[PATCH RFC net-next 0/4] fib_rules: support sport, dport and proto match

From: Roopa Prabhu <hidden>
Date: 2018-02-11 22:26:36

From: Roopa Prabhu <redacted>

This series extends fib rule match support to include sport, dport
and ip proto match (to complete the 5-tuple match support).
Common use-cases of Policy based routing in the data center require
5-tuple match. The last 2 patches in the series add a call to flow dissect
in the fwd path if required by the installed fib rules (controlled by a flag).

Roopa Prabhu (4):
  ipv4: fib_rules: support match on sport, dport and ip proto
  ipv6: fib6_rules: support for match on sport, dport and ip proto
  ipv4: route: dissect flow in input path if fib rules need it
  ipv6: route: dissect flow in input path if fib rules need it

------
sending this as RFC for first review (as net-next is closed)

[PATCH RFC net-next 3/4] ipv4: route: dissect flow in input path if fib rules need it

From: Roopa Prabhu <hidden>
Date: 2018-02-11 22:26:38

From: Roopa Prabhu <redacted>

Dissect flow in fwd path if fib rules require it. Controlled by
a flag to avoid penatly for the common case. Flag is set when fib
rules with sport, dport and proto match that require flow dissect
are installed. Also passes the dissected hash keys to the multipath
hash function when applicable to avoid dissecting the flow again.
icmp packets will continue to use inner header for hash
calculations (Thanks to Nikolay Aleksandrov for some review here).

This series extends fib rule match support to include sport, dport
and ip proto match (to complete the 5-tuple match support).
Common use-cases of Policy based routing in the data center require
5-tuple match. The last 2 patches in the series add a call to flow dissect
in the fwd path if required by the installed fib rules (controlled by a flag).

No major objections from me.

We had project/teams using different routing tables for each vlan they
setup :/

Setups with tunnels are doubly impacted, it is really easy to reach 20
evaluated rules per incoming and outgoing packet.

Indeed, people use FIB rules and think they can scale in software.  As
currently implemented, they can't.

The example you give sounds possibly like a great VRF use case btw :-)

thanks for all the feedback so far.


replying to all the discussions on this thread so far here :):
- like davidA mentioned, we will be hardware offloading this. And the
most common hw offload case requires a 5-tuple match

- This series just extends the existing match options for people to
use the existing api if they choose too (with a performance penalty)
         - the main problem was telling people ...'oh, u cannot use ip
rules just because it does not support match on sport and so on and
there is no other way to do policy based routing on Linux'

- Regardless of this series, I think we should optimize ip rules or
have a new implementation of policy based routing. happy to hear about
possible options here:
         - optimize the existing implementation (have there been
previous discussions on possible options ?)
         - @netdev2.2, I did outline a possible option for tc to
provide an l3 hook for policy based routing (people were ok with this
and I was told more tc hooks were in the works).
            tc was a choice mainly because of all its existing match
options (flower for example). Will that help ?
         - We should have an ebpf accelerated implementation
regardless for people to use it if they want to scale rules

- Regardless of this series, I think we should optimize ip rules or
have a new implementation of policy based routing. happy to hear about
possible options here:
         - optimize the existing implementation (have there been
previous discussions on possible options ?)
         - @netdev2.2, I did outline a possible option for tc to
provide an l3 hook for policy based routing (people were ok with this
and I was told more tc hooks were in the works).
            tc was a choice mainly because of all its existing match
options (flower for example). Will that help ?
         - We should have an ebpf accelerated implementation
regardless for people to use it if they want to scale rules

The problem is that arbitrary prefixing in the rules.  That prevents
O(1) algorithms from being used to maintain the table.

If they were all just non-prefixed keys we could do a hash table or
similar.

I guess we could do a trie (on saddr) to a (on daddr) trie (like the
ipv6 subtrees do), but that's a lot of complexity just for fib rules.

ah, got it.

agreed.

We had project/teams using different routing tables for each vlan they
setup :/

Indeed, people use FIB rules and think they can scale in software.  As
currently implemented, they can't.

The example you give sounds possibly like a great VRF use case btw :-)

I'm one of those people with lots of FIB rules wishing it would scale
better, and wanting a routing table per netdev.

If there is a relatively easy suggestion to make this work better, I'd
like to give it a try.  I have not looked at VRF at all to date...

Thanks,
Ben
