Allows putting a VXLAN device into a new flow-based mode in which
skbs with a ip_tunnel_info dst metadata attached will be encapsulated
according to the instructions stored in there with the VXLAN device
defaults taken into consideration.
Similar on the receive side, if the VXLAN_F_COLLECT_METADATA flag is
set, the packet processing will populate a ip_tunnel_info struct for
each packet received and attach it to the skb using the new metadata
dst. The metadata structure will contain the outer header and tunnel
header fields which have been stripped off. Layers further up in the
stack such as routing, tc or netfitler can later match on these fields
and perform forwarding. It is the responsibility of upper layers to
ensure that the flag is set if the metadata is needed. The flag limits
the additional cost of metadata collecting based on demand.
This prepares the VXLAN device to be steered by the routing and other
subsystems which allows to support encapsulation for a large number
of tunnel endpoints and tunnel ids through a single net_device which
improves the scalability.
It also allows for OVS to leverage this mode which in turn allows for
the removal of the OVS specific VXLAN code.
Because the skb is currently scrubed in vxlan_rcv(), the attachment of
the new dst metadata is postponed until after scrubing which requires
the temporary addition of a new member to vxlan_metadata. This member
is removed again in a later commit after the indirect VXLAN receive API
has been removed.

Introduces a new dst_metadata which enables to carry per packet metadata
between forwarding and processing elements via the skb->dst pointer.
The structure is set up to be a union. Thus, each separate type of
metadata requires its own dst instance. If demand arises to carry
multiple types of metadata concurrently, metadata dst entries can be
made stackable.
The metadata dst entry is refcnt'ed as expected for now but a non
reference counted use is possible if the reference is forced before
queueing the skb.
In order to allow allocating dsts with variable length, the existing
dst_alloc() is split into a dst_alloc() and dst_init() function. The
existing dst_init() function to initialize the subsystem is being
renamed to dst_subsys_init() to make it clear what is what.
The check before ip_route_input() is changed to ignore metadata dsts
and drop the dst inside the routing function thus allowing to interpret
metadata in a later commit.

Rename the tunnel metadata data structures currently internal to
OVS and make them generic for use by all IP tunnels.
Both structures are kernel internal and will stay that way. Their
members are exposed to user space through individual Netlink
attributes by OVS. It will therefore be possible to extend/modify
these structures without affecting user ABI.

sctp: fix src address selection if using secondary address
This series improves the way SCTP chooses its src address so that the
choosen one will always belong to the interface being used for output.
v1->v2:
- split out the refactoring from the fix itself
- Doing a full reverse routing as in v1 is not necessary. Only looking
for the interface that has the address and comparing its number is
enough.

In short, sctp is likely to incorrectly choose src address if socket is
bound to secondary addresses. This patch fixes it by adding a new check
that checks if such src address belongs to the interface that routing
identified as output.
This is enough to avoid rp_filter drops on remote peer.
Details:
Currently, sctp will do a routing attempt without specifying the src
address and compare the returned value (preferred source) with the
addresses that the socket is bound to. When using secondary addresses,
this will not match.
Then it will try specifying each of the addresses that the socket is
bound to and re-routing, checking if that address is valid as src for
that dst. Thing is, this check alone is weak:

improve accuracy of timing in test_bpf and add two stress tests:
- {skb->data[0], get_smp_processor_id} repeated 2k times
- {skb->data[0], vlan_push} x 68 followed by {skb->data[0], vlan_pop} x 68
1st test is useful to test performance of JIT implementation of BPF_LD_ABS
together with BPF_CALL instructions.
2nd test is stressing skb_vlan_push/pop logic together with skb->data access
via BPF_LD_ABS insn which checks that re-caching of skb->data is done correctly.
In order to call bpf_skb_vlan_push() from test_bpf.ko have to add

Allow eBPF programs attached to TC qdiscs call skb_vlan_push/pop via
helper functions. These functions may change skb->data/hlen which are
cached by some JITs to improve performance of ld_abs/ld_ind instructions.
Therefore JITs need to recognize bpf_skb_vlan_push/pop() calls,
re-compute header len and re-cache skb->data/hlen back into cpu registers.
Note, skb->data/hlen are not directly accessible from the programs,
so any changes to skb->data done either by these helpers or by other
TC actions are safe.
eBPF JIT supported by three architectures:
- arm64 JIT is using bpf_load_pointer() without caching, so it's ok as-is.
- x64 JIT re-caches skb->data/hlen unconditionally after vlan_push/pop calls
(experiments showed that conditional re-caching is slower).
- s390 JIT falls back to interpreter for now when bpf_skb_vlan_push() is present
in the program (re-caching is tbd).
These helpers allow more scalable handling of vlan from the programs.
Instead of creating thousands of vlan netdevs on top of eth0 and attaching
TC+ingress+bpf to all of them, the program can be attached to eth0 directly
and manipulate vlans as necessary.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-07-17
This series contains updates to igb, ixgbe, ixgbevf, i40e, bnx2x,
freescale, siena and dp83640.
Jacob provides several patches to clarify the intended way to implement
both SIOCSHWTSTAMP and ethtool's get_ts_info(). It is okay to support
the specific filters in SIOCSHWTSTAMP by upscaling them to the generic
filters.
Alex Duyck provides a igb patch to pull the time stamp from the fragment
before it gets added to the skb, to avoid a possible issue in which the
fragment can possibly be less than IGB_RX_HDR_LEN due to the time stamp
being pulled after the copybreak check. Also provides a ixgbevf patch to
fold the ixgbevf_pull_tail() call into ixgbevf_add_rx_frag(), which gives
the advantage that the fragment does not have to be modified after it is
added to the skb.
Fan provides patches for ixgbe/ixgbevf to set the receive hash type
based on receive descriptor RSS type.
Todd provides a fix for igb where on check for link on any media other
than copper was not being detected since it was looking on the incorrect
PHY page (due to the page being used gets switched before the function
to check link gets executed).

net: bcmgenet: PHY initialization rework
This patch series reworks how we perform PHY initialization and resets in the
GENET driver. Although this contains mostly fixes, some of the changes are a
bit too intrusive to be backported to 'net' at the moment.
Some of the motivations behind these changes were to reduce the time spent in how
performing MDIO transactions, since it is better to perform then when we have
interrupts enabled. This reduces the bring-up time of GENET from ~600 msecs down
to ~8 msecs, and about the same time for suspend/resume.
Since I do not currently have a system which is not DT-aware, can you (Petri,
Jaedon) give this a try and confirm things keep working as expected?

We are currently doing a full PHY initialization and even starting the
pHY state machine during bcmgenet_mii_init() which is executed in the
driver's probe function. This is convenient to determine whether we can
attach to a proper PHY device but comes at the expense of spending up to
10ms per MDIO transactions (to reach the waitqueue timeout), which slows
things down.
This also creates a sitaution where we end-up attaching twice to the
PHY, which is not quite correct either.
Fix this by moving bcmgenet_mii_probe() into bcmgenet_open() and update
its error path accordingly.
Avoid printing the message "attached PHY at address 1 [...]" every time
we bring up/down the interface and remove this print since it duplicates
what the PHY driver already does for us.

Our internal GPHY might be powered off before we attempt scanning the
MDIO bus and bind a driver to it. The way we are currently determining
whether a PHY is internal or not is done *after* we have successfully
matched its driver. If the PHY is powered down, it will not respond to
the MDIO bus, so we will not be able to bind a driver to it.
Our Device Tree for GENET interfaces specifies a "phy-mode" value:
"internal" which tells if this internal uses an internal PHY or not.
If of_get_phy_mode() fails to parse the 'phy-mode' property, do an
additional manual lookup, and if we find "internal" set the
corresponding internal variable accordingly.
Replace all uses of phy_is_internal() with a check against
priv->internal_phy to avoid having to rely on whether or not
priv->phydev is set correctly.

We are currently disabling the GPHY interface during bcmgenet_close(),

We are currently issuing multiple PHY resets during a suspend/resume,
first during bcmgenet_power_up() which does a hardware reset, then a
software reset by calling bcmgenet_mii_reset(). This is both unnecessary
and can take as long as 10ms per MDIO transactions while we re-apply
workarounds because we do not yet have MDIO interrupts enabled.
phy_resume() takes care of re-apply our workarounds in case we need any,
and bcmgenet_power_up() does a PHY hardware reset, all of this is more
than enough to guarantee that the PHY operates correctly.

stmmac clean up for 4.3 part1
This patch set continues the conversion of the dwmac glue layers
to more proper platform drivers. The first part of the patch set
cleans up stmmac_platform a bit. Refactors code from the common
probe function and exports two functions that will be used in
the dwmac-* drivers.
Second part converts two simple dwmac-* drivers to have their
own probe function and use the exported functions. This brings
us closer to point where stmmac_platform is only a library of
common functions for the dwmac-* drivers to use.
The plan next is:
* add probe functions to the rest of the dwmac-* drivers
* move probe function in stmmac_platform to dwmac-generic
* remove struct stmmac_of_data and let those drivers
that actually need match data handle it themselves
* clean up include/linux/stmmac.h
Note that this patch set has only been tested on lpc18xx so
testing on other platforms is greatly appreciated.

For dt the platform data structure is created and match data is

o Finer lock granularity during message sending and reception,
especially regarding usage of the node spinlock.
o Better separation between the link layer implementation and the link
aggregation layer, represented by node.c::struct tipc_node.
Hopefully these changes also make this part of code somewhat easier
to comprehend and maintain.

We convert packet/message reception according to the same principle
we have been using for message sending and timeout handling:
We move the function tipc_rcv() to node.c, hence handling the initial
packet reception at the link aggregation level. The function grabs
the node lock, selects the receiving link, and accesses it via a new
call tipc_link_rcv(). This function appends buffers to the input
queue for delivery upwards, but it may also append outgoing packets
to the xmit queue, just as we do during regular message sending. The
latter will happen when buffers are forwarded from the link backlog,
or when retransmission is requested.
Upon return of this function, and after having released the node lock,
tipc_rcv() delivers/tranmsits the contents of those queues, but it may
also perform actions such as link activation or reset, as indicated by
the return flags from the link.
This reduces the number of cpu cycles spent inside the node spinlock,
and reduces contention on that lock.
