Users who want to share a single public IP address for outgoing connections
between several hosts traditionally reach for SNAT. However, SNAT requires
state keeping on the node(s) performing the NAT.

A stateless alternative exists, where a single IP address used for egress
can be shared between several hosts by partitioning the available ephemeral
port range. In such a setup:

1. Each host gets assigned a disjoint range of ephemeral ports.
2. Applications open connections from the host-assigned port range.
3. Return traffic gets routed to the host based on both, the destination IP
   and the destination port.

An application which wants to open an outgoing connection (connect) from a
given port range today can choose between two solutions:

1. Manually pick the source port by bind()'ing to it before connect()'ing
   the socket.

   This approach has a couple of downsides:

   a) Search for a free port has to be implemented in the user-space. If
      the chosen 4-tuple happens to be busy, the application needs to retry
      from a different local port number.

      Detecting if 4-tuple is busy can be either easy (TCP) or hard
      (UDP). In TCP case, the application simply has to check if connect()
      returned an error (EADDRNOTAVAIL). That is assuming that the local
      port sharing was enabled (REUSEADDR) by all the sockets.

        # Assume desired local port range is 60_000-60_511
        s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
        s.setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
        s.bind(("192.0.2.1", 60_000))
        s.connect(("1.1.1.1", 53))
        # Fails only if 192.0.2.1:60000 -&gt; 1.1.1.1:53 is busy
        # Application must retry with another local port

      In case of UDP, the network stack allows binding more than one socket
      to the same 4-tuple, when local port sharing is enabled
      (REUSEADDR). Hence detecting the conflict is much harder and involves
      querying sock_diag and toggling the REUSEADDR flag [1].

   b) For TCP, bind()-ing to a port within the ephemeral port range means
      that no connecting sockets, that is those which leave it to the
      network stack to find a free local port at connect() time, can use
      the this port.

      IOW, the bind hash bucket tb-&gt;fastreuse will be 0 or 1, and the port
      will be skipped during the free port search at connect() time.

2. Isolate the app in a dedicated netns and use the use the per-netns
   ip_local_port_range sysctl to adjust the ephemeral port range bounds.

   The per-netns setting affects all sockets, so this approach can be used
   only if:

   - there is just one egress IP address, or
   - the desired egress port range is the same for all egress IP addresses
     used by the application.

   For TCP, this approach avoids the downsides of (1). Free port search and
   4-tuple conflict detection is done by the network stack:

     system("sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range='60000 60511'")

     s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
     s.setsockopt(SOL_IP, IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT, 1)
     s.bind(("192.0.2.1", 0))
     s.connect(("1.1.1.1", 53))
     # Fails if all 4-tuples 192.0.2.1:60000-60511 -&gt; 1.1.1.1:53 are busy

  For UDP this approach has limited applicability. Setting the
  IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT socket option does not result in local source
  port being shared with other connected UDP sockets.

  Hence relying on the network stack to find a free source port, limits the
  number of outgoing UDP flows from a single IP address down to the number
  of available ephemeral ports.

To put it another way, partitioning the ephemeral port range between hosts
using the existing Linux networking API is cumbersome.

To address this use case, add a new socket option at the SOL_IP level,
named IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE. The new option can be used to clamp down the
ephemeral port range for each socket individually.

The option can be used only to narrow down the per-netns local port
range. If the per-socket range lies outside of the per-netns range, the
latter takes precedence.

UAPI-wise, the low and high range bounds are passed to the kernel as a pair
of u16 values in host byte order packed into a u32. This avoids pointer
passing.

  PORT_LO = 40_000
  PORT_HI = 40_511

  s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
  v = struct.pack("I", PORT_HI &lt;&lt; 16 | PORT_LO)
  s.setsockopt(SOL_IP, IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE, v)
  s.bind(("127.0.0.1", 0))
  s.getsockname()
  # Local address between ("127.0.0.1", 40_000) and ("127.0.0.1", 40_511),
  # if there is a free port. EADDRINUSE otherwise.

<title>net: allow unbound socket for packets in VRF when tcp_l3mdev_accept set</title>

<content type='text'>
The commit 3c82a21f4320 ("net: allow binding socket in a VRF when
there's an unbound socket") changed the inet socket lookup to avoid
packets in a VRF from matching an unbound socket. This is to ensure the
necessary isolation between the default and other VRFs for routing and
forwarding. VRF-unaware processes running in the default VRF cannot
access another VRF and have to be run with 'ip vrf exec &lt;vrf&gt;'. This is
to be expected with tcp_l3mdev_accept disabled, but could be reallowed
when this sysctl option is enabled. So instead of directly checking dif
and sdif in inet[6]_match, here call inet_sk_bound_dev_eq(). This
allows a match on unbound socket for non-zero sdif i.e. for packets in
a VRF, if tcp_l3mdev_accept is enabled.

Commit 8a59f9d1e3d4 ("sock: Introduce sk-&gt;sk_prot-&gt;psock_update_sk_prot()")
has moved the inet_csk_has_ulp(sk) check from sk_psock_init() to
the new tcp_bpf_update_proto() function. I'm guessing that this
was done to allow creating psocks for non-inet sockets.

Unfortunately the destruction path for psock includes the ULP
unwind, so we need to fail the sk_psock_init() itself.
Otherwise if ULP is already present we'll notice that later,
and call tcp_update_ulp() with the sk_proto of the ULP
itself, which will most likely result in the ULP looping
its callbacks.

<content type='text'>
Add support to inet v4 raw sockets for binding to nonlocal addresses
through the IP_FREEBIND and IP_TRANSPARENT socket options, as well as
the ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind kernel parameter.

Add helper function to inet_sock.h to check for bind address validity on
the base of the address type and whether nonlocal address are enabled
for the socket via any of the sockopts/sysctl, deduplicating checks in
ipv4/ping.c, ipv4/af_inet.c, ipv6/af_inet6.c (for mapped v4-&gt;v6
addresses), and ipv4/raw.c.

Add test cases with IP[V6]_FREEBIND verifying that both v4 and v6 raw
sockets support binding to nonlocal addresses after the change. Add
necessary support for the test cases to nettest.

Increase cache locality by moving rx_dst_ifindex next to sk-&gt;sk_rx_dst

This is part of an effort to reduce cache line misses in TCP fast path.

This removes one cache line miss in early demux.

This is no longer used, SCTP now uses a private helper.
