Define new netlink attributes for rmnet mux_id and flags. These
flags / mux_id were earlier using vlan flags / id respectively.
The flag bits are also moved to uapi and are renamed with
prefix RMNET_FLAG_*.
Also add the rmnet policy to handle the new netlink attributes.

====================
tipc: socket diagnostics additions for AF_TIPC
The following patchsets add socket diagnostics support for AF_TIPC by
using the sock diag framework. The patchset was created on top of
commit id: fb66cb0.
New iproute2 package is needed to use this functionality which will
be sent for review in a seperate mail.
The commit series improves diagnosis of tipc sockets by exporting the
configuration, states and statistics of sockets.
The series has been co-authored by Parthasarathy Bhuvaragan and
consist of two parts:
1-2: Adaptations of existing code to support sock_diag framework.
We modify existing functions to support socket diagnostics. Required
information about the sockets are exported.
3: Step sk_drops during packet drop.
This occurs if the packet cannot be queued due to queue length exceeding
configured thresholds.
The diag module is optional, and if enabled it will be loaded on demand
when needed.

Currently when tipc is unable to queue a received message on a
socket, the message is rejected back to the sender with error
TIPC_ERR_OVERLOAD. However, the application on this socket
has no knowledge about these discards.
In this commit, we try to step the sk_drops counter when tipc
is unable to queue a received message. Export sk_drops
using tipc socket diagnostics.

This commit adds socket diagnostics capability for AF_TIPC in netlink
family NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG in a new kernel module (diag.ko).
The following are key design considerations:
- config TIPC_DIAG has default y, like INET_DIAG.
- only requests with flag NLM_F_DUMP is supported (dump all).
- tipc_sock_diag_req message is introduced to send filter parameters.
- the response attributes are of TLV, some nested.
To avoid exposing data structures between diag and tipc modules and
avoid code duplication, the following additions are required:
- export tipc_nl_sk_walk function to reuse socket iterator.
- export tipc_sk_fill_sock_diag to fill the tipc diag attributes.
- create a sock_diag response message in __tipc_add_sock_diag defined
in diag.c and use the above exported tipc_sk_fill_sock_diag
to fill response.

The current socket iterator function tipc_nl_sk_dump, handles socket
locks and calls __tipc_nl_add_sk for each socket.
To reuse this logic in sock_diag implementation, we do minor
modifications to make these functions generic as described below.
In this commit, we add a two new functions __tipc_nl_sk_walk,
__tipc_nl_add_sk_info and modify tipc_nl_sk_dump, __tipc_nl_add_sk
accordingly.
In __tipc_nl_sk_walk we:
1. acquire and release socket locks
2. for each socket, execute the specified callback function
In __tipc_nl_add_sk we:
- Move the netlink attribute insertion to __tipc_nl_add_sk_info.
tipc_nl_sk_dump calls tipc_nl_sk_walk with __tipc_nl_add_sk as argument.
sock_diag will use these generic functions in a later commit.
There is no functional change in this commit.

When changing the mtu, the max frame size also will be changed. The tx
buffer size and the rx buffer size to be allocated are determined by max
frame size. So when max frame size is changed, the tx buffer and rx buffer
need to be reallocated.
When the tc_num is changed, the tx buffer and rx buffer need to be
reallocated too. So calling set_mtu and buffer_alloc separately is better.

This patch adds a receive method to NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT netlink sockets
to allow sending uevent messages into the network namespace the socket
belongs to.
Currently non-initial network namespaces are already isolated and don't
receive uevents. There are a number of cases where it is beneficial for a
sufficiently privileged userspace process to send a uevent into a network
namespace.
One such use case would be debugging and fuzzing of a piece of software
which listens and reacts to uevents. By running a copy of that software
inside a network namespace, specific uevents could then be presented to it.
More concretely, this would allow for easy testing of udevd/ueventd.
This will also allow some piece of software to run components inside a
separate network namespace and then effectively filter what that software
can receive. Some examples of software that do directly listen to uevents
and that we have in the past attempted to run inside a network namespace
are rbd (CEPH client) or the X server.
Implementation:
The implementation has been kept as simple as possible from the kernel's
perspective. Specifically, a simple input method uevent_net_rcv() is added
to NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT sockets which completely reuses existing
af_netlink infrastructure and does neither add an additional netlink family
nor requires any user-visible changes.
For example, by using netlink_rcv_skb() we can make use of existing netlink
infrastructure to report back informative error messages to userspace.
Furthermore, this implementation does not introduce any overhead for
existing uevent generating codepaths. The struct netns got a new uevent
socket member that records the uevent socket associated with that network
namespace including its position in the uevent socket list. Since we record
the uevent socket for each network namespace in struct net we don't have to
walk the whole uevent socket list. Instead we can directly retrieve the
relevant uevent socket and send the message. At exit time we can now also
trivially remove the uevent socket from the uevent socket list. This keeps
the codepath very performant without introducing needless overhead and even
makes older codepaths faster.
Uevent sequence numbers are kept global. When a uevent message is sent to
another network namespace the implementation will simply increment the
global uevent sequence number and append it to the received uevent. This
has the advantage that the kernel will never need to parse the received
uevent message to replace any existing uevent sequence numbers. Instead it
is up to the userspace process to remove any existing uevent sequence
numbers in case the uevent message to be sent contains any.
Security:
In order for a caller to send uevent messages to a target network namespace
the caller must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the owning user namespace of the
target network namespace. Additionally, any received uevent message is
verified to not exceed size UEVENT_BUFFER_SIZE. This includes the space
needed to append the uevent sequence number.
Testing:
This patch has been tested and verified to work with the following udev
implementations:
1. CentOS 6 with udevd version 147
2. Debian Sid with systemd-udevd version 237
3. Android 7.1.1 with ueventd

This commit adds struct uevent_sock to struct net. Since struct uevent_sock
records the position of the uevent socket in the uevent socket list we can
trivially remove it from the uevent socket list during cleanup. This speeds
up the old removal codepath.
Note, list_del() will hit __list_del_entry_valid() in its call chain which
will validate that the element is a member of the list. If it isn't it will
take care that the list is not modified.

Daniel Borkmann says:
====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2018-03-21
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Add a BPF hook for sendmsg and sendfile by reusing the ULP infrastructure
and sockmap. Three helpers are added along with this, bpf_msg_apply_bytes(),
bpf_msg_cork_bytes(), and bpf_msg_pull_data(). The first is used to tell
for how many bytes the verdict should be applied to, the second to tell
that x bytes need to be queued first to retrigger the BPF program for a
verdict, and the third helper is mainly for the sendfile case to pull in
data for making it private for reading and/or writing, from John.
2) Improve address to symbol resolution of user stack traces in BPF stackmap.
Currently, the latter stores the address for each entry in the call trace,
however to map these addresses to user space files, it is necessary to
maintain the mapping from these virtual addresses to symbols in the binary
which is not practical for system-wide profiling. Instead, this option for
the stackmap rather stores the ELF build id and offset for the call trace
entries, from Song.
3) Add support that allows BPF programs attached to perf events to read the
address values recorded with the perf events. They are requested through
PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR via perf_event_open(). Main motivation behind it is to
support building memory or lock access profiling and tracing tools with
the help of BPF, from Teng.
4) Several improvements to the tools/bpf/ Makefiles. The 'make bpf' in the
tools directory does not provide the standard quiet output except for
bpftool and it also does not respect specifying a build output directory.
'make bpf_install' command neither respects specified destination nor
prefix, all from Jiri. In addition, Jakub fixes several other minor issues
in the Makefiles on top of that, e.g. fixing dependency paths, phony
targets and more.
5) Various doc updates e.g. add a comment for BPF fs about reserved names
to make the dentry lookup from there a bit more obvious, and a comment
to the bpf_devel_QA file in order to explain the diff between native
and bpf target clang usage with regards to pointer size, from Quentin
and Daniel.

====================
net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: some fixes
these patches target net-next and got approved by Andrew Lunn.
Compared to (implicit) v1, I dropped the patch that I didn't know if it
was right because of missing documentation on my side. But Andrew
already cared for that in a patch that is now adfccf118211 in net-next.
