[PATCH iproute2 v2 0/3] refactor the cmd_exec()

[Matteo Croce]

Refactor the netns and ipvrf code so less steps are needed to exec commands
in a netns or a VRF context.
Also remove some code which became dead. bloat-o-meter output:

[PATCH iproute2 v2 1/3] netns: switch netns in the child when executing commands

[Matteo Croce]

'ip netns exec' changes the current netns just before executing a child
process, and restores it after forking. This is needed if we're running
in batch or do_all mode.
Some cleanups must be done both in the parent and in the child: the
parent must restore the previous netns, while the child must reset any
VRF association.
Unfortunately, if do_all is set, the VRF are not reset in the child, and
the spawned processes are started with the wrong VRF context. This can
be triggered with this script:

	# ip -b - <<-'EOF'
		link add type vrf table 100
		link set vrf0 up
		link add type dummy
		link set dummy0 vrf vrf0 up
		netns add ns1
	EOF
	# ip -all -b - <<-'EOF'
		vrf exec vrf0 true
		netns exec setsid -f sleep 1h
	EOF
	# ip vrf pids vrf0
	  314  sleep
	# ps 314
	  PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
	  314 ?        Ss     0:00 sleep 1h

Refactor cmd_exec() and pass to it a function pointer which is called in
the child before the final exec. In the netns exec case the function just
resets the VRF and switches netns.

Doing it in the child is less error prone and safer, because the parent
environment is always kept unaltered.

After this refactor some utility functions became unused, so remove them.

[PATCH iproute2 v2 2/3] ip vrf: use hook to change VRF in the child

[Matteo Croce]

On vrf exec, reset the VRF associations in the child process, via the
new hook added to cmd_exec(). In this way, the parent doesn't have to
reset the VRF associations before spawning other processes.

[PATCH iproute2 v2 3/3] netns: make netns_{save,restore} static

[Matteo Croce]

The netns_{save,restore} functions are only used in ipnetns.c now, since
the restore is not needed anymore after the netns exec command.
Move them in ipnetns.c, and make them static.

red               1001

Set shell into vrf red context:
# ip vrf exec red bash

Add new namespace and do netns exec:
# ip netns  add foo
# ./ip netns exec foo bash

Check the vrf id:
# ip vrf id
red

Hi David,

if the vrf needs to be reset after a netns change, why don't we do in
netns_switch()?
This way all code paths will be covered.

Hi David,

I looked for every occourrence of netns_switch():

bridge/bridge.c:                        if (netns_switch(argv[1]))
include/namespace.h:int netns_switch(char *netns);
ip/ip.c:                        if (netns_switch(argv[1]))
ip/ipnetns.c:   if (netns_switch(argv[0]))
lib/namespace.c:int netns_switch(char *name)
lib/utils.c:    if (netns_switch(nsname))
misc/ss.c:                      if (netns_switch(optarg))
tc/tc.c:                        if (netns_switch(argv[1]))

the ones in {ss,tc,bridge,ip}.c are obviously handling the '-n netns'
command line option.
my question here is: should the VRF association be reset in all these cases?
If we need to reset, we should really call vrf_reset() from netns_switch().
If don't, I can add the missing vrf_reset() in ipnetns.c but I'm
curious to know what can happen to change netns and keep VRF
associations belonging to another netns.

The VRF reset is needed on a netns exec - ie., running a command in a
network namespace.

Any netns_switch that only involves sending a netlink command in a
different namespace does not need the reset.

Ok, applied.

Hi all,

this should really be the v3, I did an off-by-one.

[PATCH iproute2 v2 0/3] refactor the cmd_exec()

[Matteo Croce]

Refactor the netns and ipvrf code so less steps are needed to exec commands
in a netns or a VRF context.
Also remove some code which became dead. bloat-o-meter shows a tiny saving.

Matteo Croce (3):
  netns: switch netns in the child when executing commands
  ip vrf: use hook to change VRF in the child
  netns: make netns_{save,restore} static
