[PATCH v5 net-next 1/3] net/ipv4: multipath routing: configurable seed

From: Balaev Pavel
Date: Tue Apr 27 2021 - 11:37:13 EST


Ability for a user to assign seed value to multipath route hashes.
Now kernel uses random seed value to prevent hash-flooding DoS attacks;
however, it disables some use cases, f.e:

+-------+ +------+ +--------+
| |-eth0---| FW0 |---eth0-| |
| | +------+ | |
| GW0 |ECMP ECMP| GW1 |
| | +------+ | |
| |-eth1---| FW1 |---eth1-| |
+-------+ +------+ +--------+

In this use case, two ECMP routers balance traffic between two firewalls.
If some flow transmits a response over a different channel than request,
such flow will be dropped, because keep-state rules are created on
the other firewall.

This patch adds sysctl variable: net.ipv4.fib_multipath_hash_seed.
User can set the same seed value on GW0 and GW1 for traffic to be
mirror-balanced. By default, random value is used.

+fib_multipath_hash_seed - STRING
+ Controls seed value for multipath route hashes. By default
+ random value is used. Only valid for kernels built with
+ CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH enabled.
+
+ Valid format: two hex values set off with comma or "random"
+ keyword.
+
+ Example to generate the seed value::
+
+ RAND=$(openssl rand -hex 16) && echo "${RAND:0:16},${RAND:16:16}"
+
+ Default: "random"
+
fib_sync_mem - UNSIGNED INTEGER
Amount of dirty memory from fib entries that can be backlogged before
synchronize_rcu is forced.
