The changes introduced to allow rxrpc calls to be retried creates an issue
when it comes to refcounting afs_call structs. The problem is that when
rxrpc_send_data() queues the last packet for an asynchronous call, the
following sequence can occur:
(1) The notify_end_tx callback is invoked which causes the state in the
afs_call to be changed from AFS_CALL_CL_REQUESTING or
AFS_CALL_SV_REPLYING.
(2) afs_deliver_to_call() can then process event notifications from rxrpc
on the async_work queue.
(3) Delivery of events, such as an abort from the server, can cause the
afs_call state to be changed to AFS_CALL_COMPLETE on async_work.
(4) For an asynchronous call, afs_process_async_call() notes that the call
is complete and tried to clean up all the refs on async_work.
(5) rxrpc_send_data() might return the amount of data transferred
(success) or an error - which could in turn reflect a local error or a
received error.
Synchronising the clean up after rxrpc_kernel_send_data() returns an error
with the asynchronous cleanup is then tricky to get right.
Mostly revert commit c038a58ccfd6704d4d7d60ed3d6a0fca13cf13a4. The two API
functions the original commit added aren't currently used. This makes
rxrpc_kernel_send_data() always return successfully if it queued the data
it was given.
Note that this doesn't affect synchronous calls since their Rx notification
function merely pokes a wait queue and does not refcounting. The
asynchronous call notification function *has* to do refcounting and pass a
ref over the work item to avoid the need to sync the workqueue in call
cleanup.

Total size of allyesconfig kernel is reduced slightly, as there is
less inlined code (one conditional atomic op instead of two on
skb_clone).

The existing garbage collection algorithm has a number of problems:
1. The gc algorithm will not evict PERMANENT entries as those entries
are managed by userspace, yet the existing algorithm walks the entire
hash table which means it always considers PERMANENT entries when
looking for entries to evict. In some use cases (e.g., EVPN) there
can be tens of thousands of PERMANENT entries leading to wasted
CPU cycles when gc kicks in. As an example, with 32k permanent
entries, neigh_alloc has been observed taking more than 4 msec per
invocation.
2. Currently, when the number of neighbor entries hits gc_thresh2 and
the last flush for the table was more than 5 seconds ago gc kicks in
walks the entire hash table evicting *all* entries not in PERMANENT
or REACHABLE state and not marked as externally learned. There is no
discriminator on when the neigh entry was created or if it just moved
from REACHABLE to another NUD_VALID state (e.g., NUD_STALE).
It is possible for entries to be created or for established neighbor
entries to be moved to STALE (e.g., an external node sends an ARP
request) right before the 5 second window lapses:
-----|---------x|----------|-----
t-5 t t+5
If that happens those entries are evicted during gc causing unnecessary
thrashing on neighbor entries and userspace caches trying to track them.
Further, this contradicts the description of gc_thresh2 which says
"Entries older than 5 seconds will be cleared".
One workaround is to make gc_thresh2 == gc_thresh3 but that negates the
whole point of having separate thresholds.
3. Clearing *all* neigh non-PERMANENT/REACHABLE/externally learned entries
when gc_thresh2 is exceeded is over kill and contributes to trashing
especially during startup.
This patch addresses these problems as follows:
1. Use of a separate list_head to track entries that can be garbage
collected along with a separate counter. PERMANENT entries are not
added to this list.
The gc_thresh parameters are only compared to the new counter, not the
total entries in the table. The forced_gc function is updated to only
walk this new gc_list looking for entries to evict.
2. Entries are added to the list head at the tail and removed from the
front.
3. Entries are only evicted if they were last updated more than 5 seconds
ago, adhering to the original intent of gc_thresh2.
4. Forced gc is stopped once the number of gc_entries drops below
gc_thresh2.
5. Since gc checks do not apply to PERMANENT entries, gc levels are skipped
when allocating a new neighbor for a PERMANENT entry. By extension this
means there are no explicit limits on the number of PERMANENT entries
that can be created, but this is no different than FIB entries or FDB
entries.

Many drivers load the device's firmware image during the initialization
flow either from the flash or from the disk. Currently this option is not
controlled by the user and the driver decides from where to load the
firmware image.
'fw_load_policy' gives the ability to control this option which allows the
user to choose between different loading policies supported by the driver.
This parameter can be useful while testing and/or debugging the device. For
example, testing a firmware bug fix.

The life-checking function, which is used by kAFS to make sure that a call
is still live in the event of a pending signal, only samples the received
packet serial number counter; it doesn't actually provoke a change in the
counter, rather relying on the server to happen to give us a packet in the
time window.
Fix this by adding a function to force a ping to be transmitted.
kAFS then keeps track of whether there's been a stall, and if so, uses the
new function to ping the server, resetting the timeout to allow the reply
to come back.
If there's a stall, a ping and the call is *still* stalled in the same
place after another period, then the call will be aborted.

FQ pacing guarantees that paced packets queued by one flow do not
add head-of-line blocking for other flows.
After TCP GSO conversion, increasing limit_output_bytes to 1 MB is safe,
since this maps to 16 skbs at most in qdisc or device queues.
(or slightly more if some drivers lower {gso_max_segs|size})
We still can queue at most 1 ms worth of traffic (this can be scaled
by wifi drivers if they need to)
Tested:
# ethtool -c eth0 | egrep "tx-usecs:|tx-frames:" # 40 Gbit mlx4 NIC
tx-usecs: 16

Add a sysctl raw_l3mdev_accept to control raw socket lookup in a manner
similar to use of tcp_l3mdev_accept for stream and of udp_l3mdev_accept
for datagram sockets. Have this default to enabled for reasons of
backwards compatibility. This is so as to specify the output device
with cmsg and IP_PKTINFO, but using a socket not bound to the
corresponding VRF. This allows e.g. older ping implementations to be
run with specifying the device but without executing it in the VRF.
If the option is disabled, packets received in a VRF context are only
handled by a raw socket bound to the VRF, and correspondingly packets
in the default VRF are only handled by a socket not bound to any VRF.

not enslaved to an l3mdev and so match against an unbound socket and

Add support for the DEC FDDIcontroller 700 (DEFZA), Digital Equipment
Corporation's first-generation FDDI network interface adapter, made for
TURBOchannel and based on a discrete version of what eventually became
Motorola's widely used CAMEL chipset.
The CAMEL chipset is present for example in the DEC FDDIcontroller
TURBOchannel, EISA and PCI adapters (DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA) that we support
with the `defxx' driver, however the host bus interface logic and the
firmware API are different in the DEFZA and hence a separate driver is
required.
There isn't much to say about the driver except that it works, but there
is one peculiarity to mention. The adapter implements two Tx/Rx queue
pairs.
Of these one pair is the usual network Tx/Rx queue pair, in this case
used by the adapter to exchange frames with the ring, via the RMC (Ring
Memory Controller) chip. The Tx queue is handled directly by the RMC
chip and resides in onboard packet memory. The Rx queue is maintained
via DMA in host memory by adapter's firmware copying received data
stored by the RMC in onboard packet memory.
The other pair is used to communicate SMT frames with adapter's
firmware. Any SMT frame received from the RMC via the Rx queue must be
queued back by the driver to the SMT Rx queue for the firmware to
process. Similarly the firmware uses the SMT Tx queue to supply the
driver with SMT frames that must be queued back to the Tx queue for the
RMC to send to the ring.
This solution was chosen because the designers ran out of PCB space and
could not squeeze in more logic onto the board that would be required to
handle this SMT frame traffic without the need to involve the driver, as
with the later DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapters.
Finally the driver does some Frame Control byte decoding, so to avoid
magic numbers some macros are added to <linux/if_fddi.h>.

Another difference between IPv4 and IPv6 is the generation of RTM_DELROUTE
notifications when a device is taken down (admin down) or deleted. IPv4
does not generate a message for routes evicted by the down or delete;
IPv6 does. A NOS at scale really needs to avoid these messages and have
IPv4 and IPv6 behave similarly, relying on userspace to handle link
notifications and evict the routes.
At this point existing user behavior needs to be preserved. Since
notifications are a global action (not per app) the only way to preserve
existing behavior and allow the messages to be skipped is to add a new
sysctl (net/ipv6/route/skip_notify_on_dev_down) which can be set to
disable the notificatioons.
IPv6 route code already supports the option to skip the message (it is
used for multipath routes for example). Besides the new sysctl we need
to pass the skip_notify setting through the generic fib6_clean and
fib6_walk functions to fib6_clean_node and to set skip_notify on calls
to __ip_del_rt for the addrconf_ifdown path.

Alexei Starovoitov says:
====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2018-10-08
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
The main changes are:
1) sk_lookup_[tcp|udp] and sk_release helpers from Joe Stringer which allow
BPF programs to perform lookups for sockets in a network namespace. This would
allow programs to determine early on in processing whether the stack is
expecting to receive the packet, and perform some action (eg drop,
forward somewhere) based on this information.
2) per-cpu cgroup local storage from Roman Gushchin.
Per-cpu cgroup local storage is very similar to simple cgroup storage
except all the data is per-cpu. The main goal of per-cpu variant is to
implement super fast counters (e.g. packet counters), which don't require
neither lookups, neither atomic operations in a fast path.
The example of these hybrid counters is in selftests/bpf/netcnt_prog.c
3) allow HW offload of programs with BPF-to-BPF function calls from Quentin Monnet
4) support more than 64-byte key/value in HW offloaded BPF maps from Jakub Kicinski
5) rename of libbpf interfaces from Andrey Ignatov.
libbpf is maturing as a library and should follow good practices in
library design and implementation to play well with other libraries.
This patch set brings consistent naming convention to global symbols.
6) relicense libbpf as LGPL-2.1 OR BSD-2-Clause from Alexei Starovoitov
to let Apache2 projects use libbpf
7) various AF_XDP fixes from Björn and Magnus

bpf_asm and the other classic BPF tools support jump conditions
comparing register A to register X, in addition to comparing
register A with constant K.
Only the latter was documented in filter.txt, add two new addressing
modes that describe the former.
