syzbot reported a hang involving SCTP, on which it kept flooding dmesg
with the message:
[ 246.742374] sctp: sctp_transport_update_pmtu: Reported pmtu 508 too
low, using default minimum of 512
That happened because whenever SCTP hits an ICMP Frag Needed, it tries
to adjust to the new MTU and triggers an immediate retransmission. But
it didn't consider the fact that MTUs smaller than the SCTP minimum MTU
allowed (512) would not cause the PMTU to change, and issued the
retransmission anyway (thus leading to another ICMP Frag Needed, and so
on).
As IPv4 (ip_rt_min_pmtu=556) and IPv6 (IPV6_MIN_MTU=1280) minimum MTU
are higher than that, sctp_transport_update_pmtu() is changed to
re-fetch the PMTU that got set after our request, and with that, detect
if there was an actual change or not.
The fix, thus, skips the immediate retransmission if the received ICMP
resulted in no change, in the hope that SCTP will select another path.
Note: The value being used for the minimum MTU (512,
SCTP_DEFAULT_MINSEGMENT) is not right and instead it should be (576,
SCTP_MIN_PMTU), but such change belongs to another patch.
Changes from v1:
- do not disable PMTU discovery, in the light of commit
06ad391919b2 ("[SCTP] Don't disable PMTU discovery when mtu is small")
and as suggested by Xin Long.
- changed the way to break the rtx loop by detecting if the icmp
resulted in a change or not
Changes from v2:

Currently, if PMTU discovery is disabled on a given transport, but the
configured value is higher than the actual PMTU, it is likely that we
will get some icmp Frag Needed. The issue is, if PMTU discovery is
disabled, we won't update the information and will issue a
retransmission immediately, which may very well trigger another ICMP,
and another retransmission, leading to a loop.
The fix is to simply not trigger immediate retransmissions if PMTU
discovery is disabled on the given transport.
Changes from v2:
- updated stale comment, noticed by Xin Long

When loading the module after unloading it, the network interface would

to be used by the guest.
The guest would face errors like:
[root@guest ~]# ethtool -i eth0
Cannot get driver information: No such device
[root@guest ~]# ifconfig eth0
eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found

In bnxt_vf_ndo_prep (which is called by bnxt_get_vf_config ndo), there is a
check for "Invalid VF id". Currently, the check is done against max_vfs.
However, the user doesn't always create max_vfs. So, the check should be
against the created number of VFs. The number of bnxt_vf_info structures
that are allocated in bnxt_alloc_vf_resources routine is the "number of
requested VFs". So, if an "invalid VF id" falls between the requested
number of VFs and the max_vfs, the driver will be dereferencing an invalid
pointer.

Allow a process bound to a VRF to connect to a linklocal address.
Currently, this fails because of a mismatch between the scope of the
linklocal address and the sk_bound_dev_if inherited by the VRF binding:
$ ssh -6 fe80::70b8:cff:fedd:ead8%eth1
ssh: connect to host fe80::70b8:cff:fedd:ead8%eth1 port 22: Invalid argument
Relax the scope check to allow the socket to be bound to the same L3
device as the scope id.
This makes ipv6 linklocal consistent with other relaxed checks enabled

for the hardware. ETH_HLEN、ETH_FCS_LEN and VLAN_HLEN must need to be
considered. And the frame size which is less than the default value
should not be set to the hardware. Because in the hardware, the the max
frame size not only controls the RX packet size, but also controls the
TX packet size. the RX packets whose size are greater than the setting
value will be dropped.

When using the MAPv4 packet format, receive checksum offload can be
enabled in hardware. The checksum computation over pseudo header is
not offloaded but the rest of the checksum computation over
the payload is offloaded. This applies only for TCP / UDP packets
which are not fragmented.
rmnet validates the TCP/UDP checksum for the packet using the checksum
from the checksum trailer added to the packet by hardware. The
validation performed is as following -
1. Perform 1's complement over the checksum value from the trailer
2. Compute 1's complement checksum over IPv4 / IPv6 header and
subtracts it from the value from step 1
3. Computes 1's complement checksum over IPv4 / IPv6 pseudo header and
adds it to the value from step 2
4. Subtracts the checksum value from the TCP / UDP header from the
value from step 3.
5. Compares the value from step 4 to the checksum value from the
TCP / UDP header.
6. If the comparison in step 5 succeeds, CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY is set
and the packet is passed on to network stack. If there is a
failure, then the packet is passed on as such without modifying
the ip_summed field.
The checksum field is also checked for UDP checksum 0 as per RFC 768
and for unexpected TCP checksum of 0.
If checksum offload is disabled when using MAPv4 packet format in
receive path, the packet is queued as is to network stack without
the validations above.

The MAPv4 packet format adds support for RX / TX checksum offload.
For a bi-directional UDP stream at a rate of 570 / 146 Mbps, roughly
10% CPU cycles are saved.
For receive path, there is a checksum trailer appended to the end of
the MAP packet. The valid field indicates if hardware has computed
the checksum. csum_start_offset indicates the offset from the start
of the IP header from which hardware has computed checksum.
csum_length is the number of bytes over which the checksum was
computed and the resulting value is csum_value.
In the transmit path, a header is appended between the end of the MAP
header and the start of the IP packet. csum_start_offset is the offset
in bytes from which hardware will compute the checksum if the
csum_enabled bit is set. udp_ip4_ind indicates if the checksum
value of 0 is valid or not. csum_insert_offset is the offset from the
csum_start_offset where hardware will insert the computed checksum.
The use of this additional packet format for checksum offload is
explained in subsequent patches.

Calling acpi_wmi_init() at the subsys_initcall() level causes ordering
issues to appear on some systems and they are difficult to reproduce,
because there is no guaranteed ordering between subsys_initcall()
calls, so they may occur in different orders on different systems.
In particular, commit 86d9f48534e8 (mm/slab: fix kmemcg cache
creation delayed issue) exposed one of these issues where genl_init()
and acpi_wmi_init() are both called at the same initcall level, but
the former must run before the latter so as to avoid a NULL pointer
dereference.
For this reason, move the acpi_wmi_init() invocation to the
initcall_sync level which should still be early enough for things
to work correctly in the WMI land.

Add new instruction for the nf_tables VM that allows us to specify what
flows are offloaded into a given flow table via name. This new
instruction creates the flow entry and adds it to the flow table.
Only established flows, ie. we have seen traffic in both directions, are
added to the flow table. You can still decide to offload entries at a
later stage via packet counting or checking the ct status in case you
want to offload assured conntracks.
This new extension depends on the conntrack subsystem.

This also adds the infrastructure to add different flow table types, so
we can add one for each layer 3 protocol family.
