As suggested by Eric Dumazet this change replaces the
#define with a static inline function to enjoy
complaints by the compiler when misusing the API.

When using ip lwtunnels, the additional data for xmit (basically, the actual
tunnel to use) are carried in ip_tunnel_info either in dst-&gt;lwtstate or in
metadata dst. When replying to ARP requests, we need to send the reply to
the same tunnel the request came from. This means we need to construct
proper metadata dst for ARP replies.

We could perform another route lookup to get a dst entry with the correct
lwtstate. However, this won't always ensure that the outgoing tunnel is the
same as the incoming one, and it won't work anyway for IPv4 duplicate
address detection.

The only thing to do is to "reverse" the ip_tunnel_info.

<title>tcp/dccp: fix timewait races in timer handling</title>

<content type='text'>
When creating a timewait socket, we need to arm the timer before
allowing other cpus to find it. The signal allowing cpus to find
the socket is setting tw_refcnt to non zero value.

As we set tw_refcnt in __inet_twsk_hashdance(), we therefore need to
call inet_twsk_schedule() first.

This also means we need to remove tw_refcnt changes from
inet_twsk_schedule() and let the caller handle it.

Note that because we use mod_timer_pinned(), we have the guarantee
the timer wont expire before we set tw_refcnt as we run in BH context.

To make things more readable I introduced inet_twsk_reschedule() helper.

When rearming the timer, we can use mod_timer_pending() to make sure
we do not rearm a canceled timer.

Note: This bug can possibly trigger if packets of a flow can hit
multiple cpus. This does not normally happen, unless flow steering
is broken somehow. This explains this bug was spotted ~5 months after
its introduction.

A similar fix is needed for SYN_RECV sockets in reqsk_queue_hash_req(),
but will be provided in a separate patch for proper tracking.

<title>net: Fix behaviour of unreachable, blackhole and prohibit routes</title>

Man page of ip-route(8) says following about route types:

  unreachable - these destinations are unreachable.  Packets are dis‐
  carded and the ICMP message host unreachable is generated.  The local
  senders get an EHOSTUNREACH error.

  blackhole - these destinations are unreachable.  Packets are dis‐
  carded silently.  The local senders get an EINVAL error.

  prohibit - these destinations are unreachable.  Packets are discarded
  and the ICMP message communication administratively prohibited is
  generated.  The local senders get an EACCES error.

In the inet6 address family, this was correct, except the local senders
got ENETUNREACH error instead of EHOSTUNREACH in case of unreachable route.
In the inet address family, all three route types generated ICMP message
net unreachable, and the local senders got ENETUNREACH error.

In both address families all three route types now behave consistently
with documentation.

Steffen reported that the recent change to add oif to dst lookups breaks
the VTI use case. The problem is that with the oif set in the flow struct
the comparison to the nh_oif is triggered. Fix by splitting the
FLOWI_FLAG_VRFSRC into 2 flags -- one that triggers the vrf device cache
bypass (FLOWI_FLAG_VRFSRC) and another telling the lookup to not compare
nh oif (FLOWI_FLAG_SKIP_NH_OIF).

<id>cdf3464e6c6bd764277cbbe992cd12da735b92fb</id>
<content type='text'>
Problems in the current dst_entry cache in the ip6_tunnel:

1. ip6_tnl_dst_set is racy.  There is no lock to protect it:
   - One major problem is that the dst refcnt gets messed up. F.e.
     the same dst_cache can be released multiple times and then
     triggering the infamous dst refcnt &lt; 0 warning message.
   - Another issue is the inconsistency between dst_cache and
     dst_cookie.

   It can be reproduced by adding and removing the ip6gre tunnel
   while running a super_netperf TCP_CRR test.

2. ip6_tnl_dst_get does not take the dst refcnt before returning
   the dst.

This patch:
1. Create a percpu dst_entry cache in ip6_tnl
2. Use a spinlock to protect the dst_cache operations
3. ip6_tnl_dst_get always takes the dst refcnt before returning

Problems in the current dst_entry cache in the ip6_tunnel:

1. ip6_tnl_dst_set is racy.  There is no lock to protect it:
   - One major problem is that the dst refcnt gets messed up. F.e.
     the same dst_cache can be released multiple times and then
     triggering the infamous dst refcnt &lt; 0 warning message.
   - Another issue is the inconsistency between dst_cache and
     dst_cookie.

   It can be reproduced by adding and removing the ip6gre tunnel
   while running a super_netperf TCP_CRR test.

2. ip6_tnl_dst_get does not take the dst refcnt before returning
   the dst.

This patch:
1. Create a percpu dst_entry cache in ip6_tnl
2. Use a spinlock to protect the dst_cache operations
3. ip6_tnl_dst_get always takes the dst refcnt before returning

It is a prep work to fix the dst_entry refcnt bugs in
ip6_tunnel.

This patch rename:
1. ip6_tnl_dst_check() to ip6_tnl_dst_get() to better
   reflect that it will take a dst refcnt in the next patch.
2. ip6_tnl_dst_store() to ip6_tnl_dst_set() to have a more
   conventional name matching with ip6_tnl_dst_get().
