net: sched: cls_u32 add bit to specify software only rules
In the initial implementation the only way to stop a rule from being
inserted into the hardware table was via the device feature flag.
However this doesn't work well when working on an end host system
where packets are expect to hit both the hardware and software
datapaths.
For example we can imagine a rule that will match an IP address and
increment a field. If we install this rule in both hardware and
software we may increment the field twice. To date we have only
added support for the drop action so we have been able to ignore
these cases. But as we extend the action support we will hit this
example plus more such cases. Arguably these are not even corner
cases in many working systems these cases will be common.
To avoid forcing the driver to always abort (i.e. the above example)
this patch adds a flag to add a rule in software only. A careful
user can use this flag to build software and hardware datapaths
that work together. One example we have found particularly useful
is to use hardware resources to set the skb->mark on the skb when
the match may be expensive to run in software but a mark lookup
in a hash table is cheap. The idea here is hardware can do in one
lookup what the u32 classifier may need to traverse multiple lists
and hash tables to compute. The flag is only passed down on inserts.
On deletion to avoid stale references in hardware we always try
to remove a rule if it exists.
The flags field is part of the classifier specific options. Although
it is tempting to lift this into the generic structure doing this
proves difficult do to how the tc netlink attributes are implemented
along with how the dump/change routines are called. There is also
precedence for putting seemingly generic pieces in the specific
classifier options such as TCA_U32_POLICE, TCA_U32_ACT, etc. So
although not ideal I've left FLAGS in the u32 options as well as it
simplifies the code greatly and user space has already learned how
to manage these bits ala 'tc' tool.
Another thing if trying to update a rule we require the flags to
be unchanged. This is to force user space, software u32 and
the hardware u32 to keep in sync. Thanks to Simon Horman for
catching this case.

Paolo Abeni says:
====================
bridge/ovs: avoid skb head copy on frame forwarding
Currently, while when an OVS or Linux bridge is used to forward frames towards
some tunnel device, a skb_head_copy() may occur if the ingress device do not
provide enough headroom for the tx encapsulation.
This patch series tries to address the issue implementing a new ndo operation to
allow the master device to control the headroom used when allocating the skb on
frame reception.
Said operation is used by the Linux bridge to notify the bridged ports of
needed_headroom changes, and similar bookkeeping and behaviour is also added to
openvswitch, on a per datapath basis.
Finally, the operation is implemented for veth and tun device, which give
performance improvement in the 6-12% range when forwarding frames from said
devices towards a vxlan tunnel.
v2:
- fix netdev_get_fwd_headroom() behaviour
- remove some code duplication with the netdev_set_rx_headroom() and
netdev_reset_rx_headroom() helpers
- handle headroom reset on [v]port removal/deletion
- initialize tun align to the old default value

Jon Maxwell fixes an issues where customer applications are registering
and un-registering multicast addresses every few seconds which is leading
to many "Link is up" messages in the logs as a result of the
netif_carrier_off(netdev) in igbvf_msix_other(). So remove the

The main goal of this series is to support ethtool link mode masks
larger than 32 bits. It implements a new ioctl pair
(ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS/SLINKSETTINGS), its associated callbacks
(get/set_link_ksettings) and a new struct ethtool_link_settings, which
should eventually replace legacy ethtool_cmd. Internally, the kernel
uses fixed length link mode masks defined at compilation time in
ethtool.h (for now: 31 bits), that can be increased by changing
__ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_LAST in ethtool.h (absolute max is 4064 bits,
checked at compile time), and the user/kernel interface allows this
length to be arbitrary within 1..4064. This should allow some
flexibility without using too much heap/stack space, at the cost of a
small kernel/user handshake for the user to determine the sizes of
those bitmaps.
Along the way, I chose to drop in the new structure the 3 ethtool_cmd
fields marked "deprecated" (transceiver/maxrxpkt/maxtxpkt). They are
still available for old drivers via the (old) ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET API,
but are not available to drivers that switch to new API. Of those 3
fields, ethtool_cmd::transceiver seems to be still actively used by
several drivers, maybe we should not consider this field deprecated?
The 2 other fields are basically not used. This transition requires
some care in the way old and new ethtool talk to the kernel.
More technical details provided in the description for main patch. In
particular details about backward compatibility properties.
Some open questions:
- the kernel/interface multiplexes the "tell me the bitmap length"
handshake and the "give me the settings" inside the new
ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS cmd. I was thinking of making this into 2
separate cmds: 1 cmd ETHTOOL_GKERNELPROPERTIES which would be
kernel-wide rather than device-specific, would return properties
like "length of the link mode bitmaps", and possibly others. And
ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS would expect the proper bitmaps
- the link mode bitmaps are piggybacked at tail of the new struct
ethtool_link_settings. Since its user-visible definition does not
assume specific bitmap width, I am using a 0-length array as the
publicly visible placeholder. But then, the kernel needs to
specialize it (struct ethtool_link_ksettings) to specify its
current link mode masks. This means that kernel code is "littered"
with "ksettings->base.field" to access "field" inside
ethtool_settings:
+ I could use ethtool_link_settings everywhere (instead of a new
ethtool_ksettings) and an container_of accessor (or a plain cast)
to retrieve the link mode masks?
+ or: we could decide to make the link mode masks statically
bounded again, ie. make their width public, but larger than
current 32, and unchangeable forever. This would make everything
straightforward, but we might hit limits later, or have an
unneeded memory/stack usage for unused bits.
any preference?
- I foresee bugs where people use the legacy/deprecated SUPPORTED_x
macros instead of the new ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_x_BIT enums in the new
get/set_link_ksettings callbacks. Not sure how to prevent problems
with this.
The only driver which was converted for now is mlx4. I am not
considering fcoe as fully converted, but I updated it a minima to be
able to remove __ethtool_get_settings, now known as
__ethtool_get_link_ksettings.
Tested with legacy and "future" ethtool on 64b x86 kernel and 32+64b
ethtool, and on a 32b x86 kernel + 32b ethtool.

net: ethtool: add new ETHTOOL_xLINKSETTINGS API
This patch defines a new ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS/SLINKSETTINGS API,
handled by the new get_link_ksettings/set_link_ksettings callbacks.
This API provides support for most legacy ethtool_cmd fields, adds
support for larger link mode masks (up to 4064 bits, variable length),
and removes ethtool_cmd deprecated
fields (transceiver/maxrxpkt/maxtxpkt).
This API is deprecating the legacy ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET API and provides
the following backward compatibility properties:
- legacy ethtool with legacy drivers: no change, still using the
get_settings/set_settings callbacks.
- legacy ethtool with new get/set_link_ksettings drivers: the new
driver callbacks are used, data internally converted to legacy
ethtool_cmd. ETHTOOL_GSET will return only the 1st 32b of each link
mode mask. ETHTOOL_SSET will fail if user tries to set the
ethtool_cmd deprecated fields to
non-0 (transceiver/maxrxpkt/maxtxpkt). A kernel warning is logged if
driver sets higher bits.
- future ethtool with legacy drivers: no change, still using the
get_settings/set_settings callbacks, internally converted to new data
structure. Deprecated fields (transceiver/maxrxpkt/maxtxpkt) will be
ignored and seen as 0 from user space. Note that that "future"
ethtool tool will not allow changes to these deprecated fields.
- future ethtool with new drivers: direct call to the new callbacks.
By "future" ethtool, what is meant is:
- query: first try ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS, and revert to ETHTOOL_GSET if
fails
- set: query first and remember which of ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS or
ETHTOOL_GSET was successful
+ if ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS was successful, then change config with
ETHTOOL_SLINKSETTINGS. A failure there is final (do not try
ETHTOOL_SSET).
+ otherwise ETHTOOL_GSET was successful, change config with
ETHTOOL_SSET. A failure there is final (do not try
ETHTOOL_SLINKSETTINGS).
The interaction user/kernel via the new API requires a small
ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS handshake first to agree on the length of the link
mode bitmaps. If kernel doesn't agree with user, it returns the bitmap
length it is expecting from user as a negative length (and cmd field is
0). When kernel and user agree, kernel returns valid info in all
fields (ie. link mode length > 0 and cmd is ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS).
Data structure crossing user/kernel boundary is 32/64-bit
agnostic. Converted internally to a legal kernel bitmap.
The internal __ethtool_get_settings kernel helper will gradually be
replaced by __ethtool_get_link_ksettings by the time the first
"link_settings" drivers start to appear. So this patch doesn't change
it, it will be removed before it needs to be changed.

net: Facility to report route quality of connected sockets
This patch add the SO_CNX_ADVICE socket option (setsockopt only). The
purpose is to allow an application to give feedback to the kernel about
the quality of the network path for a connected socket. The value
argument indicates the type of quality report. For this initial patch
the only supported advice is a value of 1 which indicates "bad path,
please reroute"-- the action taken by the kernel is to call
dst_negative_advice which will attempt to choose a different ECMP route,
reset the TX hash for flow label and UDP source port in encapsulation,
etc.
This facility should be useful for connected UDP sockets where only the
application can provide any feedback about path quality. It could also
be useful for TCP applications that have additional knowledge about the
path outside of the normal TCP control loop.

1) We remove the node pointer from the node lookup table before we

tipc_node_find() may obtain a valid pointer to an instance marked
for deletion; a harmless but undesirable situation.
2) We use del_timer_sync() instead of del_timer() to safely deactivate

I can only reproduce it on an i350, the above works fine on a 82580.
While inspecting the igb source, I came across the code in igb_set_vmolr
which sets the E1000_VMOLR_STRVLAN/E1000_DVMOLR_STRVLAN flags once and
for all, and in all of the igb code there's no other place where the
STRVLAN is set or cleared. Thus, VLAN stripping is enabled in igb
unconditionally, independently of the offloading setting.
I compared that to the latest Intel igb-5.3.3.5 driver from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/ which in fact sets and clears the
STRVLAN flag independently from igb_set_vmolr in its own function
igb_set_vf_vlan_strip, depending on the vlan settings.
So I included the STRVLAN handling from the igb-5.3.3.5 driver into our
current igb driver and tested the above scenario again. This time ping
still works after switching off VLAN offloading.
