Drivers that support tunnel decapsulation (IPinIP or NVE) need to
configure the underlying device to conform to the behavior outlined in
RFC 6040 with respect to the ECN bits.
This behavior is implemented by INET_ECN_decapsulate() which requires an
skb to be passed where the ECN CE bit can be potentially set. Since
these drivers do not need to mark an skb, but only configure the device
to do so, factor out the business logic to __INET_ECN_decapsulate() and
potentially perform the marking in INET_ECN_decapsulate().
This allows drivers to invoke __INET_ECN_decapsulate() and configure the
device.

Drivers that support VxLAN offload need to be able to sanitize the
configuration of the VxLAN device and accept / reject its offload.
For example, mlxsw requires that the local IP of the VxLAN device be set
and that packets be flooded to unicast IP(s) and not to a multicast
group.
Expose the functions that perform such checks.

In the device, different VRFs (routing tables) are represented using
different virtual routers (VRs) and thus the kernel's table IDs are
mapped to VR IDs.
Allow internal users of the IP router to query the VR ID based on a
kernel table ID.
This is needed - for example - when configuring the underlay VR where
VxLAN encapsulated packets will undergo an L3 lookup. In this case, the
kernel's table ID is derived from the VxLAN device's configuration.

When an NVE tunnel with an IP underlay (e.g., VxLAN) is configured the
local route to the tunnel's source IP needs to be promoted to perform
NVE decapsulation.
Expose an API in the unicast IP router to promote / demote local routes.
The case where a local route is configured after the creation of the NVE
tunnel will be handled in a subsequent patch in the set.

Current APIs only allow looking for a FID and creating it in case it
does not exist.
With VxLAN, in case the bridge to which the VxLAN device was enslaved
does not already have a corresponding FID, then it means that something
went wrong that we need to be aware of.
Add an API to look up a FID, but without creating it in order to catch
above-mentioned situation.

In the device, the VNI and the list of remote VTEPs a packet should be
flooded to is a property of the filtering identifier (FID).
During encapsulation, the VNI is taken from the FID the packet was
classified to. During decapsulation, the overlay packet is injected into
a bridge and classified to a FID based on the VNI it came with.
Allow NVE configuration for a FID. Currently, this is only supported
with 802.1D FIDs which are used for VLAN-unaware bridges. However, NVE
configuration is going to be supported with 802.1Q FIDs which is why the
related fields are placed in the common FID struct.
Since the device requires a 1:1 mapping between FID and VNI, the driver
maintains a hashtable keyed by VNI and checks if the VNI is already
associated with an existing FID.

When adding a vxlan tc rule, and a neighbour isn't available, we
don't insert any rule to hardware. Once we enable offloading flows
with multiple priorities, a packet that should have matched this rule
will continue in hardware pipeline and might match a wrong one.
This is unlike in tc software path where it will be matched and
forwarded to the vxlan device (which will cause a ARP lookup
eventually) and stop processing further tc filters.
To address that, when when a neighbour isn't available (EAGAIN from
attach_encap), or gets deleted, change the original action to be a
forward to slow path instead. Neighbour update will restore the original
action once the neighbour becomes available. This will be done atomically
so at any given time we will have a the correct match.

When replacing a tc flower rule, flower first requests to add the
new rule (new action), then deletes the old one.
But currently when asked to add a new tc flower flow, we append the
actions (and counters to it).
This can result in a fte with two flow counters or conflicting
actions (drop and encap action) which firmware complains/errs
about and isn't achieving what the user aimed for.
Instead, insert the flow using the new no-append flag which will add a
new HW rule, the old flow and rule will be deleted later by flower

A chain is a group of priorities, so use the fdb parallel
sub namespaces to implement chains, and a flow table for each
priority in them.
Because these namespaces are parallel and in series to the slow path
fdb, the chains aren't connected to one another (but to the slow path),
and one must use a explicit goto action to reach a different chain.
Flow tables for the priorities will be created on demand and destroyed
once not used.
The Firmware has four pools of tables for sizes S/XS/M/L (4k, 64k, 1m, 4m).
We maintain ghost copies of the pools occupancy.
When a new table is to be created, we scan the pools from large to small
and find the 1st table size which can be now created. When a table is
destroyed, we update the relevant pool.
Multi chain/prio isn't enabled yet by this patch, for now all flows
will use the default chain 0, and prio 1.

Towards supporting multi-chains and priorities, split the FDB fast path
to multiple namespaces (sub namespaces), each with multiple priorities.
This patch adds a new flow steering type, FS_TYPE_PRIO_CHAINS, which is
like current FS_TYPE_PRIO, but may contain only namespaces, and those
will be in parallel to one another in terms of managing of the flow
tables connections inside them. Meaning, while searching for the next
or previous flow table to connect for a new table inside such namespace
we skip the parallel namespaces in the same level under the
FS_TYPE_PRIO_CHAINS prio we originated from.
We use this new type for splitting the fast path prio into multiple
parallel namespaces, each containing normal prios.
The prios inside them (and their tables) will be connected to one
another, but not from one parallel namespace to another, instead the
last prio in each namespace will be connected to the next prio in
the containing FDB namespace, which is the slow path prio.

Currently, when a flow rule is created using the FS core layer, the caller
has to pass the entire flow counter object and not just the counter HW
handle (ID). This requires both the FS core and the caller to have
knowledge about the inner implementation of the FS layer flow counters
cache and limits the possible users.
Move to use the counter ID across the place when dealing with flows.
Doing this decoupling, now can we privatize the inner implementation
of the flow counters.

There's no real reason for the e-switch logic to manage the creation of
counters for offloaded flows. The API already has the directive for the
caller to denote they want to attach a counter to the created flow.
As such, we go and move the management of flow counters to the mlx5e
tc offload logic. This also lets us remove an inelegant interface where
the FS layer had to provide a way to retrieve a counter from a flow rule.

Eric reported that syzkaller triggered a splat in tcp_cleanup_ulp()
where assertion sock_owned_by_me() failed. This happened through
inet_csk_prepare_forced_close() first releasing the socket lock,
then calling into tcp_done(newsk) which is called after the
inet_csk_prepare_forced_close() and therefore without the socket
lock held. The sock_owned_by_me() assertion can generally be
removed as the only place where tcp_cleanup_ulp() is called from
now is out of inet_csk_destroy_sock() -> sk->sk_prot->destroy()
where socket is in dead state and unreachable. Therefore, add a
comment why the check is not needed instead.

Align the use of local PTT to propagate through the qed_mcp* API's.
Global ptt should not be used.
Register access should be done through layers. Register address is
mapped into a PTT, PF translation table. Several interface functions
require a PTT to direct read/write into register. There is a pool of
PTT maintained, and several PTT are used simultaneously to access
device registers in different flows. Same PTT should not be used in
flows that can run concurrently.
To avoid running out of PTT resources, too many PTT should not be
acquired without releasing them. Every PF has a global PTT, which is
used throughout the life of PF, in most important flows for register
access. Generic functions acquire the PTT locally and release after
the use. This patch aligns the use of Global PTT and Local PTT
accordingly.

net: Kernel side filtering for route dumps
Implement kernel side filtering of route dumps by protocol (e.g., which
routing daemon installed the route), route type (e.g., unicast), table
id and nexthop device.
iproute2 has been doing this filtering in userspace for years; pushing
the filters to the kernel side reduces the amount of data the kernel
sends and reduces wasted cycles on both sides processing unwanted data.
These initial options provide a huge improvement for efficiently
examining routes on large scale systems.
v2
- better handling of requests for a specific table. Rather than walking
the hash of all tables, lookup the specific table and dump it
- refactor mr_rtm_dumproute moving the loop over the table into a
helper that can be invoked directly

it is returned even when the dump returns nothing
