[ Upstream commit 1cd354fe1e4864eeaff62f66ee513080ec946f20 ]

In IPv6, ipv6_rcv_core will parse the hop-by-hop type extension header and increase skb-&gt;transport_header by one extension header length.
But if there are more other extension headers like fragment header at this time, the skb-&gt;transport_header points to the second extension header,
not the transport layer header or the first extension header.

This will result in the start and nexthdrp variable not pointing to the same position in ipv6frag_thdr_trunced,
and ipv6_skip_exthdr returning incorrect offset and frag_off.Sometimes,the length of the last sharded packet is smaller than the calculated incorrect offset, resulting in packet loss.
We can use network header to offset and calculate the correct position to solve this problem.

This is a cleanup patch, making code a bit more concise.

1) Use skb_network_offset(skb) in place of
       (skb_network_header(skb) - skb-&gt;data)

2) Use -skb_network_offset(skb) in place of
       (skb-&gt;data - skb_network_header(skb))

3) Use skb_transport_offset(skb) in place of
       (skb_transport_header(skb) - skb-&gt;data)

4) Use skb_inner_transport_offset(skb) in place of
       (skb_inner_transport_header(skb) - skb-&gt;data)

Move from register_net_sysctl to register_net_sysctl_sz for all the
networking related files. Do this while making sure to mirror the NULL
assignments with a table_size of zero for the unprivileged users.

We need to move to the new function in preparation for when we change
SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE() in the register_net_sysctl macro. Failing to do
so would erroneously allow ARRAY_SIZE() to be called on a pointer. We
hold off the SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE change until we have migrated all
the relevant net sysctl registering functions to register_net_sysctl_sz
in subsequent commits.

An additional size function was added to the following files in order to
calculate the size of an array that is defined in another file:
    include/net/ipv6.h
    net/ipv6/icmp.c
    net/ipv6/route.c
    net/ipv6/sysctl_net_ipv6.c

<title>net: ipv6: Handle delivery_time in ipv6 defrag</title>

<id>urn:sha1:335c8cf3b537601e1a42a19996471f1c2572cdec</id>
<content type='text'>
A latter patch will postpone the delivery_time clearing until the stack
knows the skb is being delivered locally (i.e. calling
skb_clear_delivery_time() at ip_local_deliver_finish() for IPv4
and at ip6_input_finish() for IPv6).  That will allow other kernel
forwarding path (e.g. ip[6]_forward) to keep the delivery_time also.

A very similar IPv6 defrag codes have been duplicated in
multiple places: regular IPv6, nf_conntrack, and 6lowpan.

Unlike the IPv4 defrag which is done before ip_local_deliver_finish(),
the regular IPv6 defrag is done after ip6_input_finish().
Thus, no change should be needed in the regular IPv6 defrag
logic because skb_clear_delivery_time() should have been called.

6lowpan also does not need special handling on delivery_time
because it is a non-inet packet_type.

However, cf_conntrack has a case in NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING that needs
to do the IPv6 defrag earlier.  Thus, it needs to save the
mono_delivery_time bit in the inet_frag_queue which is similar
to how it is handled in the previous patch for the IPv4 defrag.

This patch chooses to do it consistently and stores the mono_delivery_time
in the inet_frag_queue for all cases such that it will be easier
for the future refactoring effort on the IPv6 reasm code.

Netfilter is depending on ipv6 symbol ipv6_frag_thdr_truncated. This
dependency is forcing IPV6=y.

Remove this dependency by moving ipv6_frag_thdr_truncated out of ipv6. This

<content type='text'>
Packets are processed even though the first fragment don't include all
headers through the upper layer header. This breaks TAHI IPv6 Core
Conformance Test v6LC.1.3.6.

Referring to RFC8200 SECTION 4.5: "If the first fragment does not include
all headers through an Upper-Layer header, then that fragment should be
discarded and an ICMP Parameter Problem, Code 3, message should be sent to
the source of the fragment, with the Pointer field set to zero."

The fragment needs to be validated the same way it is done in
commit 2efdaaaf883a ("IPv6: reply ICMP error if the first fragment don't
include all headers") for ipv6. Wrap the validation into a common function,
ipv6_frag_thdr_truncated() to check for truncation in the upper layer
header. This validation does not fullfill all aspects of RFC 8200,
section 4.5, but is at the moment sufficient to pass mentioned TAHI test.

In netfilter, utilize the fragment offset returned by find_prev_fhdr() to
let ipv6_frag_thdr_truncated() start it's traverse from the fragment
header.

Return 0 to drop the fragment in the netfilter. This is the same behaviour
as used on other protocol errors in this function, e.g. when
nf_ct_frag6_queue() returns -EPROTO. The Fragment will later be picked up
by ipv6_frag_rcv() in reassembly.c. ipv6_frag_rcv() will then send an
appropriate ICMP Parameter Problem message back to the source.

Based on RFC 8200, Section 4.5 Fragment Header:

  -  If the first fragment does not include all headers through an
     Upper-Layer header, then that fragment should be discarded and
     an ICMP Parameter Problem, Code 3, message should be sent to
     the source of the fragment, with the Pointer field set to zero.

Checking each packet header in IPv6 fast path will have performance impact,
so I put the checking in ipv6_frag_rcv().

As the packet may be any kind of L4 protocol, I only checked some common
protocols' header length and handle others by (offset + 1) &gt; skb-&gt;len.
Also use !(frag_off &amp; htons(IP6_OFFSET)) to catch atomic fragments
(fragmented packet with only one fragment).

When send ICMP error message, if the 1st truncated fragment is ICMP message,
icmp6_send() will break as is_ineligible() return true. So I added a check
in is_ineligible() to let fragment packet with nexthdr ICMP but no ICMP header
return false.

<title>inet: frags: re-introduce skb coalescing for local delivery</title>

<id>urn:sha1:891584f48a9084ba462f10da4c6bb28b6181b543</id>
<content type='text'>
Before commit d4289fcc9b16 ("net: IP6 defrag: use rbtrees for IPv6
defrag"), a netperf UDP_STREAM test[0] using big IPv6 datagrams (thus
generating many fragments) and running over an IPsec tunnel, reported
more than 6Gbps throughput. After that patch, the same test gets only
9Mbps when receiving on a be2net nic (driver can make a big difference
here, for example, ixgbe doesn't seem to be affected).

By reusing the IPv4 defragmentation code, IPv6 lost fragment coalescing
(IPv4 fragment coalescing was dropped by commit 14fe22e33462 ("Revert
"ipv4: use skb coalescing in defragmentation"")).

Without fragment coalescing, be2net runs out of Rx ring entries and
starts to drop frames (ethtool reports rx_drops_no_frags errors). Since
the netperf traffic is only composed of UDP fragments, any lost packet
prevents reassembly of the full datagram. Therefore, fragments which
have no possibility to ever get reassembled pile up in the reassembly
queue, until the memory accounting exeeds the threshold. At that point
no fragment is accepted anymore, which effectively discards all
netperf traffic.

When reassembly timeout expires, some stale fragments are removed from
the reassembly queue, so a few packets can be received, reassembled
and delivered to the netperf receiver. But the nic still drops frames
and soon the reassembly queue gets filled again with stale fragments.
These long time frames where no datagram can be received explain why
the performance drop is so significant.

Re-introducing fragment coalescing is enough to get the initial
performances again (6.6Gbps with be2net): driver doesn't drop frames
anymore (no more rx_drops_no_frags errors) and the reassembly engine
works at full speed.

This patch is quite conservative and only coalesces skbs for local
IPv4 and IPv6 delivery (in order to avoid changing skb geometry when
forwarding). Coalescing could be extended in the future if need be, as
more scenarios would probably benefit from it.
