[PATCH v2 0/3] src: trace infrastructure support

[PATCH v2 0/3] src: trace infrastructure support

[Florian Westphal]

This is V2 of the nft trace patch set.

See the individual patches for a change vs. v1 description.

Patrick: I did a quick test w. your last public patches
(plus a few minor changes to make it build again) and things
seem to work fine.

What does not work correctly is decoding of vlan header.
I think whats happening is that we cannot splice sub-byte
sized quantities from a larger chunk.

Other than that, things appear to work correctly.

Cheers,
Florian

[PATCH v2 libnftnl 1/3] src: add trace infrastructure support

[Florian Westphal]

parses trace monitor netlink messages from the kernel and builds
nftnl_trace struct that contains the dissected information.

Provides getters to access these attributes.

 Changes since v1:
  - removed all printf support, not needed by Patricks nft patch
  - adjust for changed NFTA_TRACE* kernel attributes
  - VERDICT is now nested, so treat it accordingly
  - removed TRANSPORTPROTO, seems its not needed at this time
  - add NFTNL_TRACE_QUEUE_ID to obtain nfqueue number
  - NF_VERDICT is normalized in this case, i.e.
  if verdict from kernel is '42 << 16 | NF_QUEUE', make
  NF_QUEUE the verdict and put the queue number ->queue_id, accessible
  via NFTNL_TRACE_QUEUE_ID.

This doesn't handle NF_DROP_ERRNO() codes. I would suggest using
nftnl_parse_verdict() and struct nftnl_data_reg so we have a common
interface for verdicts. Mid term I'd prefer if we pass around verdict
structs and have an interface for those instead of having
IMM_VERDICT/IMM_CHAIN, SET_ELEM_VERDICT/SET_ELEM_CHAIN, ...

Regarding the NFTNL_TRACE_QUEUE_ID, I'm not convinced this is a good
way to go. We'd need another NFTNL_TRACE_DROP_VERDICT_ERRNO or something
like that, and the user needs to make another distinction on which further
attributes to get based on the verdict itself. It seems easier to just
decode it in the user and don't try to put too much knowledge in the
library, it's after all just meant for communication.

[PATCH v2 nf-next 2/3] netfilter: nf_tables: extend tracing infrastructure

[Florian Westphal]

nft monitor mode can then decode and display this trace data.

Parts of LL/Network/Transport headers are provided as separate
attributes.

Otherwise, printing IP address data becomes virtually impossible
for userspace since in the case of the netdev family we really don't
want userspace to have to know all the possible link layer types
and/or sizes just to display/print an ip address.

We also don't want userspace to have to follow ipv6 header chains
to get the s/dport info, the kernel already did this work for us.

 Changes since v1:
  - move trace into new file, nf_tables_trace.c (Pablo)
  - add new netlink group for trace messages (Pablo, Patrick)
  - make verdict nested attr (Patrick)
  - add percpu area to store current processed skb id
  (suggested by Patrick)
  - fold arguments to nft_trace_notify into a structure,
  nft_traceinfo.  This would allow easier extension later
  on, e.g. ptr to registers to e.g. log NFT_BREAK/mismatch
  as well.

We usually use "struct sk_buff *skb, int attr, ...". I know int is actually
not the correct type but that's what all the nla_ functions use. Let's keep
it consistent please.

Also consistent style please, all structs in that file indent the field
names neatly and they are usually also commented.

We unfortunately don't get the actual policy this way. I know we don't
have a verdict struct available, but would be nice to fix this.

I think we might also need the OIFTYPE and the hook number for full coverage.
On the output path we don't have an iif but still might have an LL header.

I think we also need the netfilter family here. We get pkt->pf, but that
might differ from the table/chain family in case of NFPROTO_INET. Right
now we get IPv4/v6 and are unable to look up any objects since we're searching
in the wrong family.

So we're using a global counter to initialize the per CPU vars? That doesn't
seem to make sense. I was thinking about partitioning the ID space among
CPUs in advance, this global counter kind of defeats using per CPU at all.

Ok I think I see what you're doing here, you want a stable ID while the
packet is processed. The problem is we can not really guarantee that for
the output path with involuntary preemption, between different hook
invocations another packet might come along.

I actually didn't consider that we need to get the same ID multiple times
when I suggested the per CPU counter, I was only thinking about getting a
non-clashing ID *once*. I think we need to come up with a different idea,
sorry about that.

Suggestions?  Should I add a new attribute or pretend policy was a
verdict? (i.e., add fake verdict struct and set verdict code to policy)?

Okay. Any preference on how to do this?
I.e, should I include OIFTYPE only if no indev is available?

Alternatives would be to include both and let userspace decide
or use more generic DEV_TYPE attr that is set to indev->type,
and, if no indev is there, outdev->type?

Good point, will add NFTA_TRACE_FAMILY

Yes, that was the idea -- which is why v1 used hash_ptr(skb)

Yes.

Oh.  What would be the purpose of that?
The idea was to allow to easily figure out which trace messages belong
to the same packet. (i.e., don't make it difficult to dissect events
from different packets being processed on other cpus...)

> I think we need to come up with a different idea,
> sorry about that.

Hmm, in that case I have no idea how to fix this, sorry.
Only *stable* id is hashing skb address, but as you pointed out
that causes fast id reuse

(I think that would be ok, since its good enough to tell
 near-simultaneous trace events apart).

I don't see any other alternative right now.

One of both *seems* fine. If we have an iif, the header is still based
on the received packet. If we only have an oif, the header, if present,
will be based on that type, so I think that should work.

Actually thinking about that, all the other nftables messages use the
netfilter family for nfgen_family, so for consistency we should do that
as well and put pkt->pf in the new attribute.

Yeah, I didn't consider that we need to get the same identifier in
multiple hook invocations.

I also don't have a better suggestion right now. We could try to find
additional skb members that are stable within netfilter, but other than
that I have no better ideas.

nla_reserve()? That will also take care of zeroing the padding.

min_t(unsigned int, -off, NFT_TRACETYPE_LL_HSIZE) ?

Why the min_t at all if we fail on != ETH_HLEN? I'd simply check that
it is exactly ETH_HLEN before even starting copying.

nla_put() already checks the tailroom.

Could again avoid the double calculation by using -off in min_t().

I would not move simple stuff that is only used once like this to another

Good point, I removed min test completely and changed it to:

    int off;

    BUILD_BUG_ON(NFT_TRACETYPE_LL_HSIZE < ETH_HLEN);

    off = skb_mac_header(skb) - skb->data;
    if (len != -ETH_HLEN)
            return -1;

Ok, open-coded this instead.

[PATCH v2 nf-next 3/3] netfilter: nf_tables: wrap tracing with a static key

[Florian Westphal]

Only needed when meta nftrace rule(s) were added.

Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
---
 Changes since v1:
  - do not wrap rulenum++ into static key, because
  it might get incremented too late when trace
  rules are added/removed at high rate, giving wrong results.
  - add EXPORT_SYMBOL for nft_meta_set_destroy.

 There was another followup patch to disable old tracing
 infrastructure, but I dropped this for now.

 So, for the time being, you get both tracing formats.

 Should be easy to add sysctl later on to disable the old
 format.

Just an observation so far: this really bloats nft_do_chain(), in my
compilation it adds 655 bytes and inlines all the tracing stuff multiple
times into critical spots. We really need to get this down.

First simple and easy attempt was the attached patch, it brings it down
to only +236b. But I think we can still do better.

One idea would be to wrap the local state in a struct. That way we
can pass all of it together using a single pointer. For that We could
use the current jump stack frame to hold also the *current* chain and
rule pointers if we can make sure the compiler will still use registers
for the current ones.

The nft_trace_notify() invocation should probably be moved to
__nft_trace_packet() and if still necessary that should be marked
noinline.

Just a couple of ideas for a start. We really need to avoid bloating
these critical loops.

Thanks, I have it running, will start making the missing adaptions now.

It does work for IPv4 (version/hdrlength), but they don't cross byte
boundaries, maybe its related to that. I'll check it out.

Very nice, thanks!

I've managed to decode it properly, so the kernel part is fine:

ether saddr 63:f6:4b:00:54:52 ether daddr c9:4b:a9:00:54:52 vlan pcp 0 vlan cfi 0 vlan id 1000 vlan type ip ip saddr 10.0.0.1 ip daddr 10.0.0.2 ip tos 0 ip ttl 64 ip id 61847 ip length 84 icmp type echo-request icmp code 0 icmp id 29049 icmp sequence 4267 icmp type 61 icmp code 177 icmp id 0 icmp sequence 0 icmp type 116 icmp code 211

There are a number of problems however. The easy one is wrong header
definitions in nft, also my decoding is a bit hackish so far and occasionally
causes endless loops, I'll fix that.

The somewhat bigger problem are some inconsistencies. Usually we can see
the original lower layer header on the receive path in the higher layers,
f.i. the ethernet header. With VLAN offloading this doesn't work since we
loose the meta data once the packet has been received through the VLAN code.
This means we'll just see a regular ethernet header.

This does not only affect tracing, but anything that wants to access that
header. Its not a *huge* problem, but it is unexpected for the user,
especially since he is able to treat the offloaded header like a regular
VLAN header before "decapsulation".

I have no good suggestion what to do about that. The information in the skb
is gone. The only possibility I can think of is to reconstruct (most of) it
based on the incoming device, the known upper protocol and skb->priority,
but that's quite ugly.

GIT: [PATCH v3 0/3] netfilter trace infrastructure support

[Florian Westphal]

3rd round.

See the individual patches for changelog vs. V 2.

Patrick: Nothing fancy from libnftnl side, just the 3 new attributes
(oiftype, nfproto, policy).

On kernel side I addressed all of the comments.

In case of NFPROTO_INET, the new NFTA_TRACE_NFPROTO will be 'NFPROTO_IPV4'
(or IPV6), the netlink header family is set to NFPROTO_INET.

I tried to reduce nft_do_chain bloat, +80 on my system.
We have one unconditional foo = false assignment, all nftrace calls
are avoided in 'no trace rules set' case via static key.

Let me know if you spot more problems.

Thanks,
Florian

[PATCH v2 nf-next 2/3] netfilter: nf_tables: extend tracing infrastructure

[Florian Westphal]

nft monitor mode can then decode and display this trace data.

Parts of LL/Network/Transport headers are provided as separate
attributes.

Otherwise, printing IP address data becomes virtually impossible
for userspace since in the case of the netdev family we really don't
want userspace to have to know all the possible link layer types
and/or sizes just to display/print an ip address.

We also don't want userspace to have to follow ipv6 header chains
to get the s/dport info, the kernel already did this work for us.

To avoid bloating nft_do_chain all data required for tracing is
encapsulated in nft_traceinfo.

The structure is initialized unconditionally(!) for each nft_do_chain
invocation.

This unconditionall call will be moved under a static key in a
followup patch.

With lots of help from Patrick McHardy and Pablo Neira.

Changes since v2:
 - set nfgen_family to the rule family, not pkt->pf.
   To get the 'logical' family (e.g. NFPROTO_INET), we
   keep basechain ptr in nft_traceinfo struct.
 - export oif type, policy and pkt->pf
 - miniminze bloating of nft_do_chain
 - revert to a simpler id for now, based on skb address and
   rx hash
 - several cosmetic changes

 Changes since v1:
  - move trace into new file, nf_tables_trace.c (Pablo)
  - add new netlink group for trace messages (Pablo, Patrick)
  - make verdict nested attr (Patrick)
  - add percpu area to store current processed skb id
  (suggested by Patrick)
  - fold arguments to nft_trace_notify into a structure,
  nft_traceinfo.  This would allow easier extension later
  on, e.g. ptr to registers to e.g. log NFT_BREAK/mismatch
  as well.
