Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) Add Maglev hashing scheduler to IPVS, from Inju Song.

 2) Lots of new TC subsystem tests from Roman Mashak.

 3) Add TCP zero copy receive and fix delayed acks and autotuning with
    SO_RCVLOWAT, from Eric Dumazet.

 4) Add XDP_REDIRECT support to mlx5 driver, from Jesper Dangaard
    Brouer.

 5) Add ttl inherit support to vxlan, from Hangbin Liu.

 6) Properly separate ipv6 routes into their logically independant
    components. fib6_info for the routing table, and fib6_nh for sets of
    nexthops, which thus can be shared. From David Ahern.

 7) Add bpf_xdp_adjust_tail helper, which can be used to generate ICMP
    messages from XDP programs. From Nikita V. Shirokov.

 8) Lots of long overdue cleanups to the r8169 driver, from Heiner
    Kallweit.

 9) Add BTF ("BPF Type Format"), from Martin KaFai Lau.

17) Add x86_32 eBPF JIT compiler, from Wang YanQing.

18) Add AF_XDP sockets, with zerocopy support infrastructure as well.
    From Björn Töpel.

19) Remove indirect load support from all of the BPF JITs and handle
    these operations in the verifier by translating them into native BPF
    instead. From Daniel Borkmann.

20) Add GRO support to ipv6 gre tunnels, from Eran Ben Elisha.

21) Allow XDP programs to do lookups in the main kernel routing tables
    for forwarding. From David Ahern.

22) Allow drivers to store hardware state into an ELF section of kernel
    dump vmcore files, and use it in cxgb4. From Rahul Lakkireddy.

Variant of proc_create_data that directly take a seq_file show

Export data delivered and delivered with CE marks to
1) SNMP TCPDelivered and TCPDeliveredCE
2) getsockopt(TCP_INFO)
3) Timestamping API SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS

Note that for SCM_TSTAMP_ACK, the delivery info in
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS is reported before the info
was fully updated on the ACK.

These stats help application monitor TCP delivery and ECN status
on per host, per connection, even per message level.

Some users are willing to provision huge amounts of memory to be able
to perform reassembly reasonnably well under pressure.

Current memory tracking is using one atomic_t and integers.

Switch to atomic_long_t so that 64bit arches can use more than 2GB,
without any cost for 32bit arches.

Note that this patch avoids an overflow error, if high_thresh was set
to ~2GB, since this test in inet_frag_alloc() was never true :

if (... || frag_mem_limit(nf) &gt; nf-&gt;high_thresh)

Tested:

$ echo 16000000000 &gt;/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ipfrag_high_thresh

&lt;frag DDOS&gt;

$ grep FRAG /proc/net/sockstat
FRAG: inuse 14705885 memory 16000002880

$ nstat -n ; sleep 1 ; nstat | grep Reas
IpReasmReqds                    3317150            0.0

Remove sum_frag_mem_limit(), ip_frag_mem() &amp; ip6_frag_mem()

Also since we use rhashtable we can bring back the number of fragments
in "grep FRAG /proc/net/sockstat /proc/net/sockstat6" that was
removed in commit 434d305405ab ("inet: frag: don't account number

Ran simple script to find/remove trailing whitespace and blank lines
at EOF because that kind of stuff git whines about and editors leave
behind.

Ran simple script to find/remove trailing whitespace and blank lines
at EOF because that kind of stuff git whines about and editors leave
behind.

arp_net_ops just addr/removes /proc entry.

devinet_ops allocates and frees duplicate of init_net tables
and (un)registers sysctl entries.

fib_net_ops allocates and frees pernet tables, creates/destroys
netlink socket and (un)initializes /proc entries. Foreign
pernet_operations do not touch them.

ip_rt_proc_ops only modifies pernet /proc entries.

xfrm_net_ops creates/destroys /proc entries, allocates/frees
pernet statistics, hashes and tables, and (un)initializes
sysctl files. These are not touched by foreigh pernet_operations

xfrm4_net_ops allocates/frees private pernet memory, and
configures sysctls.

sysctl_route_ops creates/destroys sysctls.

rt_genid_ops only initializes fields of just allocated net.

ipv4_inetpeer_ops allocated/frees net private memory.

igmp_net_ops just creates/destroys /proc files and socket,
noone else interested in.

tcp_sk_ops seems to be safe, because tcp_sk_init() does not
depend on any other pernet_operations modifications. Iteration
over hash table in inet_twsk_purge() is made under RCU lock,
and it's safe to iterate the table this way. Removing from
the table happen from inet_twsk_deschedule_put(), but this
function is safe without any extern locks, as it's synchronized
inside itself. There are many examples, it's used in different
context. So, it's safe to leave tcp_sk_exit_batch() unlocked.

tcp_net_metrics_ops is synchronized on tcp_metrics_lock and safe.

udplite4_net_ops only creates/destroys pernet /proc file.

icmp_sk_ops creates percpu sockets, not touched by foreign
pernet_operations.

ipmr_net_ops creates/destroys pernet fib tables, (un)registers
fib rules and /proc files. This seem to be safe to execute
in parallel with foreign pernet_operations.

af_inet_ops just sets up default parameters of newly created net.

ipv4_mib_ops creates and destroys pernet percpu statistics.

raw_net_ops, tcp4_net_ops, udp4_net_ops, ping_v4_net_ops
and ip_proc_ops only create/destroy pernet /proc files.

ip4_frags_ops creates and destroys sysctl file.

So, it's safe to make the pernet_operations async.
