Move from register_net_sysctl to register_net_sysctl_sz for all the
networking related files. Do this while making sure to mirror the NULL
assignments with a table_size of zero for the unprivileged users.

We need to move to the new function in preparation for when we change
SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE() in the register_net_sysctl macro. Failing to do
so would erroneously allow ARRAY_SIZE() to be called on a pointer. We
hold off the SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE change until we have migrated all
the relevant net sysctl registering functions to register_net_sysctl_sz
in subsequent commits.

An additional size function was added to the following files in order to
calculate the size of an array that is defined in another file:
    include/net/ipv6.h
    net/ipv6/icmp.c
    net/ipv6/route.c
    net/ipv6/sysctl_net_ipv6.c

<title>sctp: sysctl: make extra pointers netns aware</title>

Recently, a customer reported that from their container whose
net namespace is different to the host's init_net, they can't set
the container's net.sctp.rto_max to any value smaller than
init_net.sctp.rto_min.

For instance,
Host:
sudo sysctl net.sctp.rto_min
net.sctp.rto_min = 1000

Container:
echo 100 &gt; /mnt/proc-net/sctp/rto_min
echo 400 &gt; /mnt/proc-net/sctp/rto_max
echo: write error: Invalid argument

This is caused by the check made from this'commit 4f3fdf3bc59c
("sctp: add check rto_min and rto_max in sysctl")'
When validating the input value, it's always referring the boundary
value set for the init_net namespace.

Having container's rto_max smaller than host's init_net.sctp.rto_min
does make sense. Consider that the rto between two containers on the
same host is very likely smaller than it for two hosts.

So to fix this problem, as suggested by Marcelo, this patch makes the
extra pointers of rto_min, rto_max, pf_retrans, and ps_retrans point
to the corresponding variables from the newly created net namespace while
the new net namespace is being registered in sctp_sysctl_net_register.

PLPMTUD can be enabled by doing 'sysctl -w net.sctp.probe_interval=n'.
'n' is the interval for PLPMTUD probe timer in milliseconds, and it
can't be less than 5000 if it's not 0.

All asoc/transport's PLPMTUD in a new socket will be enabled by default.

This patch is to enable udp tunneling socks by calling
sctp_udp_sock_start() in sctp_ctrlsock_init(), and
sctp_udp_sock_stop() in sctp_ctrlsock_exit().

Also add sysctl udp_port to allow changing the listening
sock's port by users.

Wit this patch, the whole sctp over udp feature can be
enabled and used.

v1-&gt;v2:
  - Also update ctl_sock udp_port in proc_sctp_do_udp_port()
    where netns udp_port gets changed.
v2-&gt;v3:
  - Call htons() when setting sk udp_port from netns udp_port.
v3-&gt;v4:
  - Not call sctp_udp_sock_start() when new_value is 0.
  - Add udp_port entry in ip-sysctl.rst.
v4-&gt;v5:
  - Not call sctp_udp_sock_start/stop() in sctp_ctrlsock_init/exit().
  - Improve the description of udp_port in ip-sysctl.rst.

encap_port is added as per netns/sock/assoc/transport, and the
latter one's encap_port inherits the former one's by default.
The transport's encap_port value would mostly decide if one
packet should go out with udp encapsulated or not.

This patch also allows users to set netns' encap_port by sysctl.

v1-&gt;v2:
  - Change to define encap_port as __be16 for sctp_sock, asoc and
    transport.
v2-&gt;v3:
  - No change.
v3-&gt;v4:
  - Add 'encap_port' entry in ip-sysctl.rst.
v4-&gt;v5:
  - Improve the description of encap_port in ip-sysctl.rst.

Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which
is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and
from  userspace in common code.  This also means that the strings are
always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit
safer.

As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.

<title>sctp: add support for Primary Path Switchover</title>

<id>34515e94c92c3f593cd696abca8609246cbd75e6</id>
<content type='text'>
This is a new feature defined in section 5 of rfc7829: "Primary Path
Switchover". By introducing a new tunable parameter:

  Primary.Switchover.Max.Retrans (PSMR)

The primary path will be changed to another active path when the path
error counter on the old primary path exceeds PSMR, so that "the SCTP
sender is allowed to continue data transmission on a new working path
even when the old primary destination address becomes active again".

This patch is to add this tunable parameter, 'ps_retrans' per netns,
sock, asoc and transport. It also allows a user to change ps_retrans
per netns by sysctl, and ps_retrans per sock/asoc/transport will be
initialized with it.

The check will be done in sctp_do_8_2_transport_strike() when this
feature is enabled.

Note this feature is disabled by initializing 'ps_retrans' per netns
as 0xffff by default, and its value can't be less than 'pf_retrans'
when changing by sysctl.

v3-&gt;v4:
  - add define SCTP_PS_RETRANS_MAX 0xffff, and use it on extra2 of
    sysctl 'ps_retrans'.
  - add a new entry for ps_retrans on ip-sysctl.txt.

As said in rfc7829, section 3, point 12:

  The SCTP stack SHOULD expose the PF state of its destination
  addresses to the ULP as well as provide the means to notify the
  ULP of state transitions of its destination addresses from
  active to PF, and vice versa.  However, it is recommended that
  an SCTP stack implementing SCTP-PF also allows for the ULP to be
  kept ignorant of the PF state of its destinations and the
  associated state transitions, thus allowing for retention of the
  simpler state transition model of [RFC4960] in the ULP.

Not only does it allow to expose the PF state to ULP, but also
allow to ignore sctp-pf to ULP.

So this patch is to add pf_expose per netns, sock and asoc. And in
sctp_assoc_control_transport(), ulp_notify will be set to false if
asoc-&gt;expose is not 'enabled' in next patch.

It also allows a user to change pf_expose per netns by sysctl, and
pf_expose per sock and asoc will be initialized with it.

Note that pf_expose also works for SCTP_GET_PEER_ADDR_INFO sockopt,
to not allow a user to query the state of a sctp-pf peer address
when pf_expose is 'disabled', as said in section 7.3.

v1-&gt;v2:
  - Fix a build warning noticed by Nathan Chancellor.
v2-&gt;v3:
  - set pf_expose to UNUSED by default to keep compatible with old
    applications.
v3-&gt;v4:
  - add a new entry for pf_expose on ip-sysctl.txt, as Marcelo suggested.
  - change this patch to 1/5, and move sctp_assoc_control_transport
    change into 2/5, as Marcelo suggested.
  - use SCTP_PF_EXPOSE_UNSET instead of SCTP_PF_EXPOSE_UNUSED, and
    set SCTP_PF_EXPOSE_UNSET to 0 in enum, as Marcelo suggested.

As said in rfc7829, section 3, point 12:

  The SCTP stack SHOULD expose the PF state of its destination
  addresses to the ULP as well as provide the means to notify the
  ULP of state transitions of its destination addresses from
  active to PF, and vice versa.  However, it is recommended that
  an SCTP stack implementing SCTP-PF also allows for the ULP to be
  kept ignorant of the PF state of its destinations and the
  associated state transitions, thus allowing for retention of the
  simpler state transition model of [RFC4960] in the ULP.

Not only does it allow to expose the PF state to ULP, but also
allow to ignore sctp-pf to ULP.

sctp_assoc_control_transport(), ulp_notify will be set to false if
asoc-&gt;expose is not 'enabled' in next patch.
