Shmulik Ladkani c81aa79794 Documentation/networking: more accurate LCO explanation
In few places the term "ones-complement sum" was used but the actual
meaning is "the complement of the ones-complement sum".

Also, avoid enclosing long statements with underscore, to ease
readability.

David Ahern 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
        inet6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe79:34bd/64 scope link
           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.

    $ 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

        inet6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe79:34bd/64 scope link

Sven Eckelmann dfdfc2beb0 mac80211: Parse legacy and HT rate in injected frames
Drivers/devices without their own rate control algorithm can get the
information what rates they should use from either the radiotap header of
injected frames or from the rate control algorithm. But the parsing of the
legacy rate information from the radiotap header was removed in commit
e6a9854b05 ("mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control API").

The removal of this feature heavily reduced the usefulness of frame
injection when wanting to simulate specific transmission behavior. Having
rate parsing together with MCS rates and retry support allows a fine
grained selection of the tx behavior of injected frames for these kind of
tests.

Florian Westphal d1b4c689d4 netlink: remove mmapped netlink support
mmapped netlink has a number of unresolved issues:

- TX zerocopy support had to be disabled more than a year ago via
  commit 4682a03586 ("netlink: Always copy on mmap TX.")
  because the content of the mmapped area can change after netlink
  attribute validation but before message processing.

- RX support was implemented mainly to speed up nfqueue dumping packet
  payload to userspace.  However, since commit ae08ce0021
  ("netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: zero copy support") we avoid one copy
  with the socket-based interface too (via the skb_zerocopy helper).

The other problem is that skbs attached to mmaped netlink socket
behave different from normal skbs:

- they don't have a shinfo area, so all functions that use skb_shinfo()
(e.g. skb_clone) cannot be used.

- reserving headroom prevents userspace from seeing the content as
it expects message to start at skb->head.
See for instance
commit aa3a022094 ("netlink: not trim skb for mmaped socket when dump").

- skbs handed e.g. to netlink_ack must have non-NULL skb->sk, else we
crash because it needs the sk to check if a tx ring is attached.

Also not obvious, leads to non-intuitive bug fixes such as 7c7bdf359
("netfilter: nfnetlink: use original skbuff when acking batches").

mmaped netlink also didn't play nicely with the skb_zerocopy helper
used by nfqueue and openvswitch.  Daniel Borkmann fixed this via
commit 6bb0fef489 ("netlink, mmap: fix edge-case leakages in nf queue
zero-copy")' but at the cost of also needing to provide remaining
length to the allocation function.

nfqueue also has problems when used with mmaped rx netlink:
- mmaped netlink doesn't allow use of nfqueue batch verdict messages.
  Problem is that in the mmap case, the allocation time also determines
  the ordering in which the frame will be seen by userspace (A
  allocating before B means that A is located in earlier ring slot,
  but this also means that B might get a lower sequence number then A
  since seqno is decided later.  To fix this we would need to extend the
  spinlocked region to also cover the allocation and message setup which
  isn't desirable.
- nfqueue can now be configured to queue large (GSO) skbs to userspace.
  Queing GSO packets is faster than having to force a software segmentation
  in the kernel, so this is a desirable option.  However, with a mmap based
  ring one has to use 64kb per ring slot element, else mmap has to fall back
  to the socket path (NL_MMAP_STATUS_COPY) for all large packets.

To use the mmap interface, userspace not only has to probe for mmap netlink
support, it also has to implement a recv/socket receive path in order to
handle messages that exceed the size of an rx ring element.

David Ahern 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.

Steffen Klassert says:

====================
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.

Please pull or let me know if there are problems.

Yuchung Cheng 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.

Yuchung Cheng 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.

Paolo Abeni 02a6d6136f Revert "ipv4/icmp: redirect messages can use the ingress daddr as source"
Revert the commit e2ca690b65 ("ipv4/icmp: redirect messages
can use the ingress daddr as source"), which tried to introduce a more
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.

Paolo Abeni 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.

Steffen Klassert 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.
