f9d8a53784 batman-adv: print the CRC together with the translation tables
To simplify debugging operations, it is better to print the related
CRC together with the translation table (local CRC for the local
table and global CRC for each entry in the global table)

7cf4d520fd batman-adv: reduce local TT entry timeout to 10 minutes
The current timeout is set to one hour. However a client connected to the mesh
network will always generate traffic. In the worst case it will send ARP
requests every 4 or 5 minutes. On the other hand having a long timeout means
storing dead entries for one hour and it leads to very big trans-tables
containing useless clients.

This patch reduces the timeout to 10 minutes

02233e0c75 batman-adv: Do not add multicast MAC addresses to translation table
The current translation table mechanism is not suitable for multicast
addresses and we are currently flooding such frames anyway.

Therefore this patch prevents multicast MAC addresses being added to the
translation table.

When testing with FCoE enabled we discovered that I had not exported
__netdev_pick_tx.  As a result ixgbe doesn't build with the RFC patches
applied because ixgbe_select_queue was calling the function.  This change
corrects that build issue by correctly exporting __netdev_pick_tx so it

This patch makes it so that we can support transmit packet steering without

01c5f864e6 net: Rewrite netif_set_xps_queues to address several issues
This change is meant to address several issues I found within the
netif_set_xps_queues function.

If the allocation of one of the maps to be assigned to new_dev_maps failed
we could end up with the device map in an inconsistent state since we had
already worked through a number of CPUs and removed or added the queue.  To
address that I split the process into several steps.  The first of which is
just the allocation of updated maps for CPUs that will need larger maps to
store the queue.  By doing this we can fail gracefully without actually
altering the contents of the current device map.

The second issue I found was the fact that we were always allocating a new
device map even if we were not adding any queues.  I have updated the code
so that we only allocate a new device map if we are adding queues,
otherwise if we are not adding any queues to CPUs we just skip to the
removal process.

The last change I made was to reuse the code from remove_xps_queue to remove
the queue from the CPU.  By making this change we can be consistent in how
we go about adding and removing the queues from the CPUs.

10cdc3f3cd net: Rewrite netif_reset_xps_queue to allow for better code reuse
This patch does a minor refactor on netif_reset_xps_queue to address a few
items I noticed.

First is the fact that we are doing removal of queues in both
netif_reset_xps_queue and netif_set_xps_queue.  Since there is no need to
have the code in two places I am pushing it out into a separate function
and will come back in another patch and reuse the code in
netif_set_xps_queue.

The second item this change addresses is the fact that the Tx queues were
not getting their numa_node value cleared as a part of the XPS queue reset.
This patch resolves that by resetting the numa_node value if the dev_maps
value is set.

537c00de1c net: Add functions netif_reset_xps_queue and netif_set_xps_queue
This patch adds two functions, netif_reset_xps_queue and
netif_set_xps_queue.  The main idea behind these two functions is to
provide a mechanism through which drivers can update their defaults in
regards to XPS.

Currently no such mechanism exists and as a result we cannot use XPS for
things such as ATR which would require a basic configuration to start in
which the Tx queues are mapped to CPUs via a 1:1 mapping.  With this change
I am making it possible for drivers such as ixgbe to be able to use the XPS
feature by controlling the default configuration.

1def9238d4 net_sched: more precise pkt_len computation
One long standing problem with TSO/GSO/GRO packets is that skb->len
doesn't represent a precise amount of bytes on wire.

Headers are only accounted for the first segment.
For TCP, thats typically 66 bytes per 1448 bytes segment missing,
an error of 4.5 % for normal MSS value.

As consequences :

1) TBF/CBQ/HTB/NETEM/... can send more bytes than the assigned limits.
2) Device stats are slightly under estimated as well.

Fix this by taking account of headers in qdisc_skb_cb(skb)->pkt_len
computation.

Packet schedulers should use qdisc pkt_len instead of skb->len for their
bandwidth limitations, and TSO enabled devices drivers could use pkt_len
if their statistics are not hardware assisted, and if they don't scratch
skb->cb[] first word.

Both egress and ingress paths work, thanks to commit fda55eca5a
(net: introduce skb_transport_header_was_set()) : If GRO built
a GSO packet, it also set the transport header for us.

Note that network stacks usually reset the transport header anyway,
after pulling the network header, so this change only allows
a followup patch to have more precise qdisc pkt_len computation
for GSO packets at ingress side.

b7dc8c3959 ndisc: Remove unused space at tail of skb for ndisc messages. (TAKE 3)
Currently, the size of skb allocated for NDISC is MAX_HEADER +
LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) + packet length + dev->needed_tailroom,
but only LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) bytes is "reserved" for headers.
As a result, the skb looks like this (after construction of the
message):

head       data                   tail                       end
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+           |                      |          |                |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|<-hlen---->|<---ipv6 packet------>|<--tlen-->|<--MAX_HEADER-->|
    =LL_                               = dev
     RESERVED_                           ->needed_
     SPACE(dev)                            tailroom

As the name implies, "MAX_HEADER" is used for headers, and should
be "reserved" in prior to packet construction.  Or, if some space
is really required at the tail of ther skb, it should be
explicitly documented.

We have several option after construction of NDISC message:

Option 1:

head       data                   tail       end
+---------------------------------------------+
+           |                      |          |
+---------------------------------------------+
|<-hlen---->|<---ipv6 packet------>|<--tlen-->|
   =LL_                                = dev
    RESERVED_                           ->needed_
    SPACE(dev)                            tailroom

Option 2:

head            data                   tail       end
+--------------------------------------------------+
+                |                      |          |
+--------------------------------------------------+
|<--MAX_HEADER-->|<---ipv6 packet------>|<--tlen-->|
                                            = dev
                                             ->needed_
                                               tailroom

Option 3:

head                        data                   tail       end
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+                |           |                      |          |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|<--MAX_HEADER-->|<-hlen---->|<---ipv6 packet------>|<--tlen-->|
                    =LL_                                = dev
                     RESERVED_                          ->needed_
                     SPACE(dev)                           tailroom

Our tunnel drivers try expanding headroom and the space for tunnel
encapsulation was not a mandatory space -- so we are not seeing
bugs here --, but just for optimization for performance critial
situations.

Since NDISC messages are not performance critical unlike TCP,
and as we know outgoing device, LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) should be
just enough for the device in most (if not all) cases:
  LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) <= LL_MAX_HEADER <= MAX_HEADER
Note that LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev) is also enough for NDISC over
SIT (e.g., ISATAP).

So, I think Option 1 is just fine here.

9ff162a8b9 net: introduce upper device lists
This lists are supposed to serve for storing pointers to all upper devices.
Eventually it will replace dev->master pointer which is used for
bonding, bridge, team but it cannot be used for vlan, macvlan where
there might be multiple upper present. In case the upper link is
replacement for dev->master, it is marked with "master" flag.

New upper device list resolves this limitation. Also, the information
stored in lists is used for preventing looping setups like
"bond->somethingelse->samebond"

576eb62598 bridge: respect RFC2863 operational state
The bridge link detection should follow the operational state
of the lower device, rather than the carrier bit. This allows devices
like tunnels that are controlled by userspace control plane to work
with bridge STP link management.

aa1113d9f8 net: filter: return -EINVAL if BPF_S_ANC* operation is not supported
Currently, we return -EINVAL for malformed or wrong BPF filters.
However, this is not done for BPF_S_ANC* operations, which makes it
more difficult to detect if it's actually supported or not by the
BPF machine. Therefore, we should also return -EINVAL if K is within
the SKF_AD_OFF universe and the ancillary operation did not match.

Why exactly is it needed? If tools such as libpcap/tcpdump want to
make use of new ancillary operations (like filtering VLAN in kernel
space), there is currently no sane way to test if this feature /
BPF_S_ANC* op is present or not, since no error is returned. This
patch will make life easier for that and allow for a proper usage
for user space applications.

There was concern, if this patch will break userland. Short answer: Yes
and no. Long answer: It will "break" only for code that calls ...

  { BPF_LD | BPF_(W|H|B) | BPF_ABS, 0, 0, <K> },

... where <K> is in [0xfffff000, 0xffffffff] _and_ <K> is *not* an
ancillary. And here comes the BUT: assuming some *old* code will have
such an instruction where <K> is between [0xfffff000, 0xffffffff] and
it doesn't know ancillary operations, then this will give a
non-expected / unwanted behavior as well (since we do not return the
BPF machine with 0 after a failed load_pointer(), which was the case
before introducing ancillary operations, but load sth. into the
accumulator instead, and continue with the next instruction, for
instance). Thus, user space code would already have been broken by
introducing ancillary operations into the BPF machine per se. Code
that does such a direct load, e.g. "load word at packet offset
0xffffffff into accumulator" ("ld [0xffffffff]") is quite broken,
isn't it? The whole assumption of ancillary operations is that no-one
intentionally calls things like "ld [0xffffffff]" and expect this
word to be loaded from such a packet offset. Hence, we can also safely
make use of this feature testing patch and facilitate application
development. Therefore, at least from this patch onwards, we have
*for sure* a check whether current or in future implemented BPF_S_ANC*
ops are supported in the kernel. Patch was tested on x86_64.

(Thanks to Eric for the previous review.)
