After installing a route to the kernel, user space receives an
acknowledgment, which means the route was installed in the kernel,
but not necessarily in hardware.

The asynchronous nature of route installation in hardware can lead
to a routing daemon advertising a route before it was actually installed in
hardware. This can result in packet loss or mis-routed packets until the
route is installed in hardware.

It is also possible for a route already installed in hardware to change
its action and therefore its flags. For example, a host route that is
trapping packets can be "promoted" to perform decapsulation following
the installation of an IPinIP/VXLAN tunnel.

Emit RTM_NEWROUTE notifications whenever RTM_F_OFFLOAD/RTM_F_TRAP flags
are changed. The aim is to provide an indication to user-space
(e.g., routing daemons) about the state of the route in hardware.

Introduce a sysctl that controls this behavior.

Keep the default value at 0 (i.e., do not emit notifications) for several
reasons:
- Multiple RTM_NEWROUTE notification per-route might confuse existing
  routing daemons.
- Convergence reasons in routing daemons.
- The extra notifications will negatively impact the insertion rate.
- Not all users are interested in these notifications.

For IPv4, default route is learned via DHCPv4 and user is allowed to change
metric using config etc/network/interfaces. But for IPv6, default route can
be learned via RA, for which, currently a fixed metric value 1024 is used.

Ideally, user should be able to configure metric on default route for IPv6
similar to IPv4. This patch adds sysctl for the same.

Logs:

For IPv4:

Config in etc/network/interfaces:
auto eth0

IPv4 Kernel Route Table:
$ ip route list

FRR Table, if a static route is configured:
[In real scenario, it is useful to prefer BGP learned default route over DHCPv4 default route.]
Codes: K - kernel route, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP,
       O - OSPF, I - IS-IS, B - BGP, P - PIM, E - EIGRP, N - NHRP,
       T - Table, v - VNC, V - VNC-Direct, A - Babel, D - SHARP,

K   0.0.0.0/0 [254/1000] via 172.21.47.1, eth0, 6d08h51m

i.e. User can prefer Default Router learned via Routing Protocol in IPv4.
Similar behavior is not possible for IPv6, without this fix.

After fix [for IPv6]:
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.net.ipv6.conf.eth0.ra_defrtr_metric=1996489705

IP monitor: [When IPv6 RA is received]

FRR Table, if a static route is configured:
[In real scenario, it is useful to prefer BGP learned default route over IPv6 RA default route.]
Codes: K - kernel route, C - connected, S - static, R - RIPng,

If the metric is changed later, the effect will be seen only when next IPv6
RA is received, because the default route must be fully controlled by RA msg.
Below metric is changed from 1996489705 to 1996489704.

$ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.ra_defrtr_metric=1996489704

Introduced in 0eeb075f, the "ignore_routes_with_linkdown" sysctl
ignores a route whose interface is down. It is provided as a
per-interface sysctl. However, while a "all" variant is exposed, it
was a noop since it was never evaluated. We use the usual "or" logic
for this kind of sysctls.

Tested with:

    ip link add type veth # veth0 + veth1
    ip link add type veth # veth1 + veth2
    ip link set up dev veth0
    ip link set up dev veth1 # link-status paired with veth0
    ip link set up dev veth2
    ip link set up dev veth3 # link-status paired with veth2

    for v in ipv4 ipv6; do
      case $uts in
        H1)

          sysctl -qw net.${v}.conf.veth0.ignore_routes_with_linkdown=1
          ;;
      esac
    done

    set -xe
    # When veth0 is up, best route is through veth0
    ip -o route get 198.51.100.1 | grep -Fw veth0
    ip -o route get 2001:db8:3::1 | grep -Fw veth0

    # When veth0 is down, best route should be through veth2 on H1/H2,
    # but on veth0 on H2
    ip link set down dev veth1 # down veth0
    ip route show
    [ $uts != H3 ] || ip -o route get 198.51.100.1 | grep -Fw veth0

    [ $uts = H3 ] || ip -o route get 2001:db8:3::1 | grep -Fw veth2

Without this patch, the two last lines would fail on H1 (the one using
the "all" sysctl). With the patch, everything succeeds as expected.

Implement the upcoming rev of RFC4941 (IPv6 temporary addresses):
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6man-rfc4941bis-09

* Reduces the default Valid Lifetime to 2 days
  The number of extra addresses employed when Valid Lifetime was
  7 days exacerbated the stress caused on network
  elements/devices. Additionally, the motivation for temporary
  addresses is indeed privacy and reduced exposure. With a
  default Valid Lifetime of 7 days, an address that becomes
  revealed by active communication is reachable and exposed for
  one whole week. The only use case for a Valid Lifetime of 7
  days could be some application that is expecting to have long
  lived connections. But if you want to have a long lived
  connections, you shouldn't be using a temporary address in the
  first place. Additionally, in the era of mobile devices, general
  applications should nevertheless be prepared and robust to
  address changes (e.g. nodes swap wifi <-> 4G, etc.)

* Employs different IIDs for different prefixes
  To avoid network activity correlation among addresses configured
  for different prefixes

* Uses a simpler algorithm for IID generation

Current route nexthop API maintains user space compatibility
with old route API by default. Dumps and netlink notifications
support both new and old API format. In systems which have
moved to the new API, this compatibility mode cancels some
of the performance benefits provided by the new nexthop API.

This patch adds new sysctl nexthop_compat_mode which is on
by default but provides the ability to turn off compatibility
mode allowing systems to run entirely with the new routing
API. Old route API behaviour and support is not modified by this
sysctl.

Commit aacd9289 ("tcp: bind() use stronger
condition for bind_conflict") introduced a restriction to forbid to bind
SO_REUSEADDR enabled sockets to the same (addr, port) tuple in order to
assign ports dispersedly so that we can connect to the same remote host.

The change results in accelerating port depletion so that we fail to bind
sockets to the same local port even if we want to connect to the different
remote hosts.

You can reproduce this issue by following instructions below.

  1. # sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range="32768 32768"
  2. set SO_REUSEADDR to two sockets.
  3. bind two sockets to (localhost, 0) and the latter fails.

Therefore, when ephemeral ports are exhausted, bind(0) should fallback to
the legacy behaviour to enable the SO_REUSEADDR option and make it possible
to connect to different remote (addr, port) tuples.

This patch allows us to bind SO_REUSEADDR enabled sockets to the same
(addr, port) only when net.ipv4.ip_autobind_reuse is set 1 and all
ephemeral ports are exhausted. This also allows connect() and listen() to
share ports in the following way and may break some applications. So the
ip_autobind_reuse is 0 by default and disables the feature.

  1. setsockopt(sk1, SO_REUSEADDR)
  2. setsockopt(sk2, SO_REUSEADDR)
  3. bind(sk1, saddr, 0)
  4. bind(sk2, saddr, 0)
  5. connect(sk1, daddr)
  6. listen(sk2)

If it is set 1, we can fully utilize the 4-tuples, but we should use
IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT for bind()+connect() as possible.

The notable thing is that if all sockets bound to the same port have
both SO_REUSEADDR and SO_REUSEPORT enabled, we can bind sockets to an
ephemeral port and also do listen().

This patch introduces a sysctl knob "net.ipv4.tcp_no_ssthresh_metrics_save"
that disables TCP ssthresh metrics cache by default. Other parts of TCP
metrics cache, e.g. rtt, cwnd, remain unchanged.

As modern networks becoming more and more dynamic, TCP metrics cache
today often causes more harm than benefits. For example, the same IP
address is often shared by different subscribers behind NAT in residential
networks. Even if the IP address is not shared by different users,
caching the slow-start threshold of a previous short flow using loss-based
congestion control (e.g. cubic) often causes the future longer flows of
the same network path to exit slow-start prematurely with abysmal
throughput.

Caching ssthresh is very risky and can lead to terrible performance.
Therefore it makes sense to make disabling ssthresh caching by
default and opt-in for specific networks by the administrators.
This practice also has worked well for several years of deployment with
CUBIC congestion control at Google.

This is a new feature defined in section 5 of rfc7829: "Primary Path
Switchover". By introducing a new tunable parameter:

  Primary.Switchover.Max.Retrans (PSMR)

The primary path will be changed to another active path when the path
error counter on the old primary path exceeds PSMR, so that "the SCTP
sender is allowed to continue data transmission on a new working path
even when the old primary destination address becomes active again".

This patch is to add this tunable parameter, 'ps_retrans' per netns,
sock, asoc and transport. It also allows a user to change ps_retrans
per netns by sysctl, and ps_retrans per sock/asoc/transport will be
initialized with it.

The check will be done in sctp_do_8_2_transport_strike() when this
feature is enabled.

Note this feature is disabled by initializing 'ps_retrans' per netns
as 0xffff by default, and its value can't be less than 'pf_retrans'
when changing by sysctl.

v3->v4:
  - add define SCTP_PS_RETRANS_MAX 0xffff, and use it on extra2 of
    sysctl 'ps_retrans'.
  - add a new entry for ps_retrans on ip-sysctl.txt.

As said in rfc7829, section 3, point 12:

  The SCTP stack SHOULD expose the PF state of its destination
  addresses to the ULP as well as provide the means to notify the
  ULP of state transitions of its destination addresses from
  active to PF, and vice versa.  However, it is recommended that
  an SCTP stack implementing SCTP-PF also allows for the ULP to be
  kept ignorant of the PF state of its destinations and the
  associated state transitions, thus allowing for retention of the
  simpler state transition model of [RFC4960] in the ULP.

Not only does it allow to expose the PF state to ULP, but also
allow to ignore sctp-pf to ULP.

So this patch is to add pf_expose per netns, sock and asoc. And in
sctp_assoc_control_transport(), ulp_notify will be set to false if
asoc->expose is not 'enabled' in next patch.

It also allows a user to change pf_expose per netns by sysctl, and
pf_expose per sock and asoc will be initialized with it.

Note that pf_expose also works for SCTP_GET_PEER_ADDR_INFO sockopt,
to not allow a user to query the state of a sctp-pf peer address
when pf_expose is 'disabled', as said in section 7.3.

v1->v2:
  - Fix a build warning noticed by Nathan Chancellor.
v2->v3:
  - set pf_expose to UNUSED by default to keep compatible with old
    applications.
v3->v4:
  - add a new entry for pf_expose on ip-sysctl.txt, as Marcelo suggested.
  - change this patch to 1/5, and move sctp_assoc_control_transport

SOMAXCONN is /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn default value.

It has been defined as 128 more than 20 years ago.

Since it caps the listen() backlog values, the very small value has
caused numerous problems over the years, and many people had
to raise it on their hosts after beeing hit by problems.

Google has been using 1024 for at least 15 years, and we increased
this to 4096 after TCP listener rework has been completed, more than
4 years ago. We got no complain of this change breaking any
legacy application.

Many applications indeed setup a TCP listener with listen(fd, -1);
meaning they let the system select the backlog.

Raising SOMAXCONN lowers chance of the port being unavailable under
even small SYNFLOOD attack, and reduces possibilities of side channel
vulnerabilities.

The current implementation of TCP MTU probing can considerably
underestimate the MTU on lossy connections allowing the MSS to get down to
48. We have found that in almost all of these cases on our networks these
paths can handle much larger MTUs meaning the connections are being
artificially limited. Even though TCP MTU probing can raise the MSS back up
we have seen this not to be the case causing connections to be "stuck" with
an MSS of 48 when heavy loss is present.

Prior to pushing out this change we could not keep TCP MTU probing enabled
b/c of the above reasons. Now with a reasonble floor set we've had it
enabled for the past 6 months.

The new sysctl will still default to TCP_MIN_SND_MSS (48), but gives
administrators the ability to control the floor of MSS probing.

Rename the /proc/sys/ documentation files to ReST, using the
README file as a template for an index.rst, adding the other
files there via TOC markup.

Despite being written on different times with different
styles, try to make them somewhat coherent with a similar
look and feel, ensuring that they'll look nice as both
raw text file and as via the html output produced by the
Sphinx build system.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

Make the same support as commit 363887a2 ("ipv4: Support multipath
hashing on inner IP pkts for GRE tunnel") for outer IPv6. The hashing
considers both IPv4 and IPv6 pkts when they are tunneled by IPv6 GRE.

Extend flowlabel_reflect bitmask to allow conditional
reflection of incoming flowlabels in echo replies.

Note this has precedence against auto flowlabels.

Add flowlabel_reflect enum to replace hard coded
values.

Some TCP peers announce a very small MSS option in their SYN and/or
SYN/ACK messages.

This forces the stack to send packets with a very high network/cpu
overhead.

Linux has enforced a minimal value of 48. Since this value includes
the size of TCP options, and that the options can consume up to 40
bytes, this means that each segment can include only 8 bytes of payload.

In some cases, it can be useful to increase the minimal value
to a saner value.

We still let the default to 48 (TCP_MIN_SND_MSS), for compatibility
reasons.

Note that TCP_MAXSEG socket option enforces a minimal value
of (TCP_MIN_MSS). David Miller increased this minimal value
in commit c39508d6 ("tcp: Make TCP_MAXSEG minimum more correct.")
from 64 to 88.

We might in the future merge TCP_MIN_SND_MSS and TCP_MIN_MSS.

Instead of relying on rps_needed, it is safer to use a separate
static key, since we do not want to enable TCP rx_skb_cache
by default. This feature can cause huge increase of memory
usage on hosts with millions of sockets.

Multipath hash policy value of 0 isn't distributing since the outer IP
dest and src aren't varied eventhough the inner ones are. Since the flow
is on the inner ones in the case of tunneled traffic, hashing on them is
desired.

This is done mainly for IP over GRE, hence only tested for that. But
anything else supported by flow dissection should work.

v2: Use skb_flow_dissect_flow_keys() directly so that other tunneling
    can be supported through flow dissection (per Nikolay Aleksandrov).
v3: Remove accidental inclusion of ports in the hash keys and clarify
    the documentation (Nikolay Alexandrov).

When RST packets are sent because no socket could be found,
it makes sense to use flowlabel_reflect sysctl to decide
if a reflection of the flowlabel is requested.

This extends commit 22b6722b ("ipv6: Add sysctl for per
namespace flow label reflection"), for some TCP RST packets.

In order to provide full control of this new feature,
flowlabel_reflect becomes a bitmask.
