Merge branch 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/klassert/ipsec-next
Steffen Klassert says: ==================== pull request (net-next): ipsec-next 2018-07-27 1) Extend the output_mark to also support the input direction and masking the mark values before applying to the skb. 2) Add a new lookup key for the upcomming xfrm interfaces. 3) Extend the xfrm lookups to match xfrm interface IDs. 4) Add virtual xfrm interfaces. The purpose of these interfaces is to overcome the design limitations that the existing VTI devices have. The main limitations that we see with the current VTI are the following: VTI interfaces are L3 tunnels with configurable endpoints. For xfrm, the tunnel endpoint are already determined by the SA. So the VTI tunnel endpoints must be either the same as on the SA or wildcards. In case VTI tunnel endpoints are same as on the SA, we get a one to one correlation between the SA and the tunnel. So each SA needs its own tunnel interface. On the other hand, we can have only one VTI tunnel with wildcard src/dst tunnel endpoints in the system because the lookup is based on the tunnel endpoints. The existing tunnel lookup won't work with multiple tunnels with wildcard tunnel endpoints. Some usecases require more than on VTI tunnel of this type, for example if somebody has multiple namespaces and every namespace requires such a VTI. VTI needs separate interfaces for IPv4 and IPv6 tunnels. So when routing to a VTI, we have to know to which address family this traffic class is going to be encapsulated. This is a lmitation because it makes routing more complex and it is not always possible to know what happens behind the VTI, e.g. when the VTI is move to some namespace. VTI works just with tunnel mode SAs. We need generic interfaces that ensures transfomation, regardless of the xfrm mode and the encapsulated address family. VTI is configured with a combination GRE keys and xfrm marks. With this we have to deal with some extra cases in the generic tunnel lookup because the GRE keys on the VTI are actually not GRE keys, the GRE keys were just reused for something else. All extensions to the VTI interfaces would require to add even more complexity to the generic tunnel lookup. So to overcome this, we developed xfrm interfaces with the following design goal: It should be possible to tunnel IPv4 and IPv6 through the same interface. No limitation on xfrm mode (tunnel, transport and beet). Should be a generic virtual interface that ensures IPsec transformation, no need to know what happens behind the interface. Interfaces should be configured with a new key that must match a new policy/SA lookup key. The lookup logic should stay in the xfrm codebase, no need to change or extend generic routing and tunnel lookups. Should be possible to use IPsec hardware offloads of the underlying interface. 5) Remove xfrm pcpu policy cache. This was added after the flowcache removal, but it turned out to make things even worse. From Florian Westphal. 6) Allow to update the set mark on SA updates. From Nathan Harold. 7) Convert some timestamps to time64_t. From Arnd Bergmann. 8) Don't check the offload_handle in xfrm code, it is an opaque data cookie for the driver. From Shannon Nelson. 9) Remove xfrmi interface ID from flowi. After this pach no generic code is touched anymore to do xfrm interface lookups. From Benedict Wong. 10) Allow to update the xfrm interface ID on SA updates. From Nathan Harold. 11) Don't pass zero to ERR_PTR() in xfrm_resolve_and_create_bundle. From YueHaibing. 12) Return more detailed errors on xfrm interface creation. From Benedict Wong. 13) Use PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO instead of IS_ERR + PTR_ERR. From the kbuild test robot. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
