Several of the GRE functions defined in net/ipv4/ip_gre.c are usable
for IPv6 GRE implementation (that is they are protocol agnostic).
These include:
- GRE flag handling functions are move to gre.h
- GRE build_header is moved to gre.h and renamed gre_build_header
- parse_gre_header is moved to gre_demux.c and renamed gre_parse_header
- iptunnel_pull_header is taken out of gre_parse_header. This is now
done by caller. The header length is returned from gre_parse_header
in an int* argument.

Large sendmsg()/write() hold socket lock for the duration of the call,
unless sk->sk_sndbuf limit is hit. This is bad because incoming packets
are parked into socket backlog for a long time.
Critical decisions like fast retransmit might be delayed.
Receivers have to maintain a big out of order queue with additional cpu
overhead, and also possible stalls in TX once windows are full.
Bidirectional flows are particularly hurt since the backlog can become
quite big if the copy from user space triggers IO (page faults)
Some applications learnt to use sendmsg() (or sendmmsg()) with small
chunks to avoid this issue.
Kernel should know better, right ?
Add a generic sk_flush_backlog() helper and use it right
before a new skb is allocated. Typically we put 64KB of payload
per skb (unless MSG_EOR is requested) and checking socket backlog
every 64KB gives good results.
As a matter of fact, tests with TSO/GSO disabled give very nice
results, as we manage to keep a small write queue and smaller
perceived rtt.
Note that sk_flush_backlog() maintains socket ownership,
so is not equivalent to a {release_sock(sk); lock_sock(sk);},
to ensure implicit atomicity rules that sendmsg() was
giving to (possibly buggy) applications.
In this simple implementation, I chose to not call tcp_release_cb(),
but we might consider this later.

TCP prequeue goal is to defer processing of incoming packets
to user space thread currently blocked in a recvmsg() system call.
Intent is to spend less time processing these packets on behalf
of softirq handler, as softirq handler is unfair to normal process
scheduler decisions, as it might interrupt threads that do not
even use networking.
Current prequeue implementation has following issues :
1) It only checks size of the prequeue against sk_rcvbuf
It was fine 15 years ago when sk_rcvbuf was in the 64KB vicinity.
But we now have ~8MB values to cope with modern networking needs.
We have to add sk_rmem_alloc in the equation, since out of order
packets can definitely use up to sk_rcvbuf memory themselves.
2) Even with a fixed memory truesize check, prequeue can be filled
by thousands of packets. When prequeue needs to be flushed, either
from sofirq context (in tcp_prequeue() or timer code), or process
context (in tcp_prequeue_process()), this adds a latency spike
which is often not desirable.
I added a fixed limit of 32 packets, as this translated to a max
flush time of 60 us on my test hosts.
Also note that all packets in prequeue are not accounted for tcp_mem,
since they are not charged against sk_forward_alloc at this point.
This is probably not a big deal.
Note that this might increase LINUX_MIB_TCPPREQUEUEDROPPED counts,
which is misnamed, as packets are not dropped at all, but rather pushed
to the stack (where they can be either consumed or dropped)

This patch adds an eor bit to the TCP_SKB_CB. When MSG_EOR
is passed to tcp_sendmsg, the eor bit will be set at the skb
containing the last byte of the userland's msg. The eor bit
will prevent data from appending to that skb in the future.
The change in do_tcp_sendpages is to honor the eor set
during the previous tcp_sendmsg(MSG_EOR) call.
This patch handles the tcp_sendmsg case. The followup patches
will handle other skb coalescing and fragment cases.
One potential use case is to use MSG_EOR with
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK to get a more accurate
TCP ack timestamping on application protocol with
multiple outgoing response messages (e.g. HTTP2).

The SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag is set in skb_shinfo->tx_flags when
the timestamp of the TCP acknowledgement should be reported on
error queue. Since accessing skb_shinfo is likely to incur a
cache-line miss at the time of receiving the ack, the
txstamp_ack bit was added in tcp_skb_cb, which is set iff
the SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag is set for an skb. This makes
SKBTX_ACK_TSTAMP flag redundant.

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.

With the SO_REUSEPORT socket option, it is possible to create sockets
in the AF_INET and AF_INET6 domains which are bound to the same IPv4 address.
This is only possible with SO_REUSEPORT and when not using IPV6_V6ONLY on
the AF_INET6 sockets.
Prior to the commits referenced below, an incoming IPv4 packet would
always be routed to a socket of type AF_INET when this mixed-mode was used.
After those changes, the same packet would be routed to the most recently
bound socket (if this happened to be an AF_INET6 socket, it would
have an IPv4 mapped IPv6 address).
The change in behavior occurred because the recent SO_REUSEPORT optimizations
short-circuit the socket scoring logic as soon as they find a match. They
did not take into account the scoring logic that favors AF_INET sockets
over AF_INET6 sockets in the event of a tie.
To fix this problem, this patch changes the insertion order of AF_INET
and AF_INET6 addresses in the TCP and UDP socket lists when the sockets
have SO_REUSEPORT set. AF_INET sockets will be inserted at the head of the
list and AF_INET6 sockets with SO_REUSEPORT set will always be inserted at
the tail of the list. This will force AF_INET sockets to always be
considered first.

This patch adds support for something I am referring to as GSO partial.
The basic idea is that we can support a broader range of devices for
segmentation if we use fixed outer headers and have the hardware only
really deal with segmenting the inner header. The idea behind the naming
is due to the fact that everything before csum_start will be fixed headers,
and everything after will be the region that is handled by hardware.
With the current implementation it allows us to add support for the
following GSO types with an inner TSO_MANGLEID or TSO6 offload:
NETIF_F_GSO_GRE
NETIF_F_GSO_GRE_CSUM
NETIF_F_GSO_IPIP
NETIF_F_GSO_SIT
NETIF_F_UDP_TUNNEL
NETIF_F_UDP_TUNNEL_CSUM
In the case of hardware that already supports tunneling we may be able to
extend this further to support TSO_TCPV4 without TSO_MANGLEID if the
hardware can support updating inner IPv4 headers.

This patch does two things.
First it allows TCP to aggregate TCP frames with a fixed IPv4 ID field. As
a result we should now be able to aggregate flows that were converted from
IPv6 to IPv4. In addition this allows us more flexibility for future
implementations of segmentation as we may be able to use a fixed IP ID when
segmenting the flow.
The second thing this does is that it places limitations on the outer IPv4
ID header in the case of tunneled frames. Specifically it forces the IP ID
to be incrementing by 1 unless the DF bit is set in the outer IPv4 header.
This way we can avoid creating overlapping series of IP IDs that could
possibly be fragmented if the frame goes through GRO and is then
resegmented via GSO.

This patch adds support for TSO using IPv4 headers with a fixed IP ID
field. This is meant to allow us to do a lossless GRO in the case of TCP
flows that use a fixed IP ID such as those that convert IPv6 header to IPv4
headers.
In addition I am adding a feature that for now I am referring to TSO with
IP ID mangling. Basically when this flag is enabled the device has the
option to either output the flow with incrementing IP IDs or with a fixed
IP ID regardless of what the original IP ID ordering was. This is useful
in cases where the DF bit is set and we do not care if the original IP ID
value is maintained.

For local routes that require a particular output interface we do not want
to cache the result. Caching the result causes incorrect behaviour when
there are multiple source addresses on the interface. The end result
being that if the intended recipient is waiting on that interface for the
packet he won't receive it because it will be delivered on the loopback
interface and the IP_PKTINFO ipi_ifindex will be set to the loopback
interface as well.
This can be tested by running a program such as "dhcp_release" which
attempts to inject a packet on a particular interface so that it is
received by another program on the same board. The receiving process
should see an IP_PKTINFO ipi_ifndex value of the source interface
(e.g., eth1) instead of the loopback interface (e.g., lo). The packet
will still appear on the loopback interface in tcpdump but the important
aspect is that the CMSG info is correct.
Sample dhcp_release command line:
dhcp_release eth1 192.168.204.222 02:11:33:22:44:66
