the idea called per cpu sa for the out going direction was discussed at Linux IPsec workshop in Prague. During the following a small group of people worked on a prototype of userspace, Libreswan, and kernel, xfrm. The libreswan picked the terminology "clones". Kernel so far calls pCPU. These names may change.
How to test =
Libreswan source with pCPU supportbranch #clones-1
git clone --single-branch --branch clones-1 https://github.com/antonyantony/libreswan
Sample config [1]
ipsec auto --up westnet-eastnet taskset 0x1 ping -n -c 2 -I 192.0.1.254 192.0.2.254 taskset 0x2 ping -n -c 2 -I 192.0.1.254 192.0.2.254
Kernel source pcpu-1=
git clone -b pcpu-1 https://github.com/antonyantony/linux/tree/pcpu
Kernel / xfrm plans
- Release private branch on Steffen's repository to get wider testing.
- Kernel support for rekey. Possibly with refcounting the linked list on the Head SA. One could rekey in any order - either head SA or sub SA.
- Ben would like to add feature bind a sub sa to a head SA,
Libreswan Plans
- Currently support clones=n. Both sides should have same number.
- support for asymetric configuration, one side 8(initiator) and responder (4).
- rekey support
- fix bugs down and delete.
- don't allow clone instance on its own to be add|delete|down on the unaliased name.
- test interop with unsupported version. ideally we should figure it out and not install clones. It could be that we will install clones and the last one would be used.
how add pCPU support only on OUT direction
You need extra flags to XFRM_MSG_GETSA and XFRM_MSG_UPDSA, XFRM_MSG_GETSA when dealing with out going s
XFRM_MSG_GETSA | XFRM_MSG_UPDSA
both head SA and sub SA need extra attributes.
- head SA set XFRMA_SA_EXTRA_FLAGS to XFRM_SA_PCPU_HEAD*
- sub sa set XFRMA_SA_EXTRA_FLAGS to XFRM_SA_PCPU_SUB AND XFRMA_SA_PCPU to <sub-sa-id>. Sub SA ID start from 0-u32
XFRM_MSG_GETSA call only change for sub sda
- sub SA set XFRMA_SA_EXTRA_FLAGS to XFRM_SA_PCPU_SUB AND XFRMA_SA_PCPU to <sub-sa-id>.
- also set XFRMA_SRCADDR to src addr
