commit 983695fa676568fc0fe5ddd995c7267aabc24632 upstream.

Intention of cgroup bind/connect/sendmsg BPF hooks is to act transparently
to applications as also stated in original motivation in 7828f20e3779 ("Merge
branch 'bpf-cgroup-bind-connect'"). When recently integrating the latter
two hooks into Cilium to enable host based load-balancing with Kubernetes,
I ran into the issue that pods couldn't start up as DNS got broken. Kubernetes
typically sets up DNS as a service and is thus subject to load-balancing.

Upon further debugging, it turns out that the cgroupv2 sendmsg BPF hooks API
is currently insufficient and thus not usable as-is for standard applications
shipped with most distros. To break down the issue we ran into with a simple
example:

  # cat /etc/resolv.conf
  nameserver 147.75.207.207
  nameserver 147.75.207.208

For the purpose of a simple test, we set up above IPs as service IPs and
transparently redirect traffic to a different DNS backend server for that
node:

  # cilium service list
  ID   Frontend            Backend
  1    147.75.207.207:53   1 =&gt; 8.8.8.8:53
  2    147.75.207.208:53   1 =&gt; 8.8.8.8:53

The attached BPF program is basically selecting one of the backends if the
service IP/port matches on the cgroup hook. DNS breaks here, because the
hooks are not transparent enough to applications which have built-in msg_name
address checks:

  # nslookup 1.1.1.1
  ;; reply from unexpected source: 8.8.8.8#53, expected 147.75.207.207#53
  ;; reply from unexpected source: 8.8.8.8#53, expected 147.75.207.208#53
  ;; reply from unexpected source: 8.8.8.8#53, expected 147.75.207.207#53
  [...]
  ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

  # dig 1.1.1.1
  ;; reply from unexpected source: 8.8.8.8#53, expected 147.75.207.207#53
  ;; reply from unexpected source: 8.8.8.8#53, expected 147.75.207.208#53
  ;; reply from unexpected source: 8.8.8.8#53, expected 147.75.207.207#53
  [...]

  ; &lt;&lt;&gt;&gt; DiG 9.11.3-1ubuntu1.7-Ubuntu &lt;&lt;&gt;&gt; 1.1.1.1
  ;; global options: +cmd
  ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

For comparison, if none of the service IPs is used, and we tell nslookup
to use 8.8.8.8 directly it works just fine, of course:

  # nslookup 1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8
  1.1.1.1.in-addr.arpa	name = one.one.one.one.

In order to fix this and thus act more transparent to the application,
this needs reverse translation on recvmsg() side. A minimal fix for this
API is to add similar recvmsg() hooks behind the BPF cgroups static key
such that the program can track state and replace the current sockaddr_in{,6}
with the original service IP. From BPF side, this basically tracks the
service tuple plus socket cookie in an LRU map where the reverse NAT can
then be retrieved via map value as one example. Side-note: the BPF cgroups
static key should be converted to a per-hook static key in future.

Same example after this fix:

  # cilium service list
  ID   Frontend            Backend
  1    147.75.207.207:53   1 =&gt; 8.8.8.8:53
  2    147.75.207.208:53   1 =&gt; 8.8.8.8:53

Lookups work fine now:

  # nslookup 1.1.1.1
  1.1.1.1.in-addr.arpa    name = one.one.one.one.

  Authoritative answers can be found from:

  # dig 1.1.1.1

  ; &lt;&lt;&gt;&gt; DiG 9.11.3-1ubuntu1.7-Ubuntu &lt;&lt;&gt;&gt; 1.1.1.1
  ;; global options: +cmd
  ;; Got answer:

And from an actual packet level it shows that we're using the back end
server when talking via 147.75.207.20{7,8} front end:

  # tcpdump -i any udp
  [...]
  12:59:52.698732 IP foo.42011 &gt; google-public-dns-a.google.com.domain: 18803+ PTR? 1.1.1.1.in-addr.arpa. (38)
  12:59:52.698735 IP foo.42011 &gt; google-public-dns-a.google.com.domain: 18803+ PTR? 1.1.1.1.in-addr.arpa. (38)

  [...]

In order to be flexible and to have same semantics as in sendmsg BPF
programs, we only allow return codes in [1,1] range. In the sendmsg case
the program is called if msg-&gt;msg_name is present which can be the case
in both, connected and unconnected UDP.

The former only relies on the sockaddr_in{,6} passed via connect(2) if
passed msg-&gt;msg_name was NULL. Therefore, on recvmsg side, we act in similar
way to call into the BPF program whenever a non-NULL msg-&gt;msg_name was
passed independent of sk-&gt;sk_state being TCP_ESTABLISHED or not. Note
that for TCP case, the msg-&gt;msg_name is ignored in the regular recvmsg
path and therefore not relevant.

For the case of ip{,v6}_recv_error() paths, picked up via MSG_ERRQUEUE,
the hook is not called. This is intentional as it aligns with the same
semantics as in case of TCP cgroup BPF hooks right now. This might be
better addressed in future through a different bpf_attach_type such
that this case can be distinguished from the regular recvmsg paths,
for example.

commit c6110222c6f49ea68169f353565eb865488a8619 upstream.

Add a callback map_lookup_elem_sys_only() that map implementations
could use over map_lookup_elem() from system call side in case the
map implementation needs to handle the latter differently than from
the BPF data path. If map_lookup_elem_sys_only() is set, this will
be preferred pick for map lookups out of user space. This hook is
used in a follow-up fix for LRU map, but once development window
opens, we can convert other map types from map_lookup_elem() (here,
the one called upon BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM cmd is meant) over to use
the callback to simplify and clean up the latter.

<title>bpf: Try harder when allocating memory for large maps</title>
<updated>2019-03-18T15:48:25Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=f01a7dbe98ae4265023fa5d3af0f076f0b18a647'/>
<id>urn:sha1:f01a7dbe98ae4265023fa5d3af0f076f0b18a647</id>
<content type='text'>
It has been observed that sometimes a higher order memory allocation
for BPF maps fails when there is no obvious memory pressure in a system.
E.g. the map (BPF_MAP_TYPE_LRU_HASH, key=38, value=56, max_elems=524288)
could not be created due to vmalloc unable to allocate 75497472B,
when the system's memory consumption (in MB) was the following:

    Total: 3942 Used: 837 (21.24%) Free: 138 Buffers: 239 Cached: 2727

Later analysis [1] by Michal Hocko showed that the vmalloc was not trying
to reclaim memory from the page cache and was failing prematurely due to
__GFP_NORETRY.

Considering dcda9b0471 ("mm, tree wide: replace __GFP_REPEAT by
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL with more useful semantic") and [1], we can replace
__GFP_NORETRY with __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL, as it won't invoke OOM killer
and will try harder to fulfil allocation requests.

Unfortunately, replacing the body of the BPF map memory allocation
function with the kvmalloc_node helper function is not an option at
this point in time, given 1) kmalloc is non-optional for higher order
allocations, and 2) passing __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL to the kmalloc would
stress the slab allocator too much for large requests.

The change has been tested with the workloads mentioned above and by
observing oom_kill value from /proc/vmstat.

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2019-03-04

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Add AF_XDP support to libbpf. Rationale is to facilitate writing
   AF_XDP applications by offering higher-level APIs that hide many
   of the details of the AF_XDP uapi. Sample programs are converted
   over to this new interface as well, from Magnus.

2) Introduce a new cant_sleep() macro for annotation of functions
   that cannot sleep and use it in BPF_PROG_RUN() to assert that
   BPF programs run under preemption disabled context, from Peter.

3) Introduce per BPF prog stats in order to monitor the usage
   of BPF; this is controlled by kernel.bpf_stats_enabled sysctl
   knob where monitoring tools can make use of this to efficiently
   determine the average cost of programs, from Alexei.

4) Split up BPF selftest's test_progs similarly as we already
   did with test_verifier. This allows to further reduce merge
   conflicts in future and to get more structure into our
   quickly growing BPF selftest suite, from Stanislav.

5) Fix a bug in BTF's dedup algorithm which can cause an infinite
   loop in some circumstances; also various BPF doc fixes and
   improvements, from Andrii.

6) Various BPF sample cleanups and migration to libbpf in order
   to further isolate the old sample loader code (so we can get
   rid of it at some point), from Jakub.

7) Add a new BPF helper for BPF cgroup skb progs that allows
   to set ECN CE code point and a Host Bandwidth Manager (HBM)
   sample program for limiting the bandwidth used by v2 cgroups,
   from Lawrence.

8) Enable write access to skb-&gt;queue_mapping from tc BPF egress
   programs in order to let BPF pick TX queue, from Jesper.

9) Fix a bug in BPF spinlock handling for map-in-map which did
   not propagate spin_lock_off to the meta map, from Yonghong.

10) Fix a bug in the new per-CPU BPF prog counters to properly
    initialize stats for each CPU, from Eric.

11) Add various BPF helper prototypes to selftest's bpf_helpers.h,
    from Willem.

12) Fix various BPF samples bugs in XDP and tracing progs,
    from Toke, Daniel and Yonghong.

13) Silence preemption splat in test_bpf after BPF_PROG_RUN()
    enforces it now everywhere, from Anders.

14) Fix a signedness bug in libbpf's btf_dedup_ref_type() to
    get error handling working, from Dan.

15) Fix bpftool documentation and auto-completion with regards
    to stream_{verdict,parser} attach types, from Alban.

JITed BPF programs are indistinguishable from kernel functions, but unlike
kernel code BPF code can be changed often.
Typical approach of "perf record" + "perf report" profiling and tuning of
kernel code works just as well for BPF programs, but kernel code doesn't
need to be monitored whereas BPF programs do.
Users load and run large amount of BPF programs.
These BPF stats allow tools monitor the usage of BPF on the server.
The monitoring tools will turn sysctl kernel.bpf_stats_enabled
on and off for few seconds to sample average cost of the programs.
Aggregated data over hours and days will provide an insight into cost of BPF
and alarms can trigger in case given program suddenly gets more expensive.

The cost of two sched_clock() per program invocation adds ~20 nsec.
Fast BPF progs (like selftests/bpf/progs/test_pkt_access.c) will slow down
from ~10 nsec to ~30 nsec.
static_key minimizes the cost of the stats collection.
There is no measurable difference before/after this patch
with kernel.bpf_stats_enabled=0
