Introduce a netfilter egress hook to complement the existing ingress hook.
User space support for nft will be submitted separately in a minute.
I'm re-submitting this as non-RFC per Pablo's request. Compared to the
RFC, I've changed the order in patch [3/3] to perform netfilter first,
then tc (instead of the other way round). The rationale is provided in
the commit message. I've also extended the commit message with performance
measurements.
To reproduce the performance measurements in patch [3/3], you'll need
net-next commit 1e09e5818b3a ("pktgen: Allow on loopback device").
Link to the RFC version:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/cover.1572528496.git.lukas@wunner.de/
Thanks!

Allow the same on egress. Position the hook immediately before a packet is handed to tc and then sent out on an interface, thereby mirroring the ingress order. This order allows marking packets in the netfilter egress hook and subsequently using the mark in tc. Another benefit of this order is consistency with a lot of existing documentation which says that egress tc is performed after netfilter hooks. Egress hooks already exist for the most common protocols, such as NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT or NF_ARP_OUT, and those are to be preferred because they are executed earlier during packet processing. However for more exotic protocols, there is currently no provision to apply netfilter on egress. A common workaround is to enslave the interface to a bridge and use ebtables, or to resort to tc. But when the ingress hook was introduced, consensus was that users should be given the choice to use netfilter or tc, whichever tool suits their needs best: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20150430153317.GA3230@salvia/ There have also been occasional user requests for a netfilter egress hook in the past, e.g.: https://www.spinics.net/lists/netfilter/msg50038.html Performance measurements with pktgen surprisingly show a speedup rather than a slowdown with this commit: * Without this commit: Result: OK: 34240933(c34238375+d2558) usec, 100000000 (60byte,0frags) 2920481pps 1401Mb/sec (1401830880bps) errors: 0 * With this commit: Result: OK: 33997299(c33994193+d3106) usec, 100000000 (60byte,0frags) 2941410pps 1411Mb/sec (1411876800bps) errors: 0 * Without this commit + tc egress: Result: OK: 39022386(c39019547+d2839) usec, 100000000 (60byte,0frags) 2562631pps 1230Mb/sec (1230062880bps) errors: 0 * With this commit + tc egress: Result: OK: 37604447(c37601877+d2570) usec, 100000000 (60byte,0frags) 2659259pps 1276Mb/sec (1276444320bps) errors: 0 * With this commit + nft egress: Result: OK: 41436689(c41434088+d2600) usec, 100000000 (60byte,0frags) 2413320pps 1158Mb/sec (1158393600bps) errors: 0 Tested on a bare-metal Core i7-3615QM, each measurement was performed three times to verify that the numbers are stable.

A common workaround is to enslave the interface to a bridge and Sorry for late reply, but still NAK. The primary use-case for this patch set is out of tree module which you mentioned last time [0] ... There's another reason I chose netfilter over tc: I need to activate the filter from a kernel module, hence need an in-kernel (rather than user space) API. netfilter provides that via nf_register_net_hook(), I couldn't find anything similar for tc. And an egress netfilter hook seemed like an obvious missing feature given the presence of an ingress hook. The module I need this for is out-of-tree: https://github.com/RevolutionPi/piControl/commit/da199ccd2099 In my experience the argument that a feature is needed for an out-of-tree module holds zero value upstream. If there's no in-tree user, the feature isn't merged, I've seen this more than enough. Which is why I didn't mention it in the first place.

So in terms of micro-benchmarking with pktgen, if I understand you correctly, you are basically measuring loopback device by pushing packets through the __dev_queue_xmit() -> loopback_xmit() -> netif_rx() till the stack drops them in IP layer on ingress side? I wonder how your perf profile looks like ... Setting a drop point in tc layer and then measuring the effect before/after this change with CONFIG_NETFILTER_EGRESS enabled, I'm getting a stable degration from ~4.123Mpps to ~4.082Mpps with pktgen, definitely not seeing a speedup. # ip link add dev foo type dummy # ip link set dev foo up # tc qdisc add dev foo clsact # tc filter add dev foo egress bpf da bytecode '1,6 0 0 0,' # modprobe pktgen # echo "add_device foo" > /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_3 # samples/pktgen/pktgen_bench_xmit_mode_queue_xmit.sh -i 'foo' -n 400000000 -m '11:11:11:11:11:11' -d '1.1.1.1' Also to let pktgen count the skb: diff --git a/net/core/pktgen.c b/net/core/pktgen.c index acc849df60b5..8920da7a7a67 100644 --- a/net/core/pktgen.c +++ b/net/core/pktgen.c @@ -3372,11 +3372,11 @@ static void pktgen_xmit(struct pktgen_dev *pkt_dev) ret = dev_queue_xmit(pkt_dev->skb); switch (ret) { case NET_XMIT_SUCCESS: + case NET_XMIT_DROP: pkt_dev->sofar++; pkt_dev->seq_num++; pkt_dev->tx_bytes += pkt_dev->last_pkt_size; break; - case NET_XMIT_DROP: case NET_XMIT_CN: /* These are all valid return codes for a qdisc but * indicate packets are being dropped or will likely (In any case, this whole discussion is moot for out of tree code.)

We have plans to support for NAT64 and NAT46, this is the right spot to do this mangling. There is already support for the tunneling infrastructure in netfilter from ingress, this spot from egress will allow us to perform the tunneling from here. There is also no way to drop traffic generated by dhclient, this also allow for filtering such locally generated traffic. And many more. Performance impact is negligible, Lukas already provided what you asked for.

This is a known fact for ~17 years [0] or probably more by now and noone from netfilter folks cared to address it in all the years, so I presume it cannot be important enough, and these days it can be filtered through other means already.

Those hooks are not coming at the end of the IP processing. There is very relevant IP code after those hooks that cannot be bypassed such as fragmentation, tunneling and neighbour output. Such transformation needs to happen after the IP processing, exactly from where Lukas is proposing.

At that time, the only way one way to add support for ingress/egress classification in netfilter: add "devtables", yet another copy and past from iptables, that was a no-go. This is not a problem anymore since there is a consolidated netfilter framework to achieve ingress/egress classification. > > Performance impact is negligible, Lukas already provided what you > > asked for. > > Sure, and the claimed result was "as said the fast-path gets faster, not > slower" without any explanation or digging into details on why this might > be, especially since it appears counter-intuitive as was stated by the > author ... and later demonstrated w/ measurements that show the opposite. I remember one of your collegues used this same argument against new hooks back in 2015 [0], and the introduction of this hook was proven to be negligible. This patchset introduces code that looks very much the same. I can make a list of recent updates to the output path, several of them very are targeted to very specific usecases. You did not care at all about performance impact of those at all, however, you care about netfilter for some unknown reason. In my opinion, your original feedback has been addressed, it's time to move on. Thank you. [0] https://lwn.net/Articles/642414/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 17+ messages in thread

Daniel submitted a revert of this series but didn't cc me: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/bbdee6355234e730ef686f9321bd072bcf4bb232.1584523237.git.daniel@iogearbox.net/ In the ensuing discussion it turned out that the performance argument may be addressed by a rearrangement of sch_handle_egress() and nf_egress() invocations. I could look into amending the series accordingly and resubmitting, though I'm currently swamped with other work. The question is whether that's going to be sufficient because Daniel mentioned having an in-tree user as a prerequisite for accepting this feature, to which Pablo responded with NAT64/NAT46.

Daniel, I have it running now the way you want it (I think) and am benchmarking several variants. I'm now faced with the following choice: * One variant speeds up the default case with neither tc nor nft in use (2241 -> 2285 Mb/sec), but tc becomes a little slower (1929 -> 1927 Mb/sec). * Another variant still speeds up the default case but not by as much (2241 -> 2274 Mb/sec) and speeds up tc as well (1929 -> 1931 Mb/sec). The difference is that the first variant uses an outer static_key which patches in a function containing two inner static_keys for nft + tc. The second variant uses an outer static_key and a single inner static_key for nft (but no static_key for tc). nft is slower in the second variant (2231 -> 2225 Mb/sec). I'm leaning towards the first variant, but because it incurs a small performance degradation if tc is used, I wanted to give you a heads-up. If this is totally unacceptable for you, I'll post the second variant instead. I need a few more days to update the commit messages, perform further testing and apply polish, so I plan to dump the patches to the list next week. Just thought I'd ask for your opinion, I'm aware this is difficult to judge without seeing the code. I'm using static_keys instead of fmodify_return (which you've suggested) because I would like to avoid a dependency on BPF as it might not be an option for space-constrained embedded machines and a BPF JIT isn't available on as many arches as CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL.

FWIW, the code for the first variant is in the top-most commit on the following branch: https://github.com/l1k/linux/commits/nft_egress_v3 Again, it gives the best performance if neither nft nor tc classifying is enabled on egress, but incurs a small performance degradation for the tc-only case. Ignore the commit message, I haven't updated it yet. And to get the second variant, the following patch needs to be applied with "patch -R -p1". This variant speeds up the normal case but not by as much, also speeds up tc, has worse performance for nft. It doesn't use a static_key for tc, save for the outer one (shared with nft), hence no performance degradation for the tc-only case. -- >8 -- diff --git a/include/linux/netdevice.h b/include/linux/netdevice.h index 93e63e756771..ef2cc21a0f11 100644 --- a/include/linux/netdevice.h +++ b/include/linux/netdevice.h @@ -785,6 +785,10 @@ struct xps_dev_maps { #endif /* CONFIG_XPS */ +#ifdef CONFIG_NET_EGRESS +extern struct static_key_false egress_needed_key; +#endif + #define TC_MAX_QUEUE 16 #define TC_BITMASK 15 /* HW offloaded queuing disciplines txq count and offset maps */ diff --git a/include/linux/rtnetlink.h b/include/linux/rtnetlink.h index bb9cb84114c1..49fe4f3b8fbd 100644 --- a/include/linux/rtnetlink.h +++ b/include/linux/rtnetlink.h @@ -97,7 +97,7 @@ void net_inc_ingress_queue(void); void net_dec_ingress_queue(void); #endif -#ifdef CONFIG_NET_EGRESS +#ifdef CONFIG_NET_SCH_EGRESS void net_inc_egress_queue(void); void net_dec_egress_queue(void); #endif diff --git a/net/core/dev.c b/net/core/dev.c index a7e2ff191481..f1ac84beef76 100644 --- a/net/core/dev.c +++ b/net/core/dev.c @@ -1815,20 +1815,30 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(net_dec_ingress_queue); #endif #ifdef CONFIG_NET_EGRESS -static DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(egress_needed_key); +DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(egress_needed_key); + +#ifdef CONFIG_NET_SCH_EGRESS +static DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(sch_egress_needed_key); void net_inc_egress_queue(void) { static_branch_inc(&egress_needed_key); + static_branch_inc(&sch_egress_needed_key); } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(net_inc_egress_queue); void net_dec_egress_queue(void) { + static_branch_dec(&sch_egress_needed_key); static_branch_dec(&egress_needed_key); } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(net_dec_egress_queue); -#endif + +#define sch_egress_needed static_branch_likely(&sch_egress_needed_key) +#else +#define sch_egress_needed false +#endif /* CONFIG_NET_SCH_EGRESS */ +#endif /* CONFIG_NET_EGRESS */ static DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(netstamp_needed_key); #ifdef CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL @@ -3604,7 +3614,7 @@ static int nf_egress(struct sk_buff *skb) static inline struct sk_buff * sch_handle_egress(struct sk_buff *skb, int *ret, struct net_device *dev) { -#ifdef CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT +#ifdef CONFIG_NET_SCH_EGRESS struct mini_Qdisc *miniq = rcu_dereference_bh(dev->miniq_egress); struct tcf_result cl_res; @@ -3638,7 +3648,7 @@ sch_handle_egress(struct sk_buff *skb, int *ret, struct net_device *dev) default: break; } -#endif /* CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT */ +#endif /* CONFIG_NET_SCH_EGRESS */ return skb; } @@ -3655,7 +3665,10 @@ nf_sch_egress(struct sk_buff *skb, int *ret, struct net_device *dev) return NULL; } - return sch_handle_egress(skb, ret, dev); + if (sch_egress_needed) + return sch_handle_egress(skb, ret, dev); + + return skb; } #endif /* CONFIG_NET_EGRESS */ diff --git a/net/netfilter/core.c b/net/netfilter/core.c index a78a439e4fdd..8e7d5eed663c 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/core.c +++ b/net/netfilter/core.c @@ -358,7 +358,7 @@ static int __nf_register_net_hook(struct net *net, int pf, #endif #ifdef CONFIG_NETFILTER_EGRESS if (pf == NFPROTO_NETDEV && reg->hooknum == NF_NETDEV_EGRESS) - net_inc_egress_queue(); + static_branch_inc(&egress_needed_key); #endif #ifdef CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL static_key_slow_inc(&nf_hooks_needed[pf][reg->hooknum]); @@ -420,7 +420,7 @@ static void __nf_unregister_net_hook(struct net *net, int pf, #endif #ifdef CONFIG_NETFILTER_EGRESS if (pf == NFPROTO_NETDEV && reg->hooknum == NF_NETDEV_EGRESS) - net_dec_egress_queue(); + static_branch_dec(&egress_needed_key); #endif #ifdef CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL static_key_slow_dec(&nf_hooks_needed[pf][reg->hooknum]); diff --git a/net/sched/Kconfig b/net/sched/Kconfig index afd2ba157a13..806d5d60fc9a 100644 --- a/net/sched/Kconfig +++ b/net/sched/Kconfig @@ -383,6 +383,9 @@ config NET_SCH_INGRESS To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will be called sch_ingress with alias of sch_clsact. +config NET_SCH_EGRESS + def_bool NET_SCH_INGRESS + config NET_SCH_PLUG tristate "Plug network traffic until release (PLUG)" ---help--- ^ permalink raw reply related [flat|nested] 17+ messages in thread
