      net: dsa: bcm_sf2: Also configure Port 5 for 2Gb/sec on 7278 · 7458bd54
      Florian Fainelli authored 
      Either port 5 or port 8 can be used on a 7278 device, make sure that
port 5 also gets configured properly for 2Gb/sec in that case.

      tcp-zerocopy: Return sk_err (if set) along with tcp receive zerocopy. · 33946518
      Arjun Roy authored 
      This patchset is intended to reduce the number of extra system calls
imposed by TCP receive zerocopy. For ping-pong RPC style workloads,
this patchset has demonstrated a system call reduction of about 30%
when coupled with userspace changes.

For applications using epoll, returning sk_err along with the result
of tcp receive zerocopy could remove the need to call
recvmsg()=-EAGAIN after a spurious wakeup.

Consider a multi-threaded application using epoll. A thread may awaken
with EPOLLIN but another thread may already be reading. The
spuriously-awoken thread does not necessarily know that another thread
'won'; rather, it may be possible that it was woken up due to the
presence of an error if there is no data. A zerocopy read receiving 0
bytes thus would need to be followed up by recvmsg to be sure.

Instead, we return sk_err directly with zerocopy, so the application
can avoid this extra system call.

For applications using edge-triggered epoll, returning inq along with
the result of tcp receive zerocopy could remove the need to call
recvmsg()=-EAGAIN after a successful zerocopy. Generally speaking,
since normally we would need to perform a recvmsg() call for every
successful small RPC read via TCP receive zerocopy, returning inq can
reduce the number of system calls performed by approximately half.

====================
Enhance virtio-vsock connection semantics

This series improves the semantics behind the way virtio-vsock server
accepts connections coming from the client. Whenever the server
receives a connection request from the client, if it is bound to the
socket but not yet listening, it will answer with a RST packet. The
point is to ensure each request from the client is quickly processed
so that the client can decide about the strategy of retrying or not.

The series includes along with the improvement patch a new test to
ensure the behavior is consistent across all hypervisors drivers.

      tools: testing: vsock: Test when server is bound but not listening · 9de9f7d1
      Sebastien Boeuf authored 
      Whenever the server side of vsock is binding to the socket, but not
listening yet, we expect the behavior from the client to be identical to
what happens when the server is not even started.

This new test runs the server side so that it binds to the socket
without ever listening to it. The client side will try to connect and
should receive an ECONNRESET error.

This new test provides a way to validate the previously introduced patch
for making sure the server side will always answer with a RST packet in
case the client requested a new connection.

      net: virtio_vsock: Enhance connection semantics · df12eb6d
      Sebastien Boeuf authored 
      Whenever the vsock backend on the host sends a packet through the RX
queue, it expects an answer on the TX queue. Unfortunately, there is one
case where the host side will hang waiting for the answer and might
effectively never recover if no timeout mechanism was implemented.

This issue happens when the guest side starts binding to the socket,
which insert a new bound socket into the list of already bound sockets.
At this time, we expect the guest to also start listening, which will
trigger the sk_state to move from TCP_CLOSE to TCP_LISTEN. The problem
occurs if the host side queued a RX packet and triggered an interrupt
right between the end of the binding process and the beginning of the
listening process. In this specific case, the function processing the
packet virtio_transport_recv_pkt() will find a bound socket, which means
it will hit the switch statement checking for the sk_state, but the
state won't be changed into TCP_LISTEN yet, which leads the code to pick
the default statement. This default statement will only free the buffer,
while it should also respond to the host side, by sending a packet on
its TX queue.

In order to simply fix this unfortunate chain of events, it is important
that in case the default statement is entered, and because at this stage
we know the host side is waiting for an answer, we must send back a
packet containing the operation VIRTIO_VSOCK_OP_RST.

One could say that a proper timeout mechanism on the host side will be
enough to avoid the backend to hang. But the point of this patch is to
ensure the normal use case will be provided with proper responsiveness
when it comes to establishing the connection.

      lib: objagg: Replace zero-length arrays with flexible-array member · 1f4c51de
      Gustavo A. R. Silva authored 
      The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertenly introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

      Merge branch 'icmp-account-for-NAT-when-sending-icmps-from-ndo-layer' · 803381f9
      David S. Miller authored 
      Jason A. Donenfeld says:

====================
icmp: account for NAT when sending icmps from ndo layer

The ICMP routines use the source address for two reasons:

1. Rate-limiting ICMP transmissions based on source address, so
   that one source address cannot provoke a flood of replies. If
   the source address is wrong, the rate limiting will be
   incorrectly applied.

2. Choosing the interface and hence new source address of the
   generated ICMP packet. If the original packet source address
   is wrong, ICMP replies will be sent from the wrong source
   address, resulting in either a misdelivery, infoleak, or just
   general network admin confusion.

Most of the time, the icmp_send and icmpv6_send routines can just reach
down into the skb's IP header to determine the saddr. However, if
icmp_send or icmpv6_send is being called from a network device driver --
there are a few in the tree -- then it's possible that by the time
icmp_send or icmpv6_send looks at the packet, the packet's source
address has already been transformed by SNAT or MASQUERADE or some other
transformation that CONNTRACK knows about. In this case, the packet's
source address is most certainly the *wrong* source address to be used
for the purpose of ICMP replies.

Rather, the source address we want to use for ICMP replies is the
original one, from before the transformation occurred.

Fortunately, it's very easy to just ask CONNTRACK if it knows about this
packet, and if so, how to fix it up. The saddr is the only field in the
header we need to fix up, for the purposes of the subsequent processing
in the icmp_send and icmpv6_send functions, so we do the lookup very
early on, so that the rest of the ICMP machinery can progress as usual.

Changes v3->v4:
- Add back the skb_shared checking, since the previous assumption isn't
  actually true [Eric]. This implies dropping the additional patches v3 had
  for removing skb_share_check from various drivers. We can revisit that
  general set of ideas later, but that's probably better suited as a net-next
  patchset rather than this stable one which is geared at fixing bugs. So,
  this implements things in the safe conservative way.

Changes v2->v3:
- Add selftest to ensure this actually does what we want and never regresses.
- Check the size of the skb header before operating on it.
- Use skb_ensure_writable to ensure we can modify the cloned skb [Florian].
- Conditionalize this on IPS_SRC_NAT so we don't do anything unnecessarily
  [Florian].
- It turns out that since we're calling these from the xmit path,
  skb_share_check isn't required, so remove that [Florian]. This simplifes the
  code a bit too. **The supposition here is that skbs passed to ndo_start_xmit
  are _never_ shared. If this is not correct NOW IS THE TIME TO PIPE UP, for
  doom awaits us later.**
- While investigating the shared skb business, several drivers appeared to be
  calling it incorrectly in the xmit path, so this series also removes those
  unnecessary calls, based on the supposition mentioned in the previous point.

Changes v1->v2:
- icmpv6 takes subtly different types than icmpv4, like u32 instead of be32,
  u8 instead of int.
- Since we're technically writing to the skb, we need to make sure it's not
  a shared one [Dave, 2017].
- Restore the original skb data after icmp_send returns. All current users
  are freeing the packet right after, so it doesn't matter, but future users
  might not.
- Remove superfluous route lookup in sunvnet [Dave].
- Use NF_NAT instead of NF_CONNTRACK for condition [Florian].
- Include this cover letter [Dave].
