Socket option PACKET_FANOUT_DATA takes a struct sock_fprog as argument
if PACKET_FANOUT has mode PACKET_FANOUT_CBPF. This structure contains
a pointer into user memory. If userland is 32-bit and kernel is 64-bit
the two disagree about the layout of struct sock_fprog.

Add compat setsockopt support to convert a 32-bit compat_sock_fprog to
a 64-bit sock_fprog. This is analogous to compat_sock_fprog support for
SO_REUSEPORT added in commit 1957598840f4 ("soreuseport: add compat
case for setsockopt SO_ATTACH_REUSEPORT_CBPF").

====================
Netfilter/IPVS fixes for net

The following patchset contains two Netfilter/IPVS fixes for your net
tree, they are:

1) Fix missing alignment in next offset calculation for standard
   targets, introduced in the previous merge window, patch from
   Florian Westphal.

2) Fix to correct the handling of outgoing connections which use the
   SIP-pe such that the binding of a real-server is updated when needed.
   This was an omission from changes introduced by Marco Angaroni in
   the previous merge window too, to allow handling of outgoing
   connections by the SIP-pe. Patch and report came via Simon Horman.

<title>net: sched: fix tc_should_offload for specific clsact classes</title>

When offloading classifiers such as u32 or flower to hardware, and the
qdisc is clsact (TC_H_CLSACT), then we need to differentiate its classes,
since not all of them handle ingress, therefore we must leave those in
software path. Add a .tcf_cl_offload() callback, so we can generically
handle them, tested on ixgbe.

For gso_skb we only update qlen, backlog should be updated too.

Note, it is correct to just update these stats at one layer,
because the gso_skb is cached there.

<title>ipvs: update real-server binding of outgoing connections in SIP-pe</title>

<id>3ec10d3a2ba591c87da94219c1e46b02ae97757a</id>
<content type='text'>
Previous patch that introduced handling of outgoing packets in SIP
persistent-engine did not call ip_vs_check_template() in case packet was
matching a connection template. Assumption was that real-server was
healthy, since it was sending a packet just in that moment.

There are however real-server fault conditions requiring that association
between call-id and real-server (represented by connection template)
gets updated. Here is an example of the sequence of events:
  1) RS1 is a back2back user agent that handled call-id1 and call-id2
  2) RS1 is down and was marked as unavailable
  3) new message from outside comes to IPVS with call-id1
  4) IPVS reschedules the message to RS2, which becomes new call handler
  5) RS2 forwards the message outside, translating call-id1 to call-id2
  6) inside pe-&gt;conn_out() IPVS matches call-id2 with existing template
  7) IPVS does not change association call-id2 &lt;-&gt; RS1
  8) new message comes from client with call-id2
  9) IPVS reschedules the message to a real-server potentially different
     from RS2, which is now the correct destination

This patch introduces ip_vs_check_template() call in the handling of
outgoing packets for SIP-pe. And also introduces a second optional
argument for ip_vs_check_template() that allows to check if dest
associated to a connection template is the same dest that was identified
as the source of the packet. This is to change the real-server bound to a
particular call-id independently from its availability status: the idea
is that it's more reliable, for in-&gt;out direction (where internal
network can be considered trusted), to always associate a call-id with
the last real-server that used it in one of its messages. Think about
above sequence of events where, just after step 5, RS1 returns instead
to be available.

Comparison of dests is done by simply comparing pointers to struct
ip_vs_dest; there should be no cases where struct ip_vs_dest keeps its
memory address, but represent a different real-server in terms of
ip-address / port.

A recent cleanup moved MAX_IPTUN_ENCAP_OPS along with some other
definitions, but it is now invisible when CONFIG_INET is
not defined, but still referenced from ip6_tunnel.h:

In file included from net/xfrm/xfrm_input.c:17:0:

                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This hides the ip6_encap_hlen and ip6_tnl_encap functions inside
of CONFIG_INET so we don't run into the the problem.

Alternatively we could move the macro out of the #ifdef again to
restore the previous behavior

&gt;

The simple fix for this requires a new pernet variable for struct
nf_queue that indicates when it is safe to use the dynamically
allocated nf_queue state.

As we need a variable anyway make nf_register_queue_handler and
nf_unregister_queue_handler pernet.  This allows the existing logic of
when it is safe to use the state from the nfnetlink_queue module to be
reused with no changes except for making it per net.

The syncrhonize_rcu from nf_unregister_queue_handler is moved to a new
function nfnl_queue_net_exit_batch so that the worst case of having a
syncrhonize_rcu in the pernet exit path is not experienced in batch
mode.

&gt;

The simple fix for this requires a new pernet variable for struct
nf_queue that indicates when it is safe to use the dynamically
allocated nf_queue state.

As we need a variable anyway make nf_register_queue_handler and
nf_unregister_queue_handler pernet.  This allows the existing logic of
when it is safe to use the state from the nfnetlink_queue module to be
reused with no changes except for making it per net.

The syncrhonize_rcu from nf_unregister_queue_handler is moved to a new
function nfnl_queue_net_exit_batch so that the worst case of having a
syncrhonize_rcu in the pernet exit path is not experienced in batch
mode.

<title>net_sched: avoid too many hrtimer_start() calls</title>

I found a serious performance bug in packet schedulers using hrtimers.

sch_htb and sch_fq are definitely impacted by this problem.

We constantly rearm high resolution timers if some packets are throttled
in one (or more) class, and other packets are flying through qdisc on
another (non throttled) class.

hrtimer_start() does not have the mod_timer() trick of doing nothing if
expires value does not change :

	if (timer_pending(timer) &amp;&amp;
            timer-&gt;expires == expires)
                return 1;

This issue is particularly visible when multiple cpus can queue/dequeue
packets on the same qdisc, as hrtimer code has to lock a remote base.

I used following fix :

1) Change htb to use qdisc_watchdog_schedule_ns() instead of open-coding
it.

2) Cache watchdog prior expiration. hrtimer might provide this, but I
prefer to not rely on some hrtimer internal.

<title>net: sock: move -&gt;sk_shutdown out of bitfields.</title>

-&gt;sk_shutdown bits share one bitfield with some other bits in sock struct,
such as -&gt;sk_no_check_[r,t]x, -&gt;sk_userlocks ...
sock_setsockopt() may write to these bits, while holding the socket lock.

In case of AF_UNIX sockets, we change -&gt;sk_shutdown bits while holding only
unix_state_lock(). So concurrent setsockopt() and shutdown() may lead
to corrupting these bits.

Fix this by moving -&gt;sk_shutdown bits out of bitfield into a separate byte.
This will not change the 'struct sock' size since -&gt;sk_shutdown moved into
previously unused 16-bit hole.
