Eric Dumazet d7e8883cfc net: make GRO aware of skb->head_frag
GRO can check if skb to be merged has its skb->head mapped to a page
fragment, instead of a kmalloc() area.

We 'upgrade' skb->head as a fragment in itself

This avoids the frag_list fallback, and permits to build true GRO skb
(one sk_buff and up to 16 fragments), using less memory.

This reduces number of cache misses when user makes its copy, since a
single sk_buff is fetched.

This is a followup of patch "net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment"

Eric Dumazet d3836f21b0 net: allow skb->head to be a page fragment
skb->head is currently allocated from kmalloc(). This is convenient but
has the drawback the data cannot be converted to a page fragment if
needed.

We have three spots were it hurts :

1) GRO aggregation

 When a linear skb must be appended to another skb, GRO uses the
frag_list fallback, very inefficient since we keep all struct sk_buff
around. So drivers enabling GRO but delivering linear skbs to network
stack aren't enabling full GRO power.

2) splice(socket -> pipe).

 We must copy the linear part to a page fragment.
 This kind of defeats splice() purpose (zero copy claim)

3) TCP coalescing.

 Recently introduced, this permits to group several contiguous segments
into a single skb. This shortens queue lengths and save kernel memory,
and greatly reduce probabilities of TCP collapses. This coalescing
doesnt work on linear skbs (or we would need to copy data, this would be
too slow)

Given all these issues, the following patch introduces the possibility
of having skb->head be a fragment in itself. We use a new skb flag,
skb->head_frag to carry this information.

build_skb() is changed to accept a frag_size argument. Drivers willing
to provide a page fragment instead of kmalloc() data will set a non zero
value, set to the fragment size.

Then, on situations we need to convert the skb head to a frag in itself,
we can check if skb->head_frag is set and avoid the copies or various
fallbacks we have.

This means drivers currently using frags could be updated to avoid the
current skb->head allocation and reduce their memory footprint (aka skb
truesize). (thats 512 or 1024 bytes saved per skb). This also makes
bpf/netfilter faster since the 'first frag' will be part of skb linear
part, no need to copy data.

added a slowdown for splice(socket -> pipe), as we might grow the spd

Its not needed since skb lengths are capped. The default on-stack arrays
are more than enough.

Use MAX_SKB_FRAGS instead of PIPE_DEF_BUFFERS to describe the reasonable
limit per skb.

Eric W. Biederman 4344475797 net: Kill register_sysctl_rotable
register_sysctl_rotable never caught on as an interesting way to
register sysctls.  My take on the situation is that what we want are
sysctls that we can only see in the initial network namespace.  What we
have implemented with register_sysctl_rotable are sysctls that we can
see in all of the network namespaces and can only change in the initial
network namespace.

That is a very silly way to go.  Just register the network sysctls
in the initial network namespace and we don't have any weird special
cases to deal with.

The sysctls affected are:
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ipfrag_secret_interval
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ipfrag_max_dist
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/ip6frag_secret_interval
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/mld_max_msf

I really don't expect anyone will miss them if they can't read them in a
child user namespace.

John Fastabend 77162022ab net: add generic PF_BRIDGE:RTM_ FDB hooks
This adds two new flags NTF_MASTER and NTF_SELF that can
now be used to specify where PF_BRIDGE netlink commands should
be sent. NTF_MASTER sends the commands to the 'dev->master'
device for parsing. Typically this will be the linux net/bridge,
or open-vswitch devices. Also without any flags set the command
will be handled by the master device as well so that current user
space tools continue to work as expected.

The NTF_SELF flag will push the PF_BRIDGE commands to the
device. In the basic example below the commands are then parsed
and programmed in the embedded bridge.

Note if both NTF_SELF and NTF_MASTER bits are set then the
command will be sent to both 'dev->master' and 'dev' this allows
user space to easily keep the embedded bridge and software bridge
in sync.

There is a slight complication in the case with both flags set
when an error occurs. To resolve this the rtnl handler clears
the NTF_ flag in the netlink ack to indicate which sets completed
successfully. The add/del handlers will abort as soon as any
error occurs.

To support this new net device ops were added to call into
the device and the existing bridging code was refactored
to use these. There should be no required changes in user space
to support the current bridge behavior.

A basic setup with a SR-IOV enabled NIC looks like this,

          veth0  veth2
            |      |
          ------------
          |  bridge0 |   <---- software bridging
          ------------
               /
               /
  ethx.y      ethx
    VF         PF
     \         \          <---- propagate FDB entries to HW
     \         \
  --------------------
  |  Embedded Bridge |    <---- hardware offloaded switching
  --------------------

In this case the embedded bridge must be managed to allow 'veth0'
to communicate with 'ethx.y' correctly. At present drivers managing
the embedded bridge either send frames onto the network which
then get dropped by the switch OR the embedded bridge will flood
these frames. With this patch we have a mechanism to manage the
embedded bridge correctly from user space. This example is specific
to SR-IOV but replacing the VF with another PF or dropping this
into the DSA framework generates similar management issues.

Examples session using the 'br'[1] tool to add, dump and then
delete a mac address with a new "embedded" option and enabled
ixgbe driver:

# br fdb add 22:35:19:ac:60:59 dev eth3
# br fdb
port    mac addr                flags

#br fdb add 22:35:19:ac:60:59 embedded dev eth3

eth3    22:35:19:ac:60:59       local embedded
#br fdb del 22:35:19:ac:60:59 embedded dev eth3

I added a couple lines to 'br' to set the flags correctly is all. It
is my opinion that the merit of this patch is now embedded and SW
bridges can both be modeled correctly in user space using very nearly
the same message passing.

Eric Dumazet 87151b8689 net: allow pskb_expand_head() to get maximum tailroom
Marc Merlin reported many order-1 allocations failures in TX path on its
wireless setup, that dont make any sense with MTU=1500 network, and non
SG capable hardware.

Turns out part of the problem comes from pskb_expand_head() not using
ksize() to get exact head size given by kmalloc(). Doing the same thing
than __alloc_skb() allows more tailroom in skb and can prevent future
reallocations.

As a bonus, struct skb_shared_info becomes cache line aligned.

Eric Dumazet 110c43304d net: fix a race in sock_queue_err_skb()
As soon as an skb is queued into socket error queue, another thread
can consume it, so we are not allowed to reference skb anymore, or risk
use after free.

Eric Dumazet 51c56b004e net: remove k{un}map_skb_frag()
Since commit 3e4d3af501 (mm: stack based kmap_atomic()) we dont have
to disable BH anymore while mapping skb frags.

We can remove kmap_skb_frag() / kunmap_skb_frag() helpers and use
kmap_atomic() / kunmap_atomic()

Richard Cochran 02eacbd0c4 ethtool: Add a common function for drivers with transmit time stamping.
Currently, most drivers do not support transmit SO_TIMESTAMPING. For those
that do support it, there is one appropriate response to the get_ts_info
query. This patch adds a common function providing this response.

Richard Cochran c8f3a8c310 ethtool: Introduce a method for getting time stamping capabilities.
This commit adds a new ethtool ioctl that exposes the SO_TIMESTAMPING
capabilities of a network interface. In addition, user space programs
can use this ioctl to discover the PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) device
associated with the interface.

Since software receive time stamps are handled by the stack, the generic
ethtool code can answer the query correctly in case the MAC or PHY
drivers lack special time stamping features.

Jan Seiffert f03fb3f455 bpf jit: Make the filter.c::__load_pointer helper non-static for the jits
The function is renamed to make it a little more clear what it does.
It is not added to any .h because it is not for general consumption, only for
bpf internal use (and so by the jits).

Eric Dumazet 2def16ae6b net: fix /proc/net/dev regression
Commit f04565ddf5 (dev: use name hash for dev_seq_ops) added a second
regression, as some devices are missing from /proc/net/dev if many
devices are defined.

When seq_file buffer is filled, the last ->next/show() method is
canceled (pos value is reverted to value prior ->next() call)

Problem is after above commit, we dont restart the lookup at right
position in ->start() method.

Fix this by removing the internal 'pos' pointer added in commit, since
we need to use the 'loff_t *pos' provided by seq_file layer.

This also reverts commit 5cac98dd0 (net: Fix corruption
in /proc/*/net/dev_mcast), since its not needed anymore.

Linus Torvalds ed359a3b7b Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Provide device string properly for USB i2400m wimax devices, also
    don't OOPS when providing firmware string.  From Phil Sutter.

 2) Add support for sh_eth SH7734 chips, from Nobuhiro Iwamatsu.

 3) Add another device ID to USB zaurus driver, from Guan Xin.

 4) Loop index start in pool vector iterator is wrong causing MAC to not
    get configured in bnx2x driver, fix from Dmitry Kravkov.

 5) EQL driver assumes HZ=100, fix from Eric Dumazet.

 6) Now that skb_add_rx_frag() can specify the truesize increment
    separately, do so in f_phonet and cdc_phonet, also from Eric
    Dumazet.

 7) virtio_net accidently uses net_ratelimit() not only on the kernel
    warning but also the statistic bump, fix from Rick Jones.

 8) ip_route_input_mc() uses fixed init_net namespace, oops, use
    dev_net(dev) instead.  Fix from Benjamin LaHaise.

 9) dev_forward_skb() needs to clear the incoming interface index of the
    SKB so that it looks like a new incoming packet, also from Benjamin
    LaHaise.

10) iwlwifi mistakenly initializes a channel entry as 2GHZ instead of
    5GHZ, fix from Stanislav Yakovlev.

11) Missing kmalloc() return value checks in orinoco, from Santosh
    Nayak.

12) ath9k doesn't check for HT capabilities in the right way, it is
    checking ht_supported instead of the ATH9K_HW_CAP_HT flag.  Fix from
    Sujith Manoharan.

13) Fix x86 BPF JIT emission of 16-bit immediate field of AND
    instructions, from Feiran Zhuang.

14) Avoid infinite loop in GARP code when registering sysfs entries.
    From David Ward.

15) rose protocol uses memcpy instead of memcmp in a device address
    comparison, oops.  Fix from Daniel Borkmann.

16) Fix build of lpc_eth due to dev_hw_addr_rancom() interface being
    renamed to eth_hw_addr_random().  From Roland Stigge.

17) Make ipv6 RTM_GETROUTE interpret RTA_IIF attribute the same way
    that ipv4 does.  Fix from Shmulik Ladkani.

18) via-rhine has an inverted bit test, causing suspend/resume
    regressions.  Fix from Andreas Mohr.

19) RIONET assumes 4K page size, fix from Akinobu Mita.

20) Initialization of imask register in sky2 is buggy, because bits are
    "or'd" into an uninitialized local variable.  Fix from Lino
    Sanfilippo.

21) Fix FCOE checksum offload handling, from Yi Zou.

22) Fix VLAN processing regression in e1000, from Jiri Pirko.

The standard ways of probing a device's promiscuity
(ifi_flags, for instance) does not report the actual
state of the device.  This patch adds dev->promiscuity
to the netlink netdevice report so that users can know
