After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal
implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto
structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now.
Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of
implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire
networking stack.

Currently the iocb argument is used to idenfiy whether or not socket
lock is hold before tipc_sendmsg()/tipc_send_stream() is called. But
this usage prevents iocb argument from being dropped through sendmsg()
at socket common layer. Therefore, in the commit we introduce two new
functions called __tipc_sendmsg() and __tipc_send_stream(). When they
are invoked, it assumes that their callers have taken socket lock,
thereby avoiding the weird usage of iocb argument.

net: move skb->dropcount to skb->cb[]

Commit 97775007 ("af_packet: add interframe drop cmsg (v6)")
unionized skb->mark and skb->dropcount in order to allow recording
of the socket drop count while maintaining struct sk_buff size.

skb->dropcount was introduced since there was no available room
in skb->cb[] in packet sockets. However, its introduction led to
the inability to export skb->mark to userspace.

It was considered to alias skb->priority instead of skb->mark.
However, that would lead to the inabilty to export skb->priority
to userspace if desired. Such change may also lead to hard-to-find
issues as skb->priority is assumed to be alias free, and, as noted
by Shmulik Ladkani, is not 'naturally orthogonal' with other skb
fields.

This patch series follows the suggestions made by Eric Dumazet moving
the dropcount metric to skb->cb[], eliminating this problem
at the expense of 4 bytes less in skb->cb[] for protocol families
using it.

The patch series include compactization of bluetooth and packet
use of skb->cb[] as well as the infrastructure for placing dropcount
in skb->cb[].

Commit 3b885787 ("net: Generalize socket rx gap / receive queue overflow cmsg")
allowed receiving packet dropcount information as a socket level option.
RXRPC sockets recvmsg function was changed to support this by calling
sock_recv_ts_and_drops() instead of sock_recv_timestamp().

However, protocol families wishing to receive dropcount should call
sock_queue_rcv_skb() or set the dropcount specifically (as done
in packet_rcv()). This was not done for rxrpc and thus this feature
never worked on these sockets.

When a PADT frame is received, the socket may not be in a good state to
close down the PPP interface. The current implementation handles this by
simply blocking all further PPP traffic, and hoping that the lack of traffic
will trigger the user to investigate.

Use schedule_work to get to a process context from which we clear down the
PPP interface, in a fashion analogous to hangup on a TTY-based PPP
interface. This causes pppd to disconnect immediately, and allows tools to
take immediate corrective action.

Note that pppd's rp_pppoe.so plugin has code in it to disable the session
when it disconnects; however, as a consequence of this patch, the session is
already disabled before rp_pppoe.so is asked to disable the session. The
result is a harmless error message:

Failed to disconnect PPPoE socket: 114 Operation already in progress

This message is safe to ignore, as long as the error is 114 Operation
already in progress; in that specific case, it means that the PPPoE session
has already been disabled before pppd tried to disable it.

eBPF support for cls_bpf

This is the non-RFC version of my patchset posted before netdev01 [1]
conference. It contains a couple of eBPF cleanups and preparation
patches to get eBPF support into cls_bpf. The last patch adds the
actual support. I'll post the iproute2 parts after the kernel bits
are merged, an initial preview link to the code is mentioned in the
last patch.

Patch 4 and 5 were originally one patch, but I've split them into
two parts upon request as patch 4 only is also needed for Alexei's
tracing patches that go via tip tree.

Tested with tc and all in-kernel available BPF test suites.

I have configured and built LLVM with --enable-experimental-targets=BPF

Thanks a lot!

This work extends the "classic" BPF programmable tc classifier by
extending its scope also to native eBPF code!

This allows for user space to implement own custom, 'safe' C like
classifiers (or whatever other frontend language LLVM et al may
provide in future), that can then be compiled with the LLVM eBPF
backend to an eBPF elf file. The result of this can be loaded into
the kernel via iproute2's tc. In the kernel, they can be JITed on
major archs and thus run in native performance.

Simple, minimal toy example to demonstrate the workflow:

  #include <linux/ip.h>
  #include <linux/if_ether.h>
  #include <linux/bpf.h>

  #include "tc_bpf_api.h"

  __section("classify")
  int cls_main(struct sk_buff *skb)
  {
    return (0x800 << 16) | load_byte(skb, ETH_HLEN + __builtin_offsetof(struct iphdr, tos));
  }

  char __license[] __section("license") = "GPL";

The classifier can then be compiled into eBPF opcodes and loaded
via tc, for example:

  clang -O2 -emit-llvm -c cls.c -o - | llc -march=bpf -filetype=obj -o cls.o
  tc filter add dev em1 parent 1: bpf cls.o [...]

As it has been demonstrated, the scope can even reach up to a fully
fledged flow dissector (similarly as in samples/bpf/sockex2_kern.c).

For tc, maps are allowed to be used, but from kernel context only,
in other words, eBPF code can keep state across filter invocations.
In future, we perhaps may reattach from a different application to
those maps e.g., to read out collected statistics/state.

Similarly as in socket filters, we may extend functionality for eBPF
classifiers over time depending on the use cases. For that purpose,
cls_bpf programs are using BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_CLS program type, so
we can allow additional functions/accessors (e.g. an ABI compatible
offset translation to skb fields/metadata). For an initial cls_bpf
support, we allow the same set of helper functions as eBPF socket
filters, but we could diverge at some point in time w/o problem.

I was wondering whether cls_bpf and act_bpf could share C programs,
I can imagine that at some point, we introduce i) further common
handlers for both (or even beyond their scope), and/or if truly needed
ii) some restricted function space for each of them. Both can be
abstracted easily through struct bpf_verifier_ops in future.

The context of cls_bpf versus act_bpf is slightly different though:
a cls_bpf program will return a specific classid whereas act_bpf a
drop/non-drop return code, latter may also in future mangle skbs.
That said, we can surely have a "classify" and "action" section in
a single object file, or considered mentioned constraint add a
possibility of a shared section.

The workflow for getting native eBPF running from tc [1] is as
follows: for f_bpf, I've added a slightly modified ELF parser code
from Alexei's kernel sample, which reads out the LLVM compiled
object, sets up maps (and dynamically fixes up map fds) if any, and
loads the eBPF instructions all centrally through the bpf syscall.

The resulting fd from the loaded program itself is being passed down
to cls_bpf, which looks up struct bpf_prog from the fd store, and
holds reference, so that it stays available also after tc program
lifetime. On tc filter destruction, it will then drop its reference.

Moreover, I've also added the optional possibility to annotate an
eBPF filter with a name (e.g. path to object file, or something
else if preferred) so that when tc dumps currently installed filters,
some more context can be given to an admin for a given instance (as
opposed to just the file descriptor number).

Last but not least, bpf_prog_get() and bpf_prog_put() needed to be
exported, so that eBPF can be used from cls_bpf built as a module.
Thanks to 60a3b225 ("net: bpf: make eBPF interpreter images
read-only") I think this is of no concern since anything wanting to
alter eBPF opcode after verification stage would crash the kernel.

As discussed recently and at netconf/netdev01, we want to prevent making
bpf_verifier_ops registration available for modules, but have them at a
controlled place inside the kernel instead.

The reason for this is, that out-of-tree modules can go crazy and define
and register any verfifier ops they want, doing all sorts of crap, even
bypassing available GPLed eBPF helper functions. We don't want to offer
such a shiny playground, of course, but keep strict control to ourselves
inside the core kernel.

This also encourages us to design eBPF user helpers carefully and
generically, so they can be shared among various subsystems using eBPF.

For the eBPF traffic classifier (cls_bpf), it's a good start to share
the same helper facilities as we currently do in eBPF for socket filters.

That way, we have BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_CLS look like it's own type, thus
one day if there's a good reason to diverge the set of helper functions
from the set available to socket filters, we keep ABI compatibility.

In future, we could place all bpf_prog_type_list at a central place,
perhaps.

tcp: tso improvements

====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Another TCP issue is triggered by ECN.

Under pressure, receiver gets ECN marks, and send back ACK packets
with ECE TCP flag. Senders enter CA_CWR state.

In this state, tcp_tso_should_defer() is short cut :

if (icsk->icsk_ca_state != TCP_CA_Open)
    goto send_now;

This means that about all ACK packets we receive are triggering
a partial send, and because cwnd is kept small, we can only send
a small amount of data for each incoming ACK,
which in return generate more ACK packets.

Allowing CA_Open and CA_CWR states to enable TSO defer in
tcp_tso_should_defer() brings performance back :
TSO autodefer has more chance to defer under pressure.

This patch increases TSO and LRO/GRO efficiency back to normal levels,
and does not impact overall ECN behavior.

With sysctl_tcp_min_tso_segs being 4, it is very possible
that tcp_tso_should_defer() decides not sending last 2 MSS
of initial window of 10 packets. This also applies if
autosizing decides to send X MSS per GSO packet, and cwnd
is not a multiple of X.

This patch implements an heuristic based on age of first
skb in write queue : If it was sent very recently (less than half srtt),
we can predict that no ACK packet will come in less than half rtt,
so deferring might cause an under utilization of our window.

This is visible on initial send (IW10) on web servers,
but more generally on some RPC, as the last part of the message
might need an extra RTT to get delivered.

TSO relies on ability to defer sending a small amount of packets.
Heuristic is to wait for future ACKS in hope to send more packets at once.
Current algorithm uses a per socket tso_deferred field as a pseudo timer.

This pseudo timer relies on future ACK, but there is no guarantee
we receive them in time.

Fix would be to use a real timer, but cost of such timer is probably too
expensive for typical cases.

This patch changes the logic to test the time of last transmit,
because we should not add bursts of more than 1ms for any given flow.
