tipc: simplify group LEAVE sequence
After the changes in the previous commit the group LEAVE sequence
can be simplified.
We now let the arrival of a LEAVE message unconditionally issue a group
DOWN event to the user. When a topology WITHDRAW event is received, the
member, if it still there, is set to state LEAVING, but we only issue a
group DOWN event when the link to the peer node is gone, so that no
LEAVE message is to be expected.

tipc: create group member event messages when they are needed
In the current implementation, a group socket receiving topology
events about other members just converts the topology event message
into a group event message and stores it until it reaches the right
state to issue it to the user. This complicates the code unnecessarily,
and becomes impractical when we in the coming commits will need to
create and issue membership events independently.
In this commit, we change this so that we just notice the type and
origin of the incoming topology event, and then drop the buffer. Only
when it is time to actually send a group event to the user do we
explicitly create a new message and send it upwards.

tipc: let group member stay in JOINED mode if unable to reclaim
We handle a corner case in the function tipc_group_update_rcv_win().
During extreme pessure it might happen that a message receiver has all
its active senders in RECLAIMING or REMITTED mode, meaning that there
is nobody to reclaim advertisements from if an additional sender tries
to go active.
Currently we just set the new sender to ACTIVE anyway, hence at least
theoretically opening up for a receiver queue overflow by exceeding the
MAX_ACTIVE limit. The correct solution to this is to instead add the
member to the pending queue, while letting the oldest member in that
queue revert to JOINED state.
In this commit we refactor the code for handling message arrival from
a JOINED member, both to make it more comprehensible and to cover the
case described above.

This patchset by Jenny adds sanity checks in ethtool ringparam
operation for input upper bounds, similarly to what's done in
ethtool_set_channels.
The checks are added in patch 1, using a call to get_ringparam
prior to calling set_ringparam NDO.
Patch 2 changes the function's behavior in mlx4_en, so that
it returns an error for out-of-range input, instead of rounding
it to closest valid, similar to mlx5e.
Patch 3 removes the upper bound checks in mlx5e_ethtool_set_ringparam
as it becomes redundant.

1) Free hooks via call_rcu to speed up netns release path, from
Florian Westphal.
2) Reduce memory footprint of hook arrays, skip allocation if family is
not present - useful in case decnet support is not compiled built-in.
Patches from Florian Westphal.
3) Remove defensive check for malformed IPv4 - including ihl field - and
IPv6 headers in x_tables and nf_tables.
4) Add generic flow table offload infrastructure for nf_tables, this
includes the netlink control plane and support for IPv4, IPv6 and
mixed IPv4/IPv6 dataplanes. This comes with NAT support too. This
patchset adds the IPS_OFFLOAD conntrack status bit to indicate that
this flow has been offloaded.
5) Add secpath matching support for nf_tables, from Florian.
6) Save some code bytes in the fast path for the nf_tables netdev,
bridge and inet families.
7) Allow one single NAT hook per point and do not allow to register NAT
hooks in nf_tables before the conntrack hook, patches from Florian.
8) Seven patches to remove the struct nf_af_info abstraction, instead
we perform direct calls for IPv4 which is faster. IPv6 indirections
are still needed to avoid dependencies with the 'ipv6' module, but
these now reside in struct nf_ipv6_ops.
9) Seven patches to handle NFPROTO_INET from the Netfilter core,
hence we can remove specific code in nf_tables to handle this
pseudofamily.
10) No need for synchronize_net() call for nf_queue after conversion
to hook arrays. Also from Florian.
11) Call cond_resched_rcu() when dumping large sets in ipset to avoid
softlockup. Again from Florian.
12) Pass lockdep_nfnl_is_held() to rcu_dereference_protected(), patch
from Florian Westphal.
13) Fix matching of counters in ipset, from Jozsef Kadlecsik.
14) Missing nfnl lock protection in the ip_set_net_exit path, also
from Jozsef.
15) Move connlimit code that we can reuse from nf_tables into
nf_conncount, from Florian Westhal.
And asorted cleanups:
16) Get rid of nft_dereference(), it only has one single caller.
17) Add nft_set_is_anonymous() helper function.
18) Remove NF_ARP_FORWARD leftover chain definition in nf_tables_arp.
19) Remove unnecessary comments in nf_conntrack_h323_asn1.c
From Varsha Rao.
20) Remove useless parameters in frag_safe_skb_hp(), from Gao Feng.
21) Constify layer 4 conntrack protocol definitions, function
parameters to register/unregister these protocol trackers, and
timeouts. Patches from Florian Westphal.
22) Remove nlattr_size indirection, from Florian Westphal.
23) Add fall-through comments as -Wimplicit-fallthrough needs this,

24) Use swap() macro to exchange values in ipset, patch from

sctp: fix the handling of ICMP Frag Needed for too small MTUs
syzbot reported a hang involving SCTP, on which it kept flooding dmesg
with the message:
[ 246.742374] sctp: sctp_transport_update_pmtu: Reported pmtu 508 too
low, using default minimum of 512
That happened because whenever SCTP hits an ICMP Frag Needed, it tries
to adjust to the new MTU and triggers an immediate retransmission. But
it didn't consider the fact that MTUs smaller than the SCTP minimum MTU
allowed (512) would not cause the PMTU to change, and issued the
retransmission anyway (thus leading to another ICMP Frag Needed, and so
on).
As IPv4 (ip_rt_min_pmtu=556) and IPv6 (IPV6_MIN_MTU=1280) minimum MTU
are higher than that, sctp_transport_update_pmtu() is changed to
re-fetch the PMTU that got set after our request, and with that, detect
if there was an actual change or not.
The fix, thus, skips the immediate retransmission if the received ICMP
resulted in no change, in the hope that SCTP will select another path.
Note: The value being used for the minimum MTU (512,
SCTP_DEFAULT_MINSEGMENT) is not right and instead it should be (576,
SCTP_MIN_PMTU), but such change belongs to another patch.
Changes from v1:
- do not disable PMTU discovery, in the light of commit 06ad391919b2 ("[SCTP] Don't disable PMTU discovery when mtu is small")
and as suggested by Xin Long.
- changed the way to break the rtx loop by detecting if the icmp

sctp: do not retransmit upon FragNeeded if PMTU discovery is disabled
Currently, if PMTU discovery is disabled on a given transport, but the
configured value is higher than the actual PMTU, it is likely that we
will get some icmp Frag Needed. The issue is, if PMTU discovery is
disabled, we won't update the information and will issue a
retransmission immediately, which may very well trigger another ICMP,
and another retransmission, leading to a loop.
The fix is to simply not trigger immediate retransmissions if PMTU
discovery is disabled on the given transport.

bnxt_en: Fix the 'Invalid VF' id check in bnxt_vf_ndo_prep routine.
In bnxt_vf_ndo_prep (which is called by bnxt_get_vf_config ndo), there is a
check for "Invalid VF id". Currently, the check is done against max_vfs.
However, the user doesn't always create max_vfs. So, the check should be
against the created number of VFs. The number of bnxt_vf_info structures
that are allocated in bnxt_alloc_vf_resources routine is the "number of
requested VFs". So, if an "invalid VF id" falls between the requested
number of VFs and the max_vfs, the driver will be dereferencing an invalid
pointer.

This series introduces the MAPv4 packet format for checksum
offload plus some other minor changes.
Patches 1-3 are cleanups.
Patch 4 renames the ingress format to data format so that all data
formats can be configured using this going forward.
Patch 5 uses the pacing helper to improve TCP transmit performance.
Patch 6-9 defines the the MAPv4 for checksum offload for RX and TX.
A new header and trailer format are used as part of MAPv4.
For RX checksum offload, only the 1's complement of the IP payload
portion is computed by hardware. The meta data from RX header is
used to verify the checksum field in the packet. Note that the
IP packet and its field itself is not modified by hardware.
This gives metadata to help with the RX checksum. For TX, the
required metadata is filled up so hardware can compute the
checksum.

net: qualcomm: rmnet: Add support for RX checksum offload
When using the MAPv4 packet format, receive checksum offload can be
enabled in hardware. The checksum computation over pseudo header is
not offloaded but the rest of the checksum computation over
the payload is offloaded. This applies only for TCP / UDP packets
which are not fragmented.
rmnet validates the TCP/UDP checksum for the packet using the checksum
from the checksum trailer added to the packet by hardware. The
validation performed is as following -
1. Perform 1's complement over the checksum value from the trailer
2. Compute 1's complement checksum over IPv4 / IPv6 header and
subtracts it from the value from step 1
3. Computes 1's complement checksum over IPv4 / IPv6 pseudo header and
adds it to the value from step 2
4. Subtracts the checksum value from the TCP / UDP header from the
value from step 3.
5. Compares the value from step 4 to the checksum value from the
TCP / UDP header.
6. If the comparison in step 5 succeeds, CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY is set
and the packet is passed on to network stack. If there is a
failure, then the packet is passed on as such without modifying
the ip_summed field.
The checksum field is also checked for UDP checksum 0 as per RFC 768
and for unexpected TCP checksum of 0.
If checksum offload is disabled when using MAPv4 packet format in
receive path, the packet is queued as is to network stack without
the validations above.

net: qualcomm: rmnet: Define the MAPv4 packet formats
The MAPv4 packet format adds support for RX / TX checksum offload.
For a bi-directional UDP stream at a rate of 570 / 146 Mbps, roughly
10% CPU cycles are saved.
For receive path, there is a checksum trailer appended to the end of
the MAP packet. The valid field indicates if hardware has computed
the checksum. csum_start_offset indicates the offset from the start
of the IP header from which hardware has computed checksum.
csum_length is the number of bytes over which the checksum was
computed and the resulting value is csum_value.
In the transmit path, a header is appended between the end of the MAP
header and the start of the IP packet. csum_start_offset is the offset
in bytes from which hardware will compute the checksum if the
csum_enabled bit is set. udp_ip4_ind indicates if the checksum
value of 0 is valid or not. csum_insert_offset is the offset from the
csum_start_offset where hardware will insert the computed checksum.
The use of this additional packet format for checksum offload is
explained in subsequent patches.

Calling acpi_wmi_init() at the subsys_initcall() level causes ordering
issues to appear on some systems and they are difficult to reproduce,
because there is no guaranteed ordering between subsys_initcall()
calls, so they may occur in different orders on different systems.
In particular, commit 86d9f48534e8 (mm/slab: fix kmemcg cache
creation delayed issue) exposed one of these issues where genl_init()
and acpi_wmi_init() are both called at the same initcall level, but
the former must run before the latter so as to avoid a NULL pointer
dereference.
For this reason, move the acpi_wmi_init() invocation to the
initcall_sync level which should still be early enough for things
to work correctly in the WMI land.

2) If there's a hit, decrement ttl and pass it on to the neighbour layer
for transmission.
3) If there's a miss, packet is passed up to the classic forwarding
path.

The timer of such conntrack entries look like stopped from userspace.
In practise, to make sure the conntrack entry does not go away, the
conntrack timer is periodically set to an arbitrary large value that
gets refreshed on every iteration from the garbage collector, so it
never expires- and they display no internal state in the case of TCP
flows. This allows us to save a bitcheck from the packet path via
nf_ct_is_expired().
Conntrack entries that have been offloaded to the flow table
infrastructure cannot be deleted/flushed via ctnetlink. The flow table
infrastructure is also responsible for releasing this conntrack entry.

netfilter: remove defensive check on malformed packets from raw sockets
Users cannot forge malformed IPv4/IPv6 headers via raw sockets that they
can inject into the stack. Specifically, not for IPv4 since 55888dfb6ba7
("AF_RAW: Augment raw_send_hdrinc to expand skb to fit iphdr->ihl

IPv6 header available in the skbuff.
At quick glance, br_netfilter also validates layer 3 headers and it
drops malformed both IPv4 and IPv6 packets.
Therefore, let's remove this defensive check all over the place.
