tipc: some small fixes

During extensive testing and analysis of running dual links between
nodes, we have encountered some issues that potentially may cause
problems. We choose to fix those proactively in this series.
====================
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When a new link instance is created, it is trigged to start by
sending it a TIPC_STARTING_EVT, whereafter a regular link
reset is applied to it.

The starting event is codewise treated as a timeout event, and prompts
a link RESET message to be sent to the peer node, carrying a link
session identifier. The later link_reset() call nudges this session
identifier, whereafter all subsequent RESET messages will be sent out
with the new identifier. The latter session number overrides the former,
causing the peer to unconditionally accept it irrespective of its
current working state.

We don't think that this causes any problem, but it is not in accordance
with the protocol spec, and may cause confusion when debugging TIPC
sessions.

To avoid this, we make the starting event distinct from the
subsequent timeout events, by not allowing the former to send
out any RESET message. This eliminates the described problem.

Instances of struct node are created in the function tipc_disc_rcv()
under the assumption that there is no race between received discovery
messages arriving from the same node. This assumption is wrong.
When we use more than one bearer, it is possible that discovery
messages from the same node arrive at the same moment, resulting in
creation of two instances of struct tipc_node. This may later cause
confusion during link establishment, and may result in one of the links
never becoming activated.

We fix this by making lookup and potential creation of nodes atomic.
Instead of first looking up the node, and in case of failure, create it,
we now start with looking up the node inside node_link_create(), and
return a reference to that one if found. Otherwise, we go ahead and
create the node as we did before.

During link failover it may happen that the remaining link goes
down while it is still in the process of taking over traffic
from a previously failed link. When this happens, we currently
abort the failover procedure and reset the first failed link to
non-failover mode, so that it will be ready to re-establish
contact with its peer when it comes available.

However, if the first link goes down because its bearer was manually
disabled, it is not enough to reset it; it must also be deleted;
which is supposed to happen when the failover procedure is finished.
Otherwise it will remain a zombie link: attached to the owner node
structure, in mode LINK_STOPPED, and permanently blocking any re-
establishing of the link to the peer via the interface in question.

We fix this by amending the failover abort procedure. Apart from
resetting the link to non-failover state, we test if the link is
also in LINK_STOPPED mode. If so, we delete it, using the conditional
tipc_link_delete() function introduced in the previous commit.

When a bearer is disabled, all pertaining links will be reset and
deleted. However, if there is a second active link towards a killed
link's destination, the delete has to be postponed until the failover
is finished. During this interval, we currently put the link in zombie
mode, i.e., we take it out of traffic, delete its timer, but leave it
attached to the owner node structure until all missing packets have
been received.  When this is done, we detach the link from its node
and delete it, assuming that the synchronous timer deletion that was
initiated earlier in a different thread has finished.

This is unsafe, as the failover may finish before del_timer_sync()
has returned in the other thread.

We fix this by adding an atomic reference counter of type kref in
struct tipc_link. The counter keeps track of the references kept
to the link by the owner node and the timer. We then do a conditional
delete, based on the reference counter, both after the failover has
been finished and when the timer expires, if applicable. Whoever
comes last, will actually delete the link. This approach also implies
that we can make the deletion of the timer asynchronous.

A typical qdisc setup is the following :

bond0 : bonding device, using HTB hierarchy
eth1/eth2 : slaves, multiqueue NIC, using MQ + FQ qdisc

XPS allows to spread packets on specific tx queues, based on the cpu
doing the send.

Problem is that dequeues from bond0 qdisc can happen on random cpus,
due to the fact that qdisc_run() can dequeue a batch of packets.

CPUA -> queue packet P1 on bond0 qdisc, P1->ooo_okay=1
CPUA -> queue packet P2 on bond0 qdisc, P2->ooo_okay=0

CPUB -> dequeue packet P1 from bond0
        enqueue packet on eth1/eth2
CPUC -> dequeue packet P2 from bond0
        enqueue packet on eth1/eth2 using sk cache (ooo_okay is 0)

get_xps_queue() then might select wrong queue for P1, since current cpu
might be different than CPUA.

P2 might be sent on the old queue (stored in sk->sk_tx_queue_mapping),
if CPUC runs a bit faster (or CPUB spins a bit on qdisc lock)

Effect of this bug is TCP reorders, and more generally not optimal
TX queue placement. (A victim bulk flow can be migrated to the wrong TX
queue for a while)

To fix this, we have to record sender cpu number the first time
dev_queue_xmit() is called for one tx skb.

We can union napi_id (used on receive path) and sender_cpu,
granted we clear sender_cpu in skb_scrub_packet() (credit to Willem for
this union idea)

One deployment requirement of DCTCP is to be able to run
in a DC setting along with TCP traffic. As Glenn Judd's
NSDI'15 paper "Attaining the Promise and Avoiding the Pitfalls
of TCP in the Datacenter" [1] (tba) explains, one way to
solve this on switch side is to split DCTCP and TCP traffic
in two queues per switch port based on the DSCP: one queue
soley intended for DCTCP traffic and one for non-DCTCP traffic.

For the DCTCP queue, there's the marking threshold K as
explained in commit e3118e83 ("net: tcp: add DCTCP congestion
control algorithm") for RED marking ECT(0) packets with CE.
For the non-DCTCP queue, there's f.e. a classic tail drop queue.
As already explained in e3118e83, running DCTCP at scale
when not marking SYN/SYN-ACK packets with ECT(0) has severe
consequences as for non-ECT(0) packets, traversing the RED
marking DCTCP queue will result in a severe reduction of
connection probability.

This is due to the DCTCP queue being dominated by ECT(0) traffic
and switches handle non-ECT traffic in the RED marking queue
after passing K as drops, where K is usually a low watermark
in order to leave enough tailroom for bursts. Splitting DCTCP
traffic among several queues (ECN and non-ECN queue) is being
considered a terrible idea in the network community as it
splits single flows across multiple network paths.

Therefore, commit e3118e83 implements this on Linux as
ECT(0) marked traffic, as we argue that marking all packets
of a DCTCP flow is the only viable solution and also doesn't
speak against the draft.

However, recently, a DCTCP implementation for FreeBSD hit also
their mainline kernel [2]. In order to let them play well
together with Linux' DCTCP, we would need to loosen the
requirement that ECT(0) has to be asserted during the 3WHS as
not implemented in FreeBSD. This simplifies the ECN test and
lets DCTCP work together with FreeBSD.

Joint work with Daniel Borkmann.

net-timestamp: blinding

Changes
  (v2 -> v3)
  - rebase only: v2 did not make it to patchwork / netdev
  (v1 -> v2)
  - fix capability check in patch 2
      this could be moved into net/core/sock.c as sk_capable_nouser()
  (rfc -> v1)
  - dropped patch 4: timestamp batching
      due to complexity, as discussed
  - dropped patch 5: default mode
      because it does not really cover all use cases, as discussed
  - added documentation
  - minor fix, see patch 2

Two issues were raised during recent timestamping discussions:
1. looping full packets on the error queue exposes packet headers
2. TCP timestamping with retransmissions generates many timestamps

This RFC patchset is an attempt at addressing both without breaking
legacy behavior.

Patch 1 reintroduces the "no payload" timestamp option, which loops
timestamps onto an empty skb. This reduces the pressure on SO_RCVBUF
from looping many timestamps. It does not reduce the number of recv()
calls needed to process them. The timestamp cookie mechanism developed
in http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/427213/ did, but this is
considerably simpler.

Patch 2 then gives administrators the power to block all timestamp
requests that contain data by unprivileged users. I proposed this
earlier as a backward compatible workaround in the discussion of

  net-timestamp: pull headers for SOCK_STREAM
  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/414810/

Patch 3 only updates the txtimestamp example to test this option.
Verified that with option '-n', length is zero in all cases and
option '-I' (PKTINFO) stops working.

Tx timestamps are looped onto the error queue on top of an skb. This
mechanism leaks packet headers to processes unless the no-payload
options SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY is set.

Add a sysctl that optionally drops looped timestamp with data. This
only affects processes without CAP_NET_RAW.

The policy is checked when timestamps are generated in the stack.
It is possible for timestamps with data to be reported after the
sysctl is set, if these were queued internally earlier.

No vulnerability is immediately known that exploits knowledge
gleaned from packet headers, but it may still be preferable to allow
administrators to lock down this path at the cost of possible
breakage of legacy applications.

Changes
  (v1 -> v2)
  - test socket CAP_NET_RAW instead of capable(CAP_NET_RAW)
  (rfc -> v1)
  - document the sysctl in Documentation/sysctl/net.txt
  - fix access control race: read .._OPT_TSONLY only once,
        use same value for permission check and skb generation.
