<title>tcp: consider recv buf for the initial window scale</title>

tcp_select_initial_window() intends to advertise a window
scaling for the maximum possible window size. To do so,
it considers the maximum of net.ipv4.tcp_rmem[2] and
net.core.rmem_max as the only possible upper-bounds.
However, users with CAP_NET_ADMIN can use SO_RCVBUFFORCE
to set the socket's receive buffer size to values
larger than net.ipv4.tcp_rmem[2] and net.core.rmem_max.
Thus, SO_RCVBUFFORCE is effectively ignored by
tcp_select_initial_window().

To fix this, consider the maximum of net.ipv4.tcp_rmem[2],
net.core.rmem_max and socket's initial buffer space.

Currently lastuse is updated on entry creation and cache hit, but it should
also be updated on entry change. Since both on add and update the ttl array

<title>udp: use sk_filter_trim_cap for udp{,6}_queue_rcv_skb</title>

After a612769774a3 ("udp: prevent bugcheck if filter truncates packet
too much"), there followed various other fixes for similar cases such
as f4979fcea7fd ("rose: limit sk_filter trim to payload").

Latter introduced a new helper sk_filter_trim_cap(), where we can pass
the trim limit directly to the socket filter handling. Make use of it
here as well with sizeof(struct udphdr) as lower cap limit and drop the
extra skb-&gt;len test in UDP's input path.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next,
they are:

1) Count pre-established connections as active in "least connection"
   schedulers such that pre-established connections to avoid overloading
   backend servers on peak demands, from Michal Kubecek via Simon Horman.

2) Address a race condition when resizing the conntrack table by caching
   the bucket size when fulling iterating over the hashtable in these
   three possible scenarios: 1) dump via /proc/net/nf_conntrack,
   2) unlinking userspace helper and 3) unlinking custom conntrack timeout.
   From Liping Zhang.

3) Revisit early_drop() path to perform lockless traversal on conntrack
   eviction under stress, use del_timer() as synchronization point to
   avoid two CPUs evicting the same entry, from Florian Westphal.

4) Move NAT hlist_head to nf_conn object, this simplifies the existing
   NAT extension and it doesn't increase size since recent patches to
   align nf_conn, from Florian.

5) Use rhashtable for the by-source NAT hashtable, also from Florian.

6) Don't allow --physdev-is-out from OUTPUT chain, just like
   --physdev-out is not either, from Hangbin Liu.

7) Automagically set on nf_conntrack counters if the user tries to
   match ct bytes/packets from nftables, from Liping Zhang.

8) Remove possible_net_t fields in nf_tables set objects since we just
   simply pass the net pointer to the backend set type implementations.

9) Fix possible off-by-one in h323, from Toby DiPasquale.

10) early_drop() may be called from ctnetlink patch, so we must hold
    rcu read size lock from them too, this amends Florian's patch #3
    coming in this batch, from Liping Zhang.

11) Use binary search to validate jump offset in x_tables, this
    addresses the O(n!) validation that was introduced recently
    resolve security issues with unpriviledge namespaces, from Florian.

12) Fix reference leak to connlabel in error path of nft_ct, from Zhang.

13) Three updates for nft_log: Fix log prefix leak in error path. Bail
    out on loglevel larger than debug in nft_log and set on the new
    NF_LOG_F_COPY_LEN flag when snaplen is specified. Again from Zhang.

14) Allow to filter rule dumps in nf_tables based on table and chain
    names.

15) Simplify connlabel to always use 128 bits to store labels and
    get rid of unused function in xt_connlabel, from Florian.

16) Replace set_expect_timeout() by mod_timer() from the h323 conntrack
    helper, by Gao Feng.

17) Put back x_tables module reference in nft_compat on error, from
    Liping Zhang.

18) Add a reference count to the x_tables extensions cache in
    nft_compat, so we can remove them when unused and avoid a crash
    if the extensions are rmmod, again from Zhang.
====================

====================
Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next,
they are:

1) Count pre-established connections as active in "least connection"
   schedulers such that pre-established connections to avoid overloading
   backend servers on peak demands, from Michal Kubecek via Simon Horman.

2) Address a race condition when resizing the conntrack table by caching
   the bucket size when fulling iterating over the hashtable in these
   three possible scenarios: 1) dump via /proc/net/nf_conntrack,
   2) unlinking userspace helper and 3) unlinking custom conntrack timeout.
   From Liping Zhang.

3) Revisit early_drop() path to perform lockless traversal on conntrack
   eviction under stress, use del_timer() as synchronization point to
   avoid two CPUs evicting the same entry, from Florian Westphal.

4) Move NAT hlist_head to nf_conn object, this simplifies the existing
   NAT extension and it doesn't increase size since recent patches to
   align nf_conn, from Florian.

5) Use rhashtable for the by-source NAT hashtable, also from Florian.

6) Don't allow --physdev-is-out from OUTPUT chain, just like
   --physdev-out is not either, from Hangbin Liu.

7) Automagically set on nf_conntrack counters if the user tries to
   match ct bytes/packets from nftables, from Liping Zhang.

8) Remove possible_net_t fields in nf_tables set objects since we just
   simply pass the net pointer to the backend set type implementations.

9) Fix possible off-by-one in h323, from Toby DiPasquale.

10) early_drop() may be called from ctnetlink patch, so we must hold
    rcu read size lock from them too, this amends Florian's patch #3
    coming in this batch, from Liping Zhang.

11) Use binary search to validate jump offset in x_tables, this
    addresses the O(n!) validation that was introduced recently
    resolve security issues with unpriviledge namespaces, from Florian.

12) Fix reference leak to connlabel in error path of nft_ct, from Zhang.

13) Three updates for nft_log: Fix log prefix leak in error path. Bail
    out on loglevel larger than debug in nft_log and set on the new
    NF_LOG_F_COPY_LEN flag when snaplen is specified. Again from Zhang.

14) Allow to filter rule dumps in nf_tables based on table and chain
    names.

15) Simplify connlabel to always use 128 bits to store labels and
    get rid of unused function in xt_connlabel, from Florian.

16) Replace set_expect_timeout() by mod_timer() from the h323 conntrack
    helper, by Gao Feng.

17) Put back x_tables module reference in nft_compat on error, from
    Liping Zhang.

18) Add a reference count to the x_tables extensions cache in
    nft_compat, so we can remove them when unused and avoid a crash
    if the extensions are rmmod, again from Zhang.

<title>net: ip_finish_output_gso: If skb_gso_network_seglen exceeds MTU, allow segmentation for local udp tunneled skbs</title>

Given:
 - tap0 and vxlan0 are bridged
 - vxlan0 stacked on eth0, eth0 having small mtu (e.g. 1400)

Assume GSO skbs arriving from tap0 having a gso_size as determined by
user-provided virtio_net_hdr (e.g. 1460 corresponding to VM mtu of 1500).

After encapsulation these skbs have skb_gso_network_seglen that exceed
eth0's ip_skb_dst_mtu.

These skbs are accidentally passed to ip_finish_output2 AS IS.
Alas, each final segment (segmented either by validate_xmit_skb or by
hardware UFO) would be larger than eth0 mtu.
As a result, those above-mtu segments get dropped on certain networks.

This behavior is not aligned with the NON-GSO case:
Assume a non-gso 1500-sized IP packet arrives from tap0. After
encapsulation, the vxlan datagram is fragmented normally at the
ip_finish_output--&gt;ip_fragment code path.

The expected behavior for the GSO case would be segmenting the
"gso-oversized" skb first, then fragmenting each segment according to
dst mtu, and finally passing the resulting fragments to ip_finish_output2.

'ip_finish_output_gso' already supports this "Slowpath" behavior,
according to the IPSKB_FRAG_SEGS flag, which is only set during ipv4
forwarding (not set in the bridged case).

In order to support the bridged case, we'll mark skbs arriving from an
ingress interface that get udp-encaspulated as "allowed to be fragmented",
causing their network_seglen to be validated by 'ip_finish_output_gso'
(and fragment if needed).

Note the TUNNEL_DONT_FRAGMENT tun_flag is still honoured (both in the
gso and non-gso cases), which serves users wishing to forbid
fragmentation at the udp tunnel endpoint.

This flag indicates whether fragmentation of segments is allowed.

Formerly this policy was hardcoded according to IPSKB_FORWARDED (set by
either ip_forward or ipmr_forward).
