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.

The ipcm(6)_cookie field gso_size is set only in the udp path. The ip
layer copies this to cork only if sk_type is SOCK_DGRAM. This check
proved too permissive. Ping and l2tp sockets have the same type.

Limit to sockets of type SOCK_DGRAM and protocol IPPROTO_UDP to
exclude ping sockets.

S390 bpf_jit.S is removed in net-next and had changes in 'net',
since that code isn't used any more take the removal.

TLS data structures split the TX and RX components in 'net-next',
put the new struct members from the bug fix in 'net' into the RX
part.

The 'net-next' tree had some reworking of how the ERSPAN code works in
the GRE tunneling code, overlapping with a one-line headroom
calculation fix in 'net'.

Overlapping changes in __sock_map_ctx_update_elem(), keep the bits
that read the prog members via READ_ONCE() into local variables
before using them.

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.

<title>tcp: Add mark for TIMEWAIT sockets</title>

<content type='text'>
This version has some suggestions by Eric Dumazet:

- Use a local variable for the mark in IPv6 instead of ctl_sk to avoid SMP
races.
- Use the more elegant "IP4_REPLY_MARK(net, skb-&gt;mark) ?: sk-&gt;sk_mark"
statement.
- Factorize code as sk_fullsock() check is not necessary.

Aidan McGurn from Openwave Mobility systems reported the following bug:

"Marked routing is broken on customer deployment. Its effects are large
increase in Uplink retransmissions caused by the client never receiving
the final ACK to their FINACK - this ACK misses the mark and routes out
of the incorrect route."

Currently marks are added to sk_buffs for replies when the "fwmark_reflect"
sysctl is enabled. But not for TW sockets that had sk-&gt;sk_mark set via
setsockopt(SO_MARK..).

Fix this in IPv4/v6 by adding tw-&gt;tw_mark for TIME_WAIT sockets. Copy the the
original sk-&gt;sk_mark in __inet_twsk_hashdance() to the new tw-&gt;tw_mark location.
Then progate this so that the skb gets sent with the correct mark. Do the same
for resets. Give the "fwmark_reflect" sysctl precedence over sk-&gt;sk_mark so that
netfilter rules are still honored.

Support generic segmentation offload for udp datagrams. Callers can
concatenate and send at once the payload of multiple datagrams with
the same destination.

To set segment size, the caller sets socket option UDP_SEGMENT to the
length of each discrete payload. This value must be smaller than or
equal to the relevant MTU.

A follow-up patch adds cmsg UDP_SEGMENT to specify segment size on a
per send call basis.

Total byte length may then exceed MTU. If not an exact multiple of
segment size, the last segment will be shorter.

The implementation adds a gso_size field to the udp socket, ip(v6)
cmsg cookie and inet_cork structure to be able to set the value at
setsockopt or cmsg time and to work with both lockless and corked
paths.

Initial benchmark numbers show UDP GSO about as expensive as TCP GSO.

UDP segmentation offload needs access to inet_cork in the udp layer.
Pass the struct to ip(6)_make_skb instead of allocating it on the

Pass the struct to ip(6)_make_skb instead of allocating it on the
stack in that function itself.

This patch is a noop otherwise.

In case NIC has support for ESP TX CSUM offload skb-&gt;ip_summed is not
set to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL which results in checksum calculated by SW.

Fix enables ESP TX CSUM for UDP by extending condition with check for
NETIF_F_HW_ESP_TX_CSUM.
