Michal Sekletar added in commit ea02f9411d ("net: introduce
SO_BPF_EXTENSIONS") a facility where user space can enquire
the BPF ancillary instruction set, which is imho a step into
the right direction for letting user space high-level to BPF
optimizers make an informed decision for possibly using these
extensions.
The original rationale was to return through a getsockopt(2)
a bitfield of which instructions are supported and which
are not, as of right now, we just return 0 to indicate a
base support for SKF_AD_PROTOCOL up to SKF_AD_PAY_OFFSET.
Limitations of this approach are that this API which we need
to maintain for a long time can only support a maximum of 32
extensions, and needs to be additionally maintained/updated
when each new extension that comes in.
I thought about this a bit more and what we can do here to
overcome this is to just return SKF_AD_MAX. Since we never
remove any extension since we cannot break user space and
always linearly increase SKF_AD_MAX on each newly added
extension, user space can make a decision on what extensions
are supported in the whole set of extensions and which aren't,
by just checking which of them from the whole set have an
offset < SKF_AD_MAX of the underlying kernel.
Since SKF_AD_MAX must be updated each time we add new ones,
we don't need to introduce an additional enum and got
maintenance for free. At some point in time when
SO_BPF_EXTENSIONS becomes ubiquitous for most kernels, then
an application can simply make use of this and easily be run
on newer or older underlying kernels without needing to be
recompiled, of course. Since that is for 3.14, it's not too
late to do this change.

sctp: remove some macro locking wrappers
In sctp.h we can find some macro locking wrappers. As Neil point out that:
"Its because in the origional implementation of the sctp protocol, there was a
user space test harness which built the kernel module for userspace execution to
cary our some unit testing on the code. It did so by redefining some of those
locking macros to user space friendly code. IIRC we haven't use those unit
tests in years, and so should be removing them, not adding them to other
locations."
So I remove them.

net: Add GRO support for UDP encapsulating protocols
This series adds GRO handlers for protocols that do UDP encapsulation, with the
intent of being able to coalesce packets which encapsulate packets belonging to
the same TCP session.
For GRO purposes, the destination UDP port takes the role of the ether type
field in the ethernet header or the next protocol in the IP header.
The UDP GRO handler will only attempt to coalesce packets whose destination
port is registered to have gro handler.
The patches done against net-next 75e4364f67 "net: stmmac: fix NULL pointer
dereference in stmmac_get_tx_hwtstamp"
Or.
v4 --> v5 changes:
- followed Eric's directives to avoid using atomic get/put ops on the
udp gro receive and complete callbacks and instead keep the rcu_read_lock
when calling the next handler on the chain.
v3 --> v4 changes:
- applied feedback from Tom on some micro-optimizations that save
branches and goto directives in the udp gro logic
- applied feedback from Eric on correct RCU programming for the
add/remove flow of the upper protocols udp gro handlers
v2 --> v3 changes:
- moved to use linked list to store the udp gro handlers, this solves the
problem of consuming 512KB of memory for the handlers.
- use a mark on the skb GRO CB data to disallow running the udp gro_receive twice
on a packet, this solves the problem of udp encapsulated packets whose inner VM
packet is udp and happen to carry a port which has registered offloads - and flush it.
- invoke the udp offload protocol registration and de-registration from the vxlan driver
in a sleepable context

As release_stripe and __release_stripe decrement ->count and then
manipulate ->lru both under ->device_lock, it is important that
get_active_stripe() increments ->count and clears ->lru also under
->device_lock.
However we currently list_del_init ->lru under the lock, but increment
the ->count outside the lock. This can lead to races and list
corruption.
So move the atomic_inc(&sh->count) up inside the ->device_lock
protected region.
Note that we still increment ->count without device lock in the case
where get_free_stripe() was called, and in fact don't take
->device_lock at all in that path.
This is safe because if the stripe_head can be found by
get_free_stripe, then the hash lock assures us the no-one else could
possibly be calling release_stripe() at the same time.

__GFP_NOFAIL may return NULL when coupled with GFP_NOWAIT or GFP_ATOMIC.
Luckily, nothing currently does such craziness. So instead of causing
such allocations to loop (potentially forever), we maintain the current
behavior and also warn about the new users of the deprecated flag.

Compaction used to start its migrate and free page scaners at the zone's
lowest and highest pfn, respectively. Later, caching was introduced to
remember the scanners' progress across compaction attempts so that
pageblocks are not re-scanned uselessly. Additionally, pageblocks where
isolation failed are marked to be quickly skipped when encountered again
in future compactions.
Currently, both the reset of cached pfn's and clearing of the pageblock
skip information for a zone is done in __reset_isolation_suitable().
This function gets called when:
- compaction is restarting after being deferred
- compact_blockskip_flush flag is set in compact_finished() when the scanners
meet (and not again cleared when direct compaction succeeds in allocation)
and kswapd acts upon this flag before going to sleep
This behavior is suboptimal for several reasons:
- when direct sync compaction is called after async compaction fails (in the
allocation slowpath), it will effectively do nothing, unless kswapd
happens to process the compact_blockskip_flush flag meanwhile. This is racy
and goes against the purpose of sync compaction to more thoroughly retry
the compaction of a zone where async compaction has failed.
The restart-after-deferring path cannot help here as deferring happens only
after the sync compaction fails. It is also done only for the preferred
zone, while the compaction might be done for a fallback zone.
- the mechanism of marking pageblock to be skipped has little value since the
cached pfn's are reset only together with the pageblock skip flags. This
effectively limits pageblock skip usage to parallel compactions.
This patch changes compact_finished() so that cached pfn's are reset
immediately when the scanners meet. Clearing pageblock skip flags is
unchanged, as well as the other situations where cached pfn's are reset.
This allows the sync-after-async compaction to retry pageblocks not
marked as skipped, such as blocks !MIGRATE_MOVABLE blocks that async
compactions now skips without marking them.

Compaction temporarily marks pageblocks where it fails to isolate pages
as to-be-skipped in further compactions, in order to improve efficiency.
One of the reasons to fail isolating pages is that isolation is not
attempted in pageblocks that are not of MIGRATE_MOVABLE (or CMA) type.
The problem is that blocks skipped due to not being MIGRATE_MOVABLE in
async compaction become skipped due to the temporary mark also in future
sync compaction. Moreover, this may follow quite soon during
__alloc_page_slowpath, without much time for kswapd to clear the
pageblock skip marks. This goes against the idea that sync compaction
should try to scan these blocks more thoroughly than the async
compaction.
The fix is to ensure in async compaction that these !MIGRATE_MOVABLE
blocks are not marked to be skipped. Note this should not affect
performance or locking impact of further async compactions, as skipping
a block due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE is done soon after skipping a
block marked to be skipped, both without locking.

Compaction of a zone is finished when the migrate scanner (which begins
at the zone's lowest pfn) meets the free page scanner (which begins at
the zone's highest pfn). This is detected in compact_zone() and in the
case of direct compaction, the compact_blockskip_flush flag is set so
that kswapd later resets the cached scanner pfn's, and a new compaction
may again start at the zone's borders.
The meeting of the scanners can happen during either scanner's activity.
However, it may currently fail to be detected when it occurs in the free
page scanner, due to two problems. First, isolate_freepages() keeps
free_pfn at the highest block where it isolated pages from, for the
purposes of not missing the pages that are returned back to allocator
when migration fails. Second, failing to isolate enough free pages due
to scanners meeting results in -ENOMEM being returned by
migrate_pages(), which makes compact_zone() bail out immediately without
calling compact_finished() that would detect scanners meeting.
This failure to detect scanners meeting might result in repeated
attempts at compaction of a zone that keep starting from the cached
pfn's close to the meeting point, and quickly failing through the
-ENOMEM path, without the cached pfns being reset, over and over. This
has been observed (through additional tracepoints) in the third phase of
the mmtests stress-highalloc benchmark, where the allocator runs on an
otherwise idle system. The problem was observed in the DMA32 zone,
which was used as a fallback to the preferred Normal zone, but on the
4GB system it was actually the largest zone. The problem is even
amplified for such fallback zone - the deferred compaction logic, which
could (after being fixed by a previous patch) reset the cached scanner
pfn's, is only applied to the preferred zone and not for the fallbacks.
The problem in the third phase of the benchmark was further amplified by
commit 81c0a2bb51 ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") which
resulted in a non-deterministic regression of the allocation success
rate from ~85% to ~65%. This occurs in about half of benchmark runs,
making bisection problematic. It is unlikely that the commit itself is
buggy, but it should put more pressure on the DMA32 zone during phases 1
and 2, which may leave it more fragmented in phase 3 and expose the bugs
that this patch fixes.
The fix is to make scanners meeting in isolate_freepage() stay that way,
and to check in compact_zone() for scanners meeting when migrate_pages()
returns -ENOMEM. The result is that compact_finished() also detects
scanners meeting and sets the compact_blockskip_flush flag to make
kswapd reset the scanner pfn's.
The results in stress-highalloc benchmark show that the "regression" by
commit 81c0a2bb51 in phase 3 no longer occurs, and phase 1 and 2
allocation success rates are also significantly improved.

Compaction caches pfn's for its migrate and free scanners to avoid
scanning the whole zone each time. In compact_zone(), the cached values
are read to set up initial values for the scanners. There are several
situations when these cached pfn's are reset to the first and last pfn
of the zone, respectively. One of these situations is when a compaction
has been deferred for a zone and is now being restarted during a direct
compaction, which is also done in compact_zone().
However, compact_zone() currently reads the cached pfn's *before*
resetting them. This means the reset doesn't affect the compaction that
performs it, and with good chance also subsequent compactions, as
update_pageblock_skip() is likely to be called and update the cached
pfn's to those being processed. Another chance for a successful reset
is when a direct compaction detects that migration and free scanners
meet (which has its own problems addressed by another patch) and sets
update_pageblock_skip flag which kswapd uses to do the reset because it
goes to sleep.
This is clearly a bug that results in non-deterministic behavior, so
this patch moves the cached pfn reset to be performed *before* the
values are read.

Currently there are several functions to manipulate the deferred
compaction state variables. The remaining case where the variables are
touched directly is when a successful allocation occurs in direct
compaction, or is expected to be successful in the future by kswapd.
Here, the lowest order that is expected to fail is updated, and in the
case of successful allocation, the deferred status and counter is reset
completely.
Create a new function compaction_defer_reset() to encapsulate this
functionality and make it easier to understand the code. No functional
change.
