(c7232c99 netfilter: add protocol independent NAT core) introduced a
problem that leads to crashing during boot due to NULL pointer
dereference. It seems that xt_nat calls xt_register_target() before
xt_init():

net/netfilter/x_tables.c:static struct xt_af *xt; is NULL and we crash on
xt_register_target(struct xt_target *target)
{
        u_int8_t af = target->family;
        int ret;

        ret = mutex_lock_interruptible(&xt[af].mutex);
...

Fix this by changing the linking order, to make sure that x_tables
comes before xt_nat.

Use proportional rate reduction (PRR) algorithm to reduce cwnd in CWR state,
in addition to Recovery state. Retire the current rate-halving in CWR.
When losses are detected via ACKs in CWR state, the sender enters Recovery
state but the cwnd reduction continues and does not restart.

Rename and refactor cwnd reduction functions since both CWR and Recovery
use the same algorithm:
tcp_init_cwnd_reduction() is new and initiates reduction state variables.
tcp_cwnd_reduction() is previously tcp_update_cwnd_in_recovery().
tcp_ends_cwnd_reduction() is previously  tcp_complete_cwr().

The rate halving functions and logic such as tcp_cwnd_down(), tcp_min_cwnd(),
and the cwnd moderation inside tcp_enter_cwr() are removed. The unused
parameter, flag, in tcp_cwnd_reduction() is also removed.

Jerry Chu says:

====================
This patch series provides the server (passive open) side code
for TCP Fast Open. Together with the earlier client side patches
it completes the TCP Fast Open implementation.

The server side Fast Open code accepts data carried in the SYN
packet with a valid Fast Open cookie, and passes it to the
application right away, allowing application to send back response
data, all before TCP's 3-way handshake finishes.

A simple cookie scheme together with capping the number of
outstanding TFO requests (still in TCP_SYN_RECV state) to a limit
per listener forms the main line of defense against spoofed SYN
attacks.

For more details about TCP Fast Open see our IETF internet draft
at http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-fastopen-01.txt
and a research paper at
http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2011/papers/1569470463.pdf

A prototype implementation was first developed by Sivasankar
Radhakrishnan (sivasankar@cs.ucsd.edu).

A patch based on an older version of Linux kernel has been
undergoing internal tests at Google for the past few months.

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

This patch adds the main processing path to complete the TFO server
patches.

A TFO request (i.e., SYN+data packet with a TFO cookie option) first
gets processed in tcp_v4_conn_request(). If it passes the various TFO
checks by tcp_fastopen_check(), a child socket will be created right
away to be accepted by applications, rather than waiting for the 3WHS
to finish.

In additon to the use of TFO cookie, a simple max_qlen based scheme
is put in place to fend off spoofed TFO attack.

When a valid ACK comes back to tcp_rcv_state_process(), it will cause
the state of the child socket to switch from either TCP_SYN_RECV to
TCP_ESTABLISHED, or TCP_FIN_WAIT1 to TCP_FIN_WAIT2. At this time
retransmission will resume for any unack'ed (data, FIN,...) segments.

This patch builds on top of the previous patch to add the support
for TFO listeners. This includes -

1. allocating, properly initializing, and managing the per listener
fastopen_queue structure when TFO is enabled

2. changes to the inet_csk_accept code to support TFO. E.g., the
request_sock can no longer be freed upon accept(), not until 3WHS
finishes

3. allowing a TCP_SYN_RECV socket to properly poll() and sendmsg()
if it's a TFO socket

4. properly closing a TFO listener, and a TFO socket before 3WHS
finishes

5. supporting TCP_FASTOPEN socket option

6. modifying tcp_check_req() to use to check a TFO socket as well
as request_sock

7. supporting TCP's TFO cookie option

8. adding a new SYN-ACK retransmit handler to use the timer directly
off the TFO socket rather than the listener socket. Note that TFO
server side will not retransmit anything other than SYN-ACK until
the 3WHS is completed.

The patch also contains an important function
"reqsk_fastopen_remove()" to manage the somewhat complex relation
between a listener, its request_sock, and the corresponding child
socket. See the comment above the function for the detail.

This patch adds all the necessary data structure and support
functions to implement TFO server side. It also documents a number
of flags for the sysctl_tcp_fastopen knob, and adds a few Linux
extension MIBs.

In addition, it includes the following:

1. a new TCP_FASTOPEN socket option an application must call to
supply a max backlog allowed in order to enable TFO on its listener.

2. A number of key data structures:
"fastopen_rsk" in tcp_sock - for a big socket to access its
request_sock for retransmission and ack processing purpose. It is
non-NULL iff 3WHS not completed.

"fastopenq" in request_sock_queue - points to a per Fast Open
listener data structure "fastopen_queue" to keep track of qlen (# of
outstanding Fast Open requests) and max_qlen, among other things.

"listener" in tcp_request_sock - to point to the original listener
for book-keeping purpose, i.e., to maintain qlen against max_qlen
as part of defense against IP spoofing attack.

3. various data structure and functions, many in tcp_fastopen.c, to
support server side Fast Open cookie operations, including
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fastopen_key to allow manual rekeying.

Currently, all the time limits in the bonding ARP monitor are in
multiples of arp_interval -- the time interval at which the ARP
monitor is periodically scheduled.

With a fast network round-trip and a little scheduling latency
of the ARP monitor work, a limit of n*delta_in_ticks may
effectively mean (n-1)*delta_in_ticks.

This is fatal in case of n==1  (the link will stay down
forever) and makes the behaviour non-deterministic in all the
other cases.

Add a delta_in_ticks/2 time slack to all the time limits.

skb_needs_linearize() does not check highmem DMA as it does not call
illegal_highdma() anymore, so there is no need to mention highmem DMA here.

(Indeed, ~NETIF_F_SG flag, which is checked in skb_needs_linearize(), can
be set when illegal_highdma() returns true, and we are assured that
illegal_highdma() is invoked prior to skb_needs_linearize() as
skb_needs_linearize() is a static method called only once.
But ~NETIF_F_SG can be set not only there in this same invocation path.
It can also be set when can_checksum_protocol() returns false).

In ipv4_mtu there is some logic where we are testing for a non-zero value
and a timer expiration, then setting the value to zero, and then testing if
the value is zero we set it to a value based on the dst.  Instead of
bothering with the extra steps it is easier to just cleanup the logic so
that we set it to the dst based value if it is zero or if the timer has
expired.

Use case here is, if BSP considers using mdio-gpio bus along with stmmac
driver by passing mdio_bus_data as NULL in platform data.
Call to stmmac_mdio_register with mdio_bus_data as NULL returns 0, which
is a considered sucessfull call form stmmac. Then again when we unload
the driver we just call stmmac_mdio_unregister, this is were the actual
problem is stmmac-mdio code dont really know at this instance of calling
that stmmac_mdio_register was actually successful.

So Adding a check in stmmac_mdio_unregister is always safe.

Without this patch stmmac driver calls stmmac_mdio_register from
stmmac_release which Segfaults as mii bus was never registered at the
first point.

Originally the this bug was found when unloading an stmmac driver
instance which uses mdio-gpio for smi access.

The callback function of call_rcu() just calls a kfree(), so we
can use kfree_rcu() instead of call_rcu() + callback function.

spatch with a semantic match is used to found this problem.

Commit 9ad7c049 ("tcp: RFC2988bis + taking RTT sample from 3WHS for
the passive open side") changed the initRTO from 3secs to 1sec in
accordance to RFC6298 (former RFC2988bis). This reduced the time till
the last SYN retransmission packet gets sent from 93secs to 31secs.

RFC1122 is stating that the retransmission should be done for at least 3
minutes, but this seems to be quite high.

  "However, the values of R1 and R2 may be different for SYN
  and data segments.  In particular, R2 for a SYN segment MUST
  be set large enough to provide retransmission of the segment
  for at least 3 minutes.  The application can close the
  connection (i.e., give up on the open attempt) sooner, of
  course."

This patch increases the value of TCP_SYN_RETRIES to the value of 6,
providing a retransmission window of 63secs.

The comments for SYN and SYNACK retries have also been updated to
describe the current settings. The same goes for the documentation file
"Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt".
