When an interface is deleted from a net namespace the ifindex in the
corresponding entries in PF_PACKET sockets' mclists becomes stale.
This can create inconsistencies if later an interface with the same ifindex
is moved from a different namespace (not that unlikely since ifindexes are
per-namespace).
In particular we saw problems with dev-&gt;promiscuity, resulting
in "promiscuity touches roof, set promiscuity failed. promiscuity
feature of device might be broken" warnings and EOVERFLOW failures of
setsockopt(PACKET_ADD_MEMBERSHIP).
This patch deletes the mclist entries for interfaces that are deleted.
Since this now causes setsockopt(PACKET_DROP_MEMBERSHIP) to fail with
EADDRNOTAVAIL if called after the interface is deleted, also make
packet_mc_drop not fail.

<title>af_packet: don't pass empty blocks for PACKET_V3</title>

Before da413eec729d ("packet: Fixed TPACKET V3 to signal poll when block is
closed rather than every packet") poll listening for an af_packet socket was
not signaled if there was no packets to process. After the patch poll is
signaled evety time when block retire timer expires. That happens because
af_packet closes the current block on timeout even if the block is empty.

Passing empty blocks to the user not only wastes CPU but also wastes ring
buffer space increasing probability of packets dropping on small timeouts.

<title>af_packet: allow packets defragmentation not only for hash fanout type</title>

Packets defragmentation was introduced for PACKET_FANOUT_HASH only,
see 7736d33f4262 ("packet: Add pre-defragmentation support for ipv4
fanouts")

It may be useful to have defragmentation enabled regardless of
fanout type. Without that, the AF_PACKET user may have to:
1. Collect fragments from different rings
2. Defragment by itself

<title>netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() void</title>

<id>053c095a82cf773075e83d7233b5cc19a1f73ece</id>
<content type='text'>
Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions
return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even
return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb.

This makes the very common pattern of

  if (genlmsg_end(...) &lt; 0) { ... }

be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do

  return nlmsg_end(...);

and the caller is expected to deal with it.

This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very
common to write

  if (my_function(...))
    /* error condition */

and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong.

Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually
needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then
it'll be very easy to just use skb-&gt;len there.

Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead
code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did

-	return nlmsg_end(...);
+	nlmsg_end(...);
+	return 0;

I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning
skb-&gt;len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected
functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared
the return value with &lt;= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just
be changed to &lt; 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more
efficient version.

One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present
in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't
check for &lt;0 or &lt;=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time.
I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to
userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for
every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed
for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they
are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.

  (__builtin_expect(!!(offset), 0) &lt; 0),

Make TPACKET_V3 signal poll when block is closed rather than for every
packet. Side effect is that poll will be signaled when block retire
timer expires which didn't previously happen. Issue was visible when
sending packets at a very low frequency such that all blocks are retired
before packets are received by TPACKET_V3. This caused avoidable packet
loss. The fix ensures that the signal is sent when blocks are closed
which covers the normal path where the block is filled as well as the
path where the timer expires. The case where a block is filled without
moving to the next block (ie. all blocks are full) will still cause poll
to be signaled.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) New offloading infrastructure and example 'rocker' driver for
    offloading of switching and routing to hardware.

    This work was done by a large group of dedicated individuals, not
    limited to: Scott Feldman, Jiri Pirko, Thomas Graf, John Fastabend,
    Jamal Hadi Salim, Andy Gospodarek, Florian Fainelli, Roopa Prabhu

 2) Start making the networking operate on IOV iterators instead of
    modifying iov objects in-situ during transfers.  Thanks to Al Viro
    and Herbert Xu.

 3) A set of new netlink interfaces for the TIPC stack, from Richard
    Alpe.

 4) Remove unnecessary looping during ipv6 routing lookups, from Martin
    KaFai Lau.

 5) Add PAUSE frame generation support to gianfar driver, from Matei
    Pavaluca.

 6) Allow for larger reordering levels in TCP, which are easily
    achievable in the real world right now, from Eric Dumazet.

 7) Add a variable of napi_schedule that doesn't need to disable cpu
    interrupts, from Eric Dumazet.

 8) Use a doubly linked list to optimize neigh_parms_release(), from
    Nicolas Dichtel.

 9) Various enhancements to the kernel BPF verifier, and allow eBPF
    programs to actually be attached to sockets.  From Alexei
    Starovoitov.

10) Support TSO/LSO in sunvnet driver, from David L Stevens.

11) Allow controlling ECN usage via routing metrics, from Florian
    Westphal.

12) Remote checksum offload, from Tom Herbert.

13) Add split-header receive, BQL, and xmit_more support to amd-xgbe
    driver, from Thomas Lendacky.

14) Add MPLS support to openvswitch, from Simon Horman.

15) Support wildcard tunnel endpoints in ipv6 tunnels, from Steffen
    Klassert.

16) Do gro flushes on a per-device basis using a timer, from Eric
    Dumazet.  This tries to resolve the conflicting goals between the
    desired handling of bulk vs.  RPC-like traffic.

17) Allow userspace to ask for the CPU upon what a packet was
    received/steered, via SO_INCOMING_CPU.  From Eric Dumazet.

18) Limit GSO packets to half the current congestion window, from Eric
    Dumazet.

19) Add a generic helper so that all drivers set their RSS keys in a
    consistent way, from Eric Dumazet.

20) Add xmit_more support to enic driver, from Govindarajulu
    Varadarajan.

21) Add VLAN packet scheduler action, from Jiri Pirko.

22) Support configurable RSS hash functions via ethtool, from Eyal
    Perry.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) New offloading infrastructure and example 'rocker' driver for
    offloading of switching and routing to hardware.

    This work was done by a large group of dedicated individuals, not
    limited to: Scott Feldman, Jiri Pirko, Thomas Graf, John Fastabend,
    Jamal Hadi Salim, Andy Gospodarek, Florian Fainelli, Roopa Prabhu

 2) Start making the networking operate on IOV iterators instead of
    modifying iov objects in-situ during transfers.  Thanks to Al Viro
    and Herbert Xu.

 3) A set of new netlink interfaces for the TIPC stack, from Richard
    Alpe.

 4) Remove unnecessary looping during ipv6 routing lookups, from Martin
    KaFai Lau.

 5) Add PAUSE frame generation support to gianfar driver, from Matei
    Pavaluca.

 6) Allow for larger reordering levels in TCP, which are easily
    achievable in the real world right now, from Eric Dumazet.

 7) Add a variable of napi_schedule that doesn't need to disable cpu
    interrupts, from Eric Dumazet.

 8) Use a doubly linked list to optimize neigh_parms_release(), from
    Nicolas Dichtel.

 9) Various enhancements to the kernel BPF verifier, and allow eBPF
    programs to actually be attached to sockets.  From Alexei
    Starovoitov.

10) Support TSO/LSO in sunvnet driver, from David L Stevens.

11) Allow controlling ECN usage via routing metrics, from Florian
    Westphal.

12) Remote checksum offload, from Tom Herbert.

13) Add split-header receive, BQL, and xmit_more support to amd-xgbe
    driver, from Thomas Lendacky.

14) Add MPLS support to openvswitch, from Simon Horman.

15) Support wildcard tunnel endpoints in ipv6 tunnels, from Steffen
    Klassert.

16) Do gro flushes on a per-device basis using a timer, from Eric
    Dumazet.  This tries to resolve the conflicting goals between the
    desired handling of bulk vs.  RPC-like traffic.

17) Allow userspace to ask for the CPU upon what a packet was
    received/steered, via SO_INCOMING_CPU.  From Eric Dumazet.

18) Limit GSO packets to half the current congestion window, from Eric
    Dumazet.

19) Add a generic helper so that all drivers set their RSS keys in a
    consistent way, from Eric Dumazet.

20) Add xmit_more support to enic driver, from Govindarajulu
    Varadarajan.

21) Add VLAN packet scheduler action, from Jiri Pirko.

22) Support configurable RSS hash functions via ethtool, from Eyal
    Perry.
