[PATCH ipsec-next,v3 0/3] xfrm: support collect metadata mode for xfrm interfaces

[Eyal Birger]

From: Eyal Birger <eyal@nsof.io>

This series adds support for "collect_md" mode in XFRM interfaces.

This feature is useful for maintaining a large number of IPsec connections
with the benefits of using a network interface while reducing the overhead
of maintaining a large number of devices.

Currently this is possible by having multiple connections share a common
interface by sharing the if_id identifier and using some other criteria
to distinguish between them - such as different subnets or skb marks.
This becomes complex in multi-tenant environments where subnets collide
and the mark space is used for other purposes.

Since the xfrm interface uses the if_id as the differentiator when
looking for policies, setting the if_id in the dst_metadata framework
allows using a single interface for different connections while having
the ability to selectively steer traffic to each one. In addition the
xfrm interface "link" property can also be specified to affect underlying
routing in the context of VRFs.

The series is composed of the following steps:

- Introduce a new METADATA_XFRM metadata type to be used for this purpose.
  Reuse of the existing "METADATA_IP_TUNNEL" type was rejected in [0] as
  XFRM does not necessarily represent an IP tunnel.

- Add support for collect metadata mode in xfrm interfaces

- Allow setting the XFRM metadata from the LWT infrastructure

Future additions could allow setting/getting the XFRM metadata from eBPF
programs, TC, OVS, NF, etc.

[PATCH ipsec-next,v3 1/3] net: allow storing xfrm interface metadata in metadata_dst

[Eyal Birger]

XFRM interfaces provide the association of various XFRM transformations
to a netdevice using an 'if_id' identifier common to both the XFRM data
structures (polcies, states) and the interface. The if_id is configured by
the controlling entity (usually the IKE daemon) and can be used by the
administrator to define logical relations between different connections.

For example, different connections can share the if_id identifier so
that they pass through the same interface, . However, currently it is
not possible for connections using a different if_id to use the same
interface while retaining the logical separation between them, without
using additional criteria such as skb marks or different traffic
selectors.

When having a large number of connections, it is useful to have a the
logical separation offered by the if_id identifier but use a single
network interface. Similar to the way collect_md mode is used in IP
tunnels.

This patch attempts to enable different configuration mechanisms - such
as ebpf programs, LWT encapsulations, and TC - to attach metadata
to skbs which would carry the if_id. This way a single xfrm interface in
collect_md mode can demux traffic based on this configuration on tx and
provide this metadata on rx.

The XFRM metadata is somewhat similar to ip tunnel metadata in that it
has an "id", and shares similar configuration entities (bpf, tc, ...),
however, it does not necessarily represent an IP tunnel or use other
ip tunnel information, and also has an optional "link" property which
can be used for affecting underlying routing decisions.

Additional xfrm related criteria may also be added in the future.

Therefore, a new metadata type is introduced, to be used in subsequent
patches in the xfrm interface and configuration entities.

[PATCH ipsec-next,v3 2/3] xfrm: interface: support collect metadata mode

[Eyal Birger]

This commit adds support for 'collect_md' mode on xfrm interfaces.

Each net can have one collect_md device, created by providing the
IFLA_XFRM_COLLECT_METADATA flag at creation. This device cannot be
altered and has no if_id or link device attributes.

On transmit to this device, the if_id is fetched from the attached dst
metadata on the skb. If exists, the link property is also fetched from
the metadata. The dst metadata type used is METADATA_XFRM which holds
these properties.

On the receive side, xfrmi_rcv_cb() populates a dst metadata for each
packet received and attaches it to the skb. The if_id used in this case is
fetched from the xfrm state, and the link is fetched from the incoming
device. This information can later be used by upper layers such as tc,
ebpf, and ip rules.

Because the skb is scrubed in xfrmi_rcv_cb(), the attachment of the dst
metadata is postponed until after scrubing. Similarly, xfrm_input() is
adapted to avoid dropping metadata dsts by only dropping 'valid'
(skb_valid_dst(skb) == true) dsts.

Policy matching on packets arriving from collect_md xfrmi devices is
done by using the xfrm state existing in the skb's sec_path.
The xfrm_if_cb.decode_cb() interface implemented by xfrmi_decode_session()
is changed to keep the details of the if_id extraction tucked away
in xfrm_interface.c.

v3:
  - coding improvements suggested by Nikolay Aleksandrov
  - use RCU_INIT_POINTER() instead of rcu_assign_pointer() in
    xfrmi_dev_uninit() and rtnl_dereference() in xfrmi_exit_batch_net()
    as suggested by Nikolay Aleksandrov
  - omit redundant check on link assignment from metadata as suggested
    by Nicolas Dichtel
  - add missing extack message as suggested by Nicolas Dichtel

v2:
  - add "link" property as suggested by Nicolas Dichtel
  - rename xfrm_if_decode_session_params to xfrm_if_decode_session_result

[PATCH ipsec-next,v3 3/3] xfrm: lwtunnel: add lwtunnel support for xfrm interfaces in collect_md mode

[Eyal Birger]

Allow specifying the xfrm interface if_id and link as part of a route
metadata using the lwtunnel infrastructure.

This allows for example using a single xfrm interface in collect_md
mode as the target of multiple routes each specifying a different if_id.

With the appropriate changes to iproute2, considering an xfrm device
ipsec1 in collect_md mode one can for example add a route specifying
an if_id like so:

ip route add <SUBNET> dev ipsec1 encap xfrm if_id 1

In which case traffic routed to the device via this route would use
if_id in the xfrm interface policy lookup.

Or in the context of vrf, one can also specify the "link" property:

ip route add <SUBNET> dev ipsec1 encap xfrm if_id 1 link_dev eth15

v2:
  - move lwt_xfrm_info() helper to dst_metadata.h

IMHO, it would be better to keep consistency with IFLA_XFRM_LINK.

$ git grep _LINK.*NLA_U32 net/ drivers/net/

They all are U32. Adding one S32 would just add confusion.

Thanks for this input!

Indeed going over the other references it seems ifindex is treated as U32
when interfacing with userspace almost everywhere including netlink and
bpf. In the IOCTL interface it seems to be implemented as int, but at
least on my Ubuntu machine the manpage for e.g. if_nametoindex() describes
it as returning unsigned int.

Therefore I intend to resubmit this as U32.

Thanks,
Eyal.

Ack, good point, note that ifindex is not always a u32 and ifindex itself is usually a
signed integer field in structs (e.g. net_device), as well as flowic_oif (flowi_oif). :) 
rtnetlink.c:	[IFLA_NEW_IFINDEX]	= NLA_POLICY_MIN(NLA_S32, 1),
rtnetlink.c:	[NDA_IFINDEX]	= NLA_POLICY_MIN(NLA_S32, 1),

Just using the old U32 code and making link a u32 should be ok.
