While working on sk_forward_alloc problems reported by Denys
Fedoryshchenko, we found that tcp connect() (and fastopen) do not call
sk_wmem_schedule() for SYN packet (and/or SYN/DATA packet), so
sk_forward_alloc is negative while connect is in progress.
We can fix this by calling regular sk_stream_alloc_skb() both for the
SYN packet (in tcp_connect()) and the syn_data packet in
tcp_send_syn_data()
Then, tcp_send_syn_data() can avoid copying syn_data as we simply
can manipulate syn_data->cb[] to remove SYN flag (and increment seq)
Instead of open coding memcpy_fromiovecend(), simply use this helper.
This leaves in socket write queue clean fast clone skbs.
This was tested against our fastopen packetdrill tests.

RSS (Receive Side Scaling) typically uses Toeplitz hash and a 40 or 52 bytes
RSS key.
Some drivers use a constant (and well known key), some drivers use a random
key per port, making bonding setups hard to tune. Well known keys increase
attack surface, considering that number of queues is usually a power of two.
This patch provides infrastructure to help drivers doing the right thing.
netdev_rss_key_fill() should be used by drivers to initialize their RSS key,
even if they provide ethtool -X support to let user redefine the key later.
A new /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key file can be used to get the host
RSS key even for drivers not providing ethtool -x support, in case some
applications want to precisely setup flows to match some RX queues.
Tested:
myhost:~# cat /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key

In DC world, GSO packets initially cooked by tcp_sendmsg() are usually
big, as sk_pacing_rate is high.
When network is congested, cwnd can be smaller than the GSO packets
found in socket write queue. tcp_write_xmit() splits GSO packets
using the available cwnd, and we end up sending a single GSO packet,
consuming all available cwnd.
With GRO aggregation on the receiver, we might handle a single GRO
packet, sending back a single ACK.
1) This single ACK might be lost
TLP or RTO are forced to attempt a retransmit.
2) This ACK releases a full cwnd, sender sends another big GSO packet,
in a ping pong mode.
This behavior does not fill the pipes in the best way, because of
scheduling artifacts.
Make sure we always have at least two GSO packets in flight.
This allows us to safely increase GRO efficiency without risking
spurious retransmits.

Large receive offloading is known to cause problems if received packets
are passed to other host. Therefore the kernel disables it by calling
dev_disable_lro() whenever a network device is enslaved in a bridge or
forwarding is enabled for it (or globally). For virtual devices we need
to disable LRO on the underlying physical device (which is actually
receiving the packets).
Current dev_disable_lro() code handles this propagation for a vlan
(including 802.1ad nested vlan), macvlan or a vlan on top of a macvlan.
It doesn't handle other stacked devices and their combinations, in
particular propagation from a bond to its slaves which often causes
problems in virtualization setups.
As we now have generic data structures describing the upper-lower device
relationship, dev_disable_lro() can be generalized to disable LRO also
for all lower devices (if any) once it is disabled for the device
itself.
For bonding and teaming devices, it is necessary to disable LRO not only
on current slaves at the moment when dev_disable_lro() is called but
also on any slave (port) added later.
v2: use lower device links for all devices (including vlan and macvlan)

This is bad because of two things, we can bring down a machine from

that sctp_auth_create_key() already sets the refcount to 1, but after

thus leaving it around when we free the socket.

An SCTP server doing ASCONF will panic on malformed INIT ping-of-death
in the form of:
------------ INIT[PARAM: SET_PRIMARY_IP] ------------>
While the INIT chunk parameter verification dissects through many things
in order to detect malformed input, it misses to actually check parameters
inside of parameters. E.g. RFC5061, section 4.2.4 proposes a 'set primary
IP address' parameter in ASCONF, which has as a subparameter an address
parameter.
So an attacker may send a parameter type other than SCTP_PARAM_IPV4_ADDRESS
or SCTP_PARAM_IPV6_ADDRESS, param_type2af() will subsequently return 0
and thus sctp_get_af_specific() returns NULL, too, which we then happily
dereference unconditionally through af->from_addr_param().

Alternative to RPS/RFS is to use hardware support for multiple
queues.
Then split a set of million of sockets into worker threads, each
one using epoll() to manage events on its own socket pool.
Ideally, we want one thread per RX/TX queue/cpu, but we have no way to
know after accept() or connect() on which queue/cpu a socket is managed.
We normally use one cpu per RX queue (IRQ smp_affinity being properly
set), so remembering on socket structure which cpu delivered last packet
is enough to solve the problem.
After accept(), connect(), or even file descriptor passing around
processes, applications can use :
int cpu;
socklen_t len = sizeof(cpu);
getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_INCOMING_CPU, &cpu, &len);
And use this information to put the socket into the right silo
for optimal performance, as all networking stack should run
on the appropriate cpu, without need to send IPI (RPS/RFS).

sk_mark_napi_id() is used to record for a flow napi id of incoming

We should do this only on established flows, not on listeners.
This was 'working' by virtue of the socket cloning, but doing
this on SYN packets in unecessary cache line dirtying.
Even if we move sk_napi_id in the same cache line than sk_lock,
we are working to make SYN processing lockless, so it is desirable

When doing GRO processing for UDP tunnels, we never add
SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL to gso_type - only the type of the inner protocol
is added (such as SKB_GSO_TCPV4). The result is that if the packet is
later resegmented we will do GSO but not treat it as a tunnel. This
results in UDP fragmentation of the outer header instead of (i.e.) TCP
segmentation of the inner header as was originally on the wire.

for 6lowpan and Szymon conformance fixes for RFCOMM. For the HCI drivers
we have one new USB ID for an Acer controller as well as a reset
handling fix for H5."
For the Atheros bits, Kalle says:
"Major changes are:
o ethtool support (Ben)
o print dev string prefix with debug hex buffers dump (Michal)
o debugfs file to read calibration data from the firmware verification
purposes (me)
o fix fw_stats debugfs file, now results are more reliable (Michal)
o firmware crash counters via debugfs (Ben&me)
o various tracing points to debug firmware (Rajkumar)
o make it possible to provide firmware calibration data via a file (me)
And we have quite a lot of smaller fixes and clean up."
For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:
"The big new thing here is netdetect which allows the
firmware to wake up the platform when a specific network
is detected. Along with that I have fixes for d3 operation.
The usual amount of rate scaling stuff - we now support STBC.
The other commit that stands out is Johannes's work on
devcoredump. He basically starts to use the standard
infrastructure he built."
Along with that are the usual sort of updates and such for ath9k,
brcmfmac, wil6210, and a handful of other bits here and there...
Please let me know if there are problems!

Ever since raw_probe_proto_opt was added it had the problem of
causing the user iov to be read twice, once during the probe for
the protocol header and once again in ip_append_data.
This is a potential security problem since it means that whatever
we're probing may be invalid. This patch plugs the hole by
firstly advancing the iov so we don't read the same spot again,
and secondly saving what we read the first time around for use
by ip_append_data.

The function raw_probe_proto_opt tries to extract the first two
bytes from the user input in order to seed the IPsec lookup for
ICMP packets. In doing so it's processing iovec by hand and
overcomplicating things.
This patch replaces the manual iovec processing with a call to
memcpy_fromiovecend.

Tuning coalescing parameters on NIC can be really hard.
Servers can handle both bulk and RPC like traffic, with conflicting
goals : bulk flows want as big GRO packets as possible, RPC want minimal
latencies.
To reach big GRO packets on 10Gbe NIC, one can use :
ethtool -C eth0 rx-usecs 4 rx-frames 44
But this penalizes rpc sessions, with an increase of latencies, up to
50% in some cases, as NICs generally do not force an interrupt when
a packet with TCP Push flag is received.
Some NICs do not have an absolute timer, only a timer rearmed for every
incoming packet.
This patch uses a different strategy : Let GRO stack decides what do do,
based on traffic pattern.
Packets with Push flag wont be delayed.
Packets without Push flag might be held in GRO engine, if we keep
receiving data.
This new mechanism is off by default, and shall be enabled by setting
/sys/class/net/ethX/gro_flush_timeout to a value in nanosecond.
To fully enable this mechanism, drivers should use napi_complete_done()
instead of napi_complete().
Tested:
Ran 200 netperf TCP_STREAM from A to B (10Gbe mlx4 link, 8 RX queues)
Without this feature, we send back about 305,000 ACK per second.
GRO aggregation ratio is low (811/305 = 2.65 segments per GRO packet)
Setting a timer of 2000 nsec is enough to increase GRO packet sizes
and reduce number of ACK packets. (811/19.2 = 42)
Receiver performs less calls to upper stacks, less wakes up.
This also reduces cpu usage on the sender, as it receives less ACK
packets.
Note that reducing number of wakes up increases cpu efficiency, but can
decrease QPS, as applications wont have the chance to warmup cpu caches
doing a partial read of RPC requests/answers if they fit in one skb.
