each collision in split_partition() (VPP-1458) A pointer to hash-ready ACL rules is only set once, which might cause a crash if there are colliding entries from more than one ACL applied. Solution: reload the pointer based on the element being processed.

2018-10-04acl-plugin: tuplemerge: avoid batch-resize of the applied entries vector - ↵Andrew Yourtchenko1-2/+6
VPP-1352 If the number of rules within a given partition exceeds the limit, the split_partition() might get called, in which we calculate the relaxed mask, create a new partition with that mask and attempt to reallocate some entries from the overcrowded partition. The non-TM code was pre-expanding the vector with rules by the number of rules in the new ACL being applied - which caused the split_partition() to iterate over the rules filled with zeroes. Most of the time it is benign, but if a newly created relaxed partition is such that these entries can be "relocated", then the code attempts to do so, which does not end well.

2018-09-25acl-plugin: optimize session idle timer checksAndrew Yourtchenko5-32/+93
This commit adds explicit signaling from a non-owning thread to the owning thread to restart the session timer as necessary. Consequently, we now can sweep the session lists at their respective timeouts, rather than sweeping all the lists at the pace of the shortest timeout value, just taking care to wake up if the session requeue to a different list results in needing to wake up earlier.

2018-06-27acl-plugin: tm: add tuplemerge algorithm for relaxing the hashtable masksAndrew Yourtchenko3-5/+625
Slightly refactored from the initial implementation of the TupleMerge [1] algorithm by Valerio Bruschi (valerio.bruschi@telecom-paristech.fr) [1] James Daly, Eric Torng "TupleMerge: Building Online Packet Classifiers by Omitting Bits", In Proc. IEEE ICCCN 2017, pp. 1-10 Also add startup parameters to turn on/off the algorithm ("use tuple merge 1/0"), and a startup parameter to be able to tweak the split threshold ("tuple merge split threshold N"), the default value of the split threshold is 39 as per paper, but some more tuning might be necessary to find the best value. This change, alongside with the optimizations which avoid extra lookups, significantly reduces the slowdown on the ClassBench generated ACLs, which are supposed to resemble realistic ACLs seen in use in the field.

2018-06-26acl-plugin: tm: optimize multi-lookups and prepare to add tuplemergeAndrew Yourtchenko6-252/+456
- instantiate the per-use mask type entry for a given hash ACE this prepares to adding tuplemerge where the applied ACE may have a different mask type due to relaxing of the tuples - store the vector of the colliding rules for linear lookups rather than traversing the linked list. - store the lowest rule index for a given mask type inside the structure. This allows to skip looking up at the later mask types if we already matched an entry that is in front of the very first entry in the new candidate mask type, thus saving a worthless hash table lookup. - use a vector of mask type indices rather than bitmap, in the sorted order (by construction) of ascending lowest rule index - this allows to terminate the lookups early. - adapt the debug cli outputs accordingly to show the data - propagate the is_ip6 into the inner calls Change-Id: I7a67b271e66785c6eab738b632b432d5886a0a8a Signed-off-by: Andrew Yourtchenko <ayourtch@gmail.com>

in more than one C file Including the exports.h from multiple .c files belonging to a single plugin results in an error. Rework the approach to require the table of function pointers to be filled in by the initialization function. Since the inline functions are compiled in the "caller" context, there is no knowledge about the acl_main structure used by the ACL plugin. To help with that, the signature of inline functions is slightly different, taking the p_acl_main pointer as the first parameter. That pointer is filled into the .p_acl_main field of the method table during the initialization - since the calling of non-inline variants would have required filling the method table, this should give minimal headaches during the use and switch between the two methods.

contiguous with L4 data Using ip46_address_t was convenient from operational point of view but created some difficulties dealing with IPv4 addresses - the extra 3x of u32 padding are costly, and the "holes" mean we can not use the smaller key-value data structures for the lookup. This commit changes the 5tuple layout for the IPv4 case, such that the src/dst addresses directly precede the L4 information. That will allow to treat the same data within 40x8 key-value structure as a 16x8 key-value structure starting with 24 byte offset.

Use this ID to initialize the sessions. - improve the maintainability of the session linked list structures by using symbolic bogus index name instead of ~0 - change the ordering of session creations - first reverse, then local. To minimize the potential for two workers competing for the same session in the corner case of the two packets on different workers creating the same logical session - reduce the maximum session count to keep the memory usage the same - add extra log/debug/trace to session cleaning logic - be more aggressive with cleaning up sessions - wind up the interrupts from the workers to themselves if there is more work to do Change-Id: I3aa1c91a925a08e83793467cb15bda178c21e426 Signed-off-by: Andrew Yourtchenko <ayourtch@gmail.com>

clib_bihash_search_40_8 for session lookups Use inline version rather than calling the function, this gives slightly better performance. The straighforward diff uncovered an interesting problem: the stateful ACL IPv4 unit tests would fail for the "make test" but succeed in "make test-debug". Also, they would succeed even in "make test", if before calling the clib_bihash_search_inline_2_40_8 we would change the code to store the key in a temporary variable. Debugging revealed that the generated optimized code is not what one would expect: the zeroing of the u64s overlaying the memcpy into ipv4 value of ip46_address_t made the optimizer not notice the latter, and think that those fields should be always zero in the bihash, thus generating incorrect assembly for the bihash key comparison for the ipv4 nodes. Changing the zeroing to be non-overlapping by zeroing only the pad fields resulted in the optimizer generating the correct code and the tests pass.

2018-05-26acl-plugin: create forward and return sessions in lieu of making a special ↵Andrew Yourtchenko5-121/+156
per-packet session key Using a separate session key has proven to be tricky for the following reasons: - it's a lot of storage to have what looks to be nearly identical to 5tuple, just maybe with some fields swapped - shuffling the fields from 5tuple adds to memory pressure - the fact that the fields do not coincide with the packet memory means for any staged processing we need to use up a lot of memory Thus, just add two entries into the bihash table pointing to the same session entry, so we could match the packets from either direction. With this we have the key layout of L3 info (which takes up the majority of space for IPv6 case) the same as in the packet, thus, opening up the possibility for other optimizations. Not having to create and store a separate session key should also give us a small performance win in itself. Also, add the routine to show the session bihash in a better way than a bunch of numbers. Alas, the memory usage in the bihash obviously doubles. Change-Id: I8fd2ed4714ad7fc447c4fa224d209bc0b736b371 Signed-off-by: Andrew Yourtchenko <ayourtch@gmail.com>

2018-03-30acl-plugin: implement an optional session reclassification when ACL is ↵Andrew Yourtchenko4-10/+128
(re-)applied There were several discussions in which users would expect the sessions to be deleted if the new policy after the change does not permit them. There is no right or wrong answer to this question - it is a policy decision. This patch implements an idea to approach this. It uses a per-interface-per-direction counter to designate a "policy epoch" - a period of unchanging rulesets. The moment one removes or adds an ACL applied to an interface, this counter increments. The newly created connections inherit the current policy epoch in a given direction. Likewise, this counter increments if anyone updates an ACL applied to an interface. There is also a new (so far hidden) CLI "set acl-plugin reclassify-sessions [0|1]" (with default being 0) which allows to enable the checking of the existing sessions against the current policy epoch in a given direction. The session is not verified unless there is traffic hitting that session *in the direction of the policy creation* - if the epoch has changed, the session is deleted and within the same processing cycle is evaluated against the ACL rule base and recreated - thus, it should allow traffic-driven session state refresh without affecting the connectivity for the existing sessions. If the packet is coming in the direction opposite to which the session was initially created, the state adjustment is never done, because doing so generically is not really possible without diving too deep into the special cases, which may or may not work.

2018-03-27acl-plugin: autosize the ACL plugin heap and fix the heap size types and parsingAndrew Yourtchenko3-9/+43
- autosize the ACL plugin heap size based on the number of workers - for manual heap size setting, use the proper types (uword), and proper format/unformat functions (unformat_memory_size) Change-Id: I7c46134e949862a0abc9087d7232402fc5a95ad8 Signed-off-by: Andrew Yourtchenko <ayourtch@gmail.com>
