tcp: implement RFC5682 F-RTO
This patch implements F-RTO (foward RTO recovery):
When the first retransmission after timeout is acknowledged, F-RTO
sends new data instead of old data. If the next ACK acknowledges
some never-retransmitted data, then the timeout was spurious and the
congestion state is reverted. Otherwise if the next ACK selectively
acknowledges the new data, then the timeout was genuine and the
loss recovery continues. This idea applies to recurring timeouts
as well. While F-RTO sends different data during timeout recovery,
it does not (and should not) change the congestion control.
The implementaion follows the three steps of SACK enhanced algorithm
(section 3) in RFC5682. Step 1 is in tcp_enter_loss(). Step 2 and
3 are in tcp_process_loss(). The basic version is not supported
because SACK enhanced version also works for non-SACK connections.
The new implementation is functionally in parity with the old F-RTO
implementation except the one case where it increases undo events:
In addition to the RFC algorithm, a spurious timeout may be detected
without sending data in step 2, as long as the SACK confirms not
all the original data are dropped. When this happens, the sender
will undo the cwnd and perhaps enter fast recovery instead. This
additional check increases the F-RTO undo events by 5x compared
to the prior implementation on Google Web servers, since the sender
often does not have new data to send for HTTP.
Note F-RTO may detect spurious timeout before Eifel with timestamps
does so.

tcp: refactor F-RTO
The patch series refactor the F-RTO feature (RFC4138/5682).
This is to simplify the loss recovery processing. Existing F-RTO
was developed during the experimental stage (RFC4138) and has
many experimental features. It takes a separate code path from
the traditional timeout processing by overloading CA_Disorder
instead of using CA_Loss state. This complicates CA_Disorder state
handling because it's also used for handling dubious ACKs and undos.
While the algorithm in the RFC does not change the congestion control,
the implementation intercepts congestion control in various places
(e.g., frto_cwnd in tcp_ack()).
The new code implements newer F-RTO RFC5682 using CA_Loss processing
path. F-RTO becomes a small extension in the timeout processing
and interfaces with congestion control and Eifel undo modules.
It lets congestion control (module) determines how many to send
independently. F-RTO only chooses what to send in order to detect
spurious retranmission. If timeout is found spurious it invokes
existing Eifel undo algorithms like DSACK or TCP timestamp based
detection.
The first patch removes all F-RTO code except the sysctl_tcp_frto is
left for the new implementation. Since CA_EVENT_FRTO is removed, TCP
westwood now computes ssthresh on regular timeout CA_EVENT_LOSS event.

John W. Linville says:
====================
This is a big pull request for new features intended for the 3.10
stream...
Regarding mac80211, Johannes says:
"First, I merged mac80211/master to avoid some conflicts. This brings in
a bunch of fixes you're already familiar with. For real -next material,
I have a whole bunch of minstrel work, minstrel_ht from Felix and legacy
minstrel from Thomas (Huehn). The other Thomas (Pedersen) did a number
of changes in mesh to allow userspace peering management even when the
mesh isn't secured. Stanislaw changes suspend/resume to always
disconnect the networks. This is typically already done by
network-manager so won't make a huge difference for most users, but
fixes a number problems, particularly with USB drivers that can easily
disconnect while suspended. Ilan has a small change to allow mac80211
drivers to differentiate remain-on-channel reasons, and Jouni extends
nl80211 to allow fast roaming with full-MAC devices. I have a fairly
large number of patches as well, many of them fairly simple cleanups,
but also allowing split wiphy dumps and adding back the full wiphy
information in nl80211, station entry change checking and more VHT work
including VHT capability overrides (mostly for testing purposes)."
And for iwlwifi, Johannes says:
"Here, I also merged iwlwifi-fixes to avoid conflicts, and otherwise have
various cleanups and improvements on the MVM driver, along with a few
throughout the driver. Other than Bluetooth Coexistence from Emmanuel
there's no over-arching theme, so listing them would pretty much
reproduce the shortlog."
Regarding NFC, Samuel says:
"The 2 features we have with this one are:
- An LLCP Service Name Lookup (SNL) netlink interface for querying LLCP
service availability from user space.
Along the way, Thierry also improved the existing SNL interface for
aggregating SNL responses.
- An initial LLCP socket options implementation, for setting the Receive
Window (RW) and the Maximum Information Unit Extension (MIUX) per socket.
This is need for the LLCP validation tests.
We also have a microread MEI build failure here: I am not sending this one to
3.9 because the MEI bus code is not there yet, so it won't break for anyone
else than me."
And for ath6kl, Kalle says:
"I added tracing support to ath6kl, along with a new Kconfig option. Now
there's also a workaround to reset USB devices when the firmware upload
fails, this happened when host was warm rebooted. There are also quite a
few small fixes or cleanup."
On top of all that, there is the usual bundle of driver updates
with new features, new hardware support and the like mixed-in.
The ath9k, b43, brcmfmac, mwifiex, rt2800, and wil6210 drivers
are all well-represented, and a few other drivers are hit as well.
I also pulled-in the wireless fixes tree in order to resolve some
pending merge conflicts.
Please let me know if there are problems!

This l2tp bugfix patchset addresses a number of issues.
The first five patches in the series prevent l2tp sessions pinning an l2tp
tunnel open. This occurs because the l2tp tunnel is torn down in the tunnel
socket destructor, but each session holds a tunnel socket reference which
prevents tunnels with sessions being deleted. The solution I've implemented
here involves adding a .destroy hook to udp code, as discussed previously on
netdev[1].
The subsequent seven patches address futher bugs exposed by fixing the problem
above, or exposed through stress testing the implementation above. Patch 11
(avoid deadlock in l2tp stats update) isn't directly related to tunnel/session
lifetimes, but it does prevent deadlocks on i386 kernels running on 64 bit
hardware.
This patchset has been tested on 32 and 64 bit preempt/non-preempt kernels,
using iproute2, openl2tp, and custom-made stress test code.

l2tp: unhash l2tp sessions on delete, not on free
If we postpone unhashing of l2tp sessions until the structure is freed, we
risk:
1. further packets arriving and getting queued while the pseudowire is being
closed down
2. the recv path hitting "scheduling while atomic" errors in the case that
recv drops the last reference to a session and calls l2tp_session_free
while in atomic context
As such, l2tp sessions should be unhashed from l2tp_core data structures early
in the teardown process prior to calling pseudowire close. For pseudowires
like l2tp_ppp which have multiple shutdown codepaths, provide an unhash hook.

l2tp: avoid deadlock in l2tp stats update
l2tp's u64_stats writers were incorrectly synchronised, making it possible to
deadlock a 64bit machine running a 32bit kernel simply by sending the l2tp
code netlink commands while passing data through l2tp sessions.
Previous discussion on netdev determined that alternative solutions such as
spinlock writer synchronisation or per-cpu data would bring unjustified
overhead, given that most users interested in high volume traffic will likely
be running 64bit kernels on 64bit hardware.
As such, this patch replaces l2tp's use of u64_stats with atomic_long_t,
thereby avoiding the deadlock.

l2tp: add udp encap socket destroy handler
L2TP sessions hold a reference to the tunnel socket to prevent it going away
while sessions are still active. However, since tunnel destruction is handled
by the sock sk_destruct callback there is a catch-22: a tunnel with sessions
cannot be deleted since each session holds a reference to the tunnel socket.
If userspace closes a managed tunnel socket, or dies, the tunnel will persist
and it will be neccessary to individually delete the sessions using netlink
commands. This is ugly.
To prevent this occuring, this patch leverages the udp encapsulation socket
destroy callback to gain early notification when the tunnel socket is closed.
This allows us to safely close the sessions running in the tunnel, dropping
the tunnel socket references in the process. The tunnel socket is then
destroyed as normal, and the tunnel resources deallocated in sk_destruct.
While we're at it, ensure that l2tp_tunnel_closeall correctly drops session
references to allow the sessions to be deleted rather than leaking.

udp: add encap_destroy callback
Users of udp encapsulation currently have an encap_rcv callback which they can
use to hook into the udp receive path.
In situations where a encapsulation user allocates resources associated with a
udp encap socket, it may be convenient to be able to also hook the proto
.destroy operation. For example, if an encap user holds a reference to the
udp socket, the destroy hook might be used to relinquish this reference.
This patch adds a socket destroy hook into udp, which is set and enabled
in the same way as the existing encap_rcv hook.

PCI: Use ROM images from firmware only if no other ROM source available
Mantas Mikulėnas reported that his graphics hardware failed to
initialise after commit f9a37be0f02a ("x86: Use PCI setup data").
The aim of this commit was to ensure that ROM images were available on
some Apple systems that don't expose the GPU ROM via any other source.
In this case, UEFI appears to have provided a broken ROM image that we
were using even though there was a perfectly valid ROM available via
other sources. The simplest way to handle this seems to be to just
re-order pci_map_rom() and leave any firmare-supplied ROM to last.

packet: packet fanout rollover during socket overload
Changes:
v3->v2: rebase (no other changes)
passes selftest
v2->v1: read f->num_members only once
fix bug: test rollover mode + flag
Minimize packet drop in a fanout group. If one socket is full,
roll over packets to another from the group. Maintain flow
affinity during normal load using an rxhash fanout policy, while
dispersing unexpected traffic storms that hit a single cpu, such
as spoofed-source DoS flows. Rollover breaks affinity for flows
arriving at saturated sockets during those conditions.
The patch adds a fanout policy ROLLOVER that rotates between sockets,
filling each socket before moving to the next. It also adds a fanout
flag ROLLOVER. If passed along with any other fanout policy, the
primary policy is applied until the chosen socket is full. Then,
rollover selects another socket, to delay packet drop until the
entire system is saturated.
Probing sockets is not free. Selecting the last used socket, as
rollover does, is a greedy approach that maximizes chance of
success, at the cost of extreme load imbalance. In practice, with
sufficiently long queues to absorb bursts, sockets are drained in
parallel and load balance looks uniform in `top`.
To avoid contention, scales counters with number of sockets and
accesses them lockfree. Values are bounds checked to ensure
correctness.
Tested using an application with 9 threads pinned to CPUs, one socket
per thread and sufficient busywork per packet operation to limits each
thread to handling 32 Kpps. When sent 500 Kpps single UDP stream
packets, a FANOUT_CPU setup processes 32 Kpps in total without this
patch, 270 Kpps with the patch. Tested with read() and with a packet
ring (V1).
Also, passes psock_fanout.c unit test added to selftests.

Dmitry Akindinov is reporting for a problem where SYNs are looping
between the master and backup server when the backup server is used as
real server in DR mode and has IPVS rules to function as director.
Even when the backup function is enabled we continue to forward
traffic and schedule new connections when the current master is using
the backup server as real server. While this is not a problem for NAT,
for DR and TUN method the backup server can not determine if a request
comes from client or from director.
To avoid such loops add new sysctl flag backup_only. It can be needed
for DR/TUN setups that do not need backup and director function at the
same time. When the backup function is enabled we stop any forwarding
and pass the traffic to the local stack (real server mode). The flag
disables the director function when the backup function is enabled.
For setups that enable backup function for some virtual services and
director function for other virtual services there should be another
more complex solution to support DR/TUN mode, may be to assign
per-virtual service syncid value, so that we can differentiate the
requests.
