net: filter: add a callback to allow classic post-verifier transformations
This is in preparation for use by the seccomp code, the rationale is
not to duplicate additional code within the seccomp layer, but instead,
have it abstracted and hidden within the classic BPF API.
As an interim step, this now also makes bpf_prepare_filter() visible
(not as exported symbol though), so that seccomp can reuse that code
path instead of reimplementing it.

====================
Lots of updates for net-next for this cycle. As usual, we have
a lot of small fixes and cleanups, the bigger items are:
* proper mac80211 rate control locking, to fix some random crashes
(this required changing other locking as well)
* mac80211 "fast-xmit", a mechanism to reduce, in most cases, the
amount of code we execute while going from ndo_start_xmit() to

tcp: add TCPWinProbe and TCPKeepAlive SNMP counters

TCPWinProbe counts the number of ACK packets a sender has to send

tcp: adjust window probe timers to safer values
With the advent of small rto timers in datacenter TCP,
(ip route ... rto_min x), the following can happen :
1) Qdisc is full, transmit fails.
TCP sets a timer based on icsk_rto to retry the transmit, without
exponential backoff.
With low icsk_rto, and lot of sockets, all cpus are servicing timer
interrupts like crazy.
Intent of the code was to retry with a timer between 200 (TCP_RTO_MIN)
and 500ms (TCP_RESOURCE_PROBE_INTERVAL)
2) Receivers can send zero windows if they don't drain their receive queue.
TCP sends zero window probes, based on icsk_rto current value, with
exponential backoff.
With /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_retries2 being 15 (or even smaller in
some cases), sender can abort in less than one or two minutes !
If receiver stops the sender, it obviously doesn't care of very tight
rto. Probability of dropping the ACK reopening the window is not
worth the risk.
Lets change the base timer to be at least 200ms (TCP_RTO_MIN) for these
events (but not normal RTO based retransmits)
A followup patch adds a new SNMP counter, as it would have helped a lot
diagnosing this issue.

====================
be2net: patch-set
The following patch-set has two new feature additions, and a few
minor fixes and cleanups.
Pls consider applying to the net-next tree. Thanks.
v2 changes:
a) dropped the "don't enable pause by default" patch
b) described how the "spoof check" works in patch 1's commit log
c) I had to update our email addresses from "@emulex" to
"@avagotech". I'll send a separate patch updating the
maintainers
Patch 1 adds support for the "spoofchk" knob for VFs.
When it is enabled, "spoof checking" is done for both MAC-address
and VLAN. For each VF, the HW ensures that the source MAC address
(or vlan) of every outgoing packet of the VF exists in the MAC-list
(or vlan-list) configured for RX filtering for that VF.
If not, the packet is dropped and an error is reported to the driver
in the TX completion.
Patch 2 improves interrupt moderation on Skyhawk-R chip by using
the EQ-DB mechanism to set a "re-arm to interrupt" delay. Currently
interrupt moderation is adjusted by calculating and configuring an
EQ-delay every second. This is done via a FW-cmd. This patch uses
the EQ_DB facility to calculate and set the interrupt delay every 1ms.
This helps moderating interrupts better when the traffic is bursty.
Patch 3 adds L3/L4 error accounting to BE3 VFs, by passing L3/4 error
packets to the network stack.
Patch 4 adds an extra FW-cmd error value check in the driver to identify
an "out of vlan filters" scenario.
Patch 5 stops enabling pause by default as this setting fails in
some HW-configs where priority pause is enabled in FW. If the user
tries to do the same, an appropriate error is returned via ethtool.
Patch 5 posts the full RXQ in be_open() to prevent packet drops due to
bursty traffic when the interface is enabled.
Patch 6 refactors the be_check_ufi_compatibility() routine, that checks
to see if a UFI file meant for a lower rev of a chip is being flashed
on a higher rev, to make it simpler.
Patch 7 replaces the usage of !be_physfn() macro with be_virtfn()
that is already avialble in the driver.
Patch 8 updates the year in the copyright text to 2015.
Path 9 bumps up the driver version to 10.6.02.

We return success as it's up to the primary PF to deal with asserts.

worrying about sensor data is the primary PF's job.
3) phy_op->reconfigure() in efx_init_port() and efx_reset_up()
Unprivileged functions aren't allowed to MC_CMD_SET_LINK, they just have
to accept the settings (including flow-control, which is what
efx_init_port() is worried about) they've been given.
4) Fallback to GET_WORKAROUNDS in efx_ef10_probe()
Unprivileged PCI functions aren't allowed to set workarounds. So if
efx_mcdi_set_workaround() fails EPERM, use efx_mcdi_get_workarounds()
to find out if workaround_35388 is enabled.

Unprivileged PCI functions have to use a FIRMWARE_ID of 0xffffffff

Previously we called efx_mcdi_exit_assertion even if
efx_mcdi_read_assertion had received MC_CMD_GET_ASSERTS_FLAGS_NO_FAILS.
This is unnecessary, and the resulting MC_CMD_REBOOT, even if the

The parent PF also assigns a mac address to its own vport because
implicit creation of a vAdaptor will only work on evb ports with

The vport MAC address needs to be stored in the PF's nic_data

A new flag is needed in the VF data structure to identify whether

The AXI-DMA rx-delay interrupt can sometimes be triggered
when there are 0 outstanding packets received. This is due
to the fact that the receive function will greedily consume
as many packets as possible on interrupt. So if two packets
(with a very particular timing) arrive in succession they
will each cause the rx-delay interrupt, but the first interrupt
will consume both packets.
This means the second interrupt is a 0 packet receive.
This is mostly OK, except that the tail pointer register is
updated unconditionally on receive. Currently the tail pointer
is always set to the current bd-ring descriptor under
the assumption that the hardware has moved onto the next
descriptor. What this means for length 0 recv is the current
descriptor that the hardware is potentially yet to use will
be marked as the tail. This causes the hardware to think
its run out of descriptors deadlocking the whole rx path.
Fixed by updating the tail pointer to the most recent
successfully consumed descriptor.

drain, the broadcast bit in multicast filter was only set when the interface

no addresses configured; this logic did not work and it wouldn't allow
DHCPv4 to work. The only way was to add protocol specific hacks to avoid
processing unnecessary broadcast burdon.
This jugglery could be avoided if these multicast / broadcast packets are taken

broadcast bit in all multicast filters without any impact on performance of

Add eth_proto_is_802_3 to provide improved means of checking Ethertype
This patch series implements and makes use of eth_proto_is_802_3(). The
idea behind the function is to provide an optimized means of testing to
determine if a given Ethertype value is a length or 802.3 protocol number.
The standard path for this was to use ntohs(proto) and then perform a
comparison. This adds a slight cost as it usually requires either a 16b

processor.
I had previously addressed this for eth_type_trans, however in doing so I had
overlooked checking with sparse and had introduced a couple sparse warnings.

Also I realized on some compilers I was generating another instruction for

doing the comparison. So to resolve that I have simply pulled the mask out
and wrapped it in an #ifndef __BIG_ENDIAN.
