Florian reported UDP xmit drops that could be root caused to the
too small neigh limit.
Current limit is 64 KB, meaning that even a single UDP socket would hit
it, since its default sk_sndbuf comes from net.core.wmem_default
(~212992 bytes on 64bit arches).
Once ARP/ND resolution is in progress, we should allow a little more
packets to be queued, at least for one producer.
Once neigh arp_queue is filled, a rogue socket should hit its sk_sndbuf
limit and either block in sendmsg() or return -EAGAIN.

Make these functions (skb_put, __skb_put and pskb_put) return void *

where the unsigned char pointer was used directly, all done with the
following spatch:

The command
# arp -s 62.2.0.1 a🅱️c:d:e:f dev eth2
adds an entry like the following (listed by "arp -an")
? (62.2.0.1) at 0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f [ether] PERM on eth2
but the symmetric deletion command
# arp -i eth2 -d 62.2.0.1
does not remove the PERM entry from the table, and instead leaves behind
? (62.2.0.1) at <incomplete> on eth2
The reason is that there is a refcnt of 1 for the arp_tbl itself
(neigh_alloc starts off the entry with a refcnt of 1), thus
the neigh_release() call from arp_invalidate() will (at best) just
decrement the ref to 1, but will never actually free it from the
table.
To fix this, we need to do something like neigh_forced_gc: if
the refcnt is 1 (i.e., on the table's ref), remove the entry from
the table and free it. This patch refactors and shares common code
between neigh_forced_gc and the newly added neigh_remove_one.
A similar issue exists for IPv6 Neighbor Cache entries, and is fixed
in a similar manner by this patch.

Currently, when arp_accept is 1, we always override existing neigh
entries with incoming gratuitous ARP replies. Otherwise, we override
them only if new replies satisfy _locktime_ conditional (packets arrive
not earlier than _locktime_ seconds since the last update to the neigh
entry).
The idea behind locktime is to pick the very first (=> close) reply
received in a unicast burst when ARP proxies are used. This helps to
avoid ARP thrashing where Linux would switch back and forth from one
proxy to another.
This logic has nothing to do with gratuitous ARP replies that are
generally not aligned in time when multiple IP address carriers send
them into network.
This patch enforces overriding of existing neigh entries by all incoming
gratuitous ARP packets, irrespective of their time of arrival. This will
make the kernel honour all incoming gratuitous ARP packets.

When arp_accept is 1, gratuitous ARPs are supposed to override matching
entries irrespective of whether they arrive during locktime. This was
implemented in commit 56022a8fdd ("ipv4: arp: update neighbour address
when a gratuitous arp is received and arp_accept is set")
There is a glitch in the patch though. RFC 2002, section 4.6, "ARP,
Proxy ARP, and Gratuitous ARP", defines gratuitous ARPs so that they can
be either of Request or Reply type. Those Reply gratuitous ARPs can be
triggered with standard tooling, for example, arping -A option does just
that.
This patch fixes the glitch, making both Request and Reply flavours of
gratuitous ARPs to behave identically.
As per RFC, if gratuitous ARPs are of Reply type, their Target Hardware
Address field should also be set to the link-layer address to which this
cache entry should be updated. The field is present in ARP over Ethernet
but not in IEEE 1394. In this patch, I don't consider any broadcasted
ARP replies as gratuitous if the field is not present, to conform the
standard. It's not clear whether there is such a thing for IEEE 1394 as
a gratuitous ARP reply; until it's cleared up, we will ignore such
broadcasts. Note that they will still update existing ARP cache entries,
assuming they arrive out of locktime time interval.

When sending ARP requests over AX.25 links the hwaddress in the neighbour
cache are not getting initialized. For such an incomplete arp entry
ax2asc2 will generate an empty string resulting in /proc/net/arp output
like the following:
$ cat /proc/net/arp
IP address HW type Flags HW address Mask Device
192.168.122.1 0x1 0x2 52:54:00:00:5d:5f * ens3
172.20.1.99 0x3 0x0 * bpq0
The missing field will confuse the procfs parsing of arp(8) resulting in
incorrect output for the device such as the following:
$ arp
Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface
gateway ether 52:54:00:00:5d:5f C ens3
172.20.1.99 (incomplete) ens3
This changes the content of /proc/net/arp to:
$ cat /proc/net/arp
IP address HW type Flags HW address Mask Device
172.20.1.99 0x3 0x0 * * bpq0
192.168.122.1 0x1 0x2 52:54:00:00:5d:5f * ens3
To do so it change ax2asc to put the string "*" in buf for a NULL address

When using ip lwtunnels, the additional data for xmit (basically, the actual
tunnel to use) are carried in ip_tunnel_info either in dst->lwtstate or in
metadata dst. When replying to ARP requests, we need to send the reply to
the same tunnel the request came from. This means we need to construct
proper metadata dst for ARP replies.
We could perform another route lookup to get a dst entry with the correct
lwtstate. However, this won't always ensure that the outgoing tunnel is the
same as the incoming one, and it won't work anyway for IPv4 duplicate
address detection.
The only thing to do is to "reverse" the ip_tunnel_info.

This is immediately motivated by the bridge code that chains functions that

need to guess about the best expression for the network namespace to process
packets in.
As net is frequently one of the first things computed in continuation functions
after netfilter has done it's job passing in the desired network namespace is in
many cases a code simplification.
To support this change the function dst_output_okfn is introduced to
simplify passing dst_output as an okfn. For the moment dst_output_okfn

Pass a network namespace parameter into the netfilter hooks. At the
call site of the netfilter hooks the path a packet is taking through
the network stack is well known which allows the network namespace to
be easily and reliabily.
This allows the replacement of magic code like
"dev_net(state->in?:state->out)" that appears at the start of most
netfilter hooks with "state->net".
In almost all cases the network namespace passed in is derived
from the first network device passed in, guaranteeing those
paths will not see any changes in practice.
The exceptions are:
xfrm/xfrm_output.c:xfrm_output_resume() xs_net(skb_dst(skb)->xfrm)
ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_nat_send_or_cont() ip_vs_conn_net(cp)

br_netfilter_hooks.c:br_nf_pre_routing_finish() dev_net(skb->dev) before skb->dev is set to nf_bridge->physindev

"dev_net(in?in:out)". I am documenting them in case something odd

On the output paths in particular, we have to sometimes deal with two
socket contexts. First, and usually skb->sk, is the local socket that
generated the frame.
And second, is potentially the socket used to control a tunneling
socket, such as one the encapsulates using UDP.
We do not want to disassociate skb->sk when encapsulating in order
to fix this, because that would break socket memory accounting.
The most extreme case where this can cause huge problems is an
AF_PACKET socket transmitting over a vxlan device. We hit code
paths doing checks that assume they are dealing with an ipv4

Gratuitous arp packets are useful in switchover scenarios to update
client arp tables as quickly as possible. Currently, the mac address
of a neighbour is only updated after a locktime period has elapsed
since the last update. In most use cases such delays are unacceptable
for network admins. Moreover, the "updated" field of the neighbour
stucture doesn't record the last time the address of a neighbour
changed but records any change that happens to the neighbour. This is
clearly a bug since locktime uses that field as meaning "addr_updated".
With this observation, I was able to perpetuate a stale address by
sending a stream of gratuitous arp packets spaced less than locktime
apart. With this change the address is updated when a gratuitous arp
is received and the arp_accept sysctl is set.

Note: As we have started ignoring sspd and max_rec in ARP/NDP, those
information will not be used in the driver when sending.
When a packet is being sent, the IP layer fills our pseudo header with
the extended "hardware address", including GUID and fifo. The driver
can look-up node-id (the real but rather volatile low-level address)
by GUID, and then the module can send the packet to the wire using
parameters provided in the extendedn hardware address.
This approach is realistic because IP over IEEE1394 (RFC2734) and IPv6
over IEEE1394 (RFC3146) share same "hardware address" format
in their address resolution protocols.
Here, extended "hardware address" is defined as follows:
union fwnet_hwaddr {
u8 u[16];
struct {
__be64 uniq_id; /* EUI-64 */
u8 max_rec; /* max packet size */
u8 sspd; /* max speed */
__be16 fifo_hi; /* hi 16bits of FIFO addr */
__be32 fifo_lo; /* lo 32bits of FIFO addr */
} __packed uc;
};
Note that Hardware address is declared as union, so that we can map full
IP address into this, when implementing MCAP (Multicast Cannel Allocation
Protocol) for IPv6, but IP and ARP subsystem do not need to know this
format in detail.
One difference between original ARP (RFC826) and 1394 ARP (RFC2734)
is that 1394 ARP Request/Reply do not contain the target hardware address
field (aka ar$tha). This difference is handled in the ARP subsystem.

proc_net_remove is only used to remove proc entries
that under /proc/net,it's not a general function for
removing proc entries of netns. if we want to remove
some proc entries which under /proc/net/stat/, we still
need to call remove_proc_entry.
this patch use remove_proc_entry to replace proc_net_remove.
we can remove proc_net_remove after this patch.

Right now, some modules such as bonding use proc_create
to create proc entries under /proc/net/, and other modules
such as ipv4 use proc_net_fops_create.
It looks a little chaos.this patch changes all of
proc_net_fops_create to proc_create. we can remove
proc_net_fops_create after this patch.

We should call skb_share_check() before pskb_may_pull(), or we
can crash in pskb_expand_head()
