5e34fa23ce net: Fix minor code bug in timestamping.txt
Passing (void*)val instead of &val would make a pointer out of an integer
and cause sock_setsockopt to -EFAULT.

See tools/testing/selftests/networking/timestamping/timestamping.c
for a working example.

e754eba685 rxrpc: Provide a cmsg to specify the amount of Tx data for a call
Provide a control message that can be specified on the first sendmsg() of a
client call or the first sendmsg() of a service response to indicate the
total length of the data to be transmitted for that call.

Currently, because the length of the payload of an encrypted DATA packet is
encrypted in front of the data, the packet cannot be encrypted until we
know how much data it will hold.

By specifying the length at the beginning of the transmit phase, each DATA
packet length can be set before we start loading data from userspace (where
several sendmsg() calls may contribute to a particular packet).

An error will be returned if too little or too much data is presented in
the Tx phase.

4e255721d1 rxrpc: Add service upgrade support for client connections
Make it possible for a client to use AuriStor's service upgrade facility.

The client does this by adding an RXRPC_UPGRADE_SERVICE control message to
the first sendmsg() of a call.  This takes no parameters.

When recvmsg() starts returning data from the call, the service ID field in
the returned msg_name will reflect the result of the upgrade attempt.  If
the upgrade was ignored, srx_service will match what was set in the
sendmsg(); if the upgrade happened the srx_service will be altered to
indicate the service the server upgraded to.

Note that:

 (1) The choice of upgrade service is up to the server

 (2) Further client calls to the same server that would share a connection
     are blocked if an upgrade probe is in progress.

 (3) This should only be used to probe the service.  Clients should then
     use the returned service ID in all subsequent communications with that
     server (and not set the upgrade).  Note that the kernel will not
     retain this information should the connection expire from its cache.

 (4) If a server that supports upgrading is replaced by one that doesn't,
     whilst a connection is live, and if the replacement is running, say,
     OpenAFS 1.6.4 or older or an older IBM AFS, then the replacement
     server will not respond to packets sent to the upgraded connection.

     At this point, calls will time out and the server must be reprobed.

4722974d90 rxrpc: Implement service upgrade
Implement AuriStor's service upgrade facility.  There are three problems
that this is meant to deal with:

 (1) Various of the standard AFS RPC calls have IPv4 addresses in their
     requests and/or replies - but there's no room for including IPv6
     addresses.

 (2) Definition of IPv6-specific RPC operations in the standard operation
     sets has not yet been achieved.

 (3) One could envision the creation a new service on the same port that as
     the original service.  The new service could implement improved
     operations - and the client could try this first, falling back to the
     original service if it's not there.

     Unfortunately, certain servers ignore packets addressed to a service
     they don't implement and don't respond in any way - not even with an
     ABORT.  This means that the client must then wait for the call timeout
     to occur.

What service upgrade does is to see if the connection is marked as being
'upgradeable' and if so, change the service ID in the server and thus the
request and reply formats.  Note that the upgrade isn't mandatory - a
server that supports only the original call set will ignore the upgrade
request.

In the protocol, the procedure is then as follows:

 (1) To request an upgrade, the first DATA packet in a new connection must
     have the userStatus set to 1 (this is normally 0).  The userStatus
     value is normally ignored by the server.

 (2) If the server doesn't support upgrading, the reply packets will
     contain the same service ID as for the first request packet.

 (3) If the server does support upgrading, all future reply packets on that
     connection will contain the new service ID and the new service ID will
     be applied to *all* further calls on that connection as well.

 (4) The RPC op used to probe the upgrade must take the same request data
     as the shadow call in the upgrade set (but may return a different
     reply).  GetCapability RPC ops were added to all standard sets for
     just this purpose.  Ops where the request formats differ cannot be
     used for probing.

 (5) The client must wait for completion of the probe before sending any
     further RPC ops to the same destination.  It should then use the
     service ID that recvmsg() reported back in all future calls.

 (6) The shadow service must have call definitions for all the operation
     IDs defined by the original service.


To support service upgrading, a server should:

 (1) Call bind() twice on its AF_RXRPC socket before calling listen().
     Each bind() should supply a different service ID, but the transport
     addresses must be the same.  This allows the server to receive
     requests with either service ID.

 (2) Enable automatic upgrading by calling setsockopt(), specifying
     RXRPC_UPGRADEABLE_SERVICE and passing in a two-member array of
     unsigned shorts as the argument:

	unsigned short optval[2];

     This specifies a pair of service IDs.  They must be different and must
     match the service IDs bound to the socket.  Member 0 is the service ID
     to upgrade from and member 1 is the service ID to upgrade to.

28036f4485 rxrpc: Permit multiple service binding
Permit bind() to be called on an AF_RXRPC socket more than once (currently
maximum twice) to bind multiple listening services to it.  There are some
restrictions:

 (1) All bind() calls involved must have a non-zero service ID.

 (2) The service IDs must all be different.

 (3) The rest of the address (notably the transport part) must be the same
     in all (a single UDP socket is shared).

 (4) This must be done before listen() or sendmsg() is called.

This allows someone to connect to the service socket with different service
IDs and lays the foundation for service upgrading.

The service ID used by an incoming call can be extracted from the msg_name
returned by recvmsg().

b50a5c70ff net: allow simultaneous SW and HW transmit timestamping
Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TX_SWHW option to allow an outgoing packet to
be looped to the socket's error queue with a software timestamp even
when a hardware transmit timestamp is expected to be provided by the
driver.

Applications using this option will receive two separate messages from
the error queue, one with a software timestamp and the other with a
hardware timestamp. As the hardware timestamp is saved to the shared skb
info, which may happen before the first message with software timestamp
is received by the application, the hardware timestamp is copied to the
SCM_TIMESTAMPING control message only when the skb has no software
timestamp or it is an incoming packet.

While changing sw_tx_timestamp(), inline it in skb_tx_timestamp() as
there are no other users.

aad9c8c470 net: add new control message for incoming HW-timestamped packets
Add SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_PKTINFO option to request a new control message
for incoming packets with hardware timestamps. It contains the index of
the real interface which received the packet and the length of the
packet at layer 2.

The index is useful with bonding, bridges and other interfaces, where
IP_PKTINFO doesn't allow applications to determine which PHC made the
timestamp. With the L2 length (and link speed) it is possible to
transpose preamble timestamps to trailer timestamps, which are used in
the NTP protocol.

While this information could be provided by two new socket options
independently from timestamping, it doesn't look like they would be very
useful. With this option any performance impact is limited to hardware
timestamping.

Use dev_get_by_napi_id() to get the device and its index. On kernels
with disabled CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL or drivers not using NAPI, a zero
index will be returned in the control message.

(or nothing, if this computation can be done by the hardware). Use it in
place of skb_checksum_help() in validate_xmit_skb() to avoid corruption
of non-GSO SCTP packets having skb->ip_summed equal to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL.

While at it, remove references to skb_csum_off_chk* functions, since they

under Documentation/security, after both this series and
a security Documentation patch series gets merged.

It also adjusts some Sphinx-pedantic errors/warnings on

cf1ef3f071 net/tcp_fastopen: Disable active side TFO in certain scenarios
Middlebox firewall issues can potentially cause server's data being
blackholed after a successful 3WHS using TFO. Following are the related
reports from Apple:
https://www.nanog.org/sites/default/files/Paasch_Network_Support.pdf
Slide 31 identifies an issue where the client ACK to the server's data
sent during a TFO'd handshake is dropped.
C ---> syn-data ---> S
C <--- syn/ack ----- S
C (accept & write)
C <---- data ------- S
C ----- ACK -> X     S
		[retry and timeout]

https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/94/slides/slides-94-tcpm-13.pdf
Slide 5 shows a similar situation that the server's data gets dropped
after 3WHS.
C ---- syn-data ---> S
C <--- syn/ack ----- S
C ---- ack --------> S
S (accept & write)
C?  X <- data ------ S
		[retry and timeout]

This is the worst failure b/c the client can not detect such behavior to
mitigate the situation (such as disabling TFO). Failing to proceed, the
application (e.g., SSL library) may simply timeout and retry with TFO
again, and the process repeats indefinitely.

The proposed solution is to disable active TFO globally under the
following circumstances:
1. client side TFO socket detects out of order FIN
2. client side TFO socket receives out of order RST

We disable active side TFO globally for 1hr at first. Then if it
happens again, we disable it for 2h, then 4h, 8h, ...
And we reset the timeout to 1hr if a client side TFO sockets not opened
on loopback has successfully received data segs from server.
And we examine this condition during close().

The rational behind it is that when such firewall issue happens,
application running on the client should eventually close the socket as
it is not able to get the data it is expecting. Or application running
on the server should close the socket as it is not able to receive any
response from client.
In both cases, out of order FIN or RST will get received on the client
given that the firewall will not block them as no data are in those
frames.
And we want to disable active TFO globally as it helps if the middle box
is very close to the client and most of the connections are likely to
fail.

Also, add a debug sysctl:
  tcp_fastopen_blackhole_detect_timeout_sec:
    the initial timeout to use when firewall blackhole issue happens.
    This can be set and read.
    When setting it to 0, it means to disable the active disable logic.

40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-03-23

This series contains updates to i40e and i40e.txt documentation.

Jake provides all the changes in the series which are centered around
ntuple filter fixes and additional support.  Fixed the current
implementation of .set_rxnfc, where we were not reading the mask field
for filter entries which was resulting in filters not behaving as
expected and not working correctly.  When cleaning up after disabling
flow director support, ensure that the default input set is correctly
reprogrammed.  Since the hardware only supports a single input set for
all flows of that type, the driver shall only allow the input set to
change if there are no other configured filters for that flow type, so
add support to detect when we can update the input set for each flow
type.  Align the driver to other drivers to partition the ring_cookie
value into 8bits of VF index, along with 32bits of queue number instead
of using the user-def field.  Added support to parse the user-def field
into a data structure format to allow future extensions of the user-def
filed by keeping all the code that read/writes the field into a single
location.  Added support for flexible payloads passed via ethtool
user-def field.  We support a single flexible word (2byte) value per
protocol type, and we handle the FLX_PIT register using a list of
flexible entries so that each flow type may be configured separately.
Enabled flow director filters for SCTPv4 packets using the ethtool
ntuple interface to enable filters.  Updated the documentation on the
i40e driver to include the newly added support to ntuple filters.
Reduced complexity of a if-continue-else-break section of code by
taking advantage of using hlist_for_each_entry_continue() instead.

dddb64bcb3 net: Add sysctl to toggle early demux for tcp and udp
Certain system process significant unconnected UDP workload.
It would be preferrable to disable UDP early demux for those systems
and enable it for TCP only.

By disabling UDP demux, we see these slight gains on an ARM64 system-
782 -> 788Mbps unconnected single stream UDPv4
633 -> 654Mbps unconnected UDPv4 different sources

The performance impact can change based on CPU architecure and cache
sizes. There will not much difference seen if entire UDP hash table
is in cache.

Both sysctls are enabled by default to preserve existing behavior.

v1->v2: Change function pointer instead of adding conditional as
suggested by Stephen.

v2->v3: Read once in callers to avoid issues due to compiler
optimizations. Also update commit message with the tests.

v3->v4: Store and use read once result instead of querying pointer
again incorrectly.

v4->v5: Refactor to avoid errors due to compilation with IPV6={m,n}

bbea124bc9 net: ipv6: Add sysctl for minimum prefix len acceptable in RIOs.
This commit adds a new sysctl accept_ra_rt_info_min_plen that
defines the minimum acceptable prefix length of Route Information
Options. The new sysctl is intended to be used together with
accept_ra_rt_info_max_plen to configure a range of acceptable
prefix lengths. It is useful to prevent misconfigurations from
unintentionally blackholing too much of the IPv6 address space
(e.g., home routers announcing RIOs for fc00::/7, which is
incorrect).

bf4e0a3db9 net: ipv4: add support for ECMP hash policy choice
This patch adds support for ECMP hash policy choice via a new sysctl
called fib_multipath_hash_policy and also adds support for L4 hashes.
The current values for fib_multipath_hash_policy are:
 0 - layer 3 (default)
 1 - layer 4
If there's an skb hash already set and it matches the chosen policy then it
will be used instead of being calculated (currently only for L4).
In L3 mode we always calculate the hash due to the ICMP error special
case, the flow dissector's field consistentification should handle the
address order thus we can remove the address reversals.
If the skb is provided we always use it for the hash calculation,
otherwise we fallback to fl4, that is if skb is NULL fl4 has to be set.

4396e46187 tcp: remove tcp_tw_recycle
The tcp_tw_recycle was already broken for connections
behind NAT, since the per-destination timestamp is not
monotonically increasing for multiple machines behind
a single destination address.

After the randomization of TCP timestamp offsets
in commit 8a5bd45f6616 (tcp: randomize tcp timestamp offsets
for each connection), the tcp_tw_recycle is broken for all
types of connections for the same reason: the timestamps
received from a single machine is not monotonically increasing,
anymore.

Remove tcp_tw_recycle, since it is not functional. Also, remove
the PAWSPassive SNMP counter since it is only used for
tcp_tw_recycle, and simplify tcp_v4_route_req and tcp_v6_route_req
since the strict argument is only set when tcp_tw_recycle is
enabled.

a59166e470 mpls: allow TTL propagation from IP packets to be configured
Allow TTL propagation from IP packets to MPLS packets to be
configured. Add a new optional LWT attribute, MPLS_IPTUNNEL_TTL, which
allows the TTL to be set in the resulting MPLS packet, with the value
of 0 having the semantics of enabling propagation of the TTL from the
IP header (i.e. non-zero values disable propagation).

Also allow the configuration to be overridden globally by reusing the
same sysctl to control whether the TTL is propagated from IP packets
into the MPLS header. If the per-LWT attribute is set then it
overrides the global configuration. If the TTL isn't propagated then a
default TTL value is used which can be configured via a new sysctl,
"net.mpls.default_ttl". This is kept separate from the configuration
of whether IP TTL propagation is enabled as it can be used in the
future when non-IP payloads are supported (i.e. where there is no
payload TTL that can be propagated).

5b441ac878 mpls: allow TTL propagation to IP packets to be configured
Provide the ability to control on a per-route basis whether the TTL
value from an MPLS packet is propagated to an IPv4/IPv6 packet when
the last label is popped as per the theoretical model in RFC 3443
through a new route attribute, RTA_TTL_PROPAGATE which can be 0 to
mean disable propagation and 1 to mean enable propagation.

In order to provide the ability to change the behaviour for packets
arriving with IPv4/IPv6 Explicit Null labels and to provide an easy
way for a user to change the behaviour for all existing routes without
having to reprogram them, a global knob is provided. This is done
through the addition of a new per-namespace sysctl,
"net.mpls.ip_ttl_propagate", which defaults to enabled. If the
per-route attribute is set (either enabled or disabled) then it
overrides the global configuration.
