Previously, during fragmentation after forwarding, skb-&gt;skb_iif isn't
preserved, i.e. 'ip_copy_metadata' does not copy skb_iif from given
'from' skb.

As a result, ip_do_fragment's creates fragments with zero skb_iif,
leading to inconsistent behavior.

Assume for example an eBPF program attached at tc egress (post
forwarding) that examines __sk_buff-&gt;ingress_ifindex:
 - the correct iif is observed if forwarding path does not involve
   fragmentation/refragmentation
 - a bogus iif is observed if forwarding path involves
   fragmentation/refragmentatiom

Fix, by preserving skb_iif during 'ip_copy_metadata'.

<title>sk_buff: add skb extension infrastructure</title>

This adds an optional extension infrastructure, with ispec (xfrm) and
bridge netfilter as first users.
objdiff shows no changes if kernel is built without xfrm and br_netfilter
support.

The third (planned future) user is Multipath TCP which is still
out-of-tree.
MPTCP needs to map logical mptcp sequence numbers to the tcp sequence
numbers used by individual subflows.

This DSS mapping is read/written from tcp option space on receive and
written to tcp option space on transmitted tcp packets that are part of
and MPTCP connection.

Extending skb_shared_info or adding a private data field to skb fclones
doesn't work for incoming skb, so a different DSS propagation method would
be required for the receive side.

mptcp has same requirements as secpath/bridge netfilter:

1. extension memory is released when the sk_buff is free'd.
2. data is shared after cloning an skb (clone inherits extension)
3. adding extension to an skb will COW the extension buffer if needed.

The "MPTCP upstreaming" effort adds SKB_EXT_MPTCP extension to store the
mapping for tx and rx processing.

Two new members are added to sk_buff:
1. 'active_extensions' byte (filling a hole), telling which extensions
   are available for this skb.
   This has two purposes.
   a) avoids the need to initialize the pointer.
   b) allows to "delete" an extension by clearing its bit
   value in -&gt;active_extensions.

   While it would be possible to store the active_extensions byte
   in the extension struct instead of sk_buff, there is one problem
   with this:
    When an extension has to be disabled, we can always clear the
    bit in skb-&gt;active_extensions.  But in case it would be stored in the
    extension buffer itself, we might have to COW it first, if
    we are dealing with a cloned skb.  On kmalloc failure we would
    be unable to turn an extension off.

2. extension pointer, located at the end of the sk_buff.
   If the active_extensions byte is 0, the pointer is undefined,
   it is not initialized on skb allocation.

This adds extra code to skb clone and free paths (to deal with
refcount/free of extension area) but this replaces similar code that
manages skb-&gt;nf_bridge and skb-&gt;sp structs in the followup patches of
the series.

It is possible to add support for extensions that are not preseved on
clones/copies.

To do this, it would be needed to define a bitmask of all extensions that
need copy/cow semantics, and change __skb_ext_copy() to check
-&gt;active_extensions &amp; SKB_EXT_PRESERVE_ON_CLONE, then just set
-&gt;active_extensions to 0 on the new clone.

This isn't done here because all extensions that get added here
need the copy/cow semantics.

v2:
Allocate entire extension space using kmem_cache.
Upside is that this allows better tracking of used memory,
downside is that we will allocate more space than strictly needed in
most cases (its unlikely that all extensions are active/needed at same
time for same skb).
The allocated memory (except the small extension header) is not cleared,
so no additonal overhead aside from memory usage.

Avoid atomic_dec_and_test operation on skb_ext_put()
by using similar trick as kfree_skbmem() does with fclone_ref:
If recount is 1, there is no concurrent user and we can free right away.

<content type='text'>
With MSG_ZEROCOPY, each skb holds a reference to a struct ubuf_info.
Release of its last reference triggers a completion notification.

The TCP stack in tcp_sendmsg_locked holds an extra ref independent of
the skbs, because it can build, send and free skbs within its loop,
possibly reaching refcount zero and freeing the ubuf_info too soon.

The UDP stack currently also takes this extra ref, but does not need
it as all skbs are sent after return from __ip(6)_append_data.

Avoid the extra refcount_inc and refcount_dec_and_test, and generally
the sock_zerocopy_put in the common path, by passing the initial
reference to the first skb.

This approach is taken instead of initializing the refcount to 0, as
that would generate error "refcount_t: increment on 0" on the
next skb_zcopy_set.

Changes
  v3 -&gt; v4
    - Move skb_zcopy_set below the only kfree_skb that might cause
      a premature uarg destroy before skb_zerocopy_put_abort
      - Move the entire skb_shinfo assignment block, to keep that
        cacheline access in one place

Extend zerocopy to udp sockets. Allow setting sockopt SO_ZEROCOPY and
interpret flag MSG_ZEROCOPY.

This patch was previously part of the zerocopy RFC patchsets. Zerocopy
is not effective at small MTU. With segmentation offload building
larger datagrams, the benefit of page flipping outweights the cost of
generating a completion notification.

test patch and making skb_orphan_frags_rx same as skb_orphan_frags:

In ip packet generation, pagedlen is initialized for each skb at the
start of the loop in __ip(6)_append_data, before label alloc_new_skb.

Depending on compiler options, code can be generated that jumps to
this label, triggering use of an an uninitialized variable.

In practice, at -O2, the generated code moves the initialization below
the label. But the code should not rely on that for correctness.

The skb hash for locally generated ip[v6] fragments belonging

* for connected UDP[v6] sockets, the first fragment get its hash
  via set_owner_w()/skb_set_hash_from_sk()
* for unconnected IPv6 UDPv6 sockets, the first fragment can get
  its hash via ip6_make_flowlabel()/skb_get_hash_flowi6(), if
  auto_flowlabel is enabled

For the following frags the hash is usually computed via
skb_get_hash().
The above can cause OoO for unconnected IPv6 UDPv6 socket: in that
scenario the egress tx queue can be selected on a per packet basis
via the skb hash.
It may also fool flow-oriented schedulers to place fragments belonging
to the same datagram in different flows.

Fix the issue by copying the skb hash from the head frag into
the others at fragmentation time.

The skb hash for locally generated ip[v6] fragments belonging
to the same datagram can vary in several circumstances:
* for connected UDP[v6] sockets, the first fragment get its hash
  via set_owner_w()/skb_set_hash_from_sk()
* for unconnected IPv6 UDPv6 sockets, the first fragment can get
  its hash via ip6_make_flowlabel()/skb_get_hash_flowi6(), if
  auto_flowlabel is enabled

For the following frags the hash is usually computed via
skb_get_hash().
The above can cause OoO for unconnected IPv6 UDPv6 socket: in that

Now that ipc(6)-&gt;gso_size is correctly initialized in all callers of
ip(6)_setup_cork, it is safe to unconditionally pass it to the cork.
