If the user supply a different fragmentation point or if there is a
network header that cause it to not be aligned, force it to be aligned.

Fragmentation point at a value that is not aligned is not optimal.  It
causes extra padding to be used and has just no pros.

v2:
 - Make use of the new WORD_TRUNC macro

<title>sctp: align MTU to a word</title>

<id>3822a5ff4bc32043fa9c7b6d6f125bcdca6da39c</id>
<content type='text'>
SCTP is a protocol that is aligned to a word (4 bytes). Thus using bare
MTU can sometimes return values that are not aligned, like for loopback,
which is 65536 but ipv4_mtu() limits that to 65535. This mis-alignment
will cause the last non-aligned bytes to never be used and can cause
issues with congestion control.

So it's better to just consider a lower MTU and keep congestion control
calcs saner as they are based on PMTU.

Same applies to icmp frag needed messages, which is also fixed by this
patch.

One other effect of this is the inability to send MTU-sized packet
without queueing or fragmentation and without hitting Nagle. As the
check performed at sctp_packet_can_append_data():

if (chunk-&gt;skb-&gt;len + q-&gt;out_qlen &gt;= transport-&gt;pathmtu - packet-&gt;overhead)
	/* Enough data queued to fill a packet */
	return SCTP_XMIT_OK;

with the above example of MTU, if there are no other messages queued,
one cannot send a packet that just fits one packet (65532 bytes) and
without causing DATA chunk fragmentation or a delay.

v2:
 - Added WORD_TRUNC macro

 "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"

Currently sctp_sendmsg() triggers some calls that will allocate memory
with GFP_ATOMIC even when not necessary. In the case of
sctp_packet_transmit it will allocate a linear skb that will be used to
construct the packet and this may cause sends to fail due to ENOMEM more
often than anticipated specially with big MTUs.

This patch thus allows it to inherit gfp flags from upper calls so that
it can use GFP_KERNEL if it was triggered by a sctp_sendmsg call or
similar. All others, like retransmits or flushes started from BH, are
still allocated using GFP_ATOMIC.

In netperf tests this didn't result in any performance drawbacks when
memory is not too fragmented and made it trigger ENOMEM way less often.

<title>sctp: fix copying more bytes than expected in sctp_add_bind_addr</title>

<content type='text'>
Dmitry reported that sctp_add_bind_addr may read more bytes than
expected in case the parameter is a IPv4 addr supplied by the user
through calls such as sctp_bindx_add(), because it always copies
sizeof(union sctp_addr) while the buffer may be just a struct
sockaddr_in, which is smaller.

This patch then fixes it by limiting the memcpy to the min between the
union size and a (new parameter) provided addr size. Where possible this
parameter still is the size of that union, except for reading from
user-provided buffers, which then it accounts for protocol type.

Since commit 8b570dc9f7b6 ("sctp: only drop the reference on the datamsg
after sending a msg") used sctp_datamsg_put in sctp_sendmsg, instead of
sctp_datamsg_free, this function has no use in sctp.

So we will remove it.

Since commit 8b570dc9f7b6 ("sctp: only drop the reference on the datamsg
after sending a msg") used sctp_datamsg_put in sctp_sendmsg, instead of
sctp_datamsg_free, this function has no use in sctp.

So we will remove it.

After we use refcnt to check if transport is alive, the dead can be
removed from sctp_transport.

The traversal of transport_addr_list in procfs dump is using
list_for_each_entry_rcu, no need to check if it has been freed.

sctp_generate_t3_rtx_event and sctp_generate_heartbeat_event is
protected by sock lock, it's not necessary to check dead, either.
also, the timers are cancelled when sctp_transport_free() is
called, that it doesn't wait for refcnt to reach 0 to cancel them.

<title>sctp: fix the transport dead race check by using atomic_add_unless on refcnt</title>

Now when __sctp_lookup_association is running in BH, it will try to
check if t-&gt;dead is set, but meanwhile other CPUs may be freeing this
transport and this assoc and if it happens that
__sctp_lookup_association checked t-&gt;dead a bit too early, it may think
that the association is still good while it was already freed.

So we fix this race by using atomic_add_unless in sctp_transport_hold.
After we get one transport from hashtable, we will hold it only when
this transport's refcnt is not 0, so that we can make sure t-&gt;asoc
cannot be freed before we hold the asoc again.

Note that sctp association is not freed using RCU so we can't use
atomic_add_unless() with it as it may just be too late for that either.
