The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {

struct boo array[];

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by

mptcp: Improve DATA_FIN transmission
MPTCP's DATA_FIN flag is sent in a DSS option when closing the
MPTCP-level connection. This patch series prepares for correct DATA_FIN
handling across multiple subflows (where individual subflows may
disconnect without closing the entire MPTCP connection) by changing the
way the MPTCP-level socket requests a DATA_FIN on a subflow and
propagates the necessary data for the TCP option.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
When a DATA_FIN is sent in a MPTCP DSS option that contains a data
mapping, the DATA_FIN consumes one byte of space in the mapping. In this
case, the DATA_FIN should only be included in the DSS option if its
sequence number aligns with the end of the mapped data. Otherwise the
subflow can send an incorrect implicit sequence number for the DATA_FIN,
and the DATA_ACK for that sequence number would not close the
MPTCP-level connection correctly.

Instead of reading the MPTCP-level sequence number when sending DATA_FIN,
store the data in the subflow so it can be safely accessed when the
subflow TCP headers are written to the packet without the MPTCP-level
lock held. This also allows the MPTCP-level socket to close individual
subflows without closing the MPTCP connection.

MPTCP should wait for an active connection or skip sending depending on
the connection state, as TCP does. This happens before the possible
passthrough to a regular TCP sendmsg because the subflow's socket type
(MPTCP or TCP fallback) is not known until the connection is
complete. This is also relevent at disconnect time, where data should
not be sent in certain MPTCP-level connection states.

act_ct: Software offload of conntrack_in
This series adds software offload of connections with an established
ct state using the NF flow table offload infrastructure, so
once such flows are offloaded, they will not pass through conntrack
again, and instead act_ct will restore the conntrack info metadata
on the skb to the state it had on the offload event - established.
Act_ct maintains an FT instance per ct zone. Flow table entries
are created, per ct connection, when connections enter an established
state and deleted otherwise. Once an entry is created, the FT assumes
ownership of the entry, and manages it's aging.
On the datapath, first lookup the skb in the zone's FT before going
into conntrack, and if a matching flow is found, restore the conntrack
info metadata on the skb, and skip calling conntrack.
Note that this patchset is part of the connection tracking offload feature.
Hardware offload of connections with an established ct state series will follow
this one.

Adding ethtool stats for when XDP transmitted packets overrun the TX
queue. This is recorded separately for XDP_TX and ndo_xdp_xmit. This
is an important aid for troubleshooting XDP based setups.
It is currently a known weakness and property of XDP that there isn't
any push-back or congestion feedback when transmitting frames via XDP.
It's easy to realise when redirecting from a higher speed link into a
slower speed link, or simply two ingress links into a single egress.
The situation can also happen when Ethernet flow control is active.
For testing the patch and provoking the situation to occur on my
Espressobin board, I configured the TX-queue to be smaller (434) than
RX-queue (512) and overload network with large MTU size frames (as a
larger frame takes longer to transmit).
Hopefully the upcoming XDP TX hook can be extended to provide insight
into these TX queue overflows, to allow programmable adaptation
strategies.

struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

====================
net: thunderx: Miscellaneous changes
This patchset has changes wrt driver performance optimization,
load time optimization. And a change to PCI device regiatration
table for timestamp device.

Across Cavium's ThunderX and Marvell's OcteonTx2 silicons
the PTP timestamping block's PCI device ID and vendor ID
have remained same but the HW architecture has changed.
Hence added PCI subsystem IDs to the device table to avoid
this driver from being probed on OcteonTx2 silicons.
