====================
Fix Tunnel features and enable GSO partial for several drivers
This patch series is meant to allow us to get the best performance possible
for Mellanox ConnectX-3/4 and Broadcom NetXtreme-C/E adapters in terms of
VXLAN and GRE tunnels.
The first 3 patches address issues I found in regards to GSO_PARTIAL and
TSO_MANGLEID.
The next 4 patches go through and enable GSO_PARTIAL for VXLAN tunnels that
have an outer checksum enabled, and then enable IPv6 support where I can.
One outstanding issue is that I wasn't able to get offloads working with
outer IPv6 headers on mlx4. However that wasn't a feature that was enabled
before so it isn't technically a regression, however I believe Engineers
from Mellanox said they would look into it since they thought it should be
supported.
The last patch enables GSO_PARTIAL for VXLAN and GRE tunnels on the bnxt
driver. One piece of feedback I received on the patch was that the
hardware has globally set IPv6 UDP tunnels to always have the checksum
field computed. I plan to work with Broadcom to get that addressed so that
we only populate the checksum field if it was requested by the network
stack.
v2: Rebased patches off of latest changes to the mlx4/mlx5 drivers.
Added bnxt driver patch as I received feedback on the RFC.
v3: Moved 2 patches into series for net as they were generic fixes.
Added patch to disable GSO partial if frame is less than 2x size of MSS
There are outstanding issues as called out above that need to be
addressed, however they were present before these patches so it isn't
as if they introduce a regression. In addition gains can be easily
seen so there should be no issue with applying the driver patches while
the IPv6 mlx4_en and bnxt issues are being researched.

by commit
241b271952eb ("RDS-TCP: Reset tcp callbacks if re-using an

Specifically, we may end up derefencing a null pointer in rds_send_xmit

rds_tcp_accept_one rds_send_xmit
conn is RDS_CONN_UP, so
invoke rds_tcp_xmit
tc = conn->c_transport_data
rds_tcp_restore_callbacks
/* reset t_sock */
null ptr deref from tc->t_sock
The race condition can be avoided without adding the overhead of
additional locking in the xmit path: have rds_tcp_accept_one wait
for rds_tcp_xmit threads to complete before resetting callbacks.
The synchronization can be done in the same manner as rds_conn_shutdown().
First set the rds_conn_state to something other than RDS_CONN_UP
(so that new threads cannot get into rds_tcp_xmit()), then wait for
RDS_IN_XMIT to be cleared in the conn->c_flags indicating that any
threads in rds_tcp_xmit are done.

addition to the checksum offload features when we find that a device cannot
perform a checksum on a given packet type.

tipc: redesign connection-level flow control
There are two flow control mechanisms in TIPC; one at link level that
handles network congestion, burst control, and retransmission, and one
at connection level which' only remaining task is to prevent overflow
in the receiving socket buffer. In TIPC, the latter task has to be
solved end-to-end because messages can not be thrown away once they
have been accepted and delivered upwards from the link layer, i.e, we
can never permit the receive buffer to overflow.
Currently, this algorithm is message based. A counter in the receiving
socket keeps track of number of consumed messages, and sends a dedicated
acknowledge message back to the sender for each 256 consumed message.
A counter at the sending end keeps track of the sent, not yet
acknowledged messages, and blocks the sender if this number ever reaches
512 unacknowledged messages. When the missing acknowledge arrives, the
socket is then woken up for renewed transmission. This works well for
keeping the message flow running, as it almost never happens that a
sender socket is blocked this way.
A problem with the current mechanism is that it potentially is very
memory consuming. Since we don't distinguish between small and large
messages, we have to dimension the socket receive buffer according
to a worst-case of both. I.e., the window size must be chosen large
enough to sustain a reasonable throughput even for the smallest
messages, while we must still consider a scenario where all messages
are of maximum size. Hence, the current fix window size of 512 messages
and a maximum message size of 66k results in a receive buffer of 66 MB
when truesize(66k) = 131k is taken into account. It is possible to do
much better.
This commit introduces an algorithm where we instead use 1024-byte
blocks as base unit. This unit, always rounded upwards from the
actual message size, is used when we advertise windows as well as when
we count and acknowledge transmitted data. The advertised window is
based on the configured receive buffer size in such a way that even
the worst-case truesize/msgsize ratio always is covered. Since the
smallest possible message size (from a flow control viewpoint) now is
1024 bytes, we can safely assume this ratio to be less than four, which
is the value we are now using.
This way, we have been able to reduce the default receive buffer size
from 66 MB to 2 MB with maintained performance.
In order to keep this solution backwards compatible, we introduce a
new capability bit in the discovery protocol, and use this throughout
the message sending/reception path to always select the right unit.

tipc: propagate peer node capabilities to socket layer
During neighbor discovery, nodes advertise their capabilities as a bit

tipc: re-enable compensation for socket receive buffer double counting
In the refactoring commit
d570d86497ee ("tipc: enqueue arrived buffers

atomic_set(&tsk->dupl_rcvcnt, 0);
with
if (sk->sk_backlog.len)
atomic_set(&tsk->dupl_rcvcnt, 0);
This effectively disables the compensation we have for the double
receive buffer accounting that occurs temporarily when buffers are
moved from the backlog to the socket receive queue. Until now, this
has gone unnoticed because of the large receive buffer limits we are
applying, but becomes indispensable when we reduce this buffer limit
later in this series.
We now fix this by inverting the mentioned condition.

====================
stmmac: dwmac-socfpga refactor+cleanup
This patch aims to remove the init/exit callbacks from the dwmac-
socfpga driver and instead use standard PM callbacks. Doing this
will also allow us to cleanup the driver.
Eventually the init/exit callbacks will be deprecated and removed
from all drivers dwmac-* except for dwmac-generic. Drivers will be
refactored to use standard PM and remove callbacks.
This patch set should not change the behavior of the driver itself,
it only moves code around. The only exception to this is patch
number 4 which restores the resume callback behavior which was
changed in the "net: stmmac: socfpga: Remove re-registration of
reset controller" patch. I belive calling phy_resume() only
from the resume callback and not probe is the right thing to do.
Changes from v1:
- Rebase on net-next
One heads-up here:
The first patch changes the prototype of a couple of
functions used in Alexandre's "add Ethernet glue logic for
stm32 chip" patch [1] and will cause build failures for
dwmac-stm32.c if not fixed up!
If Alexandre's patch set is applied first I will gladly
rebase my patch set to account for his driver as well.

The problem occurs because netem is not prepared to handle GSO packets (as it
uses skb_checksum_help in its enqueue path, which cannot manipulate these
frames).
The solution I think is to simply segment the skb in a simmilar fashion to the
way we do in __dev_queue_xmit (via validate_xmit_skb), with some minor changes.
When we decide to corrupt an skb, if the frame is GSO, we segment it, corrupt
the first segment, and enqueue the remaining ones.
tested successfully by myself on the latest net kernel, to which this applies

Merge branch 'bridge-per-vlan-stats'
Nikolay Aleksandrov says:
====================
bridge: per-vlan stats
This set adds support for bridge per-vlan statistics.
In order to be able to dump statistics for many vlans we need a way to
continue dumping after reaching maximum size, thus patches 01 and 02 extend
the new stats API with a per-device extended link stats attribute and
callback which can save its local state and continue where it left off
afterwards. I considered using the already existing "fill_xstats" callback
but it gets confusing since we need to separate the linkinfo dump from the
new stats api dump and adding a flag/argument to do that just looks messy.
I don't think the rtnl_link_ops size is an issue, so adding these seemed
like the cleaner approach.
Patches 03 and 04 add the stats support and netlink dump support
respectively. The stats accounting is controlled via a bridge option which
is default off, thus the performance impact is kept minimal.
I've tested this set with both old and modified iproute2, kmemleak on and
some traffic stress tests while adding/removing vlans and ports.
v3:
- drop the RCU pvid patch and remove one pointer fetch as requested
- make stats accounting optional with default to off, the option is in the
same cache line as vlan_proto and vlan_enabled, so it is already fetched
before the fast path check thus the performance impact is minimal, this
also allows us to avoid one vlan lookup and return early when using pvid
- rebased and retested
v2:
- Improve the error checking, rename lidx to prividx and save the current
idx user instead of restricting it to one in patch 01
- squash patch 02 into 01 and remove the restriction
- add callback descriptions, improve the size calculation and change the
xstats message structure to have an embedding level per rtnl link type
so we can avoid one call to get the link type (and thus filter on it)
and also each link type can now have any number of private attributes
inside
- fix a problem where the vlan stats are not dumped if the bridge has 0
vlans on it but has vlans on the ports, add bridge link type private
attributes and also add paddings for future extensions to avoid at least
a few netlink attributes and improve struct alignment
- drop the is_skb_forwardable argument constifying patch as it's not
needed anymore, but it's a nice cleanup which I'll send separately

====================
net: make TCP preemptible
Most of TCP stack assumed it was running from BH handler.
This is great for most things, as TCP behavior is very sensitive
to scheduling artifacts.
However, the prequeue and backlog processing are problematic,
as they need to be flushed with BH being blocked.
To cope with modern needs, TCP sockets have big sk_rcvbuf values,
in the order of 16 MB, and soon 32 MB.
This means that backlog can hold thousands of packets, and things
like TCP coalescing or collapsing on this amount of packets can
lead to insane latency spikes, since BH are blocked for too long.
It is time to make UDP/TCP stacks preemptible.
Note that fast path still runs from BH handler.

tcp: make tcp_sendmsg() aware of socket backlog
Large sendmsg()/write() hold socket lock for the duration of the call,
unless sk->sk_sndbuf limit is hit. This is bad because incoming packets
are parked into socket backlog for a long time.
Critical decisions like fast retransmit might be delayed.
Receivers have to maintain a big out of order queue with additional cpu
overhead, and also possible stalls in TX once windows are full.
Bidirectional flows are particularly hurt since the backlog can become
quite big if the copy from user space triggers IO (page faults)
Some applications learnt to use sendmsg() (or sendmmsg()) with small
chunks to avoid this issue.
Kernel should know better, right ?
Add a generic sk_flush_backlog() helper and use it right
before a new skb is allocated. Typically we put 64KB of payload
per skb (unless MSG_EOR is requested) and checking socket backlog
every 64KB gives good results.
As a matter of fact, tests with TSO/GSO disabled give very nice
results, as we manage to keep a small write queue and smaller
perceived rtt.
Note that sk_flush_backlog() maintains socket ownership,
so is not equivalent to a {release_sock(sk); lock_sock(sk);},
to ensure implicit atomicity rules that sendmsg() was
giving to (possibly buggy) applications.
In this simple implementation, I chose to not call tcp_release_cb(),
but we might consider this later.

Minimal fix-up of bad hashing behavior of hash_64()
This is a fairly minimal fixup to the horribly bad behavior of hash_64()
with certain input patterns.
In particular, because the multiplicative value used for the 64-bit hash
was intentionally bit-sparse (so that the multiply could be done with
shifts and adds on architectures without hardware multipliers), some
bits did not get spread out very much. In particular, certain fairly
common bit ranges in the input (roughly bits 12-20: commonly with the
most information in them when you hash things like byte offsets in files
or memory that have block factors that mean that the low bits are often
zero) would not necessarily show up much in the result.
There's a bigger patch-series brewing to fix up things more completely,
but this is the fairly minimal fix for the 64-bit hashing problem. It
simply picks a much better constant multiplier, spreading the bits out a
lot better.
NOTE! For 32-bit architectures, the bad old hash_64() remains the same
for now, since 64-bit multiplies are expensive. The bigger hashing
cleanup will replace the 32-bit case with something better.
The new constants were picked by George Spelvin who wrote that bigger
cleanup series. I just picked out the constants and part of the comment
from that series.
