to resolve is fairly complex does not make the situation better.

In this commit we try to take a more systematic approach to the
problem. We define a decision machine which takes three state flags
 as input, and produces three action flags as output. We then walk
through all permutations of the state flags, and for each of them we
describe verbally what is going on, plus that we set zero or more of
the action flags. The action flags indicate what should be done once
the decision machine has finished its job, while the last part of the
function deals with performing those actions.

TIPC currently handles two media specific addresses: Ethernet MAC
addresses and InfiniBand addresses. Those are kept in three different
formats:

1) A "raw" format as obtained from the device. This format is known
   only by the media specific adapter code in eth_media.c and
   ib_media.c.
2) A "generic" internal format, in the form of struct tipc_media_addr,
   which can be referenced and passed around by the generic media-
   unaware code.
3) A serialized version of the latter, to be conveyed in neighbor
   discovery messages.

Conversion between the three formats can only be done by the media
specific code, so we have function pointers for this purpose in
struct tipc_media. Here, the media adapters can install their own
conversion functions at startup.

We now introduce a new such function, 'raw2addr()', whose purpose
is to convert from format 1 to format 2 above. We also try to as far
as possible uniform commenting, variable names and usage of these
functions, with the purpose of making them more comprehensible.

We can now also remove the function tipc_l2_media_addr_set(), whose
job is done better by the new function.

Finally, we expand the field for serialized addresses (format 3)
in discovery messages from 20 to 32 bytes. This is permitted
according to the spec, and reduces the risk of problems when we
add new media in the future.

In the current code, all incoming LINK_PROTOCOL messages, irrespective
of type, nudge the "last message received" checkpoint, informing the
link state machine that a message was received from the peer since last
supervision timeout event. This inhibits the link from starting probing
the peer unnecessarily.

However, not only STATE messages are recorded as legitimate incoming
traffic this way, but even RESET and ACTIVATE messages, which in
reality are there to inform the link that the peer endpoint has been
reset. At the same time, some RESET messages may be dropped instead
of causing a link reset. This happens when the link endpoint thinks
it is fully up and working, and the session number of the RESET is
lower than or equal to the current link session. In such cases the
RESET is perceived as a delayed remnant from an earlier session, or
the current one, and dropped.

Now, if a TIPC module is removed and then immediately reinserted, e.g.
when using a script, RESET messages may arrive at the peer link endpoint
before this one has had time to discover the failure. The RESET may be
dropped because of the session number, but only after it has been
recorded as a legitimate traffic event. Hence, the receiving link will
not start probing, and not discover that the peer endpoint is down, at
the same time ignoring the periodic RESET messages coming from that
endpoint. We have ended up in a stale state where a failed link cannot
be re-established.

In this commit, we remedy this by nudging the checkpoint only for
received STATE messages, not for RESET or ACTIVATE messages.

The function net/core/sock.c::__release_sock() runs a tight loop
to move buffers from the socket backlog queue to the receive queue.

As a security measure, sk_backlog.len of the receiving socket
is not set to zero until after the loop is finished, i.e., until
the whole backlog queue has been transferred to the receive queue.
During this transfer, the data that has already been moved is counted
both in the backlog queue and the receive queue, hence giving an
incorrect picture of the available queue space for new arriving buffers.

This leads to unnecessary rejection of buffers by sk_add_backlog(),
which in TIPC leads to unnecessarily broken connections.

In this commit, we compensate for this double accounting by adding
a counter that keeps track of it. The function socket.c::backlog_rcv()
receives buffers one by one from __release_sock(), and adds them to the
socket receive queue. If the transfer is successful, it increases a new
atomic counter 'tipc_sock::dupl_rcvcnt' with 'truesize' of the
transferred buffer. If a new buffer arrives during this transfer and
finds the socket busy (owned), we attempt to add it to the backlog.
However, when sk_add_backlog() is called, we adjust the 'limit'
parameter with the value of the new counter, so that the risk of
inadvertent rejection is eliminated.

It should be noted that this change does not invalidate the original
purpose of zeroing 'sk_backlog.len' after the full transfer. We set an
upper limit for dupl_rcvcnt, so that if a 'wild' sender (i.e., one that
doesn't respect the send window) keeps pumping in buffers to
sk_add_backlog(), he will eventually reach an upper limit,
(2 x TIPC_CONN_OVERLOAD_LIMIT). After that, no messages can be added
to the backlog, and the connection will be broken. Ordinary, well-
behaved senders will never reach this buffer limit at all.

Memory overhead when allocating big buffers for data transfer may
be quite significant. E.g., truesize of a 64 KB buffer turns out
to be 132 KB, 2 x the requested size.

This invalidates the "worst case" calculation we have been
using to determine the default socket receive buffer limit,
which is based on the assumption that 1024x64KB = 67MB buffers
may be queued up on a socket.

Since TIPC connections cannot survive hitting the buffer limit,
we have to compensate for this overhead.

We do that in this commit by dividing the fix connection flow
control window from 1024 (2*512) messages to 512 (2*256). Since
older version nodes send out acks at 512 message intervals,
compatibility with such nodes is guaranteed, although performance
may be non-optimal in such cases.

====================
Make mark-based routing work better with multiple separate networks.

Mark-based routing (ip rule fwmark 17 lookup 100) combined with
either iptables marking (iptables -j MARK --set-mark 17) or
application-based marking (the SO_MARK setsockopt) are a good
way to deal with connecting simultaneously to multiple networks.

Each network can be given a routing table, and ip rules can
be configured to make different fwmarks select different
networks. Applications can select networks them by setting
appropriate socket marks, and iptables rules can be used to
handle non-aware applications, enforce policy, etc.

This patch series improves functionality when mark-based routing
is used in this way. Current behaviour has the following
limitations:

1. Kernel-originated replies that are not associated with a
   socket always use a mark of zero. This means that, for
   example, when the kernel sends a ping reply or a TCP reset,
   it does not send it on the network from which it received the
   original packet.
2. Path MTU discovery, which is triggered by incoming packets,
   does not always work correctly, because the routing lookups it
   uses to clone routes do not take the fwmark into account and
   thus can happen in the wrong routing table.
3. Application-based marking works well for outbound connections,
   but does not work well for incoming connections. Marking a
   listening socket causes that socket to only accept
   connections from a given network, and sockets that are
   returned by accept() are not marked (and are thus not routed
   correctly).

sysctl. This causes route lookups for kernel-generated replies
and PMTUD to use the fwmark of the packet that caused them.

which causes TCP sockets returned by accept() to be marked with
the same mark that sent the intial SYN packet.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When using mark-based routing, sockets returned from accept()
may need to be marked differently depending on the incoming
connection request.

This is the case, for example, if different socket marks identify
different networks: a listening socket may want to accept
connections from all networks, but each connection should be
marked with the network that the request came in on, so that
subsequent packets are sent on the correct network.

This patch adds a sysctl to mark TCP sockets based on the fwmark
of the incoming SYN packet. If enabled, and an unmarked socket
receives a SYN, then the SYN packet's fwmark is written to the
connection's inet_request_sock, and later written back to the
accepted socket when the connection is established.  If the
socket already has a nonzero mark, then the behaviour is the same
as it is today, i.e., the listening socket's fwmark is used.

Black-box tested using user-mode linux:

- IPv4/IPv6 SYN+ACK, FIN, etc. packets are routed based on the
  mark of the incoming SYN packet.
- The socket returned by accept() is marked with the mark of the
  incoming SYN packet.
- Tested with syncookies=1 and syncookies=2.

Currently, routing lookups used for Path PMTU Discovery in
absence of a socket or on unmarked sockets use a mark of 0.
This causes PMTUD not to work when using routing based on
netfilter fwmark mangling and fwmark ip rules, such as:

  iptables -j MARK --set-mark 17
  ip rule add fwmark 17 lookup 100

This patch causes these route lookups to use the fwmark from the
received ICMP error when the fwmark_reflect sysctl is enabled.
This allows the administrator to make PMTUD work by configuring
appropriate fwmark rules to mark the inbound ICMP packets.

Black-box tested using user-mode linux by pointing different
fwmarks at routing tables egressing on different interfaces, and
using iptables mangling to mark packets inbound on each interface
with the interface's fwmark. ICMPv4 and ICMPv6 PMTU discovery
work as expected when mark reflection is enabled and fail when
it is disabled.

This allows an administrator that wishes to do so to use

The NCM class match in the cdc_mbim driver is confusing and
cause unexpected behaviour. The USB core guarantees that a
USB interface is in altsetting 0 when probing starts. This
means that devices implementing a NCM 1.0 backwards
compatible MBIM function (a "NCM/MBIM function") always hit
the NCM entry in the cdc_mbim driver match table. Such
functions will never match any of the MBIM entries.

This causes unexpeced behaviour for cases where the NCM and
MBIM entries are differet, which is currently the case for
all except Ericsson devices.

Improve the probing of NCM/MBIM functions by looking up the
device again in the cdc_mbim match table after switching to
the MBIM identity.

The shared altsetting selection is updated to better
accommodate the new probing logic, returning the preferred
altsetting for the control interface instead of the data
interface. The control interface altsetting update is moved
to the cdc_mbim driver. It is never necessary to change the
control interface altsetting for NCM.

The cdc_mbim driver maps 802.1q VLANs to MBIM IP and DSS
sessions. MBIM IP session 0 is handled as an exception and
is mapped to untagged frames.

This patch adds optional support for remapping MBIM IP
session 0 to 802.1q VLAN ID 4094 instead. The default
behaviour is not changed. The new behaviour is triggered
by adding a link for this previously unsupported VLAN.

The untagged mapping was chosen initially to support the
assumed most common use case: Most current MBIM devices only
support a single IP session (i.e. session 0 only), and using
untagged frames lets the users completely ignore the
additonal complexity of the multiplexing layer.

But when the multiplexing features of MBIM are used, then
this netdev gets a double meaning: It becomes the master
interface for all the VLAN subdevs the additional sessions
are mapped to, while still serving as the untagged IP
interface for session 0.

This can be problematic, especially when using Device Service
Streams (DSS), as have become apparent recently with the
availability of devices with real DSS support. Some use cases
need to e.g set a MTU which is higher than allowed for IP
Session 0. The dual role also leads to the situation where
the IP Session 0 interface cannot be taken down without
breaking unrelated IP or DSS sessions - a devastating side
effect which applications managing a simple IP session cannot
be expected to be aware of. A typical DHCP client will assume
that it should bring the interface down after releasing the
IP lease.

These problems can be avoided by tagging IP session 0 packets
too, making this session similar to all other multiplexed
sessions. This redefines the main netdev as an upper master
interface only.
