One known problem with netlink is the fact that NLMSG_GOODSIZE is
really small on PAGE_SIZE==4096 architectures, and it is difficult
to know in advance what buffer size is used by the application.
This patch adds an automatic learning of the size.
First netlink message will still be limited to ~4K, but if user used
bigger buffers, then following messages will be able to use up to 16KB.
This speedups dump() operations by a large factor and should be safe

For the "fsl,etsec2" compatible models the driver currently
supports 8 Tx and Rx DMA rings (aka HW queues). However, there
are only 2 pairs of Rx/Tx interrupt lines, as these controllers
are integrated in low power SoCs with 2 CPUs at most. As a result,
there are at most 2 NAPI instances that have to service multiple
Tx and Rx queues for these devices. This complicates the NAPI
polling routine having to iterate over the mutiple Rx/Tx queues
hooked to the same interrupt lines. And there's also an overhead
at HW level, as the controller needs to service all the 8 Tx rings
in a round robin manner. The combined overhead shows up for multi
parallel Tx flows transmitted by the kernel stack, when the driver
usually starts returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY leading to NETDEV WATCHDOG
Tx timeout triggering if the Tx path is congested for too long.
As an alternative, this patch makes the driver support only one
Tx/Rx DMA ring per NAPI instance (per interrupt group or pair
of Tx/Rx interrupt lines) by default. The simplified single queue
polling routine (gfar_poll_sq) will be the default napi poll routine
for the etsec2 devices too. Some adjustments needed to be made to
link the Tx/Rx HW queues with each NAPI instance (2 in this case).
The gfar_poll_sq() is already successfully used by older SQ_SG_MODE
(single interrupt group) controllers.
This patch fixes Tx timeout triggering under heavy Tx traffic load
(i.e. iperf -c -P 8) for the "fsl,etsec2" (currently the only
MQ_MG_MODE devices). There's also a significant memory footprint
reduction by supporting 2 Rx/Tx DMA rings (at most), instead of 8,
for these devices.

There are some concurrency issues on devices w/ 2 CPUs related
to the handling of Rx and Tx interrupts. eTSEC has separate
interrupt lines for Rx and Tx but a single imask register
to mask these interrupts and a single NAPI instance to handle
both Rx and Tx work. As a result, the Rx and Tx ISRs are
identical, both are invoking gfar_schedule_cleanup(), however
both handlers can be entered at the same time when the Rx and
Tx interrupts are taken by different CPUs. In this case
spurrious interrupts (SPU) show up (in /proc/interrupts)
indicating a concurrency issue. Also, Tx overruns followed
by Tx timeout have been observed under heavy Tx traffic load.
To address these issues, the schedule cleanup ISR part has
been changed to handle the Rx and Tx interrupts independently.
The patch adds a separate NAPI poll routine for Tx cleanup to
be triggerred independently by the Tx confirmation interrupts
only. Existing poll functions are modified to handle only
the Rx path processing. The Tx poll routine does not need a
budget, since Tx processing doesn't consume NAPI budget, and
hence it is registered with minimum NAPI weight.
NAPI scheduling does not require locking since there are
different NAPI instances between the Rx and Tx confirmation
paths now.
So, the patch fixes the occurence of spurrious Rx/Tx interrupts.
Tx overruns also occur less frequently now.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates
This series contains updates to e1000e, ixgbevf and igb.
Majority of this series contains fixes and cleanups to e1000e,
most notably are:
Todd provides a fix to PTP in e1000e which adds a lock in e1000e_phc_adjfreq
to prevent concurrent changes to TIMINCA and SYSTIMH/L. Then provides an
igb fix to use ARRAY_SIZE for array size calculation.
David provides the remaining e1000e which contain:
- cleanup of pointer references that are no longer used
- fix an issue on systems with Management Engine enabled with the
ethernet cable unplugged
- fix an issue on 82579 where enabling EEE LPI sooner than one second
after link up causes link issues on some switches
- refactor the power management flows to prevent the suspend path from
being executed twice when hibernating
- refactor the runtime power management to fix interfering with the
functionality of Energy Efficient Ethernet when enabled and to fix
the device from repeatedly flip between suspend and resume with the
interface administratively downed
- enable the feature PHY Ultra Low Power Mode which is a power saving
feature that reduces the power consumption of the PHY when a cable is
not connected
- fix the ethtool offline tests for 82579 parts
- fix SHRA register access for 82579 parts which was introduced by
previous commit c3a0dce35a "e1000e: fix overrun of PHY RAR array"
Florian provides a fix for ixgbevf where skb->pkt_type was being checked
like a bitmask, but it is not a bitmask.
Fix an issue reported by Stephen Hemminger where there was a warning
about code defined but never used if IGB_HWMON is not defined.

Previous commit c3a0dce35a fixed an overrun for the RAR on i218 devices.

assigning MAC addresses to guest OS's for 82579 devices.
Only RAR[0] is accessible to the driver for 82579 parts, and additional
addresses must be placed into the SHRA[L|H] registers. The rar_entry_count
was changed in the previous commit to an inaccurate value that accounted
for all RAR and SHRA registers, not just the ones usable by the driver.

ULP is a power saving feature that reduces the power consumption of the
PHY when a cable is not connected.
ULP is gated on the following conditions:
1) The hardware must support ULP. Currently this is only I218
devices from Intel
2) ULP is initiated by the driver, so, no driver results in no ULP.
3) ULP's implementation utilizes Runtime Power Management to toggle its
execution. ULP is enabled/disabled based on the state of Runtime PM.
4) ULP is not active when wake-on-unicast, multicast or broadcast is active
as these features are mutually-exclusive.
Since the PHY is in an unavailable state while ULP is active, any access
of the PHY registers will fail. This is resolved by utilizing kernel
calls that cause the device to exit Runtime PM (e.g. pm_runtime_get_sync)
and then, after PHY access is complete, allow the device to resume
Runtime PM (e.g. pm_runtime_put_sync).
Under certain conditions, toggling the LANPHYPC is necessary to disable
ULP mode. Break out existing code to toggle LANPHYPC to a new function
to avoid code duplication.

Refactor the system power management flows to prevent the suspend path from
being executed twice when hibernating since both the freeze and
poweroff callbacks were set to e1000_suspend() via SET_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS.
There are HW workarounds that are performed during this flow and calling

On a ME enabled system with the cable out, the driver init flow would
generate an erroneous message indicating that resets were being blocked
by an active ME session. Cause was ME clearing the semaphore bit to
block further PHY resets for up to 50 msec during power-on/cycle. After
this interval, ME would re-set the bit and allow PHY resets.
To resolve this, change the flow of e1000e_phy_hw_reset_generic() to
utilize a delay and retry method. Poll the FWSM register to minimize
any extra time added to the flow. If the delay times out at 100ms
(checked in 10msec increments), then return the value E1000_BLK_PHY_RESET,
as this is the accurate state of the PHY. Attempting to alter just the
call to e1000e_phy_hw_reset_generic() in e1000_init_phy_workarounds_pchlan()
just caused the problem to move further down the flow.

net-next: AF_RXRPC fixes and development
Here are some AF_RXRPC fixes:
(1) Fix to remove incorrect checksum calculation made during recvmsg(). It's
unnecessary to try to do this there since we check the checksum before
reading the RxRPC header from the packet.
(2) Fix to prevent the sending of an ABORT packet in response to another
ABORT packet and inducing a storm.
(3) Fix UDP MTU calculation from parsing ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED packets where we
don't handle the ICMP packet not specifying an MTU size.
And development patches:
(4) Add sysctls for configuring RxRPC parameters, specifically various delays
pertaining to ACK generation, the time before we resend a packet for
which we don't receive an ACK, the maximum time a call is permitted to
live and the amount of time transport, connection and dead call
information is cached.
(5) Improve ACK packet production by adjusting the handling of ACK_REQUESTED
packets, ignoring the MORE_PACKETS flag, delaying the production of
otherwise immediate ACK_IDLE packets and delaying all ACK_IDLE production
(barring the call termination) to half a second.
(6) Add more sysctl parameters to expose the Rx window size, the maximum
packet size that we're willing to receive and the number of jumbo rxrpc
packets we're willing to handle in a single UDP packet.
(7) Request ACKs on alternate DATA packets so that the other side doesn't
wait till we fill up the Tx window.
(8) Use a RCU hash table to look up the rxrpc_call for an incoming packet
rather than stepping through a hierarchy involving several spinlocks.

xen-netback: TX grant mapping with SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY instead of copy
A long known problem of the upstream netback implementation that on the TX
path (from guest to Dom0) it copies the whole packet from guest memory into
Dom0. That simply became a bottleneck with 10Gb NICs, and generally it's a
huge perfomance penalty. The classic kernel version of netback used grant
mapping, and to get notified when the page can be unmapped, it used page
destructors. Unfortunately that destructor is not an upstreamable solution.
Ian Campbell's skb fragment destructor patch series [1] tried to solve this
problem, however it seems to be very invasive on the network stack's code,
and therefore haven't progressed very well.
This patch series use SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY flags to tell the stack it needs to
know when the skb is freed up. That is the way KVM solved the same problem,
and based on my initial tests it can do the same for us. Avoiding the extra
copy boosted up TX throughput from 6.8 Gbps to 7.9 (I used a slower AMD
Interlagos box, both Dom0 and guest on upstream kernel, on the same NUMA node,
running iperf 2.0.5, and the remote end was a bare metal box on the same 10Gb
switch)
Based on my investigations the packet get only copied if it is delivered to
Dom0 IP stack through deliver_skb, which is due to this [2] patch. This affects
DomU->Dom0 IP traffic and when Dom0 does routing/NAT for the guest. That's a bit
unfortunate, but luckily it doesn't cause a major regression for this usecase.
In the future we should try to eliminate that copy somehow.
There are a few spinoff tasks which will be addressed in separate patches:
- grant copy the header directly instead of map and memcpy. This should help
us avoiding TLB flushing
- use something else than ballooned pages
- fix grant map to use page->index properly
I've tried to broke it down to smaller patches, with mixed results, so I
welcome suggestions on that part as well:
1: Use skb->cb to store pending_idx
2: Some refactoring
3: Change RX path for mapped SKB fragments (moved here to keep bisectability,
review it after #4)
4: Introduce TX grant mapping
5: Remove old TX grant copy definitons and fix indentations
6: Add stat counters for zerocopy
7: Handle guests with too many frags
8: Timeout packets in RX path
9: Aggregate TX unmap operations
v2: I've fixed some smaller things, see the individual patches. I've added a
few new stat counters, and handling the important use case when an older guest
sends lots of slots. Instead of delayed copy now we timeout packets on the RX
path, based on the assumption that otherwise packets should get stucked
anywhere else. Finally some unmap batching to avoid too much TLB flush
v3: Apart from fixing a few things mentioned in responses the important change
is the use the hypercall directly for grant [un]mapping, therefore we can
avoid m2p override.
v4: Now we are using a new grant mapping API to avoid m2p_override. The RX queue
timeout logic changed also.
v5: Only minor fixes based on Wei's comments
v6: Important bugfixes for xenvif_poll exit path and zerocopy callback, see
first 2 patches. Also rework of handling packets with too many slots, and
reorder the series a bit.
v7: Small fixes in comments/log messages/error paths, and merging the frag
overflow stats patch into its parent.

Unmapping causes TLB flushing, therefore we should make it in the largest
possible batches. However we shouldn't starve the guest for too long. So if
the guest has space for at least two big packets and we don't have at least a
quarter ring to unmap, delay it for at most 1 milisec.

A malicious or buggy guest can leave its queue filled indefinitely, in which
case qdisc start to queue packets for that VIF. If those packets came from an
another guest, it can block its slots and prevent shutdown. To avoid that, we
make sure the queue is drained in every 10 seconds.
The QDisc queue in worst case takes 3 round to flush usually.

Xen network protocol had implicit dependency on MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Netback has to
handle guests sending up to XEN_NETBK_LEGACY_SLOTS_MAX slots. To achieve that:
- create a new skb
- map the leftover slots to its frags (no linear buffer here!)
- chain it to the previous through skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list
- map them
- copy and coalesce the frags into a brand new one and send it to the stack
- unmap the 2 old skb's pages
It's also introduces new stat counters, which help determine how often the guest
sends a packet with more than MAX_SKB_FRAGS frags.
NOTE: if bisect brought you here, you should apply the series up until
"xen-netback: Timeout packets in RX path", otherwise malicious guests can block
other guests by not releasing their sent packets.

These counters help determine how often the buffers had to be copied. Also
they help find out if packets are leaked, as if "sent != success + fail",
there are probably packets never freed up properly.

"xen-netback: Timeout packets in RX path", otherwise Windows guests can't work
properly and malicious guests can block other guests by not releasing their sent
packets.

These became obsolete with grant mapping. I've left intentionally the
indentations in this way, to improve readability of previous patches.

This patch introduces grant mapping on netback TX path. It replaces grant copy
operations, ditching grant copy coalescing along the way. Another solution for
copy coalescing is introduced in "xen-netback: Handle guests with too many
frags", older guests and Windows can broke before that patch applies.
There is a callback (xenvif_zerocopy_callback) from core stack to release the
slots back to the guests when kfree_skb or skb_orphan_frags called. It feeds a
separate dealloc thread, as scheduling NAPI instance from there is inefficient,
therefore we can't do dealloc from the instance.

RX path need to know if the SKB fragments are stored on pages from another
domain.
Logically this patch should be after introducing the grant mapping itself, as
it makes sense only after that. But to keep bisectability, I moved it here. It
shouldn't change any functionality here. xenvif_zerocopy_callback and
ubuf_to_vif are just stubs here, they will be introduced properly later on.

This patch contains a few bits of refactoring before introducing the grant
mapping changes:
- introducing xenvif_tx_pending_slots_available(), as this is used several
times, and will be used more often
- rename the thread to vifX.Y-guest-rx, to signify it does RX work from the
guest point of view

Storing the pending_idx at the first byte of the linear buffer never looked
good, skb->cb is a more proper place for this. It also prevents the header to
be directly grant copied there, and we don't have the pending_idx after we
copied the header here, so it's time to change it.
It also introduces helpers for the RX side
