There is bug in commit 5e2b61f(ipv4: Remove flowi from struct rtable).
It makes xfrm4_fill_dst() modify wrong data structure.

	May be I'm missing something but I don't see where
flowi4_iif is set for the forwarding case. __xfrm_route_forward
calls xfrm_decode_session which does not appear to set
flowi4_iif. When providing fl4 for output routes flowi4_iif
is always set to 0, so it represents rt_route_iif. But
then there are 2 variants for __ip_route_output_key:

- ip_route_output_slow sets flowi4_iif to loopback and
flowi4_oif to outdev during lookup but never restores them
to original values. It is assumed that caller uses outdev
from dst, not from flowi4_oif.

- for cached route we do not update flowi4_iif and flowi4_oif
in __ip_route_output_key, so the resulting fl4 can not be
used for these values. I assume, the current rules are that
only fl4.saddr and daddr are updated while flowi4_iif and
flowi4_oif are not. It looks wrong flowi code to rely on them.

	Currently, we have 3 values for devices:

rt_iif: indev for input routes, resulting outdev for output routes
which plays the role as indev for loopback traffic.

rt_oif: original outdev key, 0 for input routes, can be 0 for
output routes if socket is not bound to oif

rt_route_iif: indev for input routes, 0 for output routes

	With above rules for flowi4_iif and flowi4_oif
it is impossible to select value for rt_iif from fl4.

	I don't know the xfrm code well, may be after the
mentioned change we damaged rt_oif and rt_route_iif values
for cached dst which can lead to using slow path all the time.
Even if rt_intern_hash() avoids caching similar dsts multiple
times, if cached entry is damaged we will add more and
more new entries after every damage.

Neither do I. My understanding is that xfrm_dst(s) are managed by the
flow cache (net/core/flow.c). We don't put them into the routing cache.

To: <stable@kernel.org>

-stable maintainers, please consider the following two upstream
commits for inclusion in upcoming v3.0.x [1] stable releases:

v3.0.8 plus this:

upstream commit b73233960a59ee66e09d642f13d0592b13651e94
(ipv4: fix ipsec forward performance regression)

increases IPSec fwding performance from 0.2kpps to ~3.5kpps.

Adding this:

upstream commit aa1c366e4febc7f5c2b84958a2dd7cd70e28f9d0
(net: Handle different key sizes between address families in flow
cache)

to that, brings it back up to 2.6.38 levels, i.e., ~44kpps.

note that for v2.6.39.4 (.39 is the first kernel version with the
40->0.2kpps regression), commit b732339 depends on a slew of
commits, presumably ending with commit 5e2b61f: ipv4: Remove flowi
from struct rtable.

However it appears commit aa1c366e alone will restore almost all
the performance (~42kpps) on that kernel version.

So to summarize, please cherry-pick:

v2.6.39.x: aa1c366: net: Handle different key sizes between address families in flow cache
v3.0.x: aa1c366: net: Handle different key sizes between address families in flow cache
v3.0.x: b732339: ipv4: fix ipsec forward performance regression
v3.1.x: b732339: ipv4: fix ipsec forward performance regression

[All figures are based on a p2020ds board configured to rx, encrypt
and forward 64-byte packets.]

Thanks,

Kim

[1] initial kernel in long-term stable series for the embedded
industry (http://lwn.net/Articles/464834/)

I see b732339 (ipv4: fix ipsec forward performance regression) has
been added to the 3.0- and 3.1-stable trees.

b732339 increases IPSec fwding performance from 0.2kpps to ~3.5kpps.

However, adding upstream commit aa1c366 (net: Handle different key
sizes between address families in flow cache) brings performance
back up to 2.6.38 levels, i.e., ~44kpps.

So can aa1c366 also be queued to the v2.6.39 and v3.0 stable
trees?

Thanks,

Kim

1) stable@kernel.org no longer exists and will just go into the bit
   bucket, it's now stable@vger.kernel.org

2) The patch in question doesn't apply cleanly to v3.0.8 -stable so
   if it's important to you you'll need to submit a backport.

3) 2.6.39 is no longer a maintained -stable kernel series.
