mld_newpack() skb allocations are usually requested with dev->mtu
in size, since commit 72e09ad107 ("ipv6: avoid high order allocations")
we have changed the limit in order to be less likely to fail.

However, in MLD/IGMP code, we have some rather ugly AVAILABLE(skb)
macros, which determine if we may end up doing an skb_put() for
adding another record. To avoid possible fragmentation, we check
the skb's tailroom as skb->dev->mtu - skb->len, which is a wrong
assumption as the actual max allocation size can be much smaller.

The IGMP case doesn't have this issue as commit 57e1ab6ead
("igmp: refine skb allocations") stores the allocation size in
the cb[].

Set a reserved_tailroom to make it fit into the MTU and use
skb_availroom() helper instead. This also allows to get rid of
igmp_skb_size().

Netfilter/IPVS fixes for net

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net tree,
they are:

1) Fix missing initialization of the range structure (allocated in the
   stack) in nft_masq_{ipv4, ipv6}_eval, from Daniel Borkmann.

2) Make sure the data we receive from userspace contains the req_version
   structure, otherwise return an error incomplete on truncated input.
   From Dan Carpenter.

3) Fix handling og skb->sk which may cause incorrect handling
   of connections from a local process. Via Simon Horman, patch from
   Calvin Owens.

4) Fix wrong netns in nft_compat when setting target and match params
   structure.

5) Relax chain type validation in nft_compat that was recently included,
   this broke the matches that need to be run from the route chain type.
   Now iptables-test.py automated regression tests report success again
   and we avoid the only possible problematic case, which is the use of
   nat targets out of nat chain type.

6) Use match->table to validate the tablename, instead of the match->name.
   Again patch for nft_compat.

7) Restore the synchronous release of objects from the commit and abort
   path in nf_tables. This is causing two major problems: splats when using
   nft_compat, given that matches and targets may sleep and call_rcu is
   invoked from softirq context. Moreover Patrick reported possible event
   notification reordering when rules refer to anonymous sets.

8) Fix race condition in between packets that are being confirmed by
   conntrack and the ctnetlink flush operation. This happens since the
   removal of the central spinlock. Thanks to Jesper D. Brouer to looking
   into this.

netfilter/ipvs fixes for net

The following patchset contains fixes for netfilter/ipvs. This round of
fixes is larger than usual at this stage, specifically because of the
nf_tables bridge reject fixes that I would like to see in 3.18. The
patches are:

1) Fix a null-pointer dereference that may occur when logging
   errors. This problem was introduced by 4a4739d56b ("ipvs: Pull
   out crosses_local_route_boundary logic") in v3.17-rc5.

2) Update hook mask in nft_reject_bridge so we can also filter out
   packets from there. This fixes 36d2af5 ("netfilter: nf_tables: allow
   to filter from prerouting and postrouting"), which needs this chunk
   to work.

3) Two patches to refactor common code to forge the IPv4 and IPv6
   reject packets from the bridge. These are required by the nf_tables
   reject bridge fix.

4) Fix nft_reject_bridge by avoiding the use of the IP stack to reject
   packets from the bridge. The idea is to forge the reject packets and
   inject them to the original port via br_deliver() which is now
   exported for that purpose.

5) Restrict nft_reject_bridge to bridge prerouting and input hooks.
   the original skbuff may cloned after prerouting when the bridge stack
   needs to flood it to several bridge ports, it is too late to reject
   the traffic.

9e7ceb0607 net: fix saving TX flow hash in sock for outgoing connections
The commit "net: Save TX flow hash in sock and set in skbuf on xmit"
introduced the inet_set_txhash() and ip6_set_txhash() routines to calculate
and record flow hash(sk_txhash) in the socket structure. sk_txhash is used
to set skb->hash which is used to spread flows across multiple TXQs.

But, the above routines are invoked before the source port of the connection
is created. Because of this all outgoing connections that just differ in the
source port get hashed into the same TXQ.

This patch fixes this problem for IPv4/6 by invoking the the above routines
after the source port is available for the socket.

1e16aa3ddf net: gso: use feature flag argument in all protocol gso handlers
skb_gso_segment() has a 'features' argument representing offload features
available to the output path.

A few handlers, e.g. GRE, instead re-fetch the features of skb->dev and use
those instead of the provided ones when handing encapsulation/tunnels.

Depending on dev->hw_enc_features of the output device skb_gso_segment() can
then return NULL even when the caller has disabled all GSO feature bits,
as segmentation of inner header thinks device will take care of segmentation.

This e.g. affects the tbf scheduler, which will silently drop GRE-encap GSO skbs
that did not fit the remaining token quota as the segmentation does not work
when device supports corresponding hw offload capabilities.

This is because we still use inet6_iif() which expects that IP6 control

Because __inet6_lookup_skb() is used by TCP and DCCP, we add an iif

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
  and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
  and had their own accessors.  The distinction has been gone for many
  years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
  with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
  operations over time.  During the process, we also accumulated other
  inconsistent operations.

  This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
  duplicate accessor situation.  __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
  with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().

  Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
  messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
  a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
  this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().

  This converts most of the uses but not all.  Christoph will follow up
  with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
  remove the obsolete accessors"

7210e4e38f netfilter: nf_tables: restrict nat/masq expressions to nat chain type
This adds the missing validation code to avoid the use of nat/masq from
non-nat chains. The validation assumes two possible configuration
scenarios:

1) Use of nat from base chain that is not of nat type. Reject this
   configuration from the nft_*_init() path of the expression.

2) Use of nat from non-base chain. In this case, we have to wait until
   the non-base chain is referenced by at least one base chain via
   jump/goto. This is resolved from the nft_*_validate() path which is
   called from nf_tables_check_loops().

The user gets an -EOPNOTSUPP in both cases.

      contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit.  This is
      the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of
      several individuals.

      Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees
      skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell
      telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires.

      skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to
      call the driver immediately with another SKB to send.

      There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple
      packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in
      software is now done with no locks held.

      Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can
      be used to test a multi-send implementation.

      Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4,
      virtio_net

      Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to
      support this optimization soon.

      I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper
      Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal
      Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann,
      David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell.

   2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon.

   3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via
      ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver.  From
      Govindarajulu Varadarajan.

   4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx
      driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from
      Florian Fainelli.

   5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers
      to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA
      into pools of pages.  The objective is to get exactly the
      necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled,
      but no more.  The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen().
      From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own
      by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric
      Dumazet.

   6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for
      encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility.  From Tom
      Herbert.

   7) Add Broadcom SF2 switch driver to DSA layer, from Florian
      Fainelli.

   8) eBPF now can load programs via a system call and has an extensive
      testsuite.  Alexei Starovoitov and Daniel Borkmann.

   9) Major overhaul of the packet scheduler to use RCU in several major
      areas such as the classifiers and rate estimators.  From John
      Fastabend.

  10) Add driver for Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch, from Alexander
      Duyck.

  11) Rearrange TCP_SKB_CB() to reduce cache line misses, from Eric
      Dumazet.

  12) Add Datacenter TCP congestion control algorithm support, From
      Florian Westphal.

  13) Reorganize sk_buff so that __copy_skb_header() is significantly
      faster.  From Eric Dumazet"

0287587884 net: better IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE support
Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets,
I found strange dst refcount false sharing.

Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal.

Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case
packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y

The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit()
before even taking qdisc lock.

As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some
packet schedulers or classifiers.

This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers
or qdiscs/classifiers.

Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call
following helper in their setup instead of the prior :

	dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE;
->
	netif_keep_dst(dev);

Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being
eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers.

The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being
rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something
smarter later.

====================
Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

The following patchset contains another batch with Netfilter/IPVS updates
for net-next, they are:

1) Add abstracted ICMP codes to the nf_tables reject expression. We
   introduce four reasons to reject using ICMP that overlap in IPv4
   and IPv6 from the semantic point of view. This should simplify the
   maintainance of dual stack rule-sets through the inet table.

2) Move nf_send_reset() functions from header files to per-family
   nf_reject modules, suggested by Patrick McHardy.

3) We have to use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER) everywhere in the
   code now that br_netfilter can be modularized. Convert remaining spots
   in the network stack code.

4) Use rcu_barrier() in the nf_tables module removal path to ensure that
   we don't leave object that are still pending to be released via
   call_rcu (that may likely result in a crash).

5) Remove incomplete arch 32/64 compat from nft_compat. The original (bad)
   idea was to probe the word size based on the xtables match/target info
   size, but this assumption is wrong when you have to dump the information
   back to userspace.

6) Allow to filter from prerouting and postrouting in the nf_tables bridge.
   In order to emulate the ebtables NAT chains (which are actually simple
   filter chains with no special semantics), we have support filtering from
   this hooks too.

7) Add explicit module dependency between xt_physdev and br_netfilter.
   This provides a way to detect if the user needs br_netfilter from
   the configuration path. This should reduce the breakage of the
   br_netfilter modularization.

8) Cleanup coding style in ip_vs.h, from Simon Horman.

9) Fix crash in the recently added nf_tables masq expression. We have
   to register/unregister the notifiers to clean up the conntrack table
   entries from the module init/exit path, not from the rule addition /
   deletion path. From Arturo Borrero.

8bce6d7d0d udp: Generalize skb_udp_segment
skb_udp_segment is the function called from udp4_ufo_fragment to
segment a UDP tunnel packet. This function currently assumes
segmentation is transparent Ethernet bridging (i.e. VXLAN
encapsulation). This patch generalizes the function to
operate on either Ethertype or IP protocol.

The inner_protocol field must be set to the protocol of the inner
header. This can now be either an Ethertype or an IP protocol
(in a union). A new flag in the skbuff indicates which type is
effective. skb_set_inner_protocol and skb_set_inner_ipproto
helper functions were added to set the inner_protocol. These
functions are called from the point where the tunnel encapsulation
is occuring.

When skb_udp_tunnel_segment is called, the function to segment the
inner packet is selected based on the inner IP or Ethertype. In the
case of an IP protocol encapsulation, the function is derived from
inet[6]_offloads. In the case of Ethertype, skb->protocol is
set to the inner_protocol and skb_mac_gso_segment is called. (GRE
currently does this, but it might be possible to lookup the protocol
in offload_base and call the appropriate segmenation function
directly).

705f1c869d ipv6: remove rt6i_genid
Eric Dumazet noticed that all no-nonexthop or no-gateway routes which
are already marked DST_HOST (e.g. input routes routes) will always be
invalidated during sk_dst_check. Thus per-socket dst caching absolutely
had no effect and early demuxing had no effect.

Thus this patch removes rt6i_genid: fn_sernum already gets modified during
add operations, so we only must ensure we mutate fn_sernum during ipv6
address remove operations. This is a fairly cost extensive operations,
but address removal should not happen that often. Also our mtu update
functions do the same and we heard no complains so far. xfrm policy
changes also cause a call into fib6_flush_trees. Also plug a hole in
rt6_info (no cacheline changes).

I verified via tracing that this change has effect.

====================
pull request: netfilter/ipvs updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next,
most relevantly they are:

1) Four patches to make the new nf_tables masquerading support
   independent of the x_tables infrastructure. This also resolves a
   compilation breakage if the masquerade target is disabled but the
   nf_tables masq expression is enabled.

2) ipset updates via Jozsef Kadlecsik. This includes the addition of the
   skbinfo extension that allows you to store packet metainformation in the
   elements. This can be used to fetch and restore this to the packets through
   the iptables SET target, patches from Anton Danilov.

3) Add the hash:mac set type to ipset, from Jozsef Kadlecsick.

4) Add simple weighted fail-over scheduler via Simon Horman. This provides
   a fail-over IPVS scheduler (unlike existing load balancing schedulers).
   Connections are directed to the appropriate server based solely on
   highest weight value and server availability, patch from Kenny Mathis.

5) Support IPv6 real servers in IPv4 virtual-services and vice versa.
   Simon Horman informs that the motivation for this is to allow more
   flexibility in the choice of IP version offered by both virtual-servers
   and real-servers as they no longer need to match: An IPv4 connection
   from an end-user may be forwarded to a real-server using IPv6 and
   vice versa. No ip_vs_sync support yet though. Patches from Alex Gartrell
   and Julian Anastasov.

6) Add global generation ID to the nf_tables ruleset. When dumping from
   several different object lists, we need a way to identify that an update
   has ocurred so userspace knows that it needs to refresh its lists. This
   also includes a new command to obtain the 32-bits generation ID. The
   less significant 16-bits of this ID is also exposed through res_id field
   in the nfnetlink header to quickly detect the interference and retry when
   there is no risk of ID wraparound.

7) Move br_netfilter out of the bridge core. The br_netfilter code is
   built in the bridge core by default. This causes problems of different
   kind to people that don't want this: Jesper reported performance drop due
   to the inconditional hook registration and I remember to have read complains
   on netdev from people regarding the unexpected behaviour of our bridging
   stack when br_netfilter is enabled (fragmentation handling, layer 3 and
   upper inspection). People that still need this should easily undo the
   damage by modprobing the new br_netfilter module.

8) Dump the set policy nf_tables that allows set parameterization. So
   userspace can keep user-defined preferences when saving the ruleset.
   From Arturo Borrero.

9) Use __seq_open_private() helper function to reduce boiler plate code
   in x_tables, From Rob Jones.

10) Safer default behaviour in case that you forget to load the protocol
   tracker. Daniel Borkmann and Florian Westphal detected that if your
   ruleset is stateful, you allow traffic to at least one single SCTP port
   and the SCTP protocol tracker is not loaded, then any SCTP traffic may
   be pass through unfiltered. After this patch, the connection tracking
   classifies SCTP/DCCP/UDPlite/GRE packets as invalid if your kernel has
   been compiled with support for these modules.
====================

Trivially resolved conflict in include/linux/skbuff.h, Eric moved some
netfilter skbuff members around, and the netfilter tree adjusted the
ifdef guards for the bridging info pointer.

   via netlink. From Christophe Gouault.

4) Remove the maximum authentication length for AH.
   This was needed to limit stack usage. We switched
   already to allocate space, so no need to keep the
   limit. From Herbert Xu.

971f10eca1 tcp: better TCP_SKB_CB layout to reduce cache line misses
TCP maintains lists of skb in write queue, and in receive queues
(in order and out of order queues)

Scanning these lists both in input and output path usually requires
access to skb->next, TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq, and TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->end_seq

These fields are currently in two different cache lines, meaning we
waste lot of memory bandwidth when these queues are big and flows
have either packet drops or packet reorders.

We can move TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->header at the end of TCP_SKB_CB, because
this header is not used in fast path. This allows TCP to search much faster
in the skb lists.

Even with regular flows, we save one cache line miss in fast path.

Thanks to Christoph Paasch for noticing we need to cleanup
skb->cb[] (IPCB/IP6CB) before entering IP stack in tx path,
and that I forgot IPCB use in tcp_v4_hnd_req() and tcp_v4_save_options().

a224772db8 ipv6: add a struct inet6_skb_parm param to ipv6_opt_accepted()
ipv6_opt_accepted() assumes IP6CB(skb) holds the struct inet6_skb_parm
that it needs. Lets not assume this, as TCP stack might use a different
place.
