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

The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for your net-next tree
in this 4.4 development cycle, they are:

1) Schedule ICMP traffic to IPVS instances, this introduces a new schedule_icmp
   proc knob to enable/disable it. By default is off to retain the old
   behaviour. Patchset from Alex Gartrell.

I'm also including what Alex originally said for the record:

"The configuration of ipvs at Facebook is relatively straightforward.  All
ipvs instances bgp advertise a set of VIPs and the network prefers the
nearest one or uses ECMP in the event of a tie.  For the uninitiated, ECMP
deterministically and statelessly load balances by hashing the packet
(usually a 5-tuple of protocol, saddr, daddr, sport, and dport) and using
that number as an index (basic hash table type logic).

The problem is that ICMP packets (which contain really important
information like whether or not an MTU has been exceeded) will get a
different hash value and may end up at a different ipvs instance.  With no
information about where to route these packets, they are dropped, creating
ICMP black holes and breaking Path MTU discovery.  Suddenly, my mom's
pictures can't load and I'm fielding midday calls that I want nothing to do
with.

To address this, this patch set introduces the ability to schedule icmp
packets which is gated by a sysctl net.ipv4.vs.schedule_icmp.  If set to 0,
the old behavior is maintained -- otherwise ICMP packets are scheduled."

2) Add another proc entry to ignore tunneled packets to avoid routing loops
   from IPVS, also from Alex.

3) Fifteen patches from Eric Biederman to:

* Stop passing nf_hook_ops as parameter to the hook and use the state hook
  object instead all around the netfilter code, so only the private data
  pointer is passed to the registered hook function.

* Now that we've got state->net, propagate the netns pointer to netfilter hook
  clients to avoid its computation over and over again. A good example of how
  this has been simplified is the former TEE target (now nf_dup infrastructure)
  since it has killed the ugly pick_net() function.

There's another round of netns updates from Eric Biederman making the line. To
avoid the patchbomb again to almost all the networking mailing list (that is 84
patches) I'd suggest we send you a pull request with no patches or let me know
if you prefer a better way.

Eric Dumazet 43e122b014 tcp: refine pacing rate determination
When TCP pacing was added back in linux-3.12, we chose
to apply a fixed ratio of 200 % against current rate,
to allow probing for optimal throughput even during
slow start phase, where cwnd can be doubled every other gRTT.

At Google, we found it was better applying a different ratio
while in Congestion Avoidance phase.
This ratio was set to 120 %.

We've used the normal tcp_in_slow_start() helper for a while,
then tuned the condition to select the conservative ratio
as soon as cwnd >= ssthresh/2 :

- After cwnd reduction, it is safer to ramp up more slowly,
  as we approach optimal cwnd.
- Initial ramp up (ssthresh == INFINITY) still allows doubling
  cwnd every other RTT.

Scott Feldman dd19f83d6c rocker: hook ndo_neigh_destroy to cleanup neigh refs in driver
Rocker driver tracks arp_tbl neighs to resolve IPv4 route nexthops.  The
driver uses NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE for neigh adds and updates, but there is
no event when the neigh is removed from the device (such as when the device
goes admin down).  This patches hooks ndo_neigh_destroy so the driver can
know when a neigh is removed from the device.  In response, the driver will
purge the neigh entry from its internal tbl.

I didn't find an in-tree users of ndo_neigh_destroy, so I'm not sure if
this ndo is vestigial or if there are out-of-tree users.  In any case, it
does what I need here.  An alternative design would be to generate
NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE event when neigh is being destroyed, setting state to
NUD_NONE so driver knows neigh entry is dead.

Hangbin Liu 8013d1d7ea net/ipv6: add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit
Commit 6fd99094de ("ipv6: Don't reduce hop limit for an interface")
disabled accept hop limit from RA if it is smaller than the current hop
limit for security stuff. But this behavior kind of break the RFC definition.

RFC 4861, 6.3.4.  Processing Received Router Advertisements
   A Router Advertisement field (e.g., Cur Hop Limit, Reachable Time,
   and Retrans Timer) may contain a value denoting that it is
   unspecified.  In such cases, the parameter should be ignored and the
   host should continue using whatever value it is already using.

   If the received Cur Hop Limit value is non-zero, the host SHOULD set
   its CurHopLimit variable to the received value.

So add sysctl option accept_ra_min_hop_limit to let user choose the minimum
hop limit value they can accept from RA. And set default to 1 to meet RFC
standards.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-07-17

This series contains updates to igb, ixgbe, ixgbevf, i40e, bnx2x,
freescale, siena and dp83640.

Jacob provides several patches to clarify the intended way to implement
both SIOCSHWTSTAMP and ethtool's get_ts_info().  It is okay to support
the specific filters in SIOCSHWTSTAMP by upscaling them to the generic
filters.

Alex Duyck provides a igb patch to pull the time stamp from the fragment
before it gets added to the skb, to avoid a possible issue in which the
fragment can possibly be less than IGB_RX_HDR_LEN due to the time stamp
being pulled after the copybreak check.  Also provides a ixgbevf patch to
fold the ixgbevf_pull_tail() call into ixgbevf_add_rx_frag(), which gives
the advantage that the fragment does not have to be modified after it is
added to the skb.

Fan provides patches for ixgbe/ixgbevf to set the receive hash type
based on receive descriptor RSS type.

Todd provides a fix for igb where on check for link on any media other
than copper was not being detected since it was looking on the incorrect
PHY page (due to the page being used gets switched before the function
to check link gets executed).

Tejun Heo e2f15f9a79 netconsole: implement extended console support
printk logbuf keeps various metadata and optional key=value dictionary for
structured messages, both of which are stripped when messages are handed
to regular console drivers.

It can be useful to have this metadata and dictionary available to
netconsole consumers.  This obviously makes logging via netconsole more
complete and the sequence number in particular is useful in environments
where messages may be lost or reordered in transit - e.g.  when netconsole
is used to collect messages in a large cluster where packets may have to
travel congested hops to reach the aggregator.  The lost and reordered
messages can easily be identified and handled accordingly using the
sequence numbers.

printk recently added extended console support which can be selected by
setting CON_EXTENDED flag.  From console driver side, not much changes.
The only difference is that the text passed to the write callback is
formatted the same way as /dev/kmsg.

This patch implements extended console support for netconsole which can be
enabled by either prepending "+" to a netconsole boot param entry or
echoing 1 to "extended" file in configfs.  When enabled, netconsole
transmits extended log messages with headers identical to /dev/kmsg
output.

There's one complication due to message fragments.  netconsole limits the
maximum message size to 1k and messages longer than that are split into
multiple fragments.  As all extended console messages should carry
matching headers and be uniquely identifiable, each extended message
fragment carries full copy of the metadata and an extra header field to
identify the specific fragment.  The optional header is of the form
"ncfrag=OFF/LEN" where OFF is the byte offset into the message body and
LEN is the total length.

To avoid unnecessarily making printk format extended messages, Extended

Scott Feldman b4ad7baa01 bridge: del external_learned fdbs from device on flush or ageout
We need to delete from offload the device externally learnded fdbs when any
one of these events happen:

1) Bridge ages out fdb.  (When bridge is doing ageing vs. device doing
ageing.  If device is doing ageing, it would send SWITCHDEV_FDB_DEL
directly).

2) STP state change flushes fdbs on port.

3) User uses sysfs interface to flush fdbs from bridge or bridge port:

	echo 1 >/sys/class/net/BR_DEV/bridge/flush
	echo 1 >/sys/class/net/BR_PORT/brport/flush

4) Offload driver send event SWITCHDEV_FDB_DEL to delete fdb entry.

For rocker, we can now get called to delete fdb entry in wait and nowait
contexts, so set NOWAIT flag when deleting fdb entry.

Eric Dumazet 07f4c90062 tcp/dccp: try to not exhaust ip_local_port_range in connect()
A long standing problem on busy servers is the tiny available TCP port
range (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range) and the default
sequential allocation of source ports in connect() system call.

If a host is having a lot of active TCP sessions, chances are
very high that all ports are in use by at least one flow,
and subsequent bind(0) attempts fail, or have to scan a big portion of
space to find a slot.

In this patch, I changed the starting point in __inet_hash_connect()
so that we try to favor even [1] ports, leaving odd ports for bind()
users.

We still perform a sequential search, so there is no guarantee, but
if connect() targets are very different, end result is we leave
more ports available to bind(), and we spread them all over the range,
lowering time for both connect() and bind() to find a slot.

This strategy only works well if /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range
is even, ie if start/end values have different parity.

Therefore, default /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range was changed to
32768 - 60999 (instead of 32768 - 61000)

There is no change on security aspects here, only some poor hashing
schemes could be eventually impacted by this change.

[1] : The odd/even property depends on ip_local_port_range values parity

Jesper Dangaard Brouer 282fb58947 pktgen: add sample script pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh
Add the pktgen samples script pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh that
demonstrates generating packets on multiqueue NICs.

Specifically notice the options "-t" that specifies how many
kernel threads to activate.  Also notice the flag QUEUE_MAP_CPU,
which cause the SKB TX queue to be mapped to the CPU running the
kernel thread.  For best scalability people are also encourage to
map NIC IRQ /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity to CPU number.

Usage example with "-t" 4 threads and help:
 ./pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh -i eth4 -m 00:1B:21:3C:9D:F8 -t 4

Usage: ./pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh [-vx] -i ethX
  -i : ($DEV)       output interface/device (required)
  -s : ($PKT_SIZE)  packet size
  -d : ($DEST_IP)   destination IP
  -m : ($DST_MAC)   destination MAC-addr
  -t : ($THREADS)   threads to start
  -c : ($SKB_CLONE) SKB clones send before alloc new SKB
  -b : ($BURST)     HW level bursting of SKBs

Daniel Borkmann 492135557d tcp: add rfc3168, section 6.1.1.1. fallback
This work as a follow-up of commit f7b3bec6f5 ("net: allow setting ecn
via routing table") and adds RFC3168 section 6.1.1.1. fallback for outgoing
ECN connections. In other words, this work adds a retry with a non-ECN
setup SYN packet, as suggested from the RFC on the first timeout:

  [...] A host that receives no reply to an ECN-setup SYN within the
  normal SYN retransmission timeout interval MAY resend the SYN and
  any subsequent SYN retransmissions with CWR and ECE cleared. [...]

Schematic client-side view when assuming the server is in tcp_ecn=2 mode,
that is, Linux default since 2009 via commit 255cac91c3 ("tcp: extend
ECN sysctl to allow server-side only ECN"):

 1) Normal ECN-capable path:

    SYN ECE CWR ----->
                <----- SYN ACK ECE
            ACK ----->

 2) Path with broken middlebox, when client has fallback:

    SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet
                      (timeout, rtx)
            SYN ----->
                <----- SYN ACK
            ACK ----->

In case we would not have the fallback implemented, the middlebox drop
point would basically end up as:

    SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet
                      (timeout, rtx)
    SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet
                      (timeout, rtx)
    SYN ECE CWR ----X crappy middlebox drops packet
                      (timeout, rtx)

In any case, it's rather a smaller percentage of sites where there would
occur such additional setup latency: it was found in end of 2014 that ~56%
of IPv4 and 65% of IPv6 servers of Alexa 1 million list would negotiate
ECN (aka tcp_ecn=2 default), 0.42% of these webservers will fail to connect
when trying to negotiate with ECN (tcp_ecn=1) due to timeouts, which the
fallback would mitigate with a slight latency trade-off. Recent related
paper on this topic:

  Brian Trammell, Mirja Kühlewind, Damiano Boppart, Iain Learmonth,
  Gorry Fairhurst, and Richard Scheffenegger:
    "Enabling Internet-Wide Deployment of Explicit Congestion Notification."
    Proc. PAM 2015, New York.
  http://ecn.ethz.ch/ecn-pam15.pdf

Thus, when net.ipv4.tcp_ecn=1 is being set, the patch will perform RFC3168,
section 6.1.1.1. fallback on timeout. For users explicitly not wanting this
which can be in DC use case, we add a net.ipv4.tcp_ecn_fallback knob that
allows for disabling the fallback.

tp->ecn_flags are not being cleared in tcp_ecn_clear_syn() on output, but
rather we let tcp_ecn_rcv_synack() take that over on input path in case a
SYN ACK ECE was delayed. Thus a spurious SYN retransmission will not prevent
ECN being negotiated eventually in that case.

Florian Westphal e578d9c025 net: sched: use counter to break reclassify loops
Seems all we want here is to avoid endless 'goto reclassify' loop.
tc_classify_compat even resets this counter when something other
than TC_ACT_RECLASSIFY is returned, so this skb-counter doesn't
break hypothetical loops induced by something other than perpetual
TC_ACT_RECLASSIFY return values.

skb_act_clone is now identical to skb_clone, so just use that.

Tested with following (bogus) filter:
tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: \
 protocol ip u32 match u32 0 0 police rate 10Kbit burst \
 64000 mtu 1500 action reclassify

Mahesh Bandewar d22a5fc0c3 bonding: Implement user key part of port_key in an AD system.
The port key has three components - user-key, speed-part, and duplex-part.
The LSBit is for the duplex-part, next 5 bits are for the speed while the
remaining 10 bits are the user defined key bits. Get these 10 bits
from the user-space (through the SysFs interface) and use it to form the
admin port-key. Allowed range for the user-key is 0 - 1023 (10 bits). If
it is not provided then use zero for the user-key-bits (default).

It can set using following example code -

   # modprobe bonding mode=4
   # usr_port_key=$(( RANDOM & 0x3FF ))
   # echo $usr_port_key > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/ad_user_port_key

Mahesh Bandewar 7451495755 bonding: Allow userspace to set actors' macaddr in an AD-system.
In an AD system, the communication between actor and partner is the
business between these two entities. In the current setup anyone on the
same L2 can "guess" the LACPDU contents and then possibly send the
spoofed LACPDUs and trick the partner causing connectivity issues for
the AD system. This patch allows to use a random mac-address obscuring
it's identity making it harder for someone in the L2 is do the same thing.

This patch allows user-space to choose the mac-address for the AD-system.
This mac-address can not be NULL or a Multicast. If the mac-address is set
from user-space; kernel will honor it and will not overwrite it. In the
absence (value from user space); the logic will default to using the
masters' mac as the mac-address for the AD-system.

It can be set using example code below -

   # modprobe bonding mode=4
   # sys_mac_addr=$(printf '%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x' \
                    $(( (RANDOM & 0xFE) | 0x02 )) \
                    $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )) \
                    $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )) \
                    $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )) \
                    $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )) \
                    $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )))
   # echo $sys_mac_addr > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/ad_actor_system

The allowed range is 1 - 0xFFFF while default value is 0xFFFF. If user
does not specify this value, the system defaults to 0xFFFF, which is
what it was before this patch.

Following example code could set the value -
    # modprobe bonding mode=4
    # sys_prio=$(( 1 + RANDOM + RANDOM ))
    # echo $sys_prio > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/ad_actor_sys_prio
    # echo +eth1 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
    ...
    # ip link set bond0 up

Alexei Starovoitov 62f64aed62 pktgen: introduce xmit_mode '<start_xmit|netif_receive>'
Introduce xmit_mode 'netif_receive' for pktgen which generates the
packets using familiar pktgen commands, but feeds them into
netif_receive_skb() instead of ndo_start_xmit().

Default mode is called 'start_xmit'.

It is designed to test netif_receive_skb and ingress qdisc
performace only. Make sure to understand how it works before
using it for other rx benchmarking.

Sample script 'pktgen.sh':
\#!/bin/bash
function pgset() {
  local result

  echo $1 > $PGDEV

  result=`cat $PGDEV | fgrep "Result: OK:"`
  if [ "$result" = "" ]; then
    cat $PGDEV | fgrep Result:
  fi
}

[ -z "$1" ] && echo "Usage: $0 DEV" && exit 1
ETH=$1

PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0
pgset "rem_device_all"
pgset "add_device $ETH"

PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/$ETH
pgset "xmit_mode netif_receive"
pgset "pkt_size 60"
pgset "dst 198.18.0.1"
pgset "dst_mac 90:e2:ba:ff:ff:ff"
pgset "count 10000000"
pgset "burst 32"

PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl
echo "Running... ctrl^C to stop"
pgset "start"
echo "Done"
cat /proc/net/pktgen/$ETH

Usage:
$ sudo ./pktgen.sh eth2
...
Result: OK: 232376(c232372+d3) usec, 10000000 (60byte,0frags)
  43033682pps 20656Mb/sec (20656167360bps) errors: 10000000

Raw netif_receive_skb speed should be ~43 million packet
per second on 3.7Ghz x86 and 'perf report' should look like:
  37.69%  kpktgend_0   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __netif_receive_skb_core
  25.81%  kpktgend_0   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] kfree_skb
   7.22%  kpktgend_0   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] ip_rcv
   5.68%  kpktgend_0   [pktgen]          [k] pktgen_thread_worker

If fib_table_lookup is seen on top, it means skb was processed
by the stack. To benchmark netif_receive_skb only make sure
that 'dst_mac' of your pktgen script is different from
receiving device mac and it will be dropped by ip_rcv

Tom Herbert 82a584b7cd ipv6: Flow label state ranges
This patch divides the IPv6 flow label space into two ranges:
0-7ffff is reserved for flow label manager, 80000-fffff will be
used for creating auto flow labels (per RFC6438). This only affects how
labels are set on transmit, it does not affect receive. This range split
can be disbaled by systcl.

Background:

IPv6 flow labels have been an unmitigated disappointment thus far
in the lifetime of IPv6. Support in HW devices to use them for ECMP
is lacking, and OSes don't turn them on by default. If we had these
we could get much better hashing in IPv6 networks without resorting
to DPI, possibly eliminating some of the motivations to to define new
encaps in UDP just for getting ECMP.

Unfortunately, the initial specfications of IPv6 did not clarify
how they are to be used. There has always been a vague concept that
these can be used for ECMP, flow hashing, etc. and we do now have a
good standard how to this in RFC6438. The problem is that flow labels
can be either stateful or stateless (as in RFC6438), and we are
presented with the possibility that a stateless label may collide
with a stateful one.  Attempts to split the flow label space were
rejected in IETF. When we added support in Linux for RFC6438, we
could not turn on flow labels by default due to this conflict.

This patch splits the flow label space and should give us
a path to enabling auto flow labels by default for all IPv6 packets.
This is an API change so we need to consider compatibility with
existing deployment. The stateful range is chosen to be the lower
values in hopes that most uses would have chosen small numbers.

Once we resolve the stateless/stateful issue, we can proceed to
look at enabling RFC6438 flow labels by default (starting with
scaled testing).

Eric Dumazet a31196b07f net: rfs: fix crash in get_rps_cpus()
Commit 567e4b7973 ("net: rfs: add hash collision detection") had one
mistake :

RPS_NO_CPU is no longer the marker for invalid cpu in set_rps_cpu()
and get_rps_cpu(), as @next_cpu was the result of an AND with
rps_cpu_mask

This bug showed up on a host with 72 cpus :
next_cpu was 0x7f, and the code was trying to access percpu data of an
non existent cpu.

In a follow up patch, we might get rid of compares against nr_cpu_ids,
if we init the tables with 0. This is silly to test for a very unlikely
condition that exists only shortly after table initialization, as
we got rid of rps_reset_sock_flow() and similar functions that were
writing this RPS_NO_CPU magic value at flow dismantle : When table is
old enough, it never contains this value anymore.

Robert Shearman 37bde79979 mpls: Per-device enabling of packet input
An MPLS network is a single trust domain where the edges must be in
control of what labels make their way into the core. The simplest way
of ensuring this is for the edge device to always impose the labels,
and not allow forward labeled traffic from untrusted neighbours. This
is achieved by allowing a per-device configuration of whether MPLS
traffic input from that interface should be processed or not.

To be secure by default, the default state is changed to MPLS being
disabled on all interfaces unless explicitly enabled and no global
option is provided to change the default. Whilst this differs from
other protocols (e.g. IPv6), network operators are used to explicitly
enabling MPLS forwarding on interfaces, and with the number of links
to the MPLS core typically fairly low this doesn't present too much of
a burden on operators.

Oliver Hartkopp a5581ef4c2 can: introduce new raw socket option to join the given CAN filters
The CAN_RAW socket can set multiple CAN identifier specific filters that lead
to multiple filters in the af_can.c filter processing. These filters are
indenpendent from each other which leads to logical OR'ed filters when applied.

This socket option joines the given CAN filters in the way that only CAN frames
are passed to user space that matched *all* given CAN filters. The semantic for
the applied filters is therefore changed to a logical AND.

This is useful especially when the filterset is a combination of filters where
the CAN_INV_FILTER flag is set in order to notch single CAN IDs or CAN ID
ranges from the incoming traffic.

As the raw_rcv() function is executed from NET_RX softirq the introduced
variables are implemented as per-CPU variables to avoid extensive locking at
CAN frame reception time.

mpls even when compiled in and enabled defaults to not forwarding

The other benefit is that as mpls labels are allocated locally a dense

is extremely simple and efficient to implement.

This sysctl allows userspace to choose the restrictions on the label
table size userspace applications need to cope with.

Marcelo Ricardo Leitner d752c36457 ipvs: allow rescheduling of new connections when port reuse is detected
Currently, when TCP/SCTP port reusing happens, IPVS will find the old
entry and use it for the new one, behaving like a forced persistence.
But if you consider a cluster with a heavy load of small connections,
such reuse will happen often and may lead to a not optimal load
balancing and might prevent a new node from getting a fair load.

This patch introduces a new sysctl, conn_reuse_mode, that allows
controlling how to proceed when port reuse is detected. The default
value will allow rescheduling of new connections only if the old entry
was in TIME_WAIT state for TCP or CLOSED for SCTP.

Neal Cardwell 032ee42369 tcp: helpers to mitigate ACK loops by rate-limiting out-of-window dupacks
Helpers for mitigating ACK loops by rate-limiting dupacks sent in
response to incoming out-of-window packets.

This patch includes:

- rate-limiting logic
- sysctl to control how often we allow dupacks to out-of-window packets
- SNMP counter for cases where we rate-limited our dupack sending

The rate-limiting logic in this patch decides to not send dupacks in
response to out-of-window segments if (a) they are SYNs or pure ACKs
and (b) the remote endpoint is sending them faster than the configured
rate limit.

We rate-limit our responses rather than blocking them entirely or
resetting the connection, because legitimate connections can rely on
dupacks in response to some out-of-window segments. For example, zero
window probes are typically sent with a sequence number that is below
the current window, and ZWPs thus expect to thus elicit a dupack in
response.

We allow dupacks in response to TCP segments with data, because these
may be spurious retransmissions for which the remote endpoint wants to
receive DSACKs. This is safe because segments with data can't
realistically be part of ACK loops, which by their nature consist of
each side sending pure/data-less ACKs to each other.

The dupack interval is controlled by a new sysctl knob,
tcp_invalid_ratelimit, given in milliseconds, in case an administrator
needs to dial this upward in the face of a high-rate DoS attack. The
name and units are chosen to be analogous to the existing analogous
knob for ICMP, icmp_ratelimit.

The default value for tcp_invalid_ratelimit is 500ms, which allows at
most one such dupack per 500ms. This is chosen to be 2x faster than
the 1-second minimum RTO interval allowed by RFC 6298 (section 2, rule
2.4). We allow the extra 2x factor because network delay variations
can cause packets sent at 1 second intervals to be compressed and
arrive much closer.

Conflicts:
	drivers/net/vxlan.c
	drivers/vhost/net.c
	include/linux/if_vlan.h
	net/core/dev.c

The net/core/dev.c conflict was the overlap of one commit marking an
existing function static whilst another was adding a new function.

In the include/linux/if_vlan.h case, the type used for a local
variable was changed in 'net', whereas the function got rewritten
to fix a stacked vlan bug in 'net-next'.

In drivers/vhost/net.c, Al Viro's iov_iter conversions in 'net-next'
overlapped with an endainness fix for VHOST 1.0 in 'net'.

In drivers/net/vxlan.c, vxlan_find_vni() added a 'flags' parameter
in 'net-next' whereas in 'net' there was a bug fix to pass in the
correct network namespace pointer in calls to this function.

Willem de Bruijn 49ca0d8bfa net-timestamp: no-payload option
Add timestamping option SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY. For transmit
timestamps, this loops timestamps on top of empty packets.

Doing so reduces the pressure on SO_RCVBUF. Payload inspection and
cmsg reception (aside from timestamps) are no longer possible. This
works together with a follow on patch that allows administrators to
only allow tx timestamping if it does not loop payload or metadata.

Joe Stringer 74ed7ab926 openvswitch: Add support for unique flow IDs.
Previously, flows were manipulated by userspace specifying a full,
unmasked flow key. This adds significant burden onto flow
serialization/deserialization, particularly when dumping flows.

This patch adds an alternative way to refer to flows using a
variable-length "unique flow identifier" (UFID). At flow setup time,
userspace may specify a UFID for a flow, which is stored with the flow
and inserted into a separate table for lookup, in addition to the
standard flow table. Flows created using a UFID must be fetched or
deleted using the UFID.

All flow dump operations may now be made more terse with OVS_UFID_F_*
flags. For example, the OVS_UFID_F_OMIT_KEY flag allows responses to
omit the flow key from a datapath operation if the flow has a
corresponding UFID. This significantly reduces the time spent assembling
and transacting netlink messages. With all OVS_UFID_F_OMIT_* flags
enabled, the datapath only returns the UFID and statistics for each flow
during flow dump, increasing ovs-vswitchd revalidator performance by 40%
or more.

Harout Hedeshian c2943f1453 net: ipv6: Add sysctl entry to disable MTU updates from RA
The kernel forcefully applies MTU values received in router
advertisements provided the new MTU is less than the current. This
behavior is undesirable when the user space is managing the MTU. Instead
a sysctl flag 'accept_ra_mtu' is introduced such that the user space
can control whether or not RA provided MTU updates should be applied. The
default behavior is unchanged; user space must explicitly set this flag
to 0 for RA MTUs to be ignored.

====================
netfilter updates for net-next

The following patchset contains netfilter updates for net-next, just a
bunch of cleanups and small enhancement to selectively flush conntracks
in ctnetlink, more specifically the patches are:

1) Rise default number of buckets in conntrack from 16384 to 65536 in
   systems with >= 4GBytes, patch from Marcelo Leitner.

2) Small refactor to save one level on indentation in xt_osf, from
   Joe Perches.

3) Remove unnecessary sizeof(char) in nf_log, from Fabian Frederick.

4) Another small cleanup to remove redundant variable in nfnetlink,
   from Duan Jiong.

5) Fix compilation warning in nfnetlink_cthelper on parisc, from
   Chen Gang.

6) Fix wrong format in debugging for ctseqadj, from Gao feng.

7) Selective conntrack flushing through the mark for ctnetlink, patch
   from Kristian Evensen.

8) Remove nf_ct_conntrack_flush_report() exported symbol now that is
   not required anymore after the selective flushing patch, again from
   Kristian.

Willem de Bruijn d3b4b26173 doc: fix the compile fix of txtimestamp.c
A fix to ipv6 structure definitions removed the now superfluous
definition of in6_pktinfo in this file.

But, use of the glibc definition requires defining _GNU_SOURCE
(see also https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6775).

Before this change, the following would fail for me:

  make
  make headers_install
  make M=Documentation/networking/timestamping

with

  Documentation/networking/timestamping/txtimestamp.c: In function '__recv_errmsg_cmsg':
  Documentation/networking/timestamping/txtimestamp.c:205:33: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
  Documentation/networking/timestamping/txtimestamp.c:206:23: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

After this patch compilation succeeded.
