pskb_may_pull may fail due to various reasons (e.g. alloc failure), but the
skb isn't changed/dropped and processing continues so we shouldn't
increment tx_dropped.

In a dual bearer configuration, if the second tipc link becomes
active while the first link still has pending nametable "bulk"
updates, it randomly leads to reset of the second link.
When a link is established, the function named_distribute(),
fills the skb based on node mtu (allows room for TUNNEL_PROTOCOL)
with NAME_DISTRIBUTOR message for each PUBLICATION.
However, the function named_distribute() allocates the buffer by
increasing the node mtu by INT_H_SIZE (to insert NAME_DISTRIBUTOR).
This consumes the space allocated for TUNNEL_PROTOCOL.
When establishing the second link, the link shall tunnel all the
messages in the first link queue including the "bulk" update.
As size of the NAME_DISTRIBUTOR messages while tunnelling, exceeds
the link mtu the transmission fails (-EMSGSIZE).
Thus, the synch point based on the message count of the tunnel
packets is never reached leading to link timeout.
In this commit, we adjust the size of name distributor message so that
they can be tunnelled.

Dmitry reported a double free on kcm socket, which could
be easily reproduced by:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
int main()
{
int fd = syscall(SYS_socket, 0x29ul, 0x5ul, 0x0ul, 0, 0, 0);
syscall(SYS_ioctl, fd, 0x89e2ul, 0x20a98000ul, 0, 0, 0);
return 0;
}
This is because on the error path, after we install
the new socket file, we call sock_release() to clean
up the socket, which leaves the fd pointing to a freed
socket. Fix this by calling sys_close() on that fd
directly.

As reported by Lennert the MPLS GSO code is failing to properly segment
large packets. There are a couple of problems:
1. the inner protocol is not set so the gso segment functions for inner
protocol layers are not getting run, and
2 MPLS labels for packets that use the "native" (non-OVS) MPLS code
are not properly accounted for in mpls_gso_segment.
The MPLS GSO code was added for OVS. It is re-using skb_mac_gso_segment
to call the gso segment functions for the higher layer protocols. That
means skb_mac_gso_segment is called twice -- once with the network
protocol set to MPLS and again with the network protocol set to the
inner protocol.
This patch sets the inner skb protocol addressing item 1 above and sets
the network_header and inner_network_header to mark where the MPLS labels
start and end. The MPLS code in OVS is also updated to set the two
network markers.
>From there the MPLS GSO code uses the difference between the network
header and the inner network header to know the size of the MPLS header
that was pushed. It then pulls the MPLS header, resets the mac_len and
protocol for the inner protocol and then calls skb_mac_gso_segment
to segment the skb.
Afterward the inner protocol segmentation is done the skb protocol
is set to mpls for each segment and the network and mac headers
restored.

Today mpls iptunnel lwtunnel_output redirect expects the tunnel
output function to handle fragmentation. This is ok but can be
avoided if we did not do the mpls output redirect too early.
ie we could wait until ip fragmentation is done and then call
mpls output for each ip fragment.
To make this work we will need,
1) the lwtunnel state to carry encap headroom
2) and do the redirect to the encap output handler on the ip fragment
(essentially do the output redirect after fragmentation)
This patch adds tunnel headroom in lwtstate to make sure we
account for tunnel data in mtu calculations during fragmentation
and adds new xmit redirect handler to redirect to lwtunnel xmit func
after ip fragmentation.
This includes IPV6 and some mtu fixes and testing from David Ahern.

Conntrack gc worker to evict stale entries.
GC happens once every 5 seconds, but we only scan at most 1/64th of the
table (and not more than 8k) buckets to avoid hogging cpu.
This means that a complete scan of the table will take several minutes
of wall-clock time.
Considering that the gc run will never have to evict any entries
during normal operation because those will happen from packet path
this should be fine.
We only need gc to make sure userspace (conntrack event listeners)
eventually learn of the timeout, and for resource reclaim in case the
system becomes idle.
We do not disable BH and cond_resched for every bucket so this should
not introduce noticeable latencies either.
A followup patch will add a small change to speed up GC for the extreme
case where most entries are timed out on an otherwise idle system.
v2: Use cond_resched_rcu_qs & add comment wrt. missing restart on
nulls value change in gc worker, suggested by Eric Dumazet.

When dumping we already have to look at the entire table, so we might
as well toss those entries whose timeout value is in the past.
We also look at every entry during resize operations.
However, eviction there is not as simple because we hold the
global resize lock so we can't evict without adding a 'expired' list
to drop from later. Considering that resizes are very rare it doesn't
seem worth doing it.

With stats enabled this eats 80 bytes on x86_64 per nf_conn entry, as
Eric Dumazet pointed out during netfilter workshop 2016.
Eric also says: "Another reason was the fact that Thomas was about to
change max timer range [..]" (500462a9de657f8, 'timers: Switch to
a non-cascading wheel').
Remove the timer and use a 32bit jiffies value containing timestamp until
entry is valid.
During conntrack lookup, even before doing tuple comparision, check
the timeout value and evict the entry in case it is too old.
The dying bit is used as a synchronization point to avoid races where
multiple cpus try to evict the same entry.
Because lookup is always lockless, we need to bump the refcnt once
when we evict, else we could try to evict already-dead entry that
is being recycled.
This is the standard/expected way when conntrack entries are destroyed.
Followup patches will introduce garbage colliction via work queue
and further places where we can reap obsoleted entries (e.g. during
netlink dumps), this is needed to avoid expired conntracks from hanging
around for too long when lookup rate is low after a busy period.

The reliable event delivery mode currently (ab)uses the DYING bit to
detect which entries on the dying list have to be skipped when
re-delivering events from the eache worker in reliable event mode.
Currently when we delete the conntrack from main table we only set this
bit if we could also deliver the netlink destroy event to userspace.
If we fail we move it to the dying list, the ecache worker will
reattempt event delivery for all confirmed conntracks on the dying list
that do not have the DYING bit set.
Once timer is gone, we can no longer use if (del_timer()) to detect
when we 'stole' the reference count owned by the timer/hash entry, so
we need some other way to avoid racing with other cpu.
Pablo suggested to add a marker in the ecache extension that skips
entries that have been unhashed from main table but are still waiting
for the last reference count to be dropped (e.g. because one skb waiting
on nfqueue verdict still holds a reference).
We do this by adding a tristate.
If we fail to deliver the destroy event, make a note of this in the
eache extension. The worker can then skip all entries that are in
a different state. Either they never delivered a destroy event,
e.g. because the netlink backend was not loaded, or redelivery took
place already.
Once the conntrack timer is removed we will now be able to replace
del_timer() test with test_and_set_bit(DYING, &ct->status) to avoid
racing with other cpu that tries to evict the same conntrack.
Because DYING will then be set right before we report the destroy event
we can no longer skip event reporting when dying bit is set.

When TCP operates in lossy environments (between 1 and 10 % packet
losses), many SACK blocks can be exchanged, and I noticed we could
drop them on busy senders, if these SACK blocks have to be queued
into the socket backlog.
While the main cause is the poor performance of RACK/SACK processing,
we can try to avoid these drops of valuable information that can lead to
spurious timeouts and retransmits.
Cause of the drops is the skb->truesize overestimation caused by :
- drivers allocating ~2048 (or more) bytes as a fragment to hold an
Ethernet frame.
- various pskb_may_pull() calls bringing the headers into skb->head
might have pulled all the frame content, but skb->truesize could
not be lowered, as the stack has no idea of each fragment truesize.
The backlog drops are also more visible on bidirectional flows, since
their sk_rmem_alloc can be quite big.
Let's add some room for the backlog, as only the socket owner
can selectively take action to lower memory needs, like collapsing
receive queues or partial ofo pruning.

When using replicast a UDP bearer can have an arbitrary amount of
remote ip addresses associated with it. This means we cannot simply
add all remote ip addresses to an existing bearer data message as it
might fill the message, leaving us with a truncated message that we
can't safely resume. To handle this we introduce the new netlink
command TIPC_NL_UDP_GET_REMOTEIP. This command is intended to be
called when the bearer data message has the
TIPC_NLA_UDP_MULTI_REMOTEIP flag set, indicating there are more than
one remote ip (replicast).

This patch introduces UDP replicast. A concept where we emulate
multicast by sending multiple unicast messages to configured peers.
The purpose of replicast is mainly to be able to use TIPC in cloud

copies individually.
