[ Upstream commit af7d6cce53694a88d6a1bb60c9a239a6a5144459 ]

Since commit 5aad1de5ea2c ("ipv4: use separate genid for next hop
exceptions"), exceptions get deprecated separately from cached
routes. In particular, administrative changes don't clear PMTU anymore.

As Stefano described in commit e9fa1495d738 ("ipv6: Reflect MTU changes
on PMTU of exceptions for MTU-less routes"), the PMTU discovered before
the local MTU change can become stale:
 - if the local MTU is now lower than the PMTU, that PMTU is now
   incorrect
 - if the local MTU was the lowest value in the path, and is increased,
   we might discover a higher PMTU

Similarly to what commit e9fa1495d738 did for IPv6, update PMTU in those
cases.

If the exception was locked, the discovered PMTU was smaller than the
minimal accepted PMTU. In that case, if the new local MTU is smaller
than the current PMTU, let PMTU discovery figure out if locking of the
exception is still needed.

To do this, we need to know the old link MTU in the NETDEV_CHANGEMTU
notifier. By the time the notifier is called, dev-&gt;mtu has been
changed. This patch adds the old MTU as additional information in the
notifier structure, and a new call_netdevice_notifiers_u32() function.

[ Upstream commit 58152ecbbcc6a0ce7fddd5bf5f6ee535834ece0c ]

In case skb in out_or_order_queue is the result of
multiple skbs coalescing, we would like to get a proper gso_segs
counter tracking, so that future tcp_drop() can report an accurate
number.

I chose to not implement this tracking for skbs in receive queue,
since they are not dropped, unless socket is disconnected.

[ Upstream commit 72cd43ba64fc172a443410ce01645895850844c8 ]

Juha-Matti Tilli reported that malicious peers could inject tiny
packets in out_of_order_queue, forcing very expensive calls
to tcp_collapse_ofo_queue() and tcp_prune_ofo_queue() for
every incoming packet. out_of_order_queue rb-tree can contain
thousands of nodes, iterating over all of them is not nice.

Before linux-4.9, we would have pruned all packets in ofo_queue
in one go, every XXXX packets. XXXX depends on sk_rcvbuf and skbs
truesize, but is about 7000 packets with tcp_rmem[2] default of 6 MB.

Since we plan to increase tcp_rmem[2] in the future to cope with
modern BDP, can not revert to the old behavior, without great pain.

Strategy taken in this patch is to purge ~12.5 % of the queue capacity.

[ Upstream commit 76f0dcbb5ae1a7c3dbeec13dd98233b8e6b0b32a ]

When skb replaces another one in ooo queue, I forgot to also
update tp-&gt;ooo_last_skb as well, if the replaced skb was the last one
in the queue.

To fix this, we simply can re-use the code that runs after an insertion,
trying to merge skbs at the right of current skb.

This not only fixes the bug, but also remove all small skbs that might
be a subset of the new one.

Example:

We receive segments 2001:3001,  4001:5001

Then we receive 2001:8001 : We should replace 2001:3001 with the big
skb, but also remove 4001:50001 from the queue to save space.

[ Upstream commit 9f5afeae51526b3ad7b7cb21ee8b145ce6ea7a7a ]

Over the years, TCP BDP has increased by several orders of magnitude,
and some people are considering to reach the 2 Gbytes limit.

Even with current window scale limit of 14, ~1 Gbytes maps to ~740,000
MSS.

In presence of packet losses (or reorders), TCP stores incoming packets
into an out of order queue, and number of skbs sitting there waiting for
the missing packets to be received can be in the 10^5 range.

Most packets are appended to the tail of this queue, and when
packets can finally be transferred to receive queue, we scan the queue
from its head.

However, in presence of heavy losses, we might have to find an arbitrary
point in this queue, involving a linear scan for every incoming packet,
throwing away cpu caches.

This patch converts it to a RB tree, to get bounded latencies.

Yaogong wrote a preliminary patch about 2 years ago.
Eric did the rebase, added ofo_last_skb cache, polishing and tests.

Tested with network dropping between 1 and 10 % packets, with good
success (about 30 % increase of throughput in stress tests)

Next step would be to also use an RB tree for the write queue at sender
side ;)

[ Upstream commit 9f5afeae51526b3ad7b7cb21ee8b145ce6ea7a7a ]

Over the years, TCP BDP has increased by several orders of magnitude,
and some people are considering to reach the 2 Gbytes limit.

Even with current window scale limit of 14, ~1 Gbytes maps to ~740,000
MSS.

In presence of packet losses (or reorders), TCP stores incoming packets
into an out of order queue, and number of skbs sitting there waiting for
the missing packets to be received can be in the 10^5 range.

Most packets are appended to the tail of this queue, and when
packets can finally be transferred to receive queue, we scan the queue

[ Upstream commit 532182cd610782db8c18230c2747626562032205 ]

Now ss can report sk_drops, we can instruct TCP to increment
this per socket counter when it drops an incoming frame, to refine
monitoring and debugging.

Following patch takes care of listeners drops.

<title>gso_segment: Reset skb-&gt;mac_len after modifying network header</title>

[ Upstream commit c56cae23c6b167acc68043c683c4573b80cbcc2c ]

When splitting a GSO segment that consists of encapsulated packets, the
skb-&gt;mac_len of the segments can end up being set wrong, causing packet
drops in particular when using act_mirred and ifb interfaces in
combination with a qdisc that splits GSO packets.

This happens because at the time skb_segment() is called, network_header
will point to the inner header, throwing off the calculation in
skb_reset_mac_len(). The network_header is subsequently adjust by the
outer IP gso_segment handlers, but they don't set the mac_len.

Fix this by adding skb_reset_mac_len() calls to both the IPv4 and IPv6
gso_segment handlers, after they modify the network_header.

Many thanks to Eric Dumazet for his help in identifying the cause of
the bug.
