      ====================
      tcp: add zero copy receive
      
      This patch series add mmap() support to TCP sockets for RX zero copy.
      
      While tcp_mmap() patch itself is quite small (~100 LOC), optimal support
      for asynchronous mmap() required better SO_RCVLOWAT behavior, and a
      test program to demonstrate how mmap() on TCP sockets can be used.
      
      Note that mmap() (and associated munmap()) calls are adding more
      pressure on per-process VM semaphore, so might not show benefit
      for processus with high number of threads.

      tcp: implement mmap() for zero copy receive · 93ab6cc6
      Eric Dumazet authored
      Some networks can make sure TCP payload can exactly fit 4KB pages,
      with well chosen MSS/MTU and architectures.
      
      Implement mmap() system call so that applications can avoid
      copying data without complex splice() games.
      
      Note that a successful mmap( X bytes) on TCP socket is consuming
      bytes, as if recvmsg() has been done. (tp->copied += X)
      
      Only PROT_READ mappings are accepted, as skb page frags
      are fundamentally shared and read only.
      
      If tcp_mmap() finds data that is not a full page, or a patch of
      urgent data, -EINVAL is returned, no bytes are consumed.
      
      Application must fallback to recvmsg() to read the problematic sequence.
      
      mmap() wont block,  regardless of socket being in blocking or
      non-blocking mode. If not enough bytes are in receive queue,
      mmap() would return -EAGAIN, or -EIO if socket is in a state
      where no other bytes can be added into receive queue.
      
      An application might use SO_RCVLOWAT, poll() and/or ioctl( FIONREAD)
      to efficiently use mmap()
      
      On the sender side, MSG_EOR might help to clearly separate unaligned
      headers and 4K-aligned chunks if necessary.

      tcp: avoid extra wakeups for SO_RCVLOWAT users · 03f45c88
      Eric Dumazet authored
      SO_RCVLOWAT is properly handled in tcp_poll(), so that POLLIN is only
      generated when enough bytes are available in receive queue, after
      David change (commit c7004482 "tcp: Respect SO_RCVLOWAT in tcp_poll().")
      
      But TCP still calls sk->sk_data_ready() for each chunk added in receive
      queue, meaning thread is awaken, and goes back to sleep shortly after.
      
      Tested:
      
      tcp_mmap test program, receiving 32768 MB of data with SO_RCVLOWAT set to 512KB
      
      -> Should get ~2 wakeups (c-switches) per MB, regardless of how many
      (tiny or big) packets were received.
      
      High speed (mostly full size GRO packets)

        cpu usage user:0.03 sys:1.422, 44.3115 usec per MB, 65485 c-switches
      
      Low speed (sender is ratelimited and sends 1-MSS at a time, so GRO is not helping)

      tcp: fix delayed acks behavior for SO_RCVLOWAT · 796f82ea
      Eric Dumazet authored
      We should not delay acks if there are not enough bytes
      in receive queue to satisfy SO_RCVLOWAT.
      
      Since [E]POLLIN event is not going to be generated, there is little
      hope for a delayed ack to be useful.
      
      In fact, delaying ACK prevents sender from completing
      the transfer.

      tcp: fix SO_RCVLOWAT and RCVBUF autotuning · d1361840
      Eric Dumazet authored
      Applications might use SO_RCVLOWAT on TCP socket hoping to receive
      one [E]POLLIN event only when a given amount of bytes are ready in socket
      receive queue.
      
      Problem is that receive autotuning is not aware of this constraint,
      meaning sk_rcvbuf might be too small to allow all bytes to be stored.
      
      Add a new (struct proto_ops)->set_rcvlowat method so that a protocol
      can override the default setsockopt(SO_RCVLOWAT) behavior.

      net: socionext: reset hardware in ndo_stop · 9a00b697
      Masahisa KOJIMA authored
      When the interface is down, head/tail of the descriptor
      ring address is set to 0 in netsec_netdev_stop().
      But netsec hardware still keeps the previous descriptor
      ring address, so there is inconsistency between driver
      and hardware after interface is up at a later time.
      To address this inconsistency, add netsec_reset_hardware()
      when the interface is down.
      
      In addition, to minimize the reset process,
      add flag to decide whether driver loads the netsec microcode.
      Even if driver resets the netsec hardware, netsec microcode
      keeps resident on RAM, so it is ok we only load the microcode
      at initialization.
      
      This patch is critical for installation over network.

        readl/writel functions, thanks to work by Sinan Kaya:
      
        This started from a discussion on the linuxpcc and rdma mailing
        lists[1]. To summarize, we decided that architectures are responsible
        to serialize readl() and writel() accesses on a device MMIO space
        relative to DMA performed by that device.
      
        This series provides a pessimistic implementation of that behavior for
        asm-generic/io.h, which is in turn used by a number of architectures
        (h8300, microblaze, nios2, openrisc, s390, sparc, um, unicore32, and
        xtensa). Some of those presumably need no extra barriers, or something
        weaker than rmb()/wmb(), and they are advised to override the new
        default for better performance.
      
        For inb()/outb(), the same barriers are used, but architectures might
        want to add another barrier to outb() here if that can guarantee
        non-posted behavior (some architectures can, others cannot do that).
      
        The readl_relaxed()/writel_relaxed() family of functions retains the
        existing behavior with no extra barriers"

       "These include one big-ticket item which is the rework of the idle loop
        in order to prevent CPUs from spending too much time in shallow idle
        states. It reduces idle power on some systems by 10% or more and may
        improve performance of workloads in which the idle loop overhead
        matters. This has been in the works for several weeks and it has been
        tested and reviewed quite thoroughly.
      
        Also included are changes that finalize the cpufreq cleanup moving
        frequency table validation from drivers to the core, a few fixes and
        cleanups of cpufreq drivers, a cpuidle documentation update and a PM
        QoS core update to mark the expected switch fall-throughs in it.
      
        Specifics:
      
         - Rework the idle loop in order to prevent CPUs from spending too
           much time in shallow idle states by making it stop the scheduler
           tick before putting the CPU into an idle state only if the idle
           duration predicted by the idle governor is long enough.
      
           That required the code to be reordered to invoke the idle governor
           before stopping the tick, among other things (Rafael Wysocki,
           Frederic Weisbecker, Arnd Bergmann).
      
         - Add the missing description of the residency sysfs attribute to the
           cpuidle documentation (Prashanth Prakash).
      
         - Finalize the cpufreq cleanup moving frequency table validation from
           drivers to the core (Viresh Kumar).
      
         - Fix a clock leak regression in the armada-37xx cpufreq driver
           (Gregory Clement).
      
         - Fix the initialization of the CPU performance data structures for
           shared policies in the CPPC cpufreq driver (Shunyong Yang).
      
         - Clean up the ti-cpufreq, intel_pstate and CPPC cpufreq drivers a
           bit (Viresh Kumar, Rafael Wysocki).
      
         - Mark the expected switch fall-throughs in the PM QoS core (Gustavo

      L2TP tunnel creation is racy. We need to make sure that the tunnel
      returned by l2tp_tunnel_create() isn't going to be freed while the
      caller is using it. This is done in patch #1, by separating tunnel
      creation from tunnel registration.
      
      With the tunnel registration code in place, we can now check for
      duplicate tunnels in a race-free way. This is done in patch #2, which
      incidentally removes the last use of l2tp_tunnel_find().

      We can't use l2tp_tunnel_find() to prevent l2tp_nl_cmd_tunnel_create()

      duplicates must be done at registration time.
      
      Finally, remove l2tp_tunnel_find() entirely as it isn't use anywhere
      anymore.

      l2tp: fix races in tunnel creation · 6b9f3423
      Guillaume Nault authored
      l2tp_tunnel_create() inserts the new tunnel into the namespace's tunnel
      list and sets the socket's ->sk_user_data field, before returning it to
      the caller. Therefore, there are two ways the tunnel can be accessed
      and freed, before the caller even had the opportunity to take a
      reference. In practice, syzbot could crash the module by closing the
      socket right after a new tunnel was returned to pppol2tp_create().
      
      This patch moves tunnel registration out of l2tp_tunnel_create(), so
      that the caller can safely hold a reference before publishing the
      tunnel. This second step is done with the new l2tp_tunnel_register()
      function, which is now responsible for associating the tunnel to its
      socket and for inserting it into the namespace's list.
      
      While moving the code to l2tp_tunnel_register(), a few modifications
      have been done. First, the socket validation tests are done in a helper
      function, for clarity. Also, modifying the socket is now done after
      having inserted the tunnel to the namespace's tunnels list. This will
      allow insertion to fail, without having to revert theses modifications
      in the error path (a followup patch will check for duplicate tunnels
      before insertion). Either the socket is a kernel socket which we
      control, or it is a user-space socket for which we have a reference on
      the file descriptor. In any case, the socket isn't going to be closed
      from under us.

      bnxt_en: Support max-mtu with VF-reps · 9d96465b
      Sriharsha Basavapatna authored
      While a VF is configured with a bigger mtu (> 1500), any packets that
      are punted to the VF-rep (slow-path) get dropped by OVS kernel-datapath
      with the following message: "dropped over-mtu packet". Fix this by
      returning the max-mtu value for a VF-rep derived from its corresponding VF.
      VF-rep's mtu can be changed using 'ip' command as shown in this example:
      
      	$ ip link set bnxt0_pf0vf0 mtu 9000
