[PATCH net-next v3 0/6] bridge: Add a limit on learned FDB entries

[PATCH net-next v3 0/6] bridge: Add a limit on learned FDB entries

[Johannes Nixdorf]

Introduce a limit on the amount of learned FDB entries on a bridge,
configured by netlink with a build time default on bridge creation in
the kernel config.

For backwards compatibility the kernel config default is disabling the
limit (0).

Without any limit a malicious actor may OOM a kernel by spamming packets
with changing MAC addresses on their bridge port, so allow the bridge
creator to limit the number of entries.

Currently the manual entries are identified by the bridge flags
BR_FDB_LOCAL or BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_USER, atomically bundled under the new
flag BR_FDB_DYNAMIC_LEARNED. This means the limit also applies to
entries created with BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_EXT_LEARN but none of BR_FDB_LOCAL
or BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_USER, e.g. ones added by SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE.

Changes since v2:
 - Fixed the flags for fdb_create in fdb_add_entry to use
   BIT(...). Previously we passed garbage. (from review)
 - Set strict_start_type for br_policy. (from review)
 - Split out the combined accounting and limit patch, and the netlink
   patch from the combined patch in v2. (from review)
 - Count atomically, remove the newly introduced lock. (from review)
 - Added the new attributes to br_policy. (from review)
 - Added a selftest for the new feature. (from review)

Changes since v1:
 - Added BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_USER earlier in fdb_add_entry to ensure the
   limit is not applied.
 - Do not initialize fdb_*_entries to 0. (from review)
 - Do not skip decrementing on 0. (from review)
 - Moved the counters to a conditional hole in struct net_bridge to
   avoid growing the struct. (from review, it still grows the struct as
   there are 2 32-bit values)
 - Add IFLA_BR_FDB_CUR_LEARNED_ENTRIES (from review)
 - Fix br_get_size() with the added attributes.
 - Only limit learned entries, rename to
   *_(CUR|MAX)_LEARNED_ENTRIES. (from review)
 - Added a default limit in Kconfig. (deemed acceptable in review
   comments, helps with embedded use-cases where a special purpose kernel
   is built anyways)
 - Added an iproute2 patch for easier testing.

Obsolete v1 review comments:
 - Return better errors to users: Due to limiting the limit to
   automatically created entries, netlink fdb add requests and changing
   bridge ports are never rejected, so they do not yet need a more
   friendly error returned.

[PATCH net-next v3 1/6] net: bridge: Set BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_USER early in fdb_add_entry

[Johannes Nixdorf]

In preparation of the following fdb limit for dynamically learned entries,
allow fdb_create to detect that the entry was added by the user. This
way it can skip applying the limit in this case.

Please try to wrap your code at 80 chars. Also:

## Form letter - net-next-closed

The merge window for v6.6 has begun and therefore net-next is closed
for new drivers, features, code refactoring and optimizations.
We are currently accepting bug fixes only.

Please repost when net-next reopens after Sept 11th.

RFC patches sent for review only are obviously welcome at any time.

[PATCH net-next v3 3/6] net: bridge: Track and limit dynamically learned FDB entries

[Johannes Nixdorf]

A malicious actor behind one bridge port may spam the kernel with packets
with a random source MAC address, each of which will create an FDB entry,
each of which is a dynamic allocation in the kernel.

There are roughly 2^48 different MAC addresses, further limited by the
rhashtable they are stored in to 2^31. Each entry is of the type struct
net_bridge_fdb_entry, which is currently 128 bytes big. This means the
maximum amount of memory allocated for FDB entries is 2^31 * 128B =
256GiB, which is too much for most computers.

Mitigate this by maintaining a per bridge count of those automatically
generated entries in fdb_n_learned_entries, and a limit in
fdb_max_learned_entries. If the limit is hit new entries are not learned
anymore.

For backwards compatibility the default setting of 0 disables the limit.

User-added entries by netlink or from bridge or bridge port addresses
are never blocked and do not count towards that limit.

Introduce a new fdb entry flag BR_FDB_DYNAMIC_LEARNED to keep track of
whether an FDB entry is included in the count. The flag is enabled for
dynamically learned entries, and disabled for all other entries. This
should be equivalent to BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_USER and BR_FDB_LOCAL being unset,
but contrary to the two flags it can be toggled atomically.

Atomicity is required here, as there are multiple callers that modify the
flags, but are not under a common lock (br_fdb_update is the exception
for br->hash_lock, br_fdb_external_learn_add for RTNL).

this is racy with br_fdb_update(), the fdb entry is still visible

[PATCH net-next v3 4/6] net: bridge: Add netlink knobs for number / max learned FDB entries

[Johannes Nixdorf]

The previous patch added accounting and a limit for the number of
dynamically learned FDB entries per bridge. However it did not provide
means to actually configure those bounds or read back the count. This
patch does that.

Two new netlink attributes are added for the accounting and limit of
dynamically learned FDB entries:
 - IFLA_BR_FDB_N_LEARNED_ENTRIES (RO) for the number of entries accounted
   for a single bridge.
 - IFLA_BR_FDB_MAX_LEARNED_ENTRIES (RW) for the configured limit of
   entries for the bridge.

The new attributes are used like this:

 # ip link add name br up type bridge fdb_max_learned_entries 256
 # ip link add name v1 up master br type veth peer v2
 # ip link set up dev v2
 # mausezahn -a rand -c 1024 v2
 0.01 seconds (90877 packets per second
 # bridge fdb | grep -v permanent | wc -l
 256
 # ip -d link show dev br

[PATCH net-next v3 5/6] net: bridge: Add a configurable default FDB learning limit

[Johannes Nixdorf]

Add a Kconfig option to configure a default FDB learning limit system
wide, so a distributor building a special purpose kernel can limit all
created bridges by default.

The limit is only a soft default setting and overrideable on a per bridge
basis using netlink.

[PATCH net-next v3 6/6] selftests: forwarding: bridge_fdb_learning_limit: Add a new selftest

[Johannes Nixdorf]

Add a suite covering the fdb_n_learned_entries and fdb_max_learned_entries
bridge features, touching all special cases in accounting at least once.

Please add it to the Makefile so it gets run by automation.
