cc6eb43385 tproxy: use the interface primary IP address as a default value for --on-ip
The REDIRECT target and the older TProxy versions used the primary address
of the incoming interface as the default value of the --on-ip parameter.
This was unintentionally changed during the initial TProxy submission and
caused confusion among users.

Since IPv6 has no notion of primary address, we just select the first address
on the list: this way the socket lookup finds wildcard bound sockets
properly and we cannot really do better without the user telling us the
IPv6 address of the proxy.

This is implemented for both IPv4 and IPv6.

e97c3e278e tproxy: split off ipv6 defragmentation to a separate module
Like with IPv4, TProxy needs IPv6 defragmentation but does not
require connection tracking. Since defragmentation was coupled
with conntrack, I split off the two, creating an nf_defrag_ipv6 module,

1e55659ce6 can-raw: add msg_flags to distinguish local traffic
CAN has no addressing scheme. It is currently impossible for userspace
to tell is a received CAN frame comes from another process on the local
host, or from a remote CAN device.

This patch add support for userspace applications to distinguish between
'own', 'local' and 'remote' CAN traffic. The distinction is made by returning
flags in msg->msg_flags in the call to recvmsg().

The added documentation explains the introduced flags.

093d282321 tproxy: fix hash locking issue when using port redirection in __inet_inherit_port()
When __inet_inherit_port() is called on a tproxy connection the wrong locks are
held for the inet_bind_bucket it is added to. __inet_inherit_port() made an
implicit assumption that the listener's port number (and thus its bind bucket).
Unfortunately, if you're using the TPROXY target to redirect skbs to a
transparent proxy that assumption is not true anymore and things break.

This patch adds code to __inet_inherit_port() so that it can handle this case
by looking up or creating a new bind bucket for the child socket and updates
callers of __inet_inherit_port() to gracefully handle __inet_inherit_port()
failing.

Reported by and original patch from Stephen Buck <stephen.buck@exinda.com>.

106e4c26b1 tproxy: kick out TIME_WAIT sockets in case a new connection comes in with the same tuple
Without tproxy redirections an incoming SYN kicks out conflicting
TIME_WAIT sockets, in order to handle clients that reuse ports
within the TIME_WAIT period.

The same mechanism didn't work in case TProxy is involved in finding
the proper socket, as the time_wait processing code looked up the
listening socket assuming that the listener addr/port matches those
of the established connection.

This is not the case with TProxy as the listener addr/port is possibly
changed with the tproxy rule.

cb59155f21 ipvs: changes for local client
This patch deals with local client processing.

	Prefer LOCAL_OUT hook for scheduling connections from
local clients. LOCAL_IN is still supported if the packets are
not marked as processed in LOCAL_OUT. The idea to process
requests in LOCAL_OUT is to alter conntrack reply before
it is confirmed at POST_ROUTING. If the local requests are
processed in LOCAL_IN the conntrack can not be updated
and matching by state is impossible.

	Add the following handlers:

- ip_vs_reply[46] at LOCAL_IN:99 to process replies from
remote real servers to local clients. Now when both
replies from remote real servers (ip_vs_reply*) and
local real servers (ip_vs_local_reply*) are handled
it is safe to remove the conn_out_get call from ip_vs_in
because it does not support related ICMP packets.

- ip_vs_local_request[46] at LOCAL_OUT:-98 to process
requests from local client

	Handling in LOCAL_OUT causes some changes:

- as skb->dev, skb->protocol and skb->pkt_type are not defined
in LOCAL_OUT make sure we set skb->dev before calling icmpv6_send,
prefer skb_dst(skb) for struct net and remove the skb->protocol
checks from TUN transmitters.

fc60476761 ipvs: changes for local real server
This patch deals with local real servers:

- Add support for DNAT to local address (different real server port).
It needs ip_vs_out hook in LOCAL_OUT for both families because
skb->protocol is not set for locally generated packets and can not
be used to set 'af'.

- Skip packets in ip_vs_in marked with skb->ipvs_property because
ip_vs_out processing can be executed in LOCAL_OUT but we still
have the conn_out_get check in ip_vs_in.

- Ignore packets with inet->nodefrag from local stack

- Require skb_dst(skb) != NULL because we use it to get struct net

- Add support for changing the route to local IPv4 stack after DNAT
depending on the source address type. Local client sets output
route and the remote client sets input route. It looks like
IPv6 does not need such rerouting because the replies use
addresses from initial incoming header, not from skb route.

- All transmitters now have strict checks for the destination
address type: redirect from non-local address to local real
server requires NAT method, local address can not be used as
source address when talking to remote real server.

- Now LOCALNODE is not set explicitly as forwarding
method in real server to allow the connections to provide
correct forwarding method to the backup server. Not sure if
this breaks tools that expect to see 'Local' real server type.
If needed, this can be supported with new flag IP_VS_DEST_F_LOCAL.
Now it should be possible connections in backup that lost
their fwmark information during sync to be forwarded properly
to their daddr, even if it is local address in the backup server.
By this way backup could be used as real server for DR or TUN,
for NAT there are some restrictions because tuple collisions
in conntracks can create problems for the traffic.

- Call ip_vs_dst_reset when destination is updated in case
some real server IP type is changed between local and remote.

190ecd27cd ipvs: do not schedule conns from real servers
This patch is needed to avoid scheduling of
packets from local real server when we add ip_vs_in
in LOCAL_OUT hook to support local client.

 	Currently, when ip_vs_in can not find existing
connection it tries to create new one by calling ip_vs_schedule.

 	The default indication from ip_vs_schedule was if
connection was scheduled to real server. If real server is
not available we try to use the bypass forwarding method
or to send ICMP error. But in some cases we do not want to use
the bypass feature. So, add flag 'ignored' to indicate if
the scheduler ignores this packet.

 	Make sure we do not create new connections from replies.
We can hit this problem for persistent services and local real
server when ip_vs_in is added to LOCAL_OUT hook to handle
local clients.

 	Also, make sure ip_vs_schedule ignores SYN packets
for Active FTP DATA from local real server. The FTP DATA
connection should be created on SYN+ACK from client to assign
correct connection daddr.

d5dbda2380 ethtool: Add support for vlan accleration.
Now that vlan acceleration is handled consistently regardless of usage,
it is possible to enable and disable it at will.  This adds support for
Ethtool operations that change the offloading status for debugging
purposes, similar to other forms of hardware acceleration.

3701e51382 vlan: Centralize handling of hardware acceleration.
Currently each driver that is capable of vlan hardware acceleration
must be aware of the vlan groups that are configured and then pass
the stripped tag to a specialized receive function.  This is

different from other types of hardware offload in that it places a
significant amount of knowledge in the driver itself rather keeping
it in the networking core.

This makes vlan offloading function more similarly to other forms
of offloading (such as checksum offloading or TSO) by doing the
following:
* On receive, stripped vlans are passed directly to the network
core, without attempting to check for vlan groups or reconstructing
the header if no group
* vlans are made less special by folding the logic into the main
receive routines
* On transmit, the device layer will add the vlan header in software
if the hardware doesn't support it, instead of spreading that logic
out in upper layers, such as bonding.

There are a number of advantages to this:
* Fixes all bugs with drivers incorrectly dropping vlan headers at once.
* Avoids having to disable VLAN acceleration when in promiscuous mode
(good for bridging since it always puts devices in promiscuous mode).
* Keeps VLAN tag separate until given to ultimate consumer, which
avoids needing to do header reconstruction as in tg3 unless absolutely
necessary.
* Consolidates common code in core networking.

65ac6a5fa6 vlan: Avoid hash table lookup to find group.
A struct net_device always maps to zero or one vlan groups and we
always know the device when we are looking up a group.  We currently
do a hash table lookup on the device to find the group but it is
much simpler to just store a pointer.

7b9c609037 vlan: Enable software emulation for vlan accleration.
Currently users of hardware vlan accleration need to know whether
the device supports it before generating packets.  However, vlan
acceleration will soon be available in a more flexible manner so
knowing ahead of time becomes much more difficult.  This adds
a software fallback path for vlan packets on devices without the
necessary offloading support, similar to other types of hardware
accleration.

b738127dfb vlan: Rename VLAN_GROUP_ARRAY_LEN to VLAN_N_VID.
VLAN_GROUP_ARRAY_LEN is simply the number of possible vlan VIDs.
Since vlan groups will soon be more of an implementation detail
for vlan devices, rename the constant to be descriptive of its
actual purpose.

13937911f9 ebtables: Allow filtering of hardware accelerated vlan frames.
An upcoming commit will allow packets with hardware vlan acceleration
information to be passed though more parts of the network stack, including
packets trunked through the bridge.  This adds support for matching and
filtering those packets through ebtables.

27b75c95f1 net: avoid RCU for NOCACHE dst
There is no point using RCU for dst we allocate for a very short time
(used once).

Change dst_release() to take DST_NOCACHE into account, but also change
skb_dst_set_noref() to force a refcount increment for such dst.

This is a _huge_ gain, because we dont waste memory to store xx thousand
of dsts. Instead of queueing them to RCU, we can free them instantly.

CPU caches can stay hot, re-using same memory blocks to hold temporary
dsts.

Note : remove unneeded smp_mb__before_atomic_dec(); in dst_release(),
since atomic_dec_return() implies a full memory barrier.

Stress test, 160.000.000 udp frames sent, IP route cache disabled
(DDOS).
