Supporting access to skb->pkt_type is a bit tricky if we want
to have a generic code, allowing pkt_type to be moved in struct sk_buff
pkt_type is a bit field, so compiler cannot really help us to find
its offset. Let's use a helper for this : It will throw a one time
message if pkt_type no longer starts at a byte boundary or is
no longer a 3bit field.

Makes more sense to have randomly generated address by default than to
have all zeroes. It also allows user to for example put the bond into
bridge without need to have any slaves in it.
Also note that this changes only behaviour of bonds with no slaves. Once
the first slave device is enslaved, its address will be used (no change
here).
Also, fix dev_assign_type values on the way.

This patch adds anti-spoofing checks in sit.c as specified in RFC3964
section 5.2 for 6to4 and RFC5969 section 12 for 6rd. I left out the
checks which could easily be implemented with netfilter.
Specifically this patch adds following logic (based loosely on the
pseudocode in RFC3964 section 5.2):
if prefix (inner_src_v6) == rd6_prefix (2002::/16 is the default)
and outer_src_v4 != embedded_ipv4 (inner_src_v6)
drop
if prefix (inner_dst_v6) == rd6_prefix (or 2002::/16 is the default)
and outer_dst_v4 != embedded_ipv4 (inner_dst_v6)
drop
accept
To accomplish the specified security checks proposed by above RFCs,
it is still necessary to employ uRPF filters with netfilter. These new
checks only kick in if the employed addresses are within the 2002::/16 or
another range specified by the 6rd-prefix (which defaults to 2002::/16).

A GRE tunnel can be configured so that outgoing tunnel packets inherit
the value of the TOS field from the inner IP header. In doing so, when
a non-IP packet is transmitted through the tunnel, the TOS field will
always be set to 0.
Instead, the user should be able to configure a different TOS value as
the fallback to use for non-IP packets. This is helpful when the non-IP
packets are all control packets and should be handled by routers outside
the tunnel as having Internet Control precedence. One example of this is
the NHRP packets that control a DMVPN-compatible mGRE tunnel; they are
encapsulated directly by GRE and do not contain an inner IP header.
Under the existing behavior, the IFLA_GRE_TOS parameter must be set to
'1' for the TOS value to be inherited. Now, only the least significant
bit of this parameter must be set to '1', and when a non-IP packet is
sent through the tunnel, the upper 6 bits of this same parameter will be
copied into the TOS field. (The ECN bits get masked off as before.)
This behavior is backwards-compatible with existing configurations and
iproute2 versions.

There are some usecase when lifetime of ipv4 addresses might be helpful.
For example:
1) initramfs networkmanager uses a DHCP daemon to learn network
configuration parameters
2) initramfs networkmanager addresses, routes and DNS configuration
3) initramfs networkmanager is requested to stop
4) initramfs networkmanager stops all daemons including dhclient
5) there are addresses and routes configured but no daemon running. If
the system doesn't start networkmanager for some reason, addresses and
routes will be used forever, which violates RFC 2131.
This patch is essentially a backport of ivp6 address lifetime mechanism
for ipv4 addresses.
Current "ip" tool supports this without any patch (since it does not
distinguish between ipv4 and ipv6 addresses in this perspective.
Also, this should be back-compatible with all current netlink users.

====================
This patchset is V2, with some trivial code fixes, which were noticed
by DaveM. It is still a partly respin of my fragmentation optimization
patches: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/250914
This is not the complete patchset, from the gmane link above. In this
patchset, I primarily focus on adjusting cacheline for better SMP/NUMA
performance.
Once this patchset have been agreed upon, I will continue and respin
the rest of my patches.
This time around, I have created a frag DoS generator, via the tool
trafgen (http://netsniff-ng.org/). To create a stable DoS scenario
(no longer relying on frame dropping due to disabled flow-control).
Two 10G interfaces are under-test, and uses Ethernet flow-control. A
third interface is used for generating the DoS attack (this interface
is also 10G, but it does not need to be, as 500Kpps DoS is enough).
Test types summary (netperf):
Test-20G64K == 2x10G with 65K fragments
Test-20G3F == 2x10G with 3x fragments (3*1472 bytes)
Test-20G64K+DoS == Same as 20G64K with frag DoS
Test-20G3F+DoS == Same as 20G3F with frag DoS
Patch list:
Patch-01 - net: cacheline adjust struct netns_frags for better frag performance
Patch-02 - net: cacheline adjust struct inet_frags for better frag performance
Patch-03 - net: cacheline adjust struct inet_frag_queue

Below is a testlab setup description, with links to the trafgen DoS
packet config used.
Testlab
=======
Server setup
------------
The machine acting as a server:
- 2x CPU (E5-2630)
- Thus a NUMA arch/machine
- 4x 10Gbit/s ports
- NICs 2x Intel Dual port 82599 based (driver ixgbe)
Setup:
- Interfaces uses Ethernet flow control
- Flush all iptables
- Remove all iptables related module.
- Kill irqbalance
- Pin each 10G NIC port to a *single* CPU each
Pinning can easily be done by command hacks::
for x in /proc/irq/*/eth8*/../smp_affinity_list ; do echo 1 > $x; done
for x in /proc/irq/*/eth9*/../smp_affinity_list ; do echo 3 > $x; done
for x in /proc/irq/*/eth31*/../smp_affinity_list; do echo 6 > $x; done
for x in /proc/irq/*/eth32*/../smp_affinity_list; do echo 8 > $x; done
Notice NUMA setting: The CPU to NIC tying is carefully choosen
according to the NUMA node setup. Thus, NICs connected to a PCI-e
slot that is connected to a physical CPU socket are tied together.
Choosing only a single CPU per NIC (port) is just to ease provoking
and debugging this performance issue. (In real setups, you can choose
more CPU, just remember the NUMA node in the equation).
Tools
-----
Netperf is used, with option -T to ensure CPU binding.
The netserver processes, are NAPI pinned::
numactl -m0 -c0 netserver
numactl -m1 -c 1 netserver -p 1337
I now have a frag DoS generator, created via the tool:
trafgen (see: http://netsniff-ng.org/)
Trafgen packet config file:
http://people.netfilter.org/hawk/frag_work/trafgen/frag_packet03_small_frag.txf
Notice, I'm using features of trafgen, recently developed by Daniel
Borkmann, thus you need the latest git tree to use my trafgen packet
config.
git://github.com/borkmann/netsniff-ng.git
Command line:
trafgen --dev eth51 --conf frag_packet03_small_frag.txf -V -k 100 --cpus 2

Replace the per network namespace shared atomic "mem" accounting
variable, in the fragmentation code, with a lib/percpu_counter.
Getting percpu_counter to scale to the fragmentation code usage
requires some tweaks.
At first view, percpu_counter looks superfast, but it does not
scale on multi-CPU/NUMA machines, because the default batch size
is too small, for frag code usage. Thus, I have adjusted the
batch size by using __percpu_counter_add() directly, instead of
percpu_counter_sub() and percpu_counter_add().
The batch size is increased to 130.000, based on the largest 64K
fragment memory usage. This does introduce some imprecise
memory accounting, but its does not need to be strict for this
use-case.
It is also essential, that the percpu_counter, does not
share cacheline with other writers, to make this scale.

This small cacheline adjustment of struct netns_frags improves
performance significantly for the fragmentation code.
Struct members 'lru_list' and 'mem' are both hot elements, and it
hurts performance, due to cacheline bouncing at every call point,
when they share a cacheline. Also notice, how mem is placed
together with 'high_thresh' and 'low_thresh', as they are used in

"Please pull a few updates for iwlwifi. These are just some cleanups and
a debug improvement."
On top of that, there is a slew of driver updates. This includes
brcmfmac, mwifiex, ath9k, carl9170, and mwl8k as well as a handful
of others. The bcma and ssb busses get some attention as well.
Still, I don't see any big headliners here.
Also included is a pull of the wireless tree, in order to resolve
some merge conflicts.

====================
This series contains updates to e1000e, ixgbevf, igb and igbvf.
Majority of the patches are code cleanups of e1000e where code
is removed (Yeah!). The other two e1000e patches are fixes. The
first is to fix the maximum frame size for 82579 devices. The second
fix is to resolve an issue with devices other than 82579 that suffer
from dropped transactions on platforms with deep C-states when
jumbo frames are enabled.
The ixgbevf patch is to ensure that the driver fetches the correct,
refreshed value for link status and speed when the values have changed.
The igb and igbvf patches are a solution to an issue Stefan Assmann
reported, where when the PF is up and igbvf is loaded, the MAC address
is not generated using eth_hw_addr_random().
