Eric Dumazet 1a203cb33a ipv6: optimize ipv6 addresses compares
On 64 bit arches having efficient unaligned accesses (eg x86_64) we can
use long words to reduce number of instructions for free.

Joe Perches suggested to change ipv6_masked_addr_cmp() to return a bool
instead of 'int', to make sure ipv6_masked_addr_cmp() cannot be used
in a sorting function.

David S. Miller 51c5d0c4b1 tcp: Maintain dynamic metrics in local cache.
Maintain a local hash table of TCP dynamic metrics blobs.

Computed TCP metrics are no longer maintained in the route metrics.

The table uses RCU and an extremely simple hash so that it has low
latency and low overhead.  A simple hash is legitimate because we only
make metrics blobs for fully established connections.

Some tweaking of the default hash table sizes, metric timeouts, and
the hash chain length limit certainly could use some tweaking.  But
the basic design seems sound.

Hadar Hen Zion 592e49dda8 net/mlx4: Implement promiscuous mode with device managed flow-steering
The device managed flow steering API has three promiscuous modes:

1. Uplink - captures all the packets that arrive to the port.
2. Allmulti - captures all multicast packets arriving to the port.
3. Function port - for future use, this mode is not implemented yet.

Use these modes with the flow_attach and flow_detach firmware commands
according to the promiscuous state of the netdevice.

Hadar Hen Zion 0ff1fb654b {NET, IB}/mlx4: Add device managed flow steering firmware API
The driver is modified to support three operation modes.

If supported by firmware use the device managed flow steering
API, that which we call device managed steering mode. Else, if
the firmware supports the B0 steering mode use it, and finally,
if none of the above, use the A0 steering mode.

When the steering mode is device managed, the code is modified
such that L2 based rules set by the mlx4_en driver for Ethernet
unicast and multicast, and the IB stack multicast attach calls
done through the mlx4_ib driver are all routed to use the device
managed API.

When attaching rule using device managed flow steering API,
the firmware returns a 64 bit registration id, which is to be
provided during detach.

Currently the firmware is always programmed during HCA initialization
to use standard L2 hashing. Future work should be done to allow
configuring the flow-steering hash function with common, non
proprietary means.

Hadar Hen Zion c96d97f4d1 net/mlx4: Set steering mode according to device capabilities
Instead of checking the firmware supported steering mode in various
places in the code, add a dedicated field in the mlx4 device capabilities
structure which is written once during the initialization flow and read
across the code.

This also set the grounds for add new steering modes. Currently two modes
are supported, and are named after the ConnectX HW versions A0 and B0.

A0 steering uses mac_index, vlan_index and priority to steer traffic
into pre-defined range of QPs.

B0 steering uses Ethernet L2 hashing rules and is enabled only
if the firmware supports both unicast and multicast B0 steering,

The current steering modes are relevant for Ethernet traffic only,
such that Infiniband steering remains untouched.

Giuseppe CAVALLARO a59a4d1921 phy: add the EEE support and the way to access to the MMD registers.
This patch adds the support for the Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
to the Physical Abstraction Layer.
To support the EEE we have to access to the MMD registers 3.20 and
7.60/61. So two new functions have been added to read/write the MMD
registers (clause 45).

An Ethernet driver (I tested the stmmac) can invoke the phy_init_eee to properly
check if the EEE is supported by the PHYs and it can also set the clock
stop enable bit in the 3.0 register.
The phy_get_eee_err can be used for reporting the number of time where
the PHY failed to complete its normal wake sequence.

In the end, this patch also adds the EEE ethtool support implementing:
 o phy_ethtool_set_eee
 o phy_ethtool_get_eee

v1: initial patch
v2: fixed some errors especially on naming convention
v3: renamed again the mmd read/write functions thank to Ben's feedback
v4: moved file to phy.c and added the ethtool support.
v5: fixed phy_adv_to_eee, phy_eee_to_supported, phy_eee_to_adv return
    values according to ethtool API (thanks to Ben's feedback).
    Renamed some macros to avoid too long names.
v6: fixed kernel-doc comments to be properly parsed.
    Fixed the phy_init_eee function: we need to check which link mode
    was autonegotiated and then the corresponding bits in 7.60 and 7.61
    registers.
v7: reviewed the way to get the negotiated settings.
v8: fixed a problem in the phy_init_eee return value erroneously added
    when included the phy_read_status call.
v9: do not remove the MDIO_AN_EEE_ADV_100TX and MDIO_AN_EEE_ADV_1000T
    and fixed the eee_{cap,lp,adv} declaration as "int" instead of u16.

Neil Horman 4244854d22 sctp: be more restrictive in transport selection on bundled sacks
It was noticed recently that when we send data on a transport, its possible that
we might bundle a sack that arrived on a different transport.  While this isn't
a major problem, it does go against the SHOULD requirement in section 6.4 of RFC
2960:

 An endpoint SHOULD transmit reply chunks (e.g., SACK, HEARTBEAT ACK,
   etc.) to the same destination transport address from which it
   received the DATA or control chunk to which it is replying.  This
   rule should also be followed if the endpoint is bundling DATA chunks
   together with the reply chunk.

This patch seeks to correct that.  It restricts the bundling of sack operations
to only those transports which have moved the ctsn of the association forward
since the last sack.  By doing this we guarantee that we only bundle outbound
saks on a transport that has received a chunk since the last sack.  This brings
us into stricter compliance with the RFC.

Vlad had initially suggested that we strictly allow only sack bundling on the
transport that last moved the ctsn forward.  While this makes sense, I was
concerned that doing so prevented us from bundling in the case where we had
received chunks that moved the ctsn on multiple transports.  In those cases, the
RFC allows us to select any of the transports having received chunks to bundle
the sack on.  so I've modified the approach to allow for that, by adding a state
variable to each transport that tracks weather it has moved the ctsn since the
last sack.  This I think keeps our behavior (and performance), close enough to
our current profile that I think we can do this without a sysctl knob to
enable/disable it.

Pablo Neira Ayuso 03292745b0 netlink: add nlk->netlink_bind hook for module auto-loading
This patch adds a hook in the binding path of netlink.

This is used by ctnetlink to allow module autoloading for the case
in which one user executes:

 conntrack -E

So far, this resulted in nfnetlink loaded, but not
nf_conntrack_netlink.

I have received in the past many complains on this behaviour.

Pablo Neira Ayuso a31f2d17b3 netlink: add netlink_kernel_cfg parameter to netlink_kernel_create
This patch adds the following structure:

struct netlink_kernel_cfg {
        unsigned int    groups;
        void            (*input)(struct sk_buff *skb);
        struct mutex    *cb_mutex;
};

That can be passed to netlink_kernel_create to set optional configurations
for netlink kernel sockets.

I've populated this structure by looking for NULL and zero parameters at the
existing code. The remaining parameters that always need to be set are still
left in the original interface.

That includes optional parameters for the netlink socket creation. This allows
easy extensibility of this interface in the future.

This patch also adapts all callers to use this new interface.

David S. Miller 7a9bc9b81a ipv4: Elide fib_validate_source() completely when possible.
If rpfilter is off (or the SKB has an IPSEC path) and there are not
tclassid users, we don't have to do anything at all when
fib_validate_source() is invoked besides setting the itag to zero.

We monitor tclassid uses with a counter (modified only under RTNL and
marked __read_mostly) and we protect the fib_validate_source() real
work with a test against this counter and whether rpfilter is to be
done.

Having a way to know whether we need no tclassid processing or not
also opens the door for future optimized rpfilter algorithms that do
not perform full FIB lookups.

Ville Nuorvala d0087b29f7 ipv6_tunnel: Allow receiving packets on the fallback tunnel if they pass sanity checks
At Facebook, we do Layer-3 DSR via IP-in-IP tunneling. Our load balancers wrap
an extra IP header on incoming packets so they can be routed to the backend.
In the v4 tunnel driver, when these packets fall on the default tunl0 device,
the behavior is to decapsulate them and drop them back on the stack. So our
setup is that tunl0 has the VIP and eth0 has (obviously) the backend's real
address.

In IPv6 we do the same thing, but the v6 tunnel driver didn't have this same
behavior - if you didn't have an explicit tunnel setup, it would drop the
packet.

This patch brings that v4 feature to the v6 driver.

The same IPv6 address checks are performed as with any normal tunnel,
but as the fallback tunnel endpoint addresses are unspecified, the checks
must be performed on a per-packet basis, rather than at tunnel
configuration time.

David S. Miller 9e56e3800e ipv4: Adjust in_dev handling in fib_validate_source()
Checking for in_dev being NULL is pointless.

In fact, all of our callers have in_dev precomputed already,
so just pass it in and remove the NULL checking.

Thomas Graf 58050fce35 net: Use NLMSG_DEFAULT_SIZE in combination with nlmsg_new()
Using NLMSG_GOODSIZE results in multiple pages being used as
nlmsg_new() will automatically add the size of the netlink
header to the payload thus exceeding the page limit.

NLMSG_DEFAULT_SIZE takes this into account.

Neal Cardwell 3840a06e60 tcp: pass fl6 to inet6_csk_route_req()
This commit changes inet_csk_route_req() so that it uses a pointer to
a struct flowi6, rather than allocating its own on the stack. This
brings its behavior in line with its IPv4 cousin,
inet_csk_route_req(), and allows a follow-on patch to fix a dst leak.
