Now we cannot distinguish that one sk is a udp or sctp style when
we use ss to dump sctp_info. it's necessary to dump it as well.

For sctp_diag, ss support is not officially available, thus there
are no official users of this yet, so we can add this field in the
middle of sctp_info without breaking user API.

v1-&gt;v2:
  - move 'sctpi_s_type' field to the end of struct sctp_info, so
    that it won't cause incompatibility with applications already
    built.
  - add __reserved3 in sctp_info to make sure sctp_info is 8-byte
    alignment.

<title>sctp: fix some rhashtable functions using in sctp proc/diag</title>

When rhashtable_walk_init return err, no release function should be
called, and when rhashtable_walk_start return err, we should only invoke
rhashtable_walk_exit to release the source.

But now when sctp_transport_walk_start return err, we just call
rhashtable_walk_stop/exit, and never care about if rhashtable_walk_init
or start return err, which is so bad.

We will fix it by calling rhashtable_walk_exit if rhashtable_walk_start
return err in sctp_transport_walk_start, and if sctp_transport_walk_start
return err, we do not need to call sctp_transport_walk_stop any more.

For sctp proc, we will use 'iter-&gt;start_fail' to decide if we will call
rhashtable_walk_stop/exit.

For some main variables in sctp.ko, we couldn't export it to other modules,
so we have to define some api to access them.

It will include sctp transport and endpoint's traversal.

There are some transport traversal functions for sctp_diag, we can also
use it for sctp_proc. cause they have the similar situation to traversal
transport.

sctp_diag will dump some important details of sctp's assoc or ep, we use
sctp_info to describe them,  sctp_get_sctp_info to get them, and export
it to sctp_diag.ko.

v2-&gt;v3:
- we will not use list_for_each_safe in sctp_get_sctp_info, cause
  all the callers of it will use lock_sock.

- fix the holes in struct sctp_info with __reserved* field.
  because sctp_diag is a new feature, and sctp_info is just for now,
  it may be changed in the future.

<title>sctp: simplify sk_receive_queue locking</title>

<id>311b21774f1389f9c34eac4da90c43c95fc2b62b</id>
<content type='text'>
SCTP already serializes access to rcvbuf through its sock lock:
sctp_recvmsg takes it right in the start and release at the end, while
rx path will also take the lock before doing any socket processing. On
sctp_rcv() it will check if there is an user using the socket and, if
there is, it will queue incoming packets to the backlog. The backlog
processing will do the same. Even timers will do such check and
re-schedule if an user is using the socket.

Simplifying this will allow us to remove sctp_skb_list_tail and get ride
of some expensive lockings.  The lists that it is used on are also
mangled with functions like __skb_queue_tail and __skb_unlink in the
same context, like on sctp_ulpq_tail_event() and sctp_clear_pd().
sctp_close() will also purge those while using only the sock lock.

Therefore the lockings performed by sctp_skb_list_tail() are not
necessary. This patch removes this function and replaces its calls with
just skb_queue_splice_tail_init() instead.

The biggest gain is at sctp_ulpq_tail_event(), because the events always
contain a list, even if it's queueing a single skb and this was
triggering expensive calls to spin_lock_irqsave/_irqrestore for every
data chunk received.

As SCTP will deliver each data chunk on a corresponding recvmsg, the
more effective the change will be.
Before this patch, with chunks with 30 bytes:

<title>sctp: add support for RPS and RFS</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch adds what's missing to properly support RPS and RFS on SCTP,
as some of it is already implemented in common calls.

Having support for RPS and RFS allows better scaling specially because
not all NICs support hashing SCTP headers.

Save the hash right when we dequeue a skb from inqueue so we do it only
once per skb instead of per chunk. New sockets will then inherit the
hash through sctp_copy_sock().

<title>net/sctp: use in_compat_syscall for sctp_getsockopt_connectx3</title>

<content type='text'>
SCTP unfortunately has a different ABI for SCTP_SOCKOPT_CONNECTX3 for
32-bit and 64-bit callers.  Use in_compat_syscall to correctly
distinguish them on all architectures.

SCTP unfortunately has a different ABI for SCTP_SOCKOPT_CONNECTX3 for
32-bit and 64-bit callers.  Use in_compat_syscall to correctly
distinguish them on all architectures.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "Highlights:

   1) Support more Realtek wireless chips, from Jes Sorenson.

   2) New BPF types for per-cpu hash and arrap maps, from Alexei
      Starovoitov.

   3) Make several TCP sysctls per-namespace, from Nikolay Borisov.

   4) Allow the use of SO_REUSEPORT in order to do per-thread processing
   of incoming TCP/UDP connections.  The muxing can be done using a
   BPF program which hashes the incoming packet.  From Craig Gallek.

   5) Add a multiplexer for TCP streams, to provide a messaged based
      interface.  BPF programs can be used to determine the message
      boundaries.  From Tom Herbert.

   6) Add 802.1AE MACSEC support, from Sabrina Dubroca.

   7) Avoid factorial complexity when taking down an inetdev interface
      with lots of configured addresses.  We were doing things like
      traversing the entire address less for each address removed, and
      flushing the entire netfilter conntrack table for every address as
      well.

   8) Add and use SKB bulk free infrastructure, from Jesper Brouer.

   9) Allow offloading u32 classifiers to hardware, and implement for
      ixgbe, from John Fastabend.

  10) Allow configuring IRQ coalescing parameters on a per-queue basis,
      from Kan Liang.

  11) Extend ethtool so that larger link mode masks can be supported.
      From David Decotigny.

  12) Introduce devlink, which can be used to configure port link types
      (ethernet vs Infiniband, etc.), port splitting, and switch device
      level attributes as a whole.  From Jiri Pirko.

  13) Hardware offload support for flower classifiers, from Amir Vadai.

  14) Add "Local Checksum Offload".  Basically, for a tunneled packet
      the checksum of the outer header is 'constant' (because with the
      checksum field filled into the inner protocol header, the payload
      of the outer frame checksums to 'zero'), and we can take advantage
      of that in various ways.  From Edward Cree"
