62e9c117ee mac802154: llsec: fold useless return value check
llsec_do_encrypt will never return a positive value, so the restriction
to 0-or-negative on return is useless.

da08143b85 vlan: more careful checksum features handling
When combining real_dev's features and vlan_features, simple
bitwise AND is used. This doesn't work well for checksum
offloading features as if one set has NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and the
other NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and/or NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM, we end up with
no checksum offloading. However, from the logical point of view
(how can_checksum_protocol() works), NETIF_F_HW_CSUM contains
the functionality of NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM so
that the result should be IP/IPV6.

Add helper function netdev_intersect_features() implementing
this logic and use it in vlan_dev_fix_features().

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

The following patchset contains Netfilter/nftables updates for net-next,
most relevantly they are:

1) Add set element update notification via netlink, from Arturo Borrero.

2) Put all object updates in one single message batch that is sent to
   kernel-space. Before this patch only rules where included in the batch.
   This series also introduces the generic transaction infrastructure so
   updates to all objects (tables, chains, rules and sets) are applied in
   an all-or-nothing fashion, these series from me.

3) Defer release of objects via call_rcu to reduce the time required to
   commit changes. The assumption is that all objects are destroyed in
   reverse order to ensure that dependencies betweem them are fulfilled
   (ie. rules and sets are destroyed first, then chains, and finally
   tables).

4) Allow to match by bridge port name, from Tomasz Bursztyka. This series
   include two patches to prepare this new feature.

5) Implement the proper set selection based on the characteristics of the
   data. The new infrastructure also allows you to specify your preferences
   in terms of memory and computational complexity so the underlying set
   type is also selected according to your needs, from Patrick McHardy.

6) Several cleanup patches for nft expressions, including one minor possible
   compilation breakage due to missing mark support, also from Patrick.

ca8a226343 tcp: make cwnd-limited checks measurement-based, and gentler
Experience with the recent e114a710aa ("tcp: fix cwnd limited
checking to improve congestion control") has shown that there are
common cases where that commit can cause cwnd to be much larger than
necessary. This leads to TSO autosizing cooking skbs that are too
large, among other things.

The main problems seemed to be:

(1) That commit attempted to predict the future behavior of the
connection by looking at the write queue (if TSO or TSQ limit
sending). That prediction sometimes overestimated future outstanding
packets.

(2) That commit always allowed cwnd to grow to twice the number of
outstanding packets (even in congestion avoidance, where this is not
needed).

This commit improves both of these, by:

(1) Switching to a measurement-based approach where we explicitly
track the largest number of packets in flight during the past window
("max_packets_out"), and remember whether we were cwnd-limited at the
moment we finished sending that flight.

(2) Only allowing cwnd to grow to twice the number of outstanding
packets ("max_packets_out") in slow start. In congestion avoidance
mode we now only allow cwnd to grow if it was fully utilized.

5fe821a9de net: filter: cleanup invocation of internal BPF
Kernel API for classic BPF socket filters is:

sk_unattached_filter_create() - validate classic BPF, convert, JIT
SK_RUN_FILTER() - run it
sk_unattached_filter_destroy() - destroy socket filter

Cleanup internal BPF kernel API as following:

sk_filter_select_runtime() - final step of internal BPF creation.
  Try to JIT internal BPF program, if JIT is not available select interpreter
SK_RUN_FILTER() - run it
sk_filter_free() - free internal BPF program

Disallow direct calls to BPF interpreter. Execution of the BPF program should
be done with SK_RUN_FILTER() macro.

Example of internal BPF create, run, destroy:

  struct sk_filter *fp;

  fp = kzalloc(sk_filter_size(prog_len), GFP_KERNEL);
  memcpy(fp->insni, prog, prog_len * sizeof(fp->insni[0]));
  fp->len = prog_len;

  sk_filter_select_runtime(fp);

  SK_RUN_FILTER(fp, ctx);

  sk_filter_free(fp);

Sockets, seccomp, testsuite, tracing are using different ways to populate
sk_filter, so first steps of program creation are not common.

958bee14d0 netfilter: nf_tables: use new transaction infrastructure to handle sets
This patch reworks the nf_tables API so set updates are included in
the same batch that contains rule updates. This speeds up rule-set
updates since we skip a dialog of four messages between kernel and
user-space (two on each direction), from:

 1) create the set and send netlink message to the kernel
 2) process the response from the kernel that contains the allocated name.
 3) add the set elements and send netlink message to the kernel.
 4) process the response from the kernel (to check for errors).

To:

 1) add the set to the batch.
 2) add the set elements to the batch.
 3) add the rule that points to the set.
 4) send batch to the kernel.

This also introduces an internal set ID (NFTA_SET_ID) that is unique
in the batch so set elements and rules can refer to new sets.

Backward compatibility has been only retained in userspace, this
means that new nft versions can talk to the kernel both in the new
and the old fashion.

f0f77dc6be ieee802154, mac802154: implement devkey record option
The 802.15.4-2011 standard states that for each key, a list of devices
that use this key shall be kept. Previous patches have only considered
two options:

 * a device "uses" (or may use) all keys, rendering the list useless
 * a device is restricted to a certain set of keys

Another option would be that a device *may* use all keys, but need not
do so, and we are interested in the actual set of keys the device uses.
Recording keys used by any given device may have a noticable performance
impact and might not be needed as often. The common case, in which a
device will not switch keys too often, should still perform well.

3e9c156e2c ieee802154: add netlink interfaces for llsec
This patch adds user-visible interfaces for the llsec infrastructure.
For the added methods, the only major difference between all add/remove
implementation lies in how the specific object is parsed, and for dump
requests, how objects are written into netlink messages.

To save on boilerplate code, table dumps are routed through a helper
function that handles netlink dump state, leaving the actual dumping
code to care only about iterating over the table to be dumped and
filling netlink messages. For add/remove methods, the boilerplate
required to work is not quite as large, but still enough to also move
into a local helper.

5d637d5aab mac802154: add llsec structures and mutators
This patch adds containers and mutators for the major ieee802154_llsec
structures to mac802154. Most of the (rather simple) ieee802154_llsec
structs are wrapped only to provide an rcu_head for orderly disposal,
but some structs - llsec keys notably - require more complex
bookkeeping.

Since each llsec key may be referenced by a number of llsec key table
entries (with differing key ids, but the same actual key), we want to
save memory and not allocate crypto transforms for each entry in the
table. Thus, the mac802154 llsec key is reference-counted instead.
Further, each key will have four associated crypto transforms - three
CCM transforms for the authsizes 4/8/16 and one CTR transform for
unauthenticated encryption. If we had a CCM* transform that allowed
authsize 0, and authsize as part of requests instead of transforms, this
would not be necessary.

In these environments, the administrator can statically configure known
addresses in the bridge FDB and disable flooding and learning on ports.
This makes it possible to turn off promiscuous mode on the interfaces
connected to the bridge.

Here is why disabling flooding and learning allows us to control
promiscuity:
 Consider port X.  All traffic coming into this port from outside the
bridge (ingress) will be either forwarded through other ports of the
bridge (egress) or dropped.  Forwarding (egress) is defined by FDB
entries and by flooding in the event that no FDB entry exists.
In the event that flooding is disabled, only FDB entries define
the egress.  Once learning is disabled, only static FDB entries
provided by a management entity define the egress.  If we provide
information from these static FDBs to the ingress port X, then we'll
be able to accept all traffic that can be successfully forwarded and
drop all the other traffic sooner without spending CPU cycles to
process it.
 Another way to define the above is as following equations:
    ingress = egress + drop
 expanding egress
    ingress = static FDB + learned FDB + flooding + drop
 disabling flooding and learning we a left with
    ingress = static FDB + drop

By adding addresses from the static FDB entries to the MAC address
filter of an ingress port X, we fully define what the bridge can
process without dropping and can thus turn off promiscuous mode,
thus dropping packets sooner.

There have been suggestions that we may want to allow learning
and update the filters with learned addresses as well.  This
would require mac-level authentication similar to 802.1x to
prevent attacks against the hw filters as they are limited
resource.

Additionally, if the user places the bridge device in promiscuous mode,
all ports are placed in promiscuous mode regardless of the changes
to flooding and learning.

Since the above functionality depends on full static configuration,
we have also require that vlan filtering be enabled to take
advantage of this.  The reason is that the bridge has to be
able to receive and process VLAN-tagged frames and the there
are only 2 ways to accomplish this right now: promiscuous mode
or vlan filtering.

145beee8d6 bridge: Add addresses from static fdbs to non-promisc ports
When a static fdb entry is created, add the mac address
from this fdb entry to any ports that are currently running
in non-promiscuous mode.  These ports need this data so that
they can receive traffic destined to these addresses.
By default ports start in promiscuous mode, so this feature
is disabled.

f3a6ddf152 bridge: Introduce BR_PROMISC flag
Introduce a BR_PROMISC per-port flag that will help us track if the
current port is supposed to be in promiscuous mode or not.  For now,
always start in promiscuous mode.

8db24af71b bridge: Add functionality to sync static fdb entries to hw
Add code that allows static fdb entires to be synced to the
hw list for a specified port.  This will be used later to
program ports that can function in non-promiscuous mode.

e028e4b8dc bridge: Keep track of ports capable of automatic discovery.
By default, ports on the bridge are capable of automatic
discovery of nodes located behind the port.  This is accomplished
via flooding of unknown traffic (BR_FLOOD) and learning the
mac addresses from these packets (BR_LEARNING).
If the above functionality is disabled by turning off these
flags, the port requires static configuration in the form
of static FDB entries to function properly.

This patch adds functionality to keep track of all ports
capable of automatic discovery.  This will later be used
to control promiscuity settings.
