Srinivas Kandagatla 64882709ef mdio-gpio: Add reset functionality to mdio-gpio driver(v2).
This patch adds phy reset functionality to mdio-gpio driver. Now
mdio_gpio_platform_data has new member as function pointer which can be
filled at the bsp level for a callback from phy infrastructure. Also the
mdio-bitbang driver fills-in the reset function of mii_bus structure.

Without this patch the bsp level code has to takecare of the reseting
PHY's on the bus, which become bit hacky for every bsp and
phy-infrastructure is ignored aswell.

Matti Vaittinen 4a287eba2d IPv6 routing, NLM_F_* flag support: REPLACE and EXCL flags support, warn about missing CREATE flag
The support for NLM_F_* flags at IPv6 routing requests.

If NLM_F_CREATE flag is not defined for RTM_NEWROUTE request,
warning is printed, but no error is returned. Instead new route is
added. Later NLM_F_CREATE may be required for
new route creation.

Exception is when NLM_F_REPLACE flag is given without NLM_F_CREATE, and
no matching route is found. In this case it should be safe to assume
that the request issuer is familiar with NLM_F_* flags, and does really
not want route to be created.

Specifying NLM_F_REPLACE flag will now make the kernel to search for
matching route, and replace it with new one. If no route is found and
NLM_F_CREATE is specified as well, then new route is created.

Also, specifying NLM_F_EXCL will yield returning of error if matching
route is found.

Eric Dumazet e52fcb2462 bnx2x: uses build_skb() in receive path
bnx2x uses following formula to compute its rx_buf_sz :

dev->mtu + 2*L1_CACHE_BYTES + 14 + 8 + 8 + 2

Then core network adds NET_SKB_PAD and SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct
skb_shared_info))

Final allocated size for skb head on x86_64 (L1_CACHE_BYTES = 64,
MTU=1500) : 2112 bytes : SLUB/SLAB round this to 4096 bytes.

Since skb truesize is then bigger than SK_MEM_QUANTUM, we have lot of
false sharing because of mem_reclaim in UDP stack.

One possible way to half truesize is to reduce the need by 64 bytes
(2112 -> 2048 bytes)

Instead of allocating a full cache line at the end of packet for
alignment, we can use the fact that skb_shared_info sits at the end of
skb->head, and we can use this room, if we convert bnx2x to new
build_skb() infrastructure.

skb_shared_info will be initialized after hardware finished its
transfert, so we can eventually overwrite the final padding.

Using build_skb() also reduces cache line misses in the driver, since we
use cache hot skb instead of cold ones. Number of in-flight sk_buff
structures is lower, they are recycled while still hot.

Performance results :

(820.000 pps on a rx UDP monothread benchmark, instead of 720.000 pps)

Eric Dumazet b2b5ce9d1c net: introduce build_skb()
One of the thing we discussed during netdev 2011 conference was the idea
to change some network drivers to allocate/populate their skb at RX
completion time, right before feeding the skb to network stack.

In old days, we allocated skbs when populating the RX ring.

This means bringing into cpu cache sk_buff and skb_shared_info cache
lines (since we clear/initialize them), then 'queue' skb->data to NIC.

By the time NIC fills a frame in skb->data buffer and host can process
it, cpu probably threw away the cache lines from its caches, because lot
of things happened between the allocation and final use.

So the deal would be to allocate only the data buffer for the NIC to
populate its RX ring buffer. And use build_skb() at RX completion to
attach a data buffer (now filled with an ethernet frame) to a new skb,
initialize the skb_shared_info portion, and give the hot skb to network
stack.

build_skb() is the function to allocate an skb, caller providing the
data buffer that should be attached to it. Drivers are expected to call
skb_reserve() right after build_skb() to adjust skb->data to the
Ethernet frame (usually skipping NET_SKB_PAD and NET_IP_ALIGN, but some
drivers might add a hardware provided alignment)

Data provided to build_skb() MUST have been allocated by a prior
kmalloc() call, with enough room to add SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct
skb_shared_info)) bytes at the end of the data without corrupting
incoming frame.

data = kmalloc(NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN + 1536 +
               SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)),
	       GFP_ATOMIC);
...
skb = build_skb(data);
if (!skb) {
	recycle_data(data);
} else {
	skb_reserve(skb, NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN);
	...
}

[PATCH V5 net-next] neigh: new unresolved queue limits

unres_qlen is the number of frames we are able to queue per unresolved
neighbour. Its default value (3) was never changed and is responsible
for strange drops, especially if IP fragments are used, or multiple
sessions start in parallel. Even a single tcp flow can hit this limit.

$ arp -d 192.168.20.108 ; ping -c 2 -s 8000 192.168.20.108

Andy Fleming 952c5ca14e fsl_pq_mdio: Clean up tbi address configuration
The code for setting the address of the internal TBI PHY was
convoluted enough without a maze of ifdefs. Clean it up a bit
so we allow the logic to fail down to -ENODEV at the end of
the if/else ladder, rather than using ifdefs to repeat the same
failure code over and over.

Also, remove the support for the auto-configuration. I'm not aware of
anyone using it, and it ends up using the bus mutex before it's been
initialized.

Eric Dumazet 2a24444f8f ipv6: reduce percpu needs for icmpv6msg mibs
Reading /proc/net/snmp6 on a machine with a lot of cpus is very
expensive (can be ~88000 us).

This is because ICMPV6MSG MIB uses 4096 bytes per cpu, and folding
values for all possible cpus can read 16 Mbytes of memory (32MBytes on
non x86 arches)

ICMP messages are not considered as fast path on a typical server, and
eventually few cpus handle them anyway. We can afford an atomic
operation instead of using percpu data.

This saves 4096 bytes per cpu and per network namespace.

Jiri Pirko 3d249d4ca7 net: introduce ethernet teaming device
This patch introduces new network device called team. It supposes to be
very fast, simple, userspace-driven alternative to existing bonding
driver.

Userspace library called libteam with couple of demo apps is available
here:
https://github.com/jpirko/libteam
Note it's still in its dipers atm.

team<->libteam use generic netlink for communication. That and rtnl
suppose to be the only way to configure team device, no sysfs etc.

Python binding of libteam was recently introduced.
Daemon providing arpmon/miimon active-backup functionality will be
introduced shortly. All what's necessary is already implemented in
kernel team driver.

v7->v8:
	- check ndo_ndo_vlan_rx_[add/kill]_vid functions before calling
	  them.
	- use dev_kfree_skb_any() instead of dev_kfree_skb()

v6->v7:
	- transmit and receive functions are not checked in hot paths.
	  That also resolves memory leak on transmit when no port is
	  present

v5->v6:
	- changed couple of _rcu calls to non _rcu ones in non-readers

v4->v5:
	- team_change_mtu() uses team->lock while travesing though port
	  list
	- mac address changes are moved completely to jurisdiction of
	  userspace daemon. This way the daemon can do FOM1, FOM2 and
	  possibly other weird things with mac addresses.
	  Only round-robin mode sets up all ports to bond's address then
	  enslaved.
	- Extended Kconfig text

v3->v4:
	- remove redundant synchronize_rcu from __team_change_mode()
	- revert "set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per
	  byte"
	- extend comment of function __team_change_mode()

v2->v3:
	- team_change_mtu() uses rcu version of list traversal to unwind
	- set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per byte
	- port hashlist changed to be embedded into team structure
	- error branch in team_port_enter() does cleanup now
	- fixed rtln->rtnl

v1->v2:
	- modes are made as modules. Makes team more modular and
	  extendable.
	- several commenters' nitpicks found on v1 were fixed
	- several other bugs were fixed.
	- note I ignored Eric's comment about roundrobin port selector
	  as Eric's way may be easily implemented as another mode (mode
	  "random") in future.

OK I found it, I did some extra tests and believe its ready.

[PATCH net-next] ipv4: IP_PKTINFO doesnt need dst reference

When a socket uses IP_PKTINFO notifications, we currently force a dst
reference for each received skb. Reader has to access dst to get needed
information (rt_iif & rt_spec_dst) and must release dst reference.

We also forced a dst reference if skb was put in socket backlog, even
without IP_PKTINFO handling. This happens under stress/load.

We can instead store the needed information in skb->cb[], so that only
softirq handler really access dst, improving cache hit ratios.

This removes two atomic operations per packet, and false sharing as
well.

On a benchmark using a mono threaded receiver (doing only recvmsg()
calls), I can reach 720.000 pps instead of 570.000 pps.

IP_PKTINFO is typically used by DNS servers, and any multihomed aware
UDP application.

Eric Dumazet acb32ba3de ipv4: reduce percpu needs for icmpmsg mibs
Reading /proc/net/snmp on a machine with a lot of cpus is very expensive
(can be ~88000 us).

This is because ICMPMSG MIB uses 4096 bytes per cpu, and folding values
for all possible cpus can read 16 Mbytes of memory.

ICMP messages are not considered as fast path on a typical server, and
eventually few cpus handle them anyway. We can afford an atomic
operation instead of using percpu data.

This saves 4096 bytes per cpu and per network namespace.

Eric Dumazet 9ecd04bc04 sch_choke: use skb_header_pointer()
Remove the assumption that skb_get_rxhash() makes IP header and ports
linear, and use skb_header_pointer() instead in choke_match_flow()

This permits __skb_get_rxhash() to use skb_header_pointer() eventually.

Maciej Żenczykowski f74024d9f0 net: make ipv6 bind honour freebind
This makes native ipv6 bind follow the precedent set by:
  - native ipv4 bind behaviour
  - dual stack ipv4-mapped ipv6 bind behaviour.

This does allow an unpriviledged process to spoof its source IPv6
address, just like it currently can spoof its source IPv4 address
(for example when using UDP).
