[ Upstream commit 3dd1c9a1270736029ffca670e9bd0265f4120600 ]

The skb hash for locally generated ip[v6] fragments belonging
to the same datagram can vary in several circumstances:
* for connected UDP[v6] sockets, the first fragment get its hash
  via set_owner_w()/skb_set_hash_from_sk()
* for unconnected IPv6 UDPv6 sockets, the first fragment can get
  its hash via ip6_make_flowlabel()/skb_get_hash_flowi6(), if
  auto_flowlabel is enabled

For the following frags the hash is usually computed via
skb_get_hash().
The above can cause OoO for unconnected IPv6 UDPv6 socket: in that
scenario the egress tx queue can be selected on a per packet basis
via the skb hash.
It may also fool flow-oriented schedulers to place fragments belonging
to the same datagram in different flows.

Fix the issue by copying the skb hash from the head frag into
the others at fragmentation time.

perf probe -a "dev_queue_xmit skb skb-&gt;hash skb-&gt;l4_hash:b1@0/8 skb-&gt;sw_hash:b1@1/8"

<title>net: test tailroom before appending to linear skb</title>

Device features may change during transmission. In particular with
corking, a device may toggle scatter-gather in between allocating
and writing to an skb.

Do not unconditionally assume that !NETIF_F_SG at write time implies
that the same held at alloc time and thus the skb has sufficient
tailroom.

This issue predates git history.

It would allocate memory in this function when the cork-&gt;opt is NULL. But
the memory isn't freed if failed in the latter rt check, and return error
directly. It causes the memleak if its caller is ip_make_skb which also
doesn't free the cork-&gt;opt when meet a error.

Now move the rt check ahead to avoid the memleak.

<title>net: avoid unneeded atomic operation in ip*_append_data()</title>

After commit 694aba690de0 ("ipv4: factorize sk_wmem_alloc updates
done by __ip_append_data()") and commit 1f4c6eb24029 ("ipv6:
factorize sk_wmem_alloc updates done by __ip6_append_data()"),
when transmitting sub MTU datagram, an addtional, unneeded atomic
operation is performed in ip*_append_data() to update wmem_alloc:
in the above condition the delta is 0.

The above cause small but measurable performance regression in UDP
xmit tput test with packet size below MTU.

This change avoids such overhead updating wmem_alloc only if
wmem_alloc_delta is non zero.

The error path is left intentionally unmodified: it's a slow path
and simplicity is preferred to performances.

While testing my inet defrag changes, I found that the senders
could spend ~20% of cpu cycles in skb_set_owner_w() updating
sk-&gt;sk_wmem_alloc for every fragment they cook.

The solution to this problem is to use alloc_skb() instead
of sock_wmalloc() and manually perform a single sk_wmem_alloc change.

Similar change for IPv6 is provided in following patch.

If you take a GSO skb, and split it into packets, will the network
length (L3 headers + L4 headers + payload) of those packets be small
enough to fit within a given MTU?

skb_gso_validate_mtu gives you the answer to that question. However,
we recently added to add a way to validate the MAC length of a split GSO
skb (L2+L3+L4+payload), and the names get confusing, so rename
skb_gso_validate_mtu to skb_gso_validate_network_len

Remove two references to ufo in the udp send path that are no longer
reachable now that ufo has been removed.

Commit 85f1bd9a7b5a ("udp: consistently apply ufo or fragmentation")
is a fix to ufo. It is safe to revert what remains of it.

Also, no skb can enter ip_append_page with skb_is_gso true now that
skb_shinfo(skb)-&gt;gso_type is no longer set in ip_append_page/_data.

__ip_options_echo() uses the current network namespace, and
currently retrives it via skb-&gt;dst-&gt;dev.

This commit adds an explicit 'net' argument to __ip_options_echo()
and update all the call sites to provide it, usually via a simpler
sock_net().

After this change, __ip_options_echo() no more needs to access
skb-&gt;dst and we can drop a couple of hack to preserve such
info in the rx path.
