0da4af00b2 ipv6: only update __use and lastusetime once per jiffy at most
In order to not dirty the cacheline too often, we try to only update
dst->__use and dst->lastusetime at most once per jiffy.
As dst->lastusetime is only used by ipv6 garbage collector, it should
be good enough time resolution.
And __use is only used in ipv6_route_seq_show() to show how many times a
dst has been used. And as __use is not atomic_t right now, it does not
show the precise number of usage times anyway. So we think it should be
OK to only update it at most once per jiffy.

According to my latest syn flood test on a machine with intel Xeon 6th
gen processor and 2 10G mlx nics bonded together, each with 8 rx queues
on 2 NUMA nodes:
With this patch, the packet process rate increases from ~3.49Mpps to
~3.75Mpps with a 7% increase rate.

Note: dst_use() is being renamed to dst_hold_and_use() to better specify
the purpose of the function.

====================
Netfilter updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
tree. Basically, updates to the conntrack core, enhancements for
nf_tables, conversion of netfilter hooks from linked list to array to
improve memory locality and asorted improvements for the Netfilter
codebase. More specifically, they are:

1) Add expection to hashes after timer initialization to prevent
   access from another CPU that walks on the hashes and calls
   del_timer(), from Florian Westphal.

2) Don't update nf_tables chain counters from hot path, this is only
   used by the x_tables compatibility layer.

3) Get rid of nested rcu_read_lock() calls from netfilter hook path.
   Hooks are always guaranteed to run from rcu read side, so remove
   nested rcu_read_lock() where possible. Patch from Taehee Yoo.

4) nf_tables new ruleset generation notifications include PID and name
   of the process that has updated the ruleset, from Phil Sutter.

5) Use skb_header_pointer() from nft_fib, so we can reuse this code from
   the nf_family netdev family. Patch from Pablo M. Bermudo.

6) Add support for nft_fib in nf_tables netdev family, also from Pablo.

7) Use deferrable workqueue for conntrack garbage collection, to reduce
   power consumption, from Patch from Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan.

8) Add nf_ct_expect_iterate_net() helper and use it. From Florian
   Westphal.

9) Call nf_ct_unconfirmed_destroy only from cttimeout, from Florian.

10) Drop references on conntrack removal path when skbuffs has escaped via
    nfqueue, from Florian.

11) Don't queue packets to nfqueue with dying conntrack, from Florian.

12) Constify nf_hook_ops structure, from Florian.

13) Remove neededlessly branch in nf_tables trace code, from Phil Sutter.

14) Add nla_strdup(), from Phil Sutter.

15) Rise nf_tables objects name size up to 255 chars, people want to use
    DNS names, so increase this according to what RFC 1035 specifies.
    Patch series from Phil Sutter.

16) Kill nf_conntrack_default_on, it's broken. Default on conntrack hook
    registration on demand, suggested by Eric Dumazet, patch from Florian.

17) Remove unused variables in compat_copy_entry_from_user both in
    ip_tables and arp_tables code. Patch from Taehee Yoo.

18) Constify struct nf_conntrack_l4proto, from Julia Lawall.

19) Constify nf_loginfo structure, also from Julia.

20) Use a single rb root in connlimit, from Taehee Yoo.

21) Remove unused netfilter_queue_init() prototype, from Taehee Yoo.

22) Use audit_log() instead of open-coding it, from Geliang Tang.

23) Allow to mangle tcp options via nft_exthdr, from Florian.

24) Allow to fetch TCP MSS from nft_rt, from Florian. This includes
    a fix for a miscalculation of the minimal length.

25) Simplify branch logic in h323 helper, from Nick Desaulniers.

26) Calculate netlink attribute size for conntrack tuple at compile
    time, from Florian.

27) Remove protocol name field from nf_conntrack_{l3,l4}proto structure.
    From Florian.

28) Remove holes in nf_conntrack_l4proto structure, so it becomes
    smaller. From Florian.

29) Get rid of print_tuple() indirection for /proc conntrack listing.
    Place all the code in net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_standalone.c.
    Patch from Florian.

30) Do not built in print_conntrack() if CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_PROCFS is
    off. From Florian.

31) Constify most nf_conntrack_{l3,l4}proto helper functions, from
    Florian.

32) Fix broken indentation in ebtables extensions, from Colin Ian King.

33) Fix several harmless sparse warning, from Florian.

34) Convert netfilter hook infrastructure to use array for better memory
    locality, joint work done by Florian and Aaron Conole. Moreover, add
    some instrumentation to debug this.

35) Batch nf_unregister_net_hooks() calls, to call synchronize_net once
    per batch, from Florian.

36) Get rid of noisy logging in ICMPv6 conntrack helper, from Florian.

37) Get rid of obsolete NFDEBUG() instrumentation, from Varsha Rao.

38) Remove unused code in the generic protocol tracker, from Davide
    Caratti.

I think I will have material for a second Netfilter batch in my queue if
time allow to make it fit in this merge window.

eaa72dc474 neigh: increase queue_len_bytes to match wmem_default
Florian reported UDP xmit drops that could be root caused to the
too small neigh limit.

Current limit is 64 KB, meaning that even a single UDP socket would hit
it, since its default sk_sndbuf comes from net.core.wmem_default
(~212992 bytes on 64bit arches).

Once ARP/ND resolution is in progress, we should allow a little more
packets to be queued, at least for one producer.

Once neigh arp_queue is filled, a rogue socket should hit its sk_sndbuf
limit and either block in sendmsg() or return -EAGAIN.

b2a9c0ed75 net: remove DST_NOGC flag
Now that all the components have been changed to release dst based on
refcnt only and not depend on dst gc anymore, we can remove the
temporary flag DST_NOGC.

Note that we also need to remove the DST_NOCACHE check in dst_release()
and dst_hold_safe() because now all the dst are released based on refcnt
and behaves as DST_NOCACHE.

560fd93bca decnet: take dst->__refcnt when struct dn_route is created
struct dn_route is inserted into dn_rt_hash_table but no dst->__refcnt
is taken.
This patch makes sure the dn_rt_hash_table's reference to the dst is ref
counted.

As the dst is always ref counted properly, we can safely mark
DST_NOGC flag so dst_release() will release dst based on refcnt only.
And dst gc is no longer needed and all dst_free() or its related
function calls should be replaced with dst_release() or
dst_release_immediate(). And dst_dev_put() is called when removing dst
from the hash table to release the reference on dst->dev before we lose
pointer to it.

Also, correct the logic in dn_dst_check_expire() and dn_dst_gc() to
check dst->__refcnt to be > 1 to indicate it is referenced by other
users.

247488c0a4 decnet: always not take dst->__refcnt when inserting dst into hash table
In the existing dn_route.c code, dn_route_output_slow() takes
dst->__refcnt before calling dn_insert_route() while dn_route_input_slow()
does not take dst->__refcnt before calling dn_insert_route().
This makes the whole routing code very buggy.
In dn_dst_check_expire(), dnrt_free() is called when rt expires. This
makes the routes inserted by dn_route_output_slow() not able to be
freed as the refcnt is not released.
In dn_dst_gc(), dnrt_drop() is called to release rt which could
potentially cause the dst->__refcnt to be dropped to -1.
In dn_run_flush(), dst_free() is called to release all the dst. Again,
it makes the dst inserted by dn_route_output_slow() not able to be
released and also, it does not wait on the rcu and could potentially
cause crash in the path where other users still refer to this dst.

This patch makes sure both input and output path do not take
dst->__refcnt before calling dn_insert_route() and also makes sure
dnrt_free()/dst_free() is called when removing dst from the hash table.
The only difference between those 2 calls is that dnrt_free() waits on
the rcu while dst_free() does not.

634fef6107 networking: add and use skb_put_u8()
Joe and Bjørn suggested that it'd be nicer to not have the
cast in the fairly common case of doing
	*(u8 *)skb_put(skb, 1) = c;

Add skb_put_u8() for this case, and use it across the code,
using the following spatch:

    @@
    expression SKB, C, S;
    typedef u8;
    identifier fn = {skb_put};
    fresh identifier fn2 = fn ## "_u8";
    @@
    - *(u8 *)fn(SKB, S) = C;
    + fn2(SKB, C);

Note that due to the "S", the spatch isn't perfect, it should
have checked that S is 1, but there's also places that use a
sizeof expression like sizeof(var) or sizeof(u8) etc. Turns
out that nobody ever did something like
	*(u8 *)skb_put(skb, 2) = c;

which would be wrong anyway since the second byte wouldn't be
initialized.

0604475119 tcp: add TCPMemoryPressuresChrono counter
DRAM supply shortage and poor memory pressure tracking in TCP
stack makes any change in SO_SNDBUF/SO_RCVBUF (or equivalent autotuning
limits) and tcp_mem[] quite hazardous.

TCPMemoryPressures SNMP counter is an indication of tcp_mem sysctl
limits being hit, but only tracking number of transitions.

If TCP stack behavior under stress was perfect :
1) It would maintain memory usage close to the limit.
2) Memory pressure state would be entered for short times.

We certainly prefer 100 events lasting 10ms compared to one event
lasting 200 seconds.

This patch adds a new SNMP counter tracking cumulative duration of
memory pressure events, given in ms units.

$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_mem
3088    4117    6176
$ grep TCP /proc/net/sockstat
TCP: inuse 180 orphan 0 tw 2 alloc 234 mem 4140
$ nstat -n ; sleep 10 ; nstat |grep Pressure
TcpExtTCPMemoryPressures        1700

063246641d format-security: move static strings to const
While examining output from trial builds with -Wformat-security enabled,
many strings were found that should be defined as "const", or as a char
array instead of char pointer.  This makes some static analysis easier,
by producing fewer false positives.

As these are all trivial changes, it seemed best to put them all in a
single patch rather than chopping them up per maintainer.

====================
Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
tree. A large bunch of code cleanups, simplify the conntrack extension
codebase, get rid of the fake conntrack object, speed up netns by
selective synchronize_net() calls. More specifically, they are:

1) Check for ct->status bit instead of using nfct_nat() from IPVS and
   Netfilter codebase, patch from Florian Westphal.

2) Use kcalloc() wherever possible in the IPVS code, from Varsha Rao.

3) Simplify FTP IPVS helper module registration path, from Arushi Singhal.

4) Introduce nft_is_base_chain() helper function.

5) Enforce expectation limit from userspace conntrack helper,
   from Gao Feng.

6) Add nf_ct_remove_expect() helper function, from Gao Feng.

7) NAT mangle helper function return boolean, from Gao Feng.

8) ctnetlink_alloc_expect() should only work for conntrack with
   helpers, from Gao Feng.

9) Add nfnl_msg_type() helper function to nfnetlink to build the
   netlink message type.

10) Get rid of unnecessary cast on void, from simran singhal.

11) Use seq_puts()/seq_putc() instead of seq_printf() where possible,
    also from simran singhal.

12) Use list_prev_entry() from nf_tables, from simran signhal.

13) Remove unnecessary & on pointer function in the Netfilter and IPVS
    code.

14) Remove obsolete comment on set of rules per CPU in ip6_tables,
    no longer true. From Arushi Singhal.

15) Remove duplicated nf_conntrack_l4proto_udplite4, from Gao Feng.

16) Remove unnecessary nested rcu_read_lock() in
    __nf_nat_decode_session(). Code running from hooks are already
    guaranteed to run under RCU read side.

17) Remove deadcode in nf_tables_getobj(), from Aaron Conole.

18) Remove double assignment in nf_ct_l4proto_pernet_unregister_one(),
    also from Aaron.

19) Get rid of unsed __ip_set_get_netlink(), from Aaron Conole.

20) Don't propagate NF_DROP error to userspace via ctnetlink in
    __nf_nat_alloc_null_binding() function, from Gao Feng.

21) Revisit nf_ct_deliver_cached_events() to remove unnecessary checks,
    from Gao Feng.

22) Kill the fake untracked conntrack objects, use ctinfo instead to
    annotate a conntrack object is untracked, from Florian Westphal.

23) Remove nf_ct_is_untracked(), now obsolete since we have no
    conntrack template anymore, from Florian.

24) Add event mask support to nft_ct, also from Florian.

25) Move nf_conn_help structure to
    include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_helper.h.

26) Add a fixed 32 bytes scratchpad area for conntrack helpers.
    Thus, we don't deal with variable conntrack extensions anymore.
    Make sure userspace conntrack helper doesn't go over that size.
    Remove variable size ct extension infrastructure now this code
    got no more clients. From Florian Westphal.

27) Restore offset and length of nf_ct_ext structure to 8 bytes now
    that wraparound is not possible any longer, also from Florian.

28) Allow to get rid of unassured flows under stress in conntrack,
    this applies to DCCP, SCTP and TCP protocols, from Florian.

29) Shrink size of nf_conntrack_ecache structure, from Florian.

30) Use TCP_MAX_WSCALE instead of hardcoded 14 in TCP tracker,
    from Gao Feng.

31) Register SYNPROXY hooks on demand, from Florian Westphal.

32) Use pernet hook whenever possible, instead of global hook
    registration, from Florian Westphal.

33) Pass hook structure to ebt_register_table() to consolidate some
    infrastructure code, from Florian Westphal.

34) Use consume_skb() and return NF_STOLEN, instead of NF_DROP in the
    SYNPROXY code, to make sure device stats are not fooled, patch
    from Gao Feng.

35) Remove NF_CT_EXT_F_PREALLOC this kills quite some code that we
    don't need anymore if we just select a fixed size instead of
    expensive runtime time calculation of this. From Florian.

36) Constify nf_ct_extend_register() and nf_ct_extend_unregister(),
    from Florian.

37) Simplify nf_ct_ext_add(), this kills nf_ct_ext_create(), from
    Florian.

38) Attach NAT extension on-demand from masquerade and pptp helper
    path, from Florian.

39) Get rid of useless ip_vs_set_state_timeout(), from Aaron Conole.

40) Speed up netns by selective calls of synchronize_net(), from
    Florian Westphal.

41) Silence stack size warning gcc in 32-bit arch in snmp helper,
    from Florian.

42) Inconditionally call nf_ct_ext_destroy(), even if we have no
    extensions, to deal with the NF_NAT_MANIP_SRC case. Patch from
    Liping Zhang.

cdfbabfb2f net: Work around lockdep limitation in sockets that use sockets
Lockdep issues a circular dependency warning when AFS issues an operation
through AF_RXRPC from a context in which the VFS/VM holds the mmap_sem.

The theory lockdep comes up with is as follows:

 (1) If the pagefault handler decides it needs to read pages from AFS, it
     calls AFS with mmap_sem held and AFS begins an AF_RXRPC call, but
     creating a call requires the socket lock:

	mmap_sem must be taken before sk_lock-AF_RXRPC

 (2) afs_open_socket() opens an AF_RXRPC socket and binds it.  rxrpc_bind()
     binds the underlying UDP socket whilst holding its socket lock.
     inet_bind() takes its own socket lock:

	sk_lock-AF_RXRPC must be taken before sk_lock-AF_INET

 (3) Reading from a TCP socket into a userspace buffer might cause a fault
     and thus cause the kernel to take the mmap_sem, but the TCP socket is
     locked whilst doing this:

	sk_lock-AF_INET must be taken before mmap_sem

However, lockdep's theory is wrong in this instance because it deals only
with lock classes and not individual locks.  The AF_INET lock in (2) isn't
really equivalent to the AF_INET lock in (3) as the former deals with a
socket entirely internal to the kernel that never sees userspace.  This is
a limitation in the design of lockdep.

Fix the general case by:

 (1) Double up all the locking keys used in sockets so that one set are
     used if the socket is created by userspace and the other set is used
     if the socket is created by the kernel.

 (2) Store the kern parameter passed to sk_alloc() in a variable in the
     sock struct (sk_kern_sock).  This informs sock_lock_init(),
     sock_init_data() and sk_clone_lock() as to the lock keys to be used.

     Note that the child created by sk_clone_lock() inherits the parent's
     kern setting.

 (3) Add a 'kern' parameter to ->accept() that is analogous to the one
     passed in to ->create() that distinguishes whether kernel_accept() or
     sys_accept4() was the caller and can be passed to sk_alloc().

     Note that a lot of accept functions merely dequeue an already
     allocated socket.  I haven't touched these as the new socket already
     exists before we get the parameter.

     Note also that there are a couple of places where I've made the accepted
     socket unconditionally kernel-based:

	irda_accept()
	rds_rcp_accept_one()
	tcp_accept_from_sock()

     because they follow a sock_create_kern() and accept off of that.

Whilst creating this, I noticed that lustre and ocfs don't create sockets
through sock_create_kern() and thus they aren't marked as for-kernel,
though they appear to be internal.  I wonder if these should do that so
that they use the new set of lock keys.

79462ad02e net: add validation for the socket syscall protocol argument
郭永刚 reported that one could simply crash the kernel as root by
using a simple program:

	int socket_fd;
	struct sockaddr_in addr;
	addr.sin_port = 0;
	addr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
	addr.sin_family = 10;

	socket_fd = socket(10,3,0x40000000);
	connect(socket_fd , &addr,16);

AF_INET, AF_INET6 sockets actually only support 8-bit protocol
identifiers. inet_sock's skc_protocol field thus is sized accordingly,
thus larger protocol identifiers simply cut off the higher bits and
store a zero in the protocol fields.

This could lead to e.g. NULL function pointer because as a result of
the cut off inet_num is zero and we call down to inet_autobind, which
is NULL for raw sockets.

008027c31d netfilter: turn NF_HOOK into an inline function
A recent change to the dst_output handling caused a new warning
when the call to NF_HOOK() is the only used of a local variable
passed as 'dev', and CONFIG_NETFILTER is disabled:

net/ipv6/ip6_output.c: In function 'ip6_output':
net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:135:21: warning: unused variable 'dev' [-Wunused-variable]

The reason for this is that the NF_HOOK macro in this case does
not reference the variable at all, and the call to dev_net(dev)
got removed from the ip6_output function. To avoid that warning now
and in the future, this changes the macro into an equivalent
inline function, which tells the compiler that the variable is
passed correctly but still unused.

The dn_forward function apparently had the same problem in
the past and added a local workaround that no longer works
with the inline function. In order to avoid a regression, we
have to also remove the #ifdef from decnet in the same patch.

06198b34a3 netfilter: Pass priv instead of nf_hook_ops to netfilter hooks
Only pass the void *priv parameter out of the nf_hook_ops.  That is
all any of the functions are interested now, and by limiting what is
passed it becomes simpler to change implementation details.

0c4b51f005 netfilter: Pass net into okfn
This is immediately motivated by the bridge code that chains functions that
call into netfilter.  Without passing net into the okfns the bridge code would
need to guess about the best expression for the network namespace to process
packets in.

As net is frequently one of the first things computed in continuation functions
after netfilter has done it's job passing in the desired network namespace is in
many cases a code simplification.

To support this change the function dst_output_okfn is introduced to
simplify passing dst_output as an okfn.  For the moment dst_output_okfn
just silently drops the struct net.
