From: David Ahern <dsah...@gmail.com> Commit cd9ff4de0107 changed the key for IFF_POINTOPOINT devices to INADDR_ANY, but neigh_xmit which is used for MPLS encapsulations was not updated to use the altered key. The result is that every packet Tx does a lookup on the gateway address which does not find an entry, a new one is created only to find the existing one in the table right before the insert since arp_constructor was updated to reset the primary key. This is seen in the allocs and destroys counters: ip -s -4 ntable show | head -10 | grep alloc
which increase for each packet showing the unnecessary overhread. Fix by having neigh_xmit use __ipv4_neigh_lookup_noref for NEIGH_ARP_TABLE. Define __ipv4_neigh_lookup_noref in case CONFIG_INET is not set. v2 - define __ipv4_neigh_lookup_noref in case CONFIG_INET is not set as reported by kbuild test robot Fixes: cd9ff4de0107 ("ipv4: Make neigh lookup keys for loopback/point-to-point devices be INADDR_ANY") Reported-by: Alan Maguire <alan.magu...@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsah...@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsah...@gmail.com> --- include/net/arp.h | 8 ++++++++ net/core/neighbour.c | 9 ++++++++- 2 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/include/net/arp.h b/include/net/arp.h index 977aabfcdc03..c8f580a0e6b1 100644 --- a/include/net/arp.h +++ b/include/net/arp.h @@ -18,6 +18,7 @@ static inline u32 arp_hashfn(const void *pkey, const struct net_device *dev, u32 return val * hash_rnd[0]; } +#ifdef CONFIG_INET static inline struct neighbour *__ipv4_neigh_lookup_noref(struct net_device *dev, u32 key) { if (dev->flags & (IFF_LOOPBACK | IFF_POINTOPOINT)) @@ -25,6 +26,13 @@ static inline struct neighbour *__ipv4_neigh_lookup_noref(struct net_device *dev return ___neigh_lookup_noref(&arp_tbl, neigh_key_eq32, arp_hashfn, &key, dev); } +#else +static inline +struct neighbour *__ipv4_neigh_lookup_noref(struct net_device *dev, u32 key) +{ + return NULL; +} +#endif static inline struct neighbour *__ipv4_neigh_lookup(struct net_device *dev, u32 key) { diff --git a/net/core/neighbour.c b/net/core/neighbour.c index 30f6fd8f68e0..0ba5018ccb7f 100644 --- a/net/core/neighbour.c +++ b/net/core/neighbour.c @@ -31,6 +31,7 @@ #include <linux/times.h> #include <net/net_namespace.h> #include <net/neighbour.h> +#include <net/arp.h> #include <net/dst.h> #include <net/sock.h> #include <net/netevent.h> @@ -2982,7 +2983,13 @@ int neigh_xmit(int index, struct net_device *dev, if (!tbl) goto out; rcu_read_lock_bh(); - neigh = __neigh_lookup_noref(tbl, addr, dev); + if (index == NEIGH_ARP_TABLE) { + u32 key = *((u32 *)addr); + + neigh = __ipv4_neigh_lookup_noref(dev, key); + } else { + neigh = __neigh_lookup_noref(tbl, addr, dev); + } if (!neigh) neigh = __neigh_create(tbl, addr, dev, false); err = PTR_ERR(neigh); -- 2.11.0
