Open vSwitch
First two patches are related to OVS MPLS support. Rest of patches
are mostly refactoring and minor improvements to openvswitch.
v1-v2:
- Fix conflicts due to "gue: Remote checksum offload"

Currently we need the IP6_TNL_F_CAP_XMIT capabiltiy to transmit
packets through an ipv6 tunnel. This capability is set when the
tunnel gets configured, based on the tunnel endpoint addresses.
On tunnels with wildcard tunnel endpoints, we need to do the
capabiltiy checking on a per packet basis like it is done in
the receive path.
This patch extends ip6_tnl_xmit_ctl() to take local and remote
addresses as parameters to allow for per packet capabiltiy
checking.

Move fou_build_header out of ip_tunnel.c and into fou.c splitting
it up into fou_build_header, gue_build_header, and fou_build_udp.
This allows for other users for TX of FOU or GUE. Change ip_tunnel_encap
to call fou_build_header or gue_build_header based on the tunnel
encapsulation type. Similarly, added fou_encap_hlen and gue_encap_hlen
functions which are called by ip_encap_hlen. New net/fou.h has
prototypes and defines for this.
Added NET_FOU_IP_TUNNELS configuration. When this is set, IP tunnels
can use FOU/GUE and fou module is also selected.

This patch allows to set ECN on a per-route basis in case the sysctl
tcp_ecn is not set to 1. In other words, when ECN is set for specific
routes, it provides a tcp_ecn=1 behaviour for that route while the rest
of the stack acts according to the global settings.
One can use 'ip route change dev $dev $net features ecn' to toggle this.
Having a more fine-grained per-route setting can be beneficial for various
reasons, for example, 1) within data centers, or 2) local ISPs may deploy
ECN support for their own video/streaming services [1], etc.
There was a recent measurement study/paper [2] which scanned the Alexa's
publicly available top million websites list from a vantage point in US,
Europe and Asia:
Half of the Alexa list will now happily use ECN (tcp_ecn=2, most likely
blamed to commit 255cac91c3 ("tcp: extend ECN sysctl to allow server-side
only ECN") ;)); the break in connectivity on-path was found is about
1 in 10,000 cases. Timeouts rather than receiving back RSTs were much
more common in the negotiation phase (and mostly seen in the Alexa
middle band, ranks around 50k-150k): from 12-thousand hosts on which
there _may_ be ECN-linked connection failures, only 79 failed with RST
when _not_ failing with RST when ECN is not requested.
It's unclear though, how much equipment in the wild actually marks CE
when buffers start to fill up.
We thought about a fallback to non-ECN for retransmitted SYNs as another
global option (which could perhaps one day be made default), but as Eric
points out, there's much more work needed to detect broken middleboxes.
Two examples Eric mentioned are buggy firewalls that accept only a single
SYN per flow, and middleboxes that successfully let an ECN flow establish,
but later mark CE for all packets (so cwnd converges to 1).

The function cookie_check_timestamp(), both called from IPv4/6 context,
is being used to decode the echoed timestamp from the SYN/ACK into TCP
options used for follow-up communication with the peer.
We can remove ECN handling from that function, split it into a separate
one, and simply rename the original function into cookie_decode_options().
cookie_decode_options() just fills in tcp_option struct based on the
echoed timestamp received from the peer. Anything that fails in this
function will actually discard the request socket.
While this is the natural place for decoding options such as ECN which
commit 172d69e63c ("syncookies: add support for ECN") added, we argue
that in particular for ECN handling, it can be checked at a later point
in time as the request sock would actually not need to be dropped from
this, but just ECN support turned off.
Therefore, we split this functionality into cookie_ecn_ok(), which tells
us if the timestamp indicates ECN support AND the tcp_ecn sysctl is enabled.
This prepares for per-route ECN support: just looking at the tcp_ecn sysctl
won't be enough anymore at that point; if the timestamp indicates ECN
and sysctl tcp_ecn == 0, we will also need to check the ECN dst metric.
This would mean adding a route lookup to cookie_check_timestamp(), which
we definitely want to avoid. As we already do a route lookup at a later
point in cookie_{v4,v6}_check(), we can simply make use of that as well
for the new cookie_ecn_ok() function w/o any additional cost.

====================
netfilter/ipvs fixes for net
The following patchset contains fixes for netfilter/ipvs. This round of
fixes is larger than usual at this stage, specifically because of the
nf_tables bridge reject fixes that I would like to see in 3.18. The
patches are:
1) Fix a null-pointer dereference that may occur when logging
errors. This problem was introduced by 4a4739d56b ("ipvs: Pull
out crosses_local_route_boundary logic") in v3.17-rc5.
2) Update hook mask in nft_reject_bridge so we can also filter out
packets from there. This fixes 36d2af5 ("netfilter: nf_tables: allow
to filter from prerouting and postrouting"), which needs this chunk
to work.
3) Two patches to refactor common code to forge the IPv4 and IPv6
reject packets from the bridge. These are required by the nf_tables
reject bridge fix.
4) Fix nft_reject_bridge by avoiding the use of the IP stack to reject
packets from the bridge. The idea is to forge the reject packets and
inject them to the original port via br_deliver() which is now
exported for that purpose.
5) Restrict nft_reject_bridge to bridge prerouting and input hooks.
the original skbuff may cloned after prerouting when the bridge stack
needs to flood it to several bridge ports, it is too late to reject
the traffic.

That can be reused by the reject bridge expression to build the reject
packet. The new functions are:
* nf_reject_ip6_tcphdr_get(): to sanitize and to obtain the TCP header.
* nf_reject_ip6hdr_put(): to build the IPv6 header.
* nf_reject_ip6_tcphdr_put(): to build the TCP header.

While testing upcoming Yaogong patch (converting out of order queue
into an RB tree), I hit the max reordering level of linux TCP stack.
Reordering level was limited to 127 for no good reason, and some
network setups [1] can easily reach this limit and get limited
throughput.
Allow a new max limit of 300, and add a sysctl to allow admins to even
allow bigger (or lower) values if needed.

The original motivation for this change was to allow the helper to be used
in files other than actions.c as part of work on an odp select group
action.
It was as pointed out by Thomas Graf that this helper would be best off
living in netlink.h. Furthermore, I think that the generic nature of this
helper means it is best off in netlink.h regardless of if it is used more
than one .c file or not. Thus, I would like it considered independent of
the work on an odp select group action.
