Found by reviewing the warning about unused policy table.
The code implies that it meant to check for size, but since
it unrolled the loop for attribute validation that is never used.

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.

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.

Since commit b68581778cd0 ("net: Make skb->skb_iif always track
skb->dev") skbs don't have the original index of the interface which
received the packet. This information is now needed for a new control
message related to hardware timestamping.
Instead of adding a new field to skb, we can find the device by the NAPI
ID if it is available, i.e. CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL is enabled and the
driver is using NAPI. Add dev_get_by_napi_id() and also skb_napi_id() to
hide the CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL ifdef.

Since commit 76b91c32dd86 ("bridge: stp: when using userspace stp stop
kernel hello and hold timers"), bridge would not start hello_timer if
stp_enabled is not KERNEL_STP when br_dev_open.
The problem is even if users set stp_enabled with KERNEL_STP later,
the timer will still not be started. It causes that KERNEL_STP can
not really work. Users have to re-ifup the bridge to avoid this.
This patch is to fix it by starting br->hello_timer when enabling
KERNEL_STP in br_stp_start.
As an improvement, it's also to start hello_timer again only when
br->stp_enabled is KERNEL_STP in br_hello_timer_expired, there is
no reason to start the timer again when it's NO_STP.
Fixes: 76b91c32dd86 ("bridge: stp: when using userspace stp stop kernel hello and hold timers")

Currently, when arp_accept is 1, we always override existing neigh
entries with incoming gratuitous ARP replies. Otherwise, we override
them only if new replies satisfy _locktime_ conditional (packets arrive
not earlier than _locktime_ seconds since the last update to the neigh
entry).
The idea behind locktime is to pick the very first (=> close) reply
received in a unicast burst when ARP proxies are used. This helps to
avoid ARP thrashing where Linux would switch back and forth from one
proxy to another.
This logic has nothing to do with gratuitous ARP replies that are
generally not aligned in time when multiple IP address carriers send
them into network.
This patch enforces overriding of existing neigh entries by all incoming
gratuitous ARP packets, irrespective of their time of arrival. This will
make the kernel honour all incoming gratuitous ARP packets.

The addr_type retrieval can be costly, so it's worth trying to avoid its
calculation as much as possible. This patch makes it calculated only
for gratuitous ARP packets. This is especially important since later we
may want to move is_garp calculation outside of arp_accept block, at
which point the costly operation will be executed for all setups.

When tcp_disconnect() is called, inet_csk_delack_init() sets
icsk->icsk_ack.rcv_mss to 0.
This could potentially cause tcp_recvmsg() => tcp_cleanup_rbuf() =>

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:
====================
Netfilter/IPVS fixes for net
The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS fixes for your net tree,
they are:
1) When using IPVS in direct-routing mode, normal traffic from the LVS
host to a back-end server is sometimes incorrectly NATed on the way
back into the LVS host. Patch to fix this from Julian Anastasov.
2) Calm down clang compilation warning in ctnetlink due to type
mismatch, from Matthias Kaehlcke.
3) Do not re-setup NAT for conntracks that are already confirmed, this
is fixing a problem that was introduced in the previous nf-next batch.
Patch from Liping Zhang.
4) Do not allow conntrack helper removal from userspace cthelper
infrastructure if already in used. This comes with an initial patch
to introduce nf_conntrack_helper_put() that is required by this fix.
From Liping Zhang.
5) Zero the pad when copying data to userspace, otherwise iptables fails
to remove rules. This is a follow up on the patchset that sorts out
the internal match/target structure pointer leak to userspace. Patch
from the same author, Willem de Bruijn. This also comes with a build
failure when CONFIG_COMPAT is not on, coming in the last patch of
this series.
6) SYNPROXY crashes with conntrack entries that are created via
ctnetlink, more specifically via conntrackd state sync. Patch from
Eric Leblond.
7) RCU safe iteration on set element dumping in nf_tables, from
Liping Zhang.
8) Missing sanitization of immediate date for the bitwise and cmp
expressions in nf_tables.
9) Refcounting logic for chain and objects from set elements does not
integrate into the nf_tables 2-phase commit protocol.
10) Missing sanitization of target verdict in ebtables arpreply target,
from Gao Feng.

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

skb->csum_not_inet carries the indication on which algorithm is needed to
compute checksum on skb in the transmit path, when skb->ip_summed is equal
to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. If skb carries a SCTP packet and crc32c hasn't been
yet written in L4 header, skb->csum_not_inet is assigned to 1; otherwise,
assume Internet Checksum is needed and thus set skb->csum_not_inet to 0.

skb_crc32c_csum_help is like skb_checksum_help, but it is designed for
checksumming SCTP packets using crc32c (see RFC3309), provided that
libcrc32c.ko has been loaded before. In case libcrc32c is not loaded,
invoking skb_crc32c_csum_help on a skb results in one the following

it can't be used in net core. Like it has been done previously with other

to allow computation of crc32c checksum in net core after sctp.ko (and thus
libcrc32c) has been loaded.

TCP Timestamps option is defined in RFC 7323
Traditionally on linux, it has been tied to the internal
'jiffies' variable, because it had been a cheap and good enough
generator.
For TCP flows on the Internet, 1 ms resolution would be much better
than 4ms or 10ms (HZ=250 or HZ=100 respectively)
For TCP flows in the DC, Google has used usec resolution for more
than two years with great success [1]
Receive size autotuning (DRS) is indeed more precise and converges
faster to optimal window size.
This patch converts tp->tcp_mstamp to a plain u64 value storing
a 1 usec TCP clock.
This choice will allow us to upstream the 1 usec TS option as
discussed in IETF 97.
