Add callbacks to calculate the size and fill link extended statistics
which can be split into multiple messages and are dumped via the new
rtnl stats API (RTM_GETSTATS) with the IFLA_STATS_LINK_XSTATS attribute.
Also add that attribute to the idx mask check since it is expected to
be able to save state and resume dumping (e.g. future bridge per-vlan
stats will be dumped via this attribute and callbacks).
Each link type should nest its private attributes under the per-link type
attribute. This allows to have any number of separated private attributes
and to avoid one call to get the dev link type.

The new prividx argument allows the current dumping device to save a
private state counter which would enable it to continue dumping from
where it left off. And the idxattr is used to save the current idx user
so multiple prividx using attributes can be requested at the same time
as suggested by Roopa Prabhu.

Several of the GRE functions defined in net/ipv4/ip_gre.c are usable
for IPv6 GRE implementation (that is they are protocol agnostic).
These include:
- GRE flag handling functions are move to gre.h
- GRE build_header is moved to gre.h and renamed gre_build_header
- parse_gre_header is moved to gre_demux.c and renamed gre_parse_header
- iptunnel_pull_header is taken out of gre_parse_header. This is now
done by caller. The header length is returned from gre_parse_header
in an int* argument.

Large sendmsg()/write() hold socket lock for the duration of the call,
unless sk->sk_sndbuf limit is hit. This is bad because incoming packets
are parked into socket backlog for a long time.
Critical decisions like fast retransmit might be delayed.
Receivers have to maintain a big out of order queue with additional cpu
overhead, and also possible stalls in TX once windows are full.
Bidirectional flows are particularly hurt since the backlog can become
quite big if the copy from user space triggers IO (page faults)
Some applications learnt to use sendmsg() (or sendmmsg()) with small
chunks to avoid this issue.
Kernel should know better, right ?
Add a generic sk_flush_backlog() helper and use it right
before a new skb is allocated. Typically we put 64KB of payload
per skb (unless MSG_EOR is requested) and checking socket backlog
every 64KB gives good results.
As a matter of fact, tests with TSO/GSO disabled give very nice
results, as we manage to keep a small write queue and smaller
perceived rtt.
Note that sk_flush_backlog() maintains socket ownership,
so is not equivalent to a {release_sock(sk); lock_sock(sk);},
to ensure implicit atomicity rules that sendmsg() was
giving to (possibly buggy) applications.
In this simple implementation, I chose to not call tcp_release_cb(),
but we might consider this later.

Socket backlog processing is a major latency source.
With current TCP socket sk_rcvbuf limits, I have sampled __release_sock()
holding cpu for more than 5 ms, and packets being dropped by the NIC
once ring buffer is filled.
All users are now ready to be called from process context,
we can unblock BH and let interrupts be serviced faster.
cond_resched_softirq() could be removed, as it has no more user.

iptunnel_pull_header expects that IP header was already pulled; with this
expectation, it pulls the tunnel header. This is not true in gre_err.
Furthermore, ipv4_update_pmtu and ipv4_redirect expect that skb->data points
to the IP header.
We cannot pull the tunnel header in this path. It's just a matter of not
calling iptunnel_pull_header - we don't need any of its effects.

Dave Miller pointed out that fb586f25300f ("sctp: delay calls to

the receiving application is running on another CPU and that it would be

it as early as possible, similar to what we had before.

We have observed complete lock up of broadcast-link transmission due to
unacknowledged packets never being removed from the 'transmq' queue. This
is traced to nodes having their ack field set beyond the sequence number
of packets that have actually been transmitted to them.
Consider an example where node 1 has sent 10 packets to node 2 on a
link and node 3 has sent 20 packets to node 2 on another link. We
see examples of an ack from node 2 destined for node 3 being treated as
an ack from node 2 at node 1. This leads to the ack on the node 1 to node
2 link being increased to 20 even though we have only sent 10 packets.
When node 1 does get around to sending further packets, none of the
packets with sequence numbers less than 21 are actually removed from the
transmq.
To resolve this we reinstate some code lost in commit d999297c3dbb ("tipc:
reduce locking scope during packet reception") which ensures that only
messages destined for the receiving node are processed by that node. This
prevents the sequence numbers from getting out of sync and resolves the
packet leakage, thereby resolving the broadcast-link transmission
lock-ups we observed.
While we are aware that this change only patches over a root problem that
we still haven't identified, this is a sanity test that it is always
legitimate to do. It will remain in the code even after we identify and
fix the real problem.

This patch fixes a bug which causes the behavior of whether to ignore
udp6 checksum of udp6 encapsulated l2tp tunnel contrary to what
userspace program requests.
When the flag `L2TP_ATTR_UDP_ZERO_CSUM6_RX` is set by userspace, it is
expected that udp6 checksums of received packets of the l2tp tunnel
to create should be ignored. In `l2tp_netlink.c`:
`l2tp_nl_cmd_tunnel_create()`, `cfg.udp6_zero_rx_checksums` is set
according to the flag, and then passed to `l2tp_core.c`:
`l2tp_tunnel_create()` and then `l2tp_tunnel_sock_create()`. In
`l2tp_tunnel_sock_create()`, `udp_conf.use_udp6_rx_checksums` is set
the same to `cfg.udp6_zero_rx_checksums`. However, if we want the
checksum to be ignored, `udp_conf.use_udp6_rx_checksums` should be set
to `false`, i.e. be set to the contrary. Similarly, the same should be
done to `udp_conf.use_udp6_tx_checksums`.

At the moment there is no explicit reactivation of an hard-interface
upon NETDEV_UP event. In case of B.A.T.M.A.N. IV the interface is
reactivated as soon as the next OGM is scheduled for sending, but this
mechanism does not work with B.A.T.M.A.N. V. The latter does not rely
on the same scheduling mechanism as its predecessor and for this reason
the hard-interface remains deactivated forever after being brought down
once.
This patch fixes the reactivation mechanism by adding a new routing API
which explicitly allows each algorithm to perform any needed operation
upon interface re-activation.
Such API is optional and is implemented by B.A.T.M.A.N. V only and it
just takes care of setting the iface status to ACTIVE

This patch overloads the DSA master netdev, aka CPU Ethernet MAC to also
include switch-side statistics, which is useful for debugging purposes,
when the switch is not properly connected to the Ethernet MAC (duplex
mismatch, (RG)MII electrical issues etc.).
We accomplish this by retaining the original copy of the master netdev's
ethtool_ops, and just overload the 3 operations we care about:
get_sset_count, get_strings and get_ethtool_stats so as to intercept
these calls and call into the original master_netdev ethtool_ops, plus
our own.
We take this approach as opposed to providing a set of DSA helper
functions that would retrive the CPU port's statistics, because the
entire purpose of DSA is to allow unmodified Ethernet MAC drivers to be
used as CPU conduit interfaces, therefore, statistics overlay in such
drivers would simply not scale.
The new ethtool -S <iface> output would therefore look like this now:
<iface> statistics

TCP prequeue goal is to defer processing of incoming packets
to user space thread currently blocked in a recvmsg() system call.
Intent is to spend less time processing these packets on behalf
of softirq handler, as softirq handler is unfair to normal process
scheduler decisions, as it might interrupt threads that do not
even use networking.
Current prequeue implementation has following issues :
1) It only checks size of the prequeue against sk_rcvbuf
It was fine 15 years ago when sk_rcvbuf was in the 64KB vicinity.
But we now have ~8MB values to cope with modern networking needs.
We have to add sk_rmem_alloc in the equation, since out of order
packets can definitely use up to sk_rcvbuf memory themselves.
2) Even with a fixed memory truesize check, prequeue can be filled
by thousands of packets. When prequeue needs to be flushed, either
from sofirq context (in tcp_prequeue() or timer code), or process
context (in tcp_prequeue_process()), this adds a latency spike
which is often not desirable.
I added a fixed limit of 32 packets, as this translated to a max
flush time of 60 us on my test hosts.
Also note that all packets in prequeue are not accounted for tcp_mem,
since they are not charged against sk_forward_alloc at this point.
This is probably not a big deal.
Note that this might increase LINUX_MIB_TCPPREQUEUEDROPPED counts,
which is misnamed, as packets are not dropped at all, but rather pushed
to the stack (where they can be either consumed or dropped)

I think this is okay to be changed. It's unlikely anyone has such

distinguish whether it's supported or not by the kernel later.

case, the interface is ARPHRD_IPGRE and the protocol to be used for
encapsulation is skb->protocol.

In ipgre mode (i.e. not gretap) with collect metadata flag set, the tunnel
is incorrectly assumed to be mGRE in NBMA mode (see commit 6a5f44d7a048c).
This is not the case, we're controlling the encapsulation addresses by
lwtunnel metadata. And anyway, assigning dev->header_ops in collect metadata
mode does not make sense.
Although it would be more user firendly to reject requests that specify
both the collect metadata flag and a remote/local IP address, this would
break current users of gretap or introduce ugly code and differences in
handling ipgre and gretap configuration. Keep the current behavior of
remote/local IP address being ignored in such case.
v3: Back to v1, added explanation paragraph.
v2: Reject configuration specifying both remote/local address and collect
metadata flag.
Fixes: 2e15ea390e6f4 ("ip_gre: Add support to collect tunnel metadata.")

This is never called with a NULL "buf" and anyway, we dereference 's' on
the lines before so it would Oops before we reach the check.

In this patchset you can find the following fixes:
1) check skb size to avoid reading beyond its border when delivering
payloads, by Sven Eckelmann
2) initialize last_seen time in neigh_node object to prevent cleanup
routine from accidentally purge it, by Marek Lindner
3) release "recently added" slave interfaces upon virtual/batman
interface shutdown, by Sven Eckelmann
4) properly decrease router object reference counter upon routing table
update, by Sven Eckelmann
5) release queue slots when purging OGM packets of deactivating slave
interface, by Linus Lüssing
Patch 2 and 3 have no "Fixes:" tag because the offending commits date
back to when batman-adv was not yet officially in the net tree.

There's no need to calculate rps hash if it was not enabled. So this
patch export rps_needed and check it before trying to get rps
hash. Tests (using pktgen to inject packets to guest) shows this can
improve pps about 13% (when rps is disabled).
Before:
~1150000 pps
After:
~1300000 pps
