SFQ currently uses a 1024 slots hash table, and its internal structure
(sfq_sched_data) allocation needs order-1 page on x86_64
Allow tc command to specify a divisor value (hash table size), between 1
and 65536.
If no value is provided, assume the 1024 default size.
This allows admins to setup smaller (or bigger) SFQ for specific needs.
This also brings back sfq_sched_data allocations to order-0 ones, saving
3KB per SFQ qdisc.
Jesper uses ~55.000 SFQ in one machine, this patch should free 165 MB of
memory.

ret != NF_QUEUE only works in the "--queue-num 0" case; for
queues > 0 the test should be '(ret & NF_VERDICT_MASK) != NF_QUEUE'.
However, NF_QUEUE no longer DROPs the skb unconditionally if queueing
fails (due to NF_VERDICT_FLAG_QUEUE_BYPASS verdict flag), so the
re-route test should also be performed if this flag is set in the
verdict.
The full test would then look something like
&& ((ret & NF_VERDICT_MASK) == NF_QUEUE && (ret & NF_VERDICT_FLAG_QUEUE_BYPASS))
This is rather ugly, so just remove the NF_QUEUE test altogether.
The only effect is that we might perform an unnecessary route lookup
in the NF_QUEUE case.

This implements a mqprio queueing discipline that by default creates
a pfifo_fast qdisc per tx queue and provides the needed configuration
interface.
Using the mqprio qdisc the number of tcs currently in use along
with the range of queues alloted to each class can be configured. By
default skbs are mapped to traffic classes using the skb priority.
This mapping is configurable.
Configurable parameters,
struct tc_mqprio_qopt {
__u8 num_tc;
__u8 prio_tc_map[TC_BITMASK + 1];
__u8 hw;
__u16 count[TC_MAX_QUEUE];
__u16 offset[TC_MAX_QUEUE];
};
Here the count/offset pairing give the queue alignment and the
prio_tc_map gives the mapping from skb->priority to tc.
The hw bit determines if the hardware should configure the count
and offset values. If the hardware bit is set then the operation
will fail if the hardware does not implement the ndo_setup_tc
operation. This is to avoid undetermined states where the hardware
may or may not control the queue mapping. Also minimal bounds
checking is done on the count/offset to verify a queue does not
exceed num_tx_queues and that queue ranges do not overlap. Otherwise
it is left to user policy or hardware configuration to create
useful mappings.
It is expected that hardware QOS schemes can be implemented by
creating appropriate mappings of queues in ndo_tc_setup().
One expected use case is drivers will use the ndo_setup_tc to map
queue ranges onto 802.1Q traffic classes. This provides a generic
mechanism to map network traffic onto these traffic classes and
removes the need for lower layer drivers to know specifics about
traffic types.

This patch provides a mechanism for lower layer devices to
steer traffic using skb->priority to tx queues. This allows
for hardware based QOS schemes to use the default qdisc without
incurring the penalties related to global state and the qdisc
lock. While reliably receiving skbs on the correct tx ring
to avoid head of line blocking resulting from shuffling in
the LLD. Finally, all the goodness from txq caching and xps/rps
can still be leveraged.
Many drivers and hardware exist with the ability to implement
QOS schemes in the hardware but currently these drivers tend
to rely on firmware to reroute specific traffic, a driver
specific select_queue or the queue_mapping action in the
qdisc.
By using select_queue for this drivers need to be updated for
each and every traffic type and we lose the goodness of much
of the upstream work. Firmware solutions are inherently
inflexible. And finally if admins are expected to build a
qdisc and filter rules to steer traffic this requires knowledge
of how the hardware is currently configured. The number of tx
queues and the queue offsets may change depending on resources.
Also this approach incurs all the overhead of a qdisc with filters.
With the mechanism in this patch users can set skb priority using
expected methods ie setsockopt() or the stack can set the priority
directly. Then the skb will be steered to the correct tx queues
aligned with hardware QOS traffic classes. In the normal case with
single traffic class and all queues in this class everything
works as is until the LLD enables multiple tcs.
To steer the skb we mask out the lower 4 bits of the priority
and allow the hardware to configure upto 15 distinct classes
of traffic. This is expected to be sufficient for most applications
at any rate it is more then the 8021Q spec designates and is
equal to the number of prio bands currently implemented in
the default qdisc.
This in conjunction with a userspace application such as
lldpad can be used to implement 8021Q transmission selection
algorithms one of these algorithms being the extended transmission
selection algorithm currently being used for DCB.

This patch adds flow-based timestamping for conntracks. This
conntrack extension is disabled by default. Basically, we use
two 64-bits variables to store the creation timestamp once the
conntrack has been confirmed and the other to store the deletion
time. This extension is disabled by default, to enable it, you
have to:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_timestamp
This patch allows to save memory for user-space flow-based
loogers such as ulogd2. In short, ulogd2 does not need to
keep a hashtable with the conntrack in user-space to know
when they were created and destroyed, instead we use the
kernel timestamp. If we want to have a sane IPFIX implementation
in user-space, this nanosecs resolution timestamps are also
useful. Other custom user-space applications can benefit from
this via libnetfilter_conntrack.
This patch modifies the /proc output to display the delta time
in seconds since the flow start. You can also obtain the
flow-start date by means of the conntrack-tools.

Linux Socket Filters can already be successfully attached and detached on unix
sockets with setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_{ATTACH,DETACH}_FILTER, ...).
See: Documentation/networking/filter.txt
But the filter was never used in the unix socket code so it did not work. This
patch uses sk_filter() to filter buffers before delivery.
This short program demonstrates the problem on SOCK_DGRAM.
int main(void) {
int i, j, ret;
int sv[2];
struct pollfd fds[2];
char *message = "Hello world!";
char buffer[64];
struct sock_filter ins[32] = {{0,},};
struct sock_fprog filter;

for (i = 0 ; i < 2 ; i++) {
fds[i].fd = sv[i];
fds[i].events = POLLIN;
fds[i].revents = 0;
}
for(j = 1 ; j < 13 ; j++) {
/* Set a socket filter to truncate the message */
memset(ins, 0, sizeof(ins));
ins[0].code = BPF_RET|BPF_K;
ins[0].k = j;
filter.len = 1;
filter.filter = ins;
setsockopt(sv[1], SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_FILTER, &filter, sizeof(filter));
/* send a message */
send(sv[0], message, strlen(message) + 1, 0);
/* The filter should let the message pass but truncated. */
poll(fds, 2, 0);
/* Receive the truncated message*/
ret = recv(sv[1], buffer, 64, 0);
printf("received %d bytes, expected %d\n", ret, j);
}

This is problematic for applications which use CLONE_NEWNET as

vsftpd. On a busy machine, it can lead to thousands of useless
"lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions" messages appearing in dmesg.

If an skb is to be NF_QUEUE'd, but no program has opened the queue, the
packet is dropped.
This adds a v2 target revision of xt_NFQUEUE that allows packets to
continue through the ruleset instead.
Because the actual queueing happens outside of the target context, the
'bypass' flag has to be communicated back to the netfilter core.
Unfortunately the only choice to do this without adding a new function
argument is to use the target function return value (i.e. the verdict).
In the NF_QUEUE case, the upper 16bit already contain the queue number
to use. The previous patch reduced NF_VERDICT_MASK to 0xff, i.e.
we now have extra room for a new flag.
If a hook issued a NF_QUEUE verdict, then the netfilter core will
continue packet processing if the queueing hook
returns -ESRCH (== "this queue does not exist") and the new
NF_VERDICT_FLAG_QUEUE_BYPASS flag is set in the verdict value.
Note: If the queue exists, but userspace does not consume packets fast
enough, the skb will still be dropped.

NF_VERDICT_MASK is currently 0xffff. This is because the upper
16 bits are used to store errno (for NF_DROP) or the queue number
(NF_QUEUE verdict).
As there are up to 0xffff different queues available, there is no more
room to store additional flags.
At the moment there are only 6 different verdicts, i.e. we can reduce
NF_VERDICT_MASK to 0xff to allow storing additional flags in the 0xff00 space.
NF_VERDICT_BITS would then be reduced to 8, but because the value is
exported to userspace, this might cause breakage; e.g.:
e.g. 'queuenr = (1 << NF_VERDICT_BITS) | NF_QUEUE' would now break.
Thus, remove NF_VERDICT_BITS usage in the kernel and move the old value
to the 'userspace compat' section.

hands it to skb_split_inside_header() from where it gets passed to
