Some Ethernet MAC drivers using the PHY library require the hardcoding
of link parameters when interfaced to a switch device, SFP module,
switch to switch port, etc. This has typically lead to various ad-hoc
implementations looking like this:
- using a "fixed PHY" emulated device, which will provide link
indication towards the Ethernet MAC driver and hardware
- pretend there is no PHY and hardcode link parameters, ala mv643x_eth
Based on that, it is desireable to have the PHY drivers advertise the
correct link parameters, just like regular Ethernet PHYs towards their
CPU Ethernet MAC drivers, however, Ethernet MAC drivers should be able
to tell whether this link should be monitored or not. In the context
of an Ethernet switch, SFP module, switch to switch link, we do not
need to monitor this link since it should be always up.

Currently, the following case doesn't use DCTCP, even if it should:
A responder has f.e. Cubic as system wide default, but for a specific
route to the initiating host, DCTCP is being set in RTAX_CC_ALGO. The
initiating host then uses DCTCP as congestion control, but since the
initiator sets ECT(0), tcp_ecn_create_request() doesn't set ecn_ok,
and we have to fall back to Reno after 3WHS completes.
We were thinking on how to solve this in a minimal, non-intrusive
way without bloating tcp_ecn_create_request() needlessly: lets cache
the CA ecn option flag in RTAX_FEATURES. In other words, when ECT(0)
is set on the SYN packet, set ecn_ok=1 iff route RTAX_FEATURES
contains the unexposed (internal-only) DST_FEATURE_ECN_CA. This allows
to only do a single metric feature lookup inside tcp_ecn_create_request().
Joint work with Florian Westphal.

By default (subject to the sysctl settings), IPv6 sockets listen also for
IPv4 traffic. Vxlan is not prepared for that and expects IPv6 header in
packets received through an IPv6 socket.
In addition, it's currently not possible to have both IPv4 and IPv6 vxlan
tunnel on the same port (unless bindv6only sysctl is enabled), as it's not
possible to create and bind both IPv4 and IPv6 vxlan interfaces and there's
no way to specify both IPv4 and IPv6 remote/group IP addresses.
Set IPV6_V6ONLY on vxlan sockets to fix both of these issues. This is not
done globally in udp_tunnel, as l2tp and tipc seems to work okay when
receiving IPv4 packets on IPv6 socket and people may rely on this behavior.
The other tunnels (geneve and fou) do not support IPv6.

Netfilter updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for your net-next tree.
In sum, patches to address fallout from the previous round plus updates from
the IPVS folks via Simon Horman, they are:
1) Add a new scheduler to IPVS: The weighted overflow scheduling algorithm
directs network connections to the server with the highest weight that is
currently available and overflows to the next when active connections exceed
the node's weight. From Raducu Deaconu.
2) Fix locking ordering in IPVS, always take rtnl_lock in first place. Patch
from Julian Anastasov.
3) Allow to indicate the MTU to the IPVS in-kernel state sync daemon. From
Julian Anastasov.
4) Enhance multicast configuration for the IPVS state sync daemon. Also from
Julian.
5) Resolve sparse warnings in the nf_dup modules.
6) Fix a linking problem when CONFIG_NF_DUP_IPV6 is not set.
7) Add ICMP codes 5 and 6 to IPv6 REJECT target, they are more informative
subsets of code 1. From Andreas Herz.
8) Revert the jumpstack size calculation from mark_source_chains due to chain
depth miscalculations, from Florian Westphal.
9) Calm down more sparse warning around the Netfilter tree, again from Florian
Westphal.

and rename in6 to a6 for consistency with ipv4. Add a new u32 array to

The range of addresses between 224.0.0.0 and 224.0.0.255 inclusive, is
reserved for the use of routing protocols and other low-level topology
discovery or maintenance protocols, such as gateway discovery and
group membership reporting. Multicast routers should not forward any
multicast datagram with destination addresses in this range,
regardless of its TTL.
Currently, IGMP reports are generated for this reserved range of
addresses even though a router will ignore this information since it
has no purpose. However, the presence of reserved group addresses in
an IGMP membership report uses up network bandwidth and can also
obscure addresses of interest when inspecting membership reports using
packet inspection or debug messages.
Although the RFCs for the various version of IGMP (e.g.RFC 3376 for
v3) do not specify that the reserved addresses be excluded from
membership reports, it should do no harm in doing so. In particular
there should be no adverse effect in any IGMP snooping functionality
since 224.0.0.x is specifically excluded as per RFC 4541 (IGMP and MLD
Snooping Switches Considerations) section 2.1.2. Data Forwarding
Rules:
2) Packets with a destination IP (DIP) address in the 224.0.0.X
range which are not IGMP must be forwarded on all ports.
IGMP reports for local multicast groups can now be optionally
inhibited by means of a system control variable (by setting the value
to zero) e.g.:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/igmp_link_local_mcast_reports
To retain backwards compatibility the previous behaviour is retained
by default on system boot or reverted by setting the value back to
non-zero e.g.:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/igmp_link_local_mcast_reports

For classifiers getting invoked via tc_classify(), we always need an
extra function call into tc_classify_compat(), as both are being
exported as symbols and tc_classify() itself doesn't do much except
handling of reclassifications when tp->classify() returned with
TC_ACT_RECLASSIFY.
CBQ and ATM are the only qdiscs that directly call into tc_classify_compat(),
all others use tc_classify(). When tc actions are being configured
out in the kernel, tc_classify() effectively does nothing besides
delegating.
We could spare this layer and consolidate both functions. pktgen on
single CPU constantly pushing skbs directly into the netif_receive_skb()
path with a dummy classifier on ingress qdisc attached, improves
slightly from 22.3Mpps to 23.1Mpps.

Add support for using conntrack helpers to assist protocol detection.
The new OVS_CT_ATTR_HELPER attribute of the CT action specifies a helper
to be used for this connection. If no helper is specified, then helpers
will be automatically applied as per the sysctl configuration of
net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_helper.
The helper may be specified as part of the conntrack action, eg:
ct(helper=ftp). Initial packets for related connections should be
committed to allow later packets for the flow to be considered
established.
Example ovs-ofctl flows allowing FTP connections from ports 1->2:
in_port=1,tcp,action=ct(helper=ftp,commit),2
in_port=2,tcp,ct_state=-trk,action=ct(recirc)

Expose the kernel connection tracker via OVS. Userspace components can
make use of the CT action to populate the connection state (ct_state)
field for a flow. This state can be subsequently matched.
Exposed connection states are OVS_CS_F_*:
- NEW (0x01) - Beginning of a new connection.
- ESTABLISHED (0x02) - Part of an existing connection.
- RELATED (0x04) - Related to an established connection.
- INVALID (0x20) - Could not track the connection for this packet.
- REPLY_DIR (0x40) - This packet is in the reply direction for the flow.
- TRACKED (0x80) - This packet has been sent through conntrack.
When the CT action is executed by itself, it will send the packet
through the connection tracker and populate the ct_state field with one
or more of the connection state flags above. The CT action will always
set the TRACKED bit.
When the COMMIT flag is passed to the conntrack action, this specifies
that information about the connection should be stored. This allows
subsequent packets for the same (or related) connections to be
correlated with this connection. Sending subsequent packets for the
connection through conntrack allows the connection tracker to consider
the packets as ESTABLISHED, RELATED, and/or REPLY_DIR.
The CT action may optionally take a zone to track the flow within. This
allows connections with the same 5-tuple to be kept logically separate
from connections in other zones. If the zone is specified, then the
"ct_zone" match field will be subsequently populated with the zone id.
IP fragments are handled by transparently assembling them as part of the
CT action. The maximum received unit (MRU) size is tracked so that
refragmentation can occur during output.
IP frag handling contributed by Andy Zhou.
Based on original design by Justin Pettit.

Similar to act_gact/act_mirred, act_bpf can be lockless in packet processing
with extra care taken to free bpf programs after rcu grace period.
Replacement of existing act_bpf (very rare) is done with synchronize_rcu()
and final destruction is done from tc_action_ops->cleanup() callback that is
called from tcf_exts_destroy()->tcf_action_destroy()->__tcf_hash_release() when
bind and refcnt reach zero which is only possible when classifier is destroyed.
Previous two patches fixed the last two classifiers (tcindex and rsvp) to
call tcf_exts_destroy() from rcu callback.
Similar to gact/mirred there is a race between prog->filter and
prog->tcf_action. Meaning that the program being replaced may use
previous default action if it happened to return TC_ACT_UNSPEC.
act_mirred race betwen tcf_action and tcfm_dev is similar.
In all cases the race is harmless.
Long term we may want to improve the situation by replacing the whole
tc_action->priv as single pointer instead of updating inner fields one by one.

Commit 1851617cd2da ("PCI/MSI: Disable MSI at enumeration even if kernel
doesn't support MSI") changed the location of the code that initialises
dev->msi_cap/msix_cap and then disables MSI/MSI-X interrupts at PCI
probe time in devices that have this flag set. It moved the code from
pci_msi_init_pci_dev() to a new function named pci_msi_setup_pci_dev(),
called by pci_setup_device().
The pseries PCI probing code does not call pci_setup_device(), so since
the aforementioned commit the function pci_msi_setup_pci_dev() is not
called and MSI/MSI-X interrupts are left enabled. Additionally because
dev->msi_cap/msix_cap are not initialised no driver can ever enable
MSI/MSI-X.
To fix this, the pseries PCI probe should manually call
pci_msi_setup_pci_dev(), so this patch makes it non-static.

When TCP pacing was added back in linux-3.12, we chose
to apply a fixed ratio of 200 % against current rate,
to allow probing for optimal throughput even during
slow start phase, where cwnd can be doubled every other gRTT.
At Google, we found it was better applying a different ratio
while in Congestion Avoidance phase.
This ratio was set to 120 %.
We've used the normal tcp_in_slow_start() helper for a while,
then tuned the condition to select the conservative ratio
as soon as cwnd >= ssthresh/2 :
- After cwnd reduction, it is safer to ramp up more slowly,
as we approach optimal cwnd.
- Initial ramp up (ssthresh == INFINITY) still allows doubling
cwnd every other RTT.

slow start after idle might reduce cwnd, but we perform this
after first packet was cooked and sent.
With TSO/GSO, it means that we might send a full TSO packet
even if cwnd should have been reduced to IW10.
Moving the SSAI check in skb_entail() makes sense, because
we slightly reduce number of times this check is done,
especially for large send() and TCP Small queue callbacks from
softirq context.
As Neal pointed out, we also need to perform the check
if/when receive window opens.
Tested:
Following packetdrill test demonstrates the problem
// Test of slow start after idle
`sysctl -q net.ipv4.tcp_slow_start_after_idle=1`

Add cfg and family arguments to lwt build state functions. cfg is a void
pointer and will either be a pointer to a fib_config or fib6_config
structure. The family parameter indicates which one (either AF_INET
or AF_INET6).
LWT encpasulation implementation may use the fib configuration to build
the LWT state.
