Client link group creation always follows the server linkgroup creation.
If peer creates a new server link group, client has to create a new
client link group. If peer reuses a server link group for a new
connection, client has to reuse its client link group as well. To
avoid out-of-sync conditions for link groups a longer delay for
for client link group removal is defined to make sure this link group
still exists, once the peer decides to reuse a server link group.
Currently the client link group delay time is just 10 jiffies larger
than the server link group delay time. This patch increases the delay
difference to 10 seconds to have a better protection against
out-of-sync link groups.

bpfilter.ko consists of bpfilter_kern.c (normal kernel module code)
and user mode helper code that is embedded into bpfilter.ko
The steps to build bpfilter.ko are the following:
- main.c is compiled by HOSTCC into the bpfilter_umh elf executable file
- with quite a bit of objcopy and Makefile magic the bpfilter_umh elf file
is converted into bpfilter_umh.o object file
with _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start and _end symbols
Example:
$ nm ./bld_x64/net/bpfilter/bpfilter_umh.o
0000000000004cf8 T _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_end
0000000000004cf8 A _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_size
0000000000000000 T _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start
- bpfilter_umh.o and bpfilter_kern.o are linked together into bpfilter.ko
bpfilter_kern.c is a normal kernel module code that calls
the fork_usermode_blob() helper to execute part of its own data
as a user mode process.
Notice that _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start - end
is placed into .init.rodata section, so it's freed as soon as __init
function of bpfilter.ko is finished.
As part of __init the bpfilter.ko does first request/reply action
via two unix pipe provided by fork_usermode_blob() helper to
make sure that umh is healthy. If not it will kill it via pid.
Later bpfilter_process_sockopt() will be called from bpfilter hooks
in get/setsockopt() to pass iptable commands into umh via bpfilter.ko
If admin does 'rmmod bpfilter' the __exit code bpfilter.ko will
kill umh as well.

Bring consistency to ipv6 route replace and append semantics.
Remove rt6_qualify_for_ecmp which is just guess work. It fails in 2 cases:
1. can not replace a route with a reject route. Existing code appends
a new route instead of replacing the existing one.
2. can not have a multipath route where a leg uses a dev only nexthop
Existing use cases affected by this change:
1. adding a route with existing prefix and metric using NLM_F_CREATE
without NLM_F_APPEND or NLM_F_EXCL (ie., what iproute2 calls
'prepend'). Existing code auto-determines that the new nexthop can
be appended to an existing route to create a multipath route. This
change breaks that by requiring the APPEND flag for the new route
to be added to an existing one. Instead the prepend just adds another
route entry.
2. route replace. Existing code replaces first matching multipath route
if new route is multipath capable and fallback to first matching
non-ECMP route (reject or dev only route) in case one isn't available.
New behavior replaces first matching route. (Thanks to Ido for spotting
this one)
Note: Newer iproute2 is needed to display multipath routes with a dev-only
nexthop. This is due to a bug in iproute2 and parsing nexthops.

Currently ip6gre and ip6erspan share single metadata mode device,
using 'collect_md_tun'. Thus, when doing:
ip link add dev ip6gre11 type ip6gretap external
ip link add dev ip6erspan12 type ip6erspan external
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
simply fails due to the 2nd tries to create the same collect_md_tun.
The patch fixes it by adding a separate collect md tunnel device
for the ip6erspan, 'collect_md_tun_erspan'. As a result, a couple
of places need to refactor/split up in order to distinguish ip6gre
and ip6erspan.
First, move the collect_md check at ip6gre_tunnel_{unlink,link} and
create separate function {ip6gre,ip6ersapn}_tunnel_{link_md,unlink_md}.
Then before link/unlink, make sure the link_md/unlink_md is called.
Finally, a separate ndo_uninit is created for ip6erspan. Tested it
using the samples/bpf/test_tunnel_bpf.sh.

When TCP receives an out-of-order packet, it immediately sends
a SACK packet, generating network load but also forcing the
receiver to send 1-MSS pathological packets, increasing its
RTX queue length/depth, and thus processing time.
Wifi networks suffer from this aggressive behavior, but generally
speaking, all these SACK packets add fuel to the fire when networks
are under congestion.
This patch adds a high resolution timer and tp->compressed_ack counter.
Instead of sending a SACK, we program this timer with a small delay,
based on RTT and capped to 1 ms :
delay = min ( 5 % of RTT, 1 ms)
If subsequent SACKs need to be sent while the timer has not yet
expired, we simply increment tp->compressed_ack.
When timer expires, a SACK is sent with the latest information.
Whenever an ACK is sent (if data is sent, or if in-order
data is received) timer is canceled.
Note that tcp_sack_new_ofo_skb() is able to force a SACK to be sent
if the sack blocks need to be shuffled, even if the timer has not
expired.
A new SNMP counter is added in the following patch.
