      tcp-tso: do not split TSO packets at retransmit time · 10d3be56
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      
Linux TCP stack painfully segments all TSO/GSO packets before retransmits.

This was fine back in the days when TSO/GSO were emerging, with their
bugs, but we believe the dark age is over.

Keeping big packets in write queues, but also in stack traversal
has a lot of benefits.
 - Less memory overhead, because write queues have less skbs
 - Less cpu overhead at ACK processing.
 - Better SACK processing, as lot of studies mentioned how
   awful linux was at this ;)
 - Less cpu overhead to send the rtx packets
   (IP stack traversal, netfilter traversal, drivers...)
 - Better latencies in presence of losses.
 - Smaller spikes in fq like packet schedulers, as retransmits
   are not constrained by TCP Small Queues.

1 % packet losses are common today, and at 100Gbit speeds, this
translates to ~80,000 losses per second.
Losses are often correlated, and we see many retransmit events
leading to 1-MSS train of packets, at the time hosts are already
under stress.

      tipc: fix stale links after re-enabling bearer · 8cee83dd
      Parthasarathy Bhuvaragan authored 
      Commit 42b18f60 ("tipc: refactor function tipc_link_timeout()"),
introduced a bug which prevents sending of probe messages during
link synchronization phase. This leads to hanging links, if the
bearer is disabled/enabled after links are up.

In this commit, we send the probe messages correctly.

Fixes: 42b18f60

====================
tcp: Handle txstamp_ack when fragmenting/coalescing skbs

This patchset is to handle the txstamp-ack bit when
fragmenting/coalescing skbs.

The second patch depends on the recently posted series
for the net branch:
"tcp: Merge timestamp info when coalescing skbs"

A BPF prog is used to kprobe to sock_queue_err_skb()
and print out the value of serr->ee.ee_data.  The BPF
prog (run-able from bcc) is attached here:

BPF prog used for testing:

	struct sock *sk = (struct sock *)ctx->di;
	struct sock_exterr_skb *serr;
	u32 ee_data = 0;

	if (!sk || !skb)
		return 0;

	serr = SKB_EXT_ERR(skb);
	bpf_probe_read(&ee_data, sizeof(ee_data), &serr->ee.ee_data);
	bpf_trace_printk("ee_data:%u\\n", ee_data);

	return 0;
};

      tcp: Carry txstamp_ack in tcp_fragment_tstamp · b51e13fa
      Martin KaFai Lau authored 
      
When a tcp skb is sliced into two smaller skbs (e.g. in
tcp_fragment() and tso_fragment()),  it does not carry
the txstamp_ack bit to the newly created skb if it is needed.
The end result is a timestamping event (SCM_TSTAMP_ACK) will
be missing from the sk->sk_error_queue.

This patch carries this bit to the new skb2
in tcp_fragment_tstamp().

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

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
tree, mostly from Florian Westphal to sort out the lack of sufficient
validation in x_tables and connlabel preparation patches to add
nf_tables support. They are:

1) Ensure we don't go over the ruleset blob boundaries in
   mark_source_chains().

2) Validate that target jumps land on an existing xt_entry. This extra
   sanitization comes with a performance penalty when loading the ruleset.

3) Introduce xt_check_entry_offsets() and use it from {arp,ip,ip6}tables.

4) Get rid of the smallish check_entry() functions in {arp,ip,ip6}tables.

5) Make sure the minimal possible target size in x_tables.

6) Similar to #3, add xt_compat_check_entry_offsets() for compat code.

7) Check that standard target size is valid.

8) More sanitization to ensure that the target_offset field is correct.

9) Add xt_ch...

Goal of this patch is to use the new libnl API to align netlink attribute
when needed.
The layout of the netlink message will be a bit different after the patch,
because the padattr (TASKSTATS_TYPE_STATS) will be inside the nested
attribute instead of before it.
