gcc compiler is smart enough to use a single load/store if we
memcpy(dptr, sptr, 8) on x86_64, regardless of
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE

In IP header, daddr immediately follows saddr, this wont change in the
future. We only need to make sure our flowi4 (saddr,daddr) fields wont
break the rule.

<title>ipv4: tcp: fix TOS value in ACK messages sent from TIME_WAIT</title>

<content type='text'>
There is a long standing bug in linux tcp stack, about ACK messages sent
on behalf of TIME_WAIT sockets.

In the IP header of the ACK message, we choose to reflect TOS field of
incoming message, and this might break some setups.

Example of things that were broken :
  - Routing using TOS as a selector
  - Firewalls
  - Trafic classification / shaping

We now remember in timewait structure the inet tos field and use it in
ACK generation, and route lookup.

Notes :
 - We still reflect incoming TOS in RST messages.
 - We could extend MuraliRaja Muniraju patch to report TOS value in
netlink messages for TIME_WAIT sockets.
 - A patch is needed for IPv6

To ease skb-&gt;truesize sanitization, its better to be able to localize
all references to skb frags size.

Define accessors : skb_frag_size() to fetch frag size, and
skb_frag_size_{set|add|sub}() to manipulate it.

Make sure skb dst has reference when moving to
another context. Currently, I don't see protocols that can
hit it when sending broadcasts/multicasts to loopback using
noref dsts, so it is just a precaution.

<title>net: fix NULL dereferences in check_peer_redir()</title>

Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir().

It appears commit f39925dbde778 (ipv4: Cache learned redirect
information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr
dereference.

Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can
safely use a neighbour.

Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir()
can be called safely by different cpus in parallel.

As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch
should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects)

Many thanks to Gergely for providing a pretty report pointing to the
bug.

<title>ipv4: Constrain UFO fragment sizes to multiples of 8 bytes</title>

Because the ip fragment offset field counts 8-byte chunks, ip
fragments other than the last must contain a multiple of 8 bytes of
payload.  ip_ufo_append_data wasn't respecting this constraint and,
depending on the MTU and ip option sizes, could create malformed
non-final fragments.
