      ====================
      net: improve the process of redirect and toobig for ipv6 tunnels
      
      Now let's say there are 3 kinds of icmp packets to process for tunnels,
      toobig(needfrag), redirect, others, their process should be:
      
       - toobig(needfrag)
         update the lower dst's pmtu by route cache, also update sk dst's pmtu
         if possible, or it will be fine if sk dst pmtu will get updated on tx
         path.
      
       - redirect
         update the lower dst's gw by route cache and return, no need to send
         this redirect packet to user sk.
      
       - others
         send the packet to user's sk, or it will also be fine to use err_count
         to count it and report fail link on tx path.
      
      All ipv4 tunnels basically follow this while some of ipv6 tunnels are
      doing in different ways, like ip6gre and ip6_tunnels update tnl dev's
      mtu instead of updating lower dst pmtu, no redirect process on their
      err_handlers, which doesn't make any sense and even causes performance
      problems.
      
      This patchset is to improve the process of redirect and toobig for ip6gre
      ip4ip6, ip6ip6 tunnels, as in ipv4 tunnels.

      ip6_tunnel: clean up ip4ip6 and ip6ip6's err_handlers · 77552cfa
      Xin Long authored
      This patch is to remove some useless codes of redirect and fix some
      indents on ip4ip6 and ip6ip6's err_handlers.
      
      Note that redirect icmp packet is already processed in ip6_tnl_err,
      the old redirect codes in ip4ip6_err actually never worked even
      before this patch. Besides, there's no need to send redirect to
      user's sk, it's for lower dst, so just remove it in this patch.

      The same improvement in "ip6_gre: process toobig in a better way"
      is needed by ip4ip6 and ip6ip6 as well.
      
      Note that ip4ip6 and ip6ip6 will also update sk dst pmtu in their
      err_handlers. Like I said before, gre6 could not do this as it's
      inner proto is not certain. But for all of them, sk dst pmtu will
      be updated in tx path if in need.

      ip6_gre: process toobig in a better way · fe1a4ca0
      Xin Long authored
      Now ip6gre processes toobig icmp packet by setting gre dev's mtu in
      ip6gre_err, which would cause few things not good:
      
        - It couldn't set mtu with dev_set_mtu due to it's not in user context,
          which causes route cache and idev->cnf.mtu6 not to be updated.
      
        - It has to update sk dst pmtu in tx path according to gredev->mtu for
          ip6gre, while it updates pmtu again according to lower dst pmtu in
          ip6_tnl_xmit.
      
        - To change dev->mtu by toobig icmp packet is not a good idea, it should
          only work on pmtu.
      
      This patch is to process toobig by updating the lower dst's pmtu, as later
      sk dst pmtu will be updated in ip6_tnl_xmit, the same way as in ip4gre.
      
      Note that gre dev's mtu will not be updated any more, it doesn't make any
      sense to change dev's mtu after receiving a toobig packet.

      ====================
      Openvswitch meter action
      
      This patch series is the first attempt to add openvswitch
      meter support. We have previously experimented with adding
      metering support in nftables. However 1) It was not clear
      how to expose a named nftables object cleanly, and 2)
      the logic that implements metering is quite small, < 100 lines
      of code.
      
      With those two observations, it seems cleaner to add meter
      support in the openvswitch module directly.

      ====================
      net: dsa: b53: Support prepended Broadcom tags
      
      This patch series adds support for prepended 4-bytes Broadcom tags that we
      already support. This type of tag will typically be used when interfaced to
      a SoC like BCM58xx (NorthStar Plus) which supports a Flow Accelerator (WIP).
      In that case, we need to support a slightly different tagging format.
      
      The first patch does a bit of re-factoring and passes a port index to
      the get_tag_protocol() function since at least two different drivers need
      that type of information (mt7530, b53) to support tagging or not.

      af_netlink: ensure that NLMSG_DONE never fails in dumps · 0642840b
      Jason A. Donenfeld authored
      The way people generally use netlink_dump is that they fill in the skb
      as much as possible, breaking when nla_put returns an error. Then, they
      get called again and start filling out the next skb, and again, and so
      forth. The mechanism at work here is the ability for the iterative
      dumping function to detect when the skb is filled up and not fill it
      past the brim, waiting for a fresh skb for the rest of the data.
      
      However, if the attributes are small and nicely packed, it is possible
      that a dump callback function successfully fills in attributes until the
      skb is of size 4080 (libmnl's default page-sized receive buffer size).
      The dump function completes, satisfied, and then, if it happens to be
      that this is actually the last skb, and no further ones are to be sent,
      then netlink_dump will add on the NLMSG_DONE part:
      
        nlh = nlmsg_put_answer(skb, cb, NLMSG_DONE, sizeof(len), NLM_F_MULTI);
      
      It is very important that netlink_dump does this, of course. However, in
      this example, that call to nlmsg_put_answer will fail, because the
      previous filling by the dump function did not leave it enough room. And
      how could it possibly have done so? All of the nla_put variety of
      functions simply check to see if the skb has enough tailroom,
      independent of the context it is in.
      
      In order to keep the important assumptions of all netlink dump users, it
      is therefore important to give them an skb that has this end part of the
      tail already reserved, so that the call to nlmsg_put_answer does not
      fail. Otherwise, library authors are forced to find some bizarre sized
      receive buffer that has a large modulo relative to the common sizes of
      messages received, which is ugly and buggy.
      
      This patch thus saves the NLMSG_DONE for an additional message, for the
      case that things are dangerously close to the brim. This requires
      keeping track of the errno from ->dump() across calls.

      netem: support delivering packets in delayed time slots · 836af83b
      Dave Taht authored
      Slotting is a crude approximation of the behaviors of shared media such
      as cable, wifi, and LTE, which gather up a bunch of packets within a
      varying delay window and deliver them, relative to that, nearly all at
      once.
      
      It works within the existing loss, duplication, jitter and delay
      parameters of netem. Some amount of inherent latency must be specified,
      regardless.
      
      The new "slot" parameter specifies a minimum and maximum delay between
      transmission attempts.
      
      The "bytes" and "packets" parameters can be used to limit the amount of
      information transferred per slot.
      
      Examples of use:
      
      tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 200us \
               slot 800us 10ms bytes 64k packets 42
      
      A more correct example, using stacked netem instances and a packet limit
      to emulate a tail drop wifi queue with slots and variable packet
      delivery, with a 200Mbit isochronous underlying rate, and 20ms path
      delay:
      
      tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: netem delay 20ms rate 200mbit \
               limit 10000
      tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:1 handle 10:1 netem delay 200us \
               slot 800us 10ms bytes 64k packets 42 limit 512

      netem: add uapi to express delay and jitter in nanoseconds · 99803171
      Dave Taht authored
      netem userspace has long relied on a horrible /proc/net/psched hack
      to translate the current notion of "ticks" to nanoseconds.
      
      Expressing latency and jitter instead, in well defined nanoseconds,
      increases the dynamic range of emulated delays and jitter in netem.
      
      It will also ease a transition where reducing a tick to nsec
      equivalence would constrain the max delay in prior versions of
      netem to only 4.3 seconds.
