Add a flag attribute to use in associations, for tagging the target
connection as supporting RRM. It is the responsibility of upper
layers to set this flag only if both the underlying device, and the
target network indeed support RRM.

As in IPv6 people might increase the igmp query robustness variable to
make sure unsolicited state change reports aren't lost on the network. Add
and document this new knob to igmp code.
RFCs allow tuning this parameter back to first IGMP RFC, so we also use
this setting for all counters, including source specific multicast.
Also take over sysctl value when upping the interface and don't reuse
the last one seen on the interface.

This patch adds a new sysctl_mld_qrv knob to configure the mldv1/v2 query
robustness variable. It specifies how many retransmit of unsolicited mld
retransmit should happen. Admins might want to tune this on lossy links.
Also reset mld state on interface down/up, so we pick up new sysctl
settings during interface up event.
IPv6 certification requests this knob to be available.
I didn't make this knob netns specific, as it is mostly a setting in a
physical environment and should be per host.

In commit 50cbe9ab5f8d ("net: Validate xmit SKBs right when we
pull them out of the qdisc") the validation code was moved out of
dev_hard_start_xmit and into dequeue_skb.
However this overlooked the fact that we do not always enqueue
the skb onto a qdisc. First situation is if qdisc have flag
TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS and qdisc is empty. Second situation is if
there is no qdisc on the device, which is a common case for
software devices.
Originally spotted and inital patch by Alexander Duyck.
As a result Alex was seeing issues trying to connect to a
vhost_net interface after commit 50cbe9ab5f8d was applied.
Added a call to validate_xmit_skb() in __dev_xmit_skb(), in the
code path for qdiscs with TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS flag, and in
__dev_queue_xmit() when no qdisc.
Also handle the error situation where dev_hard_start_xmit() could
return a skb list, and does not return dev_xmit_complete(rc) and
falls through to the kfree_skb(), in that situation it should
call kfree_skb_list().

Fixing exit cases in qdisc_reset() and qdisc_destroy(), where a
leftover requeued SKB (qdisc->gso_skb) can have the potential of

We have to wait until the full batch has been processed to deliver the
netlink error messages to userspace. Otherwise, we may deliver
duplicated errors to userspace in case that we need to abort and replay
the transaction if any of the required modules needs to be autoloaded.
A simple way to reproduce this (assumming nft_meta is not loaded) with
the following test file:
add table filter
add chain filter test
add chain bad test # intentional wrong unexistent table
add rule filter test meta mark 0
Then, when trying to load the batch:
# nft -f test
test:4:1-19: Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory
add chain bad test
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
test:4:1-19: Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory
add chain bad test
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The error is reported twice, once when the batch is aborted due to
missing nft_meta and another when it is fully processed.

When starting an offloaded BA session it is
unknown what starting sequence number should be
used. Using last_seq worked in most cases except
after hw restart.
When hw restart is requested last_seq is
(rightfully so) kept unmodified. This ended up
with BA sessions being restarted with an aribtrary
BA window values resulting in dropped frames until
sequence numbers caught up.
Instead of last_seq pick seqno of a first Rxed
frame of a given BA session.
This fixes stalled traffic after hw restart with
offloaded BA sessions (currently only ath10k).

In testmode and vendor command reply/event SKBs we use the
skb cb data to store nl80211 parameters between allocation
and sending. This causes the code for CONFIG_NETLINK_MMAP
to get confused, because it takes ownership of the skb cb
data when the SKB is handed off to netlink, and it doesn't
explicitly clear it.
Clear the skb cb explicitly when we're done and before it
gets passed to netlink to avoid this issue.

pull request: Netfilter/IPVS fixes for net
The following patchset contains seven Netfilter fixes for your net
tree, they are:
1) Make the NAT infrastructure independent of x_tables, some users are
already starting to test nf_tables with NAT without enabling x_tables.
Without this patch for Kconfig, there's a superfluous dependency
between NAT and x_tables.
2) Allow to use 0 in the cgroup match, the kernel rejects with -EINVAL
with no good reason. From Daniel Borkmann.
3) Select CONFIG_NF_NAT from the nf_tables NAT expression, this also
resolves another NAT dependency with x_tables.
4) Use HAVE_JUMP_LABEL instead of CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL in the Netfilter hook
code as elsewhere in the kernel to resolve toolchain problems, from
Zhouyi Zhou.
5) Use iptunnel_handle_offloads() to set up tunnel encapsulation
depending on the offload capabilities, reported by Alex Gartrell
patch from Julian Anastasov.
6) Fix wrong family when registering the ip_vs_local_reply6() hook,
also from Julian.
7) Select the NF_LOG_* symbols from NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_LOG. Rafał
Miłecki reported that when jumping from 3.16 to 3.17-rc, his log
target is not selected anymore due to changes in the previous
development cycle to accomodate the full logging support for
nf_tables.

Enable to specify local and remote prefix length thresholds for the
policy hash table via a netlink XFRM_MSG_NEWSPDINFO message.
prefix length thresholds are specified by XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH and
XFRMA_SPD_IPV6_HTHRESH optional attributes (struct xfrmu_spdhthresh).
example:
struct xfrmu_spdhthresh thresh4 = {
.lbits = 0;
.rbits = 24;
};
struct xfrmu_spdhthresh thresh6 = {
.lbits = 0;
.rbits = 56;
};
struct nlmsghdr *hdr;
struct nl_msg *msg;
msg = nlmsg_alloc();
hdr = nlmsg_put(msg, NL_AUTO_PORT, NL_AUTO_SEQ, XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH, sizeof(__u32), NLM_F_REQUEST);
nla_put(msg, XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH, sizeof(thresh4), &thresh4);
nla_put(msg, XFRMA_SPD_IPV6_HTHRESH, sizeof(thresh6), &thresh6);
nla_send_auto(sk, msg);
The numbers are the policy selector minimum prefix lengths to put a
policy in the hash table.
- lbits is the local threshold (source address for out policies,
destination address for in and fwd policies).
- rbits is the remote threshold (destination address for out
policies, source address for in and fwd policies).
The default values are:
XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH: 32 32
XFRMA_SPD_IPV6_HTHRESH: 128 128
Dynamic re-building of the SPD is performed when the thresholds values
are changed.
The current thresholds can be read via a XFRM_MSG_GETSPDINFO request:
the kernel replies to XFRM_MSG_GETSPDINFO requests by an
XFRM_MSG_NEWSPDINFO message, with both attributes
XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH and XFRMA_SPD_IPV6_HTHRESH.

The idea is an extension of the current policy hashing.
Today only non-prefixed policies are stored in a hash table. This
patch relaxes the constraints, and hashes policies whose prefix
lengths are greater or equal to a configurable threshold.
Each hash table (one per direction) maintains its own set of IPv4 and
IPv6 thresholds (dbits4, sbits4, dbits6, sbits6), by default (32, 32,
128, 128).
Example, if the output hash table is configured with values (16, 24,
56, 64):
ip xfrm policy add dir out src 10.22.0.0/20 dst 10.24.1.0/24 ... => hashed
ip xfrm policy add dir out src 10.22.0.0/16 dst 10.24.1.1/32 ... => hashed
ip xfrm policy add dir out src 10.22.0.0/16 dst 10.24.0.0/16 ... => unhashed
ip xfrm policy add dir out \
src 3ffe:304:124:2200::/60 dst 3ffe:304:124:2401::/64 ... => hashed
ip xfrm policy add dir out \
src 3ffe:304:124:2200::/56 dst 3ffe:304:124:2401::2/128 ... => hashed
ip xfrm policy add dir out \
src 3ffe:304:124:2200::/56 dst 3ffe:304:124:2400::/56 ... => unhashed
The high order bits of the addresses (up to the threshold) are used to
compute the hash key.

sk->sk_error_queue is dequeued in four locations. All share the
exact same logic. Deduplicate.
Also collapse the two critical sections for dequeue (at the top of
the recv handler) and signal (at the bottom).
This moves signal generation for the next packet forward, which should
be harmless.
It also changes the behavior if the recv handler exits early with an
error. Previously, a signal for follow-up packets on the errqueue
would then not be scheduled. The new behavior, to always signal, is
arguably a bug fix.
For rxrpc, the change causes the same function to be called repeatedly
for each queued packet (because the recv handler == sk_error_report).
It is likely that all packets will fail for the same reason (e.g.,
memory exhaustion).
This code runs without sk_lock held, so it is not safe to trust that
sk->sk_err is immutable inbetween releasing q->lock and the subsequent
test. Introduce int err just to avoid this potential race.

conversion in UDP tunneling path.
In the normal UDP path, we call skb_checksum_try_convert after locating
the UDP socket. The check is that checksum conversion is enabled for
the socket (new flag in UDP socket) and that checksum field is
non-zero.
In the UDP GRO path, we call skb_gro_checksum_try_convert after

This flag indicates that an invalid checksum was detected in the
packet. __skb_mark_checksum_bad helper function was added to set this.
Checksums can be marked bad from a driver or the GRO path (the latter
is implemented in this patch). csum_bad is checked in
__skb_checksum_validate_complete (i.e. calling that when ip_summed ==
CHECKSUM_NONE).
csum_bad works in conjunction with ip_summed value. In the case that
ip_summed is CHECKSUM_NONE and csum_bad is set, this implies that the
first (or next) checksum encountered in the packet is bad. When
ip_summed is CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, the first checksum after the last
one validated is bad. For example, if ip_summed == CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY,
csum_level == 1, and csum_bad is set-- then the third checksum in the
packet is bad. In the normal path, the packet will be dropped when
processing the protocol layer of the bad checksum:
__skb_decr_checksum_unnecessary called twice for the good checksums
changing ip_summed to CHECKSUM_NONE so that
__skb_checksum_validate_complete is called to validate the third
checksum and that will fail since csum_bad is set.

Then testing the TX limits of the stack, then it is useful to
be-able to disable the do_gettimeofday() timetamping on every packet.
This implements a pktgen flag NO_TIMESTAMP which will disable this
call to do_gettimeofday().
The performance change on (my system E5-2695) with skb_clone=0, goes
from TX 2,423,751 pps to 2,567,165 pps with flag NO_TIMESTAMP. Thus,

TIPC name table updates are distributed asynchronously in a cluster,
entailing a risk of certain race conditions. E.g., if two nodes
simultaneously issue conflicting (overlapping) publications, this may
not be detected until both publications have reached a third node, in
which case one of the publications will be silently dropped on that
node. Hence, we end up with an inconsistent name table.
In most cases this conflict is just a temporary race, e.g., one
node is issuing a publication under the assumption that a previous,
conflicting, publication has already been withdrawn by the other node.
However, because of the (rtt related) distributed update delay, this
may not yet hold true on all nodes. The symptom of this failure is a
syslog message: "tipc: Cannot publish {%u,%u,%u}, overlap error".
In this commit we add a resiliency queue at the receiving end of
the name table distributor. When insertion of an arriving publication
fails, we retain it in this queue for a short amount of time, assuming
that another update will arrive very soon and clear the conflict. If so
happens, we insert the publication, otherwise we drop it.
The (configurable) retention value defaults to 2000 ms. Knowing from
experience that the situation described above is extremely rare, there
is no risk that the queue will accumulate any large number of items.

We need to perform the same actions when processing deferred name
table updates, so this functionality is moved to a separate
function.

Now fundamentally we can process lists of SKBs as cheaply
as single packets.

Just maintain the list properly by returning the head of the remaining
SKB list from dev_hard_start_xmit().

dev_hard_start_xmit() does two things, it first validates and
canonicalizes the SKB, then it actually sends it.
Make a set of helper functions for doing the first part.

For now it will always be false.

There is a slight policy change happening here as well.
The previous code would drop the entire rest of the GSO skb if any of
them got, for example, a congestion notification.
That makes no sense, anything NET_XMIT_MASK and below is something
like congestion or policing. And in the congestion case it doesn't
even mean the packet was actually dropped.
Just continue until dev_xmit_complete() evaluates to false.

Hopefully making the code a bit easier to read and digest.
