[ Upstream commit 0e4d354762cefd3e16b4cff8988ff276e45effc4 ]

The IP_UNICAST_IF socket option is used to set the outgoing interface
for outbound packets.

The IP_UNICAST_IF socket option was added as it was needed by the
Wine project, since no other existing option (SO_BINDTODEVICE socket
option, IP_PKTINFO socket option or the bind function) provided the
needed characteristics needed by the IP_UNICAST_IF socket option. [1]
The IP_UNICAST_IF socket option works well for unconnected sockets,
that is, the interface specified by the IP_UNICAST_IF socket option
is taken into consideration in the route lookup process when a packet
is being sent. However, for connected sockets, the outbound interface
is chosen when connecting the socket, and in the route lookup process
which is done when a packet is being sent, the interface specified by
the IP_UNICAST_IF socket option is being ignored.

This inconsistent behavior was reported and discussed in an issue
opened on systemd's GitHub project [2]. Also, a bug report was
submitted in the kernel's bugzilla [3].

To understand the problem in more detail, we can look at what happens
for UDP packets over IPv4 (The same analysis was done separately in
the referenced systemd issue).
When a UDP packet is sent the udp_sendmsg function gets called and
the following happens:

1. The oif member of the struct ipcm_cookie ipc (which stores the
output interface of the packet) is initialized by the ipcm_init_sk
function to inet-&gt;sk.sk_bound_dev_if (the device set by the
SO_BINDTODEVICE socket option).

2. If the IP_PKTINFO socket option was set, the oif member gets
overridden by the call to the ip_cmsg_send function.

3. If no output interface was selected yet, the interface specified
by the IP_UNICAST_IF socket option is used.

4. If the socket is connected and no destination address is
specified in the send function, the struct ipcm_cookie ipc is not
taken into consideration and the cached route, that was calculated in
the connect function is being used.

Thus, for a connected socket, the IP_UNICAST_IF sockopt isn't taken
into consideration.

This patch corrects the behavior of the IP_UNICAST_IF socket option
for connect()ed sockets by taking into consideration the
IP_UNICAST_IF sockopt when connecting the socket.

In order to avoid reconnecting the socket, this option is still
ignored when applied on an already connected socket until connect()
is called again by the Richard Gobert.

Change the __ip4_datagram_connect function, which is called during
socket connection, to take into consideration the interface set by
the IP_UNICAST_IF socket option, in a similar way to what is done in
the udp_sendmsg function.

<title>ipv4: Avoid using RTO_ONLINK with ip_route_connect().</title>

<id>67e1e2f4854bb2c0dd2b8440cf090016a0e1a091</id>
<content type='text'>
Now that ip_rt_fix_tos() doesn't reset -&gt;flowi4_scope unconditionally,
we don't have to rely on the RTO_ONLINK bit to properly set the scope
of a flowi4 structure. We can just set -&gt;flowi4_scope explicitly and
avoid using RTO_ONLINK in -&gt;flowi4_tos.

This patch converts callers of ip_route_connect(). Instead of setting
the tos parameter with RT_CONN_FLAGS(sk), as all callers do, we can:

  1- Drop the tos parameter from ip_route_connect(): its value was
     entirely based on sk, which is also passed as parameter.

  2- Set -&gt;flowi4_scope depending on the SOCK_LOCALROUTE socket option
     instead of always initialising it with RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE (let's
     define ip_sock_rt_scope() for this purpose).

  3- Avoid overloading -&gt;flowi4_tos with RTO_ONLINK: since the scope is
     now properly initialised, we don't need to tell ip_rt_fix_tos() to
     adjust -&gt;flowi4_scope for us. So let's define ip_sock_rt_tos(),
     which is the same as RT_CONN_FLAGS() but without the RTO_ONLINK
     bit overload.

Note:
  In the original ip_route_connect() code, __ip_route_output_key()
  might clear the RTO_ONLINK bit of fl4-&gt;flowi4_tos (because of
  ip_rt_fix_tos()). Therefore flowi4_update_output() had to reuse the
  original tos variable. Now that we don't set RTO_ONLINK any more,
  this is not a problem and we can use fl4-&gt;flowi4_tos in
  flowi4_update_output().

<title>inet: stop leaking jiffies on the wire</title>

Historically linux tried to stick to RFC 791, 1122, 2003
for IPv4 ID field generation.

RFC 6864 made clear that no matter how hard we try,
we can not ensure unicity of IP ID within maximum
lifetime for all datagrams with a given source
address/destination address/protocol tuple.

Linux uses a per socket inet generator (inet_id), initialized
at connection startup with a XOR of 'jiffies' and other
fields that appear clear on the wire.

Thiemo Nagel pointed that this strategy is a privacy
concern as this provides 16 bits of entropy to fingerprint
devices.

Let's switch to a random starting point, this is just as
good as far as RFC 6864 is concerned and does not leak
anything critical.

<title>udp: correct reuseport selection with connected sockets</title>

UDP reuseport groups can hold a mix unconnected and connected sockets.
Ensure that connections only receive all traffic to their 4-tuple.

Fast reuseport returns on the first reuseport match on the assumption
that all matches are equal. Only if connections are present, return to
the previous behavior of scoring all sockets.

Record if connections are present and if so (1) treat such connected
sockets as an independent match from the group, (2) only return
2-tuple matches from reuseport and (3) do not return on the first
2-tuple reuseport match to allow for a higher scoring match later.

New field has_conns is set without locks. No other fields in the
bitmap are modified at runtime and the field is only ever set
unconditionally, so an RMW cannot miss a change.

It is useful to be able to use the same socket for listening in a
specific VRF, as for sending multicast packets out of a specific
interface. However, the bound device on the socket currently takes
precedence and results in the packets not being sent.

Relax the condition on overriding the output interface to use for
sending packets out of UDP, raw and ping sockets to allow multicast
packets to be sent using the specified multicast interface.

inet_set_txhash and ip6_set_txhash. sk_set_txhash simply sets a
random number instead of performing flow dissection. sk_set_txash
is also allowed to be called multiple times for the same socket,
we'll need this when redoing the hash for negative routing advice.

This patch creates sk_set_txhash and eliminates protocol specific
inet_set_txhash and ip6_set_txhash. sk_set_txhash simply sets a
random number instead of performing flow dissection. sk_set_txash
is also allowed to be called multiple times for the same socket,
we'll need this when redoing the hash for negative routing advice.

ip6_datagram_connect() is doing a lot of socket changes without
socket being locked.

This looks wrong, at least for udp_lib_rehash() which could corrupt
lists because of concurrent udp_sk(sk)-&gt;udp_portaddr_hash accesses.

<title>net: Save TX flow hash in sock and set in skbuf on xmit</title>

For a connected socket we can precompute the flow hash for setting
in skb-&gt;hash on output. This is a performance advantage over
calculating the skb-&gt;hash for every packet on the connection. The
computation is done using the common hash algorithm to be consistent
with computations done for packets of the connection in other states
where thers is no socket (e.g. time-wait, syn-recv, syn-cookies).

This patch adds sk_txhash to the sock structure. inet_set_txhash and
ip6_set_txhash functions are added which are called from points in
TCP and UDP where socket moves to established state.

skb_set_hash_from_sk is a function which sets skb-&gt;hash from the
sock txhash value. This is called in UDP and TCP transmit path when
transmitting within the context of a socket.

Tested: ran super_netperf with 200 TCP_RR streams over a vxlan
interface (in this case skb_get_hash called on every TX packet to
create a UDP source port).

Before fix:

  95.02% CPU utilization
  154/256/505 90/95/99% latencies
  1.13042e+06 tps

  Time in functions:
    0.28% skb_flow_dissect
    0.21% __skb_get_hash

After fix:

  94.95% CPU utilization
  156/254/485 90/95/99% latencies
  1.15447e+06

  Neither __skb_get_hash nor skb_flow_dissect appear in perf
