Handle the case when GSO SKB linear length is too large.

MANA NIC requires GSO packets to put only the header part to SGE0,
otherwise the TX queue may stop at the HW level.

So, use 2 SGEs for the skb linear part which contains more than the
packet header.

<title>tcp: fix quick-ack counting to count actual ACKs of new data</title>

<id>059217c18be6757b95bfd77ba53fb50b48b8a816</id>
<content type='text'>
This commit fixes quick-ack counting so that it only considers that a
quick-ack has been provided if we are sending an ACK that newly
acknowledges data.

The code was erroneously using the number of data segments in outgoing
skbs when deciding how many quick-ack credits to remove. This logic
does not make sense, and could cause poor performance in
request-response workloads, like RPC traffic, where requests or
responses can be multi-segment skbs.

When a TCP connection decides to send N quick-acks, that is to
accelerate the cwnd growth of the congestion control module
controlling the remote endpoint of the TCP connection. That quick-ack
decision is purely about the incoming data and outgoing ACKs. It has
nothing to do with the outgoing data or the size of outgoing data.

And in particular, an ACK only serves the intended purpose of allowing
the remote congestion control to grow the congestion window quickly if
the ACK is ACKing or SACKing new data.

The fix is simple: only count packets as serving the goal of the
quickack mechanism if they are ACKing/SACKing new data. We can tell
whether this is the case by checking inet_csk_ack_scheduled(), since
we schedule an ACK exactly when we are ACKing/SACKing new data.

<title>ipv4/fib: send notify when delete source address routes</title>

<id>4b2b606075e50cdae62ab2356b0a1e206947c354</id>
<content type='text'>
After deleting an interface address in fib_del_ifaddr(), the function
scans the fib_info list for stray entries and calls fib_flush() and
fib_table_flush(). Then the stray entries will be deleted silently and no
RTM_DELROUTE notification will be sent.

This lack of notification can make routing daemons, or monitor like
`ip monitor route` miss the routing changes. e.g.

+ ip link add dummy1 type dummy
+ ip link add dummy2 type dummy
+ ip link set dummy1 up
+ ip link set dummy2 up
+ ip addr add 192.168.5.5/24 dev dummy1
+ ip route add 7.7.7.0/24 dev dummy2 src 192.168.5.5
+ ip -4 route
7.7.7.0/24 dev dummy2 scope link src 192.168.5.5
192.168.5.0/24 dev dummy1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.5.5
+ ip monitor route
+ ip addr del 192.168.5.5/24 dev dummy1
Deleted 192.168.5.0/24 dev dummy1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.5.5
Deleted broadcast 192.168.5.255 dev dummy1 table local proto kernel scope link src 192.168.5.5
Deleted local 192.168.5.5 dev dummy1 table local proto kernel scope host src 192.168.5.5

As Ido reminded, fib_table_flush() isn't only called when an address is
deleted, but also when an interface is deleted or put down. The lack of
notification in these cases is deliberate. And commit 7c6bb7d2faaf
("net/ipv6: Add knob to skip DELROUTE message on device down") introduced
a sysctl to make IPv6 behave like IPv4 in this regard. So we can't send
the route delete notify blindly in fib_table_flush().

To fix this issue, let's add a new flag in "struct fib_info" to track the
deleted prefer source address routes, and only send notify for them.

After update:
+ ip monitor route
+ ip addr del 192.168.5.5/24 dev dummy1
Deleted 192.168.5.0/24 dev dummy1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.5.5

This fixes the following warnings:

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: fix memleak when more than 255 elements expired</title>

When more than 255 elements expired we're supposed to switch to a new gc
container structure.

This never happens: u8 type will wrap before reaching the boundary
and nft_trans_gc_space() always returns true.

This means we recycle the initial gc container structure and
lose track of the elements that came before.

While at it, don't deref 'gc' after we've passed it to call_rcu.

Fixes: 5f68718b34a5 ("netfilter: nf_tables: GC transaction API to avoid race with control plane")

netfilter pull request 23-09-13

====================

The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for net:

1) Do not permit to remove rules from chain binding, otherwise
   double rule release is possible, triggering UaF. This rule
   deletion support does not make sense and userspace does not use
   this. Problem exists since the introduction of chain binding support.

2) rbtree GC worker only collects the elements that have expired.
   This operation is not destructive, therefore, turn write into
   read spinlock to avoid datapath contention due to GC worker run.
   This was not fixed in the recent GC fix batch in the 6.5 cycle.

3) pipapo set backend performs sync GC, therefore, catchall elements
   must use sync GC queue variant. This bug was introduced in the
   6.5 cycle with the recent GC fixes.

4) Stop GC run if memory allocation fails in pipapo set backend,
   otherwise access to NULL pointer to GC transaction object might
   occur. This bug was introduced in the 6.5 cycle with the recent
   GC fixes.

5) rhash GC run uses an iterator that might hit EAGAIN to rewind,
   triggering double-collection of the same element. This bug was
   introduced in the 6.5 cycle with the recent GC fixes.

6) Do not permit to remove elements in anonymous sets, this type of
   sets are populated once and then bound to rules. This fix is
   similar to the chain binding patch coming first in this batch.
   API permits since the very beginning but it has no use case from
   userspace.
