net: handle error more gracefully in socketpair()
This patch makes socketpair() use error paths which do not
rely on heavy-weight call to sys_close(): it's better to try
to push the file descriptor to userspace before installing
the socket file to the file descriptor, so that errors are
catched earlier and being easier to handle.
Using sys_close() seems to be the exception, while writing the
file descriptor before installing it look like it's more or less
the norm: eg. except for code used in init/, error handling
involve fput() and put_unused_fd(), but not sys_close().
This make socketpair() usage of sys_close() quite unusual.
So it deserves to be replaced by the common pattern relying on
fput() and put_unused_fd() just like, for example, the one used
in pipe(2) or recvmsg(2).
Three distinct error paths are still needed since calling
fput() on file structure returned by sock_alloc_file() will
implicitly call sock_release() on the associated socket
structure.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates
This series contains updates to i40e, igb, ixgbe and ixgbevf.
Shannon provides a couple of i40e patches, first restricts the ethtool
diag test messages by using netif_info() macro to when the hardware
bit is enabled in the message level netdev message mask. Second
provides a fix for when there is an out-of-range descriptor request.
Kamil provides a fix for i40e by updating the loopback enum types and
add information about the current loopback mode to data returned from
get_link_info().
Jesse provides a fix for i40e define name that was being mis-used.
I40E_ITR_NONE was being used as an ITRN register index by accident
because it was easily associated with the i40e Rx ITR and friends
defines, when it should be associated with the DYN_CTL register sets.
Jacob provides an update for ixgbevf Kconfig description since the VF
driver supports more than just the 82599 device.
Don and Alex provide a cleanup patch for ixgbe to make it where head,
tail, next to clean and next to use are all reset in a single function
for both Tx and Rx path. Before, the code for this was spread out over
several areas which made it difficult to track what the values were for
each of the values.
Carolyn provides two igb patches to add a media switching feature for

Aaron Sierra provides a fix for igb to resolve an issue with the 64-bit

Guenter Roeck provides two igb patches, first simplifies the code by

mlx4_core: Roll back round robin bitmap allocation commit for CQs, SRQs, and MPTs
Commit f4ec9e9 "mlx4_core: Change bitmap allocator to work in round-robin fashion"
introduced round-robin allocation (via bitmap) for all resources which allocate
via a bitmap.
Round robin allocation is desirable for mcgs, counters, pd's, UARs, and xrcds.
These are simply numbers, with no involvement of ICM memory mapping.
Round robin is required for QPs, since we had a problem with immediate
reuse of a 24-bit QP number (commit f4ec9e9).
However, for other resources which use the bitmap allocator and involve
mapping ICM memory -- MPTs, CQs, SRQs -- round-robin is not desirable.
What happens in these cases is the following:
ICM memory is allocated and mapped in chunks of 256K.
Since the resource allocation index goes up monotonically, the allocator
will eventually require mapping a new chunk. Now, chunks are also unmapped
when their reference count goes back to zero. Thus, if a single app is
running and starts/exits frequently we will have the following situation:
When the app starts, a new chunk must be allocated and mapped.
When the app exits, the chunk reference count goes back to zero, and the
chunk is unmapped and freed. Therefore, the app must pay the cost of allocation
and mapping of ICM memory each time it runs (although the price is paid only when
allocating the initial entry in the new chunk).
For apps which allocate MPTs/SRQs/CQs and which operate as described above,
this presented a performance problem.
We therefore roll back the round-robin allocator modification for MPTs, CQs, SRQs.

This is a long standing regression. But since the patchset is bigger and
the regression happened in 2007, I'm proposing this to net-next instead.
Basically the problem is that if user wants to use /etc/sysctl.conf to specify
default values of neigh related params, he is not able to do that.
The reason is that the default values are copied to dev instance right after
netdev is registered. And that is way to early. The original behaviour
for ipv4 was that this happened after first address was assigned to device.
For ipv6 this was apparently from the very beginning.
So this patchset basically reverts the behaviour back to what it was in 2007 for
ipv4 and changes the behaviour for ipv6 so they are both the same.

xen-netback: improve guest-receive-side flow control
The way that flow control works without this patch is that, in start_xmit()
the code uses xenvif_count_skb_slots() to predict how many slots
xenvif_gop_skb() will consume and then adds this to a 'req_cons_peek'
counter which it then uses to determine if the shared ring has that amount
of space available by checking whether 'req_prod' has passed that value.
If the ring doesn't have space the tx queue is stopped.
xenvif_gop_skb() will then consume slots and update 'req_cons' and issue
responses, updating 'rsp_prod' as it goes. The frontend will consume those
responses and post new requests, by updating req_prod. So, req_prod chases
req_cons which chases rsp_prod, and can never exceed that value. Thus if
xenvif_count_skb_slots() ever returns a number of slots greater than
xenvif_gop_skb() uses, req_cons_peek will get to a value that req_prod cannot
possibly achieve (since it's limited by the 'real' req_cons) and, if this
happens enough times, req_cons_peek gets more than a ring size ahead of
req_cons and the tx queue then remains stopped forever waiting for an
unachievable amount of space to become available in the ring.
Having two routines trying to calculate the same value is always going to be
fragile, so this patch does away with that. All we essentially need to do is
make sure that we have 'enough stuff' on our internal queue without letting
it build up uncontrollably. So start_xmit() makes a cheap optimistic check
of how much space is needed for an skb and only turns the queue off if that
is unachievable. net_rx_action() is the place where we could do with an
accurate predicition but, since that has proven tricky to calculate, a cheap
worse-case (but not too bad) estimate is all we really need since the only
thing we *must* prevent is xenvif_gop_skb() consuming more slots than are
available.

tipc: remove interface state mirroring in bearer
struct 'tipc_bearer' is a generic representation of the underlying
media type, and exists in a one-to-one relationship to each interface
TIPC is using. The struct contains a 'blocked' flag that mirrors the
operational and execution state of the represented interface, and is
updated through notification calls from the latter. The users of
tipc_bearer are checking this flag before each attempt to send a
packet via the interface.
This state mirroring serves no purpose in the current code base. TIPC
links will not discover a media failure any faster through this
mechanism, and in reality the flag only adds overhead at packet
sending and reception.
Furthermore, the fact that the flag needs to be protected by a spinlock
aggregated into tipc_bearer has turned out to cause a serious and
completely unnecessary deadlock problem.
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
Time 0: bearer_disable() link_timeout()
Time 1: spin_lock_bh(&b_ptr->lock) tipc_link_push_queue()
Time 2: tipc_link_delete() tipc_bearer_blocked(b_ptr)
Time 3: k_cancel_timer(&req->timer) spin_lock_bh(&b_ptr->lock)
Time 4: del_timer_sync(&req->timer)
I.e., del_timer_sync() on CPU0 never returns, because the timer handler
on CPU1 is waiting for the bearer lock.
We eliminate the 'blocked' flag from struct tipc_bearer, along with all
tests on this flag. This not only resolves the deadlock, but also
simplifies and speeds up the data path execution of TIPC. It also fits
well into our ongoing effort to make the locking policy simpler and
more manageable.
An effect of this change is that we can get rid of functions such as
tipc_bearer_blocked(), tipc_continue() and tipc_block_bearer().
We replace the latter with a new function, tipc_reset_bearer(), which
resets all links associated to the bearer immediately after an
interface goes down.
A user might notice one slight change in link behaviour after this
change. When an interface goes down, (e.g. through a NETDEV_DOWN
event) all attached links will be reset immediately, instead of
leaving it to each link to detect the failure through a timer-driven
mechanism. We consider this an improvement, and see no obvious risks
with the new behavior.

This patch introduces a PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket option, that
allows for using a similar xmit() function as in pktgen instead
of taking the dev_queue_xmit() path. This can be very useful when
PF_PACKET applications are required to be used in a similar
scenario as pktgen, but with full, flexible packet payload that
needs to be provided, for example.
On default, nothing changes in behaviour for normal PF_PACKET
TX users, so everything stays as is for applications. New users,
however, can now set PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS if needed to prevent
own packets from i) reentering packet_rcv() and ii) to directly
push the frame to the driver.
In doing so we can increase pps (here 64 byte packets) for
PF_PACKET a bit:
[**]: qdisc path with packet_rcv(), how probably most people
seem to use it (hopefully not anymore if not needed)
The test was done using a modified trafgen, sending a simple
static 64 bytes packet, on all CPUs. The trick in the fast
"qdisc path" case, is to avoid reentering packet_rcv() by
setting the RAW socket protocol to zero, like:
socket(PF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, 0);
Tradeoffs are documented as well in this patch, clearly, if
queues are busy, we will drop more packets, tc disciplines are
ignored, and these packets are not visible to taps anymore. For
a pktgen like scenario, we argue that this is acceptable.
The pointer to the xmit function has been placed in packet
socket structure hole between cached_dev and prot_hook that
is hot anyway as we're working on cached_dev in each send path.
Done in joint work together with Jesper Dangaard Brouer.

packet: fix send path when running with proto == 0
Commit e40526cb20b5 introduced a cached dev pointer, that gets
hooked into register_prot_hook(), __unregister_prot_hook() to
update the device used for the send path.
We need to fix this up, as otherwise this will not work with
sockets created with protocol = 0, plus with sll_protocol = 0
passed via sockaddr_ll when doing the bind.
So instead, assign the pointer directly. The compiler can inline
these helper functions automagically.
While at it, also assume the cached dev fast-path as likely(),
and document this variant of socket creation as it seems it is
not widely used (seems not even the author of TX_RING was aware
of that in his reference example [1]). Tested with reproducer
from e40526cb20b5.

====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates
This series contains updates to i40e only.
Jacob provides a i40e patch to get 1588 work correctly by separating
TSYNVALID and TSYNINDX fields in the receive descriptor.
Jesse provides several i40e patches, first to correct the checking
of the multi-bit state. The hash is reported correctly in the RSS
field if and only if the filter status is 3. Other values of the
filter status mean different things and we should not depend on a
bitwise result. Then provides a patch to enable a couple of
workarounds based on revision ID that allow the driver to work
more fully on early hardware.
Shannon provides several i40e patches as well. First sets the media
type in the hardware structure based on the external connection type.
Then provides a patch to only setup the rings that will be used. Lastly
provides a fix where the TESTING state was still set when exiting the
ethtool diagnostics.
Kevin Scott provides one i40e patch to add a new flag to the i40e_add_veb()
which allows the driver to request the hardware to filter on layer 2
parameters.
Anjali provides four i40e patches, first refactors the reset code in
order to re-size queues and vectors while the interface is still up.
Then provides a patch to enable all PCTYPEs expect FCoE for RSS. Adds
a message to notify the user of how many VFs are initialized on each
port. Lastly adds a new variable to track the number of PF instances,
this is a global counter on purpose so that each PF loaded has a
unique ID.
Catherine bumps the driver version.

In order to re-size queues and vectors while the interface is
still up, we need to be able to call functions to free and

We also need to reset the existing setup, update the
configuration and then rebuild again. This requires us to have
the reset flow broken down into two parts.
