====================
pull-request: bpf 2018-07-01

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.

The main changes are:

1) A bpf_fib_lookup() helper fix to change the API before freeze to
   return an encoding of the FIB lookup result and return the nexthop
   device index in the params struct (instead of device index as return
   code that we had before), from David.

2) Various BPF JIT fixes to address syzkaller fallout, that is, do not
   reject progs when set_memory_*() fails since it could still be RO.
   Also arm32 JIT was not using bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro() API which was
   an issue, and a memory leak in s390 JIT found during review, from
   Daniel.

3) Multiple fixes for sockmap/hash to address most of the syzkaller
   triggered bugs. Usage with IPv6 was crashing, a GPF in bpf_tcp_close(),
   a missing sock_map_release() routine to hook up to callbacks, and a
   fix for an omitted bucket lock in sock_close(), from John.

4) Two bpftool fixes to remove duplicated error message on program load,
   and another one to close the libbpf object after program load. One
   additional fix for nfp driver's BPF offload to avoid stopping offload
   completely if replace of program failed, from Jakub.

5) Couple of BPF selftest fixes that bail out in some of the test
   scripts if the user does not have the right privileges, from Jeffrin.

6) Fixes in test_bpf for s390 when CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON is set
   where we need to set the flag that some of the test cases are expected
   to fail, from Kleber.

7) Fix to detangle BPF_LIRC_MODE2 dependency from CONFIG_CGROUP_BPF
   since it has no relation to it and lirc2 users often have configs
   without cgroups enabled and thus would not be able to use it, from Sean.

8) Fix a selftest failure in sockmap by removing a useless setrlimit()
   call that would set a too low limit where at the same time we are
   already including bpf_rlimit.h that does the job, from Yonghong.

9) Fix BPF selftest config with missing missing NET_SCHED, from Anders.

After commit f9d4b0c1e969 ("fib_rules: move common handling of newrule
delrule msgs into fib_nl2rule"), rule_exists got replaced by rule_find
for existing rule lookup in both the add and del paths. While this
is good for the delete path, it solves a few problems but opens up
a few invalid key matches in the add path.

$ip -4 rule add table main tos 10 fwmark 1
$ip -4 rule add table main tos 10
RTNETLINK answers: File exists

The problem here is rule_find does not check if the key masks in
the new and old rule are the same and hence ends up matching a more
secific rule. Rule key masks cannot be easily compared today without
an elaborate if-else block. Its best to introduce key masks for easier
and accurate rule comparison in the future. Until then, due to fear of
regressions this patch re-introduces older loose rule_exists during add.
Also fixes both rule_exists and rule_find to cover missing attributes.

alloc_skb_with_frags uses __GFP_NORETRY for non-sleeping allocations
which is just a noop and a little bit confusing.

__GFP_NORETRY was added by ed98df3361f0 ("net: use __GFP_NORETRY for
high order allocations") to prevent from the OOM killer. Yet this was
not enough because fb05e7a89f50 ("net: don't wait for order-3 page
allocation") didn't want an excessive reclaim for non-costly orders
so it made it completely NOWAIT while it preserved __GFP_NORETRY in
place which is now redundant.

Drop the pointless __GFP_NORETRY because this function is used as
copy&amp;paste source for other places.

Currently the kernel accounts the memory for network traffic through
mem_cgroup_[un]charge_skmem() interface. However the memory accounted
only includes the truesize of sk_buff which does not include the size of
sock objects. In our production environment, with opt-out kmem
accounting, the sock kmem caches (TCP[v6], UDP[v6], RAW[v6], UNIX) are
among the top most charged kmem caches and consume a significant amount
of memory which can not be left as system overhead. So, this patch
converts the kmem caches of all sock objects to SLAB_ACCOUNT.

<title>bpf: Change bpf_fib_lookup to return lookup status</title>

For ACLs implemented using either FIB rules or FIB entries, the BPF
program needs the FIB lookup status to be able to drop the packet.
Since the bpf_fib_lookup API has not reached a released kernel yet,
change the return code to contain an encoding of the FIB lookup
result and return the nexthop device index in the params struct.

In addition, inform the BPF program of any post FIB lookup reason as
to why the packet needs to go up the stack.

The fib result for unicast routes must have an egress device, so remove
the check that it is non-NULL.

The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely
unexplained.  They also caused a huge performance regression, because
"-&gt;poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down
to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect
calls.

Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the
performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the
"-&gt;get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer
to the poll head instead.  That gets rid of one of the new indirections.

But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted
for the regular case.  The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes
was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case
slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all
really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental
redesign.

[ This revert is a revert of about 30 different commits, not reverted
  individually because that would just be unnecessarily messy  - Linus ]

Two rules with different values of suppress_prefix or suppress_ifgroup
are not the same. This fixes an -EEXIST when running:

   $ ip -4 rule add table main suppress_prefixlength 0

if dev_get_valid_name failed, propagate its return code

and remove the setting err to ENODEV, it will be set to
0 again before dev_change_net_namespace exits.
