Fix event generation for actions batch Add/Delete mode

When adding or deleting a batch of entries, the kernel sends upto
TCA_ACT_MAX_PRIO entries in an event to user space. However it does not
consider that the action sizes may vary and require different skb sizes.

For example :

% cat tc-batch.sh
TC="sudo /mnt/iproute2.git/tc/tc"

$TC actions flush action gact
for i in `seq 1 $1`;
do
   cmd="action pass index $i "
   args=$args$cmd
done
$TC actions add $args
%
% ./tc-batch.sh 32
Error: Failed to fill netlink attributes while adding TC action.
We have an error talking to the kernel
%

This patchset introduces new callback in tc_action_ops, which calculates
the action size, and passes size to tcf_add_notify()/tcf_del_notify(). The
patch fixes act_gact, and the rest of actions will be updated in the
follow-up patches.

v3:
   Fixed tcf_action_fill_size() to return shared attrs length when
   action ->get_fill_size() isn't implemented.
v2:
   Restructured patches to make them bisectable.

fallback tunnels (like tunl0, gre0, gretap0, erspan0, sit0,
ip6tnl0, ip6gre0) are automatically created when the corresponding
module is loaded.

These tunnels are also automatically created when a new network
namespace is created, at a great cost.

In many cases, netns are used for isolation purposes, and these
extra network devices are a waste of resources. We are using
thousands of netns per host, and hit the netns creation/delete
bottleneck a lot. (Many thanks to Kirill for recent work on this)

Add a new sysctl so that we can opt-out from this automatic creation.

Note that these tunnels are still created for the initial namespace,
to be the least intrusive for typical setups.

ntuple filters with RSS

This series introduces the ability to mark an ethtool steering filter to use
 RSS spreading, and the ability to create and configure multiple RSS contexts
 with different indirection tables, hash keys, and hash fields.
An implementation for the sfc driver (for 7000-series and later SFC NICs) is
 included in patch 2/2.

The anticipated use case of this feature is for steering traffic destined for
 a container (or virtual machine) to the subset of CPUs on which processes in
 the container (or the VM's vCPUs) are bound, while retaining the scalability
 of RSS spreading from the viewpoint inside the container.
The use of both a base queue number (ring_cookie) and indirection table is
 intended to allow re-use of a single RSS context to target multiple sets of
 CPUs.  For instance, if an 8-core system is hosting three containers on CPUs
 [1,2], [3,4] and [6,7], then a single RSS context with an equal-weight [0,1]
 indirection table could be used to target all three containers by setting
 ring_cookie to 1, 3 and 6 on the respective filters.

v2: Initialised ctx in efx_ef10_filter_insert() to avoid (false positive) gcc
 warning.

We use a two-step process to configure a filter with RSS spreading.  First,
 the RSS context is allocated and configured using ETHTOOL_SRSSH; this
 returns an identifier (rss_context) which can then be passed to subsequent
 invocations of ETHTOOL_SRXCLSRLINS to specify that the offset from the RSS
 indirection table lookup should be added to the queue number (ring_cookie)
 when delivering the packet.  Drivers for devices which can only use the
 indirection table entry directly (not add it to a base queue number)
 should reject rule insertions combining RSS with a nonzero ring_cookie.

====================
mlx5-updates-2018-02-28-2 (IPSec-2)

This series follows our previous one to lay out the foundations for IPSec
in user-space and extend current kernel netdev IPSec support. As noted in
our previous pull request cover letter "mlx5-updates-2018-02-28-1 (IPSec-1)",
the IPSec mechanism will be supported through our flow steering mechanism.
Therefore, we need to change the initialization order. Furthermore, IPsec
is also supported in both egress and ingress. Since our current flow
steering is egress only, we add an empty (only implemented through FPGA
steering ops) egress namespace to handle that case. We also implement
the required flow steering callbacks and logic in our FPGA driver.

We extend the FPGA support for ESN and modifying a xfrm too. Therefore, we
add support for some new FPGA command interface that supports them. The
other required bits are added too. The new features and requirements are
advertised via cap bits.

Last but not least, we revise our driver's accel_esp API. This API will be
shared between our netdev and IB driver, so we need to have all the required
functionality from both worlds.

Aviad and Matan

ibmvnic: Clean up net close and fix reset bug

This patch set cleans up and reorganizes the driver's net_device
close function and leverages that to fix up a bug that can occur
during some device resets. Some reset cases require the backing
adapter to be disabled before continuing, but other cases, such as
during a device failover or partition migration, do not require this
step. Since the device will not be initialized at this stage and
its command-processing queue is closed, do not send the request to
disable the device as it could result in an error or timeout
disrupting the reset.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

During a device failover or partition migration reset, it is not
necessary to disable the backing adapter since it should not be
running yet and its Command-Response Queue is closed. Sending
device commands during this time could result in an error or
timeout disrupting the reset process. In these cases, just halt
transmissions, clean up resources, and continue with reset.

When sending a packet to a tunnel device, the dev's hard_header_len
could be larger than the skb->len in function packet_length().
In the case of ip6gretap/erspan, hard_header_len = LL_MAX_HEADER + t_hlen,
which is around 180, and an ARP packet sent to this tunnel has
skb->len = 42.  This causes the 'unsign int length' to become super
large because it is negative value, causing the later ovs_vport_send
to drop it due to over-mtu size.  The patch fixes it by setting it to 0.
