Clang produces the following warning:

add parentheses after the '!' to evaluate the comparison first
add parentheses around left hand side expression to silence this warning
There's not necessarily a bug here, but it's cleaner to return early,
ex:

rather than:

This allows setting 2 and 4 byte quantities in the tcp option space.
Main purpose is to allow native replacement for xt_TCPMSS to
work around pmtu blackholes.
Writes to kind and len are now allowed at the moment, it does not seem
useful to do this as it causes corruption of the tcp option space.
We can always lift this restriction later if a use-case appears.

When a nf_conntrack_l3/4proto parameter is not on the left hand side
of an assignment, its address is not taken, and it is not passed to a
function that may modify its fields, then it can be declared as const.
This change is useful from a documentation point of view, and can
possibly facilitate making some nf_conntrack_l3/4proto structures const
subsequently.

Discussion during NFWS 2017 in Faro has shown that the current
conntrack behaviour is unreasonable.
Even if conntrack module is loaded on behalf of a single net namespace,
its turned on for all namespaces, which is expensive. Commit
481fa373476 ("netfilter: conntrack: add nf_conntrack_default_on sysctl")
attempted to provide an alternative to the 'default on' behaviour by
adding a sysctl to change it.
However, as Eric points out, the sysctl only becomes available
once the module is loaded, and then its too late.
So we either have to move the sysctl to the core, or, alternatively,
change conntrack to become active only once the rule set requires this.
This does the latter, conntrack is only enabled when a rule needs it.

switch to lockless lockup. write side now also increments sequence
counter. On lookup, sample counter value and only take the lock
if we did not find a match and the counter has changed.
This avoids need to write to private area in normal (lookup) cases.
In case we detect a writer (seqretry is true) we fall back to taking
the readlock.
The readlock is also used during dumps to ensure we get a consistent
tree walk.
Similar technique (rbtree+seqlock) was used by David Howells in rxrpc.

nft_trace_notify() is called only from __nft_trace_packet(), which
assigns its parameter 'chain' to info->chain. __nft_trace_packet() in
turn later dereferences 'chain' unconditionally, which indicates that
it's never NULL. Same does nft_do_chain(), the only user of the tracing
infrastructure. Hence it is safe to assume the check removed here is not
needed.

When skb is queued to userspace it leaves softirq/rcu protection.
skb->nfct (via conntrack extensions such as helper) could then reference
modules that no longer exist if the conntrack was not yet confirmed.
nf_ct_iterate_destroy() will set the DYING bit for unconfirmed
conntracks, we therefore solve this race as follows:
1. take the queue spinlock.
2. check if the conntrack is unconfirmed and has dying bit set.
In this case, we must discard skb while we're still inside
rcu read-side section.
3. If nf_ct_iterate_destroy() is called right after the packet is queued
to userspace, it will be removed from the queue via
nf_ct_iterate_destroy -> nf_queue_nf_hook_drop.
When userspace sends the verdict (nfnetlink takes rcu read lock), there
are two cases to consider:
1. nf_ct_iterate_destroy() was called while packet was out.
In this case, skb will have been removed from the queue already
and no reinject takes place as we won't find a matching entry for the
packet id.
2. nf_ct_iterate_destroy() gets called right after verdict callback
found and removed the skb from queue list.
In this case, skb->nfct is marked as dying but it is still valid.
The skb will be dropped either in nf_conntrack_confirm (we don't
insert DYING conntracks into hash table) or when we try to queue
the skb again, but either events don't occur before the rcu read lock
is dropped.

queued skbs might be using conntrack extensions that are being removed,
such as timeout. This happens for skbs that have a skb->nfct in
unconfirmed state (i.e., not in hash table yet).
This is destructive, but there are only two use cases:
- module removal (rare)
- netns cleanup (most likely no conntracks exist, and if they do,
they are removed anyway later on).

This patch removes duplicate rcu_read_lock().
1. IPVS part:
According to Julian Anastasov's mention, contexts of ipvs are described
at: http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=149562884514072&w=2, in summary:
- packet RX/TX: does not need locks because packets come from hooks.
- sync msg RX: backup server uses RCU locks while registering new
connections.
- ip_vs_ctl.c: configuration get/set, RCU locks needed.
- xt_ipvs.c: It is a netfilter match, running from hook context.
As result, rcu_read_lock and rcu_read_unlock can be removed from:
- ip_vs_core.c: all
- ip_vs_ctl.c:
- only from ip_vs_has_real_service
- ip_vs_ftp.c: all
- ip_vs_proto_sctp.c: all
- ip_vs_proto_tcp.c: all
- ip_vs_proto_udp.c: all
- ip_vs_xmit.c: all (contains only packet processing)
2. Netfilter part:
There are three types of functions that are guaranteed the rcu_read_lock().
First, as result, functions are only called by nf_hook():
- nf_conntrack_broadcast_help(), pptp_expectfn(), set_expected_rtp_rtcp().
- tcpmss_reverse_mtu(), tproxy_laddr4(), tproxy_laddr6().
- match_lookup_rt6(), check_hlist(), hashlimit_mt_common().
- xt_osf_match_packet().
Second, functions that caller already held the rcu_read_lock().
- destroy_conntrack(), ctnetlink_conntrack_event().
- ctnl_timeout_find_get(), nfqnl_nf_hook_drop().
Third, functions that are mixed with type1 and type2.
These functions are called by nf_hook() also these are called by
ordinary functions that already held the rcu_read_lock():
- __ctnetlink_glue_build(), ctnetlink_expect_event().
- ctnetlink_proto_size().
Applied files are below:
- nf_conntrack_broadcast.c, nf_conntrack_core.c, nf_conntrack_netlink.c.
- nf_conntrack_pptp.c, nf_conntrack_sip.c, nfnetlink_cttimeout.c.
- nfnetlink_queue.c, xt_TCPMSS.c, xt_TPROXY.c, xt_addrtype.c.
- xt_connlimit.c, xt_hashlimit.c, xt_osf.c

cp->cp_send_gen is treated as a normal variable, although it may be
used by different threads.
This is fixed by using {READ,WRITE}_ONCE when it is incremented and
READ_ONCE when it is read outside the {acquire,release}_in_xmit
protection.
Normative reference from the Linux-Kernel Memory Model:
Loads from and stores to shared (but non-atomic) variables should
be protected with the READ_ONCE(), WRITE_ONCE(), and
ACCESS_ONCE().
Clause 5.1.2.4/25 in the C standard is also relevant.

Net stack initialization currently initializes fib-trie after the
first call to netdevice_notifier() call. In fact fib_trie initialization
needs to happen before first rtnl_register(). It does not cause any problem
since there are no devices UP at this moment, but trying to bring 'lo'
UP at initialization would make this assumption wrong and exposes the issue.

The duplicate CHANGEADDR event message is sent regardless of link

the link is up. Not sending a notification when the link is down breaks
dhcpcd which only processes hwaddr changes when the link is down.

This patch adjusts the timeout formula to schedule the TCP loss probe
(TLP). The previous formula uses 2*SRTT or 1.5*RTT + DelayACKMax if
only one packet is in flight. It keeps a lower bound of 10 msec which
is too large for short RTT connections (e.g. within a data-center).
The new formula = 2*RTT + (inflight == 1 ? 200ms : 2ticks) which
performs better for short and fast connections.

When calling the flow_free() to free the flow, we call many times
(cpu_possible_mask, eg. 128 as default) cpumask_next(). That will
take up our CPU usage if we call the flow_free() frequently.
When we put all packets to userspace via upcall, and OvS will send
them back via netlink to ovs_packet_cmd_execute(will call flow_free).
The test topo is shown as below. VM01 sends TCP packets to VM02,
and OvS forward packtets. When testing, we use perf to report the
system performance.
VM01 --- OvS-VM --- VM02

With this patch, the TCP throughput(we dont use Megaflow Cache
+ Microflow Cache) between VMs is 1.18Gbs/sec up to 1.30Gbs/sec
(maybe ~10% performance imporve).
This patch adds cpumask struct, the cpu_used_mask stores the cpu_id
that the flow used. And we only check the flow_stats on the cpu we
used, and it is unncessary to check all possible cpu when getting,
cleaning, and updating the flow_stats. Adding the cpu_used_mask to
sw_flow struct does’t increase the cacheline number.
