tcp_md5_do_lookup requires a full socket, so once we extend
_send_reset() to also accept timewait socket we would have to change

if (!sk && hash_location)

to something like

if ((!sk || !sk_fullsock(sk)) && hash_location) {
  ...
} else {
  (sk && sk_fullsock(sk)) tcp_md5_do_lookup()
}

Switch the two branches: check if we have a socket first, then
fall back to a listener lookup if we saw a md5 option (hash_location).

Allow accepted sockets to derive their sk_bound_dev_if setting from the
l3mdev domain in which the packets originated. A sysctl setting is added
to control the behavior which is similar to sk_mark and
sysctl_tcp_fwmark_accept.

This effectively allow a process to have a "VRF-global" listen socket,
with child sockets bound to the VRF device in which the packet originated.
A similar behavior can be achieved using sk_mark, but a solution using marks
is incomplete as it does not handle duplicate addresses in different L3
domains/VRFs. Allowing sockets to inherit the sk_bound_dev_if from l3mdev
domain provides a complete solution.

This implements SOCK_DESTROY for TCP sockets. It causes all
blocking calls on the socket to fail fast with ECONNABORTED and
causes a protocol close of the socket. It informs the other end
of the connection by sending a RST, i.e., initiating a TCP ABORT
as per RFC 793. ECONNABORTED was chosen for consistency with
FreeBSD.

David Wilder reported crashes caused by dst reuse.

<quote David>
  I am seeing a crash on a distro V4.2.3 kernel caused by a double
  release of a dst_entry.  In ipv4_dst_destroy() the call to
  list_empty() finds a poisoned next pointer, indicating the dst_entry
  has already been removed from the list and freed. The crash occurs
  18 to 24 hours into a run of a network stress exerciser.
</quote>

Thanks to his detailed report and analysis, we were able to understand
the core issue.

IP early demux can associate a dst to skb, after a lookup in TCP/UDP
sockets.

When socket cache is not properly set, we want to store into
sk->sk_dst_cache the dst for future IP early demux lookups,
by acquiring a stable refcount on the dst.

Problem is this acquisition is simply using an atomic_inc(),
which works well, unless the dst was queued for destruction from
dst_release() noticing dst refcount went to zero, if DST_NOCACHE
was set on dst.

We need to make sure current refcount is not zero before incrementing
it, or risk double free as David reported.

This patch, being a stable candidate, adds two new helpers, and use
them only from IP early demux problematic paths.

It might be possible to merge in net-next skb_dst_force() and
skb_dst_force_safe(), but I prefer having the smallest patch for stable
kernels : Maybe some skb_dst_force() callers do not expect skb->dst
can suddenly be cleared.

Can probably be backported back to linux-3.6 kernels

Multiple cpus can process duplicates of incoming ACK messages
matching a SYN_RECV request socket. This is a rare event under
normal operations, but definitely can happen.

Only one must win the race, otherwise corruption would occur.

To fix this without adding new atomic ops, we use logic in
inet_ehash_nolisten() to detect the request was present in the same
ehash bucket where we try to insert the new child.

If request socket was not found, we have to undo the child creation.

This actually removes a spin_lock()/spin_unlock() pair in
reqsk_queue_unlink() for the fast path.

When a TCP/DCCP listener is closed, its pending SYN_RECV request sockets
become stale, meaning 3WHS can not complete.

But current behavior is wrong :
incoming packets finding such stale sockets are dropped.

We need instead to cleanup the request socket and perform another
lookup :
- Incoming ACK will give a RST answer,
- SYN rtx might find another listener if available.
- We expedite cleanup of request sockets and old listener socket.

In this patch, we insert request sockets into TCP/DCCP
regular ehash table (where ESTABLISHED and TIMEWAIT sockets
are) instead of using the per listener hash table.

ACK packets find SYN_RECV pseudo sockets without having
to find and lock the listener.

In nominal conditions, this halves pressure on listener lock.

Note that this will allow for SO_REUSEPORT refinements,
so that we can select a listener using cpu/numa affinities instead
of the prior 'consistent hash', since only SYN packets will
apply this selection logic.

We will shrink listen_sock in the following patch to ease

Otherwise an other cpu could try to lock the spinlock before it gets
properly initialized.

Instead of adding appropriate barriers, just remove dynamic memory
allocations :
- Structure is 28 bytes on 64bit arches. Using additional 8 bytes
  for holding a pointer seems overkill.
- Two listeners can share same cache line and performance would suffer.

If we really want to save few bytes, we would instead dynamically allocate

This work as a follow-up of commit f7b3bec6 ("net: allow setting ecn
via routing table") and adds RFC3168 section 6.1.1.1. fallback for outgoing
ECN connections. In other words, this work adds a retry with a non-ECN
setup SYN packet, as suggested from the RFC on the first timeout:

  [...] A host that receives no reply to an ECN-setup SYN within the
  normal SYN retransmission timeout interval MAY resend the SYN and
  any subsequent SYN retransmissions with CWR and ECE cleared. [...]

Schematic client-side view when assuming the server is in tcp_ecn=2 mode,
that is, Linux default since 2009 via commit 255cac91 ("tcp: extend
ECN sysctl to allow server-side only ECN"):

 1) Normal ECN-capable path:

    SYN ECE CWR ----->
                <----- SYN ACK ECE
            ACK ----->

 2) Path with broken middlebox, when client has fallback:

    SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet
                      (timeout, rtx)
            SYN ----->
                <----- SYN ACK
            ACK ----->

In case we would not have the fallback implemented, the middlebox drop
point would basically end up as:

    SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet
                      (timeout, rtx)
    SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet
                      (timeout, rtx)
    SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet
                      (timeout, rtx)

In any case, it's rather a smaller percentage of sites where there would
occur such additional setup latency: it was found in end of 2014 that ~56%
of IPv4 and 65% of IPv6 servers of Alexa 1 million list would negotiate
ECN (aka tcp_ecn=2 default), 0.42% of these webservers will fail to connect
when trying to negotiate with ECN (tcp_ecn=1) due to timeouts, which the
fallback would mitigate with a slight latency trade-off. Recent related
paper on this topic:

  Brian Trammell, Mirja Kühlewind, Damiano Boppart, Iain Learmonth,
  Gorry Fairhurst, and Richard Scheffenegger:
    "Enabling Internet-Wide Deployment of Explicit Congestion Notification."
    Proc. PAM 2015, New York.
  http://ecn.ethz.ch/ecn-pam15.pdf

Thus, when net.ipv4.tcp_ecn=1 is being set, the patch will perform RFC3168,
section 6.1.1.1. fallback on timeout. For users explicitly not wanting this
which can be in DC use case, we add a net.ipv4.tcp_ecn_fallback knob that
allows for disabling the fallback.

tp->ecn_flags are not being cleared in tcp_ecn_clear_syn() on output, but
rather we let tcp_ecn_rcv_synack() take that over on input path in case a
SYN ACK ECE was delayed. Thus a spurious SYN retransmission will not prevent
ECN being negotiated eventually in that case.

This patch allows a server application to get the TCP SYN headers for
its passive connections.  This is useful if the server is doing
fingerprinting of clients based on SYN packet contents.

Two socket options are added: TCP_SAVE_SYN and TCP_SAVED_SYN.

The first is used on a socket to enable saving the SYN headers
for child connections. This can be set before or after the listen()
call.

The latter is used to retrieve the SYN headers for passive connections,
if the parent listener has enabled TCP_SAVE_SYN.

TCP_SAVED_SYN is read once, it frees the saved SYN headers.

The data returned in TCP_SAVED_SYN are network (IPv4/IPv6) and TCP
headers.

Original patch was written by Tom Herbert, I changed it to not hold
a full skb (and associated dst and conntracking reference).

We have used such patch for about 3 years at Google.

[ 3897.923145] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
 0000000000000080
[ 3897.931025] IP: [<ffffffffa9f27686>] reqsk_timer_handler+0x1a6/0x243

There is a race when reqsk_timer_handler() and tcp_check_req() call
inet_csk_reqsk_queue_unlink() on the same req at the same time.

Before commit fa76ce73 ("inet: get rid of central tcp/dccp listener
timer"), listener spinlock was held and race could not happen.

To solve this bug, we change reqsk_queue_unlink() to not assume req
must be found, and we return a status, to conditionally release a
refcount on the request sock.

This also means tcp_check_req() in non fastopen case might or not
consume req refcount, so tcp_v6_hnd_req() & tcp_v4_hnd_req() have
to properly handle this.

(Same remark for dccp_check_req() and its callers)

inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop() is now too big to be inlined, as it is
called 4 times in tcp and 3 times in dccp.

Fixes: fa76ce73 ("inet: get rid of central tcp/dccp listener timer")
