[PATCH net-next 0/5] net: ethtool: make netdev_rss_key_fill() spread flows over all queues

[PATCH net-next 0/5] net: ethtool: make netdev_rss_key_fill() spread flows over all queues

[Eric Dumazet]

netdev_rss_key_fill() hands drivers a uniformly random key. Because the
Toeplitz hash is linear over GF(2), a random key is singular for a given
header field and queue count with probability 1/2: flows differing only
in the low order bits of that field (such as a burst of consecutive
ephemeral ports) then cannot reach all RX queues. On one affected 16-queue
host, only 4 queues received traffic until the key was replaced.

Patch 1 synchronizes proc_do_rss_key() with netdev_rss_key_fill() using an
smp_wmb()/smp_rmb() pair and a boolean flag so readers of
/proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key print zero bytes until the key is fully
populated.

Patch 2 keeps the key random but constrains 1008 of its 2048 bits so that,
at every 16-bit aligned position and for every power-of-two queue count up
to 256, consecutive values of a field ending there visit every queue once.
Applying the fixup on the 16-bit grid covers standard 2-tuple/4-tuple
hashes as well as encapsulated or bitmap-selected layouts (such as PSP
inner TCP ports at byte 78) without enumerating them in the core. The
fixup is a bijection onto the set of valid keys, and redraws in the ~1 in
5 case where two 32-bit windows a multiple of 8 bits apart alias.

Patch 3 adds a KUnit suite verifying full rank across standard and
encapsulated fields, the full 16-bit grid, window non-aliasing, and
end-to-end flow spreading.

Patches 4 and 5 add kselftests for keys on a running system: patch 4
checks /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key, and patch 5 checks the live RSS
key and indirection table reported by a device via ethtool.

[PATCH net-next 1/5] net: synchronize proc_do_rss_key() with netdev_rss_key_fill()

[Eric Dumazet]

proc_do_rss_key() reads netdev_rss_key[] without synchronization, so a
concurrent reader of /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key can observe a
partially populated key while netdev_rss_key_fill() is initializing it.

Publish a boolean flag after an smp_wmb() once netdev_rss_key_fill() has
populated netdev_rss_key[], and pair it with an smp_rmb() in
proc_do_rss_key(), printing zero bytes until the flag is set.

Maybe we should call netdev_rss_key_fill() from the proc handler
and let the net_get_random_once() handle the safe init?

IMHO the concern is entirely academic / hallucinated so adding
LoC for it feels strange

Sashiko raised this issue while reviewing the second patch:

Apparently the potential redraws in netdev_rss_key_init() was enough
to flag a bug in netdev_rss_key_init(), without noting this was a
pre-existing one.

[PATCH net-next 2/5] net: ethtool: generate RSS keys that spread flows over all queues

[Eric Dumazet]

netdev_rss_key_fill() returns a key made of uniformly random bytes. That
is not enough, because the Toeplitz hash is linear over GF(2).

Walking the hash input MSB first, each set bit contributes a 32-bit
sliding window of the key, and hardware indexes the indirection table with
the low order bits of the result. Only the tail of each window therefore
reaches the queue index:

	v(i) = key bits [i + 32 - q .. i + 31]

with q = log2(number of RX queues). Consecutive input bits give windows
overlapping in q - 1 positions, so the q vectors belonging to the q lowest
bits of a header field form a Toeplitz matrix built from 2 * q - 1 key
bits, rather than q * q independent ones. Over GF(2) a random Toeplitz
matrix is singular with probability exactly 1/2, whatever its size.

When it is singular, flows differing only in the low order bits of that
field cannot reach all the queues. This is not theoretical: a burst of
connections draws ephemeral ports from a narrow range, and on one affected
host only 4 of the 16 RX queues received any traffic at all, until its key
was replaced.

Keep drawing the key at random, since it is a secret that stops a remote
attacker from steering flows onto a single queue, but force the handful of
bits that decide this. Writing d[t] for key bit (lsb + 31 - t), where lsb
is the position of the least significant bit of a field in the hash input,
the matrices of all the q values up to 8 are non singular if and only if

	d[2 * i] = 1 ^ d[i] ^ d[i + 1] ^ ... ^ d[2 * i - 1]

The odd positions stay free, so this is a one pass fixup rather than a
search. It is in fact a bijection from those free positions onto the set
of the values having the property, so the key stays uniformly distributed
over that set and the whole cost is 8 bits of entropy per position.
Searching for such a key by rejection would not have been an option: a
freshly drawn one has the property everywhere with probability 2^-1008.

Apply this at every 16-bit aligned position of the key, rather than at the
offsets of the 2-tuple and 4-tuple layouts only. The core does not get to
know what a given NIC hashes. Hardware may select the bytes it feeds to
Toeplitz out of a header window with a bitmap, and hash an encapsulated
header: for PSP over UDP over IPv6 it can pick the outer addresses and the
inner TCP ports, which sit 78 bytes into the frame and read key bits well
past the 40 bytes an IPv6 4-tuple needs. Hashed fields are 16 bits wide at
the smallest and are not expected to straddle that grid, so covering the
grid covers the layouts that were never written down, at no cost in code.

This spends 8 bits of entropy per position, 1008 bits out of the 2048 bits
of netdev_rss_key, leaving 1040 bits. 8 is also the largest usable bound,
as each q constrains 2 * q - 1 bits and anything larger would make the
ranges of two adjacent positions overlap.

What the fixup leaves behind is visible structure: 8 of every 16 bits are
derived from the 8 others, so a 16-bit aligned word of the key takes only
2^8 values and about 27 of the 128 words of netdev_rss_key duplicate
another one. That much is forced rather than an artefact of this
implementation, 1040 bits spread over 128 words being a little over 8 bits
each, but it has one consequence worth removing. Two 32-bit windows a
whole number of words apart now collide with probability 2^-16 instead of
2^-32, and two input bits reading the same window are indistinguishable to
the hash, since flipping both of them leaves it unchanged. Over 500 keys,
23% of them had such a pair, where a uniformly random key has one with
probability 2^-11.

So draw another key when that happens. Four out of five pass. Which
distances to look at follows from where the structure is: covering the
multiples of 16 leaves 1.2e-3 expected colliding pairs per key, still 2.6
times the 4.6e-4 of a plain random key, and almost all of that excess sits
at a distance of 8 modulo 16. Covering every multiple of 8 brings the total
down to 4.2e-4, below what a plain random key gives over all distances, and
within a few percent of the 4.0e-4 it gives over the distances that are
left.

Two windows a multiple of 8 bits apart are two windows at the same offset
modulo 8, so this is a handful of pairwise sweeps rather than one pass over
the key per distance. DO_ONCE() runs the generator under a spinlock with
hard IRQs disabled, so keep the windows of a class in an array rather than
recomputing both sides of every pair: 116 us instead of 254 us for the
worst case, a 2048-bit key with no collision anywhere, at a cost of 512
bytes of stack.

The shared key is fixed up once and every driver prefix inherits both
properties.

Checked against an independent Toeplitz implementation: for every 16-bit
aligned position and every q in 1..8, an aligned block of 2^q consecutive
values of a field ending there lands on the 2^q queues exactly once each.
Over 20 random keys that is 20160 checks, which 50.1% of plain random keys
fail and none of the generated keys do, for an average of 502 rewritten
bits out of 2048.

nit: perhaps we can move this to common.c or rss.c ?

[PATCH net-next 3/5] net: ethtool: add KUnit tests for the generated RSS key

[Eric Dumazet]

Check the property from the definition of the Toeplitz hash, independently
of the way netdev_rss_key_init() achieves it: an aligned block of 2^q
consecutive values of one field has to land on the 2^q queues exactly once
each.

Four checks and a control. rss_key_property_test() does the algebra for
the named fields of the usual hash inputs, rss_key_grid_test() sweeps every
16-bit aligned position of the key, since the generator does not get to
know the layout the hardware uses, and rss_key_spread_test() hashes the
inputs of an actual burst and looks at where they land. The control,
rss_key_checker_test(), feeds degenerate keys to the rank check so that a
check accepting everything cannot make the others pass.

rss_key_alias_test() covers the other half of what the generator promises,
that no two input bits read the same 32-bit key window and are therefore
indistinguishable to the hash. It sorts the windows instead of comparing
them pairwise, so unlike netdev_rss_key_init() it looks at every distance
rather than at the multiples of 16 alone.

The field table includes a PSP over UDP over IPv6 layout, whose inner TCP
ports sit far past the plain 4-tuple, because that is the case the offsets
of the standard layouts do not cover.

Commenting out the fixup makes three of the five cases fail and leaves the
control passing. Keeping the fixup but skipping the redraw fails
rss_key_alias_test alone.

Is this AI generated or do you think there's some genuine value here?
I don't want kunits which can be trivially re-generated during
development to be merged. But perhaps there's some genuine value in
this one?

I added all these tests because Willem wanted them in our internal bug entry :)

This can certainly be removed, although I have to find ways to launch
vng so that

[PATCH net-next 4/5] selftests: net: check the quality of the host RSS key

[Eric Dumazet]

Add a helper library for the property netdev_rss_key_fill() now provides,
and a test checking the key the running kernel has handed out, as seen in
/proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key.

The library reads back an RSS key and answers, for a position in the hash
input and a queue count, whether flows differing only in the low order bits
of a field ending there reach all the queues. It derives the position of
the named fields from the flow hash configuration rather than assuming a
4-tuple, so it describes 2-tuple hashing as well.

check_spread() uses that to report the named fields, and check_grid()
sweeps every 16-bit aligned position of the key, which is what the
generator actually promises and what a NIC hashing an encapsulated header
relies on.

This complements the KUnit tests of the generator: it does not know how the
key was made, only what it has to look like. The key is generated the first
time a driver asks for it, so the test skips on a machine whose NICs never
did.

[PATCH net-next 5/5] selftests: drivers: net: check the RSS key a device uses

[Eric Dumazet]

The host key is not the whole story: a driver may bring its own key, and
firmware sometimes installs one, in which case nothing the core does helps.

Read back the key and the indirection table the device reports and check
that flows differing only in the low order bits of one hashed field fill
that table, rather than a fraction of it. Both an algebraic check on the
key and a brute force pass hashing the 2 ** q inputs and placing them in
the table.

The fields checked come from the flow hash configuration of the device, so
a NIC hashing 2-tuples is described correctly, and flow types hashing
something we can not place are reported and skipped.

Let's fold the tests into one file under drivers/net/ (not hw)
and add to netdevsim the reporting that let's us exercise what we need.

Putting stuff in lib/ should be absolutely last resort.

netlink supports reporting hash config
