ba4865027c ipv6: remove the unnecessary statement in find_match()
After reading the function rt6_check_neigh(), we can
know that the RT6_NUD_FAIL_SOFT can be returned only
when the IS_ENABLE(CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF) is false.
so in function find_match(), there is no need to execute
the statement !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF).

92b9ccd34a bgmac: pass received packet to the netif instead of copying it
Copying whole packets with skb_copy_from_linear_data_offset is a pretty
bad idea. CPU was spending time in __copy_user_common and network
performance was lower. With the new solution iperf-measured speed
increased from 116Mb/s to 134Mb/s.

3af390e2c5 tipc: remove two indentation levels in tipc_recv_msg routine
The message dispatching part of tipc_recv_msg() is wrapped layers of
while/if/if/switch, causing out-of-control indentation and does not
look very good. We reduce two indentation levels by separating the
message dispatching from the blocks that checks link state and
sequence numbers, allowing longer function and arg names to be
consistently indented without wrapping. Additionally we also rename
"cont" label to "discard" and add one new label called "unlock_discard"
to make code clearer. In all, these are cosmetic changes that do not
alter the operation of TIPC in any way.

c968601d17 tcp: temporarily disable Fast Open on SYN timeout
Fast Open currently has a fall back feature to address SYN-data being
dropped but it requires the middle-box to pass on regular SYN retry
after SYN-data. This is implemented in commit aab487435 ("net-tcp:
Fast Open client - detecting SYN-data drops")

However some NAT boxes will drop all subsequent packets after first
SYN-data and blackholes the entire connections.  An example is in
commit 356d7d8 "netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix tcp_in_window for Fast
Open".

The sender should note such incidents and fall back to use the regular
TCP handshake on subsequent attempts temporarily as well: after the
second SYN timeouts the original Fast Open SYN is most likely lost.
When such an event recurs Fast Open is disabled based on the number of
recurrences exponentially.

aa58d9813d Merge branch 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/net-next
Jeff Kirsher says:

====================
This series contains updates to vxlan, net, ixgbe, ixgbevf, and i40e.

Joseph provides a single patch against vxlan which removes the burden
from the NIC drivers to check if the vxlan driver is enabled in the
kernel and also makes available the vxlan headrooms to the drivers.

Jacob provides majority of the patches, with patches against net, ixgbe
and ixgbevf.  His net patch adds might_sleep() call to napi_disable so
that every use of napi_disable during atomic context will be visible.
Then Jacob provides a patch to fix qv_lock_napi call in
ixgbe_napi_disable_all.  The other ixgbe patches cleanup
ixgbe_check_minimum_link function to correctly show that there are some
minor loss of encoding, even though we don't calculate it and remove
unnecessary duplication of PCIe bandwidth display.  Lastly, Jacob
provides 4 patches against ixgbevf to add ixgbevf_rx_skb in line with
how ixgbe handles the variations on how packets can be received, adds
support in order to track how many packets were cleaned during busy poll
as part of the extended statistics.

Wei Yongjun provides a fix for i40e to return -ENOMEN in the memory
allocation error handling case instead of returning 0, as done
elsewhere in this function.

7d1d65cb84 net: sched: cls_bpf: add BPF-based classifier
This work contains a lightweight BPF-based traffic classifier that can
serve as a flexible alternative to ematch-based tree classification, i.e.
now that BPF filter engine can also be JITed in the kernel. Naturally, tc
actions and policies are supported as well with cls_bpf. Multiple BPF
programs/filter can be attached for a class, or they can just as well be
written within a single BPF program, that's really up to the user how he
wishes to run/optimize the code, e.g. also for inversion of verdicts etc.
The notion of a BPF program's return/exit codes is being kept as follows:

     0: No match
    -1: Select classid given in "tc filter ..." command
  else: flowid, overwrite the default one

As a minimal usage example with iproute2, we use a 3 band prio root qdisc
on a router with sfq each as leave, and assign ssh and icmp bpf-based
filters to band 1, http traffic to band 2 and the rest to band 3. For the
first two bands we load the bytecode from a file, in the 2nd we load it
inline as an example:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable

tc qdisc del dev em1 root
tc qdisc add dev em1 root handle 1: prio bands 3 priomap 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

tc qdisc add dev em1 parent 1:1 sfq perturb 16
tc qdisc add dev em1 parent 1:2 sfq perturb 16
tc qdisc add dev em1 parent 1:3 sfq perturb 16

tc filter add dev em1 parent 1: bpf run bytecode-file /etc/tc/ssh.bpf flowid 1:1
tc filter add dev em1 parent 1: bpf run bytecode-file /etc/tc/icmp.bpf flowid 1:1
tc filter add dev em1 parent 1: bpf run bytecode-file /etc/tc/http.bpf flowid 1:2
tc filter add dev em1 parent 1: bpf run bytecode "`bpfc -f tc -i misc.ops`" flowid 1:3

BPF programs can be easily created and passed to tc, either as inline
'bytecode' or 'bytecode-file'. There are a couple of front-ends that can
compile opcodes, for example:

1) People familiar with tcpdump-like filters:

   tcpdump -iem1 -ddd port 22 | tr '\n' ',' > /etc/tc/ssh.bpf

2) People that want to low-level program their filters or use BPF
   extensions that lack support by libpcap's compiler:

   bpfc -f tc -i ssh.ops > /etc/tc/ssh.bpf

   ssh.ops example code:
   ldh [12]
   jne #0x800, drop
   ldb [23]
   jneq #6, drop
   ldh [20]
   jset #0x1fff, drop
   ldxb 4 * ([14] & 0xf)
   ldh [%x + 14]
   jeq #0x16, pass
   ldh [%x + 16]
   jne #0x16, drop
   pass: ret #-1
   drop: ret #0

It was chosen to load bytecode into tc, since the reverse operation,
tc filter list dev em1, is then able to show the exact commands again.
Possible follow-up work could also include a small expression compiler
for iproute2. Tested with the help of bmon. This idea came up during
the Netfilter Workshop 2013 in Copenhagen. Also thanks to feedback from
Eric Dumazet!

27d9ce4fd0 ixgbe: fix qv_lock_napi call in ixgbe_napi_disable_all
ixgbe_napi_disable_all calls napi_disable on each queue, however the busy
polling code introduced a local_bh_disable()d context around the napi_disable.
The original author did not realize that napi_disable might sleep, which would
cause a sleep while atomic BUG. In addition, on a single processor system, the
ixgbe_qv_lock_napi loop shouldn't have to mdelay. This patch adds an
ixgbe_qv_disable along with a new IXGBE_QV_STATE_DISABLED bit, which it uses to
indicate to the poll and napi routines that the q_vector has been disabled. Now
the ixgbe_napi_disable_all function will wait until all pending work has been
finished and prevent any future work from being started.

daba287b29 ipv4: fix DO and PROBE pmtu mode regarding local fragmentation with UFO/CORK
UFO as well as UDP_CORK do not respect IP_PMTUDISC_DO and
IP_PMTUDISC_PROBE well enough.

UFO enabled packet delivery just appends all frags to the cork and hands
it over to the network card. So we just deliver non-DF udp fragments
(DF-flag may get overwritten by hardware or virtual UFO enabled
interface).

UDP_CORK does enqueue the data until the cork is disengaged. At this
point it sets the correct IP_DF and local_df flags and hands it over to
ip_fragment which in this case will generate an icmp error which gets
appended to the error socket queue. This is not reflected in the syscall
error (of course, if UFO is enabled this also won't happen).

Improve this by checking the pmtudisc flags before appending data to the
socket and if we still can fit all data in one packet when IP_PMTUDISC_DO
or IP_PMTUDISC_PROBE is set, only then proceed.

We use (mtu-fragheaderlen) to check for the maximum length because we
ensure not to generate a fragment and non-fragmented data does not need
to have its length aligned on 64 bit boundaries. Also the passed in
ip_options are already aligned correctly.

Maybe, we can relax some other checks around ip_fragment. This needs
more research.

2613af0ed1 virtio_net: migrate mergeable rx buffers to page frag allocators
The virtio_net driver's mergeable receive buffer allocator
uses 4KB packet buffers. For MTU-sized traffic, SKB truesize
is > 4KB but only ~1500 bytes of the buffer is used to store
packet data, reducing the effective TCP window size
substantially. This patch addresses the performance concerns
with mergeable receive buffers by allocating MTU-sized packet
buffers using page frag allocators. If more than MAX_SKB_FRAGS
buffers are needed, the SKB frag_list is used.

5d9efa7ee9 ipv6: Remove privacy config option.
The code for privacy extentions is very mature, and making it
configurable only gives marginal memory/code savings in exchange
for obfuscation and hard to read code via CPP ifdef'ery.

d5d45d4294 Merge branch '6lowpan'
Alexander Aring says:

====================
6lowpan: trivial changes

This patch series includes some trivial changes to prepare the 6lowpan stack
for upcomming patch-series which mainly fix fragmentation according to rfc4944
and udp handling(which is currently broken).

Changes since v3:
  - really fix intendation in patch 3/5

Changes since v2:
  - change intendation in patch 3/5
  - fix typo in 5/5 unecessary -> unnecessary
  - add missing 6lowpan tag in cover-letter
====================

b236b954de 6lowpan: remove skb->dev assignment
This patch removes the assignment of skb->dev. We don't need it here because
we use the netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align function which already sets the
skb->dev.

82d8189826 veth: extend features to support tunneling
While investigating on a recent vxlan regression, I found veth
was using a zero features set for vxlan tunnels.

We have to segment GSO frames, copy the payload, and do the checksum.

This patch brings a ~200% performance increase

We probably have to add hw_enc_features support
on other virtual devices.

8c3a897bfa inet: restore gso for vxlan
Alexei reported a performance regression on vxlan, caused
by commit 3347c96029 "ipv4: gso: make inet_gso_segment() stackable"

GSO vxlan packets were not properly segmented, adding IP fragments
while they were not expected.

Rename 'bool tunnel' to 'bool encap', and add a new boolean
to express the fact that UDP should be fragmented.
This fragmentation is triggered by skb->encapsulation being set.

Remove a "skb->encapsulation = 1" added in above commit,
as its not needed, as frags inherit skb->frag from original
GSO skb.
