Generalize strparser from more than just being used in conjunction
with read_sock. strparser will also be used in the send path with
zero proxy. The primary change is to create strp_process function
that performs the critical processing on skbs. The documentation

Provide a control message that can be specified on the first sendmsg() of a
client call or the first sendmsg() of a service response to indicate the
total length of the data to be transmitted for that call.
Currently, because the length of the payload of an encrypted DATA packet is
encrypted in front of the data, the packet cannot be encrypted until we
know how much data it will hold.
By specifying the length at the beginning of the transmit phase, each DATA
packet length can be set before we start loading data from userspace (where
several sendmsg() calls may contribute to a particular packet).
An error will be returned if too little or too much data is presented in
the Tx phase.

Make it possible for a client to use AuriStor's service upgrade facility.
The client does this by adding an RXRPC_UPGRADE_SERVICE control message to
the first sendmsg() of a call. This takes no parameters.
When recvmsg() starts returning data from the call, the service ID field in
the returned msg_name will reflect the result of the upgrade attempt. If
the upgrade was ignored, srx_service will match what was set in the
sendmsg(); if the upgrade happened the srx_service will be altered to
indicate the service the server upgraded to.
Note that:
(1) The choice of upgrade service is up to the server
(2) Further client calls to the same server that would share a connection
are blocked if an upgrade probe is in progress.
(3) This should only be used to probe the service. Clients should then
use the returned service ID in all subsequent communications with that
server (and not set the upgrade). Note that the kernel will not
retain this information should the connection expire from its cache.
(4) If a server that supports upgrading is replaced by one that doesn't,
whilst a connection is live, and if the replacement is running, say,
OpenAFS 1.6.4 or older or an older IBM AFS, then the replacement
server will not respond to packets sent to the upgraded connection.
At this point, calls will time out and the server must be reprobed.

Implement AuriStor's service upgrade facility. There are three problems
that this is meant to deal with:
(1) Various of the standard AFS RPC calls have IPv4 addresses in their
requests and/or replies - but there's no room for including IPv6
addresses.
(2) Definition of IPv6-specific RPC operations in the standard operation
sets has not yet been achieved.
(3) One could envision the creation a new service on the same port that as
the original service. The new service could implement improved
operations - and the client could try this first, falling back to the
original service if it's not there.
Unfortunately, certain servers ignore packets addressed to a service
they don't implement and don't respond in any way - not even with an
ABORT. This means that the client must then wait for the call timeout
to occur.
What service upgrade does is to see if the connection is marked as being
'upgradeable' and if so, change the service ID in the server and thus the
request and reply formats. Note that the upgrade isn't mandatory - a
server that supports only the original call set will ignore the upgrade
request.
In the protocol, the procedure is then as follows:
(1) To request an upgrade, the first DATA packet in a new connection must
have the userStatus set to 1 (this is normally 0). The userStatus
value is normally ignored by the server.
(2) If the server doesn't support upgrading, the reply packets will
contain the same service ID as for the first request packet.
(3) If the server does support upgrading, all future reply packets on that
connection will contain the new service ID and the new service ID will
be applied to *all* further calls on that connection as well.
(4) The RPC op used to probe the upgrade must take the same request data
as the shadow call in the upgrade set (but may return a different
reply). GetCapability RPC ops were added to all standard sets for
just this purpose. Ops where the request formats differ cannot be
used for probing.
(5) The client must wait for completion of the probe before sending any
further RPC ops to the same destination. It should then use the
service ID that recvmsg() reported back in all future calls.
(6) The shadow service must have call definitions for all the operation
IDs defined by the original service.
To support service upgrading, a server should:
(1) Call bind() twice on its AF_RXRPC socket before calling listen().
Each bind() should supply a different service ID, but the transport
addresses must be the same. This allows the server to receive
requests with either service ID.
(2) Enable automatic upgrading by calling setsockopt(), specifying
RXRPC_UPGRADEABLE_SERVICE and passing in a two-member array of
unsigned shorts as the argument:
unsigned short optval[2];
This specifies a pair of service IDs. They must be different and must
match the service IDs bound to the socket. Member 0 is the service ID
to upgrade from and member 1 is the service ID to upgrade to.

Permit bind() to be called on an AF_RXRPC socket more than once (currently
maximum twice) to bind multiple listening services to it. There are some
restrictions:
(1) All bind() calls involved must have a non-zero service ID.
(2) The service IDs must all be different.
(3) The rest of the address (notably the transport part) must be the same
in all (a single UDP socket is shared).
(4) This must be done before listen() or sendmsg() is called.
This allows someone to connect to the service socket with different service
IDs and lays the foundation for service upgrading.
The service ID used by an incoming call can be extracted from the msg_name
returned by recvmsg().

Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TX_SWHW option to allow an outgoing packet to
be looped to the socket's error queue with a software timestamp even
when a hardware transmit timestamp is expected to be provided by the
driver.
Applications using this option will receive two separate messages from
the error queue, one with a software timestamp and the other with a
hardware timestamp. As the hardware timestamp is saved to the shared skb
info, which may happen before the first message with software timestamp
is received by the application, the hardware timestamp is copied to the
SCM_TIMESTAMPING control message only when the skb has no software
timestamp or it is an incoming packet.
While changing sw_tx_timestamp(), inline it in skb_tx_timestamp() as
there are no other users.

The scm_timestamping struct may return multiple non-zero fields, e.g.
when both software and hardware RX timestamping is enabled, or when the
SO_TIMESTAMP(NS) option is combined with SCM_TIMESTAMPING and a false

return a SCM_TIMESTAMP(NS) message.

Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_PKTINFO option to request a new control message
for incoming packets with hardware timestamps. It contains the index of
the real interface which received the packet and the length of the
packet at layer 2.
The index is useful with bonding, bridges and other interfaces, where
IP_PKTINFO doesn't allow applications to determine which PHC made the
timestamp. With the L2 length (and link speed) it is possible to
transpose preamble timestamps to trailer timestamps, which are used in
the NTP protocol.
While this information could be provided by two new socket options
independently from timestamping, it doesn't look like they would be very
useful. With this option any performance impact is limited to hardware
timestamping.
Use dev_get_by_napi_id() to get the device and its index. On kernels
with disabled CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL or drivers not using NAPI, a zero
index will be returned in the control message.

skb_csum_hwoffload_help() uses netdev features and skb->csum_not_inet to
determine if skb needs software computation of Internet Checksum or crc32c
(or nothing, if this computation can be done by the hardware). Use it in
place of skb_checksum_help() in validate_xmit_skb() to avoid corruption
of non-GSO SCTP packets having skb->ip_summed equal to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL.
While at it, remove references to skb_csum_off_chk* functions, since they
are not present anymore in Linux _ see commit cf53b1da73bd ("Revert

Middlebox firewall issues can potentially cause server's data being
blackholed after a successful 3WHS using TFO. Following are the related
reports from Apple:
https://www.nanog.org/sites/default/files/Paasch_Network_Support.pdf
Slide 31 identifies an issue where the client ACK to the server's data
sent during a TFO'd handshake is dropped.
C ---> syn-data ---> S
C <--- syn/ack ----- S
C (accept & write)
C <---- data ------- S
C ----- ACK -> X S
[retry and timeout]
https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/94/slides/slides-94-tcpm-13.pdf
Slide 5 shows a similar situation that the server's data gets dropped
after 3WHS.
C ---- syn-data ---> S
C <--- syn/ack ----- S
C ---- ack --------> S
S (accept & write)
C? X <- data ------ S
[retry and timeout]
This is the worst failure b/c the client can not detect such behavior to
mitigate the situation (such as disabling TFO). Failing to proceed, the
application (e.g., SSL library) may simply timeout and retry with TFO
again, and the process repeats indefinitely.
The proposed solution is to disable active TFO globally under the
following circumstances:
1. client side TFO socket detects out of order FIN
2. client side TFO socket receives out of order RST
We disable active side TFO globally for 1hr at first. Then if it
happens again, we disable it for 2h, then 4h, 8h, ...
And we reset the timeout to 1hr if a client side TFO sockets not opened
on loopback has successfully received data segs from server.
And we examine this condition during close().
The rational behind it is that when such firewall issue happens,
application running on the client should eventually close the socket as
it is not able to get the data it is expecting. Or application running
on the server should close the socket as it is not able to receive any
response from client.
In both cases, out of order FIN or RST will get received on the client
given that the firewall will not block them as no data are in those
frames.
And we want to disable active TFO globally as it helps if the middle box
is very close to the client and most of the connections are likely to

Also, add a debug sysctl:
tcp_fastopen_blackhole_detect_timeout_sec:
the initial timeout to use when firewall blackhole issue happens.
This can be set and read.
When setting it to 0, it means to disable the active disable logic.

There's no usbfs anymore. The old features are now either
exported to /dev/bus/usb or via debugfs.
Update documentation accordingly, pointing to the new

40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-03-23
This series contains updates to i40e and i40e.txt documentation.
Jake provides all the changes in the series which are centered around
ntuple filter fixes and additional support. Fixed the current
implementation of .set_rxnfc, where we were not reading the mask field
for filter entries which was resulting in filters not behaving as
expected and not working correctly. When cleaning up after disabling
flow director support, ensure that the default input set is correctly
reprogrammed. Since the hardware only supports a single input set for
all flows of that type, the driver shall only allow the input set to
change if there are no other configured filters for that flow type, so
add support to detect when we can update the input set for each flow
type. Align the driver to other drivers to partition the ring_cookie
value into 8bits of VF index, along with 32bits of queue number instead
of using the user-def field. Added support to parse the user-def field
into a data structure format to allow future extensions of the user-def
filed by keeping all the code that read/writes the field into a single
location. Added support for flexible payloads passed via ethtool
user-def field. We support a single flexible word (2byte) value per
protocol type, and we handle the FLX_PIT register using a list of
flexible entries so that each flow type may be configured separately.
Enabled flow director filters for SCTPv4 packets using the ethtool
ntuple interface to enable filters. Updated the documentation on the
i40e driver to include the newly added support to ntuple filters.
Reduced complexity of a if-continue-else-break section of code by
taking advantage of using hlist_for_each_entry_continue() instead.

Certain system process significant unconnected UDP workload.
It would be preferrable to disable UDP early demux for those systems
and enable it for TCP only.
By disabling UDP demux, we see these slight gains on an ARM64 system-
782 -> 788Mbps unconnected single stream UDPv4
633 -> 654Mbps unconnected UDPv4 different sources
The performance impact can change based on CPU architecure and cache
sizes. There will not much difference seen if entire UDP hash table
is in cache.
Both sysctls are enabled by default to preserve existing behavior.
v1->v2: Change function pointer instead of adding conditional as
suggested by Stephen.
v2->v3: Read once in callers to avoid issues due to compiler
optimizations. Also update commit message with the tests.
v3->v4: Store and use read once result instead of querying pointer
again incorrectly.
v4->v5: Refactor to avoid errors due to compilation with IPV6={m,n}

This commit adds a new sysctl accept_ra_rt_info_min_plen that
defines the minimum acceptable prefix length of Route Information
Options. The new sysctl is intended to be used together with
accept_ra_rt_info_max_plen to configure a range of acceptable
prefix lengths. It is useful to prevent misconfigurations from
unintentionally blackholing too much of the IPv6 address space
(e.g., home routers announcing RIOs for fc00::/7, which is
incorrect).

This patch adds support for ECMP hash policy choice via a new sysctl
called fib_multipath_hash_policy and also adds support for L4 hashes.
The current values for fib_multipath_hash_policy are:
0 - layer 3 (default)
1 - layer 4
If there's an skb hash already set and it matches the chosen policy then it
will be used instead of being calculated (currently only for L4).
In L3 mode we always calculate the hash due to the ICMP error special
case, the flow dissector's field consistentification should handle the
address order thus we can remove the address reversals.
If the skb is provided we always use it for the hash calculation,
otherwise we fallback to fl4, that is if skb is NULL fl4 has to be set.

Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for your
net-next tree. A couple of new features for nf_tables, and unsorted
cleanups and incremental updates for the Netfilter tree. More
specifically, they are:
1) Allow to check for TCP option presence via nft_exthdr, patch
from Phil Sutter.
2) Add symmetric hash support to nft_hash, from Laura Garcia Liebana.
3) Use pr_cont() in ebt_log, from Joe Perches.
4) Remove some dead code in arp_tables reported via static analysis
tool, from Colin Ian King.
5) Consolidate nf_tables expression validation, from Liping Zhang.
6) Consolidate set lookup via nft_set_lookup().
7) Remove unnecessary rcu read lock side in bridge netfilter, from
Florian Westphal.
8) Remove unused variable in nf_reject_ipv4, from Tahee Yoo.
9) Pass nft_ctx struct to object initialization indirections, from
Florian Westphal.
10) Add code to integrate conntrack helper into nf_tables, also from
Florian.
11) Allow to check if interface index or name exists via
NFTA_FIB_F_PRESENT, from Phil Sutter.
12) Simplify resolve_normal_ct(), from Florian.
13) Use per-limit spinlock in nft_limit and xt_limit, from Liping Zhang.
14) Use rwlock in nft_set_rbtree set, also from Liping Zhang.
15) One patch to remove a useless printk at netns init path in ipvs,
and several patches to document IPVS knobs.
16) Use refcount_t for reference counter in the Netfilter/IPVS code,
from Elena Reshetova.

The tcp_tw_recycle was already broken for connections
behind NAT, since the per-destination timestamp is not
monotonically increasing for multiple machines behind
a single destination address.
After the randomization of TCP timestamp offsets
in commit 8a5bd45f6616 (tcp: randomize tcp timestamp offsets
for each connection), the tcp_tw_recycle is broken for all
types of connections for the same reason: the timestamps
received from a single machine is not monotonically increasing,
anymore.
Remove tcp_tw_recycle, since it is not functional. Also, remove
the PAWSPassive SNMP counter since it is only used for
tcp_tw_recycle, and simplify tcp_v4_route_req and tcp_v6_route_req
since the strict argument is only set when tcp_tw_recycle is
enabled.
