   - Convert RNG interface to new style.

   - New AEAD interface with one SG list for AD and plain/cipher text.
     All external AEAD users have been converted.

   - New asymmetric key interface (akcipher).

  Algorithms:

   - Chacha20, Poly1305 and RFC7539 support.

   - New RSA implementation.

   - Jitter RNG.

   - DRBG is now seeded with both /dev/random and Jitter RNG.  If kernel
     pool isn't ready then DRBG will be reseeded when it is.

   - DRBG is now the default crypto API RNG, replacing krng.

   - 842 compression (previously part of powerpc nx driver).

  Drivers:

   - Accelerated SHA-512 for arm64.

   - New Marvell CESA driver that supports DMA and more algorithms.

   - Updated powerpc nx 842 support.

   - Added support for SEC1 hardware to talitos"

9f950415e4 tcp: fix child sockets to use system default congestion control if not set
Linux 3.17 and earlier are explicitly engineered so that if the app
doesn't specifically request a CC module on a listener before the SYN
arrives, then the child gets the system default CC when the connection
is established. See tcp_init_congestion_control() in 3.17 or earlier,
which says "if no choice made yet assign the current value set as
default". The change ("net: tcp: assign tcp cong_ops when tcp sk is
created") altered these semantics, so that children got their parent
listener's congestion control even if the system default had changed
after the listener was created.

This commit returns to those original semantics from 3.17 and earlier,
since they are the original semantics from 2007 in 4d4d3d1e8 ("[TCP]:
Congestion control initialization."), and some Linux congestion
control workflows depend on that.

In summary, if a listener socket specifically sets TCP_CONGESTION to
"x", or the route locks the CC module to "x", then the child gets
"x". Otherwise the child gets current system default from
net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control. That's the behavior in 3.17 and
earlier, and this commit restores that.

A couple of enums in mac80211.h became structures recently, but the

9302d7bb0c sctp: Fix mangled IPv4 addresses on a IPv6 listening socket
sctp_v4_map_v6 was subtly writing and reading from members
of a union in a way the clobbered data it needed to read before
it read it.

Zeroing the v6 flowinfo overwrites the v4 sin_addr with 0, meaning
that every place that calls sctp_v4_map_v6 gets ::ffff:0.0.0.0 as the
result.

Reorder things to guarantee correct behaviour no matter what the
union layout is.

This impacts user space clients that open an IPv6 SCTP socket and
receive IPv4 connections. Prior to 299ee user space would see a
sockaddr with AF_INET and a correct address, after 299ee the sockaddr
is AF_INET6, but the address is wrong.

a5d2809040 codel: fix maxpacket/mtu confusion
Under presence of TSO/GSO/GRO packets, codel at low rates can be quite
useless. In following example, not a single packet was ever dropped,
while average delay in codel queue is ~100 ms !

qdisc codel 0: parent 1:12 limit 16000p target 5.0ms interval 100.0ms
 Sent 134376498 bytes 88797 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
 backlog 13626b 3p requeues 0
  count 0 lastcount 0 ldelay 96.9ms drop_next 0us
  maxpacket 9084 ecn_mark 0 drop_overlimit 0

This comes from a confusion of what should be the minimal backlog. It is
pretty clear it is not 64KB or whatever max GSO packet ever reached the
qdisc.

codel intent was to use MTU of the device.

After the fix, we finally drop some packets, and rtt/cwnd of my single
TCP flow are meeting our expectations.

0df48c26d8 tcp: add tcpi_bytes_acked to tcp_info
This patch tracks total number of bytes acked for a TCP socket.
This is the sum of all changes done to tp->snd_una, and allows
for precise tracking of delivered data.

RFC4898 named this : tcpEStatsAppHCThruOctetsAcked

This is a 64bit field, and can be fetched both from TCP_INFO
getsockopt() if one has a handle on a TCP socket, or from inet_diag
netlink facility (iproute2/ss patch will follow)

Note that tp->bytes_acked was placed near tp->snd_una for
best data locality and minimal performance impact.

b357a364c5 inet: fix possible panic in reqsk_queue_unlink()
[ 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 fa76ce7328 ("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.

521f1cf1db inet_diag: fix access to tcp cc information
Two different problems are fixed here :

1) inet_sk_diag_fill() might be called without socket lock held.
   icsk->icsk_ca_ops can change under us and module be unloaded.
   -> Access to freed memory.
   Fix this using rcu_read_lock() to prevent module unload.

2) Some TCP Congestion Control modules provide information
   but again this is not safe against icsk->icsk_ca_ops
   change and nla_put() errors were ignored. Some sockets
   could not get the additional info if skb was almost full.

Fix this by returning a status from get_info() handlers and
using rcu protection as well.

Netfilter updates for net-next

A final pull request, I know it's very late but this time I think it's worth a
bit of rush.

The following patchset contains Netfilter/nf_tables updates for net-next, more
specifically concatenation support and dynamic stateful expression
instantiation.

This also comes with a couple of small patches. One to fix the ebtables.h
userspace header and another to get rid of an obsolete example file in tree
that describes a nf_tables expression.

This time, I decided to paste the original descriptions. This will result in a
rather large commit description, but I think these bytes to keep.

Patrick McHardy says:

====================
netfilter: nf_tables: concatenation support

The following patches add support for concatenations, which allow multi
dimensional exact matches in O(1).

The basic idea is to split the data registers, currently consisting of
4 registers of 16 bytes each, into smaller units, 16 registers of 4
bytes each, and making sure each register store always leaves the
full 32 bit in a well defined state, meaning smaller stores will
zero the remaining bits.

Based on that, we can load multiple adjacent registers with different
values, thereby building a concatenated bigger value, and use that
value for set lookups.

Sets are changed to use variable sized extensions for their key and
data values, removing the fixed limit of 16 bytes while saving memory
if less space is needed.

As a side effect, these patches will allow some nice optimizations in
the future, like using jhash2 in nft_hash, removing the masking in
nft_cmp_fast, optimized data comparison using 32 bit word size etc.
These are not done so far however.

The patches are split up as follows:

 * the first five patches add length validation to register loads and
   stores to make sure we stay within bounds and prepare the validation
   functions for the new addressing mode

 * the next patches prepare for changing to 32 bit addressing by
   introducing a struct nft_regs, which holds the verdict register as
   well as the data registers. The verdict members are moved to a new
   struct nft_verdict to allow to pull struct nft_data out of the stack.

 * the next patches contain preparatory conversions of expressions and
   sets to use 32 bit addressing

 * the next patch introduces so far unused register conversion helpers
   for parsing and dumping register numbers over netlink

 * following is the real conversion to 32 bit addressing, consisting of
   replacing struct nft_data in struct nft_regs by an array of u32s and
   actually translating and validating the new register numbers.

 * the final two patches add support for variable sized data items and
   variable sized keys / data in set elements

The patches have been verified to work correctly with nft binaries using
both old and new addressing.

netfilter: nf_tables: dynamic stateful expression instantiation

The following patches are the grand finale of my nf_tables set work,
using all the building blocks put in place by the previous patches
to support something like iptables hashlimit, but a lot more powerful.

Sets are extended to allow attaching expressions to set elements.
The dynset expression dynamically instantiates these expressions
based on a template when creating new set elements and evaluates
them for all new or updated set members.

In combination with concatenations this effectively creates state
tables for arbitrary combinations of keys, using the existing
expression types to maintain that state. Regular set GC takes care
of purging expired states.

We currently support two different stateful expressions, counter
and limit. Using limit as a template we can express the functionality
of hashlimit, but completely unrestricted in the combination of keys.
Using counter we can perform accounting for arbitrary flows.

The following examples from patch 5/5 show some possibilities.
Userspace syntax is still WIP, especially the listing of state
tables will most likely be seperated from normal set listings
and use a more structured format:

1. Limit the rate of new SSH connections per host, similar to iptables
   hashlimit:

        flow ip saddr timeout 60s \
        limit 10/second \
        accept

2. Account network traffic between each set of /24 networks:

        flow ip saddr & 255.255.255.0 . ip daddr & 255.255.255.0 \
        counter

3. Account traffic to each host per user:

        flow skuid . ip daddr \
        counter

4. Account traffic for each combination of source address and TCP flags:

        flow ip saddr . tcp flags \
        counter

The resulting set content after a Xmas-scan look like this:

{
        192.168.122.1 . fin | psh | urg : counter packets 1001 bytes 40040,
        192.168.122.1 . ack : counter packets 74 bytes 3848,
        192.168.122.1 . psh | ack : counter packets 35 bytes 3144
}

In the future the "expressions attached to elements" will be extended
to also support user created non-stateful expressions to allow to
efficiently select beween a set of parameter sets, f.i. a set of log
statements with different prefixes based on the interface, which currently
require one rule each. This will most likely have to wait until the next
kernel version though.

====================
netdev-related stuff in vfs.git

There are several commits sitting in vfs.git that probably ought to go in
via net-next.git.  First of all, there's merge with vfs.git#iocb - that's
Christoph's aio rework, which has triggered conflicts with the ->sendmsg()
and ->recvmsg() patches a while ago.  It's not so much Christoph's stuff
that ought to be in net-next, as (pretty simple) conflict resolution on merge.
The next chunk is switch to {compat_,}import_iovec/import_single_range - new
safer primitives for initializing iov_iter.  The primitives themselves come
from vfs/git#iov_iter (and they are used quite a lot in vfs part of queue),
conversion of net/socket.c syscalls belongs in net-next, IMO.  Next there's
afs and rxrpc stuff from dhowells.  And then there's sanitizing kernel_sendmsg
et.al.  + missing inlined helper for "how much data is left in msg->msg_iter" -
this stuff is used in e.g.  cifs stuff, but it belongs in net-next.

That pile is pullable from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git for-davem

I'll post the individual patches in there in followups; could you take a look
and tell if everything in there is OK with you?
