This reverts commit 8392bc2ff8c8bf7c4c5e6dfa71ccd893a3c046f6.
In the use case of buffered write whose input buffer is mmapped file on a
filesystem with a pre-content mark, the prefaulting of the buffer can
happen under the filesystem freeze protection (obtained in vfs_write())
which breaks assumptions of pre-content hook and introduces potential
deadlock of HSM handler in userspace with filesystem freezing.
Now that we have pre-content hooks at file mmap() time, disable the
pre-content event hooks on page fault to avoid the potential deadlock.

====================
Netfilter/IPVS fixes for net
The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS fixes for net:
1) Missing initialization of cpu and jiffies32 fields in conncount,
from Kohei Enju.
2) Skip several tests in case kernel is tainted, otherwise tests bogusly
report failure too as they also check for tainted kernel,
from Florian Westphal.
3) Fix a hyphothetical integer overflow in do_ip_vs_get_ctl() leading
to bogus error logs, from Dan Carpenter.
4) Fix incorrect offset in ipv4 option match in nft_exthdr, from
Alexey Kashavkin.

When mounting a CIFS share with 'guest' mount option, mount.cifs(8)
will set empty password= and password2= options. Currently we only
handle empty strings from user= and password= options, so the mount
will fail with
cifs: Bad value for 'password2'
Fix this by handling empty string from password2= option as well.

When on a MANA VM hibernation is triggered, as part of hibernate_snapshot(),
mana_gd_suspend() and mana_gd_resume() are called. If during this
mana_gd_resume(), a failure occurs with HWC creation, mana_port_debugfs
pointer does not get reinitialized and ends up pointing to older,
cleaned-up dentry.
Further in the hibernation path, as part of power_down(), mana_gd_shutdown()
is triggered. This call, unaware of the failures in resume, tries to cleanup
the already cleaned up mana_port_debugfs value and hits the following bug:

mlx5_eswitch_get_vepa returns -EPERM if the device lacks
eswitch_manager capability, blocking mlx5e_bridge_getlink from
retrieving VEPA mode. Since mlx5e_bridge_getlink implements
ndo_bridge_getlink, returning -EPERM causes bridge link show to fail
instead of skipping devices without this capability.
To avoid this, return -EOPNOTSUPP from mlx5e_bridge_getlink when
mlx5_eswitch_get_vepa fails, ensuring the command continues processing
other devices while ignoring those without the necessary capability.

When removing LAG device from bridge, NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER event is
triggered. Driver finds the lower devices (PFs) to flush all the
offloaded entries. And mlx5_lag_is_shared_fdb is checked, it returns
false if one of PF is unloaded. In such case,
mlx5_esw_bridge_lag_rep_get() and its caller return NULL, instead of
the alive PF, and the flush is skipped.
Besides, the bridge fdb entry's lastuse is updated in mlx5 bridge
event handler. But this SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE event can be
ignored in this case because the upper interface for bond is deleted,
and the entry will never be aged because lastuse is never updated.
To make things worse, as the entry is alive, mlx5 bridge workqueue
keeps sending that event, which is then handled by kernel bridge
notifier. It causes the following crash when accessing the passed bond
netdev which is already destroyed.
To fix this issue, remove such checks. LAG state is already checked in
commit 15f8f168952f ("net/mlx5: Bridge, verify LAG state when adding
bond to bridge"), driver still need to skip offload if LAG becomes
invalid state after initialization.

However, after the cited commit, mlx5_irq_pool_get() is called during

Hence, use the newly introduced mlx5_irq_get_pool() getter to retrieve

Checkpoint/Restore in Userspace (CRIU) requires to reconstruct posix timers
with the same timer ID on restore. It uses sys_timer_create() and relies on
the monotonic increasing timer ID provided by this syscall. It creates and
deletes timers until the desired ID is reached. This is can loop for a long
time, when the checkpointed process had a very sparse timer ID range.
It has been debated to implement a new syscall to allow the creation of
timers with a given timer ID, but that's tideous due to the 32/64bit compat
issues of sigevent_t and of dubious value.
The restore mechanism of CRIU creates the timers in a state where all
threads of the restored process are held on a barrier and cannot issue
syscalls. That means the restorer task has exclusive control.
This allows to address this issue with a prctl() so that the restorer
thread can do:
if (prctl(PR_TIMER_CREATE_RESTORE_IDS, PR_TIMER_CREATE_RESTORE_IDS_ON))
goto linear_mode;
create_timers_with_explicit_ids();
prctl(PR_TIMER_CREATE_RESTORE_IDS, PR_TIMER_CREATE_RESTORE_IDS_OFF);
This is backwards compatible because the prctl() fails on older kernels and
CRIU can fall back to the linear timer ID mechanism. CRIU versions which do
not know about the prctl() just work as before.
Implement the prctl() and modify timer_create() so that it copies the
requested timer ID from userspace by utilizing the existing timer_t
pointer, which is used to copy out the allocated timer ID on success.
If the prctl() is disabled, which it is by default, timer_create() works as
before and does not try to read from the userspace pointer.
There is no problem when a broken or rogue user space application enables
the prctl(). If the user space pointer does not contain a valid ID, then
timer_create() fails. If the data is not initialized, but constains a
random valid ID, timer_create() will create that random timer ID or fail if
the ID is already given out.
As CRIU must use the raw syscall to avoid manipulating the internal state
of the restored process, this has no library dependencies and can be
adopted by CRIU right away.
Recreating two timers with IDs 1000000 and 2000000 takes 1.5 seconds with
the create/delete method. With the prctl() it takes 3 microseconds.

The readout of /proc/$PID/timers holds sighand::siglock with interrupts
disabled. That is required to protect against concurrent modifications of
the task::signal::posix_timers list because the list is not RCU safe.
With the conversion of the timer storage to a RCU protected hlist, this is
not longer required.
The only requirement is to protect the returned entry against a concurrent
free, which is trivial as the timers are RCU protected.
Removing the trylock of sighand::siglock is benign because the life time of
task_struct::signal is bound to the life time of the task_struct itself.
There are two scenarios where this matters:
1) The process is life and not about to be checkpointed
2) The process is stopped via ptrace for checkpointing
#1 is a racy snapshot of the armed timers and nothing can rely on it. It's
not more than debug information and it has been that way before because
sighand lock is dropped when the buffer is full and the restart of
the iteration might find a completely different set of timers.
The task and therefore task::signal cannot be freed as timers_start()
acquired a reference count via get_pid_task().
#2 the process is stopped for checkpointing so nothing can delete or create
timers at this point. Neither can the process exit during the traversal.
If CRIU fails to observe an exit in progress prior to the dissimination
of the timers, then there are more severe problems to solve in the CRIU
mechanics as they can't rely on posix timers being enabled in the first
place.
Therefore replace the lock acquisition with rcu_read_lock() and switch the
timer storage traversal over to seq_hlist_*_rcu().

struct k_itimer has the hlist_node, which is used for lookup in the hash
bucket, and the timer lock in the same cache line.
That's obviously bad, if one CPU fiddles with a timer and the other is
walking the hash bucket on which that timer is queued.
Avoid this by restructuring struct k_itimer, so that the read mostly (only
modified during setup and teardown) fields are in the first cache line and
the lock and the rest of the fields which get written to are in cacheline
2-N.

The hash distribution of hash_32() is suboptimal. jhash32() provides a way
better distribution, which evens out the length of the hash bucket lists,
which in turn avoids large outliers in list walk times.
Due to the sparse ID space (thanks CRIU) there is no guarantee that the
timers will be fully evenly distributed over the hash buckets, but the
behaviour is way better than with hash_32() even for randomly sparse ID
spaces.
For a pathological test case with 64 processes creating and accessing
20000 timers each, this results in a runtime reduction of ~10% and a
significantly reduced runtime variation.

Eric and Ben reported a significant performance bottleneck on the global
hash, which is used to store posix timers for lookup.
Eric tried to do a lockless validation of a new timer ID before trying to
insert the timer, but that does not solve the problem.
For the non-contended case this is a pointless exercise and for the
contended case this extra lookup just creates enough interleaving that all
tasks can make progress.
There are actually two real solutions to the problem:
1) Provide a per process (signal struct) xarray storage
2) Implement a smarter hash like the one in the futex code
#1 works perfectly fine for most cases, but the fact that CRIU enforced a
linear increasing timer ID to restore timers makes this problematic.
It's easy enough to create a sparse timer ID space, which amounts very
fast to a large junk of memory consumed for the xarray. 2048 timers with
a ID offset of 512 consume more than one megabyte of memory for the
xarray storage.
#2 The main advantage of the futex hash is that it uses per hash bucket
locks instead of a global hash lock. Aside of that it is scaled
according to the number of CPUs at boot time.
Experiments with artifical benchmarks have shown that a scaled hash with
per bucket locks comes pretty close to the xarray performance and in some
scenarios it performes better.
Test 1:
A single process creates 20000 timers and afterwards invokes
timer_getoverrun(2) on each of them:
mainline Eric newhash xarray
create 23 ms 23 ms 9 ms 8 ms
getoverrun 14 ms 14 ms 5 ms 4 ms
Test 2:
A single process creates 50000 timers and afterwards invokes
timer_getoverrun(2) on each of them:
mainline Eric newhash xarray
create 98 ms 219 ms 20 ms 18 ms
getoverrun 62 ms 62 ms 10 ms 9 ms
Test 3:
A single process creates 100000 timers and afterwards invokes
timer_getoverrun(2) on each of them:
mainline Eric newhash xarray
create 313 ms 750 ms 48 ms 33 ms
getoverrun 261 ms 260 ms 20 ms 14 ms
Erics changes create quite some overhead in the create() path due to the
double list walk, as the main issue according to perf is the list walk
itself. With 100k timers each hash bucket contains ~200 timers, which in
the worst case need to be all inspected. The same problem applies for
getoverrun() where the lookup has to walk through the hash buckets to find
the timer it is looking for.
The scaled hash obviously reduces hash collisions and lock contention
significantly. This becomes more prominent with concurrency.
Test 4:
A process creates 63 threads and all threads wait on a barrier before
each instance creates 20000 timers and afterwards invokes
timer_getoverrun(2) on each of them. The threads are pinned on
seperate CPUs to achive maximum concurrency. The numbers are the
average times per thread:
mainline Eric newhash xarray
create 180239 ms 38599 ms 579 ms 813 ms
getoverrun 2645 ms 2642 ms 32 ms 7 ms
Test 5:
A process forks 63 times and all forks wait on a barrier before each
instance creates 20000 timers and afterwards invokes
timer_getoverrun(2) on each of them. The processes are pinned on
seperate CPUs to achive maximum concurrency. The numbers are the
average times per process:
mainline eric newhash xarray
create 157253 ms 40008 ms 83 ms 60 ms
getoverrun 2611 ms 2614 ms 40 ms 4 ms
So clearly the reduction of lock contention with Eric's changes makes a
significant difference for the create() loop, but it does not mitigate the
problem of long list walks, which is clearly visible on the getoverrun()
side because that is purely dominated by the lookup itself. Once the timer
is found, the syscall just reads from the timer structure with no other
locks or code paths involved and returns.
The reason for the difference between the thread and the fork case for the
new hash and the xarray is that both suffer from contention on
sighand::siglock and the xarray suffers additionally from contention on the
xarray lock on insertion.
The only case where the reworked hash slighly outperforms the xarray is a
tight loop which creates and deletes timers.
Test 4:
A process creates 63 threads and all threads wait on a barrier before
each instance runs a loop which creates and deletes a timer 100000
times in a row. The threads are pinned on seperate CPUs to achive
maximum concurrency. The numbers are the average times per thread:
mainline Eric newhash xarray
loop 5917 ms 5897 ms 5473 ms 7846 ms
Test 5:
A process forks 63 times and all forks wait on a barrier before each
each instance runs a loop which creates and deletes a timer 100000
times in a row. The processes are pinned on seperate CPUs to achive
maximum concurrency. The numbers are the average times per process:
mainline Eric newhash xarray
loop 5137 ms 7828 ms 891 ms 872 ms
In both test there is not much contention on the hash, but the ucount
accounting for the signal and in the thread case the sighand::siglock
contention (plus the xarray locking) contribute dominantly to the overhead.
As the memory consumption of the xarray in the sparse ID case is
significant, the scaled hash with per bucket locks seems to be the better
overall option. While the xarray has faster lookup times for a large number
of timers, the actual syscall usage, which requires the lookup is not an
extreme hotpath. Most applications utilize signal delivery and all syscalls
except timer_getoverrun(2) are all but cheap.
So implement a scaled hash with per bucket locks, which offers the best
tradeoff between performance and memory consumption.

The global hash_lock protecting the posix timer hash table can be heavily
contended especially when there is an extensive linear search for a timer
ID.
Timer IDs are handed out by monotonically increasing next_posix_timer_id
and then validating that there is no timer with the same ID in the hash
table. Both operations happen with the global hash lock held.
To reduce the hash lock contention the hash will be reworked to a scaled
hash with per bucket locks, which requires to handle the ID counter
lockless.
Prepare for this by making next_posix_timer_id an atomic_t, which can be
used lockless with atomic_inc_return().

The lookup and locking of posix timers requires the same repeating pattern
at all usage sites:
tmr = lock_timer(tiner_id);
if (!tmr)
return -EINVAL;
....
unlock_timer(tmr);
Solve this with a guard implementation, which works in most places out of
the box except for those, which need to unlock the timer inside the guard
scope.
Though the only places where this matters are timer_delete() and
timer_settime(). In both cases the timer pointer needs to be preserved
across the end of the scope, which is solved by storing the pointer in a
variable outside of the scope.
timer_settime() also has to protect the timer with RCU before unlocking,
which obviously can't use guard(rcu) before leaving the guard scope as that
guard is cleaned up before the unlock. Solve this by providing the RCU
protection open coded.

sys_timer_delete() and the do_exit() cleanup function itimer_delete() are
doing the same thing, but have needlessly different implementations instead
of sharing the code.
The other oddity of timer deletion is the fact that the timer is not
invalidated before the actual deletion happens, which allows concurrent
lookups to succeed.
That's wrong because a timer which is in the process of being deleted
should not be visible and any actions like signal queueing, delivery and
rearming should not happen once the task, which invoked timer_delete(), has
the timer locked.
Rework the code so that:
1) The signal queueing and delivery code ignore timers which are marked
invalid
2) The deletion implementation between sys_timer_delete() and
itimer_delete() is shared
3) The timer is invalidated and removed from the linked lists before
the deletion callback of the relevant clock is invoked.
That requires to rework timer_wait_running() as it does a lookup of
the timer when relocking it at the end. In case of deletion this
lookup would fail due to the preceding invalidation and the wait loop
would terminate prematurely.
But due to the preceding invalidation the timer cannot be accessed by
other tasks anymore, so there is no way that the timer has been freed
after the timer lock has been dropped.
Move the re-validation out of timer_wait_running() and handle it at
the only other usage site, timer_settime().

A timer is only valid in the hashtable when both timer::it_signal and
timer::it_id are set to their final values, but timers are added without
those values being set.
The timer ID is allocated when the timer is added to the hash in invalid
state. The ID is taken from a monotonically increasing per process counter
which wraps around after reaching INT_MAX. The hash insertion validates
that there is no timer with the allocated ID in the hash table which
belongs to the same process. That opens a mostly theoretical race condition:
If other threads of the same process manage to create/delete timers in
rapid succession before the newly created timer is fully initialized and
wrap around to the timer ID which was handed out, then a duplicate timer ID
will be inserted into the hash table.
Prevent this by:
1) Setting timer::it_id before inserting the timer into the hashtable.
2) Storing the signal pointer in timer::it_signal with bit 0 set before
inserting it into the hashtable.
Bit 0 acts as a invalid bit, which means that the regular lookup for
sys_timer_*() will fail the comparison with the signal pointer.
But the lookup on insertion masks out bit 0 and can therefore detect a
timer which is not yet valid, but allocated in the hash table. Bit 0
in the pointer is cleared once the initialization of the timer
completed.

Frederic pointed out that the memory operations to initialize the timer are
not guaranteed to be visible, when __lock_timer() observes timer::it_signal
valid under timer::it_lock:
T0 T1
--------- -----------
do_timer_create()
// A
new_timer->.... = ....
spin_lock(current->sighand)
// B
WRITE_ONCE(new_timer->it_signal, current->signal)
spin_unlock(current->sighand)
sys_timer_*()
t = __lock_timer()
spin_lock(&timr->it_lock)
// observes B
if (timr->it_signal == current->signal)
return timr;
if (!t)
return;
// Is not guaranteed to observe A
Protect the write of timer::it_signal, which makes the timer valid, with
timer::it_lock as well. This guarantees that T1 must observe the
initialization A completely, when it observes the valid signal pointer
under timer::it_lock. sighand::siglock must still be taken to protect the
signal::posix_timers list.

The size argument of strscpy() is only required when the destination
pointer is not a fixed sized array or when the copy needs to be smaller
than the size of the fixed sized destination array.
For fixed sized destination arrays and full copies, strscpy() automatically
determines the length of the destination buffer if the size argument is
omitted.
This makes the explicit sizeof() unnecessary. Remove it.

Currently, ovs_ct_set_labels() is only called for confirmed conntrack
entries (ct) within ovs_ct_commit(). However, if the conntrack entry
does not have the labels_ext extension, attempting to allocate it in
ovs_ct_get_conn_labels() for a confirmed entry triggers a warning in
nf_ct_ext_add():
WARN_ON(nf_ct_is_confirmed(ct));
This happens when the conntrack entry is created externally before OVS
increments net->ct.labels_used. The issue has become more likely since
commit fcb1aa5163b1 ("openvswitch: switch to per-action label counting
in conntrack"), which changed to use per-action label counting and
increment net->ct.labels_used when a flow with ct action is added.
Since there’s no straightforward way to fully resolve this issue at the
moment, this reverts the commit to avoid breaking existing use cases.

The actions length check is unreliable and produces different results
depending on the initial length of the provided netlink attribute and
the composition of the actual actions inside of it. For example, a
user can add 4088 empty clone() actions without triggering -EMSGSIZE,
on attempt to add 4089 such actions the operation will fail with the
-EMSGSIZE verdict. However, if another 16 KB of other actions will
be *appended* to the previous 4089 clone() actions, the check passes
and the flow is successfully installed into the openvswitch datapath.
The reason for a such a weird behavior is the way memory is allocated.
When ovs_flow_cmd_new() is invoked, it calls ovs_nla_copy_actions(),
that in turn calls nla_alloc_flow_actions() with either the actual
length of the user-provided actions or the MAX_ACTIONS_BUFSIZE. The
function adds the size of the sw_flow_actions structure and then the
actually allocated memory is rounded up to the closest power of two.
So, if the user-provided actions are larger than MAX_ACTIONS_BUFSIZE,
then MAX_ACTIONS_BUFSIZE + sizeof(*sfa) rounded up is 32K + 24 -> 64K.
Later, while copying individual actions, we look at ksize(), which is
64K, so this way the MAX_ACTIONS_BUFSIZE check is not actually
triggered and the user can easily allocate almost 64 KB of actions.
However, when the initial size is less than MAX_ACTIONS_BUFSIZE, but
the actions contain ones that require size increase while copying
(such as clone() or sample()), then the limit check will be performed
during the reserve_sfa_size() and the user will not be allowed to
create actions that yield more than 32 KB internally.
This is one part of the problem. The other part is that it's not
actually possible for the userspace application to know beforehand
if the particular set of actions will be rejected or not.
Certain actions require more space in the internal representation,
e.g. an empty clone() takes 4 bytes in the action list passed in by
the user, but it takes 12 bytes in the internal representation due
to an extra nested attribute, and some actions require less space in
the internal representations, e.g. set(tunnel(..)) normally takes
64+ bytes in the action list provided by the user, but only needs to
store a single pointer in the internal implementation, since all the
data is stored in the tunnel_info structure instead.
And the action size limit is applied to the internal representation,
not to the action list passed by the user. So, it's not possible for
the userpsace application to predict if the certain combination of
actions will be rejected or not, because it is not possible for it to
calculate how much space these actions will take in the internal
representation without knowing kernel internals.
All that is causing random failures in ovs-vswitchd in userspace and
inability to handle certain traffic patterns as a result. For example,
it is reported that adding a bit more than a 1100 VMs in an OpenStack
setup breaks the network due to OVS not being able to handle ARP
traffic anymore in some cases (it tries to install a proper datapath
flow, but the kernel rejects it with -EMSGSIZE, even though the action
list isn't actually that large.)
Kernel behavior must be consistent and predictable in order for the
userspace application to use it in a reasonable way. ovs-vswitchd has
a mechanism to re-direct parts of the traffic and partially handle it
in userspace if the required action list is oversized, but that doesn't
work properly if we can't actually tell if the action list is oversized
or not.
Solution for this is to check the size of the user-provided actions
instead of the internal representation. This commit just removes the
check from the internal part because there is already an implicit size
check imposed by the netlink protocol. The attribute can't be larger
than 64 KB. Realistically, we could reduce the limit to 32 KB, but
we'll be risking to break some existing setups that rely on the fact
that it's possible to create nearly 64 KB action lists today.
Vast majority of flows in real setups are below 100-ish bytes. So
removal of the limit will not change real memory consumption on the
system. The absolutely worst case scenario is if someone adds a flow
with 64 KB of empty clone() actions. That will yield a 192 KB in the
internal representation consuming 256 KB block of memory. However,
that list of actions is not meaningful and also a no-op. Real world
very large action lists (that can occur for a rare cases of BUM
traffic handling) are unlikely to contain a large number of clones and
will likely have a lot of tunnel attributes making the internal
representation comparable in size to the original action list.
So, it should be fine to just remove the limit.
Commit in the 'Fixes' tag is the first one that introduced the
difference between internal representation and the user-provided action
lists, but there were many more afterwards that lead to the situation
we have today.

====================
gre: Fix regressions in IPv6 link-local address generation.
IPv6 link-local address generation has some special cases for GRE
devices. This has led to several regressions in the past, and some of
them are still not fixed. This series fixes the remaining problems,
like the ipv6.conf.<dev>.addr_gen_mode sysctl being ignored and the
router discovery process not being started (see details in patch 1).
To avoid any further regressions, patch 2 adds selftests covering
IPv4 and IPv6 gre/gretap devices with all combinations of currently
supported addr_gen_mode values.

GRE devices have their special code for IPv6 link-local address
generation that has been the source of several regressions in the past.
Add selftest to check that all gre, ip6gre, gretap and ip6gretap get an
IPv6 link-link local address in accordance with the
net.ipv6.conf.<dev>.addr_gen_mode sysctl.

Use addrconf_addr_gen() to generate IPv6 link-local addresses on GRE
devices in most cases and fall back to using add_v4_addrs() only in
case the GRE configuration is incompatible with addrconf_addr_gen().
GRE used to use addrconf_addr_gen() until commit e5dd729460ca
("ip/ip6_gre: use the same logic as SIT interfaces when computing v6LL
address") restricted this use to gretap and ip6gretap devices, and
created add_v4_addrs() (borrowed from SIT) for non-Ethernet GRE ones.
The original problem came when commit 9af28511be10 ("addrconf: refuse
isatap eui64 for INADDR_ANY") made __ipv6_isatap_ifid() fail when its
addr parameter was 0. The commit says that this would create an invalid
address, however, I couldn't find any RFC saying that the generated
interface identifier would be wrong. Anyway, since gre over IPv4
devices pass their local tunnel address to __ipv6_isatap_ifid(), that
commit broke their IPv6 link-local address generation when the local
address was unspecified.
Then commit e5dd729460ca ("ip/ip6_gre: use the same logic as SIT
interfaces when computing v6LL address") tried to fix that case by
defining add_v4_addrs() and calling it to generate the IPv6 link-local
address instead of using addrconf_addr_gen() (apart for gretap and
ip6gretap devices, which would still use the regular
addrconf_addr_gen(), since they have a MAC address).
That broke several use cases because add_v4_addrs() isn't properly
integrated into the rest of IPv6 Neighbor Discovery code. Several of
these shortcomings have been fixed over time, but add_v4_addrs()
remains broken on several aspects. In particular, it doesn't send any
Router Sollicitations, so the SLAAC process doesn't start until the
interface receives a Router Advertisement. Also, add_v4_addrs() mostly
ignores the address generation mode of the interface
(/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/addr_gen_mode), thus breaking the
IN6_ADDR_GEN_MODE_RANDOM and IN6_ADDR_GEN_MODE_STABLE_PRIVACY cases.
Fix the situation by using add_v4_addrs() only in the specific scenario
where the normal method would fail. That is, for interfaces that have
all of the following characteristics:
* run over IPv4,
* transport IP packets directly, not Ethernet (that is, not gretap
interfaces),
* tunnel endpoint is INADDR_ANY (that is, 0),
* device address generation mode is EUI64.
In all other cases, revert back to the regular addrconf_addr_gen().
Also, remove the special case for ip6gre interfaces in add_v4_addrs(),
since ip6gre devices now always use addrconf_addr_gen() instead.

There is an incorrect calculation in the offset variable which causes
the nft_skb_copy_to_reg() function to always return -EFAULT. Adding the
start variable is redundant. In the __ip_options_compile() function the
correct offset is specified when finding the function. There is no need
to add the size of the iphdr structure to the offset.
