While 3b529602 ("test_bpf: add more eBPF jump torture cases")
added the int3 bug test case only for eBPF, which needs exactly 11
passes to converge, here's a version for classic BPF with 11 passes,
and one that would need 70 passes on x86_64 to actually converge for
being successfully JITed. Effectively, all jumps are being optimized
out resulting in a JIT image of just 89 bytes (from originally max
BPF insns), only returning K.

Might be useful as a receipe for folks wanting to craft a test case
when backporting the fix in commit 3f7352bf ("x86: bpf_jit: fix
compilation of large bpf programs") while not having eBPF. The 2nd
one is delegated to the interpreter as the last pass still results
in shrinking, in other words, this one won't be JITed on x86_64.

sfc: add MCDI tracing

This patchset adds support for logging MCDI (Management-Controller-to-
 Driver Interface) interactions between the sfc driver and a bound device,
 to aid in debugging.
Solarflare has a tool to decode the resulting traces and will look to
 open-source this if there is any external interest, but the protocol is
 already detailed in drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/mcdi_pcol.h.
The logging buffer we allocate per MCDI context is a work area for
 constructing each individual message before logging it with netif_info.
The reason the buffer is long-lived is simply to avoid the overhead of
 allocating and freeing it every MCDI call, since MCDIs are already known
 to be serialised for other reasons.

As many issues are encountered at probe time, where MCDI logging can't be
 enabled through the sysfs node, this change adds a module parameter
 'mcdi_logging_default', which defaults to false.  When set to true, newly-

 subsequently be changed as normal through the sysfs node.

A long standing problem on busy servers is the tiny available TCP port
range (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range) and the default
sequential allocation of source ports in connect() system call.

If a host is having a lot of active TCP sessions, chances are
very high that all ports are in use by at least one flow,
and subsequent bind(0) attempts fail, or have to scan a big portion of
space to find a slot.

In this patch, I changed the starting point in __inet_hash_connect()
so that we try to favor even [1] ports, leaving odd ports for bind()
users.

We still perform a sequential search, so there is no guarantee, but
if connect() targets are very different, end result is we leave
more ports available to bind(), and we spread them all over the range,
lowering time for both connect() and bind() to find a slot.

This strategy only works well if /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range
is even, ie if start/end values have different parity.

Therefore, default /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range was changed to
32768 - 60999 (instead of 32768 - 61000)

There is no change on security aspects here, only some poor hashing
schemes could be eventually impacted by this change.

====================
net: force refragmentation for DF reassembed skbs

output path tests:

    if (skb->len > mtu) ip_fragment()

This breaks connectivity in one corner case:
 If the skb was reassembled, but has the DF bit set and ..
 .. its reassembled size is <= outdev mtu ..
 .. we will forward a DF packet larger than what the sender
    transmitted on wire.

If a router later in the path can't forward this packet, it will send an
icmp error in response to an mtu that the original sender never exceeded.

This changes ipv4 defrag/output path to

a) force refragmentation for DF reassembled skbs and
b) set DF bit on all fragments when refragmenting if it was set on original
frags.

tested via:
from scapy.all import *
dip="10.23.42.2"
payload="A"*1400
packet=IP(dst=dip,id=12345,flags='DF')/UDP(sport=42,dport=42)/payload
frags=fragment(packet,fragsize=1200)
for fragment in frags:
    send(fragment)

Without this patch, we generate fragments without df bit set based
on the outgoing device mtu when fragmenting after forwarding, ie.

IP (ttl 64, id 12345, offset 0, flags [+, DF], proto UDP (17), length 1204)
    192.168.7.1.42 > 10.23.42.2.42: UDP, length 1400
IP (ttl 64, id 12345, offset 1184, flags [DF], proto UDP (17), length 244)
    192.168.7.1 > 10.23.42.2: ip-proto-17

on ingress will either turn into

IP (ttl 63, id 12345, offset 0, flags [+], proto UDP (17), length 1396)
    192.168.7.1.42 > 10.23.42.2.42: UDP, length 1400
IP (ttl 63, id 12345, offset 1376, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 52)

(mtu 1400: We strip df and send larger fragment), or

IP (ttl 63, id 12345, offset 0, flags [DF], proto UDP (17), length 1428)
    192.168.7.1.42 > 10.23.42.2.42: [udp sum ok] UDP, length 1400

if mtu is 1500.  And in this case things break; router with a smaller mtu
will send icmp error, but original sender only sent packets <= 1204 byte.

With patch, we keep intent of such fragments and will emit DF-fragments
that won't exceed 1204 byte in size.

We currently always send fragments without DF bit set.

Thus, given following setup:

mtu1500 - mtu1500:1400 - mtu1400:1280 - mtu1280
   A           R1              R2         B

Where R1 and R2 run linux with netfilter defragmentation/conntrack
enabled, then if Host A sent a fragmented packet _with_ DF set to B, R1
will respond with icmp too big error if one of these fragments exceeded
1400 bytes.

However, if R1 receives fragment sizes 1200 and 100, it would
forward the reassembled packet without refragmenting, i.e.
R2 will send an icmp error in response to a packet that was never sent,
citing mtu that the original sender never exceeded.

The other minor issue is that a refragmentation on R1 will conceal the
MTU of R2-B since refragmentation does not set DF bit on the fragments.

This modifies ip_fragment so that we track largest fragment size seen
both for DF and non-DF packets, and set frag_max_size to the largest
value.

If the DF fragment size is larger or equal to the non-df one, we will
consider the packet a path mtu probe:
We set DF bit on the reassembled skb and also tag it with a new IPCB flag
to force refragmentation even if skb fits outdev mtu.

We will also set DF bit on each fragment in this case.

In commit dd3f9e70
("tipc: add packet sequence number at instant of transmission") we
made a change with the consequence that packets in the link backlog
queue don't contain valid sequence numbers.

However, when we create a link protocol message, we still use the
sequence number of the first packet in the backlog, if there is any,
as "next_sent" indicator in the message. This may entail unnecessary
retransissions or stale packet transmission when there is very low
traffic on the link.

This commit fixes this issue by only using the current value of
tipc_link::snd_nxt as indicator.

since commit 6aafeef0 ("netfilter: push reasm skb through instead of
original frag skbs") we will end up sometimes re-fragmenting skbs
that we've reassembled.

ipv6 defrag preserves the original skbs using the skb frag list, i.e. as long
as the skb frag list is preserved there is no problem since we keep
original geometry of fragments intact.

However, in the rare case where the frag list is munged or skb
is linearized, we might send larger fragments than what we originally
received.

A router in the path might then send packet-too-big errors even if
sender never sent fragments exceeding the reported mtu:

mtu 1500 - 1500:1400 - 1400:1280 - 1280
     A         R1         R2        B

1 - A sends to B, fragment size 1400
2 - R2 sends pkttoobig error for 1280
3 - A sends to B, fragment size 1280
4 - R2 sends pkttoobig error for 1280 again because it sees fragments of size 1400.

make sure ip6_fragment always caps MTU at largest packet size seen
when defragmented skb is forwarded.

- Move the /128 route bug fixes to another series (accepted).
- Create a function for checking (rt6i_flags & (RTF_NONEXTHOP | RTF_GATEWAY)).
- Avoid shuffling the skb network_header.  Instead, change the function
  signature to take iph instead of skb.

- Many Thanks to 'Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org>' on
  reviewing v1 and v2 and giving advice.

This series is to avoid creating a RTF_CACHE route whenever we are consulting
the fib6 tree with a new destination.  Instead, only create RTF_CACHE route
when we see a pmtu exception.

Out of all ipv6 RTF_CACHE routes that are created, the percentage that has a
different mtu is very small. In one of our end-user facing proxy server,
only 1k out of 80k RTF_CACHE routes have a smaller MTU.  For our DC
traffic, there is no mtu exception.

A large fib6 tree has problems like, 'ip -6 r show' takes a long time.
gc may kick in too often.  Also, when a service has restarted and a lot
of new TCP conn requests come in, it creates pressure on the tree by inserting
a lot of RTF_CACHE in a short time and it currently requires a write lock
to do that.

The first few patches are prep works to remove assumption that the
returned rt is always RTF_CACHE.

The patch 'ipv6: Only create RTF_CACHE routes after encountering pmtu exception'
do the lazy RTF_CACHE route creation.

The following patches added percpu rt to compensate the performance loss after
doing the RTF_CACHE lazy creation.

Here is some numbers of the udpflood test.  The udpflood has been
slightly modified to have a time limit instead of count limit.

A /64 via gateway route is used for the test. Each udpflood uses 10000 dst
addresses.  The dst addresses of different udpflood processes do not overlap
with each other.

After the patch
'ipv6: Only create RTF_CACHE routes after encountering pmtu exception',
we need to compensate the performance hit (bouncing dst->__refcnt).
