Connection creation with SMC-R starts through an internal
TCP-connection. The Ethernet interface for this TCP-connection is not
restricted to the Ethernet interface of a RoCE device. Any existing
Ethernet interface belonging to the same physical net can be used, as
long as there is a defined relation between the Ethernet interface and
some RoCE devices. This relation is defined with the help of an
identification string called "Physical Net ID" or short "pnet ID".
Information about defined pnet IDs and their related Ethernet
interfaces and RoCE devices is stored in the SMC-R pnet table.
A pnet table entry consists of the identifying pnet ID and the
associated network and IB device.
This patch adds pnet table configuration support using the
generic netlink message interface referring to network and IB device
by their names. Commands exist to add, delete, and display pnet table
entries, and to flush or display the entire pnet table.
There are cross-checks to verify whether the ethernet interfaces
or infiniband devices really exist in the system. If either device
is not available, the pnet ID entry is not created.
Loss of network devices and IB devices is also monitored;
a pnet ID entry is removed when an associated network or
IB device is removed.

Direct call of tcp_set_keepalive() function from protocol-agnostic
sock_setsockopt() function in net/core/sock.c violates network
layering. And newly introduced protocol (SMC-R) will need its own
keepalive function. Therefore, add "keepalive" function pointer
to "struct proto", and call it from sock_setsockopt() via this pointer.

sh_eth: add wake-on-lan support via magic packet
This series adds support for Wake-on-Lan using Magic Packet for a few
models of the sh_eth driver. Patch 1/6 fix a naming error, patch 2/6
adds generic support to control and support WoL while patches 3/6 - 6/6
enable different models.
Based ontop of net-next master.
Changes since v2.
- Fix bookkeeping for "active_count" and "event_count" reported in
/sys/kernel/debug/wakeup_sources. Thanks Geert for noticing this.
- Add new patch 1/6 which corrects the name of ECMR_MPDE bit, suggested
by Sergei.
- s/sh7743/sh7734/ in patch 5/6. Thanks Geert for spotting this.
- Spelling improvements suggested by Sergei and Geert.
- Add Tested-by to 3/6 and 4/6.
Changes since v1.
- Split generic WoL functionality and device enablement to different
patches.
- Enable more devices then Gen2 after feedback from Geert and
datasheets.
- Do not set mdp->irq_enabled = false and remove specific MagicPacket
interrupt clearing, instead let sh_eth_error() clear the interrupt as
for other EMAC interrupts, thanks Sergei for the suggestion.
- Use the original return logic in sh_eth_resume().
- Moved sh_eth_private variable *clk to top of data structure to avoid
possible gaps due to alignment restrictions.
- Make wol_enabled in sh_eth_private part of the already existing
bitfield instead of a bool.
- Do not initiate mdp->wol_enabled to 0, the struct is kzalloc'ed so
it's already set to 0.

Add generic functionality to support Wake-on-LAN using MagicPacket which
are supported by at least a few versions of sh_eth. Only add
functionality for WoL, no specific sh_eth versions are marked to support
WoL yet.
WoL is enabled in the suspend callback by setting MagicPacket detection
and disabling all interrupts expect MagicPacket. In the resume path the
driver needs to reset the hardware to rearm the WoL logic, this prevents
the driver from simply restoring the registers and to take advantage of
that sh_eth was not suspended to reduce resume time. To reset the
hardware the driver closes and reopens the device just like it would do
in a normal suspend/resume scenario without WoL enabled, but it both
closes and opens the device in the resume callback since the device
needs to be open for WoL to work.
One quirk needed for WoL is that the module clock needs to be prevented
from being switched off by Runtime PM. To keep the clock alive the
suspend callback need to call clk_enable() directly to increase the
usage count of the clock. Then when Runtime PM decreases the clock usage
count it won't reach 0 and be switched off.

====================
net: optimize ICMP-reply code path
This patchset is optimizing the ICMP-reply code path, for ICMP packets
that gets rate limited. A remote party can easily trigger this code
path by sending packets to port number with no listening service.
Generally the patchset moves the sysctl_icmp_msgs_per_sec ratelimit
checking to earlier in the code path and removes an allocation.
Use-case: The specific case I experienced this being a bottleneck is,
sending UDP packets to a port with no listener, which obviously result
in kernel replying with ICMP Destination Unreachable (type:3), Port
Unreachable (code:3), which cause the bottleneck.
After Eric and Paolo optimized the UDP socket code, the kernels PPS
processing capabilities is lower for no-listen ports, than normal UDP
sockets. This is bad for capacity planning when restarting a service.
UDP no-listen benchmark 8xCPUs using pktgen_sample04_many_flows.sh:
Baseline: 6.6 Mpps
Patch: 14.7 Mpps

It is possible to avoid the atomic operation in icmp{v6,}_xmit_lock,
by checking the sysctl_icmp_msgs_per_sec ratelimit before these calls,
as pointed out by Eric Dumazet, but the BH disabled state must be correct.
The icmp_global_allow() call states it must be called with BH
disabled. This protection was given by the calls icmp_xmit_lock and
icmpv6_xmit_lock. Thus, split out local_bh_disable/enable from these
functions and maintain it explicitly at callers.

This patch split the global and per (inet)peer ICMP-reply limiter
code, and moves the global limit check to earlier in the packet
processing path. Thus, avoid spending cycles on ICMP replies that
gets limited/suppressed anyhow.
The global ICMP rate limiter icmp_global_allow() is a good solution,
it just happens too late in the process. The kernel goes through the
full route lookup (return path) for the ICMP message, before taking
the rate limit decision of not sending the ICMP reply.
Details: The kernels global rate limiter for ICMP messages got added
in commit 4cdf507d5452 ("icmp: add a global rate limitation"). It is
a token bucket limiter with a global lock. It brilliantly avoids
locking congestion by only updating when 20ms (HZ/50) were elapsed. It
can then avoids taking lock when credit is exhausted (when under
pressure) and time constraint for refill is not yet meet.

====================
afs: Refcount afs_call struct
These patches provide some tracepoints for AFS and fix a potential leak by
adding refcounting to the afs_call struct.
The patches are:
(1) Add some tracepoints for logging incoming calls and monitoring
notifications from AF_RXRPC and data reception.
(2) Get rid of afs_wait_mode as it didn't turn out to be as useful as
initially expected. It can be brought back later if needed. This
clears some stuff out that I don't then need to fix up in (4).
(3) Allow listen(..., 0) to be used to disable listening. This makes
shutting down the AFS cache manager server in the kernel much easier
and the accounting simpler as we can then be sure that (a) all
preallocated afs_call structs are relesed and (b) no new incoming
calls are going to be started.
For the moment, listening cannot be reenabled.
(4) Add refcounting to the afs_call struct to fix a potential multiple
release detected by static checking and add a tracepoint to follow the
lifecycle of afs_call objects.

While in RUNNING state, phy_state_machine() checks for link changes by
comparing phydev->link before and after calling phy_read_status().
This works as long as it is guaranteed that phydev->link is never
changed outside the phy_state_machine().
If in some setups this happens, it causes the state machine to miss
a link loss and remain RUNNING despite phydev->link being 0.
This has been observed running a dsa setup with a process continuously
polling the link states over ethtool each second (SNMPD RFC-1213
agent). Disconnecting the link on a phy followed by a ETHTOOL_GSET
causes dsa_slave_get_settings() / dsa_slave_get_link_ksettings() to
call phy_read_status() and with that modify the link status - and
with that bricking the phy state machine.
This patch adds a fail-safe check while in RUNNING, which causes to
move to CHANGELINK when the link is gone and we are still RUNNING.

This patch moves stmmac_clk, pclk, clk_ptp_ref and stmmac_rst to the
plat_stmmacenet_data structure. It also moves these platform variables
initialization to stmmac_platform. This was done for two reasons:
a) If PCI is used, platform related code is being executed in stmmac_main
resulting in warnings that have no sense and conceptually was not right
b) stmmac as a synopsys reference ethernet driver stack will be hosting
more and more drivers to its structure like synopsys/dwc_eth_qos.c.
These drivers have their own DT bindings that are not compatible with
stmmac's. One of the most important are the clock names, and so they need
to be parsed in the glue logic and initialized there, and that is the main
reason why the clocks were passed to the platform structure.

====================
Introduce The SipHash PRF
This patch series introduces SipHash into the kernel. SipHash is a
cryptographically secure PRF, which serves a variety of functions, and is
introduced in patch #1. The following patch #2 introduces HalfSipHash,
an optimization suitable for hash tables only. Finally, the last two patches
in this series show two usages of the introduced siphash function family.
It is expected that after this initial introduction, other usages will follow.
Please read the extensive descriptions in patch #1 and patch #2 of what these
functions do and the various levels of assurances. They're products of intense
cryptographic research, and I believe they're suitable for the uses outlined
herein.
The use of SipHash is not limited to the networking subsystem -- indeed I
would like to use it in other places too in the kernel. But after discussing
with a few on this list and at Linus' suggestion, the initial import of these
functions is coming through the networking tree. After these are merged, it
will then be easier to expand use elsewhere.
Changes v2->v3:
- hsiphash keys now simply use an unsigned long, in order to avoid
a cluttered ifdef and make it a bit more clear what's happening.
- A typo in the documentation has been fixed.
- The documentation has been augmented with an example relating to struct
packing and passing.
- The net_secret variable is now __read_mostly.
Hopefully this is the last of the required revisions, and v3 can be merged
into net-next.

SHA1 is slower and less secure than SipHash, and so replacing syncookie

this for several years in fact.

speedup from the sequence number fix in this series.

This gives a clear speed and security improvement. Siphash is both
faster and is more solid crypto than the aging MD5.
Rather than manually filling MD5 buffers, for IPv6, we simply create
a layout by a simple anonymous struct, for which gcc generates
rather efficient code. For IPv4, we pass the values directly to the
short input convenience functions.

HalfSipHash, or hsiphash, is a shortened version of SipHash, which
generates 32-bit outputs using a weaker 64-bit key. It has *much* lower
security margins, and shouldn't be used for anything too sensitive, but
it could be used as a hashtable key function replacement, if the output
is never exposed, and if the security requirement is not too high.
The goal is to make this something that performance-critical jhash users
would be willing to use.
On 64-bit machines, HalfSipHash1-3 is slower than SipHash1-3, so we alias
SipHash1-3 to HalfSipHash1-3 on those systems.
64-bit x86_64:
[ 0.509409] test_siphash: SipHash2-4 cycles: 4049181
[ 0.510650] test_siphash: SipHash1-3 cycles: 2512884
[ 0.512205] test_siphash: HalfSipHash1-3 cycles: 3429920
[ 0.512904] test_siphash: JenkinsHash cycles: 978267
So, we map hsiphash() -> SipHash1-3
32-bit x86:
[ 0.509868] test_siphash: SipHash2-4 cycles: 14812892
[ 0.513601] test_siphash: SipHash1-3 cycles: 9510710
[ 0.515263] test_siphash: HalfSipHash1-3 cycles: 3856157
[ 0.515952] test_siphash: JenkinsHash cycles: 1148567
So, we map hsiphash() -> HalfSipHash1-3
hsiphash() is roughly 3 times slower than jhash(), but comes with a
considerable security improvement.
