Both OVS and TC flower allow extracting and matching on the DF bit of
the outer IP header via OVS_TUNNEL_KEY_ATTR_DONT_FRAGMENT in the
OVS_KEY_ATTR_TUNNEL and TCA_FLOWER_KEY_FLAGS_TUNNEL_DONT_FRAGMENT in
the TCA_FLOWER_KEY_ENC_FLAGS respectively. Flow dissector extracts
this information as FLOW_DIS_F_TUNNEL_DONT_FRAGMENT from the tunnel
info key.
However, the IP_TUNNEL_DONT_FRAGMENT_BIT in the tunnel key is never
actually set, because the tunneling code doesn't actually extract it
from the IP header. OAM and CRIT_OPT are extracted by the tunnel
implementation code, same code also sets the KEY flag, if present.
UDP tunnel core takes care of setting the CSUM flag if the checksum
is present in the UDP header, but the DONT_FRAGMENT is not handled at
any layer.
Fix that by checking the bit and setting the corresponding flag while
populating the tunnel info in the IP layer where it belongs.
Not using __assign_bit as we don't really need to clear the bit in a
just initialized field. It also doesn't seem like using __assign_bit
will make the code look better.
Clearly, users didn't rely on this functionality for anything very
important until now. The reason why this doesn't break OVS logic is
that it only matches on what kernel previously parsed out and if kernel
consistently reports this bit as zero, OVS will only match on it to be
zero, which sort of works. But it is still a bug that the uAPI reports
and allows matching on the field that is not actually checked in the
packet. And this is causing misleading -df reporting in OVS datapath
flows, while the tunnel traffic actually has the bit set in most cases.
This may also cause issues if a hardware properly implements support
for tunnel flag matching as it will disagree with the implementation
in a software path of TC flower.

During recent testing with the netem qdisc to inject delays into TCP

due to incorrect classid retrieval from task_get_classid(). The issue

entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+100
The problem occurs when multiple tasks share a single qdisc. In such cases,
__qdisc_run() may transmit skbs created by different tasks. Consequently,
task_get_classid() retrieves an incorrect classid since it references the
current task's context rather than the skb's originating task.
Given that dev_queue_xmit() always executes with bh disabled, we can use
softirq_count() instead to obtain the correct classid.
The simple steps to reproduce this issue:
1. Add network delay to the network interface:
such as: tc qdisc add dev bond0 root netem delay 1.5ms
2. Build two distinct net_cls cgroups, each with a network-intensive task
3. Initiate parallel TCP streams from both tasks to external servers.
Under this specific condition, the issue reliably occurs. The kernel
eventually dequeues an SKB that originated from Task-A while executing in
the context of Task-B.
It is worth noting that it will change the established behavior for a
slightly different scenario:
<sock S is created by task A>
<class ID for task A is changed>
<skb is created by sock S xmit and classified>
prior to this patch the skb will be classified with the 'new' task A
classid, now with the old/original one. The bpf_get_cgroup_classid_curr()
function is a more appropriate choice for this case.

Hosts under DOS attack can suffer from false sharing
in enqueue_to_backlog() : atomic_inc(&sd->dropped).
This is because sd->dropped can be touched from many cpus,
possibly residing on different NUMA nodes.
Generalize the sk_drop_counters infrastucture
added in commit c51613fa27 ("net: add sk->sk_drop_counters")
and use it to replace softnet_data.dropped
with NUMA friendly softnet_data.drop_counters.
This adds 64 bytes per cpu, maybe more in the future
if we increase the number of counters (currently 2)
per 'struct numa_drop_counters'.

Now that the destruction of info/keys is delayed until the socket
destructor, it's safe to use kfree() without an RCU callback.
The socket is in TCP_CLOSE state either because it never left it,
or it's already closed and the refcounter is zero. In any way,
no one can discover it anymore, it's safe to release memory
straight away.
Similar thing was possible for twsk already.

Currently there are a couple of minor issues with destroying the keys
tcp_v4_destroy_sock():
1. The socket is yet in TCP bind buckets, making it reachable for
incoming segments [on another CPU core], potentially available to send
late FIN/ACK/RST replies.
2. There is at least one code path, where tcp_done() is called before
sending RST [kudos to Bob for investigation]. This is a case of
a server, that finished sending its data and just called close().
The socket is in TCP_FIN_WAIT2 and has RCV_SHUTDOWN (set by
__tcp_close())

tcp_rcv_state_process() /* LINUX_MIB_TCPABORTONDATA */

Note the signed RSTs later in the dump - those are sent by the server
when the fin-wait socket gets removed from hash buckets, by
the listener socket.
Instead of destroying AO/MD5 info and their keys in inet_csk_destroy_sock(),
slightly delay it until the actual socket .sk_destruct(). As shutdown'ed
socket can yet send non-data replies, they should be signed in order for
the peer to process them. Now it also matches how AO/MD5 gets destructed
for TIME-WAIT sockets (in tcp_twsk_destructor()).
This seems optimal for TCP-MD5, while for TCP-AO it seems to have an
open problem: once RST get sent and socket gets actually destructed,
there is no information on the initial sequence numbers. So, in case
this last RST gets lost in the network, the server's listener socket
won't be able to properly sign another RST. Nothing in RFC 1122
prescribes keeping any local state after non-graceful reset.
Luckily, BGP are known to use keep alive(s).
While the issue is quite minor/cosmetic, these days monitoring network
counters is a common practice and getting invalid signed segments from
a trusted BGP peer can get customers worried.

__icmp_send() is used to generate ICMP error messages in response to
various situations such as MTU errors (i.e., "Fragmentation Required")
and too many hops (i.e., "Time Exceeded").
The skb that generated the error does not necessarily come from the IPv4
layer and does not always have a valid IPv4 control block in skb->cb.
Therefore, commit 9ef6b42ad6 ("net: Add __icmp_send helper.") changed
the function to take the IP options structure as argument instead of
deriving it from the skb's control block. Some callers of this function
such as icmp_send() pass the IP options structure from the skb's control
block as in these call paths the control block is known to be valid, but
other callers simply pass a zeroed structure.
A subsequent patch will need __icmp_send() to access more information
from the IPv4 control block (specifically, the ifindex of the input
interface). As a preparation for this change, change the function to
take the IPv4 control block structure as an argument instead of the IP
options structure. This makes the function similar to its IPv6
counterpart that already takes the IPv6 control block structure as an
argument.
No functional changes intended.

xdp_update_skb_shared_info() needs to update skb state which
was maintained in xdp_buff / frame. Pass full flags into it,
instead of breaking it out bit by bit. We will need to add
a bit for unreadable frags (even tho XDP doesn't support
those the driver paths may be common), at which point almost
all call sites would become:
xdp_update_skb_shared_info(skb, num_frags,
sinfo->xdp_frags_size,
MY_PAGE_SIZE * num_frags,
xdp_buff_is_frag_pfmemalloc(xdp),
xdp_buff_is_frag_unreadable(xdp));
Keep a helper for accessing the flags, in case we need to
transform them somehow in the future (e.g. to cover up xdp_buff
vs xdp_frame differences).
While we are touching call callers - rename the helper to
xdp_update_skb_frags_info(), previous name may have implied that
it's shinfo that's updated. We are updating flags in struct sk_buff
based on frags that got attched.

Often times the compilers are not able to expand two consecutive 32-bit
writes into one 64-bit on the corresponding architectures. This applies
to xdp_init_buff() called for every received frame (or at least once
per each 64 frames when the frag size is fixed).
Move the not-so-pretty hack from libeth_xdp straight to xdp_init_buff(),
but using a proper union around ::frame_sz and ::flags.
The optimization is limited to LE architectures due to the structure
layout.
One simple example from idpf with the XDP series applied (Clang 22-git,
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE => -O2):
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-27 (-27)

If a valid radio index is not found, the function returns -ENOENT. If the
channel argument itself is invalid, it returns -EINVAL. However, since the
caller only checks for < 0, the distinction between these error codes is
not utilized much. Also, handling these two distinct error codes throughout
the codebase adds complexity, as both cases must be addressed separately. A
subsequent change aims to simplify this by using a single error code for
all invalid cases, making error handling more consistent and streamlined.
To support this change, update the return value to -EINVAL when a valid
radio index is not found. This is still appropriate because, even if the
channel argument is structurally valid, the absence of a corresponding
radio index implies that the argument is effectively invalid—otherwise, a
valid index would have been found.

tun_flow_update() was calling sock_rps_record_flow_hash() regardless of
the state of rfs_needed. This was not really a bug as sock_flow_table
simply ends up being NULL and thus everything will be fine.
This commit here thus also implicitly makes tun_flow_update() respect
the state of rfs_needed.

Remove the implementation of use_carrier, the link monitoring
method that utilizes ethtool or ioctl to determine the link state of an
interface in a bond. Bonding will always behaves as if use_carrier=1,
which relies on netif_carrier_ok() to determine the link state of
interfaces.
To avoid acquiring RTNL many times per second, bonding inspects
link state under RCU, but not under RTNL. However, ethtool
implementations in drivers may sleep, and therefore this strategy is
unsuitable for use with calls into driver ethtool functions.
The use_carrier option was introduced in 2003, to provide
backwards compatibility for network device drivers that did not support
the then-new netif_carrier_ok/on/off system. Device drivers are now
expected to support netif_carrier_*, and the use_carrier backwards
compatibility logic is no longer necessary.
The option itself remains, but when queried always returns 1,
and may only be set to 1.

In some situations 255 bytes offset is not enough to match or manipulate
the desired packet field. Increase the offset limit to 65535 or U16_MAX.
In addition, the nla policy maximum value is not set anymore as it is
limited to s16. Instead, the maximum value is checked during the payload
expression initialization function.
Tested with the nft command line tool.

Quoting Sven Auhagen:
we do see on occasions that we get the following error message, more so on
x86 systems than on arm64:
Error: Could not process rule: Cannot allocate memory delete table inet filter
It is not a consistent error and does not happen all the time.
We are on Kernel 6.6.80, seems to me like we have something along the lines
of the nf_tables: allow clone callbacks to sleep problem using GFP_ATOMIC.
As hinted at by Sven, this is because of GFP_ATOMIC allocations during
set flush.
When set is flushed, all elements are deactivated. This triggers a set
walk and each element gets added to the transaction list.
The rbtree and rhashtable sets don't allow the iter callback to sleep:
rbtree walk acquires read side of an rwlock with bh disabled, rhashtable
walk happens with rcu read lock held.
Rbtree is simple enough to resolve:
When the walk context is ITER_READ, no change is needed (the iter
callback must not deactivate elements; we're not in a transaction).
When the iter type is ITER_UPDATE, the rwlock isn't needed because the
caller holds the transaction mutex, this prevents any and all changes to
the ruleset, including add/remove of set elements.
Rhashtable is slightly more complex.
When the iter type is ITER_READ, no change is needed, like rbtree.
For ITER_UPDATE, we hold transaction mutex which prevents elements from
getting free'd, even outside of rcu read lock section.
So build a temporary list of all elements while doing the rcu iteration
and then call the iterator in a second pass.
The disadvantage is the need to iterate twice, but this cost comes with
the benefit to allow the iter callback to use GFP_KERNEL allocations in
a followup patch.
The new list based logic makes it necessary to catch recursive calls to
the same set earlier.
Such walk -> iter -> walk recursion for the same set can happen during
ruleset validation in case userspace gave us a bogus (cyclic) ruleset
where verdict map m jumps to chain that sooner or later also calls
"vmap @m".
Before the new ->in_update_walk test, the ruleset is rejected because the
infinite recursion causes ctx->level to exceed the allowed maximum.
But with the new logic added here, elements would get skipped:
nft_rhash_walk_update would see elements that are on the walk_list of
an older stack frame.
As all recursive calls into same map results in -EMLINK, we can avoid this
problem by using the new in_update_walk flag and reject immediately.
Next patch converts the problematic GFP_ATOMIC allocations.

TCP tracks the number of orphaned (SOCK_DEAD but not yet destructed)
sockets in tcp_orphan_count.
In some code that was shared with DCCP, tcp_orphan_count is referenced
via sk->sk_prot->orphan_count.
Let's reference tcp_orphan_count directly.
inet_csk_prepare_for_destroy_sock() is moved to inet_connection_sock.c
due to header dependency.

With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd3 ("fork: add
clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was
increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags.
However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not
changed from the previous type of unsigned long.
While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits
(CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still
undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise.
Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of callees to
sys_clone3/copy_process (excluding the architecture-specific
copy_thread) to consistently pass clone_flags as u64, so that
no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on 32-bit architectures.

For zerocopy (io_uring, devmem), there is an assumption that the
parent device can do DMA. However that is not always the case:
- Scalable Function netdevs [1] have the DMA device in the grandparent.
- For Multi-PF netdevs [2] queues can be associated to different DMA
devices.
This patch introduces the a queue based interface for allowing drivers
to expose a different DMA device for zerocopy.

When a packet flood hits one or more RAW sockets, many cpus
have to update sk->sk_drops.
This slows down other cpus, because currently
sk_drops is in sock_write_rx group.
Add a socket_drop_counters structure to raw sockets.
Using dedicated cache lines to hold drop counters
makes sure that consumers no longer suffer from
false sharing if/when producers only change sk->sk_drops.
This adds 128 bytes per RAW socket.

When a packet flood hits one or more UDP sockets, many cpus

Add a socket_drop_counters structure to udp sockets.
Using dedicated cache lines to hold drop counters

This adds 128 bytes per UDP socket.
Tested with the following stress test, sending about 11 Mpps
to a dual socket AMD EPYC 7B13 64-Core.
super_netperf 20 -t UDP_STREAM -H DUT -l10 -- -n -P,1000 -m 120
Note: due to socket lookup, only one UDP socket is receiving
packets on DUT.
Then measure receiver (DUT) behavior. We can see both
consumer and BH handlers can process more packets per second.
