cca32e4bf9 net: TCP early demux cleanup
early_demux() handlers should be called in RCU context, and as we
use skb_dst_set_noref(skb, dst), caller must not exit from RCU context
before dst use (skb_dst(skb)) or release (skb_drop(dst))

Therefore, rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs around
->early_demux() are confusing and not needed :

Protocol handlers are already in an RCU read lock section.
(__netif_receive_skb() does the rcu_read_lock() )

59ea33a68a tcp: perform DMA to userspace only if there is a task waiting for it
Back in 2006, commit 1a2449a87b ("[I/OAT]: TCP recv offload to I/OAT")
added support for receive offloading to IOAT dma engine if available.

The code in tcp_rcv_established() tries to perform early DMA copy if
applicable. It however does so without checking whether the userspace
task is actually expecting the data in the buffer.

This is not a problem under normal circumstances, but there is a corner
case where this doesn't work -- and that's when MSG_TRUNC flag to
recvmsg() is used.

If the IOAT dma engine is not used, the code properly checks whether
there is a valid ucopy.task and the socket is owned by userspace, but
misses the check in the dmaengine case.

This problem can be observed in real trivially -- for example 'tbench' is a
good reproducer, as it makes a heavy use of MSG_TRUNC. On systems utilizing
IOAT, you will soon find tbench waiting indefinitely in sk_wait_data(), as they
have been already early-copied in tcp_rcv_established() using dma engine.

This patch introduces the same check we are performing in the simple
iovec copy case to the IOAT case as well. It fixes the indefinite
recvmsg(MSG_TRUNC) hangs.

92101b3b2e ipv4: Prepare for change of rt->rt_iif encoding.
Use inet_iif() consistently, and for TCP record the input interface of
cached RX dst in inet sock.

rt->rt_iif is going to be encoded differently, so that we can
legitimately cache input routes in the FIB info more aggressively.

When the input interface is "use SKB device index" the rt->rt_iif will
be set to zero.

This forces us to move the TCP RX dst cache installation into the ipv4
specific code, and as well it should since doing the route caching for
ipv6 is pointless at the moment since it is not inspected in the ipv6
input paths yet.

Also, remove the unlikely on dst->obsolete, all ipv4 dsts have
obsolete set to a non-zero value to force invocation of the check
callback.

563d34d057 tcp: dont drop MTU reduction indications
ICMP messages generated in output path if frame length is bigger than
mtu are actually lost because socket is owned by user (doing the xmit)

One example is the ipgre_tunnel_xmit() calling
icmp_send(skb, ICMP_DEST_UNREACH, ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED, htonl(mtu));

We had a similar case fixed in commit a34a101e1e (ipv6: disable GSO on
sockets hitting dst_allfrag).

Problem of such fix is that it relied on retransmit timers, so short tcp
sessions paid a too big latency increase price.

This patch uses the tcp_release_cb() infrastructure so that MTU
reduction messages (ICMP messages) are not lost, and no extra delay
is added in TCP transmits.

5e9965c15b Merge branch 'kill_rtcache'
The ipv4 routing cache is non-deterministic, performance wise, and is
subject to reasonably easy to launch denial of service attacks.

The routing cache works great for well behaved traffic, and the world
was a much friendlier place when the tradeoffs that led to the routing
cache's design were considered.

What it boils down to is that the performance of the routing cache is
a product of the traffic patterns seen by a system rather than being a
product of the contents of the routing tables.  The former of which is
controllable by external entitites.

Even for "well behaved" legitimate traffic, high volume sites can see
hit rates in the routing cache of only ~%10.

The general flow of this patch series is that first the routing cache
is removed.  We build a completely new rtable entry every lookup
request.

Next we make some simplifications due to the fact that removing the
routing cache causes several members of struct rtable to become no
longer necessary.

Then we need to make some amends such that we can legally cache
pre-constructed routes in the FIB nexthops.  Firstly, we need to
invalidate routes which are hit with nexthop exceptions.  Secondly we
have to change the semantics of rt->rt_gateway such that zero means
that the destination is on-link and non-zero otherwise.

Now that the preparations are ready, we start caching precomputed
routes in the FIB nexthops.  Output and input routes need different
kinds of care when determining if we can legally do such caching or
not.  The details are in the commit log messages for those changes.

The patch series then winds down with some more struct rtable
simplifications and other tidy ups that remove unnecessary overhead.

On a SPARC-T3 output route lookups are ~876 cycles.  Input route
lookups are ~1169 cycles with rpfilter disabled, and about ~1468
cycles with rpfilter enabled.

These measurements were taken with the kbench_mod test module in the
net_test_tools GIT tree:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net_test_tools.git

That GIT tree also includes a udpflood tester tool and stresses
route lookups on packet output.

For example, on the same SPARC-T3 system we can run:

	time ./udpflood -l 10000000 10.2.2.11

with routing cache:
real    1m21.955s       user    0m6.530s        sys     1m15.390s

without routing cache:
real    1m31.678s       user    0m6.520s        sys     1m25.140s

Performance undoubtedly can easily be improved further.

For example fib_table_lookup() performs a lot of excessive
computations with all the masking and shifting, some of it
conditionalized to deal with edge cases.

Also, Eric's no-ref optimization for input route lookups can be
re-instated for the FIB nexthop caching code path.  I would be really
pleased if someone would work on that.

In fact anyone suitable motivated can just fire up perf on the loading
of the test net_test_tools benchmark kernel module.  I spend much of
my time going:

bash# perf record insmod ./kbench_mod.ko dst=172.30.42.22 src=74.128.0.1 iif=2
bash# perf report

Thanks to helpful feedback from Joe Perches, Eric Dumazet, Ben
Hutchings, and others.

2860583fe8 ipv4: Kill rt->fi
It's not really needed.

We only grabbed a reference to the fib_info for the sake of fib_info
local metrics.

However, fib_info objects are freed using RCU, as are therefore their
private metrics (if any).

We would have triggered a route cache flush if we eliminated a
reference to a fib_info object in the routing tables.

Therefore, any existing cached routes will first check and see that
they have been invalidated before an errant reference to these
metric values would occur.

f2bb4bedf3 ipv4: Cache output routes in fib_info nexthops.
If we have an output route that lacks nexthop exceptions, we can cache
it in the FIB info nexthop.

Such routes will have DST_HOST cleared because such routes refer to a
family of destinations, rather than just one.

The sequence of the handling of exceptions during route lookup is
adjusted to make the logic work properly.

Before we allocate the route, we lookup the exception.

Then we know if we will cache this route or not, and therefore whether
DST_HOST should be set on the allocated route.

Then we use DST_HOST to key off whether we should store the resulting
route, during rt_set_nexthop(), in the FIB nexthop cache.

6f458dfb40 tcp: improve latencies of timer triggered events
Modern TCP stack highly depends on tcp_write_timer() having a small
latency, but current implementation doesn't exactly meet the
expectations.

When a timer fires but finds the socket is owned by the user, it rearms
itself for an additional delay hoping next run will be more
successful.

tcp_write_timer() for example uses a 50ms delay for next try, and it
defeats many attempts to get predictable TCP behavior in term of
latencies.

Use the recently introduced tcp_release_cb(), so that the user owning
the socket will call various handlers right before socket release.

This will permit us to post a followup patch to address the
tcp_tso_should_defer() syndrome (some deferred packets have to wait
RTO timer to be transmitted, while cwnd should allow us to send them
sooner)

67da22d23f net-tcp: Fast Open client - cookie-less mode
In trusted networks, e.g., intranet, data-center, the client does not
need to use Fast Open cookie to mitigate DoS attacks. In cookie-less
mode, sendmsg() with MSG_FASTOPEN flag will send SYN-data regardless
of cookie availability.

aab4874355 net-tcp: Fast Open client - detecting SYN-data drops
On paths with firewalls dropping SYN with data or experimental TCP options,
Fast Open connections will have experience SYN timeout and bad performance.
The solution is to track such incidents in the cookie cache and disables
Fast Open temporarily.

Since only the original SYN includes data and/or Fast Open option, the
SYN-ACK has some tell-tale sign (tcp_rcv_fastopen_synack()) to detect
such drops. If a path has recurring Fast Open SYN drops, Fast Open is
disabled for 2^(recurring_losses) minutes starting from four minutes up to
roughly one and half day. sendmsg with MSG_FASTOPEN flag will succeed but
it behaves as connect() then write().

cf60af03ca net-tcp: Fast Open client - sendmsg(MSG_FASTOPEN)
sendmsg() (or sendto()) with MSG_FASTOPEN is a combo of connect(2)
and write(2). The application should replace connect() with it to
send data in the opening SYN packet.

For blocking socket, sendmsg() blocks until all the data are buffered
locally and the handshake is completed like connect() call. It
returns similar errno like connect() if the TCP handshake fails.

For non-blocking socket, it returns the number of bytes queued (and
transmitted in the SYN-data packet) if cookie is available. If cookie
is not available, it transmits a data-less SYN packet with Fast Open
cookie request option and returns -EINPROGRESS like connect().

Using MSG_FASTOPEN on connecting or connected socket will result in
simlar errno like repeating connect() calls. Therefore the application
should only use this flag on new sockets.

The buffer size of sendmsg() is independent of the MSS of the connection.

8e4178c1c7 net-tcp: Fast Open client - receiving SYN-ACK
On receiving the SYN-ACK after SYN-data, the client needs to
a) update the cached MSS and cookie (if included in SYN-ACK)
b) retransmit the data not yet acknowledged by the SYN-ACK in the final ACK of
   the handshake.

783237e8da net-tcp: Fast Open client - sending SYN-data
This patch implements sending SYN-data in tcp_connect(). The data is
from tcp_sendmsg() with flag MSG_FASTOPEN (implemented in a later patch).

The length of the cookie in tcp_fastopen_req, init'd to 0, controls the
type of the SYN. If the cookie is not cached (len==0), the host sends
data-less SYN with Fast Open cookie request option to solicit a cookie
from the remote. If cookie is not available (len > 0), the host sends
a SYN-data with Fast Open cookie option. If cookie length is negative,
  the SYN will not include any Fast Open option (for fall back operations).

To deal with middleboxes that may drop SYN with data or experimental TCP
option, the SYN-data is only sent once. SYN retransmits do not include
data or Fast Open options. The connection will fall back to regular TCP
handshake.

1fe4c481ba net-tcp: Fast Open client - cookie cache
With help from Eric Dumazet, add Fast Open metrics in tcp metrics cache.
The basic ones are MSS and the cookies. Later patch will cache more to
handle unfriendly middleboxes.

2100c8d2d9 net-tcp: Fast Open base
This patch impelements the common code for both the client and server.

1. TCP Fast Open option processing. Since Fast Open does not have an
   option number assigned by IANA yet, it shares the experiment option
   code 254 by implementing draft-ietf-tcpm-experimental-options
   with a 16 bits magic number 0xF989. This enables global experiments
   without clashing the scarce(2) experimental options available for TCP.

   When the draft status becomes standard (maybe), the client should
   switch to the new option number assigned while the server supports
   both numbers for transistion.

2. The new sysctl tcp_fastopen

3. A place holder init function
