7539fadcb8 net: Add utility functions to clear rxhash
In several places 'skb->rxhash = 0' is being done to clear the
rxhash value in an skb.  This does not clear l4_rxhash which could
still be set so that the rxhash wouldn't be recalculated on subsequent
call to skb_get_rxhash.  This patch adds an explict function to clear
all the rxhash related information in the skb properly.

skb_clear_hash_if_not_l4 clears the rxhash only if it is not marked as
l4_rxhash.

Fixed up places where 'skb->rxhash = 0' was being called.

a4023dd01a dst.h: Remove extern from function prototypes
There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources.  Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.

Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler.  Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

aaa0c23cb9 Fix dst_neigh_lookup/dst_neigh_lookup_skb return value handling bug
When neighbour table is full, dst_neigh_lookup/dst_neigh_lookup_skb will return
-ENOBUFS which is absolutely non zero, while all the code in kernel which use
above functions assume failure only on zero return which will cause panic. (for
example: : https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54731).

This patch corrects above error with smallest changes to kernel source code and
also correct two return value check missing bugs in drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/cm.c

Because we do not have any locks for dst_entry, we cannot change
essential structure in the entry; e.g., we cannot change reference
to other entity.

To fix this issue, split 'from' and 'expires' field in dst_entry
out of union.  Once it is 'from' is assigned in the constructor,
keep the reference until the very last stage of the life time of
the object.

Of course, it is unsafe to change 'from', so make rt6_set_from simple
just for fresh entries.

a0073fe18e xfrm: Add a state resolution packet queue
As the default, we blackhole packets until the key manager resolves
the states. This patch implements a packet queue where IPsec packets
are queued until the states are resolved. We generate a dummy xfrm
bundle, the output routine of the returned route enqueues the packet
to a per policy queue and arms a timer that checks for state resolution
when dst_output() is called. Once the states are resolved, the packets
are sent out of the queue. If the states are not resolved after some
time, the queue is flushed.

This patch keeps the defaut behaviour to blackhole packets as long
as we have no states. To enable the packet queue the sysctl
xfrm_larval_drop must be switched off.

a37e6e3449 net: force dst_default_metrics to const section
While investigating on network performance problems, I found this little
gem :

$ nm -v vmlinux | grep -1 dst_default_metrics
ffffffff82736540 b busy.46605
ffffffff82736560 B dst_default_metrics
ffffffff82736598 b dst_busy_list

Apparently, declaring a const array without initializer put it in
(writeable) bss section, in middle of possibly often dirtied cache
lines.

Since we really want dst_default_metrics be const to avoid any possible
false sharing and catch any buggy writes, I force a null initializer.

0c1833797a ipv6: fix incorrect ipsec fragment
Since commit ad0081e43a
"ipv6: Fragment locally generated tunnel-mode IPSec6 packets as needed"
the fragment of packets is incorrect.
because tunnel mode needs IPsec headers and trailer for all fragments,
while on transport mode it is sufficient to add the headers to the
first fragment and the trailer to the last.

so modify mtu and maxfraglen base on ipsec mode and if fragment is first
or last.

with my test,it work well(every fragment's size is the mtu)
and does not trigger slow fragment path.

Changes from v1:
	though optimization, mtu_prev and maxfraglen_prev can be delete.
	replace xfrm mode codes with dst_entry's new frag DST_XFRM_TUNNEL.
	add fuction ip6_append_data_mtu to make codes clearer.

1716a96101 ipv6: fix problem with expired dst cache
If the ipv6 dst cache which copy from the dst generated by ICMPV6 RA packet.
this dst cache will not check expire because it has no RTF_EXPIRES flag.
So this dst cache will always be used until the dst gc run.

Change the struct dst_entry,add a union contains new pointer from and expires.
When rt6_info.rt6i_flags has no RTF_EXPIRES flag,the dst.expires has no use.
we can use this field to point to where the dst cache copy from.
The dst.from is only used in IPV6.

rt6_check_expired check if rt6_info.dst.from is expired.

ip6_rt_copy only set dst.from when the ort has flag RTF_ADDRCONF
and RTF_DEFAULT.then hold the ort.

ip6_dst_destroy release the ort.

Add some functions to operate the RTF_EXPIRES flag and expires(from) together.
and change the code to use these new adding functions.

Changes from v5:
modify ip6_route_add and ndisc_router_discovery to use new adding functions.

Only set dst.from when the ort has flag RTF_ADDRCONF
and RTF_DEFAULT.then hold the ort.

This is caused by bridge netfilter special dst_entry (fake_rtable), a
special shared entry, where attaching an inetpeer makes no sense.

Problem is present since commit 87c48fa3b4 (ipv6: make fragment
identifications less predictable)

Introduce DST_NOPEER dst flag and make sure ipv6_select_ident() and
__ip_select_ident() fallback to the 'no peer attached' handling.

Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir().

It appears commit f39925dbde (ipv4: Cache learned redirect
information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr
dereference.

Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can
safely use a neighbour.

Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir()
can be called safely by different cpus in parallel.

As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch
should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects)

957c665f37 ipv6: Don't put artificial limit on routing table size.
IPV6, unlike IPV4, doesn't have a routing cache.

Routing table entries, as well as clones made in response
to route lookup requests, all live in the same table.  And
all of these things are together collected in the destination
cache table for ipv6.

This means that routing table entries count against the garbage
collection limits, even though such entries cannot ever be reclaimed
and are added explicitly by the administrator (rather than being
created in response to lookups).

Therefore it makes no sense to count ipv6 routing table entries
against the GC limits.

Add a DST_NOCOUNT destination cache entry flag, and skip the counting
if it is set.  Use this flag bit in ipv6 when adding routing table
entries.

If reintroduced, it should be done properly, with dynamic debug
facilities.

2a9e950701 net: Remove __KERNEL__ cpp checks from include/net
These header files are never installed to user consumption, so any
__KERNEL__ cpp checks are superfluous.

Projects should also not copy these files into their userland utility
sources and try to use them there.  If they insist on doing so, the
onus is on them to sanitize the headers as needed.

92d8682926 inetpeer: Move ICMP rate limiting state into inet_peer entries.
Like metrics, the ICMP rate limiting bits are cached state about
a destination.  So move it into the inet_peer entries.

If an inet_peer cannot be bound (the reason is memory allocation
failure or similar), the policy is to allow.

62fa8a846d net: Implement read-only protection and COW'ing of metrics.
Routing metrics are now copy-on-write.

Initially a route entry points it's metrics at a read-only location.
If a routing table entry exists, it will point there.  Else it will
point at the all zero metric place-holder called 'dst_default_metrics'.

The writeability state of the metrics is stored in the low bits of the
metrics pointer, we have two bits left to spare if we want to store
more states.

For the initial implementation, COW is implemented simply via kmalloc.
However future enhancements will change this to place the writable
metrics somewhere else, in order to increase sharing.  Very likely
this "somewhere else" will be the inetpeer cache.

Note also that this means that metrics updates may transiently fail
if we cannot COW the metrics successfully.

But even by itself, this patch should decrease memory usage and
increase cache locality especially for routing workloads.  In those
cases the read-only metric copies stay in place and never get written
to.

TCP workloads where metrics get updated, and those rare cases where
PMTU triggers occur, will take a very slight performance hit.  But
that hit will be alleviated when the long-term writable metrics
move to a more sharable location.

Since the metrics storage went from a u32 array of RTAX_MAX entries to
what is essentially a pointer, some retooling of the dst_entry layout
was necessary.

Most importantly, we need to preserve the alignment of the reference
count so that it doesn't share cache lines with the read-mostly state,
as per Eric Dumazet's alignment assertion checks.

The only non-trivial bit here is the move of the 'flags' member into
the writeable cacheline.  This is OK since we are always accessing the
flags around the same moment when we made a modification to the
reference count.

c7066f70d9 netfilter: fix Kconfig dependencies
Fix dependencies of netfilter realm match: it depends on NET_CLS_ROUTE,
which itself depends on NET_SCHED; this dependency is missing from netfilter.

Since matching on realms is also useful without having NET_SCHED enabled and
the option really only controls whether the tclassid member is included in
route and dst entries, rename the config option to IP_ROUTE_CLASSID and move
it outside of traffic scheduling context to get rid of the NET_SCHED dependeny.

d33e455337 net: Abstract default MTU metric calculation behind an accessor.
Like RTAX_ADVMSS, make the default calculation go through a dst_ops
method rather than caching the computation in the routing cache
entries.

Now dst metrics are pretty much left as-is when new entries are
created, thus optimizing metric sharing becomes a real possibility.
