In the sendmsg function of UDP, raw, ICMP and l2tp sockets, we use local
variables like hlimits, tclass, opt and dontfrag and pass them to corresponding
functions like ip6_make_skb, ip6_append_data and xxx_push_pending_frames.
This is not a good practice and makes it hard to add new parameters.
This fix introduces a new struct ipcm6_cookie similar to ipcm_cookie in
ipv4 and include the above mentioned variables. And we only pass the
pointer to this structure to corresponding functions. This makes it easier
to add new parameters in the future and makes the function cleaner.

Hosts sending lot of ACK packets exhibit high sock_wfree() cost
because of cache line miss to test SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE
We could move this flag close to sk_wmem_alloc but it is better
to perform the atomic_sub_and_test() on a clean cache line,
as it avoid one extra bus transaction.
skb_orphan_partial() can also have a fast track for packets that either
are TCP acks, or already went through another skb_orphan_partial()

====================
tipc: redesign socket-level flow control
The socket-level flow control in TIPC has long been due for a major
overhaul. This series fixes this.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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.

During neighbor discovery, nodes advertise their capabilities as a bit
map in a dedicated 16-bit field in the discovery message header. This
bit map has so far only be stored in the node structure on the peer
nodes, but we now see the need to keep a copy even in the socket
structure.
This commit adds this functionality.

In the refactoring commit d570d86497ee ("tipc: enqueue arrived buffers
in socket in separate function") we did by accident replace the test
if (sk->sk_backlog.len == 0)
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 dwmac-socfpga driver needs to control the reset usually managed
by the core driver to set the PHY mode. Take a copy of the reset
handle from core priv data so it can be used by the driver later.
This also allow us to move reset handling into socfpga_dwmac_setup()
where the code that needs it is located.

In presence of inelastic flows and stress, we can call
fq_codel_drop() for every packet entering fq_codel qdisc.
fq_codel_drop() is quite expensive, as it does a linear scan
of 4 KB of memory to find a fat flow.
Once found, it drops the oldest packet of this flow.
Instead of dropping a single packet, try to drop 50% of the backlog
of this fat flow, with a configurable limit of 64 packets per round.
TCA_FQ_CODEL_DROP_BATCH_SIZE is the new attribute to make this
limit configurable.
With this strategy the 4 KB search is amortized to a single cache line
per drop [1], so fq_codel_drop() no longer appears at the top of kernel
profile in presence of few inelastic flows.

Locally generated TCP GSO packets having to go through a GRE/SIT/IPIP
tunnel have to go through an expensive skb_unclone()
Reallocating skb->head is a lot of work.
Test should really check if a 'real clone' of the packet was done.
TCP does not care if the original gso_type is changed while the packet
travels in the stack.
This adds skb_header_unclone() which is a variant of skb_clone()
using skb_header_cloned() check instead of skb_cloned().
This variant can probably be used from other points.

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

get_linkxstats_size) in order to export the per-vlan stats.

Add support for per-VLAN Tx/Rx statistics. Every global vlan context gets
allocated a per-cpu stats which is then set in each per-port vlan context
for quick access. The br_allowed_ingress() common function is used to
account for Rx packets and the br_handle_vlan() common function is used
to account for Tx packets. Stats accounting is performed only if the
bridge-wide vlan_stats_enabled option is set either via sysfs or netlink.
A struct hole between vlan_enabled and vlan_proto is used for the new
option so it is in the same cache line. Currently it is binary (on/off)
but it is intentionally restricted to exactly 0 and 1 since other values
will be used in the future for different purposes (e.g. per-port stats).

Add callbacks to calculate the size and fill link extended statistics
which can be split into multiple messages and are dumped via the new
rtnl stats API (RTM_GETSTATS) with the IFLA_STATS_LINK_XSTATS attribute.
Also add that attribute to the idx mask check since it is expected to
be able to save state and resume dumping (e.g. future bridge per-vlan
stats will be dumped via this attribute and callbacks).
Each link type should nest its private attributes under the per-link type
attribute. This allows to have any number of separated private attributes
and to avoid one call to get the dev link type.

net: Cleanup IPv6 ip tunnels
The IPv6 tunnel code is very different from IPv4 code. There is a lot

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.
v2: Added "tcp: make tcp_sendmsg() aware of socket backlog"
to reduce latency problems of large sends.
v3: Fixed a typo in tcp_cdg.c

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.

once ring buffer is filled.

DCCP uses the generic backlog code, and this will soon
be changed to not disable BH when protocol is called back.

AFAIK, nothing in current TCP stack absolutely wants BH
being disabled once socket is owned by a thread running in
process context.
As mentioned in my prior patch ("tcp: give prequeue mode some care"),
processing a batch of packets might take time, better not block BH
at all.

We want to to make TCP stack preemptible, as draining prequeue
and backlog queues can take lot of time.
Many SNMP updates were assuming that BH (and preemption) was disabled.
Need to convert some __NET_INC_STATS() calls to NET_INC_STATS()
and some __TCP_INC_STATS() to TCP_INC_STATS()
Before using this_cpu_ptr(net->ipv4.tcp_sk) in tcp_v4_send_reset()
and tcp_v4_send_ack(), we add an explicit preempt disabled section.

Iyappan Subramanian says:
====================
drivers: net: xgene: fix: Get channel number from device binding
This patch set adds 'channel' property to get ethernet to CPU channel number,
thus decoupling the Linux driver from static resource selection.
v2: Address review comments from v1
- removed irq reference from Linux driver
- added 'channel' property to get ethernet to CPU channel number
v1:
- Initial version
