1) Support sending NAT keepalives in ESP in UDP states.
Userspace IKE daemon had to do this before, but the
kernel can better keep track of it.
From Eyal Birger.
2) Support IPsec crypto offload for IPv6 ESP and IPv4 UDP-encapsulated
ESP data paths. Currently, IPsec crypto offload is enabled for GRO
code path only. This patchset support UDP encapsulation for the non
GRO path. From Mike Yu.

Add the ability to send out RFC-3948 NAT keepalives from the xfrm stack.
To use, Userspace sets an XFRM_NAT_KEEPALIVE_INTERVAL integer property when
creating XFRM outbound states which denotes the number of seconds between
keepalive messages.
Keepalive messages are sent from a per net delayed work which iterates over
the xfrm states. The logic is guarded by the xfrm state spinlock due to the
xfrm state walk iterator.
Possible future enhancements:
- Adding counters to keep track of sent keepalives.
- deduplicate NAT keepalives between states sharing the same nat keepalive
parameters.
- provisioning hardware offloads for devices capable of implementing this.
- revise xfrm state list to use an rcu list in order to avoid running this
under spinlock.

When calculating hashes for the purpose of multipath forwarding, both IPv4
and IPv6 code currently fall back on flow_hash_from_keys(). That uses a
randomly-generated seed. That's a fine choice by default, but unfortunately
some deployments may need a tighter control over the seed used.
In this patch, make the seed configurable by adding a new sysctl key,
net.ipv4.fib_multipath_hash_seed to control the seed. This seed is used
specifically for multipath forwarding and not for the other concerns that
flow_hash_from_keys() is used for, such as queue selection. Expose the knob
as sysctl because other such settings, such as headers to hash, are also
handled that way. Like those, the multipath hash seed is a per-netns
variable.
Despite being placed in the net.ipv4 namespace, the multipath seed sysctl
is used for both IPv4 and IPv6, similarly to e.g. a number of TCP
variables.
The seed used by flow_hash_from_keys() is a 128-bit quantity. However it
seems that usually the seed is a much more modest value. 32 bits seem
typical (Cisco, Cumulus), some systems go even lower. For that reason, and
to decouple the user interface from implementation details, go with a
32-bit quantity, which is then quadruplicated to form the siphash key.

Commit 227b60f510 added a seqlock to ensure that the low and high
port numbers were always updated together.
This is overkill because the two 16bit port numbers can be held in
a u32 and read/written in a single instruction.
More recently 91d0b78c51 added support for finer per-socket limits.
The user-supplied value is 'high << 16 | low' but they are held
separately and the socket options protected by the socket lock.
Use a u32 containing 'high << 16 | low' for both the 'net' and 'sk'
fields and use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to ensure both values are
always updated together.
Change (the now trival) inet_get_local_port_range() to a static inline
to optimise the calling code.
(In particular avoiding returning integers by reference.)

TCP pingpong threshold is 1 by default. But some applications, like SQL DB
may prefer a higher pingpong threshold to activate delayed acks in quick
ack mode for better performance.
The pingpong threshold and related code were changed to 3 in the year
2019 in:
commit 4a41f453be ("tcp: change pingpong threshold to 3")
And reverted to 1 in the year 2022 in:
commit 4d8f24eeed ("Revert "tcp: change pingpong threshold to 3"")
There is no single value that fits all applications.
Add net.ipv4.tcp_pingpong_thresh sysctl tunable, so it can be tuned for
optimal performance based on the application needs.

This idea came after a particular workload requested
the quickack attribute set on routes, and a performance
drop was noticed for large bulk transfers.
For high throughput flows, it is best to use one cpu
running the user thread issuing socket system calls,
and a separate cpu to process incoming packets from BH context.
(With TSO/GRO, bottleneck is usually the 'user' cpu)
Problem is the user thread can spend a lot of time while holding
the socket lock, forcing BH handler to queue most of incoming
packets in the socket backlog.
Whenever the user thread releases the socket lock, it must first
process all accumulated packets in the backlog, potentially
adding latency spikes. Due to flood mitigation, having too many
packets in the backlog increases chance of unexpected drops.
Backlog processing unfortunately shifts a fair amount of cpu cycles
from the BH cpu to the 'user' cpu, thus reducing max throughput.
This patch takes advantage of the backlog processing,
and the fact that ACK are mostly cumulative.
The idea is to detect we are in the backlog processing
and defer all eligible ACK into a single one,
sent from tcp_release_cb().
This saves cpu cycles on both sides, and network resources.
Performance of a single TCP flow on a 200Gbit NIC:
- Throughput is increased by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit).
- Number of generated ACK per second shrinks from 240,000 to 40,000.
- Number of backlog drops per second shrinks from 230 to 0.
Benchmark context:
- Regular netperf TCP_STREAM (no zerocopy)
- Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8481C (Saphire Rapids)
- MAX_SKB_FRAGS = 17 (~60KB per GRO packet)
This feature is guarded by a new sysctl, and enabled by default:

With modern NIC drivers shifting to full page allocations per
received frame, we face the following issue:
TCP has one per-netns sysctl used to tweak how to translate
a memory use into an expected payload (RWIN), in RX path.
tcp_win_from_space() implementation is limited to few cases.
For hosts dealing with various MSS, we either under estimate
or over estimate the RWIN we send to the remote peers.
For instance with the default sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale value,
we expect to store 50% of payload per allocated chunk of memory.
For the typical use of MTU=1500 traffic, and order-0 pages allocations
by NIC drivers, we are sending too big RWIN, leading to potential
tcp collapse operations, which are extremely expensive and source
of latency spikes.
This patch makes sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale obsolete, and instead
uses a per socket scaling factor, so that we can precisely
adjust the RWIN based on effective skb->len/skb->truesize ratio.
This patch alone can double TCP receive performance when receivers
are too slow to drain their receive queue, or by allowing
a bigger RWIN when MSS is close to PAGE_SIZE.

Under certain circumstances, the tcp receive buffer memory limit
set by autotuning (sk_rcvbuf) is increased due to incoming data
packets as a result of the window not closing when it should be.
This can result in the receive buffer growing all the way up to
tcp_rmem[2], even for tcp sessions with a low BDP.
To reproduce: Connect a TCP session with the receiver doing
nothing and the sender sending small packets (an infinite loop
of socket send() with 4 bytes of payload with a sleep of 1 ms
in between each send()). This will cause the tcp receive buffer
to grow all the way up to tcp_rmem[2].
As a result, a host can have individual tcp sessions with receive
buffers of size tcp_rmem[2], and the host itself can reach tcp_mem
limits, causing the host to go into tcp memory pressure mode.
The fundamental issue is the relationship between the granularity
of the window scaling factor and the number of byte ACKed back
to the sender. This problem has previously been identified in
RFC 7323, appendix F [1].
The Linux kernel currently adheres to never shrinking the window.
In addition to the overallocation of memory mentioned above, the
current behavior is functionally incorrect, because once tcp_rmem[2]
is reached when no remediations remain (i.e. tcp collapse fails to
free up any more memory and there are no packets to prune from the
out-of-order queue), the receiver will drop in-window packets
resulting in retransmissions and an eventual timeout of the tcp
session. A receive buffer full condition should instead result
in a zero window and an indefinite wait.
In practice, this problem is largely hidden for most flows. It
is not applicable to mice flows. Elephant flows can send data
fast enough to "overrun" the sk_rcvbuf limit (in a single ACK),
triggering a zero window.
But this problem does show up for other types of flows. Examples
are websockets and other type of flows that send small amounts of
data spaced apart slightly in time. In these cases, we directly
encounter the problem described in [1].
RFC 7323, section 2.4 [2], says there are instances when a retracted
window can be offered, and that TCP implementations MUST ensure
that they handle a shrinking window, as specified in RFC 1122,
section 4.2.2.16 [3]. All prior RFCs on the topic of tcp window
management have made clear that sender must accept a shrunk window
from the receiver, including RFC 793 [4] and RFC 1323 [5].
This patch implements the functionality to shrink the tcp window
when necessary to keep the right edge within the memory limit by
autotuning (sk_rcvbuf). This new functionality is enabled with
the new sysctl: net.ipv4.tcp_shrink_window
