Long ago we set out to remove the kitchen sink on kernel/sysctl.c arrays and
placings sysctls to their own sybsystem or file to help avoid merge conflicts.
Matthew Wilcox pointed out though that if we're going to do that we might as
well also *save* space while at it and try to remove the extra last sysctl
entry added at the end of each array, a sentintel, instead of bloating the
kernel by adding a new sentinel with each array moved.
Doing that was not so trivial, and has required slowing down the moves of
kernel/sysctl.c arrays and measuring the impact on size by each new move.
The complex part of the effort to help reduce the size of each sysctl is being
done by the patient work of el señor Don Joel Granados. A lot of this is truly
painful code refactoring and testing and then trying to measure the savings of
each move and removing the sentinels. Although Joel already has code which does
most of this work, experience with sysctl moves in the past shows is we need to
be careful due to the slew of odd build failures that are possible due to the
amount of random Kconfig options sysctls use.
To that end Joel's work is split by first addressing the major housekeeping
needed to remove the sentinels, which is part of this merge request. The rest
of the work to actually remove the sentinels will be done later in future
kernel releases.
At first I was only going to send his first 7 patches of his patch series,
posted 1 month ago, but in retrospect due to the testing the changes have
received in linux-next and the minor changes they make this goes with the
entire set of patches Joel had planned: just sysctl house keeping. There are
networking changes but these are part of the house keeping too.
The preliminary math is showing this will all help reduce the overall build
time size of the kernel and run time memory consumed by the kernel by about
~64 bytes per array where we are able to remove each sentinel in the future.
That also means there is no more bloating the kernel with the extra ~64 bytes
per array moved as no new sentinels are created.
Most of this has been in linux-next for about a month, the last 7 patches took
a minor refresh 2 week ago based on feedback.

Move from register_net_sysctl to register_net_sysctl_sz for all the
networking related files. Do this while making sure to mirror the NULL
assignments with a table_size of zero for the unprivileged users.
We need to move to the new function in preparation for when we change
SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE() in the register_net_sysctl macro. Failing to do
so would erroneously allow ARRAY_SIZE() to be called on a pointer. We
hold off the SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE change until we have migrated all
the relevant net sysctl registering functions to register_net_sysctl_sz
in subsequent commits.
An additional size function was added to the following files in order to
calculate the size of an array that is defined in another file:
include/net/ipv6.h
net/ipv6/icmp.c
net/ipv6/route.c
net/ipv6/sysctl_net_ipv6.c

The msk can use backup subflows to transmit in-sequence data
only if there are no other active subflow. On active backup
scenario, the MPTCP connection can do forward progress only
due to MPTCP retransmissions - rtx can pick backup subflows.
This patch introduces a new flag flow MPTCP subflows: if the
underlying TCP connection made no progresses for long time,
and there are other less problematic subflows available, the
given subflow become stale.
Stale subflows are not considered active: if all non backup
subflows become stale, the MPTCP scheduler can pick backup
subflows for plain transmissions.
Stale subflows can return in active state, as soon as any reply
from the peer is observed.
Active backup scenarios can now leverage the available b/w
with no restrinction.

To avoid confusions, it seems better to parse this sysctl parameter as a
boolean. We use it as a boolean, no need to parse an integer and bring
confusions if we see a value different from 0 and 1, especially with
this parameter name: enabled.
It seems fine to do this modification because the default value is 1
(enabled). Then the only other interesting value to set is 0 (disabled).
All other values would not have changed the default behaviour.

Since the introduction of the sysctl support in MPTCP with
commit 784325e9f0 ("mptcp: new sysctl to control the activation per NS"),
we don't check CONFIG_SYSCTL.
Until now, that was not an issue: the register and unregister functions
were replaced by NO-OP one if SYSCTL was not enabled in the config. The
only thing we could have avoid is not to reserve memory for the table
but that's for the moment only a small table per net-ns.
But the following commit is going to use SYSCTL_ZERO and SYSCTL_ONE
which are not be defined if SYSCTL is not enabled in the config. This
causes 'undefined reference' errors from the linker.

JOIN requests do not work in syncookie mode -- for HMAC validation, the
peers nonce and the mptcp token (to obtain the desired connection socket
the join is for) are required, but this information is only present in the
initial syn.
So either we need to drop all JOIN requests once a listening socket enters
syncookie mode, or we need to store enough state to reconstruct the request
socket later.
This adds a state table (1024 entries) to store the data present in the
MP_JOIN syn request and the random nonce used for the cookie syn/ack.
When a MP_JOIN ACK passed cookie validation, the table is consulted
to rebuild the request socket from it.
An alternate approach would be to "cancel" syn-cookie mode and force
MP_JOIN to always use a syn queue entry.
However, doing so brings the backlog over the configured queue limit.
v2: use req->syncookie, not (removed) want_cookie arg

New MPTCP sockets will return -ENOPROTOOPT if MPTCP support is disabled
for the current net namespace.
We are providing here a way to control access to the feature for those
that need to turn it on or off.
The value of this new sysctl can be different per namespace. We can then
restrict the usage of MPTCP to the selected NS. In case of serious
issues with MPTCP, administrators can now easily turn MPTCP off.
