Pull networking updates from David Millar:
 "Here are some highlights from the 2065 networking commits that
  happened this development cycle:

   1) XDP support for IXGBE (John Fastabend) and thunderx (Sunil Kowuri)

   2) Add a generic XDP driver, so that anyone can test XDP even if they
      lack a networking device whose driver has explicit XDP support
      (me).

   3) Sparc64 now has an eBPF JIT too (me)

   4) Add a BPF program testing framework via BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN (Alexei
      Starovoitov)

   5) Make netfitler network namespace teardown less expensive (Florian
      Westphal)

   6) Add symmetric hashing support to nft_hash (Laura Garcia Liebana)

   7) Implement NAPI and GRO in netvsc driver (Stephen Hemminger)

   8) Support TC flower offload statistics in mlxsw (Arkadi Sharshevsky)

   9) Multiqueue support in stmmac driver (Joao Pinto)

  10) Remove TCP timewait recycling, it never really could possibly work
      well in the real world and timestamp randomization really zaps any
      hint of usability this feature had (Soheil Hassas Yeganeh)

  11) Support level3 vs level4 ECMP route hashing in ipv4 (Nikolay
      Aleksandrov)

  12) Add socket busy poll support to epoll (Sridhar Samudrala)

  13) Netlink extended ACK support (Johannes Berg, Pablo Neira Ayuso,
      and several others)

  14) IPSEC hw offload infrastructure (Steffen Klassert)"

<title>skbuff: Extend gso_type to unsigned int.</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=7f564528a480084e2318cd48caba7aef4a54a77f'/>
<id>urn:sha1:7f564528a480084e2318cd48caba7aef4a54a77f</id>
<content type='text'>
All available gso_type flags are currently in use, so
extend gso_type from 'unsigned short' to 'unsigned int'
to be able to add further flags.

We reorder the struct skb_shared_info to use
two bytes of the four byte hole before dataref.
All fields before dataref are cleared, i.e.
four bytes more than before the change.

The remaining two byte hole is moved to the
beginning of the structure, this protects us
from immediate overwites on out of bound writes
to the sk_buff head.

Structure layout on x86-64 before the change:

struct skb_shared_info {
	unsigned char              nr_frags;             /*     0     1 */
	__u8                       tx_flags;             /*     1     1 */
	short unsigned int         gso_size;             /*     2     2 */
	short unsigned int         gso_segs;             /*     4     2 */
	short unsigned int         gso_type;             /*     6     2 */
	struct sk_buff *           frag_list;            /*     8     8 */
	struct skb_shared_hwtstamps hwtstamps;           /*    16     8 */
	u32                        tskey;                /*    24     4 */
	__be32                     ip6_frag_id;          /*    28     4 */
	atomic_t                   dataref;              /*    32     4 */

	/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

	void *                     destructor_arg;       /*    40     8 */
	skb_frag_t                 frags[17];            /*    48   272 */
	/* --- cacheline 5 boundary (320 bytes) --- */

	/* size: 320, cachelines: 5, members: 12 */
	/* sum members: 316, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
};

Structure layout on x86-64 after the change:

	short unsigned int         gso_segs;             /*     6     2 */

We are going to split &lt;linux/sched/clock.h&gt; out of &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder &lt;linux/sched/clock.h&gt; file that just
maps to &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

Add new skbuff flag to allow protocols to confirm neighbour.
When same struct dst_entry can be used for many different
neighbours we can not use it for pending confirmations.

Add sock_confirm_neigh() helper to confirm the neighbour and
use it for IPv4, IPv6 and VRF before dst_neigh_output.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
Netfilter updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
tree, they are:

1) Stash ctinfo 3-bit field into pointer to nf_conntrack object from
   sk_buff so we only access one single cacheline in the conntrack
   hotpath. Patchset from Florian Westphal.

2) Don't leak pointer to internal structures when exporting x_tables
   ruleset back to userspace, from Willem DeBruijn. This includes new
   helper functions to copy data to userspace such as xt_data_to_user()
   as well as conversions of our ip_tables, ip6_tables and arp_tables
   clients to use it. Not surprinsingly, ebtables requires an ad-hoc
   update. There is also a new field in x_tables extensions to indicate
   the amount of bytes that we copy to userspace.

3) Add nf_log_all_netns sysctl: This new knob allows you to enable
   logging via nf_log infrastructure for all existing netnamespaces.
   Given the effort to provide pernet syslog has been discontinued,
   let's provide a way to restore logging using netfilter kernel logging
   facilities in trusted environments. Patch from Michal Kubecek.

4) Validate SCTP checksum from conntrack helper, from Davide Caratti.

5) Merge UDPlite conntrack and NAT helpers into UDP, this was mostly
   a copy&amp;paste from the original helper, from Florian Westphal.

6) Reset netfilter state when duplicating packets, also from Florian.

7) Remove unnecessary check for broadcast in IPv6 in pkttype match and
   nft_meta, from Liping Zhang.

8) Add missing code to deal with loopback packets from nft_meta when
   used by the netdev family, also from Liping.

9) Several cleanups on nf_tables, one to remove unnecessary check from
   the netlink control plane path to add table, set and stateful objects
   and code consolidation when unregister chain hooks, from Gao Feng.

10) Fix harmless reference counter underflow in IPVS that, however,
    results in problems with the introduction of the new refcount_t
    type, from David Windsor.

11) Enable LIBCRC32C from nf_ct_sctp instead of nf_nat_sctp,
    from Davide Caratti.

12) Missing documentation on nf_tables uapi header, from Liping Zhang.

13) Use rb_entry() helper in xt_connlimit, from Geliang Tang.

<content type='text'>
After this change conntrack operations (lookup, creation, matching from
ruleset) only access one instead of two sk_buff cache lines.

This works for normal conntracks because those are allocated from a slab
that guarantees hw cacheline or 8byte alignment (whatever is larger)
so the 3 bits needed for ctinfo won't overlap with nf_conn addresses.

Template allocation now does manual address alignment (see previous change)
on arches that don't have sufficent kmalloc min alignment.

Some spots intentionally use skb-&gt;_nfct instead of skb_nfct() helpers,
this is to avoid undoing the skb_nfct() use when we remove untracked
conntrack object in the future.
