The net/core/dev.c conflict was the overlap of one commit marking an
existing function static whilst another was adding a new function.
In the include/linux/if_vlan.h case, the type used for a local
variable was changed in 'net', whereas the function got rewritten
to fix a stacked vlan bug in 'net-next'.
In drivers/vhost/net.c, Al Viro's iov_iter conversions in 'net-next'
overlapped with an endainness fix for VHOST 1.0 in 'net'.
In drivers/net/vxlan.c, vxlan_find_vni() added a 'flags' parameter
in 'net-next' whereas in 'net' there was a bug fix to pass in the
correct network namespace pointer in calls to this function.

pkt_sched: fq: better control of DDOS traffic
FQ has a fast path for skb attached to a socket, as it does not
have to compute a flow hash. But for other packets, FQ being non
stochastic means that hosts exposed to random Internet traffic
can allocate million of flows structure (104 bytes each) pretty
easily. Not only host can OOM, but lookup in RB trees can take
too much cpu and memory resources.
This patch adds a new attribute, orphan_mask, that is adding
possibility of having a stochastic hash for orphaned skb.
Its default value is 1024 slots, to mimic SFQ behavior.
Note: This does not apply to locally generated TCP traffic,
and no locally generated traffic will share a flow structure
with another perfect or stochastic flow.
This patch also handles the specific case of SYNACK messages:
They are attached to the listener socket, and therefore all map
to a single hash bucket. If listener have set SO_MAX_PACING_RATE,
hoping to have new accepted socket inherit this rate, SYNACK
might be paced and even dropped.
This is very similar to an internal patch Google have used more
than one year.

tcp: do not pace pure ack packets
When we added pacing to TCP, we decided to let sch_fq take care
of actual pacing.
All TCP had to do was to compute sk->pacing_rate using simple formula:
sk->pacing_rate = 2 * cwnd * mss / rtt
It works well for senders (bulk flows), but not very well for receivers
or even RPC :
cwnd on the receiver can be less than 10, rtt can be around 100ms, so we
can end up pacing ACK packets, slowing down the sender.
Really, only the sender should pace, according to its own logic.
Instead of adding a new bit in skb, or call yet another flow
dissection, we tweak skb->truesize to a small value (2), and
we instruct sch_fq to use new helper and not pace pure ack.
Note this also helps TCP small queue, as ack packets present
in qdisc/NIC do not prevent sending a data packet (RPC workload)
This helps to reduce tx completion overhead, ack packets can use regular
sock_wfree() instead of tcp_wfree() which is a bit more expensive.
This has no impact in the case packets are sent to loopback interface,
as we do not coalesce ack packets (were we would detect skb->truesize
lie)
In case netem (with a delay) is used, skb_orphan_partial() also sets
skb->truesize to 1.
This patch is a combination of two patches we used for about one year at
Google.

====================
Add HA and LAG support to mlx4 RoCE and SRIOV services
This series takes advanges of bonding mlx4 Ethernet devices to support
a model of High-Availability and Link Aggregation for more environments.
The mlx4 driver reacts on netdev events generated by bonding when
slave state changes happen by programming a HW V2P (Virt-to-Phys)
port table. Bonding was extended to expose these state changes
through netdev events.
When an mlx4 interface such as the mlx4 IB/RoCE driver is subject to
this policy, QPs are created over virtual ports which are mapped
to one of the two physical ports. When a failure happens, the
re-programming of the V2P table allows traffic to keep flowing.
The mlx4 Ethernet driver interfaces are not subject to this
policy and act as usual.
A 2nd use-case for this model would be to add HA and Link Aggregation
support to single ported mlx4 Ethernet VFs. In this case, the PF Ethernet
intrfaces are bonded, all the VFs see single port devices (which is
supported already today), and VF QPs are subject to V2P.

tipc: separate link starting event from link timeout event
When a new link instance is created, it is trigged to start by
sending it a TIPC_STARTING_EVT, whereafter a regular link
reset is applied to it.
The starting event is codewise treated as a timeout event, and prompts
a link RESET message to be sent to the peer node, carrying a link
session identifier. The later link_reset() call nudges this session
identifier, whereafter all subsequent RESET messages will be sent out
with the new identifier. The latter session number overrides the former,
causing the peer to unconditionally accept it irrespective of its
current working state.
We don't think that this causes any problem, but it is not in accordance
with the protocol spec, and may cause confusion when debugging TIPC
sessions.
To avoid this, we make the starting event distinct from the
subsequent timeout events, by not allowing the former to send
out any RESET message. This eliminates the described problem.

We fix this by making lookup and potential creation of nodes atomic.
Instead of first looking up the node, and in case of failure, create it,

tipc: avoid stale link after aborted failover
During link failover it may happen that the remaining link goes
down while it is still in the process of taking over traffic
from a previously failed link. When this happens, we currently
abort the failover procedure and reset the first failed link to
non-failover mode, so that it will be ready to re-establish
contact with its peer when it comes available.
However, if the first link goes down because its bearer was manually
disabled, it is not enough to reset it; it must also be deleted;
which is supposed to happen when the failover procedure is finished.
Otherwise it will remain a zombie link: attached to the owner node
structure, in mode LINK_STOPPED, and permanently blocking any re-
establishing of the link to the peer via the interface in question.
We fix this by amending the failover abort procedure. Apart from
resetting the link to non-failover state, we test if the link is
also in LINK_STOPPED mode. If so, we delete it, using the conditional
tipc_link_delete() function introduced in the previous commit.

tipc: add reference count to struct tipc_link
When a bearer is disabled, all pertaining links will be reset and
deleted. However, if there is a second active link towards a killed
link's destination, the delete has to be postponed until the failover
is finished. During this interval, we currently put the link in zombie
mode, i.e., we take it out of traffic, delete its timer, but leave it
attached to the owner node structure until all missing packets have
been received. When this is done, we detach the link from its node
and delete it, assuming that the synchronous timer deletion that was
initiated earlier in a different thread has finished.
This is unsafe, as the failover may finish before del_timer_sync()
has returned in the other thread.
We fix this by adding an atomic reference counter of type kref in
struct tipc_link. The counter keeps track of the references kept
to the link by the owner node and the timer. We then do a conditional
delete, based on the reference counter, both after the failover has
been finished and when the timer expires, if applicable. Whoever
comes last, will actually delete the link. This approach also implies
that we can make the deletion of the timer asynchronous.

xps: fix xps for stacked devices
A typical qdisc setup is the following :
bond0 : bonding device, using HTB hierarchy
eth1/eth2 : slaves, multiqueue NIC, using MQ + FQ qdisc
XPS allows to spread packets on specific tx queues, based on the cpu
doing the send.
Problem is that dequeues from bond0 qdisc can happen on random cpus,
due to the fact that qdisc_run() can dequeue a batch of packets.
CPUA -> queue packet P1 on bond0 qdisc, P1->ooo_okay=1
CPUA -> queue packet P2 on bond0 qdisc, P2->ooo_okay=0
CPUB -> dequeue packet P1 from bond0
enqueue packet on eth1/eth2
CPUC -> dequeue packet P2 from bond0
enqueue packet on eth1/eth2 using sk cache (ooo_okay is 0)
get_xps_queue() then might select wrong queue for P1, since current cpu
might be different than CPUA.
P2 might be sent on the old queue (stored in sk->sk_tx_queue_mapping),
if CPUC runs a bit faster (or CPUB spins a bit on qdisc lock)
Effect of this bug is TCP reorders, and more generally not optimal
TX queue placement. (A victim bulk flow can be migrated to the wrong TX
queue for a while)
To fix this, we have to record sender cpu number the first time
dev_queue_xmit() is called for one tx skb.
We can union napi_id (used on receive path) and sender_cpu,
granted we clear sender_cpu in skb_scrub_packet() (credit to Willem for
this union idea)

Turned off UFO support to virtio-net based devices due to issues
with IPv6 fragment id generation for UFO packets. The issue
was that IPv6 UFO/GSO implementation expects the fragment id
to be supplied in skb_shinfo(). However, for packets generated
by the VMs, the fragment id is not supplied which causes all
IPv6 fragments to have the id of 0.
The problem is that turning off UFO support on tap/macvtap
as well as virtio devices caused issues with migrations.
Migrations would fail when moving a vm from a kernel supporting
expecting UFO to work to the newer kernels that disabled UFO.
This series provides a partial solution to address the migration
issue. The series allows us to track whether skb_shinfo()->ip6_frag_id
has been set by treating value of 0 as unset.
This lets GSO code to generate fragment ids if they are necessary
(ex: packet was generated by VM or packet socket).
Since v3:
- Resolved build issue when IPv6 is a module.
- Removed trailing white space.
Since v2:
- Rebase and rebuild to make sure everything works. No changes
to the patches were done.
Since v1:
- Removed the skb bit and use value of 0 as tracker.
- Used Eric's suggestion to set fragment id as 0x80000000 if id
generation procedure yeilded a 0 result.
- Consolidated ipv6 id genration code.
