Currently, only 'bearer_lock' is used to protect struct link_req in
the function disc_timeout(). This is unsafe, since the member fields
'num_nodes' and 'timer_intv' might be accessed by below three different
threads simultaneously, none of them grabbing bearer_lock in the
critical region:
link_activate()
tipc_bearer_add_dest()
tipc_disc_add_dest()
req->num_nodes++;
tipc_link_reset()
tipc_bearer_remove_dest()
tipc_disc_remove_dest()
req->num_nodes--
disc_update()
read req->num_nodes
write req->timer_intv
disc_timeout()
read req->num_nodes
read/write req->timer_intv
Without lock protection, the only symptom of a race is that discovery
messages occasionally may not be sent out. This is not fatal, since such
messages are best-effort anyway. On the other hand, since discovery
messages are not time critical, adding a protecting lock brings no
serious overhead either. So we add a new, dedicated spinlock in
order to guarantee absolute data consistency in link_req objects.
This also helps reduce the overall role of the bearer_lock, which
we want to remove completely in a later commit series.

The flag 'has_redundant_link' is defined only in RESET and ACTIVATE
protocol messages. Due to an ambiguity in the protocol specification it
is currently also transferred in STATE messages. Its value is used to
initialize a link state variable, 'permit_changeover', which is used
to inhibit futile link failover attempts when it is known that the
peer node has no working links at the moment, although the local node
may still think it has one.
The fact that 'has_redundant_link' incorrectly is read from STATE
messages has the effect that 'permit_changeover' sometimes gets a wrong
value, and permanently blocks any links from being re-established. Such
failures can only occur in in dual-link systems, and are extremely rare.
This bug seems to have always been present in the code.
Furthermore, since commit b4b5610223
("tipc: Ensure both nodes recognize loss of contact between them"),
the 'permit_changeover' field serves no purpose any more. The task of
enforcing 'lost contact' cycles at both peer endpoints is now taken
by a new mechanism, using the flags WAIT_NODE_DOWN and WAIT_PEER_DOWN
in struct tipc_node to abort unnecessary failover attempts.
We therefore remove the 'has_redundant_link' flag from STATE messages,
as well as the now redundant 'permit_changeover' variable.

The functionality related to link addition and failover is unnecessarily
hard to understand and maintain. We try to improve this by renaming
some of the functions, at the same time adding or improving the

align better with what is used in other networking components.

This patch built on top of Commit 299603e837
("net-gro: Prepare GRO stack for the upcoming tunneling support") to add
the support of the standard GRE (RFC1701/RFC2784/RFC2890) to the GRO
stack. It also serves as an example for supporting other encapsulation
protocols in the GRO stack in the future.
The patch supports version 0 and all the flags (key, csum, seq#) but
will flush any pkt with the S (seq#) flag. This is because the S flag
is not support by GSO, and a GRO pkt may end up in the forwarding path,
thus requiring GSO support to break it up correctly.
Currently the "packet_offload" structure only contains L3 (ETH_P_IP/
ETH_P_IPV6) GRO offload support so the encapped pkts are limited to
IP pkts (i.e., w/o L2 hdr). But support for other protocol type can
be easily added, so is the support for GRE variations like NVGRE.
The patch also support csum offload. Specifically if the csum flag is on
and the h/w is capable of checksumming the payload (CHECKSUM_COMPLETE),
the code will take advantage of the csum computed by the h/w when
validating the GRE csum.
Note that commit 60769a5dcd "ipv4: gre:
add GRO capability" already introduces GRO capability to IPv4 GRE
tunnels, using the gro_cells infrastructure. But GRO is done after
GRE hdr has been removed (i.e., decapped). The following patch applies
GRO when pkts first come in (before hitting the GRE tunnel code). There
is some performance advantage for applying GRO as early as possible.
Also this approach is transparent to other subsystem like Open vSwitch
where GRE decap is handled outside of the IP stack hence making it
harder for the gro_cells stuff to apply. On the other hand, some NICs
are still not capable of hashing on the inner hdr of a GRE pkt (RSS).
In that case the GRO processing of pkts from the same remote host will
all happen on the same CPU and the performance may be suboptimal.
I'm including some rough preliminary performance numbers below. Note
that the performance will be highly dependent on traffic load, mix as
usual. Moreover it also depends on NIC offload features hence the
following is by no means a comprehesive study. Local testing and tuning
will be needed to decide the best setting.
All tests spawned 50 copies of netperf TCP_STREAM and ran for 30 secs.
(super_netperf 50 -H 192.168.1.18 -l 30)
An IP GRE tunnel with only the key flag on (e.g., ip tunnel add gre1
mode gre local 10.246.17.18 remote 10.246.17.17 ttl 255 key 123)
is configured.
The GRO support for pkts AFTER decap are controlled through the device
feature of the GRE device (e.g., ethtool -K gre1 gro on/off).

The following tests were performed on a different NIC that is capable of
csum offload. I.e., the h/w is capable of computing IP payload csum
(CHECKSUM_COMPLETE).

br_multicast_set_hash_max() is called from process context in
net/bridge/br_sysfs_br.c by the sysfs store_hash_max() function.
br_multicast_set_hash_max() calls spin_lock(&br->multicast_lock),
which can deadlock the CPU if a softirq that also tries to take the
same lock interrupts br_multicast_set_hash_max() while the lock is
held . This can happen quite easily when any of the bridge multicast
timers expire, which try to take the same lock.
The fix here is to use spin_lock_bh(), preventing other softirqs from
executing on this CPU.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a bridge with several interfaces (I used 4).
2. Set the "multicast query interval" to a low number, like 2.
3. Enable the bridge as a multicast querier.
4. Repeatedly set the bridge hash_max parameter via sysfs.

Sathya Perla posted a patch trying to address following problem :
<quote>
The vxlan driver sets itself as the socket owner for all the TX flows
it encapsulates (using vxlan_set_owner()) and assigns it's own skb
destructor. This causes all tunneled traffic to land up on only one TXQ
as all encapsulated skbs refer to the vxlan socket and not the original
socket. Also, the vxlan skb destructor breaks some functionality for
tunneled traffic like wmem accounting and as TCP small queues and
FQ/pacing packet scheduler.
</quote>
I reworked Sathya patch and added some explanations.
vxlan_xmit() can avoid one skb_clone()/dev_kfree_skb() pair
and gain better drop monitor accuracy, by calling kfree_skb() when
appropriate.
The UDP socket used by vxlan to perform encapsulation of xmit packets
do not need to be alive while packets leave vxlan code. Its better
to keep original socket ownership to get proper feedback from qdisc and
NIC layers.
We use skb->sk to
A) control amount of bytes/packets queued on behalf of a socket, but
prior vxlan code did the skb->sk transfert without any limit/control
on vxlan socket sk_sndbuf.
B) security purposes (as selinux) or netfilter uses, and I do not think
anything is prepared to handle vxlan stacked case in this area.
By not changing ownership, vxlan tunnels behave like other tunnels.
As Stephen mentioned, we might do the same change in L2TP.

TCP out_of_order_queue lock is not used, as queue manipulation
happens with socket lock held and we therefore use the lockless
skb queue routines (as __skb_queue_head())
We can use __skb_queue_head_init() instead of skb_queue_head_init()
to make this more consistent.

It does not make sense to create an anycast address for an /128-prefix.
Suppress it.
As 32019e651c ("ipv6: Do not leave router anycast address for /127
prefixes.") shows we also may not leave them, because we could accidentally
remove an anycast address the user has allocated or got added via another
prefix.

The existing serial state notification handling expected older Option
devices, having a hardcoded assumption that the Modem port was always
USB interface #2. That isn't true for devices from the past few years.
hso_serial_state_notification is a local cache of a USB Communications
Interface Class SERIAL_STATE notification from the device, and the
USB CDC specification (section 6.3, table 67 "Class-Specific Notifications")
defines wIndex as the USB interface the event applies to. For hso
devices this will always be the Modem port, as the Modem port is the
only port which is set up to receive them by the driver.
So instead of always expecting USB interface #2, instead validate the
notification with the actual USB interface number of the Modem port.

Proportional Integral controller Enhanced (PIE) is a scheduler to address the
bufferbloat problem.
>From the IETF draft below:
" Bufferbloat is a phenomenon where excess buffers in the network cause high
latency and jitter. As more and more interactive applications (e.g. voice over
IP, real time video streaming and financial transactions) run in the Internet,
high latency and jitter degrade application performance. There is a pressing
need to design intelligent queue management schemes that can control latency and
jitter; and hence provide desirable quality of service to users.
We present here a lightweight design, PIE(Proportional Integral controller
Enhanced) that can effectively control the average queueing latency to a target
value. Simulation results, theoretical analysis and Linux testbed results have
shown that PIE can ensure low latency and achieve high link utilization under
various congestion situations. The design does not require per-packet
timestamp, so it incurs very small overhead and is simple enough to implement
in both hardware and software. "

nftables updates for net-next
The following patchset contains nftables updates for your net-next tree,
they are:
* Add set operation to the meta expression by means of the select_ops()
infrastructure, this allows us to set the packet mark among other things.
From Arturo Borrero Gonzalez.
* Fix wrong format in sscanf in nf_tables_set_alloc_name(), from Daniel
Borkmann.
* Add new queue expression to nf_tables. These comes with two previous patches
to prepare this new feature, one to add mask in nf_tables_core to
evaluate the queue verdict appropriately and another to refactor common
code with xt_NFQUEUE, from Eric Leblond.
* Do not hide nftables from Kconfig if nfnetlink is not enabled, also from
Eric Leblond.
* Add the reject expression to nf_tables, this adds the missing TCP RST
support. It comes with an initial patch to refactor common code with
xt_NFQUEUE, again from Eric Leblond.
* Remove an unused variable assignment in nf_tables_dump_set(), from Michal
Nazarewicz.
* Remove the nft_meta_target code, now that Arturo added the set operation
to the meta expression, from me.
* Add help information for nf_tables to Kconfig, also from me.
* Allow to dump all sets by specifying NFPROTO_UNSPEC, similar feature is
available to other nf_tables objects, requested by Arturo, from me.
* Expose the table usage counter, so we can know how many chains are using
this table without dumping the list of chains, from Tomasz Bursztyka.
