udp: Add lockless transmit path
added to IPv4.
UDP transmit path can now run without a socket lock,
thus allowing multiple threads to send to a single socket
more efficiently.
This is only used when corking/MSG_MORE is not used.

Now that we can individually construct IPv6 skbs to send, add a
udpv6_send_skb() function to populate the udp header and send the
skb. This allows udp_v6_push_pending_frames() to re-use this
function as well as enables us to add lockless sendmsg() support.

inet: Add ip_make_skb and ip_finish_skb
It adds IPv6 version of the helpers ip6_make_skb and ip6_finish_skb.
The job of ip6_make_skb is to collect messages into an ipv6 packet
and poplulate ipv6 eader. The job of ip6_finish_skb is to transmit
the generated skb. Together they replicated the job of
ip6_push_pending_frames() while also provide the capability to be
called independently. This will be needed to add lockless UDP sendmsg
support.

explicit data structure. This patch creats eone so that
just ipv6 cork data can be as arguemts. Also, since
IPv6 tries to save the flow label into inet_cork_full
tructure, pass the full cork.

One deployment requirement of DCTCP is to be able to run
in a DC setting along with TCP traffic. As Glenn Judd's
NSDI'15 paper "Attaining the Promise and Avoiding the Pitfalls
of TCP in the Datacenter" [1] (tba) explains, one way to
solve this on switch side is to split DCTCP and TCP traffic
in two queues per switch port based on the DSCP: one queue
soley intended for DCTCP traffic and one for non-DCTCP traffic.
For the DCTCP queue, there's the marking threshold K as
explained in commit e3118e8359bb ("net: tcp: add DCTCP congestion
control algorithm") for RED marking ECT(0) packets with CE.
For the non-DCTCP queue, there's f.e. a classic tail drop queue.
As already explained in e3118e8359bb, running DCTCP at scale
when not marking SYN/SYN-ACK packets with ECT(0) has severe
consequences as for non-ECT(0) packets, traversing the RED
marking DCTCP queue will result in a severe reduction of
connection probability.
This is due to the DCTCP queue being dominated by ECT(0) traffic
and switches handle non-ECT traffic in the RED marking queue
after passing K as drops, where K is usually a low watermark
in order to leave enough tailroom for bursts. Splitting DCTCP
traffic among several queues (ECN and non-ECN queue) is being
considered a terrible idea in the network community as it
splits single flows across multiple network paths.
Therefore, commit e3118e8359bb implements this on Linux as
ECT(0) marked traffic, as we argue that marking all packets
of a DCTCP flow is the only viable solution and also doesn't
speak against the draft.
However, recently, a DCTCP implementation for FreeBSD hit also
their mainline kernel [2]. In order to let them play well
together with Linux' DCTCP, we would need to loosen the
requirement that ECT(0) has to be asserted during the 3WHS as
not implemented in FreeBSD. This simplifies the ECN test and
lets DCTCP work together with FreeBSD.
Joint work with Daniel Borkmann.

Tx timestamps are looped onto the error queue on top of an skb. This
mechanism leaks packet headers to processes unless the no-payload
options SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY is set.
Add a sysctl that optionally drops looped timestamp with data. This
only affects processes without CAP_NET_RAW.
The policy is checked when timestamps are generated in the stack.
It is possible for timestamps with data to be reported after the
sysctl is set, if these were queued internally earlier.
No vulnerability is immediately known that exploits knowledge
gleaned from packet headers, but it may still be preferable to allow
administrators to lock down this path at the cost of possible
breakage of legacy applications.

Add timestamping option SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY. For transmit
timestamps, this loops timestamps on top of empty packets.
Doing so reduces the pressure on SO_RCVBUF. Payload inspection and
cmsg reception (aside from timestamps) are no longer possible. This
works together with a follow on patch that allows administrators to
only allow tx timestamping if it does not loop payload or metadata.

This patch adds support to set/del bridge port attributes in hardware from
the bridge driver.
With this, when the user sends a bridge setlink message with no flags or
master flags set,
- the bridge driver ndo_bridge_setlink handler sets settings in the kernel
- calls the swicthdev api to propagate the attrs to the switchdev
hardware
You can still use the self flag to go to the switch hw or switch port
driver directly.
With this, it also makes sure a notification goes out only after the
attributes are set both in the kernel and hw.
The patch calls switchdev api only if BRIDGE_FLAGS_SELF is not set.
This is because the offload cases with BRIDGE_FLAGS_SELF are handled in
the caller (in rtnetlink.c).

In commit be9f4a44e7d41 ("ipv4: tcp: remove per net tcp_sock")
I tried to address contention on a socket lock, but the solution
I chose was horrible :
commit 3a7c384ffd57e ("ipv4: tcp: unicast_sock should not land outside
of TCP stack") addressed a selinux regression.
commit 0980e56e506b ("ipv4: tcp: set unicast_sock uc_ttl to -1")
took care of another regression.
commit b5ec8eeac46 ("ipv4: fix ip_send_skb()") fixed another regression.
commit 811230cd85 ("tcp: ipv4: initialize unicast_sock sk_pacing_rate")
was another shot in the dark.
Really, just use a proper socket per cpu, and remove the skb_orphan()
call, to re-enable flow control.
This solves a serious problem with FQ packet scheduler when used in
hostile environments, as we do not want to allocate a flow structure
for every RST packet sent in response to a spoofed packet.

sctp_process_param
When making use of RFC5061, section 4.2.4. for setting the primary IP
address, we're passing a wrong parameter header to param_type2af(),
resulting always in NULL being returned.
At this point, param.p points to a sctp_addip_param struct, containing
a sctp_paramhdr (type = 0xc004, length = var), and crr_id as a correlation
id. Followed by that, as also presented in RFC5061 section 4.2.4., comes
the actual sctp_addr_param, which also contains a sctp_paramhdr, but
this time with the correct type SCTP_PARAM_IPV{4,6}_ADDRESS that
param_type2af() can make use of. Since we already hold a pointer to
addr_param from previous line, just reuse it for param_type2af().

The rr_base field is currently the buffer where RPC replies land.
An RPC/RDMA reply header lands in this buffer. In some cases an RPC
reply header also lands in this buffer, just after the RPC/RDMA
header.
The inline threshold is an agreed-on size limit for RDMA SEND
operations that pass from server and client. The sum of the
RPC/RDMA reply header size and the RPC reply header size must be
less than this threshold.
The largest RDMA RECV that the client should have to handle is the
size of the inline threshold. The receive buffer should thus be the
size of the inline threshold, and not related to RPCRDMA_MAX_SEGS.
RPC replies received via RDMA WRITE (long replies) are caught in
rq_rcv_buf, which is the second half of the RPC send buffer. Ie,
such replies are not involved in any way with rr_base.

header is built.
The inline threshold is an agreed-on size limit to for RDMA SEND
operations that pass between client and server. The sum of the
RPC/RDMA header size and the RPC header size must be less than or

Increasing the r/wsize maximum will require MAX_SEGS to grow
significantly, but the inline threshold size won't change (both
sides agree on it). The server's inline threshold doesn't change.
Since an RPC/RDMA header can never be larger than the inline
threshold, make all RPC/RDMA header buffers the size of the
inline threshold.

Because internal memory registration is an expensive and synchronous
operation, xprtrdma pre-registers send and receive buffers at mount
time, and then re-uses them for each RPC.
A "hardway" allocation is a memory allocation and registration that
replaces a send buffer during the processing of an RPC. Hardway must
be done if the RPC send buffer is too small to accommodate an RPC's
call and reply headers.
For xprtrdma, each RPC send buffer is currently part of struct
rpcrdma_req so that xprt_rdma_free(), which is passed nothing but
the address of an RPC send buffer, can find its matching struct
rpcrdma_req and rpcrdma_rep quickly via container_of / offsetof.
That means that hardway currently has to replace a whole rpcrmda_req
when it replaces an RPC send buffer. This is often a fairly hefty
chunk of contiguous memory due to the size of the rl_segments array
and the fact that both the send and receive buffers are part of
struct rpcrdma_req.
Some obscure re-use of fields in rpcrdma_req is done so that
xprt_rdma_free() can detect replaced rpcrdma_req structs, and
restore the original.
This commit breaks apart the RPC send buffer and struct rpcrdma_req
so that increasing the size of the rl_segments array does not change
the alignment of each RPC send buffer. (Increasing rl_segments is
needed to bump up the maximum r/wsize for NFS/RDMA).
This change opens up some interesting possibilities for improving
the design of xprt_rdma_allocate().
xprt_rdma_allocate() is now the one place where RPC send buffers
are allocated or re-allocated, and they are now always left in place
by xprt_rdma_free().
A large re-allocation that includes both the rl_segments array and
the RPC send buffer is no longer needed. Send buffer re-allocation
becomes quite rare. Good send buffer alignment is guaranteed no
matter what the size of the rl_segments array is.
