In ip6_route_multipath_add(), we call rt6_qualify_for_ecmp() for each
entry. If it returns false, the request fails.
rt6_qualify_for_ecmp() returns false if either of the conditions below
is true:
1. f6i->fib6_flags has RTF_ADDRCONF
2. f6i->nh is not NULL
3. f6i->fib6_nh->fib_nh_gw_family is AF_UNSPEC
1 is unnecessary because rtm_to_fib6_config() never sets RTF_ADDRCONF
to cfg->fc_flags.
2. is equivalent with cfg->fc_nh_id.
3. can be replaced by checking RTF_GATEWAY in the base and each multipath
entry because AF_INET6 is set to f6i->fib6_nh->fib_nh_gw_family only when
cfg.fc_is_fdb is true or RTF_GATEWAY is set, but the former is always
false.
These checks do not require RCU and can be done earlier.
Let's perform the equivalent checks in rtm_to_fib6_multipath_config().

ip6_route_info_create() is called from 3 functions:
* ip6_route_add()
* ip6_route_multipath_add()
* addrconf_f6i_alloc()
addrconf_f6i_alloc() does not need validation for struct fib6_config in
ip6_route_info_create().
ip6_route_multipath_add() calls ip6_route_info_create() for multiple
routes with slightly different fib6_config instances, which is copied
from the base config passed from userspace. So, we need not validate
the same config repeatedly.
Let's move such validation into rtm_to_fib6_config().

Basically, removing an IPv6 route does not require RTNL because
the IPv6 routing tables are protected by per table lock.
inet6_rtm_delroute() calls nexthop_find_by_id() to check if the
nexthop specified by RTA_NH_ID exists. nexthop uses rbtree and
the top-down walk can be safely performed under RCU.
ip6_route_del() already relies on RCU and the table lock, but we
need to extend the RCU critical section a bit more to cover
__ip6_del_rt(). For example, nexthop_for_each_fib6_nh() and
inet6_rt_notify() needs RCU.
Let's call nexthop_find_by_id() and __ip6_del_rt() under RCU and
get rid of RTNL from inet6_rtm_delroute() and SIOCDELRT.
Even if the nexthop is removed after rcu_read_unlock() in
inet6_rtm_delroute(), __remove_nexthop_fib() cleans up the routes
tied to the nexthop, and ip6_route_del() returns -ESRCH. So the
request was at least valid as of nexthop_find_by_id(), and it's just
a matter of timing.
Note that we need to pass false to lwtunnel_valid_encap_type_attr().
The following patches also use the newroute bool.
Note also that fib6_get_table() does not require RCU because once
allocated fib6_table is not freed until netns dismantle. I will
post a follow-up series to convert such callers to RCU-lockless
version. [0]

We will perform RTM_NEWROUTE and RTM_DELROUTE under RCU, and then
we want to perform some validation out of the RCU scope.
When creating / removing an IPv6 route with RTA_MULTIPATH,
inet6_rtm_newroute() / inet6_rtm_delroute() validates RTA_GATEWAY
in each multipath entry.
Let's do that in rtm_to_fib6_config().

If the dst_entry is the same post transformation (which is a valid use
case for IOAM), we don't add it to the cache to avoid a reference loop.
Instead, we use a "fake" dst_entry and add it to the cache as a signal.
When we read the cache, we compare it with our "fake" dst_entry and
therefore detect if we're in the special case.

With this change ovpn is allowed to communicate to peers also via TCP.
Parsing of incoming messages is implemented through the strparser API.
Note that ovpn redefines sk_prot and sk_socket->ops for the TCP socket
used to communicate with the peer.
For this reason it needs to access inet6_stream_ops, which is declared
as extern in the IPv6 module, but it is not fully exported.
Therefore this patch is also adding EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(inet6_stream_ops)
to net/ipv6/af_inet6.c.

This fixes an issue that's caused if there is a mismatch between the data
offset in the GRO header and the length fields in the regular sk_buff due
to the pskb_pull()/skb_push() calls. That's because the UDP GRO layer
stripped off the UDP header via skb_gro_pull() already while the UDP
header was explicitly not pulled/pushed in this function.
For example, an IKE packet that triggered this had len=data_len=1268 and
the data_offset in the GRO header was 28 (IPv4 + UDP). So pskb_pull()
was called with an offset of 28-8=20, which reduced len to 1248 and via
pskb_may_pull() and __pskb_pull_tail() it also set data_len to 1248.
As the ESP offload module was not loaded, the function bailed out and
called skb_push(), which restored len to 1268, however, data_len remained
at 1248.
So while skb_headlen() was 0 before, it was now 20. The latter caused a
difference of 8 instead of 28 (or 0 if pskb_pull()/skb_push() was called
with the complete GRO data_offset) in gro_try_pull_from_frag0() that
triggered a call to gro_pull_from_frag0() that corrupted the packet.
This change uses a more GRO-like approach seen in other GRO receivers
via skb_gro_header() to just read the actual data we are interested in
and does not try to "restore" the UDP header at this point to call the
existing function. If the offload module is not loaded, it immediately
bails out, otherwise, it only does a quick check to see if the packet
is an IKE or keepalive packet instead of calling the existing function.

The current scheme for caching the encap socket can lead to reference
leaks when we try to delete the netns.
The reference chain is: xfrm_state -> enacp_sk -> netns
Since the encap socket is a userspace socket, it holds a reference on
the netns. If we delete the espintcp state (through flush or
individual delete) before removing the netns, the reference on the
socket is dropped and the netns is correctly deleted. Otherwise, the
netns may not be reachable anymore (if all processes within the ns
have terminated), so we cannot delete the xfrm state to drop its
reference on the socket.
This patch results in a small (~2% in my tests) performance
regression.
A GC-type mechanism could be added for the socket cache, to clear
references if the state hasn't been used "recently", but it's a lot
more complex than just not caching the socket.

DCCP was orphaned in 2021 by commit 054c4610bd ("MAINTAINERS: dccp:
move Gerrit Renker to CREDITS"), which noted that the last maintainer
had been inactive for five years.
In recent years, it has become a playground for syzbot, and most changes
to DCCP have been odd bug fixes triggered by syzbot. Apart from that,
the only changes have been driven by treewide or networking API updates
or adjustments related to TCP.
Thus, in 2023, we announced we would remove DCCP in 2025 via commit
b144fcaf46 ("dccp: Print deprecation notice.").
Since then, only one individual has contacted the netdev mailing list. [0]
There is ongoing research for Multipath DCCP. The repository is hosted
on GitHub [1], and development is not taking place through the upstream
community. While the repository is published under the GPLv2 license,
the scheduling part remains proprietary, with a LICENSE file [2] stating:
"This is not Open Source software."
The researcher mentioned a plan to address the licensing issue, upstream
the patches, and step up as a maintainer, but there has been no further
communication since then.
Maintaining DCCP for a decade without any real users has become a burden.
Therefore, it's time to remove it.
Removing DCCP will also provide significant benefits to TCP. It allows
us to freely reorganize the layout of struct inet_connection_sock, which
is currently shared with DCCP, and optimize it to reduce the number of
cachelines accessed in the TCP fast path.
Note that we keep DCCP netfilter modules as requested. [3]

Commit 5eb902b8e7 ("net/ipv6: Remove expired routes with a separated list
of routes.") introduced a separated list for managing route expiration via
the GC timer.
However, it missed adding exception routes (created by ip6_rt_update_pmtu()
and rt6_do_redirect()) to this GC list. As a result, these exceptions were
never considered for expiration and removal, leading to stale entries
persisting in the routing table.
This patch fixes the issue by calling fib6_add_gc_list() in
rt6_insert_exception(), ensuring that exception routes are properly tracked
and garbage collected when expired.

Devices in the networking path, such as firewalls, NATs, or routers, which
can perform SNAT or DNAT, use addresses from their own limited address
pools to masquerade the source address during forwarding, causing PAWS
verification to fail more easily.
Currently, packet loss statistics for PAWS can only be viewed through MIB,
which is a global metric and cannot be precisely obtained through tracing
to get the specific 4-tuple of the dropped packet. In the past, we had to
use kprobe ret to retrieve relevant skb information from
tcp_timewait_state_process().
We add a drop_reason pointer, similar to what previous commit does:
commit e34100c2ec ("tcp: add a drop_reason pointer to tcp_check_req()")
This commit addresses the PAWSESTABREJECTED case and also sets the

A nexthop is only chosen when the calculated multipath hash falls in the
nexthop's hash region (i.e., the hash is smaller than the nexthop's hash
threshold) and when the nexthop is assigned a non-negative score by
rt6_score_route().
Commit 4d0ab3a688 ("ipv6: Start path selection from the first
nexthop") introduced an unintentional difference between the first
nexthop and the rest when the score is negative.
When the first nexthop matches, but has a negative score, the code will
currently evaluate subsequent nexthops until one is found with a
non-negative score. On the other hand, when a different nexthop matches,
but has a negative score, the code will fallback to the nexthop with
which the selection started ('match').
Align the behavior across all nexthops and fallback to 'match' when the
first nexthop matches, but has a negative score.

Most UDP tunnels bind a socket to a local port, with ANY address, no
peer and no interface index specified.
Additionally it's quite common to have a single tunnel device per
namespace.
Track in each namespace the UDP tunnel socket respecting the above.
When only a single one is present, store a reference in the netns.
When such reference is not NULL, UDP tunnel GRO lookup just need to
match the incoming packet destination port vs the socket local port.
The tunnel socket never sets the reuse[port] flag[s]. When bound to no
address and interface, no other socket can exist in the same netns
matching the specified local port.
Matching packets with non-local destination addresses will be
aggregated, and eventually segmented as needed - no behavior changes
intended.
Restrict the optimization to kernel sockets only: it covers all the
relevant use-cases, and user-space owned sockets could be disconnected
and rebound after setup_udp_tunnel_sock(), breaking the uniqueness
assumption
Note that the UDP tunnel socket reference is stored into struct
netns_ipv4 for both IPv4 and IPv6 tunnels. That is intentional to keep
all the fastpath-related netns fields in the same struct and allow
cacheline-based optimization. Currently both the IPv4 and IPv6 socket
pointer share the same cacheline as the `udp_table` field.

Nexthops whose link is down are not supposed to be considered during
path selection when the "ignore_routes_with_linkdown" sysctl is set.
This is done by assigning them a negative region boundary.
However, when comparing the computed hash (unsigned) with the region
boundary (signed), the negative region boundary is treated as unsigned,
resulting in incorrect nexthop selection.
Fix by treating the computed hash as signed. Note that the computed hash
is always in range of [0, 2^31 - 1].

Cited commit transitioned IPv6 path selection to use hash-threshold
instead of modulo-N. With hash-threshold, each nexthop is assigned a
region boundary in the multipath hash function's output space and a
nexthop is chosen if the calculated hash is smaller than the nexthop's
region boundary.
Hash-threshold does not work correctly if path selection does not start
with the first nexthop. For example, if fib6_select_path() is always
passed the last nexthop in the group, then it will always be chosen
because its region boundary covers the entire hash function's output
space.
Fix this by starting the selection process from the first nexthop and do
not consider nexthops for which rt6_score_route() provided a negative
score.

6 bytes, so the binary layout is not changed.

nf_sk_lookup_slow_v4 does the conntrack lookup for IPv4 packets to
restore the original 5-tuple in case of SNAT, to be able to find the
right socket (if any). Then socket_match() can correctly check whether
the socket was transparent.
However, the IPv6 counterpart (nf_sk_lookup_slow_v6) lacks this
conntrack lookup, making xt_socket fail to match on the socket when the
packet was SNATed. Add the same logic to nf_sk_lookup_slow_v6.
IPv6 SNAT is used in Kubernetes clusters for pod-to-world packets, as
pods' addresses are in the fd00::/8 ULA subnet and need to be replaced
with the node's external address. Cilium leverages Envoy to enforce L7
policies, and Envoy uses transparent sockets. Cilium inserts an iptables
prerouting rule that matches on `-m socket --transparent` and redirects
the packets to localhost, but it fails to match SNATed IPv6 packets due
to that missing conntrack lookup.

In case the fib match is used from the input hook we can avoid the fib
lookup if early demux assigned a socket for us: check that the input
interface matches sk-cached one.
Rework the existing 'lo bypass' logic to first check sk, then
for loopback interface type to elide the fib lookup.
This speeds up fib matching a little, before:
93.08 GBit/s (no rules at all)
75.1 GBit/s ("fib saddr . iif oif missing drop" in prerouting)
75.62 GBit/s ("fib saddr . iif oif missing drop" in input)
After:
92.48 GBit/s (no rules at all)
75.62 GBit/s (fib rule in prerouting)
90.37 GBit/s (fib rule in input).
Numbers for the 'no rules' and 'prerouting' are expected to
closely match in-between runs, the 3rd/input test case exercises the
the 'avoid lookup if cached ifindex in sk matches' case.
Test used iperf3 via veth interface, lo can't be used due to existing
loopback test.

Fix the lwtunnel_output() reentry loop in ioam6_iptunnel when the
destination is the same after transformation. Note that a check on the
destination address was already performed, but it was not enough. This
is the example of a lwtunnel user taking care of loops without relying
only on the last resort detection offered by lwtunnel.

In the following patch, we no longer assume inet_frag_kill()
callers own a reference.
Consuming two refcounts from inet_frag_kill() would lead in UAF.
Propagate the pointer to the refs that will be consumed later
by the final inet_frag_putn() call.

While creating a new IPv6, we could get a weird -ENOMEM when
RTA_NH_ID is set and either of the conditions below is true:
1) CONFIG_IPV6_SUBTREES is enabled and rtm_src_len is specified
2) nexthop_get() fails
e.g.)
# strace ip -6 route add fe80::dead:beef:dead:beef nhid 1 from ::
recvmsg(3, {msg_iov=[{iov_base=[...[
{error=-ENOMEM, msg=[... [...]]},
[{nla_len=49, nla_type=NLMSGERR_ATTR_MSG}, "Nexthops can not be used with so"...]
]], iov_len=32768}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 148
Let's set err explicitly after ip_fib_metrics_init() in
ip6_route_info_create().

fib_check_nh_v6_gw() expects that fib6_nh_init() cleans up everything
when it fails.
Commit 7dd73168e2 ("ipv6: Always allocate pcpu memory in a fib6_nh")
moved fib_nh_common_init() before alloc_percpu_gfp() within fib6_nh_init()
but forgot to add cleanup for fib6_nh->nh_common.nhc_pcpu_rth_output in
case it fails to allocate fib6_nh->rt6i_pcpu, resulting in memleak.
Let's call fib_nh_common_release() and clear nhc_pcpu_rth_output in the
error path.
Note that we can remove the fib6_nh_release() call in nh_create_ipv6()
later in net-next.git.

Most UDP tunnels bind a socket to a local port, with ANY address, no
peer and no interface index specified.
Additionally it's quite common to have a single tunnel device per
namespace.
Track in each namespace the UDP tunnel socket respecting the above.
When only a single one is present, store a reference in the netns.
When such reference is not NULL, UDP tunnel GRO lookup just need to
match the incoming packet destination port vs the socket local port.
The tunnel socket never sets the reuse[port] flag[s]. When bound to no
address and interface, no other socket can exist in the same netns
matching the specified local port.
Matching packets with non-local destination addresses will be
aggregated, and eventually segmented as needed - no behavior changes
intended.
Note that the UDP tunnel socket reference is stored into struct
netns_ipv4 for both IPv4 and IPv6 tunnels. That is intentional to keep
all the fastpath-related netns fields in the same struct and allow
cacheline-based optimization. Currently both the IPv4 and IPv6 socket
pointer share the same cacheline as the `udp_table` field.

ECN bits in TOS are always cleared when sending in ACKs in TW. Clearing
them is problematic for TCP flows that used Accurate ECN because ECN bits
decide which service queue the packet is placed into (L4S vs Classic).
Effectively, TW ACKs are always downgraded from L4S to Classic queue
which might impact, e.g., delay the ACK will experience on the path
compared with the other packets of the flow.
Change the TW ACK sending code to differentiate:
- In tcp_v4_send_reset(), commit ba9e04a7dd ("ip: fix tos reflection
in ack and reset packets") cleans ECN bits for TW reset and this is
not affected.
- In tcp_v4_timewait_ack(), ECN bits for all TW ACKs are cleaned. But now
only ECN bits of ACKs for oow data or paws_reject are cleaned, and ECN
bits of other ACKs will not be cleaned.
- In tcp_v4_reqsk_send_ack(), commit 66b13d99d9 ("ipv4: tcp: fix TOS
value in ACK messages sent from TIME_WAIT") did not clean ECN bits of
ACKs for oow data or paws_reject. But now the ECN bits rae cleaned for
these ACKs.
