Eric Dumazet 23f57406b8 ipv4: avoid using shared IP generator for connected sockets
ip_select_ident_segs() has been very conservative about using
the connected socket private generator only for packets with IP_DF
set, claiming it was needed for some VJ compression implementations.

As mentioned in this referenced document, this can be abused.
(Ref: Off-Path TCP Exploits of the Mixed IPID Assignment)

Before switching to pure random IPID generation and possibly hurt
some workloads, lets use the private inet socket generator.

Not only this will remove one vulnerability, this will also
improve performance of TCP flows using pmtudisc==IP_PMTUDISC_DONT

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
