9e50849054 netfilter: ipv6: move POSTROUTING invocation before fragmentation
Patrick McHardy notes: "We used to invoke IPv4 POST_ROUTING after
fragmentation as well just to defragment the packets in conntrack
immediately afterwards, but that got changed during the
netfilter-ipsec integration. Ideally IPv6 would behave like IPv4."

This patch makes it so. Sending an oversized frame (e.g. `ping6
-s64000 -c1 ::1`) will now show up in POSTROUTING as a single skb
rather than multiple ones.

14f3ad6f4a ipv6: Use 1280 as min MTU for ipv6 forwarding
Clients will set their MTU to 1280 if they receive a
ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG message with an MTU less than 1280.

To allow encapsulating of packets over a 1280 link
we should always accept packets with a size of 1280
for forwarding even if the path has a lower MTU and
fragment the encapsulated packets afterwards.

In case a forwarded packet is not going to be encapsulated
a ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG msg will still be send by ip6_fragment()
with the correct MTU.

7ad6848c7e ip: fix mc_loop checks for tunnels with multicast outer addresses
When we have L3 tunnels with different inner/outer families
(i.e. IPV4/IPV6) which use a multicast address as the outer tunnel
destination address, multicast packets will be loopbacked back to the
sending socket even if IP*_MULTICAST_LOOP is set to disabled.

The mc_loop flag is present in the family specific part of the socket
(e.g. the IPv4 or IPv4 specific part).  setsockopt sets the inner
family mc_loop flag. When the packet is pushed through the L3 tunnel
it will eventually be processed by the outer family which if different
will check the flag in a different part of the socket then it was set.

6ce9e7b5fe ip: Report qdisc packet drops
Christoph Lameter pointed out that packet drops at qdisc level where not
accounted in SNMP counters. Only if application sets IP_RECVERR, drops
are reported to user (-ENOBUFS errors) and SNMP counters updated.

IP_RECVERR is used to enable extended reliable error message passing,
but these are not needed to update system wide SNMP stats.

This patch changes things a bit to allow SNMP counters to be updated,
regardless of IP_RECVERR being set or not on the socket.

Example after an UDP tx flood
# netstat -s 
...
IP:
    1487048 outgoing packets dropped
...
Udp:
...
    SndbufErrors: 1487048


send() syscalls, do however still return an OK status, to not
break applications.

Note : send() manual page explicitly says for -ENOBUFS error :

 "The output queue for a network interface was full.
  This generally indicates that the interface has stopped sending,
  but may be caused by transient congestion.
  (Normally, this does not occur in Linux. Packets are just silently
  dropped when a device queue overflows.) "

This is not true for IP_RECVERR enabled sockets : a send() syscall
that hit a qdisc drop returns an ENOBUFS error.

Many thanks to Christoph, David, and last but not least, Alexey !

2b85a34e91 net: No more expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx
One of the problem with sock memory accounting is it uses
a pair of sock_hold()/sock_put() for each transmitted packet.

This slows down bidirectional flows because the receive path
also needs to take a refcount on socket and might use a different
cpu than transmit path or transmit completion path. So these
two atomic operations also trigger cache line bounces.

We can see this in tx or tx/rx workloads (media gateways for example),
where sock_wfree() can be in top five functions in profiles.

We use this sock_hold()/sock_put() so that sock freeing
is delayed until all tx packets are completed.

As we also update sk_wmem_alloc, we could offset sk_wmem_alloc
by one unit at init time, until sk_free() is called.
Once sk_free() is called, we atomic_dec_and_test(sk_wmem_alloc)
to decrement initial offset and atomicaly check if any packets
are in flight.

skb_set_owner_w() doesnt call sock_hold() anymore

sock_wfree() doesnt call sock_put() anymore, but check if sk_wmem_alloc
reached 0 to perform the final freeing.

Drawback is that a skb->truesize error could lead to unfreeable sockets, or
even worse, prematurely calling __sk_free() on a live socket.

Nice speedups on SMP. tbench for example, going from 2691 MB/s to 2711 MB/s
on my 8 cpu dev machine, even if tbench was not really hitting sk_refcnt
contention point. 5 % speedup on a UDP transmit workload (depends
on number of flows), lowering TX completion cpu usage.

77e2f14f71 ipv6: Fix ip6_xmit to send fragments if ipfragok is true
SCTP used ip6_xmit() to send fragments after received ICMP packet too
big message. But while send packet used ip6_xmit, the skb->local_df is
not initialized. So when skb if enter ip6_fragment(), the following
code will discard the skb.

ip6_fragment(...)
{
    if (!skb->local_df) {
        ...
        return -EMSGSIZE;
    }
    ...
}

SCTP do the following step:
1. send packet ip6_xmit(skb, ipfragok=0)
2. received ICMP packet too big message
3. if PMTUD_ENABLE: ip6_xmit(skb, ipfragok=1)

This patch fixed the problem by set local_df if ipfragok is true.

b5c15fc004 [IPV6]: Fix reversed local_df test in ip6_fragment
I managed to reverse the local_df test when forward-porting this
patch so it actually makes things worse by never fragmenting at
all.

Thanks to David Stevens for testing and reporting this bug.

Bill Fink pointed out that the local_df setting is also the wrong
way around.

28a89453b1 [IPV6]: Fix IPsec datagram fragmentation
This is a long-standing bug in the IPsec IPv6 code that breaks
when we emit a IPsec tunnel-mode datagram packet.  The problem
is that the code the emits the packet assumes the IPv6 stack
will fragment it later, but the IPv6 stack assumes that whoever
is emitting the packet is going to pre-fragment the packet.

In the long term we need to fix both sides, e.g., to get the
datagram code to pre-fragment as well as to get the IPv6 stack
to fragment locally generated tunnel-mode packet.

For now this patch does the second part which should make it
work for the IPsec host case.

4a19ec5800 [NET]: Introducing socket mark socket option.
A userspace program may wish to set the mark for each packets its send
without using the netfilter MARK target. Changing the mark can be used
for mark based routing without netfilter or for packet filtering.

It requires CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.
