<title>udp: generate gso with UDP_SEGMENT</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bec1f6f697362c5bc635dacd7ac8499d0a10a4e7</id>
<content type='text'>
Support generic segmentation offload for udp datagrams. Callers can
concatenate and send at once the payload of multiple datagrams with
the same destination.

To set segment size, the caller sets socket option UDP_SEGMENT to the
length of each discrete payload. This value must be smaller than or
equal to the relevant MTU.

A follow-up patch adds cmsg UDP_SEGMENT to specify segment size on a
per send call basis.

Total byte length may then exceed MTU. If not an exact multiple of
segment size, the last segment will be shorter.

The implementation adds a gso_size field to the udp socket, ip(v6)
cmsg cookie and inet_cork structure to be able to set the value at
setsockopt or cmsg time and to work with both lockless and corked
paths.

Initial benchmark numbers show UDP GSO about as expensive as TCP GSO.

        11,204,374,561      cycles

   [*] after reverting commit 0a6b2a1dc2a2
       ("tcp: switch to GSO being always on")

Measured total system cycles ('-a') for one core while pinning both
the network receive path and benchmark process to that core:

  perf stat -a -C 12 -e cycles \
    ./udpgso_bench_tx -C 12 -4 -D "$DST" -l 4

Note the reduction in calls/s with GSO. Bytes per syscall drops
increases from 1470 to 61818.

UDP segmentation offload needs access to inet_cork in the udp layer.
Pass the struct to ip(6)_make_skb instead of allocating it on the
stack in that function itself.

This patch is a noop otherwise.

<content type='text'>
Move logic of fib_convert_metrics into ip_metrics_convert. This allows
the code that converts netlink attributes into metrics struct to be
re-used in a later patch by IPv6.

This is mostly a code move with the following changes to variable names:
  - fi-&gt;fib_net becomes net
  - fc_mx and fc_mx_len are passed as inputs pulled from fib_config
  - metrics array is passed as an input from fi-&gt;fib_metrics-&gt;metrics

Also since we use rhashtable we can bring back the number of fragments
in "grep FRAG /proc/net/sockstat /proc/net/sockstat6" that was
removed in commit 434d305405ab ("inet: frag: don't account number

Fun set of conflict resolutions here...

For the mac80211 stuff, these were fortunately just parallel
adds.  Trivially resolved.

In drivers/net/phy/phy.c we had a bug fix in 'net' that moved the
function phy_disable_interrupts() earlier in the file, whilst in
'net-next' the phy_error() call from this function was removed.

In net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c, David Ahern's changes to remove the
'rt_table_id' member of rtable collided with a bug fix in 'net' that
added a new struct member "rt_mtu_locked" which needs to be copied
over here.

The mlxsw driver conflict consisted of net-next separating
the span code and definitions into separate files, whilst
a 'net' bug fix made some changes to that moved code.

The mlx5 infiniband conflict resolution was quite non-trivial,
the RDMA tree's merge commit was used as a guide here, and
here are their notes:

====================

    Due to bug fixes found by the syzkaller bot and taken into the for-rc
    branch after development for the 4.17 merge window had already started
    being taken into the for-next branch, there were fairly non-trivial
    merge issues that would need to be resolved between the for-rc branch
    and the for-next branch.  This merge resolves those conflicts and
    provides a unified base upon which ongoing development for 4.17 can
    be based.

    Conflicts:
            drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.c - Commit 42cea83f9524
            (IB/mlx5: Fix cleanup order on unload) added to for-rc and
            commit b5ca15ad7e61 (IB/mlx5: Add proper representors support)
            add as part of the devel cycle both needed to modify the
            init/de-init functions used by mlx5.  To support the new
            representors, the new functions added by the cleanup patch
            needed to be made non-static, and the init/de-init list
            added by the representors patch needed to be modified to
            match the init/de-init list changes made by the cleanup
            patch.
    Updates:
            drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/mlx5_ib.h - Update function
            prototypes added by representors patch to reflect new function
            names as changed by cleanup patch
            drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/ib_rep.c - Update init/de-init
            stage list to match new order from cleanup patch

<title>ipv4: lock mtu in fnhe when received PMTU &lt; net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d52e5a7e7ca49457dd31fc8b42fb7c0d58a31221</id>
<content type='text'>
Prior to the rework of PMTU information storage in commit
2c8cec5c10bc ("ipv4: Cache learned PMTU information in inetpeer."),
when a PMTU event advertising a PMTU smaller than
net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu was received, we would disable setting the DF
flag on packets by locking the MTU metric, and set the PMTU to
net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu.

Since then, we don't disable DF, and set PMTU to
net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu, so the intermediate router that has this link
with a small MTU will have to drop the packets.

This patch reestablishes pre-2.6.39 behavior by splitting
rtable-&gt;rt_pmtu into a bitfield with rt_mtu_locked and rt_pmtu.
rt_mtu_locked indicates that we shouldn't set the DF bit on that path,
and is checked in ip_dont_fragment().

One possible workaround is to set net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu to a value low
enough to accommodate the lowest MTU encountered.

Fixes: 2c8cec5c10bc ("ipv4: Cache learned PMTU information in inetpeer.")
