This is a forward-port of the original patch from Andrzej Hajda,
he said:
"IS_ERR_VALUE should be used only with unsigned long type.
Otherwise it can work incorrectly. To achieve this function
xt_percpu_counter_alloc is modified to return unsigned long,
and its result is assigned to temporary variable to perform
error checking, before assigning to .pcnt field.
The patch follows conclusion from discussion on LKML [1][2].

Linux TCP stack painfully segments all TSO/GSO packets before retransmits.
This was fine back in the days when TSO/GSO were emerging, with their
bugs, but we believe the dark age is over.
Keeping big packets in write queues, but also in stack traversal
has a lot of benefits.
- Less memory overhead, because write queues have less skbs
- Less cpu overhead at ACK processing.
- Better SACK processing, as lot of studies mentioned how
awful linux was at this ;)
- Less cpu overhead to send the rtx packets
(IP stack traversal, netfilter traversal, drivers...)
- Better latencies in presence of losses.
- Smaller spikes in fq like packet schedulers, as retransmits
are not constrained by TCP Small Queues.
1 % packet losses are common today, and at 100Gbit speeds, this
translates to ~80,000 losses per second.
Losses are often correlated, and we see many retransmit events
leading to 1-MSS train of packets, at the time hosts are already
under stress.

Netfilter updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
tree, mostly from Florian Westphal to sort out the lack of sufficient
validation in x_tables and connlabel preparation patches to add
nf_tables support. They are:
1) Ensure we don't go over the ruleset blob boundaries in
mark_source_chains().
2) Validate that target jumps land on an existing xt_entry. This extra
sanitization comes with a performance penalty when loading the ruleset.
3) Introduce xt_check_entry_offsets() and use it from {arp,ip,ip6}tables.
4) Get rid of the smallish check_entry() functions in {arp,ip,ip6}tables.
5) Make sure the minimal possible target size in x_tables.
6) Similar to #3, add xt_compat_check_entry_offsets() for compat code.
7) Check that standard target size is valid.
8) More sanitization to ensure that the target_offset field is correct.
9) Add xt_check_entry_match() to validate that matches are well-formed.
10-12) Three patch to reduce the number of parameters in
translate_compat_table() for {arp,ip,ip6}tables by using a container
structure.
13) No need to return value from xt_compat_match_from_user(), so make
it void.
14) Consolidate translate_table() so it can be used by compat code too.
15) Remove obsolete check for compat code, so we keep consistent with
what was already removed in the native layout code (back in 2007).
16) Get rid of target jump validation from mark_source_chains(),
obsoleted by #2.
17) Introduce xt_copy_counters_from_user() to consolidate counter
copying, and use it from {arp,ip,ip6}tables.
18,22) Get rid of unnecessary explicit inlining in ctnetlink for dump
functions.
19) Move nf_connlabel_match() to xt_connlabel.
20) Skip event notification if connlabel did not change.
21) Update of nf_connlabels_get() to make the upcoming nft connlabel
support easier.
23) Remove spinlock to read protocol state field in conntrack.

Currently all drivers depend and autoload the vxlan module because how
vxlan_get_rx_port is linked into them. Remove this dependency:
By using a new event type in the netdevice notifier call chain we proxy
the request from the drivers to flush and resetup the vxlan ports not
directly via function call but by the already existing netdevice
notifier call chain.
I added a separate new event type, NETDEV_OFFLOAD_PUSH_VXLAN, to do so.
We don't need to save those ids, as the event type field is an unsigned
long and using specialized event types for this purpose seemed to be a
more elegant way. This also comes in beneficial if in future we want to
add offloading knobs for vxlan.

Introduce the feature of multi-packet WQE (RX Work Queue Element)
referred to as (MPWQE or Striding RQ), in which WQEs are larger
and serve multiple packets each.
Every WQE consists of many strides of the same size, every received
packet is aligned to a beginning of a stride and is written to
consecutive strides within a WQE.
In the regular approach, each regular WQE is big enough to be capable
of serving one received packet of any size up to MTU or 64K in case of
device LRO is enabled, making it very wasteful when dealing with
small packets or device LRO is enabled.
For its flexibility, MPWQE allows a better memory utilization
(implying improvements in CPU utilization and packet rate) as packets
consume strides according to their size, preserving the rest of
the WQE to be available for other packets.
MPWQE default configuration:
Num of WQEs = 16
Strides Per WQE = 2048
Stride Size = 64 byte
The default WQEs memory footprint went from 1024*mtu (~1.5MB) to
16 * 2048 * 64 = 2MB per ring.
However, HW LRO can now be supported at no additional cost in memory
footprint, and hence we turn it on by default and get an even better
performance.
Performance tested on ConnectX4-Lx 50G.
To isolate the feature under test, the numbers below were measured with
HW LRO turned off. We verified that the performance just improves when
LRO is turned back on.
* Netperf single TCP stream:
- BW raised by 10-15% for representative packet sizes:
default, 64B, 1024B, 1478B, 65536B.
* Netperf multi TCP stream:
- No degradation, line rate reached.
* Pktgen: packet rate raised by 2-10% for traffic of different message
sizes: 64B, 128B, 256B, 1024B, and 1500B.
* Pktgen: packet loss in bursts of small messages (64byte),
single stream:
- | num packets | packets loss before | packets loss after
| 2K | ~ 1K | 0
| 8K | ~ 6K | 0
| 16K | ~13K | 0
| 32K | ~28K | 0
| 64K | ~57K | ~24K
As expected as the driver can receive as many small packets (<=64B) as
the number of total strides in the ring (default = 2048 * 16) vs. 1024
(default ring size regardless of packets size) before this feature.

This patch adds a new RTM_GETSTATS message to query link stats via netlink
from the kernel. RTM_NEWLINK also dumps stats today, but RTM_NEWLINK
returns a lot more than just stats and is expensive in some cases when
frequent polling for stats from userspace is a common operation.
RTM_GETSTATS is an attempt to provide a light weight netlink message
to explicity query only link stats from the kernel on an interface.
The idea is to also keep it extensible so that new kinds of stats can be
added to it in the future.
This patch adds the following attribute for NETDEV stats:
struct nla_policy ifla_stats_policy[IFLA_STATS_MAX + 1] = {
[IFLA_STATS_LINK_64] = { .len = sizeof(struct rtnl_link_stats64) },
};
Like any other rtnetlink message, RTM_GETSTATS can be used to get stats of
a single interface or all interfaces with NLM_F_DUMP.
Future possible new types of stat attributes:
link af stats:
- IFLA_STATS_LINK_IPV6 (nested. for ipv6 stats)
- IFLA_STATS_LINK_MPLS (nested. for mpls/mdev stats)
extended stats:
- IFLA_STATS_LINK_EXTENDED (nested. extended software netdev stats like bridge,
vlan, vxlan etc)
- IFLA_STATS_LINK_HW_EXTENDED (nested. extended hardware stats which are
available via ethtool today)
This patch also declares a filter mask for all stat attributes.
User has to provide a mask of stats attributes to query. filter mask
can be specified in the new hdr 'struct if_stats_msg' for stats messages.
Other important field in the header is the ifindex.
This api can also include attributes for global stats (eg tcp) in the future.
When global stats are included in a stats msg, the ifindex in the header
must be zero. A single stats message cannot contain both global and
netdev specific stats. To easily distinguish them, netdev specific stat
attributes name are prefixed with IFLA_STATS_LINK_
Without any attributes in the filter_mask, no stats will be returned.
This patch has been tested with mofified iproute2 ifstat.

When using LVS-NAT and SIP persistence-egine over UDP, the following
limitations are present with current implementation:
1) To actually have load-balancing based on Call-ID header, you need to
use one-packet-scheduling mode. But with one-packet-scheduling the
connection is deleted just after packet is forwarded, so SIP responses
coming from real-servers do not match any connection and SNAT is
not applied.
2) If you do not use "-o" option, IPVS behaves as normal UDP load
balancer, so different SIP calls (each one identified by a different
Call-ID) coming from the same ip-address/port go to the same
real-server. So basically you don’t have load-balancing based on
Call-ID as intended.
3) Call-ID is not learned when a new SIP call is started by a real-server
(inside-to-outside direction), but only in the outside-to-inside
direction. This would be a general problem for all SIP servers acting
as Back2BackUserAgent.
This patch aims to solve problems 1) and 3) while keeping OPS mode
mandatory for SIP-UDP, so that 2) is not a problem anymore.
The basic mechanism implemented is to make packets, that do not match any
existent connection but come from real-servers, create new connections
instead of let them pass without any effect.
When such packets pass through ip_vs_out(), if their source ip address and
source port match a configured real-server, a new connection is
automatically created in the same way as it would have happened if the
packet had come from outside-to-inside direction. A new connection template
is created too if the virtual-service is persistent and there is no
matching connection template found. The new connection automatically
created, if the service had "-o" option, is an OPS connection that lasts
only the time to forward the packet, just like it happens on the
ingress side.
The main part of this mechanism is implemented inside a persistent-engine
specific callback (at the moment only SIP persistent engine exists) and
is triggered only for UDP packets, since connection oriented protocols, by
using different set of ports (typically ephemeral ports) to open new
outgoing connections, should not need this feature.
The following requisites are needed for automatic connection creation; if
any is missing the packet simply goes the same way as before.
a) virtual-service is not fwmark based (this is because fwmark services
do not store address and port of the virtual-service, required to
build the connection data).
b) virtual-service and real-servers must not have been configured with
omitted port (this is again to have all data to create the connection).

This patch adds a new helper for cls/act programs that can push events
to user space applications. For networking, this can be f.e. for sampling,
debugging, logging purposes or pushing of arbitrary wake-up events. The
idea is similar to a43eec3042 ("bpf: introduce bpf_perf_event_output()
helper") and 39111695b1 ("samples: bpf: add bpf_perf_event_output example").
The eBPF program utilizes a perf event array map that user space populates
with fds from perf_event_open(), the eBPF program calls into the helper
f.e. as skb_event_output(skb, &my_map, BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU, raw, sizeof(raw))
so that the raw data is pushed into the fd f.e. at the map index of the
current CPU.
User space can poll/mmap/etc on this and has a data channel for receiving
events that can be post-processed. The nice thing is that since the eBPF
program and user space application making use of it are tightly coupled,
they can define their own arbitrary raw data format and what/when they
want to push.
While f.e. packet headers could be one part of the meta data that is being
pushed, this is not a substitute for things like packet sockets as whole
packet is not being pushed and push is only done in a single direction.
Intention is more of a generically usable, efficient event pipe to applications.
Workflow is that tc can pin the map and applications can attach themselves
e.g. after cls/act setup to one or multiple map slots, demuxing is done by
the eBPF program.
Adding this facility is with minimal effort, it reuses the helper
introduced in a43eec3042 ("bpf: introduce bpf_perf_event_output() helper")
and we get its functionality for free by overloading its BPF_FUNC_ identifier
for cls/act programs, ctx is currently unused, but will be made use of in
future. Example will be added to iproute2's BPF example files.

Since the nlattr header is 4 bytes in size, it can cause the netlink
attribute payload to not be 8-byte aligned.
This is particularly troublesome for IFLA_STATS64 which contains 64-bit
statistic values.
Solve this by creating a dummy IFLA_PAD attribute which has a payload
which is zero bytes in size. When HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is
false, we insert an IFLA_PAD attribute into the netlink response when
necessary such that the IFLA_STATS64 payload will be properly aligned.

Revert "PCI: imx6: Add support for active-low reset GPIO"
This gets rid of the horrible notion of having that
struct inode *ptmx_inode
be the linchpin of the interface between the pty code and devpts.
By de-emphasizing the ptmx inode, a lot of things actually get cleaner,
and we will have a much saner way forward. In particular, this will
allow us to associate with any particular devpts instance at open-time,
and not be artificially tied to one particular ptmx inode.
The patch itself is actually fairly straightforward, and apart from some
locking and return path cleanups it's pretty mechanical:
- the interfaces that devpts exposes all take "struct pts_fs_info *"
instead of "struct inode *ptmx_inode" now.
NOTE! The "struct pts_fs_info" thing is a completely opaque structure
as far as the pty driver is concerned: it's still declared entirely
internally to devpts. So the pty code can't actually access it in any
way, just pass it as a "cookie" to the devpts code.
- the "look up the pts fs info" is now a single clear operation, that
also does the reference count increment on the pts superblock.
So "devpts_add/del_ref()" is gone, and replaced by a "lookup and get
ref" operation (devpts_get_ref(inode)), along with a "put ref" op
(devpts_put_ref()).
- the pty master "tty->driver_data" field now contains the pts_fs_info,
not the ptmx inode.
- because we don't care about the ptmx inode any more as some kind of
base index, the ref counting can now drop the inode games - it just
gets the ref on the superblock.
- the pts_fs_info now has a back-pointer to the super_block. That's so
that we can easily look up the information we actually need. Although
quite often, the pts fs info was actually all we wanted, and not having
to look it up based on some magical inode makes things more
straightforward.
In particular, now that "devpts_get_ref(inode)" operation should really
be the *only* place we need to look up what devpts instance we're
associated with, and we do it exactly once, at ptmx_open() time.
The other side of this is that one ptmx node could now be associated
with multiple different devpts instances - you could have a single
/dev/ptmx node, and then have multiple mount namespaces with their own
instances of devpts mounted on /dev/pts/. And that's all perfectly sane
in a model where we just look up the pts instance at open time.
This will eventually allow us to get rid of our odd single-vs-multiple
pts instance model, but this patch in itself changes no semantics, only
an internal binding model.

The old ethtool api (get_setting and set_setting) has
generic phy functions phy_ethtool_sset and phy_ethtool_gset.
To supprt the new ethtool api (get_link_ksettings and
set_link_ksettings), we add generic phy function
phy_ethtool_ksettings_get and phy_ethtool_ksettings_set.

The function convert_legacy_u32_to_link_mode and
convert_link_mode_to_legacy_u32 may be used outside
of ethtool.c. We rename them to ethtool_convert_...
and export them, so we could use them in others
drivers and modules.

nf_connlabel_set() takes the bit number that we would like to set.
nf_connlabels_get() however took the number of bits that we want to
support.
So e.g. nf_connlabels_get(32) support bits 0 to 31, but not 32.
This changes nf_connlabels_get() to take the highest bit that we want
to set.
Callers then don't have to cope with a potential integer wrap
when using nf_connlabels_get(bit + 1) anymore.
Current callers are fine, this change is only to make folloup
nft ct label set support simpler.

Currently labels can only be set either by iptables connlabel
match or via ctnetlink.
Before adding nftables set support, clean up the clabel core and move
helpers that nft will not need after all to the xtables module.

I realized that when I added NETIF_F_TSO_MANGLEID as a TSO type I forgot to
add it to NETIF_F_ALL_TSO. This patch corrects that so the flag will be
included correctly.
The result should be minor as it was only used by a few drivers and in a
few specific cases such as when NETIF_F_SG was not supported on a device so
the TSO flags were cleared.

This patch updates the IP tunnel core function iptunnel_handle_offloads so
that we return an int and do not free the skb inside the function. This
actually allows us to clean up several paths in several tunnels so that we
can free the skb at one point in the path without having to have a
secondary path if we are supporting tunnel offloads.
In addition it should resolve some double-free issues I have found in the
tunnels paths as I believe it is possible for us to end up triggering such
an event in the case of fou or gue.

Due to the fact that the udp socket is destructed asynchronously in a
work queue, we have some nondeterministic behavior during shutdown of
vxlan tunnels and creating new ones. Fix this by keeping the destruction
process synchronous in regards to the user space process so IFF_UP can
be reliably set.
udp_tunnel_sock_release destroys vs->sock->sk if reference counter
indicates so. We expect to have the same lifetime of vxlan_sock and
vxlan_sock->sock->sk even in fast paths with only rcu locks held. So
only destruct the whole socket after we can be sure it cannot be found
by searching vxlan_net->sock_list.
