Bug occurs because __tcp_checksum_complete_user() enables BH, assuming
it is running from softirq context.

Lars trace involved a NIC without RX checksum support but other points
are problematic as well, like the prequeue stuff.

Problem is triggered by a timer, that found socket being owned by user.

tcp_release_cb() should call tcp_write_timer_handler() or
tcp_delack_timer_handler() in the appropriate context :

BH disabled and socket lock held, but 'owned' field cleared,
as if they were running from timer handlers.

adca476782 net: Improve SO_TIMESTAMPING documentation and fix a minor code bug
The original documentation was very unclear.

The code fix is presumably related to the formerly unclear
documentation: SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE has no effect on
__sock_recv_timestamp's behavior, so calling __sock_recv_ts_and_drops
from sock_recv_ts_and_drops if only SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE is
set is pointless.  This should have no user-observable effect.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next tree,
they are:

* Add full port randomization support. Some crazy researchers found a way
  to reconstruct the secure ephemeral ports that are allocated in random mode
  by sending off-path bursts of UDP packets to overrun the socket buffer of
  the DNS resolver to trigger retransmissions, then if the timing for the
  DNS resolution done by a client is larger than usual, then they conclude
  that the port that received the burst of UDP packets is the one that was
  opened. It seems a bit aggressive method to me but it seems to work for
  them. As a result, Daniel Borkmann and Hannes Frederic Sowa came up with a
  new NAT mode to fully randomize ports using prandom.

* Add a new classifier to x_tables based on the socket net_cls set via
  cgroups. These includes two patches to prepare the field as requested by
  Zefan Li. Also from Daniel Borkmann.

* Use prandom instead of get_random_bytes in several locations of the
  netfilter code, from Florian Westphal.

* Allow to use the CTA_MARK_MASK in ctnetlink when mangling the conntrack
  mark, also from Florian Westphal.

* Fix compilation warning due to unused variable in IPVS, from Geert
  Uytterhoeven.

* Add support for UID/GID via nfnetlink_queue, from Valentina Giusti.

* Add IPComp extension to x_tables, from Fan Du.

86f8515f97 net: netprio: rename config to be more consistent with cgroup configs
While we're at it and introduced CGROUP_NET_CLASSID, lets also make
NETPRIO_CGROUP more consistent with the rest of cgroups and rename it
into CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_PRIO so that for networking, we now have
CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_{PRIO,CLASSID}. This not only makes the CONFIG
option consistent among networking cgroups, but also among cgroups
CONFIG conventions in general as the vast majority has a prefix of
CONFIG_CGROUP_<SUBSYS>.

7f2cbdc28c tcp_memcontrol: Cleanup/fix cg_proto->memory_pressure handling.
kill memcg_tcp_enter_memory_pressure.  The only function of
memcg_tcp_enter_memory_pressure was to reduce deal with the
unnecessary abstraction that was tcp_memcontrol.  Now that struct
tcp_memcontrol is gone remove this unnecessary function, the
unnecessary function pointer, and modify sk_enter_memory_pressure to
set this field directly, just as sk_leave_memory_pressure cleas this
field directly.

This fixes a small bug I intruduced when killing struct tcp_memcontrol
that caused memcg_tcp_enter_memory_pressure to never be called and
thus failed to ever set cg_proto->memory_pressure.

Remove the cg_proto enter_memory_pressure function as it now serves
no useful purpose.

Don't test cg_proto->memory_presser in sk_leave_memory_pressure before
clearing it.  The test was originally there to ensure that the pointer
was non-NULL.  Now that cg_proto is not a pointer the pointer does not
matter.

efe4208f47 ipv6: make lookups simpler and faster
TCP listener refactoring, part 4 :

To speed up inet lookups, we moved IPv4 addresses from inet to struct
sock_common

Now is time to do the same for IPv6, because it permits us to have fast
lookups for all kind of sockets, including upcoming SYN_RECV.

Getting IPv6 addresses in TCP lookups currently requires two extra cache
lines, plus a dereference (and memory stall).

inet6_sk(sk) does the dereference of inet_sk(__sk)->pinet6

This patch is way bigger than its IPv4 counter part, because for IPv4,
we could add aliases (inet_daddr, inet_rcv_saddr), while on IPv6,
it's not doable easily.

inet6_sk(sk)->daddr becomes sk->sk_v6_daddr
inet6_sk(sk)->rcv_saddr becomes sk->sk_v6_rcv_saddr

And timewait socket also have tw->tw_v6_daddr & tw->tw_v6_rcv_saddr
at the same offset.

We get rid of INET6_TW_MATCH() as INET6_MATCH() is now the generic
macro.

05dbc7b594 tcp/dccp: remove twchain
TCP listener refactoring, part 3 :

Our goal is to hash SYN_RECV sockets into main ehash for fast lookup,
and parallel SYN processing.

Current inet_ehash_bucket contains two chains, one for ESTABLISH (and
friend states) sockets, another for TIME_WAIT sockets only.

As the hash table is sized to get at most one socket per bucket, it
makes little sense to have separate twchain, as it makes the lookup
slightly more complicated, and doubles hash table memory usage.

If we make sure all socket types have the lookup keys at the same
offsets, we can use a generic and faster lookup. It turns out TIME_WAIT
and ESTABLISHED sockets already have common lookup fields for IPv4.

[ INET_TW_MATCH() is no longer needed ]

I'll provide a follow-up to factorize IPv6 lookup as well, to remove
INET6_TW_MATCH()

This way, SYN_RECV pseudo sockets will be supported the same.

A new sock_gen_put() helper is added, doing either a sock_put() or
inet_twsk_put() [ and will support SYN_RECV later ].

Note this helper should only be called in real slow path, when rcu
lookup found a socket that was moved to another identity (freed/reused
immediately), but could eventually be used in other contexts, like
sock_edemux()

Before patch :

dmesg | grep "TCP established"

TCP established hash table entries: 524288 (order: 11, 8388608 bytes)

After patch :

TCP established hash table entries: 524288 (order: 10, 4194304 bytes)

421b3885bf udp: ipv4: Add udp early demux
The removal of the routing cache introduced a performance regression for
some UDP workloads since a dst lookup must be done for each packet.
This change caches the dst per socket in a similar manner to what we do
for TCP by implementing early_demux.

For UDP multicast we can only cache the dst if there is only one
receiving socket on the host.  Since caching only works when there is
one receiving socket we do the multicast socket lookup using RCU.

For UDP unicast we only demux sockets with an exact match in order to
not break forwarding setups.  Additionally since the hash chains may be
long we only check the first socket to see if it is a match and not
waste extra time searching the whole chain when we might not find an
exact match.

62748f32d5 net: introduce SO_MAX_PACING_RATE
As mentioned in commit afe4fd0624 ("pkt_sched: fq: Fair Queue packet
scheduler"), this patch adds a new socket option.

SO_MAX_PACING_RATE offers the application the ability to cap the
rate computed by transport layer. Value is in bytes per second.

u32 val = 1000000;
setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_MAX_PACING_RATE, &val, sizeof(val));

To be effectively paced, a flow must use FQ packet scheduler.

Note that a packet scheduler takes into account the headers for its
computations. The effective payload rate depends on MSS and retransmits
if any.

I chose to make this pacing rate a SOL_SOCKET option instead of a
TCP one because this can be used by other protocols.

69336bd2d3 sock.h: Remove extern from function prototypes
There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources.  Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.

Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler.  Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

95bd09eb27 tcp: TSO packets automatic sizing
After hearing many people over past years complaining against TSO being
bursty or even buggy, we are proud to present automatic sizing of TSO
packets.

One part of the problem is that tcp_tso_should_defer() uses an heuristic
relying on upcoming ACKS instead of a timer, but more generally, having
big TSO packets makes little sense for low rates, as it tends to create
micro bursts on the network, and general consensus is to reduce the
buffering amount.

This patch introduces a per socket sk_pacing_rate, that approximates
the current sending rate, and allows us to size the TSO packets so
that we try to send one packet every ms.

This field could be set by other transports.

Patch has no impact for high speed flows, where having large TSO packets
makes sense to reach line rate.

For other flows, this helps better packet scheduling and ACK clocking.

This patch increases performance of TCP flows in lossy environments.

A new sysctl (tcp_min_tso_segs) is added, to specify the
minimal size of a TSO packet (default being 2).

A follow-up patch will provide a new packet scheduler (FQ), using
sk_pacing_rate as an input to perform optional per flow pacing.

This explains why we chose to set sk_pacing_rate to twice the current
rate, allowing 'slow start' ramp up.

sk_pacing_rate = 2 * cwnd * mss / srtt

v2: Neal Cardwell reported a suspect deferring of last two segments on
initial write of 10 MSS, I had to change tcp_tso_should_defer() to take
into account tp->xmit_size_goal_segs

28d6427109 net: attempt high order allocations in sock_alloc_send_pskb()
Adding paged frags skbs to af_unix sockets introduced a performance
regression on large sends because of additional page allocations, even
if each skb could carry at least 100% more payload than before.

We can instruct sock_alloc_send_pskb() to attempt high order
allocations.

Most of the time, it does a single page allocation instead of 8.

I added an additional parameter to sock_alloc_send_pskb() to
let other users to opt-in for this new feature on followup patches.
