As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold
pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that
allocation requests can take advantage of. Juding from the users of
__GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying
other sites instead of actually measuring the impact. Remove the
__GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page
allocator.
This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the
per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu
list can often fit in the L3 cache. Hence, there is only a potential
benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop. It's
even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance
of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the
zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway.
The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the
allocation path and not the free path. A page fault microbenchmark was
tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising
given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the
fault path.

ndo_xdp is a control path callback for setting up XDP in the
driver. We can reuse it for other forms of communication
between the eBPF stack and the drivers. Rename the callback
and associated structures and definitions.

This work enables generic transfer of metadata from XDP into skb. The
basic idea is that we can make use of the fact that the resulting skb
must be linear and already comes with a larger headroom for supporting
bpf_xdp_adjust_head(), which mangles xdp->data. Here, we base our work
on a similar principle and introduce a small helper bpf_xdp_adjust_meta()
for adjusting a new pointer called xdp->data_meta. Thus, the packet has
a flexible and programmable room for meta data, followed by the actual
packet data. struct xdp_buff is therefore laid out that we first point
to data_hard_start, then data_meta directly prepended to data followed
by data_end marking the end of packet. bpf_xdp_adjust_head() takes into
account whether we have meta data already prepended and if so, memmove()s
this along with the given offset provided there's enough room.
xdp->data_meta is optional and programs are not required to use it. The
rationale is that when we process the packet in XDP (e.g. as DoS filter),
we can push further meta data along with it for the XDP_PASS case, and
give the guarantee that a clsact ingress BPF program on the same device
can pick this up for further post-processing. Since we work with skb
there, we can also set skb->mark, skb->priority or other skb meta data
out of BPF, thus having this scratch space generic and programmable
allows for more flexibility than defining a direct 1:1 transfer of
potentially new XDP members into skb (it's also more efficient as we
don't need to initialize/handle each of such new members). The facility
also works together with GRO aggregation. The scratch space at the head
of the packet can be multiple of 4 byte up to 32 byte large. Drivers not
yet supporting xdp->data_meta can simply be set up with xdp->data_meta
as xdp->data + 1 as bpf_xdp_adjust_meta() will detect this and bail out,
such that the subsequent match against xdp->data for later access is
guaranteed to fail.
The verifier treats xdp->data_meta/xdp->data the same way as we treat
xdp->data/xdp->data_end pointer comparisons. The requirement for doing
the compare against xdp->data is that it hasn't been modified from it's
original address we got from ctx access. It may have a range marking
already from prior successful xdp->data/xdp->data_end pointer comparisons
though.

Seth Forshee noticed a performance degradation with some workloads.
This turns out to be due to packet drops. Euan Kemp noticed that this
is because we drop all packets where length exceeds the truesize, but
for some packets we add in extra memory without updating the truesize.
This in turn was kept around unchanged from ab7db91705e95 ("virtio-net:
auto-tune mergeable rx buffer size for improved performance"). That
commit had an internal reason not to account for the extra space: not
enough bits to do it. No longer true so let's account for the allocated
length exactly.
Many thanks to Seth Forshee for the report and bisecting and Euan Kemp
for debugging the issue.

After removing the reset function, the freeze and restore functions

static void virtnet_freeze_down(struct virtio_device *vdev)
A more robust way to do this is to remove the #ifdef around the callers
and instead mark them as __maybe_unused. The compiler will now just
silently drop the unused code.

We currently reset the device during XDP set, the main reason is
that we allocate more headroom with XDP (for header adjustment).
This works but causes network downtime for users.
Previous patches encoded the headroom in the buffer context,
this makes it possible to detect the case where a buffer
with headroom insufficient for XDP is added to the queue and
XDP is enabled afterwards.
Upon detection, we handle this case by copying the packet
(slow, but it's a temporary condition).

Small follow-up to d74a32acd59a ("xdp: use netlink extended ACK reporting")
in order to let drivers all use the same NL_SET_ERR_MSG_MOD() helper macro
for reporting. This also ensures that we consistently add the driver's
prefix for dumping the report in user space to indicate that the error
message is driver specific and not coming from core code. Furthermore,
NL_SET_ERR_MSG_MOD() now reuses NL_SET_ERR_MSG() and thus makes all macros
check the pointer as suggested.

Convert virtio-net to a standard napi tx completion path. This enables
better TCP pacing using TCP small queues and increases single stream
throughput.
The virtio-net driver currently cleans tx descriptors on transmission
of new packets in ndo_start_xmit. Latency depends on new traffic, so
is unbounded. To avoid deadlock when a socket reaches its snd limit,
packets are orphaned on tranmission. This breaks socket backpressure,
including TSQ.
Napi increases the number of interrupts generated compared to the
current model, which keeps interrupts disabled as long as the ring
has enough free descriptors. Keep tx napi optional and disabled for
now. Follow-on patches will reduce the interrupt cost.

Conflicts were simply overlapping changes. In the net/ipv4/route.c
case the code had simply moved around a little bit and the same fix
was made in both 'net' and 'net-next'.
In the net/sched/sch_generic.c case a fix in 'net' happened at
the same time that a new argument was added to qdisc_hash_add().
