between fixes in 'net' and the u64 attribute changes in 'net-next'.

The mlx5 conflicts have to do with vxlan support dependencies.

An earlier patch changed lookup side to also net_eq() namespaces after
obtaining a reference on the conntrack, so a single kmemcache can be used.

We already include netns address in the hash, so we only need to use
net_eq in find_appropriate_src and can then put all entries into
same table.

We already include netns address in the hash and compare the netns pointers
during lookup, so even if namespaces have overlapping addresses entries
will be spread across the table.

Assuming 64k bucket size, this change saves 0.5 mbyte per namespace on a
64bit system.

NAT bysrc and expectation hash is still per namespace, those will
changed too soon.

Future patch will also make conntrack object slab cache global again.

====================
pull request (net): ipsec 2016-05-04

1) The flowcache can hit an OOM condition if too
   many entries are in the gc_list. Fix this by
   counting the entries in the gc_list and refuse
   new allocations if the value is too high.

2) The inner headers are invalid after a xfrm transformation,
   so reset the skb encapsulation field to ensure nobody tries
   access the inner headers. Otherwise tunnel devices stacked
   on top of xfrm may build the outer headers based on wrong
   informations.

3) Add pmtu handling to vti, we need it to report
   pmtu informations for local generated packets.

Please pull or let me know if there are problems.

We only allow rehash in init namespace, so we only use
init_ns.generation.  And even if we would allow it, it makes no sense
as the conntrack locks are global; any ongoing rehash prevents insert/
delete.

So make this private to nf_conntrack_core instead.

<title>net: ipv4: Consider failed nexthops in multipath routes</title>

<id>a6db4494d218c2e559173661ee972e048dc04fdd</id>
<content type='text'>
Multipath route lookups should consider knowledge about next hops and not
select a hop that is known to be failed.

Example:

                     [h2]                   [h3]   15.0.0.5
                      |                      |

                    [SP1]                  [SP2]--+
                     1  2                   1     2
                     |  |     /-------------+     |
                     |   \   /                    |
                     |     X                      |
                     |    / \                     |
                     |   /   \---------------\    |
                     1  2                     1   2
         12.0.0.2  [TOR1] 3-----------------3 [TOR2] 12.0.0.3
                     4                         4
                      \                       /
                        \                    /
                         \                  /
                          -------|   |-----/
                                 1   2
                                [TOR3]
                                  3|
                                   |
                                  [h1]  12.0.0.1

host h1 with IP 12.0.0.1 has 2 paths to host h3 at 15.0.0.5:

    root@h1:~# ip ro ls
    ...
    12.0.0.0/24 dev swp1  proto kernel  scope link  src 12.0.0.1
    15.0.0.0/16
            nexthop via 12.0.0.2  dev swp1 weight 1
            nexthop via 12.0.0.3  dev swp1 weight 1
    ...

If the link between tor3 and tor1 is down and the link between tor1
and tor2 then tor1 is effectively cut-off from h1. Yet the route lookups
in h1 are alternating between the 2 routes: ping 15.0.0.5 gets one and
ssh 15.0.0.5 gets the other. Connections that attempt to use the
12.0.0.2 nexthop fail since that neighbor is not reachable:

    root@h1:~# ip neigh show
    ...
    12.0.0.3 dev swp1 lladdr 00:02:00:00:00:1b REACHABLE
    12.0.0.2 dev swp1  FAILED
    ...

The failed path can be avoided by considering known neighbor information
when selecting next hops. If the neighbor lookup fails we have no
knowledge about the nexthop, so give it a shot. If there is an entry
then only select the nexthop if the state is sane. This is similar to
what fib_detect_death does.

To maintain backward compatibility use of the neighbor information is
based on a new sysctl, fib_multipath_use_neigh.

We can hit an OOM condition if we are under presure because
we can not free the entries in gc_list fast enough. So add
a counter for the not yet freed entries in the gc_list and
refuse new allocations if the value is too high.

One of our customers observed issues with FIB6 garbage collectors
running in different network namespaces blocking each other, resulting
in soft lockups (fib6_run_gc() initiated from timer runs always in
forced mode).

Now that FIB6 walkers are separated per namespace, there is no more need
for instances of fib6_run_gc() in different namespaces blocking each
other. There is still a call to icmp6_dst_gc() which operates on shared
data but this function is protected by its own shared lock.
