As ping_v6_sendmsg is used only in this file,
making it static

The body of "pingv6_prot" and "pingv6_protosw" were
moved at the middle of the file, to avoid having to
declare some static prototypes.

<title>tunnels: Remove encapsulation offloads on decap.</title>

<content type='text'>
If a packet is either locally encapsulated or processed through GRO
it is marked with the offloads that it requires. However, when it is
decapsulated these tunnel offload indications are not removed. This
means that if we receive an encapsulated TCP packet, aggregate it with
GRO, decapsulate, and retransmit the resulting frame on a NIC that does
not support encapsulation, we won't be able to take advantage of hardware
offloads even though it is just a simple TCP packet at this point.

This fixes the problem by stripping off encapsulation offload indications
when packets are decapsulated.

The performance impacts of this bug are significant. In a test where a
Geneve encapsulated TCP stream is sent to a hypervisor, GRO'ed, decapsulated,
and bridged to a VM performance is improved by 60% (5Gbps-&gt;8Gbps) as a
result of avoiding unnecessary segmentation at the VM tap interface.

<title>tunnels: Don't apply GRO to multiple layers of encapsulation.</title>

<content type='text'>
When drivers express support for TSO of encapsulated packets, they
only mean that they can do it for one layer of encapsulation.
Supporting additional levels would mean updating, at a minimum,
more IP length fields and they are unaware of this.

No encapsulation device expresses support for handling offloaded
encapsulated packets, so we won't generate these types of frames
in the transmit path. However, GRO doesn't have a check for
multiple levels of encapsulation and will attempt to build them.

UDP tunnel GRO actually does prevent this situation but it only
handles multiple UDP tunnels stacked on top of each other. This
generalizes that solution to prevent any kind of tunnel stacking
that would cause problems.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "Highlights:

   1) Support more Realtek wireless chips, from Jes Sorenson.

   2) New BPF types for per-cpu hash and arrap maps, from Alexei
      Starovoitov.

   3) Make several TCP sysctls per-namespace, from Nikolay Borisov.

   4) Allow the use of SO_REUSEPORT in order to do per-thread processing
   of incoming TCP/UDP connections.  The muxing can be done using a
   BPF program which hashes the incoming packet.  From Craig Gallek.

   5) Add a multiplexer for TCP streams, to provide a messaged based
      interface.  BPF programs can be used to determine the message
      boundaries.  From Tom Herbert.

   6) Add 802.1AE MACSEC support, from Sabrina Dubroca.

   7) Avoid factorial complexity when taking down an inetdev interface
      with lots of configured addresses.  We were doing things like
      traversing the entire address less for each address removed, and
      flushing the entire netfilter conntrack table for every address as
      well.

   8) Add and use SKB bulk free infrastructure, from Jesper Brouer.

   9) Allow offloading u32 classifiers to hardware, and implement for
      ixgbe, from John Fastabend.

  10) Allow configuring IRQ coalescing parameters on a per-queue basis,
      from Kan Liang.

  11) Extend ethtool so that larger link mode masks can be supported.
      From David Decotigny.

  12) Introduce devlink, which can be used to configure port link types
      (ethernet vs Infiniband, etc.), port splitting, and switch device
      level attributes as a whole.  From Jiri Pirko.

  13) Hardware offload support for flower classifiers, from Amir Vadai.

  14) Add "Local Checksum Offload".  Basically, for a tunneled packet
      the checksum of the outer header is 'constant' (because with the
      checksum field filled into the inner protocol header, the payload
      of the outer frame checksums to 'zero'), and we can take advantage
      of that in various ways.  From Edward Cree"

====================
Netfilter/IPVS/OVS updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS fixes and OVS NAT
support, more specifically this batch is composed of:

1) Fix a crash in ipset when performing a parallel flush/dump with
   set:list type, from Jozsef Kadlecsik.

2) Make sure NFACCT_FILTER_* netlink attributes are in place before
   accessing them, from Phil Turnbull.

3) Check return error code from ip_vs_fill_iph_skb_off() in IPVS SIP
   helper, from Arnd Bergmann.

4) Add workaround to IPVS to reschedule existing connections to new
   destination server by dropping the packet and wait for retransmission
   of TCP syn packet, from Julian Anastasov.

5) Allow connection rescheduling in IPVS when in CLOSE state, also
   from Julian.

6) Fix wrong offset of SIP Call-ID in IPVS helper, from Marco Angaroni.

7) Validate IPSET_ATTR_ETHER netlink attribute length, from Jozsef.

8) Check match/targetinfo netlink attribute size in nft_compat,
   patch from Florian Westphal.

9) Check for integer overflow on 32-bit systems in x_tables, from
   Florian Westphal.

Several patches from Jarno Rajahalme to prepare the introduction of
NAT support to OVS based on the Netfilter infrastructure:

10) Schedule IP_CT_NEW_REPLY definition for removal in
    nf_conntrack_common.h.

11) Simplify checksumming recalculation in nf_nat.

12) Add comments to the openvswitch conntrack code, from Jarno.

13) Update the CT state key only after successful nf_conntrack_in()
    invocation.

14) Find existing conntrack entry after upcall.

15) Handle NF_REPEAT case due to templates in nf_conntrack_in().

16) Call the conntrack helper functions once the conntrack has been
    confirmed.

17) And finally, add the NAT interface to OVS.

The batch closes with:

18) Cleanup to use spin_unlock_wait() instead of
    spin_lock()/spin_unlock(), from Nicholas Mc Guire.

<title>netfilter: Allow calling into nat helper without skb_dst.</title>

NAT checksum recalculation code assumes existence of skb_dst, which
becomes a problem for a later patch in the series ("openvswitch:
Interface with NAT.").  Simplify this by removing the check on
skb_dst, as the checksum will be dealt with later in the stack.

<title>tcp: Add RFC4898 tcpEStatsPerfDataSegsOut/In</title>

Per RFC4898, they count segments sent/received
containing a positive length data segment (that includes
retransmission segments carrying data).  Unlike
tcpi_segs_out/in, tcpi_data_segs_out/in excludes segments
carrying no data (e.g. pure ack).

The patch also updates the segs_in in tcp_fastopen_add_skb()
so that segs_in &gt;= data_segs_in property is kept.

Together with retransmission data, tcpi_data_segs_out
gives a better signal on the rxmit rate.

v6: Rebase on the latest net-next

v5: Eric pointed out that checking skb-&gt;len is still needed in
tcp_fastopen_add_skb() because skb can carry a FIN without data.
Hence, instead of open coding segs_in and data_segs_in, tcp_segs_in()
helper is used.  Comment is added to the fastopen case to explain why
segs_in has to be reset and tcp_segs_in() has to be called before
__skb_pull().

v4: Add comment to the changes in tcp_fastopen_add_skb()
and also add remark on this case in the commit message.

v3: Add const modifier to the skb parameter in tcp_segs_in()

v2: Rework based on recent fix by Eric:
commit a9d99ce28ed3 ("tcp: fix tcpi_segs_in after connection establishment")

<title>ipv6: Pass proto to csum_ipv6_magic as __u8 instead of unsigned short</title>

This patch updates csum_ipv6_magic so that it correctly recognizes that
protocol is a unsigned 8 bit value.

This will allow us to better understand what limitations may or may not be
present in how we handle the data.  For example there are a number of
places that call htonl on the protocol value.  This is likely not necessary
and can be replaced with a multiplication by ntohl(1) which will be
converted to a shift by the compiler.
