As ping_v6_sendmsg is used only in this file,
making it static

The body of "pingv6_prot" and "pingv6_protosw" were
moved at the middle of the file, to avoid having to
declare some static prototypes.

<content type='text'>
If a packet is either locally encapsulated or processed through GRO
it is marked with the offloads that it requires. However, when it is
decapsulated these tunnel offload indications are not removed. This
means that if we receive an encapsulated TCP packet, aggregate it with
GRO, decapsulate, and retransmit the resulting frame on a NIC that does
not support encapsulation, we won't be able to take advantage of hardware
offloads even though it is just a simple TCP packet at this point.

This fixes the problem by stripping off encapsulation offload indications
when packets are decapsulated.

The performance impacts of this bug are significant. In a test where a
Geneve encapsulated TCP stream is sent to a hypervisor, GRO'ed, decapsulated,
and bridged to a VM performance is improved by 60% (5Gbps-&gt;8Gbps) as a
result of avoiding unnecessary segmentation at the VM tap interface.

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.

<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

<title>ipv6, trace: fix tos reporting on fib6_table_lookup</title>

flowi6_tos of struct flowi6 is unused in IPv6, therefore dumping tos on
that tracepoint will also give incorrect information wrt traffic class.

If we want to fix it, we need to extract it via ip6_tclass(flp-&gt;flowlabel).
While for the same test case I get a count of 0 non-zero tos values before
the change, they now start to show up after the change:

  # ./perf record -e fib6:fib6_table_lookup -a sleep 10
  # ./perf script | grep -v "tos 0" | wc -l
  60

Since there's no user in the kernel tree anymore of flowi6_tos, remove the
define to avoid any future confusion on this.

Jiri mentioned that flowi6_tos of struct flowi6 is never used/read
anywhere. In fact, rest of the kernel uses the flowi6's flowlabel,
where the traffic class _and_ the flowlabel (aka flowinfo) is encoded.

For example, for policy routing, fib6_rule_match() uses ip6_tclass()
that is applied on the flowlabel member for matching on tclass. Similar
fix is needed for geneve, where flowi6_tos is set as well. Installing
a v6 blackhole rule that f.e. matches on tos is now working with vxlan.
