Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
 "While we have a small number of SELinux patches for v5.11, there are a
  few changes worth highlighting:

   - Change the LSM network hooks to pass flowi_common structs instead
     of the parent flowi struct as the LSMs do not currently need the
     full flowi struct and they do not have enough information to use it
     safely (missing information on the address family).

     This patch was discussed both with Herbert Xu (representing team
     netdev) and James Morris (representing team
     LSMs-other-than-SELinux).

   - Fix how we handle errors in inode_doinit_with_dentry() so that we
     attempt to properly label the inode on following lookups instead of
     continuing to treat it as unlabeled.

   - Tweak the kernel logic around allowx, auditallowx, and dontauditx
     SELinux policy statements such that the auditx/dontauditx are
     effective even without the allowx statement.

  Everything passes our test suite"

<title>inet_ecn: Use csum16_add() helper for IP_ECN_set_* helpers</title>

Jakub pointed out that the IP_ECN_set* helpers basically open-code
csum16_add(), so let's switch them over to using the helper instead.

v2:
- Use __be16 for check_add stack variable in IP_ECN_set_ce() (kbot)
v3:
- Turns out we need __force casts to do arithmetic on __be16 types

<title>net: Limit logical shift left of TCP probe0 timeout</title>

<id>6d4634d1b09172a9f5863d8c4cec8f82fbecdf15</id>
<content type='text'>
For each TCP zero window probe, the icsk_backoff is increased by one and
its max value is tcp_retries2. If tcp_retries2 is greater than 63, the
probe0 timeout shift may exceed its max bits. On x86_64/ARMv8/MIPS, the
shift count would be masked to range 0 to 63. And on ARMv7 the result is
zero. If the shift count is masked, only several probes will be sent
with timeout shorter than TCP_RTO_MAX. But if the timeout is zero, it
needs tcp_retries2 times probes to end this false timeout. Besides,
bitwise shift greater than or equal to the width is an undefined
behavior.

This patch adds a limit to the backoff. The max value of max_when is
TCP_RTO_MAX and the min value of timeout base is TCP_RTO_MIN. The limit
is the backoff from TCP_RTO_MIN to TCP_RTO_MAX.

<title>tcp: parse mptcp options contained in reset packets</title>

<content type='text'>
Because TCP-level resets only affect the subflow, there is a MPTCP
option to indicate that the MPTCP-level connection should be closed
immediately without a mptcp-level fin exchange.

This is the 'MPTCP fast close option'.  It can be carried on ack
segments or TCP resets.  In the latter case, its needed to parse mptcp
options also for reset packets so that MPTCP can act accordingly.

Next patch will add receive side fastclose support in MPTCP.

Pull misc fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains several fixes which felt worth being combined into a
  single branch:

   - Use put_nsproxy() instead of open-coding it switch_task_namespaces()

   - Kirill's work to unify lifecycle management for all namespaces. The
     lifetime counters are used identically for all namespaces types.
     Namespaces may of course have additional unrelated counters and
     these are not altered. This work allows us to unify the type of the
     counters and reduces maintenance cost by moving the counter in one
     place and indicating that basic lifetime management is identical
     for all namespaces.

   - Peilin's fix adding three byte padding to Dmitry's
     PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO uapi struct to prevent an info leak.

   - Two smal patches to convert from the /* fall through */ comment
     annotation to the fallthrough keyword annotation which I had taken
     into my branch and into -next before df561f6688fe ("treewide: Use
     fallthrough pseudo-keyword") made it upstream which fixed this
     tree-wide.

     Since I didn't want to invalidate all testing for other commits I
     didn't rebase and kept them"

Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

1) Missing dependencies in NFT_BRIDGE_REJECT, from Randy Dunlap.

2) Use atomic_inc_return() instead of atomic_add_return() in IPVS,
   from Yejune Deng.

3) Simplify check for overquota in xt_nfacct, from Kaixu Xia.

4) Move nfnl_acct_list away from struct net, from Miao Wang.

5) Pass actual sk in reject actions, from Jan Engelhardt.

6) Add timeout and protoinfo to ctnetlink destroy events,
   from Florian Westphal.

<title>inet: frags: batch fqdir destroy works</title>

On a few of our systems, I found frequent 'unshare(CLONE_NEWNET)' calls
make the number of active slab objects including 'sock_inode_cache' type
rapidly and continuously increase.  As a result, memory pressure occurs.

In more detail, I made an artificial reproducer that resembles the
workload that we found the problem and reproduce the problem faster.  It
merely repeats 'unshare(CLONE_NEWNET)' 50,000 times in a loop.  It takes
about 2 minutes.  On 40 CPU cores / 70GB DRAM machine, the available
memory continuously reduced in a fast speed (about 120MB per second,
15GB in total within the 2 minutes).  Note that the issue don't
reproduce on every machine.  On my 6 CPU cores machine, the problem
didn't reproduce.

'cleanup_net()' and 'fqdir_work_fn()' are functions that deallocate the
relevant memory objects.  They are asynchronously invoked by the work
queues and internally use 'rcu_barrier()' to ensure safe destructions.
'cleanup_net()' works in a batched maneer in a single thread worker,
while 'fqdir_work_fn()' works for each 'fqdir_exit()' call in the
'system_wq'.  Therefore, 'fqdir_work_fn()' called frequently under the
workload and made the contention for 'rcu_barrier()' high.  In more
detail, the global mutex, 'rcu_state.barrier_mutex' became the
bottleneck.

This commit avoids such contention by doing the 'rcu_barrier()' and
subsequent lightweight works in a batched manner, as similar to that of
'cleanup_net()'.  The fqdir hashtable destruction, which is done before
the 'rcu_barrier()', is still allowed to run in parallel for fast
processing, but this commit makes it to use a dedicated work queue
instead of the 'system_wq', to make sure that the number of threads is
bounded.
