7268586baa tcp: pause Fast Open globally after third consecutive timeout
Prior to this patch, active Fast Open is paused on a specific
destination IP address if the previous connections to the
IP address have experienced recurring timeouts . But recent
experiments by Microsoft (https://goo.gl/cykmn7) and Mozilla
browsers indicate the isssue is often caused by broken middle-boxes
sitting close to the client. Therefore it is much better user
experience if Fast Open is disabled out-right globally to avoid
experiencing further timeouts on connections toward other
destinations.

This patch changes the destination-IP disablement to global
disablement if a connection experiencing recurring timeouts
or aborts due to timeout.  Repeated incidents would still
exponentially increase the pause time, starting from an hour.
This is extremely conservative but an unfortunate compromise to
minimize bad experience due to broken middle-boxes.

2210d6b2f2 net: ipv6: sysctl to specify IPv6 ND traffic class
Add a per-device sysctl to specify the default traffic class to use for
kernel originated IPv6 Neighbour Discovery packets.

Currently this includes:

  - Router Solicitation (ICMPv6 type 133)
    ndisc_send_rs() -> ndisc_send_skb() -> ip6_nd_hdr()

  - Neighbour Solicitation (ICMPv6 type 135)
    ndisc_send_ns() -> ndisc_send_skb() -> ip6_nd_hdr()

  - Neighbour Advertisement (ICMPv6 type 136)
    ndisc_send_na() -> ndisc_send_skb() -> ip6_nd_hdr()

  - Redirect (ICMPv6 type 137)
    ndisc_send_redirect() -> ndisc_send_skb() -> ip6_nd_hdr()

and if the kernel ever gets around to generating RA's,
it would presumably also include:

  - Router Advertisement (ICMPv6 type 134)
    (radvd daemon could pick up on the kernel setting and use it)

Interface drivers may examine the Traffic Class value and translate
the DiffServ Code Point into a link-layer appropriate traffic
prioritization scheme.  An example of mapping IETF DSCP values to
IEEE 802.11 User Priority values can be found here:

    https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tsvwg-ieee-802-11

The expected primary use case is to properly prioritize ND over wifi.

1f2556916d tcp: higher throughput under reordering with adaptive RACK reordering wnd
Currently TCP RACK loss detection does not work well if packets are
being reordered beyond its static reordering window (min_rtt/4).Under
such reordering it may falsely trigger loss recoveries and reduce TCP
throughput significantly.

This patch improves that by increasing and reducing the reordering
window based on DSACK, which is now supported in major TCP implementations.
It makes RACK's reo_wnd adaptive based on DSACK and no. of recoveries.

- If DSACK is received, increment reo_wnd by min_rtt/4 (upper bounded
  by srtt), since there is possibility that spurious retransmission was
  due to reordering delay longer than reo_wnd.

- Persist the current reo_wnd value for TCP_RACK_RECOVERY_THRESH (16)
  no. of successful recoveries (accounts for full DSACK-based loss
  recovery undo). After that, reset it to default (min_rtt/4).

- At max, reo_wnd is incremented only once per rtt. So that the new
  DSACK on which we are reacting, is due to the spurious retx (approx)
  after the reo_wnd has been updated last time.

- reo_wnd is tracked in terms of steps (of min_rtt/4), rather than
  absolute value to account for change in rtt.

In our internal testing, we observed significant increase in throughput,
in scenarios where reordering exceeds min_rtt/4 (previous static value).

47d3d7ac65 ipv6: Implement limits on Hop-by-Hop and Destination options
RFC 8200 (IPv6) defines Hop-by-Hop options and Destination options
extension headers. Both of these carry a list of TLVs which is
only limited by the maximum length of the extension header (2048
bytes). By the spec a host must process all the TLVs in these
options, however these could be used as a fairly obvious
denial of service attack. I think this could in fact be
a significant DOS vector on the Internet, one mitigating
factor might be that many FWs drop all packets with EH (and
obviously this is only IPv6) so an Internet wide attack might not
be so effective (yet!).

By my calculation, the worse case packet with TLVs in a standard
1500 byte MTU packet that would be processed by the stack contains
1282 invidual TLVs (including pad TLVS) or 724 two byte TLVs. I
wrote a quick test program that floods a whole bunch of these
packets to a host and sure enough there is substantial time spent
in ip6_parse_tlv. These packets contain nothing but unknown TLVS
(that are ignored), TLV padding, and bogus UDP header with zero
payload length.

  25.38%  [kernel]                    [k] __fib6_clean_all
  21.63%  [kernel]                    [k] ip6_parse_tlv
   4.21%  [kernel]                    [k] __local_bh_enable_ip
   2.18%  [kernel]                    [k] ip6_pol_route.isra.39

   1.65%  [kernel]                    [k] dst_release

This patch adds configurable limits to Destination and Hop-by-Hop
options. There are three limits that may be set:
  - Limit the number of options in a Hop-by-Hop or Destination options
    extension header.
  - Limit the byte length of a Hop-by-Hop or Destination options
    extension header.
  - Disallow unrecognized options in a Hop-by-Hop or Destination
    options extension header.

The limits are set in corresponding sysctls:

  ipv6.sysctl.max_dst_opts_cnt
  ipv6.sysctl.max_hbh_opts_cnt
  ipv6.sysctl.max_dst_opts_len
  ipv6.sysctl.max_hbh_opts_len

If a max_*_opts_cnt is less than zero then unknown TLVs are disallowed.
The number of known TLVs that are allowed is the absolute value of
this number.

If a limit is exceeded when processing an extension header the packet is
dropped.

Default values are set to 8 for options counts, and set to INT_MAX
for maximum length. Note the choice to limit options to 8 is an
arbitrary guess (roughly based on the fact that the stack supports
three HBH options and just one destination option).

These limits have being proposed in draft-ietf-6man-rfc6434-bis.

Tested (by Martin Lau)

I tested out 1 thread (i.e. one raw_udp process).

I changed the net.ipv6.max_dst_(opts|hbh)_number between 8 to 2048.
With sysctls setting to 2048, the softirq% is packed to 100%.
With 8, the softirq% is almost unnoticable from mpstat.

v2;
  - Code and documention cleanup.
  - Change references of RFC2460 to be RFC8200.
  - Add reference to RFC6434-bis where the limits will be in standard.

35e015e1f5 ipv6: fix net.ipv6.conf.all interface DAD handlers
Currently, writing into
net.ipv6.conf.all.{accept_dad,use_optimistic,optimistic_dad} has no effect.
Fix handling of these flags by:

- using the maximum of global and per-interface values for the
  accept_dad flag. That is, if at least one of the two values is
  non-zero, enable DAD on the interface. If at least one value is
  set to 2, enable DAD and disable IPv6 operation on the interface if
  MAC-based link-local address was found

- using the logical OR of global and per-interface values for the
  optimistic_dad flag. If at least one of them is set to one, optimistic
  duplicate address detection (RFC 4429) is enabled on the interface

- using the logical OR of global and per-interface values for the
  use_optimistic flag. If at least one of them is set to one,
  optimistic addresses won't be marked as deprecated during source address
  selection on the interface.

While at it, as we're modifying the prototype for ipv6_use_optimistic_addr(),
drop inline, and let the compiler decide.

eaa72dc474 neigh: increase queue_len_bytes to match wmem_default
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.

22b6722bfa ipv6: Add sysctl for per namespace flow label reflection
Reflecting IPv6 Flow Label at server nodes is useful in environments
that employ multipath routing to load balance the requests. As "IPv6
Flow Label Reflection" standard draft [1] points out - ICMPv6 PTB error
messages generated in response to a downstream packets from the server
can be routed by a load balancer back to the original server without
looking at transport headers, if the server applies the flow label
reflection. This enables the Path MTU Discovery past the ECMP router in
load-balance or anycast environments where each server node is reachable
by only one path.

Introduce a sysctl to enable flow label reflection per net namespace for
all newly created sockets. Same could be earlier achieved only per
socket by setting the IPV6_FL_F_REFLECT flag for the IPV6_FLOWLABEL_MGR
socket option.

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.

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.

again incorrectly.

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.

After the randomization of TCP timestamp offsets

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.

63a6fff353 net: Avoid receiving packets with an l3mdev on unbound UDP sockets
Packets arriving in a VRF currently are delivered to UDP sockets that
aren't bound to any interface. TCP defaults to not delivering packets
arriving in a VRF to unbound sockets. IP route lookup and socket
transmit both assume that unbound means using the default table and
UDP applications that haven't been changed to be aware of VRFs may not
function correctly in this case since they may not be able to handle
overlapping IP address ranges, or be able to send packets back to the
original sender if required.

So add a sysctl, udp_l3mdev_accept, to control this behaviour with it
being analgous to the existing tcp_l3mdev_accept, namely to allow a
process to have a VRF-global listen socket. Have this default to off
as this is the behaviour that users will expect, given that there is
no explicit mechanism to set unmodified VRF-unaware application into a
default VRF.

4548b683b7 Introduce a sysctl that modifies the value of PROT_SOCK.
Add net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start, which is a per namespace sysctl
that denotes the first unprivileged inet port in the namespace.  To
disable all privileged ports set this to zero.  It also checks for
overlap with the local port range.  The privileged and local range may
not overlap.

The use case for this change is to allow containerized processes to bind
to priviliged ports, but prevent them from ever being allowed to modify
their container's network configuration.  The latter is accomplished by
ensuring that the network namespace is not a child of the user
namespace.  This modification was needed to allow the container manager
to disable a namespace's priviliged port restrictions without exposing
control of the network namespace to processes in the user namespace.

Thin stream DUPACK is to start fast recovery on only one DUPACK
provided the connection is a thin stream (i.e., low inflight).  But
this older feature is now subsumed with RACK. If a connection
receives only a single DUPACK, RACK would arm a reordering timer
and soon starts fast recovery instead of timeout if no further
ACKs are received.

The socket option (THIN_DUPACK) is kept as a nop for compatibility.
Note that this patch does not change another thin-stream feature
which enables linear RTO. Although it might be good to generalize
that in the future (i.e., linear RTO for the first say 3 retries).

RACK receives DUPACKs, it'll arm a reordering timer to start fast
recovery after a quarter of (min)RTT, hence it covers the early
retransmit except RACK does not limit itself to specific inflight
or dupack numbers.

adc176c547 ipv6 addrconf: Implemented enhanced DAD (RFC7527)
Implemented RFC7527 Enhanced DAD.
IPv6 duplicate address detection can fail if there is some temporary
loopback of Ethernet frames. RFC7527 solves this by including a random
nonce in the NS messages used for DAD, and if an NS is received with the
same nonce it is assumed to be a looped back DAD probe and is ignored.
RFC7527 is enabled by default. Can be disabled by setting both of
conf/{all,interface}/enhanced_dad to zero.

25429d7b7d tcp: allow to turn tcp timestamp randomization off
Eric says: "By looking at tcpdump, and TS val of xmit packets of multiple
flows, we can deduct the relative qdisc delays (think of fq pacing).
This should work even if we have one flow per remote peer."

Having random per flow (or host) offsets doesn't allow that anymore so add
a way to turn this off.

a6db4494d2 net: ipv4: Consider failed nexthops in multipath routes
Multipath route lookups should consider knowledge about next hops and not

                                  [h1]  12.0.0.1

host h1 with IP 12.0.0.1 has 2 paths to host h3 at 15.0.0.5:

    root@h1:~# ip ro ls
    ...
    12.0.0.0/24 dev swp1  proto kernel  scope link  src 12.0.0.1
    15.0.0.0/16
            nexthop via 12.0.0.2  dev swp1 weight 1
            nexthop via 12.0.0.3  dev swp1 weight 1
    ...

If the link between tor3 and tor1 is down and the link between tor1
and tor2 then tor1 is effectively cut-off from h1. Yet the route lookups
in h1 are alternating between the 2 routes: ping 15.0.0.5 gets one and
ssh 15.0.0.5 gets the other. Connections that attempt to use the
12.0.0.2 nexthop fail since that neighbor is not reachable:

    root@h1:~# ip neigh show
    ...
    12.0.0.3 dev swp1 lladdr 00:02:00:00:00:1b REACHABLE
    12.0.0.2 dev swp1  FAILED
    ...

The failed path can be avoided by considering known neighbor information
when selecting next hops. If the neighbor lookup fails we have no
knowledge about the nexthop, so give it a shot. If there is an entry
then only select the nexthop if the state is sane. This is similar to
what fib_detect_death does.

To maintain backward compatibility use of the neighbor information is
based on a new sysctl, fib_multipath_use_neigh.

f1705ec197 net: ipv6: Make address flushing on ifdown optional
Currently, all ipv6 addresses are flushed when the interface is configured
down, including global, static addresses:

    $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1
    3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 state UP qlen 1000
        inet6 2100:1::2/120 scope global

           valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    $ ip link set dev eth1 down
    $ ip -6 addr show dev eth1
    << nothing; all addresses have been flushed>>

Add a new sysctl to make this behavior optional. The new setting defaults to
flush all addresses to maintain backwards compatibility. When the set global
addresses with no expire times are not flushed on an admin down. The sysctl
is per-interface or system-wide for all interfaces

    $ sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth1.keep_addr_on_down=1
or
    $ sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.keep_addr_on_down=1

Will keep addresses on eth1 on an admin down.

6dd9a14e92 net: Allow accepted sockets to be bound to l3mdev domain
Allow accepted sockets to derive their sk_bound_dev_if setting from the
l3mdev domain in which the packets originated. A sysctl setting is added
to control the behavior which is similar to sk_mark and
sysctl_tcp_fwmark_accept.

This effectively allow a process to have a "VRF-global" listen socket,
with child sockets bound to the VRF device in which the packet originated.
A similar behavior can be achieved using sk_mark, but a solution using marks
is incomplete as it does not handle duplicate addresses in different L3
domains/VRFs. Allowing sockets to inherit the sk_bound_dev_if from l3mdev
domain provides a complete solution.

====================
pull request (net-next): ipsec-next 2015-10-30

1) The flow cache is limited by the flow cache limit which
   depends on the number of cpus and the xfrm garbage collector
   threshold which is independent of the number of cpus. This
   leads to the fact that on systems with more than 16 cpus
   we hit the xfrm garbage collector limit and refuse new
   allocations, so new flows are dropped. On systems with 16
   or less cpus, we hit the flowcache limit. In this case, we
   shrink the flow cache instead of refusing new flows.

   We increase the xfrm garbage collector threshold to INT_MAX
   to get the same behaviour, independent of the number of cpus.

2) Fix some unaligned accesses on sparc systems.
   From Sowmini Varadhan.

3) Fix some header checks in _decode_session4. We may call
   pskb_may_pull with a negative value converted to unsigened
   int from pskb_may_pull. This can lead to incorrect policy
   lookups. We fix this by a check of the data pointer position
   before we call pskb_may_pull.

4) Reload skb header pointers after calling pskb_may_pull
   in _decode_session4 as this may change the pointers into
   the packet.

5) Add a missing statistic counter on inner mode errors.

4f41b1c58a tcp: use RACK to detect losses
This patch implements the second half of RACK that uses the the most
recent transmit time among all delivered packets to detect losses.

tcp_rack_mark_lost() is called upon receiving a dubious ACK.
It then checks if an not-yet-sacked packet was sent at least
"reo_wnd" prior to the sent time of the most recently delivered.
If so the packet is deemed lost.

The "reo_wnd" reordering window starts with 1msec for fast loss
detection and changes to min-RTT/4 when reordering is observed.
We found 1msec accommodates well on tiny degree of reordering
(<3 pkts) on faster links. We use min-RTT instead of SRTT because
reordering is more of a path property but SRTT can be inflated by
self-inflicated congestion. The factor of 4 is borrowed from the
delayed early retransmit and seems to work reasonably well.

Since RACK is still experimental, it is now used as a supplemental
loss detection on top of existing algorithms. It is only effective
after the fast recovery starts or after the timeout occurs. The
fast recovery is still triggered by FACK and/or dupack threshold
instead of RACK.

We introduce a new sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_recovery for future
experiments of loss recoveries. For now RACK can be disabled by
setting it to 0.

f672258391 tcp: track min RTT using windowed min-filter
Kathleen Nichols' algorithm for tracking the minimum RTT of a
data stream over some measurement window. It uses constant space
and constant time per update. Yet it almost always delivers
the same minimum as an implementation that has to keep all
the data in the window. The measurement window is tunable via
sysctl.net.ipv4.tcp_min_rtt_wlen with a default value of 5 minutes.

The algorithm keeps track of the best, 2nd best & 3rd best min
values, maintaining an invariant that the measurement time of
the n'th best >= n-1'th best. It also makes sure that the three
values are widely separated in the time window since that bounds
the worse case error when that data is monotonically increasing
over the window.

Upon getting a new min, we can forget everything earlier because
it has no value - the new min is less than everything else in the
window by definition and it's the most recent. So we restart fresh
on every new min and overwrites the 2nd & 3rd choices. The same
property holds for the 2nd & 3rd best.

Therefore we have to maintain two invariants to maximize the
information in the samples, one on values (1st.v <= 2nd.v <=
3rd.v) and the other on times (now-win <=1st.t <= 2nd.t <= 3rd.t <=
now). These invariants determine the structure of the code

The RTT input to the windowed filter is the minimum RTT measured
from ACK or SACK, or as the last resort from TCP timestamps.

The accessor tcp_min_rtt() returns the minimum RTT seen in the
window. ~0U indicates it is not available. The minimum is 1usec
even if the true RTT is below that.

suitable behaviour for ICMP redirect messages generated by VRRP routers.
However RFC 5798 section 8.1.1 states:

    The IPv4 source address of an ICMP redirect should be the address
    that the end-host used when making its next-hop routing decision.

while said commit used the generating packet destination
address, which do not match the above and in most cases leads to
no redirect packets to be generated.

e2ca690b65 ipv4/icmp: redirect messages can use the ingress daddr as source
This patch allows configuring how the source address of ICMP
redirect messages is selected; by default the old behaviour is
retained, while setting icmp_redirects_use_orig_daddr force the
usage of the destination address of the packet that caused the
redirect.

The new behaviour fits closely the RFC 5798 section 8.1.1, and fix the
following scenario:

Two machines are set up with VRRP to act as routers out of a subnet,
they have IPs x.x.x.1/24 and x.x.x.2/24, with VRRP holding on to
x.x.x.254/24.

If a host in said subnet needs to get an ICMP redirect from the VRRP
router, i.e. to reach a destination behind a different gateway, the
source IP in the ICMP redirect is chosen as the primary IP on the
interface that the packet arrived at, i.e. x.x.x.1 or x.x.x.2.

The host will then ignore said redirect, due to RFC 1122 section 3.2.2.2,
and will continue to use the wrong next-op.

c386578f1c xfrm: Let the flowcache handle its size by default.
The xfrm flowcache size is limited by the flowcache limit
(4096 * number of online cpus) and the xfrm garbage collector
threshold (2 * 32768), whatever is reached first. This means
that we can hit the garbage collector limit only on systems
with more than 16 cpus. On such systems we simply refuse
new allocations if we reach the limit, so new flows are dropped.
On syslems with 16 or less cpus, we hit the flowcache limit.
In this case, we shrink the flow cache instead of refusing new
flows.

We increase the xfrm garbage collector threshold to INT_MAX
to get the same behaviour, independent of the number of cpus.

The xfrm garbage collector threshold can still be set below
the flowcache limit to reduce the memory usage of the flowcache.

When TCP pacing was added back in linux-3.12, we chose
to apply a fixed ratio of 200 % against current rate,
to allow probing for optimal throughput even during
slow start phase, where cwnd can be doubled every other gRTT.

At Google, we found it was better applying a different ratio
while in Congestion Avoidance phase.
This ratio was set to 120 %.

We've used the normal tcp_in_slow_start() helper for a while,
then tuned the condition to select the conservative ratio
as soon as cwnd >= ssthresh/2 :

- After cwnd reduction, it is safer to ramp up more slowly,
  as we approach optimal cwnd.
- Initial ramp up (ssthresh == INFINITY) still allows doubling
  cwnd every other RTT.

b56774163f ipv6: Enable auto flow labels by default
Initialize auto_flowlabels to one. This enables automatic flow labels,
individual socket may disable them using the IPV6_AUTOFLOWLABEL socket
option.

42240901f7 ipv6: Implement different admin modes for automatic flow labels
Change the meaning of net.ipv6.auto_flowlabels to provide a mode for
automatic flow labels generation. There are four modes:

0: flow labels are disabled
1: flow labels are enabled, sockets can opt-out
2: flow labels are allowed, sockets can opt-in
3: flow labels are enabled and enforced, no opt-out for sockets

np->autoflowlabel is initialized according to the sysctl value.

8013d1d7ea net/ipv6: add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit
Commit 6fd99094de ("ipv6: Don't reduce hop limit for an interface")
disabled accept hop limit from RA if it is smaller than the current hop
limit for security stuff. But this behavior kind of break the RFC definition.

RFC 4861, 6.3.4.  Processing Received Router Advertisements
   A Router Advertisement field (e.g., Cur Hop Limit, Reachable Time,
   and Retrans Timer) may contain a value denoting that it is
   unspecified.  In such cases, the parameter should be ignored and the
   host should continue using whatever value it is already using.

   If the received Cur Hop Limit value is non-zero, the host SHOULD set
   its CurHopLimit variable to the received value.

So add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit to let user choose the minimum
hop limit value they can accept from RA. And set default to 1 to meet RFC
standards.
