[ Upstream commit 0e615e9601a15efeeb8942cf7cd4dadba0c8c5a7 ]

When destroying an mrt table the static mfc entries and the static
devices are kept, which leads to devices that can never be destroyed
(because of refcnt taken) and leaked memory, for example:
unreferenced object 0xffff880034c144c0 (size 192):
  comm "mfc-broken", pid 4777, jiffies 4320349055 (age 46001.964s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
    98 53 f0 34 00 88 ff ff 98 53 f0 34 00 88 ff ff  .S.4.....S.4....
    ef 0a 0a 14 01 02 03 04 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00  ................

<title>inetpeer: get rid of ip_id_count</title>

Ideally, we would need to generate IP ID using a per destination IP
generator.

linux kernels used inet_peer cache for this purpose, but this had a huge
cost on servers disabling MTU discovery.

1) each inet_peer struct consumes 192 bytes

2) inetpeer cache uses a binary tree of inet_peer structs,
   with a nominal size of ~66000 elements under load.

3) lookups in this tree are hitting a lot of cache lines, as tree depth
   is about 20.

4) If server deals with many tcp flows, we have a high probability of
   not finding the inet_peer, allocating a fresh one, inserting it in
   the tree with same initial ip_id_count, (cf secure_ip_id())

5) We garbage collect inet_peer aggressively.

IP ID generation do not have to be 'perfect'

Goal is trying to avoid duplicates in a short period of time,
so that reassembly units have a chance to complete reassembly of
fragments belonging to one message before receiving other fragments
with a recycled ID.

We simply use an array of generators, and a Jenkin hash using the dst IP
as a key.

ipv6_select_ident() is put back into net/ipv6/ip6_output.c where it
belongs (it is only used from this file)

secure_ip_id() and secure_ipv6_id() no longer are needed.

Rename ip_select_ident_more() to ip_select_ident_segs() to avoid
unnecessary decrement/increment of the number of segments.

This patch replaces a comma between expression statements by a semicolon.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that performs this
transformation is as follows:

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@r@
expression e1,e2,e;
type T;
identifier i;
@@

 e1
-,

 e2;
// &lt;/smpl&gt;

<title>ipv4, fib: pass LOOPBACK_IFINDEX instead of 0 to flowi4_iif</title>

<id>6a662719c9868b3d6c7d26b3a085f0cd3cc15e64</id>
<content type='text'>
As suggested by Julian:

	Simply, flowi4_iif must not contain 0, it does not
	look logical to ignore all ip rules with specified iif.

because in fib_rule_match() we do:

        if (rule-&gt;iifindex &amp;&amp; (rule-&gt;iifindex != fl-&gt;flowi_iif))
                goto out;

flowi4_iif should be LOOPBACK_IFINDEX by default.

We need to move LOOPBACK_IFINDEX to include/net/flow.h:

1) It is mostly used by flowi_iif

2) Fix the following compile error if we use it in flow.h
by the patches latter:

In file included from include/linux/netfilter.h:277:0,
                 from include/net/netns/netfilter.h:5,
                 from include/net/net_namespace.h:21,
                 from include/linux/netdevice.h:43,
                 from include/linux/icmpv6.h:12,

As suggested by Julian:

	Simply, flowi4_iif must not contain 0, it does not
	look logical to ignore all ip rules with specified iif.

because in fib_rule_match() we do:

        if (rule-&gt;iifindex &amp;&amp; (rule-&gt;iifindex != fl-&gt;flowi_iif))
                goto out;

flowi4_iif should be LOOPBACK_IFINDEX by default.

We need to move LOOPBACK_IFINDEX to include/net/flow.h:

1) It is mostly used by flowi_iif

2) Fix the following compile error if we use it in flow.h
by the patches latter:

Commit 8cd3ac9f9b7b ("ipmr: advertise new mfc entries via rtnl") reuses the
function ipmr_fill_mroute() to notify mfc events.
But this function was used only for dump and thus was always setting the
flag NLM_F_MULTI, which is wrong in case of a single notification.

Libraries like libnl will wait forever for NLMSG_DONE.

<title>net: avoid reference counter overflows on fib_rules in multicast forwarding</title>

Bob Falken reported that after 4G packets, multicast forwarding stopped
working. This was because of a rule reference counter overflow which
freed the rule as soon as the overflow happend.

This patch solves this by adding the FIB_LOOKUP_NOREF flag to
fib_rules_lookup calls. This is safe even from non-rcu locked sections
as in this case the flag only implies not taking a reference to the rule,
which we don't need at all.

Rules only hold references to the namespace, which are guaranteed to be
available during the call of the non-rcu protected function reg_vif_xmit
because of the interface reference which itself holds a reference to
the net namespace.

Fixes: f0ad0860d01e47 ("ipv4: ipmr: support multiple tables")
Fixes: d1db275dd3f6e4 ("ipv6: ip6mr: support multiple tables")

<title>neigh: restore old behaviour of default parms values</title>

Previously inet devices were only constructed when addresses are added.
Therefore the default neigh parms values they get are the ones at the
time of these operations.

Now that we're creating inet devices earlier, this changes the behaviour
of default neigh parms values in an incompatible way (see bug #8519).

This patch creates a compromise by setting the default values at the
same point as before but only for those that have not been explicitly
set by the user since the inet device's creation.
