Current probe_size is chosen by doubling mss_cache,
the probing process will end shortly with a sub-optimal
mss size, and the link mtu will not be taken full
advantage of, in return, this will make user to tweak
tcp_base_mss with care.
Use binary search to choose probe_size in a fine
granularity manner, an optimal mss will be found
to boost performance as its maxmium.
In addition, introduce a sysctl_tcp_probe_threshold
to control when probing will stop in respect to
the width of search range.

Other users users of the neighbour table use neigh->output as the method
to decided when and which link-layer header to place on a packet.
DECnet has been using neigh->output to decide which DECnet headers to
place on a packet depending which neighbour the packet is destined for.
The DECnet usage isn't totally wrong but it can run into problems if the
neighbour output function is run for a second time as the teql driver
and the bridge netfilter code can do.
Therefore to avoid pathologic problems later down the line and make the
neighbour code easier to understand by refactoring the decnet output
code to only use a neighbour method to add a link layer header to a
packet.
This is done by moving the neigbhour operations lookup from
dn_to_neigh_output to dn_neigh_output_packet.

Call into the switchdev driver any time an IPv4 fib entry is
added/modified/deleted from the kernel's FIB. The switchdev driver may or
may not install the route to the offload device. In the case where the
driver tries to install the route and something goes wrong (device's routing
table is full, etc), then all of the offloaded routes will be flushed from the
device, route forwarding falls back to the kernel, and no more routes are
offloading.
We can refine this logic later. For now, use the simplist model of offloading
routes up to the point of failure, and then on failure, undo everything and
mark IPv4 offloading disabled.

Flesh out ndo wrappers to call into device driver. To call into device driver,
the wrapper must interate over route's nexthops to ensure all nexthop devs
belong to the same switch device. Currently, there is no support for route's
nexthops spanning offloaded and non-offloaded devices, or spanning ports of
multiple offload devices.
Since switch device ports may be stacked under virtual interfaces (bonds and/or
bridges), and the route's nexthop may be on the virtual interface, the wrapper
will traverse the nexthop dev down to the base dev. It's the base dev that's
passed to the switchdev driver's ndo ops.

Netfilter/IPVS fixes for net
The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS fixes for your net tree,
they are:
1) Don't truncate ethernet protocol type to u8 in nft_compat, from
Arturo Borrero.
2) Fix several problems in the addition/deletion of elements in nf_tables.
3) Fix module refcount leak in ip_vs_sync, from Julian Anastasov.
4) Fix a race condition in the abort path in the nf_tables transaction
infrastructure. Basically aborted rules can show up as active rules
until changes are unrolled, oneliner from Patrick McHardy.
5) Check for overflows in the data area of the rule, also from Patrick.
6) Fix off-by-one in the per-rule user data size field. This introduces
a new nft_userdata structure that is placed at the beginning of the
user data area that contains the length to save some bits from the
rule and we only need one bit to indicate its presence, from Patrick.
7) Fix rule replacement error path, the replaced rule is deleted on
error instead of leaving it in place. This has been fixed by relying
on the abort path to undo the incomplete replacement.

This extends the design in commit 958501163d ("bridge: Add support for
IEEE 802.11 Proxy ARP") with optional set of rules that are needed to
meet the IEEE 802.11 and Hotspot 2.0 requirements for ProxyARP. The
previously added BR_PROXYARP behavior is left as-is and a new
BR_PROXYARP_WIFI alternative is added so that this behavior can be
configured from user space when required.
In addition, this enables proxyarp functionality for unicast ARP
requests for both BR_PROXYARP and BR_PROXYARP_WIFI since it is possible
to use unicast as well as broadcast for these frames.
The key differences in functionality:
BR_PROXYARP:
- uses the flag on the bridge port on which the request frame was
received to determine whether to reply
- block bridge port flooding completely on ports that enable proxy ARP
BR_PROXYARP_WIFI:
- uses the flag on the bridge port to which the target device of the
request belongs
- block bridge port flooding selectively based on whether the proxyarp
functionality replied

I have also updated it from doing a mask to just doing a compare as I have

In addition I addressed one minor issue in which we kept computing the key

1. For an IPv4 ping socket, ping_check_bind_addr does not check
the family of the socket address that's passed in. Instead,
make it behave like inet_bind, which enforces either that the
address family is AF_INET, or that the family is AF_UNSPEC and
the address is 0.0.0.0.
2. For an IPv6 ping socket, ping_check_bind_addr returns EINVAL
if the socket family is not AF_INET6. Return EAFNOSUPPORT
instead, for consistency with inet6_bind.
3. Make ping_v4_sendmsg and ping_v6_sendmsg return EAFNOSUPPORT
instead of EINVAL if an incorrect socket address structure is
passed in.
4. Make IPv6 ping sockets be IPv6-only. The code does not support
IPv4, and it cannot easily be made to support IPv4 because
the protocol numbers for ICMP and ICMPv6 are different. This
makes connect(::ffff:192.0.2.1) fail with EAFNOSUPPORT instead
of making the socket unusable.
Among other things, this fixes an oops that can be triggered by:
int s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_ICMP);

.sin6_family = AF_INET6,
.sin6_addr = in6addr_any,
};

A race condition exists in the rule transaction code for rules that
get added and removed within the same transaction.
The new rule starts out as inactive in the current and active in the
next generation and is inserted into the ruleset. When it is deleted,
it is additionally set to inactive in the next generation as well.
On commit the next generation is begun, then the actions are finalized.
For the new rule this would mean clearing out the inactive bit for
the previously current, now next generation.
However nft_rule_clear() clears out the bits for *both* generations,
activating the rule in the current generation, where it should be
deactivated due to being deleted. The rule will thus be active until
the deletion is finalized, removing the rule from the ruleset.
Similarly, when aborting a transaction for the same case, the undo
of insertion will remove it from the RCU protected rule list, the
deletion will clear out all bits. However until the next RCU
synchronization after all operations have been undone, the rule is
active on CPUs which can still see the rule on the list.
Generally, there may never be any modifications of the current
generations' inactive bit since this defeats the entire purpose of
atomicity. Change nft_rule_clear() to only touch the next generations
bit to fix this.

This change adds two new netlink routing attributes:
RTA_VIA and RTA_NEWDST.
RTA_VIA specifies the specifies the next machine to send a packet to
like RTA_GATEWAY. RTA_VIA differs from RTA_GATEWAY in that it
includes the address family of the address of the next machine to send
a packet to. Currently the MPLS code supports addresses in AF_INET,
AF_INET6 and AF_PACKET. For AF_INET and AF_INET6 the destination mac
address is acquired from the neighbour table. For AF_PACKET the
destination mac_address is specified in the netlink configuration.
I think raw destination mac address support with the family AF_PACKET
will prove useful. There is MPLS-TP which is defined to operate
on machines that do not support internet packets of any flavor. Further
seem to be corner cases where it can be useful. At this point
I don't care much either way.
RTA_NEWDST specifies the destination address to forward the packet
with. MPLS typically changes it's destination address at every hop.
For a swap operation RTA_NEWDST is specified with a length of one label.
For a push operation RTA_NEWDST is specified with two or more labels.
For a pop operation RTA_NEWDST is not specified or equivalently an emtpy
RTAN_NEWDST is specified.
Those new netlink attributes are used to implement handling of rt-netlink
RTM_NEWROUTE, RTM_DELROUTE, and RTM_GETROUTE messages, to maintain the
MPLS label table.
rtm_to_route_config parses a netlink RTM_NEWROUTE or RTM_DELROUTE message,
verify no unhandled attributes or unhandled values are present and sets
up the data structures for mpls_route_add and mpls_route_del.
I did my best to match up with the existing conventions with the caveats
that MPLS addresses are all destination-specific-addresses, and so
don't properly have a scope.

Reading and writing addresses in network byte order in netlink is
traditional and I see no reason to change that. MPLS is interesting
as effectively it has variabely length addresses (the MPLS label
stack). To represent these variable length addresses in netlink
I use a valid MPLS label stack (complete with stop bit).
This achieves two things: a well defined existing format is used,
and the data can be interpreted without looking at it's length.
Not needed to look at the length to decode the variable length
network representation allows existing userspace functions
such as inet_ntop to be used without needed to change their
prototype.

mpls_route_add and mpls_route_del implement the basic logic for adding
and removing Next Hop Label Forwarding Entries from the MPLS input
label map. The addition and subtraction is done in a way that is
consistent with how the existing routing table in Linux are
maintained. Thus all of the work to deal with NLM_F_APPEND,
NLM_F_EXCL, NLM_F_REPLACE, and NLM_F_CREATE.
Cases that are not clearly defined such as changing the interpretation
of the mpls reserved labels is not allowed.
Because it seems like the right thing to do adding an MPLS route without
specifying an input label and allowing the kernel to pick a free label
table entry is supported. The implementation is currently less than optimal
but that can be changed.
As I don't have anything else to test with only ethernet and the loopback
device are the only two device types currently supported for forwarding
MPLS over.

This sysctl gives two benefits. By defaulting the table size to 0
mpls even when compiled in and enabled defaults to not forwarding
any packets. This prevents unpleasant surprises for users.
The other benefit is that as mpls labels are allocated locally a dense
table a small dense label table may be used which saves memory and
is extremely simple and efficient to implement.
This sysctl allows userspace to choose the restrictions on the label
table size userspace applications need to cope with.
