vrf_process_v4_outbound() and vrf_process_v6_outbound() do routing
using ip/ipv6 addresses, but don't make sure the header is available
in skb-&gt;data[] (skb_headlen() is less then header size).

Case:

1) igb driver from intel.
2) Packet size is greater then 255.
3) MPLS forwards to VRF device.

So, patch adds pskb_may_pull() calls in vrf_process_v4/v6_outbound()
functions.

The new route handling in ip_mc_finish_output() from 'net' overlapped
with the new support for returning congestion notifications from BPF
programs.

In order to handle this I had to take the dev_loopback_xmit() calls
out of the switch statement.

The aquantia driver conflicts were simple overlapping changes.

There is no functional change in this patch, it only prepares the next one.

rt6_nexthop() will be used by ip6_dst_lookup_neigh(), which uses const
variables.

<title>ipv6: convert major tx path to use RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF</title>

<id>7d9e5f422150ed00de744e02a80734d74cc9704d</id>
<content type='text'>
For tx path, in most cases, we still have to take refcnt on the dst
cause the caller is caching the dst somewhere. But it still is
beneficial to make use of RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF flag while doing the
route lookup. It is cause this flag prevents manipulating refcnt on
net-&gt;ipv6.ip6_null_entry when doing fib6_rule_lookup() to traverse each
routing table. The null_entry is a shared object and constant updates on
it cause false sharing.

We converted the current major lookup function ip6_route_output_flags()
to make use of RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF.

Together with the change in the rx path, we see noticable performance
boost:
I ran synflood tests between 2 hosts under the same switch. Both hosts
have 20G mlx NIC, and 8 tx/rx queues.
Sender sends pure SYN flood with random src IPs and ports using trafgen.
Receiver has a simple TCP listener on the target port.
Both hosts have multiple custom rules:
- For incoming packets, only local table is traversed.
- For outgoing packets, 3 tables are traversed to find the route.
The packet processing rate on the receiver is as follows:
- Before the fix: 3.78Mpps
- After the fix:  5.50Mpps

<title>ipv4: Add helpers for neigh lookup for nexthop</title>

<id>5c9f7c1dfc2e0776551ef1ceb335187c6698d1ff</id>
<content type='text'>
A common theme in the output path is looking up a neigh entry for a
nexthop, either the gateway in an rtable or a fallback to the daddr
in the skb:

        nexthop = (__force u32)rt_nexthop(rt, ip_hdr(skb)-&gt;daddr);
        neigh = __ipv4_neigh_lookup_noref(dev, nexthop);
        if (unlikely(!neigh))
                neigh = __neigh_create(&amp;arp_tbl, &amp;nexthop, dev, false);

To allow the nexthop to be an IPv6 address we need to consider the
family of the nexthop and then call __ipv{4,6}_neigh_lookup_noref based
on it.

To make this simpler, add a ip_neigh_gw4 helper similar to ip_neigh_gw6
added in an earlier patch which handles:

        neigh = __ipv4_neigh_lookup_noref(dev, nexthop);
        if (unlikely(!neigh))
                neigh = __neigh_create(&amp;arp_tbl, &amp;nexthop, dev, false);

And then add a second one, ip_neigh_for_gw, that calls either
ip_neigh_gw4 or ip_neigh_gw6 based on the address family of the gateway.

Update the output paths in the VRF driver and core v4 code to use
ip_neigh_for_gw simplifying the family based lookup and making both
ready for a v6 nexthop.

ipv4_neigh_lookup has a different need - the potential to resolve a
passed in address in addition to any gateway in the rtable or skb. Since
this is a one-off, add ip_neigh_gw4 and ip_neigh_gw6 diectly. The
difference between __neigh_create used by the helpers and neigh_create
called by ipv4_neigh_lookup is taking a refcount, so add rcu_read_lock_bh
and bump the refcnt on the neigh entry.

<content type='text'>
A later patch allows an IPv6 gateway with an IPv4 route. The neighbor
entry will exist in the v6 ndisc table and the cached header will contain
the ipv6 protocol which is wrong for an IPv4 packet. For an IPv4 packet to
use the v6 neighbor entry, neigh_output needs to skip the cached header
and just use the output callback for the neigh entry.

A future patchset can look at expanding the hh_cache to handle 2
protocols. For now, IPv6 gateways with an IPv4 route will take the
extra overhead of generating the header.
