netlink: use protocol specific receive buffer Implement Netlink socket receive buffer as a simple TAILQ of nl_buf's, same part of struct sockbuf that is used for send buffer already. This shaves a lot of code and a lot of extra processing. The pcb rids of the I/O queues as the socket buffer is exactly the queue. The message writer is simplified a lot, as we now always deal with linear buf. Notion of different buffer types goes away as way as different kinds of writers. The only things remaining are: a socket writer and a group writer. The impact on the network stack is that we no longer use mbufs, so a workaround from d18715475071 disappears. Note on message throttling. Now the taskqueue throttling mechanism needs to look at both socket buffers protected by their respective locks and on flags in the pcb that are protected by the pcb lock. There is definitely some room for optimization, but this changes tries to preserve as much as possible. Note on new nl_soreceive(). It emulates soreceive_generic(). It must undergo further optimization, see large comment put in there. Note on tests/sys/netlink/test_netlink_message_writer.py. This test boiled down almost to nothing with mbufs removed. However, I left it with minimal functionality (it basically checks that allocating N bytes we get N bytes) as it is one of not so many examples of ktest framework that allows to test KPIs with python. Note on Linux support. It got much simplier: Netlink message writer loses notion of Linux support lifetime, it is same regardless of process ABI. On socket write from Linux process we perform conversion immediately in nl_receive_message() and on an output conversion to Linux happens in in nl_send_one(). XXX: both conversions use M_NOWAIT allocation, which used to be the case before this change, too. Reviewed by: melifaro Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D42524

netlink: move NETLINK define to opt_global.h Move the NETLINK define into opt_global.h so we can rely on it being set correctly, without having to remember to include opt_netlink.h. This ensures that the NETLINK define is correctly set. If not we may end up with unloadable modules, due to missing symbols (such as nlmsg_get_group_writer).

netlink: use custom uma zone for the mbuf storage. Netlink communicates with userland via sockets, utilising MCLBYTES-sized mbufs to append data to the socket buffers. These mbufs are never transmitted via logical or physical network. It may be possible that the 2k mbuf zone is temporary exhausted due to the DDoS-style traffic, leading to Netlink failure to respond to the requests. To address it, this change introduces a custom Netlink-specific zone for the mbuf storage. It has the following benefits: * no precious memory from UMA_ZONE_CONTIG zones is utilized for Netlink * Netlink becomes (more) independent from the traffic spikes and other related network "corner" conditions. * Netlink allocations are now isolated within a specific zone, making it easier to track Netlink mbuf usage and attribute mbufs.

route: show originator PID in netlink monitor Replacing rtsock with netlink also means providing similar tracing facilities, rtsock provides `route -n monitor` interface, where each message can be traced to the originating PID. This diff closes the feature gap between rtsock and netlink in that regard. Netlink works slightly differently from rtsock, as it is a generic message "broker". It calls some kernel KPIs and returns the result to the caller. Other Netlink consumers gets notified on the changed kernel state using the relevant subsystem callbacks. Typically, it is close to impossible to pass some data through these KPIs to enhance the notification. This diff approaches the problem by using osd(9) to assign the relevant socket pointer (`'nlp`) to the per-socket taskqueue execution thread. This change allows to recover the pointer in the aforementioned notification callbacks and extract some additional data. Using `osd(9)` (and adding additional metadata) to the notification receiver comes with some additional cost attached, so this interface needs to be enabled explicitly by using a newly-created `NETLINK_MSG_INFO` `SOL_NETLINK` socket option. The actual medatadata (which includes the originator PID) is provided via control messages. To enable extensibility, the control message data is encoded in the standard netlink(TLV-based) fashion. The list of the currently-provided properties can be found in `nlmsginfo_attrs`. snl(3) is extended to enable decoding of netlink messages with metadata (`snl_read_message_dbg()` stores the parsed structure in the provided buffer).

netlink: add netlink interfaces to if_clone This change adds netlink create/modify/dump interfaces to the `if_clone.c`. The previous attempt with storing the logic inside `netlink/route/iface_drivers.c` did not quite work, as, for example, dumping interface-specific state (like vlan id or vlan parent) required some peeking into the private interfaces. The new interfaces are added in a compatible way - callers don't have to do anything unless they are extended with Netlink.

netlink: add netlink KPI to the kernel by default This change does the following: Base Netlink KPIs (ability to register the family, parse and/or write a Netlink message) are always present in the kernel. Specifically, * Implementation of genetlink family/group registration/removal, some base accessors (netlink_generic_kpi.c, 260 LoC) are compiled in unconditionally. * Basic TLV parser functions (netlink_message_parser.c, 507 LoC) are compiled in unconditionally. * Glue functions (netlink<>rtsock), malloc/core sysctl definitions (netlink_glue.c, 259 LoC) are compiled in unconditionally. * The rest of the KPI _functions_ are defined in the netlink_glue.c, but their implementation calls a pointer to either the stub function or the actual function, depending on whether the module is loaded or not. This approach allows to have only 1k LoC out of ~3.7k LoC (current sys/netlink implementation) in the kernel, which will not grow further. It also allows for the generic netlink kernel customers to load successfully without requiring Netlink module and operate correctly once Netlink module is loaded.

netlink: add netlink support Netlinks is a communication protocol currently used in Linux kernel to modify, read and subscribe for nearly all networking state. Interfaces, addresses, routes, firewall, fibs, vnets, etc are controlled via netlink. It is async, TLV-based protocol, providing 1-1 and 1-many communications. The current implementation supports the subset of NETLINK_ROUTE family. To be more specific, the following is supported: * Dumps: - routes - nexthops / nexthop groups - interfaces - interface addresses - neighbors (arp/ndp) * Notifications: - interface arrival/departure - interface address arrival/departure - route addition/deletion * Modifications: - adding/deleting routes - adding/deleting nexthops/nexthops groups - adding/deleting neghbors - adding/deleting interfaces (basic support only) * Rtsock interaction - route events are bridged both ways The implementation also supports the NETLINK_GENERIC family framework. Implementation notes: Netlink is implemented via loadable/unloadable kernel module, not touching many kernel parts. Each netlink socket uses dedicated taskqueue to support async operations that can sleep, such as interface creation. All message processing is performed within these taskqueues. Compatibility: Most of the Netlink data models specified above maps to FreeBSD concepts nicely. Unmodified ip(8) binary correctly works with interfaces, addresses, routes, nexthops and nexthop groups. Some software such as net/bird require header-only modifications to compile and work with FreeBSD netlink.
