[ Upstream commit 9e2b7fa2df4365e99934901da4fb4af52d81e820 ]

VRF devices use an optimized direct path on output if a default qdisc
is involved, calling Netfilter hooks directly. This path, however, does
not consider Netfilter rules completing asynchronously, such as with
NFQUEUE. The Netfilter okfn() is called for asynchronously accepted
packets, but the VRF never passes that packet down the stack to send
it out over the slave device. Using the slower redirect path for this
seems not feasible, as we do not know beforehand if a Netfilter hook
has asynchronously completing rules.

Fix the use of asynchronously completing Netfilter rules in OUTPUT and
POSTROUTING by using a special completion function that additionally
calls dst_output() to pass the packet down the stack. Also, slightly
adjust the use of nf_reset_ct() so that is called in the asynchronous
case, too.

To avoid a loop with qdiscs and xfrms, check if the skb has already gone
through the qdisc attached to the VRF device and then to the xfrm layer.
If so, no need for a second redirect.

[ Upstream commit a53c102872ad6e34e1518e25899dc9498c27f8b1 ]

When a qdisc is attached to the VRF device, the packet goes down the ndo
xmit function which is setup to send the packet back to the VRF driver
which does a lookup to send the packet out. The lookup in the VRF driver
is not considering xfrm policies. Change it to use ip6_dst_lookup_flow
rather than ip6_route_output.

<title>net: core: add generic lockdep keys</title>

Some interface types could be nested.
(VLAN, BONDING, TEAM, MACSEC, MACVLAN, IPVLAN, VIRT_WIFI, VXLAN, etc..)
These interface types should set lockdep class because, without lockdep
class key, lockdep always warn about unexisting circular locking.

In the current code, these interfaces have their own lockdep class keys and
these manage itself. So that there are so many duplicate code around the
/driver/net and /net/.
This patch adds new generic lockdep keys and some helper functions for it.

This patch does below changes.
a) Add lockdep class keys in struct net_device
   - qdisc_running, xmit, addr_list, qdisc_busylock
   - these keys are used as dynamic lockdep key.
b) When net_device is being allocated, lockdep keys are registered.
   - alloc_netdev_mqs()
c) When net_device is being free'd llockdep keys are unregistered.
   - free_netdev()
d) Add generic lockdep key helper function
   - netdev_register_lockdep_key()
   - netdev_unregister_lockdep_key()
   - netdev_update_lockdep_key()
e) Remove unnecessary generic lockdep macro and functions
f) Remove unnecessary lockdep code of each interfaces.

After this patch, each interface modules don't need to maintain
their lockdep keys.

<title>netfilter: drop bridge nf reset from nf_reset</title>

commit 174e23810cd31
("sk_buff: drop all skb extensions on free and skb scrubbing") made napi
recycle always drop skb extensions.  The additional skb_ext_del() that is
performed via nf_reset on napi skb recycle is not needed anymore.

Most nf_reset() calls in the stack are there so queued skb won't block
'rmmod nf_conntrack' indefinitely.

This removes the skb_ext_del from nf_reset, and renames it to a more
fitting nf_reset_ct().

In a few selected places, add a call to skb_ext_reset to make sure that
no active extensions remain.

I am submitting this for "net", because we're still early in the release
cycle.  The patch applies to net-next too, but I think the rename causes
needless divergence between those trees.

vrf_process_v4_outbound() and vrf_process_v6_outbound() do routing
using ip/ipv6 addresses, but don't make sure the header is available
in skb-&gt;data[] (skb_headlen() is less then header size).

Case:

1) igb driver from intel.
2) Packet size is greater then 255.
3) MPLS forwards to VRF device.

So, patch adds pskb_may_pull() calls in vrf_process_v4/v6_outbound()
functions.

The new route handling in ip_mc_finish_output() from 'net' overlapped
with the new support for returning congestion notifications from BPF
programs.

In order to handle this I had to take the dev_loopback_xmit() calls
out of the switch statement.

The aquantia driver conflicts were simple overlapping changes.

<title>ipv6: convert major tx path to use RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF</title>

<id>7d9e5f422150ed00de744e02a80734d74cc9704d</id>
<content type='text'>
For tx path, in most cases, we still have to take refcnt on the dst
cause the caller is caching the dst somewhere. But it still is
beneficial to make use of RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF flag while doing the
route lookup. It is cause this flag prevents manipulating refcnt on
net-&gt;ipv6.ip6_null_entry when doing fib6_rule_lookup() to traverse each
routing table. The null_entry is a shared object and constant updates on
it cause false sharing.

We converted the current major lookup function ip6_route_output_flags()
to make use of RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF.

Together with the change in the rx path, we see noticable performance
boost:
I ran synflood tests between 2 hosts under the same switch. Both hosts
have 20G mlx NIC, and 8 tx/rx queues.
Sender sends pure SYN flood with random src IPs and ports using trafgen.
Receiver has a simple TCP listener on the target port.
Both hosts have multiple custom rules:
- For incoming packets, only local table is traversed.
- For outgoing packets, 3 tables are traversed to find the route.
The packet processing rate on the receiver is as follows:
- Before the fix: 3.78Mpps
- After the fix:  5.50Mpps

boost:
I ran synflood tests between 2 hosts under the same switch. Both hosts
have 20G mlx NIC, and 8 tx/rx queues.
Sender sends pure SYN flood with random src IPs and ports using trafgen.
Receiver has a simple TCP listener on the target port.
Both hosts have multiple custom rules:
- For incoming packets, only local table is traversed.
- For outgoing packets, 3 tables are traversed to find the route.
The packet processing rate on the receiver is as follows:
- Before the fix: 3.78Mpps
- After the fix:  5.50Mpps
