[ Upstream commit b038177636f83bbf87c2b238706474145dd2cd04 ]

To improve hardware offload debuggability count pending 'add', 'del' and
'stats' flow_table offload workqueue tasks. Counters are incremented before
scheduling new task and decremented when workqueue handler finishes
executing. These counters allow user to diagnose congestion on hardware
offload workqueues that can happen when either CPU is starved and workqueue
jobs are executed at lower rate than new ones are added or when
hardware/driver can't keep up with the rate.

Implement the described counters as percpu counters inside new struct
netns_ft which is stored inside struct net. Expose them via new procfs file
'/proc/net/stats/nf_flowtable' that is similar to existing 'nf_conntrack'
file.

commit 3e4bc23926b83c3c67e5f61ae8571602754131a6 upstream.

xfrm_gen_index() mutual exclusion uses net-&gt;xfrm.xfrm_policy_lock.

This means we must use a per-netns idx_generator variable,
instead of a static one.
Alternative would be to use an atomic variable.

commit 1202cdd665315c525b5237e96e0bedc76d7e754f upstream.

DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention
from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol
history museum not in Linux kernel.

It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support
for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on
Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well.

Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling.
This means that there is still an empty neighbour table
for AF_DECNET.

The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match
current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.

[ Upstream commit edf2e1d2019b2730d6076dbe4c040d37d7c10bbe ]

skip_notify_on_dev_down ctl table expects this field
to be an int (4 bytes), not a bool (1 byte).

Because proc_dou8vec_minmax() was added in 5.13,
this patch converts skip_notify_on_dev_down to an int.

Following patch then converts the field to u8 and use proc_dou8vec_minmax().

[ Upstream commit 37ba017dcc3b1123206808979834655ddcf93251 ]

TCP ipv4 uses per-cpu/per-netns ctl sockets in order to send
RST and some ACK packets (on behalf of TIMEWAIT sockets).

This adds memory and cpu costs, which do not seem needed.
Now typical servers have 256 or more cores, this adds considerable
tax to netns users.

tcp sockets are used from BH context, are not receiving packets,
and do not store any persistent state but the 'struct net' pointer
in order to be able to use IPv4 output functions.

Note that I attempted a related change in the past, that had
to be hot-fixed in commit bdbbb8527b6f ("ipv4: tcp: get rid of ugly unicast_sock")

This patch could very well surface old bugs, on layers not
taking care of sk-&gt;sk_kern_sock properly.

Reads and Writes to ip6_rt_gc_expire always have been racy,
as syzbot reported lately [1]

There is a possible risk of under-flow, leading
to unexpected high value passed to fib6_run_gc(),
although I have not observed this in the field.

Hosts hitting ip6_dst_gc() very hard are under pretty bad
state anyway.

commit 0b0dff5b3b98c5c7ce848151df9da0b3cdf0cc8b upstream.

Ipv6 flowlabels historically require a reservation before use.
Optionally in exclusive mode (e.g., user-private).

Commit 59c820b2317f ("ipv6: elide flowlabel check if no exclusive
leases exist") introduced a fastpath that avoids this check when no
exclusive leases exist in the system, and thus any flowlabel use
will be granted.

That allows skipping the control operation to reserve a flowlabel
entirely. Though with a warning if the fast path fails:

  This is an optimization. Robust applications still have to revert to
  requesting leases if the fast path fails due to an exclusive lease.

Still, this is subtle. Better isolate network namespaces from each
other. Flowlabels are per-netns. Also record per-netns whether
exclusive leases are in use. Then behavior does not change based on
activity in other netns.

Changes
  v2
    - wrap in IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6) to avoid breakage if disabled
