ipv4: Should use consistent conditional judgement for ip fragment in __ip_append_data and ip_finish_output

There is an inconsistent conditional judgement in __ip_append_data and
ip_finish_output functions, the variable length in __ip_append_data just
include the length of application's payload and udp header, don't include
the length of ip header, but in ip_finish_output use
(skb->len > ip_skb_dst_mtu(skb)) as judgement, and skb->len include the
length of ip header.

That causes some particular application's udp payload whose length is
between (MTU - IP Header) and MTU were fragmented by ip_fragment even
though the rst->dev support UFO feature.

Add the length of ip header to length in __ip_append_data to keep
consistent conditional judgement as ip_finish_output for ip fragment.

A user may call listen with binding an explicit port with the intent
that the kernel will assign an available port to the socket. In this
case inet_csk_get_port does a port scan. For such sockets, the user may
also set soreuseport with the intent a creating more sockets for the
port that is selected. The problem is that the initial socket being
opened could inadvertently choose an existing and unreleated port
number that was already created with soreuseport.

This patch adds a boolean parameter to inet_bind_conflict that indicates
rather soreuseport is allowed for the check (in addition to
sk->sk_reuseport). In calls to inet_bind_conflict from inet_csk_get_port
the argument is set to true if an explicit port is being looked up (snum
argument is nonzero), and is false if port scan is done.

inet_csk_get_port is called with port number (snum argument) that may be
zero or nonzero. If it is zero, then the intent is to find an available
ephemeral port number to bind to. If snum is non-zero then the caller
is asking to allocate a specific port number. In the latter case we
never want to perform the scan in ephemeral port range. It is
conceivable that this can happen if the "goto again" in "tb_found:"
is done. This patch adds a check that snum is zero before doing
the "goto again".

In flood situations, keeping sk_rmem_alloc at a high value

If udp_recvmsg() constantly releases sk_rmem_alloc

producers to immediately grab spinlocks and desperatly
try adding another packet, causing false sharing.

In UDP RX handler, we currently clear skb->dev before skb

available once we exit from RCU section.

Idea of busylocks is to let producers grab an extra spinlock
to relieve pressure on the receive_queue spinlock shared by consumer.

This behavior is requested only once socket receive queue is above
half occupancy.

Under flood, this means that only one producer can be in line
trying to acquire the receive_queue spinlock.

These busylock can be allocated on a per cpu manner, instead of a
per socket one (that would consume a cache line per socket)

This patch considerably improves UDP behavior under stress,
depending on number of NIC RX queues and/or RPS spread.

Under UDP flood, many softirq producers try to add packets to
UDP receive queue, and one user thread is burning one cpu trying
to dequeue packets as fast as possible.

Two parts of the per packet cost are :
- copying payload from kernel space to user space,
- freeing memory pieces associated with skb.

If socket is under pressure, softirq handler(s) can try to pull in
skb->head the payload of the packet if it fits.

Meaning the softirq handler(s) can free/reuse the page fragment
immediately, instead of letting udp_recvmsg() do this hundreds of usec
later, possibly from another node.

Additional gains :
- We reduce skb->truesize and thus can store more packets per SO_RCVBUF
- We avoid cache line misses at copyout() time and consume_skb() time,
and avoid one put_page() with potential alien freeing on NUMA hosts.

This comes at the cost of a copy, bounded to available tail room, which
is usually small. (We might have to fix GRO_MAX_HEAD which looks bigger
than necessary)

This patch gave me about 5 % increase in throughput in my tests.

skb_condense() helper could probably used in other contexts.

This should speed up rule evaluation by increasing data locality,

nf_defrag modules for ipv4 and ipv6 export an empty stub function.
Any module that needs the defragmentation hooks registered simply 'calls'
this empty function to create a phony module dependency -- modprobe will
then load the defrag module too.

This extends netfilter ipv4/ipv6 defragmentation modules to delay the hook
registration until the functionality is requested within a network namespace
instead of module load time for all namespaces.

Hooks are only un-registered on module unload or when a namespace that used
such defrag functionality exits.

We have to use struct net for this as the register hooks can be called
before netns initialization here from the ipv4/ipv6 conntrack module
init path.

There is no unregister functionality support, defrag will always be
active once it was requested inside a net namespace.

The reason is that defrag has impact on nft and iptables rulesets
(without defrag we might see framents).

Neal Cardwell says:
 If I am reading the code correctly, then I would have two concerns:
 1) Has that been tested? That seems like an extremely dramatic
    decrease in cwnd. For example, if the cwnd is 80, and there are 40
    ACKs, and half the ACKs are ECE marked, then my back-of-the-envelope
    calculations seem to suggest that after just 11 ACKs the cwnd would be
    down to a minimal value of 2 [..]
 2) That seems to contradict another passage in the draft [..] where it
    sazs:
       Just as specified in [RFC3168], DCTCP does not react to congestion
       indications more than once for every window of data.

Neal is right.  Fortunately we don't have to complicate this by testing
vs. current rtt estimate, we can just revert the patch.

Normal stack already handles this for us: receiving ACKs with ECE
set causes a call to tcp_enter_cwr(), from there on the ssthresh gets
adjusted and prr will take care of cwnd adjustment.

There have been some reports lately about TCP connection stalls caused
by NIC drivers that aren't setting gso_size on aggregated packets on rx
path. This causes TCP to assume that the MSS is actually the size of the
aggregated packet, which is invalid.

Although the proper fix is to be done at each driver, it's often hard
and cumbersome for one to debug, come to such root cause and report/fix
it.

This patch amends this situation in two ways. First, it adds a warning
on when this situation occurs, so it gives a hint to those trying to
debug this. It also limit the maximum probed MSS to the adverised MSS,
as it should never be any higher than that.

The result is that the connection may not have the best performance ever
but it shouldn't stall, and the admin will have a hint on what to look
for.

Tested with virtio by forcing gso_size to 0.

drop it.  Instead just pass the suffix and work with that.

Since we dropped the leaf there is no need to include that in the name so
the names are updated to node_push_suffix and node_pull_suffix.

Finally I noticed that the logic for pulling the suffix length back
actually had some issues.  Specifically it would stop prematurely if there
was a longer suffix, but it was not as long as the original suffix.  I
updated the code to address that in node_pull_suffix.

MASQUERADE, S/DNAT and REDIRECT already call functions that depend on the

However, since the conntrack hooks are now registered in a lazy fashion
(i.e., only when needed) a symbol reference is not enough.

Thus, when something is added to a nat table, make sure that it will see
packets by calling nf_ct_netns_get() which will register the conntrack
hooks in the current netns.

An alternative would be to add these dependencies to the NAT table.

However, that has problems when using non-modular builds -- we might
register e.g. ipv6 conntrack before its initcall has run, leading to NULL
deref crashes since its per-netns storage has not yet been allocated.

Adding the dependency in the modules instead has the advantage that nat
table also does not register its hooks until rules are added.

Commit b90eb754 ("fib: introduce FIB notification infrastructure")
introduced a new notification chain to notify listeners (f.e., switchdev
drivers) about addition and deletion of routes.

However, upon registration to the chain the FIB tables can already be
populated, which means potential listeners will have an incomplete view
of the tables.

Solve that by dumping the FIB tables and replaying the events to the
passed notification block. The dump itself is done using RCU in order
not to starve consumers that need RTNL to make progress.

The integrity of the dump is ensured by reading the FIB change sequence
counter before and after the dump under RTNL. This allows us to avoid
the problematic situation in which the dumping process sends a ENTRY_ADD
notification following ENTRY_DEL generated by another process holding
RTNL.

Callers of the registration function may pass a callback that is
executed in case the dump was inconsistent with current FIB tables.

The number of retries until a consistent dump is achieved is set to a
fixed number to prevent callers from looping for long periods of time.
In case current limit proves to be problematic in the future, it can be
easily converted to be configurable using a sysctl.

The next patch will enable listeners of the FIB notification chain to
request a dump of the FIB tables. However, since RTNL isn't taken during
the dump, it's possible for the FIB tables to change mid-dump, which
will result in inconsistency between the listener's table and the
kernel's.

Allow listeners to know about changes that occurred mid-dump, by adding
a change sequence counter to each net namespace. The counter is
