commit 174e23810c
("sk_buff: drop all skb extensions on free and skb scrubbing") made napi
recycle always drop skb extensions. The additional skb_ext_del() that is
performed via nf_reset on napi skb recycle is not needed anymore.
Most nf_reset() calls in the stack are there so queued skb won't block
'rmmod nf_conntrack' indefinitely.
This removes the skb_ext_del from nf_reset, and renames it to a more
fitting nf_reset_ct().
In a few selected places, add a call to skb_ext_reset to make sure that
no active extensions remain.
I am submitting this for "net", because we're still early in the release
cycle. The patch applies to net-next too, but I think the rename causes
needless divergence between those trees.

- v1 -> v2: Move skb_set_owner_w to __tun_build_skb to reduce patch size
Small packets going out of a tap device go through an optimized code
path that uses build_skb() rather than sock_alloc_send_pskb(). The
latter calls skb_set_owner_w(), but the small packet code path does not.
The net effect is that small packets are not owned by the userland
application's socket (e.g. QEMU), while large packets are.
This can be seen with a TCP session, where packets are not owned when
the window size is small enough (around PAGE_SIZE), while they are once
the window grows (note that this requires the host to support virtio
tso for the guest to offload segmentation).
All this leads to inconsistent behaviour in the kernel, especially on
netfilter modules that uses sk->socket (e.g. xt_owner).

socket->wq is assign-once, set when we are initializing both
struct socket it's in and struct socket_wq it points to. As the
matter of fact, the only reason for separate allocation was the
ability to RCU-delay freeing of socket_wq. RCU-delaying the
freeing of socket itself gets rid of that need, so we can just
fold struct socket_wq into the end of struct socket and simplify
the life both for sock_alloc_inode() (one allocation instead of
two) and for tun/tap oddballs, where we used to embed struct socket
and struct socket_wq into the same structure (now - embedding just
the struct socket).
Note that reference to struct socket_wq in struct sock does remain
a reference - that's unchanged.

Currently after setting tap0 link up, the tun code wakes tx/rx waited
queues up in tun_net_open() when .ndo_open() is called, however the
IFF_UP flag has not been set yet. If there's already a wait queue, it
would fail to transmit when checking the IFF_UP flag in tun_sendmsg().
Then the saving vhost_poll_start() will add the wq into wqh until it
is waken up again. Although this works when IFF_UP flag has been set
when tun_chr_poll detects; this is not true if IFF_UP flag has not
been set at that time. Sadly the latter case is a fatal error, as
the wq will never be waken up in future unless later manually
setting link up on purpose.
Fix this by moving the wakeup process into the NETDEV_UP event
notifying process, this makes sure IFF_UP has been set before all
waited queues been waken up.

("vxlan: test dev->flags & IFF_UP before calling netif_rx()")
netif_rx_ni() or napi_gro_frags() must be called under a strict contract.
At device dismantle phase, core networking clears IFF_UP
and flush_all_backlogs() is called after rcu grace period
to make sure no incoming packet might be in a cpu backlog
and still referencing the device.
A similar protocol is used for gro layer.
Most drivers call netif_rx() from their interrupt handler,
and since the interrupts are disabled at device dismantle,
netif_rx() does not have to check dev->flags & IFF_UP
Virtual drivers do not have this guarantee, and must
therefore make the check themselves.

If the socket was created with socket(AF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, 0),

the resulting skb_transport_offset incorrect.
If, however, there is no transport header in the packet,
transport_header shouldn't be set to an arbitrary value.
Fix it by leaving the transport offset unset if it couldn't be found, to
be explicit rather than to fill it with some wrong value. It changes the

Several conflicts, seemingly all over the place.
I used Stephen Rothwell's sample resolutions for many of these, if not
just to double check my own work, so definitely the credit largely
goes to him.
The NFP conflict consisted of a bug fix (moving operations
past the rhashtable operation) while chaning the initial
argument in the function call in the moved code.
The net/dsa/master.c conflict had to do with a bug fix intermixing of
making dsa_master_set_mtu() static with the fixing of the tagging
attribute location.
cls_flower had a conflict because the dup reject fix from Or
overlapped with the addition of port range classifiction.
__set_phy_supported()'s conflict was relatively easy to resolve
because Andrew fixed it in both trees, so it was just a matter
of taking the net-next copy. Or at least I think it was :-)
Joe Stringer's fix to the handling of netns id 0 in bpf_sk_lookup()
intermixed with changes on how the sdif and caller_net are calculated
in these code paths in net-next.
The remaining BPF conflicts were largely about the addition of the
__bpf_md_ptr stuff in 'net' overlapping with adjustments and additions
to the relevant data structure where the MD pointer macros are used.

When writing packets to a descriptor associated with a combined queue, the
packets should end up on that queue.
Before this change all packets written to any descriptor associated with a
tap interface end up on rx-0, even when the descriptor is associated with a
different queue.
The rx traffic can be generated by either of the following.
1. a simple tap program which spins up multiple queues and writes packets
to each of the file descriptors
2. tx from a qemu vm with a tap multiqueue netdev
The queue for rx traffic can be observed by either of the following (done
on the hypervisor in the qemu case).
1. a simple netmap program which opens and reads from per-queue
descriptors
2. configuring RPS and doing per-cpu captures with rxtxcpu
Alternatively, if you printk() the return value of skb_get_rx_queue() just
before each instance of netif_receive_skb() in tun.c, you will get 65535
for every skb.
Calling skb_record_rx_queue() to set the rx queue to the queue_index fixes

As diagnosed by Song Liu, ndo_poll_controller() can
be very dangerous on loaded hosts, since the cpu
calling ndo_poll_controller() might steal all NAPI
contexts (for all RX/TX queues of the NIC). This capture
can last for unlimited amount of time, since one
cpu is generally not able to drain all the queues under load.
tun uses NAPI for TX completions, so we better let core
