[PATCH 3/3] examples/l3fwd: fix maximum acceptable port ID in routes

[Gagandeep Singh]

Application is accepting routes for port ID up to UINT8_MAX
for LPM amd EM routes on parsing the given rule file, but only
up to 32 ports can be enabled as per the variable enabled_port_mask
which is defined as uint32_t.

This patch restricts the rules parsing code to accept routes for
port ID up to 31 only to avoid any unnecessary maintenance of rules
which will never be used.

If we want to add this extra check, probably better to do it in setup_lpm().
Where we already check that port is enabled, and If not, then this route rule will be skipped:

        /* populate the LPM table */
        for (i = 0; i < route_num_v4; i++) {
                struct in_addr in;

                /* skip unused ports */
                if ((1 << route_base_v4[i].if_out &
                                enabled_port_mask) == 0)
                        continue;

Same for EM.
Another question here - why we just silently skip the rule with invalid port?
Probably need to fail with error... that what ACL code-path does.

I am trying to update the check for MAX if_out value in rules config file parsing which will be before setup_lpm().  
The reason is, restricting and adding only those rules which can be used by the application
while populating the route_base_v4/v6 at first step and avoid unnecessary memory allocation
for local variables to store more not required rules.

> ((1 << route_base_v4[i].if_out &
>                                 enabled_port_mask)
By looking into this check, it seems restriction to maximum 31 port ID while parsing rule file becomes
more valid as this check can pass due to overflow in case value of route_base_v4[i].if_out
Is 31+.

> Another question here - why we just silently skip the rule with invalid port?
In read_config_files_lpm() we are calling the rte_exit in case port ID is 31+.
In setup_lpm, skipping the rules for the ports which are not enabled and not giving error,
I guess probably because of ease of use.
e.g. user has only single ipv4_routes config file with route rules for port ID 0,1,2,3,4
and want to use same file for multiple test cases like
1. when only port 0 enabled
2. when only port 0 and 1 enabled and so on.
In this case, user can avoid to have separate route files for each of the test case.

Hmm... but why it is a problem?

Agree, I think we need both, and it probably need to be in setup_lpm().
Something like:

if (route_base_v4[i].if_out >= sizeof(enabled_port_mask) * CHAR_BIT ||
   ((1 << route_base_v4[i].if_out & enabled_port_mask) == 0) {
     /* print some error message here*/
     rte_exiit(...);  /* or return an error */
}

The problem as I see it - we are not consistent here.
In some cases we just silently skip rules with invalid (or disabled) port numbers,
in other cases we generate an error and exit.
For me it would be better, if we follow one simple policy (abort with error) here for all cases.

Not really a problem, Just trying to optimize wherever it Is possible.

Yes, I can change it to this.

Ok, I will add the rte_exit if route port is invalid or not enabled. 
With this change onwards It will be assumed user will add only those routes
With port IDs which are valid and enabled in the application.

I re-checked the code, IMO we should restrict the rules in " read_config_files"
May be we can move this check to read_config_files.
As having this check in the setup can result in rte_exit() call when no user rule file
Is given and application is using the default rules. In that case route_base_v4 will
Have 16 rules for 16 ports (default rules). 
So this check will fails always unless user enable all the 16 ports with -p option.

Ah yes, you are right.
That's why probably right now we probably just do 'continue;' here...
Yeh, probably the easiest way is to put this check before setup_lpm() -
in parsing code, or straight after that.
Can I ask you for one more thing: can we add a new function that would
do this check and use it everywhere (lpm/em/acl).

As alternative thought - we might add to setup_lpm() an extra parameter
to indicate what do we want to do on rule with invalid/disabled port - just skip it or fail.
Another alternative - remove default route ability at all, though that one
is a change in behavior and probably there would be some complaints.

Sorry for late reply, first option looks ok to me. I can add a user given option in
Setup functions to decide skip or continue. 
In V2, also will try to create a common function for this check for all the setup
Functions.
