__ip_options_echo() uses the current network namespace, and
currently retrives it via skb->dst->dev.
This commit adds an explicit 'net' argument to __ip_options_echo()
and update all the call sites to provide it, usually via a simpler
sock_net().
After this change, __ip_options_echo() no more needs to access
skb->dst and we can drop a couple of hack to preserve such
info in the rx path.

While computing the response option set for LSRR, ip_options_echo()
also changes the ingress packet LSRR addresses list, setting
the last one to the dst specific address for the ingress packet
- via memset(start[ ...
The only visible effect of such change - beyond possibly damaging
shared/cloned skbs - is modifying the data carried by ICMP replies
changing the header information for reported the ingress packet,
which violates RFC1122 3.2.2.6.
All the others call sites just ignore the ingress packet IP options
after calling ip_options_echo()
Note that the last element in the LSRR option address list for the
reply packet will be properly set later in the ip output path
via ip_options_build().
This buggy memset() predates git history and apparently was present
into the initial ip_options_echo() implementation in linux 1.3.30 but
still looks wrong.
The removal of the fib_compute_spec_dst() call will help
completely dropping the skb->dst usage by __ip_options_echo() with a
later patch.

====================
socket sendmsg MSG_ZEROCOPY
Introduce zerocopy socket send flag MSG_ZEROCOPY. This extends the
shared page support (SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG) from sendpage to sendmsg.
Implement the feature for TCP initially, as large writes benefit
most.
On a send call with MSG_ZEROCOPY, the kernel pins user pages and
links these directly into the skbuff frags[] array.
Each send call with MSG_ZEROCOPY that transmits data will eventually
queue a completion notification on the error queue: a per-socket u32
incremented on each such call. A request may have to revert to copy
to succeed, for instance when a device cannot support scatter-gather
IO. In that case a flag is passed along to notify that the operation
succeeded without zerocopy optimization.
The implementation extends the existing zerocopy infra for tuntap,
vhost and xen with features needed for TCP, notably reference
counting to handle cloning on retransmit and GSO.
For more details, see also the netdev 2.1 paper and presentation at
https://netdevconf.org/2.1/session.html?debruijn

RFC -> RFCv2:
- review comment: do not loop skb with zerocopy frags onto rx:
add skb_orphan_frags_rx to orphan even refcounted frags
call this in __netif_receive_skb_core, deliver_skb and tun:
same as commit 1080e512d4 ("net: orphan frags on receive")
- fix: hold an explicit sk reference on each notification skb.
previously relied on the reference (or wmem) held by the
data skb that would trigger notification, but this breaks
on skb_orphan.
- fix: when aborting a send, do not inc the zerocopy counter
this caused gaps in the notification chain
- fix: in packet with SOCK_DGRAM, pull ll headers before calling
zerocopy_sg_from_iter
- fix: if sock_zerocopy_realloc does not allow coalescing,
do not fail, just allocate a new ubuf
- fix: in tcp, check return value of second allocation attempt
- chg: allocate notification skbs from optmem
to avoid affecting tcp write queue accounting (TSQ)
- chg: limit #locked pages (ulimit) per user instead of per process
- chg: grow notification ids from 16 to 32 bit
- pass range [lo, hi] through 32 bit fields ee_info and ee_data
- chg: rebased to davem-net-next on top of v4.10-rc7
- add: limit notification coalescing
sharing ubufs limits overhead, but delays notification until
the last packet is released, possibly unbounded. Add a cap.
- tests: add snd_zerocopy_lo pf_packet test
- tests: two bugfixes (add do_flush_tcp, ++sent not only in debug)
Limitations / Known Issues:
- TCP may build slightly smaller than max TSO packets due to
exceeding MAX_SKB_FRAGS frags when zerocopy pages are unaligned.
- All SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG may require additional __skb_linearize or
skb_copy_ubufs calls in u32, skb_find_text, similar to
skb_checksum_help.
Notification skbuffs are allocated from optmem. For sockets that
cannot effectively coalesce notifications, the optmem max may need
to be increased to avoid hitting -ENOBUFS:
sysctl -w net.core.optmem_max=1048576
In application load, copy avoidance shows a roughly 5% systemwide
reduction in cycles when streaming large flows and a 4-8% reduction in
wall clock time on early tensorflow test workloads.
For the single-machine veth tests to succeed, loopback support has to
be temporarily enabled by making skb_orphan_frags_rx map to
skb_orphan_frags.
* Performance
The below table shows cycles reported by perf for a netperf process
sending a single 10 Gbps TCP_STREAM. The first three columns show
Mcycles spent in the netperf process context. The second three columns
show time spent systemwide (-a -C A,B) on the two cpus that run the
process and interrupt handler. Reported is the median of at least 3
runs. std is a standard netperf, zc uses zerocopy and % is the ratio.
Netperf is pinned to cpu 2, network interrupts to cpu3, rps and rfs
are disabled and the kernel is booted with idle=halt.

* Safety
The number of pages that can be pinned on behalf of a user with
MSG_ZEROCOPY is bound by the locked memory ulimit.
While the kernel holds process memory pinned, a process cannot safely
reuse those pages for other purposes. Packets looped onto the receive
stack and queued to a socket can be held indefinitely. Avoid unbounded
notification latency by restricting user pages to egress paths only.
skb_orphan_frags_rx() will create a private copy of pages even for
refcounted packets when these are looped, as did skb_orphan_frags for
the original tun zerocopy implementation.
Pages are not remapped read-only. Processes can modify packet contents
while packets are in flight in the kernel path. Bytes on which kernel
control flow depends (headers) are copied to avoid TOCTTOU attacks.
Datapath integrity does not otherwise depend on payload, with three
exceptions: checksums, optional sk_filter/tc u32/.. and device +
driver logic. The effect of wrong checksums is limited to the
misbehaving process. TC filters that access contents may have to be
excluded by adding an skb_orphan_frags_rx.
Processes can also safely avoid OOM conditions by bounding the number
of bytes passed with MSG_ZEROCOPY and by removing shared pages after
transmission from their own memory map.

Enable support for MSG_ZEROCOPY to the TCP stack. TSO and GSO are

copying. Packets looped onto a local destination have their payload
copied to avoid unbounded latency.
Tested:
A 10x TCP_STREAM between two hosts showed a reduction in netserver
process cycles by up to 70%, depending on packet size. Systemwide,
savings are of course much less pronounced, at up to 20% best case.
msg_zerocopy.sh 4 tcp:
without zerocopy
tx=121792 (7600 MB) txc=0 zc=n

tx=286257 (17863 MB) txc=286257 zc=y
rx=140022 (17863 MB)
This test opens a pair of sockets over veth, one one calls send with
64KB and optionally MSG_ZEROCOPY and on the other reads the initial
bytes. The receiver truncates, so this is strictly an upper bound on
what is achievable. It is more representative of sending data out of
a physical NIC (when payload is not touched, either).

In the simple case, each sendmsg() call generates data and eventually
a zerocopy ready notification N, where N indicates the Nth successful
invocation of sendmsg() with the MSG_ZEROCOPY flag on this socket.
TCP and corked sockets can cause send() calls to append new data to an
existing sk_buff and, thus, ubuf_info. In that case the notification
must hold a range. odify ubuf_info to store a inclusive range [N..N+m]
and add skb_zerocopy_realloc() to optionally extend an existing range.
Also coalesce notifications in this common case: if a notification
[1, 1] is about to be queued while [0, 0] is the queue tail, just modify
the head of the queue to read [0, 1].
Coalescing is limited to a few TSO frames worth of data to bound
notification latency.

Prepare the datapath for refcounted ubuf_info. Clone ubuf_info with
skb_zerocopy_clone() wherever needed due to skb split, merge, resize
or clone.
Split skb_orphan_frags into two variants. The split, merge, .. paths
support reference counted zerocopy buffers, so do not do a deep copy.
Add skb_orphan_frags_rx for paths that may loop packets to receive
sockets. That is not allowed, as it may cause unbounded latency.
Deep copy all zerocopy copy buffers, ref-counted or not, in this path.
The exact locations to modify were chosen by exhaustively searching
through all code that might modify skb_frag references and/or the
the SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY tx_flags bit.
The changes err on the safe side, in two ways.
(1) legacy ubuf_info paths virtio and tap are not modified. They keep
a 1:1 ubuf_info to sk_buff relationship. Calls to skb_orphan_frags
still call skb_copy_ubufs and thus copy frags in this case.
(2) not all copies deep in the stack are addressed yet. skb_shift,
skb_split and skb_try_coalesce can be refined to avoid copying.
These are not in the hot path and this patch is hairy enough as
is, so that is left for future refinement.

Instead, fill all destination pages but the last to PAGE_SIZE.

====================
mlxsw: Support for IPv6 UC router
Ido says:
This set adds support for IPv6 unicast routes offload. The first four
patches make the FIB notification chain generic so that it could be used
by address families other than IPv4. This is done by having each address
family register its callbacks with the common code, so that its FIB tables
and rules could be dumped upon registration to the chain, while ensuring
the integrity of the dump. The exact mechanics are explained in detail in
the first patch.
The next six patches build upon this work and add the necessary callbacks
in IPv6 code. This allows listeners of the chain to receive notifications
about IPv6 routes addition, deletion and replacement as well as FIB rules
notifications.
Unlike user space notifications for IPv6 multipath routes, the FIB
notification chain notifies these on a per-nexthop basis. This allows
us to keep the common code lean and is also unnecessary, as notifications
are serialized by each table's lock whereas applications maintaining
netlink caches may suffer from concurrent dumps and deletions / additions
of routes.
The next five patches audit the different code paths reading the route's
reference count (rt6i_ref) and remove assumptions regarding its meaning.
This is needed since non-FIB users need to be able to hold a reference on
the route and a non-zero reference count no longer means the route is in
the FIB.
The last six patches enable the mlxsw driver to offload IPv6 unicast
routes to the Spectrum ASIC. Without resorting to ACLs, lookup is done
solely based on the destination IP, so the abort mechanism is invoked
upon the addition of source-specific routes.
Follow-up patch sets will increase the scale of gatewayed routes by
consolidating identical nexthop groups to one adjacency entry in the
device's adjacency table (as in IPv4), as well as add support for
NH_{ADD,DEL} events which enable support for the
'ignore_routes_with_linkdown' sysctl.
Changes in v2:
* Provide offload indication for individual nexthops (David Ahern).
* Use existing route reference count instead of adding another one.
This resulted in several new patches to remove assumptions regarding
current semantics of the existing reference count (David Ahern).
* Add helpers to allow non-FIB users to take a reference on route.
* Remove use of tb6_lock in mlxsw (David Ahern).
* Add IPv6 dependency to mlxsw.

Without resorting to ACLs, the device performs route lookup solely based
on the destination IP address.
In case source-specific routing is needed, an error is returned and the
abort mechanism is activated, thus allowing the kernel to take over
forwarding decisions.
Instead of aborting, we can trap specific destination prefixes where
source-specific routes are present, but this will result in a lot more
code that is unlikely to ever be used.

In case we got a replace event, then the replaced route must exist. If
the route isn't capable of multipath, then replace first matching
non-multipath capable route.
If the route is capable of multipath and matching multipath capable
route is found, then replace it. Otherwise, replace first matching
non-multipath capable route.
The new route is inserted before the replaced one. In case the replaced
route is currently offloaded, then it's overwritten in the device's table
by the new route and later deleted, thus not impacting routed traffic.

Allow directly connected and remote unicast IPv6 routes to be programmed
to the device's tables.
As with IPv4, identical routes - sharing the same destination prefix -
are ordered in a FIB node according to their table ID and then the
metric. While the kernel doesn't share the same trie for the local and
main table, this does happen in the device, so ordering according to
table ID is needed.
Since individual nexthops can be added and deleted in IPv6, each FIB
entry stores a linked list of the rt6_info structs it represents. Upon
the addition or deletion of a nexthop, a new nexthop group is allocated
according to the new configuration and the old one is destroyed.
Identical groups aren't currently consolidated, but will be in a
follow-up patchset.

We only allow FIB offload in the presence of default rules or an l3mdev
rule. In a similar fashion to IPv4 FIB rules, sanitize IPv6 rules.

The FIB notification block currently only handles IPv4 events, but we
want to start handling IPv6 events soon, so lay the groundwork now.
Do that by preparing the work item and process it according to the
notified address family.

Similar to commit 1c677b3d28 ("ipv4: fib: Add fib_info_hold() helper")
and commit b423cb1080 ("ipv4: fib: Export free_fib_info()") add an
helper to hold a reference on rt6_info and export rt6_release() to drop
it and potentially release the route.
This is needed so that drivers capable of FIB offload could hold a
reference on the route before queueing it for offload and drop it after
the route has been programmed to the device's tables.

When an interface is brought back up, the kernel tries to restore the
host routes tied to its permanent addresses.
However, if the host route was removed from the FIB, then we need to
reinsert it. This is done by releasing the current dst and allocating a
new, so as to not reuse a dst with obsolete values.
Since this function is called under RTNL and using the same explanation
from the previous patch, we can test if the route is in the FIB by
checking its node pointer instead of its reference count.
Tested using the following script and Andrey's reproducer mentioned
in commit 8048ced9be ("net: ipv6: regenerate host route if moved to gc
list") and linked below:
$ ip link set dev lo up
$ ip link add dummy1 type dummy
$ ip -6 address add cafe::1/64 dev dummy1
$ ip link set dev lo down # cafe::1/128 is removed
$ ip link set dev dummy1 up
$ ip link set dev lo up
The host route is correctly regenerated.

When the loopback device is brought back up we need to check if the host
route attached to the address is still in the FIB and regenerate one in
case it's not.
Host routes using the loopback device are always inserted into and
removed from the FIB under RTNL (under which this function is called),
so we can test their node pointer instead of the reference count in
order to check if the route is in the FIB or not.
Tested using the following script from Nicolas mentioned in
commit a220445f9f ("ipv6: correctly add local routes when lo goes up"):
$ ip link add dummy1 type dummy
$ ip link set dummy1 up
$ ip link set lo down ; ip link set lo up
The host route is correctly regenerated.

When a route is deleted its node pointer is set to NULL to indicate it's
no longer linked to its node. Do the same for routes that are replaced.
This will later allow us to test if a route is still in the FIB by
checking its node pointer instead of its reference count.
