a59322be07 [UDP]: Only increment counter on first peek/recv
The previous move of the the UDP inDatagrams counter caused each
peek of the same packet to be counted separately.  This may be
undesirable.

This patch fixes this by adding a bit to sk_buff to record whether
this packet has already been seen through skb_recv_datagram.  We
then only increment the counter when the packet is seen for the
first time.

The only dodgy part is the fact that skb_recv_datagram doesn't have
a good way of returning this new bit of information.  So I've added
a new function __skb_recv_datagram that does return this and made
skb_recv_datagram a wrapper around it.

The plan is to eventually replace all uses of skb_recv_datagram with
this new function at which time it can be renamed its proper name.

2d4baff8da [SKBUFF]: Free old skb properly in skb_morph
The skb_morph function only freed the data part of the dst skb, but leaked
the auxiliary data such as the netfilter fields.  This patch fixes this by
moving the relevant parts from __kfree_skb to skb_release_all and calling
it in skb_morph.

It also makes kfree_skbmem static since it's no longer called anywhere else
and it now no longer does skb_release_data.

Thanks to Yasuyuki KOZAKAI for finding this problem and posting a patch for
it.

78608ba032 [NET]: Fix skb_truesize_check() assertion
The intent of the assertion in skb_truesize_check() is to check
for skb->truesize being decremented too much by other code,
resulting in a wraparound below zero.

The type of the right side of the comparison causes the compiler to
promote the left side to an unsigned type, despite the presence of an
explicit type cast.  This defeats the check for negativity.

Ensure both sides of the comparison are a signed type to prevent the
implicit type conversion.

deea84b0ae [NET]: Fix SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD calculation
The calculation in SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD is incorrect in that it can cause
an overflow across a page boundary which is what it's meant to prevent.
In particular, the header length (X) should not be lumped together with
skb_shared_info.  The latter needs to be aligned properly while the header
has no choice but to sit in front of wherever the payload is.

Therefore the correct calculation is to take away the aligned size of
skb_shared_info, and then subtract the header length.  The resulting
quantity L satisfies the following inequality:

	SKB_DATA_ALIGN(L + X) + sizeof(struct skb_shared_info) <= PAGE_SIZE

This is the quantity used by alloc_skb to do the actual allocation.

334a8132d9 [SKBUFF]: Keep track of writable header len of headerless clones
Currently NAT (and others) that want to modify cloned skbs copy them,
even if in the vast majority of cases its not necessary because the
skb is a clone made by TCP and the portion NAT wants to modify is
actually writable because TCP release the header reference before
cloning.

The problem is that there is no clean way for NAT to find out how
long the writable header area is, so this patch introduces skb->hdr_len
to hold this length. When a headerless skb is cloned skb->hdr_len
is set to the current headroom, for regular clones it is copied from
the original. A new function skb_clone_writable(skb, len) returns
whether the skb is writable up to len bytes from skb->data. To avoid
enlarging the skb the mac_len field is reduced to 16 bit and the
new hdr_len field is put in the remaining 16 bit.

I've done a few rough benchmarks of NAT (not with this exact patch,
but a very similar one). As expected it saves huge amounts of system
time in case of sendfile, bringing it down to basically the same
amount as without NAT, with sendmsg it only helps on loopback,
probably because of the large MTU.

Transmit a 1GB file using sendfile/sendmsg over eth0/lo with and
without NAT:

- sendfile eth0, no NAT:	sys     0m0.388s
- sendfile eth0, NAT:		sys     0m1.835s
- sendfile eth0: NAT + path:	sys     0m0.370s	(~ -80%)

- sendfile lo, no NAT:		sys     0m0.258s
- sendfile lo, NAT:		sys     0m2.609s
- sendfile lo, NAT + patch:	sys     0m0.260s	(~ -90%)

- sendmsg eth0, no NAT:		sys     0m2.508s
- sendmsg eth0, NAT:		sys     0m2.539s
- sendmsg eth0, NAT + patch:	sys     0m2.445s	(no change)

- sendmsg lo, no NAT:		sys	0m2.151s
- sendmsg lo, NAT:		sys     0m3.557s
- sendmsg lo, NAT + patch:	sys     0m2.159s	(~ -40%)

I expect other users can see a similar performance improvement,
packet mangling iptables targets, ipip and ip_gre come to mind ..

b9ce204f0a [TCP]: Congestion control API RTT sampling fix
Commit 164891aadf broke RTT
sampling of congestion control modules. Inaccurate timestamps
could be fed to them without providing any way for them to
identify such cases. Previously RTT sampler was called only if
FLAG_RETRANS_DATA_ACKED was not set filtering inaccurate
timestamps nicely. In addition, the new behavior could give an
invalid timestamp (zero) to RTT sampler if only skbs with
TCPCB_RETRANS were ACKed. This solves both problems.

the same pointer is also used during receive side processing.

This creates a problem when we want to retransmit a received
packet with partial checksums since the skb transport pointer
would be overwritten.

This patch solves this problem by creating a new 16-bit csum_start
offset value to replace the skb transport header for the purpose
of checksums.  This offset is calculated from skb->head so that
it does not have to change when skb->data changes.

No extra space is required since csum_offset itself fits within
a 16-bit word so we can use the other 16 bits for csum_start.

For backwards compatibility, just before we push a packet with
partial checksums off into the device driver, we set the skb
transport header to what it would have been under the old scheme.

716ea3a7aa [NET]: Move generic skbuff stuff from XFRM code to generic code
Move generic skbuff stuff from XFRM code to generic code so that
AF_RXRPC can use it too.

The kdoc comments I've attached to the functions needs to be checked
by whoever wrote them as I had to make some guesses about the workings
of these functions.

35fc92a9de [NET]: Allow forwarding of ip_summed except CHECKSUM_COMPLETE
Right now Xen has a horrible hack that lets it forward packets with
partial checksums.  One of the reasons that CHECKSUM_PARTIAL and
CHECKSUM_COMPLETE were added is so that we can get rid of this hack
(where it creates two extra bits in the skbuff to essentially mirror
ip_summed without being destroyed by the forwarding code).

I had forgotten that I've already gone through all the deivce drivers
last time around to make sure that they're looking at ip_summed ==
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL rather than ip_summed != 0 on transmit.  In any case,
I've now done that again so it should definitely be safe.

Unfortunately nobody has yet added any code to update CHECKSUM_COMPLETE
values on forward so we I'm setting that to CHECKSUM_NONE.  This should
be safe to remove for bridging but I'd like to check that code path
first.

So here is the patch that lets us get rid of the hack by preserving
ip_summed (mostly) on forwarded packets.
