[ Upstream commit 9a9c9b51e54618861420093ae6e9b50a961914c5 ]

We want to add finer control of the number of ACK packets sent after
ECN events.

This patch is not changing current behavior, it only enables following
change.

[ Upstream commit 24b711edfc34bc45777a3f068812b7d1ed004a5d ]

Example setup:
    host: ip -6 addr add dev eth1 2001:db8:104::4
           where eth1 is enslaved to a VRF

    switch: ip -6 ro add 2001:db8:104::4/128 dev br1
            where br1 only has an LLA

           ping6 2001:db8:104::4
           ssh   2001:db8:104::4

(NOTE: UDP works fine if the PKTINFO has the address set to the global
address and ifindex is set to the index of eth1 with a destination an
LLA).

For ICMP, icmp6_iif needs to be updated to check if skb-&gt;dev is an
L3 master. If it is then return the ifindex from rt6i_idev similar
to what is done for loopback.

For TCP, restore the original tcp_v6_iif definition which is needed in
most places and add a new tcp_v6_iif_l3_slave that considers the
l3_slave variability. This latter check is only needed for socket
lookups.

<title>tcp: do not delay ACK in DCTCP upon CE status change</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit a0496ef2c23b3b180902dd185d0d63ccbc624cf8 ]

Per DCTCP RFC8257 (Section 3.2) the ACK reflecting the CE status change
has to be sent immediately so the sender can respond quickly:

""" When receiving packets, the CE codepoint MUST be processed as follows:

   1.  If the CE codepoint is set and DCTCP.CE is false, set DCTCP.CE to
       true and send an immediate ACK.

   2.  If the CE codepoint is not set and DCTCP.CE is true, set DCTCP.CE
       to false and send an immediate ACK.
"""

Previously DCTCP implementation may continue to delay the ACK. This
patch fixes that to implement the RFC by forcing an immediate ACK.

Tested with this packetdrill script provided by Larry Brakmo

<id>urn:sha1:5a2ebffa878dabd21e2b4769e00b7dba10207192</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 27cde44a259c380a3c09066fc4b42de7dde9b1ad ]

Currently when a DCTCP receiver delays an ACK and receive a
data packet with a different CE mark from the previous one's, it
sends two immediate ACKs acking previous and latest sequences
respectly (for ECN accounting).

Previously sending the first ACK may mark off the delayed ACK timer
(tcp_event_ack_sent). This may subsequently prevent sending the
second ACK to acknowledge the latest sequence (tcp_ack_snd_check).
The culprit is that tcp_send_ack() assumes it always acknowleges
the latest sequence, which is not true for the first special ACK.

The fix is to not make the assumption in tcp_send_ack and check the
actual ack sequence before cancelling the delayed ACK. Further it's
safer to pass the ack sequence number as a local variable into
tcp_send_ack routine, instead of intercepting tp-&gt;rcv_nxt to avoid
future bugs like this.

<content type='text'>
This is second part of dealing with suboptimal device gso parameters.
In first patch (350c9f484bde "tcp_bbr: better deal with suboptimal GSO")
we dealt with devices having low gso_max_segs

Some devices lower gso_max_size from 64KB to 16 KB (r8152 is an example)

In order to probe an optimal cwnd, we want BBR being not sensitive
to whatever GSO constraint a device can have.

This patch removes tso_segs_goal() CC callback in favor of
min_tso_segs() for CC wanting to override sysctl_tcp_min_tso_segs

Next patch will remove bbr-&gt;tso_segs_goal since it does not have
to be persistent.

<title>tcp: try to keep packet if SYN_RCV race is lost</title>

배석진 reported that in some situations, packets for a given 5-tuple
end up being processed by different CPUS.

This involves RPS, and fragmentation.

배석진 is seeing packet drops when a SYN_RECV request socket is
moved into ESTABLISH state. Other states are protected by socket lock.

This is caused by a CPU losing the race, and simply not caring enough.

Since this seems to occur frequently, we can do better and perform
a second lookup.

Note that all needed memory barriers are already in the existing code,
thanks to the spin_lock()/spin_unlock() pair in inet_ehash_insert()
and reqsk_put(). The second lookup must find the new socket,
unless it has already been accepted and closed by another cpu.

Note that the fragmentation could be avoided in the first place by
use of a correct TCP MSS option in the SYN{ACK} packet, but this
does not mean we can not be more robust.

Many thanks to 배석진 for a very detailed analysis.

<title>bpf: sockmap, add sock close() hook to remove socks</title>

The selftests test_maps program was leaving dangling BPF sockmap
programs around because not all psock elements were removed from
the map. The elements in turn hold a reference on the BPF program
they are attached to causing BPF programs to stay open even after
test_maps has completed.

The original intent was that sk_state_change() would be called
when TCP socks went through TCP_CLOSE state. However, because
socks may be in SOCK_DEAD state or the sock may be a listening
socket the event is not always triggered.

To resolve this use the ULP infrastructure and register our own
proto close() handler. This fixes the above case.

<title>net: add a UID to use for ULP socket assignment</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b11a632c442eef34a0afeba61fab923241f317e9</id>
<content type='text'>
Create a UID field and enum that can be used to assign ULPs to
sockets. This saves a set of string comparisons if the ULP id
is known.

For sockmap, which is added in the next patches, a ULP is used to
hook into TCP sockets close state. In this case the ULP being added
is done at map insert time and the ULP is known and done on the kernel
side. In this case the named lookup is not needed. Because we don't
want to expose psock internals to user space socket options a user
visible flag is also added. For TLS this is set for BPF it will be
cleared.

Alos remove pr_notice, user gets an error code back and should check
that rather than rely on logs.

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
 "This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
  the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
  'make -&gt;poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
  variables used to hold the future return value'.

  Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
  misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
  low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. -&gt;poll() instance
  deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
  in this series - it's large enough as it is.

  Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
  eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
  equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
  arch-independent, but POLL### are not.

  The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
  the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
  in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
  is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
  work on all architectures.

  As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
  it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
  architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
  at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
  architectures"
