this is due to snmp_mib_free() is defined when CONFIG_INET is enabled,

This patch allow setting the default queueing discipline with sysctl.
This allows easy use of better queueing disciplines on all devices
without having to use tc qdisc scripts. It is intended to allow
an easy path for distributions to make fq_codel or sfq the default
qdisc.
This patch also makes pfifo_fast more of a first class qdisc, since
it is now possible to manually override the default and explicitly
use pfifo_fast. The behavior for systems who do not use the sysctl
is unchanged, they still get pfifo_fast
Also removes leftover random # in sysctl net core.

tcp: do not use cached RTT for RTT estimation
RTT cached in the TCP metrics are valuable for the initial timeout
because SYN RTT usually does not account for serialization delays
on low BW path.
However using it to seed the RTT estimator maybe disruptive because
other components (e.g., pacing) require the smooth RTT to be obtained
from actual connection.
The solution is to use the higher cached RTT to set the first RTO
conservatively like tcp_rtt_estimator(), but avoid seeding the other
RTT estimator variables such as srtt. It is also a good idea to
keep RTO conservative to obtain the first RTT sample, and the
performance is insured by TCP loss probe if SYN RTT is available.
To keep the seeding formula consistent across SYN RTT and cached RTT,
the rttvar is twice the cached RTT instead of cached RTTVAR value. The
reason is because cached variation may be too small (near min RTO)
which defeats the purpose of being conservative on first RTO. However
the metrics still keep the RTT variations as they might be useful for

pkt_sched: fq: Fair Queue packet scheduler
- Uses perfect flow match (not stochastic hash like SFQ/FQ_codel)
- Uses the new_flow/old_flow separation from FQ_codel
- New flows get an initial credit allowing IW10 without added delay.
- Special FIFO queue for high prio packets (no need for PRIO + FQ)
- Uses a hash table of RB trees to locate the flows at enqueue() time
- Smart on demand gc (at enqueue() time, RB tree lookup evicts old
unused flows)
- Dynamic memory allocations.
- Designed to allow millions of concurrent flows per Qdisc.
- Small memory footprint : ~8K per Qdisc, and 104 bytes per flow.
- Single high resolution timer for throttled flows (if any).
- One RB tree to link throttled flows.
- Ability to have a max rate per flow. We might add a socket option
to add per socket limitation.
Attempts have been made to add TCP pacing in TCP stack, but this
seems to add complex code to an already complex stack.
TCP pacing is welcomed for flows having idle times, as the cwnd
permits TCP stack to queue a possibly large number of packets.
This removes the 'slow start after idle' choice, hitting badly
large BDP flows, and applications delivering chunks of data
as video streams.
Nicely spaced packets :
Here interface is 10Gbit, but flow bottleneck is ~20Mbit
cwin is big, yet FQ avoids the typical bursts generated by TCP
(as in netperf TCP_RR -- -r 100000,100000)

TCP timestamps show that most packets from B were queued in the same ms
timeframe (TSval 1159799{3,4}), but FQ managed to send them right
in time to avoid a big burst.
In slow start or steady state, very few packets are throttled [1]
FQ gets a bunch of tunables as :
limit : max number of packets on whole Qdisc (default 10000)
flow_limit : max number of packets per flow (default 100)
quantum : the credit per RR round (default is 2 MTU)
initial_quantum : initial credit for new flows (default is 10 MTU)
maxrate : max per flow rate (default : unlimited)
buckets : number of RB trees (default : 1024) in hash table.
(consumes 8 bytes per bucket)
[no]pacing : disable/enable pacing (default is enable)
[1] Except if initial srtt is overestimated, as if using
cached srtt in tcp metrics. We'll provide a fix for this issue.

Merge branch 'bond_vlan'
Veaceslav Falico says:
====================
bonding: remove vlan special handling
v1: Per Jiri's advice, remove the exported netdev_upper struct to keep it
inside dev.c only, and instead implement a macro to iterate over the
list and return only net_device *.
v2: Jiri noted that we need to see every upper device, but not only the
first level. Modify the netdev_upper logic to include a list of lower
devices and for both upper/lower lists every device would see both its
first-level devices and every other devices that is lower/upper of it.
Also, convert some annoying spamming warnings to pr_debug in
bond_arp_send_all.
v3: move renaming part completely to patch 1 (did I forget to git add
before commiting?) and address Jiri's input about comments/style of
patch 2.
v4: as Vlad found spotted, bond_arp_send_all() won't work in a config where
we have a device with ip on top of our upper vlan. It fails to send
packets because we don't tag the packet, while the device on top of
vlan will emit tagged packets through this vlan. Fix this by first
searching for all upper vlans, and for each vlan - for the devs on top
of it. If we find the dev - then tag the packet with the underling's
vlan_id, otherwise just search the old way - for all devices on top of
bonding. Also, move the version changes under "---" so they won't get
into the commit message, if/when applied.
The aim of this patchset is to remove bondings' own vlan handling as much
as possible and replace it with the netdev upper device functionality.
The upper device functionality is extended to include also lower devices
and to have, for each device, a full view of every lower and upper device,
but not only the first-level ones. This might permit in the future to
avoid, for any grouping/teaming/upper/lower devices, to maintain its own
lists of slaves/vlans/etc.
This is achieved by adding a helper function to upper dev list handling -
netdev_upper_get_next_dev(dev, iter), which returns the next device after
the list_head **iter, and sets *iter to the next list_head *. This patchset
also adds netdev_for_each_upper_dev(dev, upper, iter), which iterates
through the whole dev->upper_dev_list, setting upper to the net_device.
The only special treatment of vlans remains in rlb code.
This patchset solves several issues with bonding, simplifies it overall,
RCUify further and exports upper list functions for any other users which
might also want to get rid of its own vlan_lists or slaves.
I'm testing it continuously currently, no issues found, will update on
anything.

Currently, if there are vlans on top of bond, alb_send_learning_packets()
will never send LPs from the bond itself (i.e. untagged), which might leave
untagged clients unupdated.
Also, the 'circular vlan' logic (i.e. update only MAX_LP_BURST vlans at a
time, and save the last vlan for the next update) is really suboptimal - in
case of lots of vlans it will take a lot of time to update every vlan. It
is also never called in any hot path and sends only a few small packets -
thus the optimization by itself is useless.
So remove the whole current_alb_vlan/MAX_LP_BURST logic from
alb_send_learning_packets(). Instead, we'll first send a packet untagged
and then traverse the upper dev list, sending a tagged packet for each vlan
found. Also, remove the MAX_LP_BURST define - we already don't need it.

net: add lower_dev_list to net_device and make a full mesh
This patch adds lower_dev_list list_head to net_device, which is the same
as upper_dev_list, only for lower devices, and begins to use it in the same
way as the upper list.
It also changes the way the whole adjacent device lists work - now they
contain *all* of upper/lower devices, not only the first level. The first
level devices are distinguished by the bool neighbour field in
netdev_adjacent, also added by this patch.
There are cases when a device can be added several times to the adjacent
list, the simplest would be:
where both bond0 and eth0 'see' each other in the adjacent lists two times.
To avoid duplication of netdev_adjacent structures ref_nr is being kept as
the number of times the device was added to the list.
The 'full view' is achieved by adding, on link creation, all of the
upper_dev's upper_dev_list devices as upper devices to all of the
lower_dev's lower_dev_list devices (and to the lower_dev itself), and vice
versa. On unlink they are removed using the same logic.
I've tested it with thousands vlans/bonds/bridges, everything works ok and
no observable lags even on a huge number of interfaces.
Memory footprint for 128 devices interconnected with each other via both
upper and lower (which is impossible, but for the comparison) lists would be:
128*128*2*sizeof(netdev_adjacent) = 1.5MB
but in the real world we usualy have at most several devices with slaves
and a lot of vlans, so the footprint will be much lower.

Merge branch 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/net-next
Jeff Kirsher says:
====================
This series contains updates to ixgbe.
Jacob provides a fix for 82599 devices where it can potentially keep link
lights up when the adapter has gone down.
Mark provides a fix to resolve the possible use of uninitialized memory
by checking the return value on EEPROM reads.
Don provides 2 patches, one to fix a issue where we were traversing the
Tx ring with the value of IXGBE_NUM_RX_QUEUES which currently happens
to have the correct value but this is misleading. A change later, could
easily make this no longer correct so when traversing the Tx ring, use
netdev->num_tx_queues. His second patch does some minor clean ups of log
messages.
Emil provides the remaining ixgbe patches. First he fixes the link test
where forcing the laser before the link check can lead to inconsistent
results because it does not guarantee that the link will be negotiated
correctly. Then he initializes the message buffer array to 0 in order
to avoid using random numbers from the memory as a MAC address for the
VF. Emil also fixes the read loop for the I2C data to account for the
offset for SFP+ modules. Lastly, Emil provides several patches to add
support for QSFP modules where 1Gbps support is added as well as support
for older QSFP active direct attach cables which pre-date SFF-8436 v3.6.
v2: Fixed patch 4 description and added blank line based on feedback from
Sergei Shtylyov

net: sctp: sctp_verify_init: clean up mandatory checks and add comment
Add a comment related to RFC4960 explaning why we do not check for initial
TSN, and while at it, remove yoda notation checks and clean up code from
checks of mandatory conditions. That's probably just really minor, but makes
reviewing easier.

tcp: TSO packets automatic sizing
After hearing many people over past years complaining against TSO being
bursty or even buggy, we are proud to present automatic sizing of TSO
packets.
One part of the problem is that tcp_tso_should_defer() uses an heuristic
relying on upcoming ACKS instead of a timer, but more generally, having
big TSO packets makes little sense for low rates, as it tends to create
micro bursts on the network, and general consensus is to reduce the
buffering amount.
This patch introduces a per socket sk_pacing_rate, that approximates
the current sending rate, and allows us to size the TSO packets so
that we try to send one packet every ms.
This field could be set by other transports.
Patch has no impact for high speed flows, where having large TSO packets
makes sense to reach line rate.
For other flows, this helps better packet scheduling and ACK clocking.
This patch increases performance of TCP flows in lossy environments.
A new sysctl (tcp_min_tso_segs) is added, to specify the
minimal size of a TSO packet (default being 2).
A follow-up patch will provide a new packet scheduler (FQ), using
sk_pacing_rate as an input to perform optional per flow pacing.
This explains why we chose to set sk_pacing_rate to twice the current
rate, allowing 'slow start' ramp up.
sk_pacing_rate = 2 * cwnd * mss / srtt
v2: Neal Cardwell reported a suspect deferring of last two segments on
initial write of 10 MSS, I had to change tcp_tso_should_defer() to take
into account tp->xmit_size_goal_segs
