Added support for changing congestion control for SOCK_OPS bpf
programs through the setsockopt bpf helper function. It also adds
a new SOCK_OPS op, BPF_SOCK_OPS_NEEDS_ECN, that is needed for
congestion controls, like dctcp, that need to enable ECN in the
SYN packets.

The program load_sock_ops can be used to load sock_ops bpf programs and
to attach it to an existing (v2) cgroup. It can also be used to detach
sock_ops programs.
Examples:
load_sock_ops [-l] <cg-path> <prog filename>
Load and attaches a sock_ops program at the specified cgroup.
If "-l" is used, the program will continue to run to output the
BPF log buffer.
If the specified filename does not end in ".o", it appends
"_kern.o" to the name.
load_sock_ops -r <cg-path>
Detaches the currently attached sock_ops program from the

Created a new BPF program type, BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS, and a corresponding
struct that allows BPF programs of this type to access some of the
socket's fields (such as IP addresses, ports, etc.). It uses the
existing bpf cgroups infrastructure so the programs can be attached per
cgroup with full inheritance support. The program will be called at
appropriate times to set relevant connections parameters such as buffer
sizes, SYN and SYN-ACK RTOs, etc., based on connection information such
as IP addresses, port numbers, etc.
Alghough there are already 3 mechanisms to set parameters (sysctls,
route metrics and setsockopts), this new mechanism provides some
distinct advantages. Unlike sysctls, it can set parameters per
connection. In contrast to route metrics, it can also use port numbers
and information provided by a user level program. In addition, it could
set parameters probabilistically for evaluation purposes (i.e. do
something different on 10% of the flows and compare results with the
other 90% of the flows). Also, in cases where IPv6 addresses contain
geographic information, the rules to make changes based on the distance
(or RTT) between the hosts are much easier than route metric rules and
can be global. Finally, unlike setsockopt, it oes not require
application changes and it can be updated easily at any time.
Although the bpf cgroup framework already contains a sock related
program type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK), I created the new type
(BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS) beccause the existing type expects to be called
only once during the connections's lifetime. In contrast, the new
program type will be called multiple times from different places in the
network stack code. For example, before sending SYN and SYN-ACKs to set
an appropriate timeout, when the connection is established to set
congestion control, etc. As a result it has "op" field to specify the
type of operation requested.
The purpose of this new program type is to simplify setting connection
parameters, such as buffer sizes, TCP's SYN RTO, etc. For example, it is
easy to use facebook's internal IPv6 addresses to determine if both hosts
of a connection are in the same datacenter. Therefore, it is easy to
write a BPF program to choose a small SYN RTO value when both hosts are
in the same datacenter.
This patch only contains the framework to support the new BPF program
type, following patches add the functionality to set various connection
parameters.
This patch defines a new BPF program type: BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_OPS
and a new bpf syscall command to load a new program of this type:
BPF_PROG_LOAD_SOCKET_OPS.
Two new corresponding structs (one for the kernel one for the user/BPF
program):
/* kernel version */
struct bpf_sock_ops_kern {
struct sock *sk;
__u32 op;
union {
__u32 reply;
__u32 replylong[4];
};
};
/* user version
* Some fields are in network byte order reflecting the sock struct
* Use the bpf_ntohl helper macro in samples/bpf/bpf_endian.h to
* convert them to host byte order.
*/
struct bpf_sock_ops {
__u32 op;
union {
__u32 reply;
__u32 replylong[4];
};
__u32 family;
__u32 remote_ip4; /* In network byte order */
__u32 local_ip4; /* In network byte order */
__u32 remote_ip6[4]; /* In network byte order */
__u32 local_ip6[4]; /* In network byte order */
__u32 remote_port; /* In network byte order */
__u32 local_port; /* In host byte horder */
};
Currently there are two types of ops. The first type expects the BPF
program to return a value which is then used by the caller (or a
negative value to indicate the operation is not supported). The second
type expects state changes to be done by the BPF program, for example
through a setsockopt BPF helper function, and they ignore the return
value.
The reply fields of the bpf_sockt_ops struct are there in case a bpf
program needs to return a value larger than an integer.

Based on a request raised on the sctp devel list, there is a need to
augment the sctp_peeloff operation while specifying the O_CLOEXEC and
O_NONBLOCK flags (simmilar to the socket syscall). Since modifying the
SCTP_SOCKOPT_PEELOFF socket option would break user space ABI for existing
programs, this patch creates a new socket option
SCTP_SOCKOPT_PEELOFF_FLAGS, which accepts a third flags parameter to
allow atomic assignment of the socket descriptor flags.

nfp: introduce flower offload capabilities
this series adds flower offload to the NFP driver. It builds on recent

the universe of possible flower matches and tc actions to be offloaded.
It is planned that this support will grow over time but the support
offered by this patch-set seems to be a reasonable starting point.

from hardware for each offloaded flow.

v3 net generic subsystem refcount conversions
Changes in v3:
Rebased on top of the net-next tree.
Changes in v2:
No changes in patches apart from rebases, but now by
default refcount_t = atomic_t (*) and uses all atomic standard operations
unless CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL is enabled. This is a compromise for the
systems that are critical on performance (such as net) and cannot accept even
slight delay on the refcounter operations.
This series, for core network subsystem components, replaces atomic_t reference
counters with the new refcount_t type and API (see include/linux/refcount.h).
By doing this we prevent intentional or accidental
underflows or overflows that can led to use-after-free vulnerabilities.
These patches contain only generic net pieces. Other changes will be sent separately.
The patches are fully independent and can be cherry-picked separately.
The big patches, such as conversions for sock structure, need a very detailed
look from maintainers: refcount managing is quite complex in them and while
it seems that they would benefit from the change, extra checking is needed.
The biggest corner issue is the fact that refcount_inc() does not increment
from zero.
If there are no objections to the patches, please merge them via respective trees.
* The respective change is currently merged into -next as
"locking/refcount: Create unchecked atomic_t implementation".
