status field that tells if the module has been already
loaded (the 'done' field).
In the first pass, from the preparation phase, the netlink command finds
that a module is missing on this list. Then, a module request is
allocated and added to this list and nft_request_module() returns
-EAGAIN. This triggers the abort path with the autoload parameter set on
from nfnetlink, request_module() is called and the module request enters
the 'done' state. Since the mutex is released when loading modules from
the abort phase, the module list is zapped so this is iteration occurs
over a local list. Therefore, the request_module() calls happen when
object lists are in consistent state (after fulling aborting the
transaction) and the commit list is empty.
On the second pass, the netlink command will find that it already tried
to load the module, so it does not request it again and
nft_request_module() returns 0. Then, there is a look up to find the
object that the command was missing. If the module was successfully
loaded, the command proceeds normally since it finds the missing object
in place, otherwise -ENOENT is reported to userspace.
This patch also updates nfnetlink to include the reason to enter the
abort phase, which is required for this new autoload module rationale.

The following ruleset:
add table ip filter
add chain ip filter input { type filter hook input priority 4; }
add chain ip filter ap
add rule ip filter input jump ap
add rule ip filter ap masquerade
results in a panic, because the masquerade extension should be rejected
from the filter chain. The existing validation is missing a chain
dependency check when the rule is added to the non-base chain.
This patch fixes the problem by walking down the rules from the
basechains, searching for either immediate or lookup expressions, then
jumping to non-base chains and again walking down the rules to perform
the expression validation, so we make sure the full ruleset graph is
validated. This is done only once from the commit phase, in case of
problem, we abort the transaction and perform fine grain validation for
error reporting. This patch requires 003087911a ("netfilter:
nfnetlink: allow commit to fail") to achieve this behaviour.
This patch also adds a cleanup callback to nfnl batch interface to reset
the validate state from the exit path.
As a result of this patch, nf_tables_check_loops() doesn't use
->validate to check for loops, instead it just checks for immediate
expressions.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

An updater may interfer with the dumping of any of the object lists.
Fix this by using a per-net generation counter and use the
nl_dump_check_consistent() interface so the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag is set
to notify userspace that it has to restart the dump since an updater
has interfered.
This patch also replaces the existing consistency checking code in the
rule dumping path since it is broken. Basically, the value that the
dump callback returns is not propagated to userspace via
netlink_dump_start().

This patch adds a batch support to nfnetlink. Basically, it adds
two new control messages:
* NFNL_MSG_BATCH_BEGIN, that indicates the beginning of a batch,
the nfgenmsg->res_id indicates the nfnetlink subsystem ID.
* NFNL_MSG_BATCH_END, that results in the invocation of the
ss->commit callback function. If not specified or an error
ocurred in the batch, the ss->abort function is invoked
instead.
The end message represents the commit operation in nftables, the
lack of end message results in an abort. This patch also adds the
.call_batch function that is only called from the batch receival
path.
This patch adds atomic rule updates and dumps based on
bitmask generations. This allows to atomically commit a set of
rule-set updates incrementally without altering the internal
state of existing nf_tables expressions/matches/targets.
The idea consists of using a generation cursor of 1 bit and
a bitmask of 2 bits per rule. Assuming the gencursor is 0,
then the genmask (expressed as a bitmask) can be interpreted
as:
00 active in the present, will be active in the next generation.
01 inactive in the present, will be active in the next generation.
10 active in the present, will be deleted in the next generation.
^
gencursor
Once you invoke the transition to the next generation, the global
gencursor is updated:
00 active in the present, will be active in the next generation.
01 active in the present, needs to zero its future, it becomes 00.
10 inactive in the present, delete now.
^
gencursor
If a dump is in progress and nf_tables enters a new generation,
the dump will stop and return -EBUSY to let userspace know that
it has to retry again. In order to invalidate dumps, a global
genctr counter is increased everytime nf_tables enters a new
generation.
This new operation can be used from the user-space utility
that controls the firewall, eg.
nft -f restore
The rule updates contained in `file' will be applied atomically.
cat file
-----
add filter INPUT ip saddr 1.1.1.1 counter accept #1
del filter INPUT ip daddr 2.2.2.2 counter drop #2
-EOF-
Note that the rule 1 will be inactive until the transition to the
next generation, the rule 2 will be evicted in the next generation.
There is a penalty during the rule update due to the branch
misprediction in the packet matching framework. But that should be
quickly resolved once the iteration over the commit list that
contain rules that require updates is finished.
Event notification happens once the rule-set update has been
committed. So we skip notifications is case the rule-set update
is aborted, which can happen in case that the rule-set is tested
to apply correctly.
This patch squashed the following patches from Pablo:
* nf_tables: atomic rule updates and dumps
* nf_tables: get rid of per rule list_head for commits
* nf_tables: use per netns commit list
* nfnetlink: add batch support and use it from nf_tables
* nf_tables: all rule updates are transactional
* nf_tables: attach replacement rule after stale one
* nf_tables: do not allow deletion/replacement of stale rules
* nf_tables: remove unused NFTA_RULE_FLAGS
