      net: Define eth_stp_addr in linux/etherdevice.h · 05428729
      Egil Hjelmeland authored 
      The lan9303 driver defines eth_stp_addr as a synonym to
eth_reserved_addr_base to get the STP ethernet address 01:80:c2:00:00:00.

eth_reserved_addr_base is also used to define the start of Bridge Reserved
ethernet address range, which happen to be the STP address.

br_dev_setup refer to eth_reserved_addr_base as a definition of STP
address.

Clean up by:
 - Move the eth_stp_addr definition to linux/etherdevice.h
 - Use eth_stp_addr instead of eth_reserved_addr_base in br_dev_setup.

      tcp: add tracepoint trace_tcp_retransmit_synack() · cf34ce3d
      Song Liu authored 
      This tracepoint can be used to trace synack retransmits. It maintains
pointer to struct request_sock.

We cannot simply reuse trace_tcp_retransmit_skb() here, because the
sk here is the LISTEN socket. The IP addresses and ports should be
extracted from struct request_sock.

Note that, like many other tracepoints, this patch uses IS_ENABLED
in TP_fast_assign macro, which triggers sparse warning like:

./include/trace/events/tcp.h:274:1: error: directive in argument list
./include/trace/events/tcp.h:281:1: error: directive in argument list

However, there is no good solution to avoid these warnings. To the
best of our knowledge, these warnings are harmless.

      ipv6: Implement limits on Hop-by-Hop and Destination options · 47d3d7ac
      Tom Herbert authored 
      RFC 8200 (IPv6) defines Hop-by-Hop options and Destination options
extension headers. Both of these carry a list of TLVs which is
only limited by the maximum length of the extension header (2048
bytes). By the spec a host must process all the TLVs in these
options, however these could be used as a fairly obvious
denial of service attack. I think this could in fact be
a significant DOS vector on the Internet, one mitigating
factor might be that many FWs drop all packets with EH (and
obviously this is only IPv6) so an Internet wide attack might not
be so effective (yet!).

By my calculation, the worse case packet with TLVs in a standard
1500 byte MTU packet that would be processed by the stack contains
1282 invidual TLVs (including pad TLVS) or 724 two byte TLVs. I
wrote a quick test program that floods a whole bunch of these
packets to a host and sure enough there is substantial time spent
in ip6_parse_tlv. These packets contain nothing but unknown TLVS
(that are ignored), TLV padding, and bogus UDP header with zero
payload length.

   1.65%  [kernel]                    [k] dst_release

This patch adds configurable limits to Destination and Hop-by-Hop
options. There are three limits that may be set:
  - Limit the number of options in a Hop-by-Hop or Destination options
    extension header.
  - Limit the byte length of a Hop-by-Hop or Destination options
    extension header.
  - Disallow unrecognized options in a Hop-by-Hop or Destination
    options extension header.

The limits are set in corresponding sysctls:

  ipv6.sysctl.max_dst_opts_cnt
  ipv6.sysctl.max_hbh_opts_cnt
  ipv6.sysctl.max_dst_opts_len
  ipv6.sysctl.max_hbh_opts_len

If a max_*_opts_cnt is less than zero then unknown TLVs are disallowed.
The number of known TLVs that are allowed is the absolute value of
this number.

If a limit is exceeded when processing an extension header the packet is
dropped.

Default values are set to 8 for options counts, and set to INT_MAX
for maximum length. Note the choice to limit options to 8 is an
arbitrary guess (roughly based on the fact that the stack supports
three HBH options and just one destination option).

These limits have being proposed in draft-ietf-6man-rfc6434-bis.

Tested (by Martin Lau)

I tested out 1 thread (i.e. one raw_udp process).

I changed the net.ipv6.max_dst_(opts|hbh)_number between 8 to 2048.
With sysctls setting to 2048, the softirq% is packed to 100%.
With 8, the softirq% is almost unnoticable from mpstat.

v2;
  - Code and documention cleanup.
  - Change references of RFC2460 to be RFC8200.
  - Add reference to RFC6434-bis where the limits will be in standard.
