[ Upstream commit c23f35d19db3b36ffb9e04b08f1d91565d15f84f ]

This is a refactoring patch: without changing runtime behavior,
it moves rbtree-related code from IPv4-specific files/functions
into .h/.c defrag files shared with IPv6 defragmentation code.

v2: make handling of overlapping packets match upstream.

Recompile IP options since IPCB may not be valid anymore when
ipv4_link_failure is called from arp_error_report.

<title>tcp: tcp_grow_window() needs to respect tcp_space()</title>

[ Upstream commit 50ce163a72d817a99e8974222dcf2886d5deb1ae ]

For some reason, tcp_grow_window() correctly tests if enough room
is present before attempting to increase tp-&gt;rcv_ssthresh,
but does not prevent it to grow past tcp_space()

This is causing hard to debug issues, like failing
the (__tcp_select_window(sk) &gt;= tp-&gt;rcv_wnd) test
in __tcp_ack_snd_check(), causing ACK delays and possibly
slow flows.

Depending on tcp_rmem[2], MTU, skb-&gt;len/skb-&gt;truesize ratio,
we can see the problem happening on "netperf -t TCP_RR -- -r 2000,2000"
after about 60 round trips, when the active side no longer sends
immediate acks.

This bug predates git history.

[ Upstream commit 8c83f2df9c6578ea4c5b940d8238ad8a41b87e9e ]

Configuration check to accept source route IP options should be made on
the incoming netdevice when the skb-&gt;dev is an l3mdev master. The route
lookup for the source route next hop also needs the incoming netdev.

v2-&gt;v3:
- Simplify by passing the original netdevice down the stack (per David

[ Upstream commit b506bc975f60f06e13e74adb35e708a23dc4e87c ]

 When tcp_sk_init() failed in inet_ctl_sock_create(),
 'net-&gt;ipv4.tcp_congestion_control' will be left
 uninitialized, but tcp_sk_exit() hasn't check for
 that.

 This patch add checking on 'net-&gt;ipv4.tcp_congestion_control'
 in tcp_sk_exit() to prevent NULL-ptr dereference.

[ Upstream commit b506bc975f60f06e13e74adb35e708a23dc4e87c ]

 When tcp_sk_init() failed in inet_ctl_sock_create(),
 'net-&gt;ipv4.tcp_congestion_control' will be left
 uninitialized, but tcp_sk_exit() hasn't check for
 that.

 This patch add checking on 'net-&gt;ipv4.tcp_congestion_control'
 in tcp_sk_exit() to prevent NULL-ptr dereference.

[ Upstream commit aecfde23108b8e637d9f5c5e523b24fb97035dc3 ]

RFC8257 §3.5 explicitly states that "A DCTCP sender MUST react to
loss episodes in the same way as conventional TCP".

Currently, Linux DCTCP performs no cwnd reduction when losses
are encountered. Optionally, the dctcp_clamp_alpha_on_loss resets
alpha to its maximal value if a RTO happens. This behavior
is sub-optimal for at least two reasons: i) it ignores losses
triggering fast retransmissions; and ii) it causes unnecessary large
cwnd reduction in the future if the loss was isolated as it resets
the historical term of DCTCP's alpha EWMA to its maximal value (i.e.,
denoting a total congestion). The second reason has an especially
noticeable effect when using DCTCP in high BDP environments, where
alpha normally stays at low values.

This patch replace the clamping of alpha by setting ssthresh to
half of cwnd for both fast retransmissions and RTOs, at most once
per RTT. Consequently, the dctcp_clamp_alpha_on_loss module parameter
has been removed.

The table below shows experimental results where we measured the
drop probability of a PIE AQM (not applying ECN marks) at a
bottleneck in the presence of a single TCP flow with either the
alpha-clamping option enabled or the cwnd halving proposed by this
patch. Results using reno or cubic are given for comparison.

                          |  Link   |   RTT    |    Drop
                 TCP CC   |  speed  | base+AQM | probability
        ==================|=========|==========|============
                    CUBIC |  40Mbps |  7+20ms  |    0.21%
                     RENO |         |          |    0.19%
        DCTCP-CLAMP-ALPHA |         |          |   25.80%
         DCTCP-HALVE-CWND |         |          |    0.22%
        ------------------|---------|----------|------------
                    CUBIC | 100Mbps |  7+20ms  |    0.03%
                     RENO |         |          |    0.02%
        DCTCP-CLAMP-ALPHA |         |          |   23.30%
         DCTCP-HALVE-CWND |         |          |    0.04%
        ------------------|---------|----------|------------
                    CUBIC | 800Mbps |   1+1ms  |    0.04%
                     RENO |         |          |    0.05%
        DCTCP-CLAMP-ALPHA |         |          |   18.70%
         DCTCP-HALVE-CWND |         |          |    0.06%

We see that, without halving its cwnd for all source of losses,
DCTCP drives the AQM to large drop probabilities in order to keep
the queue length under control (i.e., it repeatedly faces RTOs).
Instead, if DCTCP reacts to all source of losses, it can then be
controlled by the AQM using similar drop levels than cubic or reno.

commit 206b8cc514d7ff2b79dd2d5ad939adc7c493f07a upstream.

When CONFIG_PROC_FS isn't set the variable cn isn't used.

net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_CLUSTERIP.c: In function ‘clusterip_net_exit’:
net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_CLUSTERIP.c:849:24: warning: unused variable ‘cn’ [-Wunused-variable]
  struct clusterip_net *cn = clusterip_pernet(net);
                        ^~

Rework so the variable 'cn' is declared inside "#ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS".
