Fix the use of nents and orig_nents in the sg table append helpers. The nents should be used by the DMA layer to store the number of DMA mapped sges, the orig_nents is the number of CPU sges.
Since the sg append logic doesn't always create a SGL with exactly orig_nents entries store a total_nents as well to allow the table to be properly free'd and reorganize the freeing logic to share across all the use cases.

Pull networking fixes from Jakub Kicinski. "Including fixes from bpf and netfilter.
Current release - regressions:
- sock: fix parameter order in sock_setsockopt()
Current release - new code bugs:
- netfilter: nft_last: - fix incorrect arithmetic when restoring last used - honor NFTA_LAST_SET on restoration
Previous releases - regressions:
- udp: properly flush normal packet at GRO time
- sfc: ensure correct number of XDP queues; don't allow enabling the feature if there isn't sufficient resources to Tx from any CPU
- dsa: sja1105: fix address learning getting disabled on the CPU port
- mptcp: addresses a rmem accounting issue that could keep packets in subflow receive buffers longer than necessary, delaying MPTCP-level ACKs
- ip_tunnel: fix mtu calculation for ETHER tunnel devices
- do not reuse skbs allocated from skbuff_fclone_cache in the napi skb cache, we'd try to return them to the wrong slab cache
- tcp: consistently disable header prediction for mptcp
Previous releases - always broken:
- bpf: fix subprog poke descriptor tracking use-after-free
- ipv6: - allocate enough headroom in ip6_finish_output2() in case iptables TEE is used - tcp: drop silly ICMPv6 packet too big messages to avoid expensive and pointless lookups (which may serve as a DDOS vector) - make sure fwmark is copied in SYNACK packets - fix 'disable_policy' for forwarded packets (align with IPv4)
- netfilter: conntrack: - do not renew entry stuck in tcp SYN_SENT state - do not mark RST in the reply direction coming after SYN packet for an out-of-sync entry
- mptcp: cleanly handle error conditions with MP_JOIN and syncookies
- mptcp: fix double free when rejecting a join due to port mismatch
- validate lwtstate->data before returning from skb_tunnel_info()
- tcp: call sk_wmem_schedule before sk_mem_charge in zerocopy path
- mt76: mt7921: continue to probe driver when fw already downloaded
- bonding: fix multiple issues with offloading IPsec to (thru?) bond
- stmmac: ptp: fix issues around Qbv support and setting time back
- bcmgenet: always clear wake-up based on energy detection
Misc:
- sctp: move 198 addresses from unusable to private scope
- ptp: support virtual clocks and timestamping
- openvswitch: optimize operation for key comparison"

Merge branch 'sctp-packetization-path-MTU'
Xin Long says:
==================== sctp: implement RFC8899: Packetization Layer Path MTU Discovery for SCTP transport
Overview(From RFC8899):
In contrast to PMTUD, Packetization Layer Path MTU Discovery (PLPMTUD) [RFC4821] introduces a method that does not rely upon reception and validation of PTB messages. It is therefore more robust than Classical PMTUD. This has become the recommended approach for implementing discovery of the PMTU [BCP145].
It uses a general strategy in which the PL sends probe packets to search for the largest size of unfragmented datagram that can be sent over a network path. Probe packets are sent to explore using a larger packet size. If a probe packet is successfully delivered (as determined by the PL), then the PLPMTU is raised to the size of the successful probe. If a black hole is detected (e.g., where packets of size PLPMTU are consistently not received), the method reduces the PLPMTU.
SCTP Probe Packets:
As the RFC suggested, the probe packets consist of an SCTP common header followed by a HEARTBEAT chunk and a PAD chunk. The PAD chunk is used to control the length of the probe packet. The HEARTBEAT chunk is used to trigger the sending of a HEARTBEAT ACK chunk to confirm this probe on the HEARTBEAT sender.
The HEARTBEAT chunk also carries a Heartbeat Information parameter that includes the probe size to help an implementation associate a HEARTBEAT ACK with the size of probe that was sent. The sender use the nonce and the probe size to verify the information returned.
Detailed Implementation on SCTP:
+------+ +------->| Base |-----------------+ Connectivity | +------+ | or BASE_PLPMTU | | | confirmation failed | | v | | Connectivity +-------+ | | and BASE_PLPMTU | Error | | | confirmed +-------+ | | | Consistent | v | connectivity Black Hole | +--------+ | and BASE_PLPMTU detected | | Search |<---------------+ confirmed | +--------+ | ^ | | | | | Raise | | Search | timer | | algorithm | expired | | completed | | | | | v | +-----------------+ +---| Search Complete | +-----------------+
When PLPMTUD is enabled, it's in Base state, and starts to probe with BASE_PLPMTU (1200). If this probe succeeds, it goes to Search state; If this probe fails, it goes to Error state under which pl.pmtu goes down to MIN_PLPMTU (512) and keeps probing with BASE_PLPMTU until it succeeds and goes to Search state.
During the Search state, the probe size is growing by a Big step (32) every time when the last probe succeeds at the beginning. Once a probe (such as 1420) fails after trying MAX_PROBES (3) times, the probe_size goes back to the last one (1420 - 32 = 1388), meanwhile 'probe_high' is set to 1420 and the growing step becomes a Small one (4). Then the probe is continuing with a Small step grown each round. Until it gets the optimal size (such as 1400) when probe with its next probe size (1404) fails, it sync this size to pathmtu and goes to Complete state.
In Complete state, it will only does a probe check for the pathmtu just set, if it fails, which means a Black Hole is detected and it goes back to Base state. If it succeeds, it goes back to Search state again, and probe is continuing with growing a Small step (1400 + 4). If this probe fails, probe_high is set and goes back to 1388 and then Complete state, which is kind of a loop normally. However if the env's pathmtu changes to a big size somehow, this probe will succeed and then probe continues with growing a Big step (1400 + 32) each round until another probe fails.
PTB Messages Process:
PLPMTUD doesn't rely on these package to find the pmtu, and shouldn't trust it either. When processing them, it only changes the probe_size to PL_PTB_SIZE(info - hlen) if 'pl.pmtu < PL_PTB_SIZE < the current probe_size' druing Search state. As this could help probe_size to get to the optimal size faster, for exmaple:
pl.pmtu = 1388, probe_size = 1420, while the env's pathmtu = 1400. When probe_size is 1420, a Toobig packet with 1400 comes back. If probe size changes to use 1400, it will save quite a few rounds to get there. But of course after having this value, PLPMTUD will still verify it on its own before using it.
Patches:
- Patch 1-6: introduce some new constants/variables from the RFC, systcl and members in transport, APIs for the following patches, chunks and a timer for the probe sending and some codes for the probe receiving.
- Patch 7-9: implement the state transition on the tx path, rx path and toobig ICMP packet processing. This is the main algorithm part.
- Patch 10: activate this feature
- Patch 11-14: improve the process for ICMP packets for SCTP over UDP, so that it can also be covered by this feature.
Tests:
- do sysctl and setsockopt tests for this feature's enabling and disabling.
- get these pr_debug points for this feature by # cat /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control | grep PLP and enable them on kernel dynamic debug, then play with the pathmtu and check if the state transition and plpmtu change match the RFC.
- do the above tests for SCTP over IPv4/IPv6 and SCTP over UDP.
