Would be good to make things explicit and move those functions to
a new file called tcp_offload.c, thus make this similar to tcpv6_offload.c.
While moving all related functions into tcp_offload.c, we can also
make some of them static, since they are only used there. Also, add
an explicit registration function.

Conflicts:
net/netfilter/nf_log.c
The conflict in nf_log.c is that in 'net' we added CONFIG_PROC_FS
protection around foo_proc_entry() calls to fix a build failure,
whereas in Pablo's tree a guard if() test around a call is
remove_proc_entry() was removed. Trivially resolved.

Merge 'net' bug fixes into 'net-next' as we have patches
that will build on top of them.
This merge commit includes a change from Emil Goode
(emilgoode@gmail.com) that fixes a warning that would
have been introduced by this merge. Specifically it
fixes the pingv6_ops method ipv6_chk_addr() to add a
"const" to the "struct net_device *dev" argument and
likewise update the dummy_ipv6_chk_addr() declaration.

commit 13d82bf5 (ipv4: Fix flushing of cached routing informations)
added the support to flush learned pmtu information.
However, using rt_genid is quite heavy as it is bumped on route
add/change and multicast events amongst other places. These can
happen quite often, especially if using dynamic routing protocols.
While this is ok with routes (as they are just recreated locally),
the pmtu information is learned from remote systems and the icmp
notification can come with long delays. It is worthy to have separate
genid to avoid excessive pmtu resets.

GRO on IPv4 doesn't aggregate frames if they don't have DF bit set.
Some servers use IP_MTU_DISCOVER/IP_PMTUDISC_PROBE, so linux receivers
are unable to aggregate this kind of traffic.
The right thing to do is to allow aggregation as long as the DF bit has
same value on all segments.
bnx2x LRO does this correctly.

Upon detecting spurious fast retransmit via timestamps during recovery,
use PRR to clock out new data packet instead of retransmission. Once
all retransmission are proven spurious, the sender then reverts the
cwnd reduction and congestion state to open or disorder.
The current code does the opposite: it undoes cwnd as soon as any
retransmission is spurious and continues to retransmit until all
data are acked. This nullifies the point to undo the cwnd because
the sender is still retransmistting spuriously. This patch fixes
it. The undo_ssthresh argument of tcp_undo_cwnd_reductiuon() is no

fields of struct skbuff" when NET_SKBUFF_DATA_USES_OFFSET is not set. In
that case skb->tail will be a pointer however skb->network_header is now

This patch corrects the problem by adding a wrapper to return skb tail as

taken to treat such cases as an error.

Unlike ipv4_redirect() and ipv4_sk_redirect(), ip_do_redirect()
doesn't call __build_flow_key() directly but via

getting pointer to IPv4 header of the ICMP redirect packet
rather than pointer to the embedded IPv4 header of the packet
initiating the redirect.

In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is
added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the
NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets.
The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets
whose skbs are GSO.
SKB Usage:
When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do
the following to skb metadata:
* Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet.
skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch.
* Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet.
* Set skb->network_header to correspond to the
end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack.
I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to
kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich.
That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls()
and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open
vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code
present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point.
Features:
I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially
consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that
you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation.
This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices
to advertise features supported for MPLS packets.
A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support
hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this
and MPLS GSO always falls back to software.
Alternate Implementation:
One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features()
and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their
understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need
for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to
__skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment().
I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should
not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled
into the kernel or inserted as a module.
MPLS GSO suggested by Jesse Gross.

Daniel found a similar problem mentioned in
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1007.0/00961.html
And indeed this is the root cause : skb->cb[] contains data fooling IP
stack.
We must clear IPCB in ip_tunnel_xmit() sooner in case dst_link_failure()
is called. Or else skb->cb[] might contain garbage from GSO segmentation
layer.
A similar fix was tested on linux-3.9, but gre code was refactored in
linux-3.10. I'll send patches for stable kernels as well.

This adds the ability to send ICMPv6 echo requests without a
raw socket. The equivalent ability for ICMPv4 was added in
2011.
Instead of having separate code paths for IPv4 and IPv6, make
most of the code in net/ipv4/ping.c dual-stack and only add a
few IPv6-specific bits (like the protocol definition) to a new
net/ipv6/ping.c. Hopefully this will reduce divergence and/or
duplication of bugs in the future.
Caveats:
- Setting options via ancillary data (e.g., using IPV6_PKTINFO
to specify the outgoing interface) is not yet supported.
- There are no separate security settings for IPv4 and IPv6;
everything is controlled by /proc/net/ipv4/ping_group_range.
- The proc interface does not yet display IPv6 ping sockets
properly.
Tested with a patched copy of ping6 and using raw socket calls.
Compiles and works with all of CONFIG_IPV6={n,m,y}.

This patch is a fix for a bug triggering newly_acked_sacked < 0
in tcp_ack(.).
The bug is triggered by sacked_out decreasing relative to prior_sacked,
but packets_out remaining the same as pior_packets. This is because the
snapshot of prior_packets is taken after tcp_sacktag_write_queue() while
prior_sacked is captured before tcp_sacktag_write_queue(). The problem
is: tcp_sacktag_write_queue (tcp_match_skb_to_sack() -> tcp_fragment)
adjusts the pcount for packets_out and sacked_out (MSS change or other
reason). As a result, this delta in pcount is reflected in
(prior_sacked - sacked_out) but not in (prior_packets - packets_out).
This patch does the following:
1) initializes prior_packets at the start of tcp_ack() so as to
capture the delta in packets_out created by tcp_fragment.
2) introduces a new "previous_packets_out" variable that snapshots
packets_out right before tcp_clean_rtx_queue, so pkts_acked can be
correctly computed as before.
3) Computes pkts_acked using previous_packets_out, and computes
newly_acked_sacked using prior_packets.

TCP md5 code uses per cpu variables but protects access to them with
a shared spinlock, which is a contention point.
[ tcp_md5sig_pool_lock is locked twice per incoming packet ]
Makes things much simpler, by allocating crypto structures once, first
time a socket needs md5 keys, and not deallocating them as they are
really small.
Next step would be to allow crypto allocations being done in a NUMA
aware way.

tcp_timeout_skb() was intended to trigger fast recovery on timeout,
unfortunately in reality it often causes spurious retransmission
storms during fast recovery. The particular sign is a fast retransmit
over the highest sacked sequence (SND.FACK).
Currently the RTO timer re-arming (as in RFC6298) offers a nice cushion
to avoid spurious timeout: when SND.UNA advances the sender re-arms
RTO and extends the timeout by icsk_rto. The sender does not offset
the time elapsed since the packet at SND.UNA was sent.
But if the next (DUP)ACK arrives later than ~RTTVAR and triggers
tcp_fastretrans_alert(), then tcp_timeout_skb() will mark any packet
sent before the icsk_rto interval lost, including one that's above the
highest sacked sequence. Most likely a large part of scorebard will be
marked.
If most packets are not lost then the subsequent DUPACKs with new SACK
blocks will cause the sender to continue to retransmit packets beyond
SND.FACK spuriously. Even if only one packet is lost the sender may
falsely retransmit almost the entire window.
The situation becomes common in the world of bufferbloat: the RTT
continues to grow as the queue builds up but RTTVAR remains small and
close to the minimum 200ms. If a data packet is lost and the DUPACK
triggered by the next data packet is slightly delayed, then a spurious
retransmission storm forms.
As the original comment on tcp_timeout_skb() suggests: the usefulness
of this feature is questionable. It also wastes cycles walking the
sack scoreboard and is actually harmful because of false recovery.
It's time to remove this.

tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() contains a loop to estimate initial socket
rcv space needed for a given mss. With large MTU (like 64K on lo),
we can loop ~500 times and consume a lot of cpu cycles.
perf top of 200 concurrent netperf -t TCP_CRR
5.62% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] tcp_init_buffer_space
1.71% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock
1.55% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kmem_cache_free
1.51% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] tcp_transmit_skb
1.50% netperf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] tcp_ack
Lets use a 100% factor, and remove the loop.
100% is needed anyway for tcp_adv_win_scale=1
default value, and is also the maximum factor.

GSO TCP handler has following issues :
1) ooo_okay from original GSO packet is duplicated to all segments
2) segments (but the last one) are orphaned, so transmit path can not
get transmit queue number from the socket. This happens if GSO
segmentation is done before stacked device for example.
Result is we can send packets from a given TCP flow to different TX
queues (if using multiqueue NICS). This generates OOO problems and
spurious SACK & retransmits.
Fix this by keeping socket pointer set for all segments.
This means that every segment must also have a destructor, and the
original gso skb truesize must be split on all segments, to keep
precise sk->sk_wmem_alloc accounting.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:
====================
The following patchset contains three Netfilter fixes and update
for the MAINTAINER file for your net tree, they are:
* Fix crash if nf_log_packet is called from conntrack, in that case
both interfaces are NULL, from Hans Schillstrom. This bug introduced
with the logging netns support in the previous merge window.
* Fix compilation of nf_log and nf_queue without CONFIG_PROC_FS,
from myself. This bug was introduced in the previous merge window
with the new netns support for the netfilter logging infrastructure.
* Fix possible crash in xt_TCPOPTSTRIP due to missing sanity
checkings to validate that the TCP header is well-formed, from
myself. I can find this bug in 2.6.25, probably it's been there
since the beginning. I'll pass this to -stable.
* Update MAINTAINER file to point to new nf trees at git.kernel.org,
remove Harald and use M: instead of P: (now obsolete tag) to
keep Jozsef in the list of people.
Please, consider pulling this. Thanks!

Since (69b34fb netfilter: xt_LOG: add net namespace support
for xt_LOG), we hit this:
[ 4224.708977] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000388
[ 4224.709074] IP: [<ffffffff8147f699>] ipt_log_packet+0x29/0x270
when callling log functions from conntrack both in and out
are NULL i.e. the net pointer is invalid.
Adding struct net *net in call to nf_logfn() will secure that
there always is a vaild net ptr.

TCP md5 communications fail [1] for some devices, because sg/crypto code
assume page offsets are below PAGE_SIZE.
This was discovered using mlx4 driver [2], but I suspect loopback
might trigger the same bug now we use order-3 pages in tcp_sendmsg()
[1] Failure is giving following messages.
huh, entered softirq 3 NET_RX ffffffff806ad230 preempt_count 00000100,
exited with 00000101?
[2] mlx4 driver uses order-2 pages to allocate RX frags

EXPORT_SYMBOL and inline directives are contradictory to each other.
The patch fixes this inconsistency.

Rather than having logic to calculate inner protocol in every
tunnel gso handler move it to gso code. This simplifies code.

Now that vfree() can be called from interrupt contexts, there's no
need to play games with schedule_work() to escape calling vfree()
from RCU callbacks.
