      mpls: Basic routing support · 0189197f
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      This change adds a new Kconfig option MPLS_ROUTING.
      
      The core of this change is the code to look at an mpls packet received
      from another machine.  Look that packet up in a routing table and
      forward the packet on.
      
      Support of MPLS over ATM is not considered or attempted here.  This
      implemntation follows RFC3032 and implements the MPLS shim header that
      can pass over essentially any network.
      
      What RFC3021 refers to as the as the Incoming Label Map (ILM) I call
      net->mpls.platform_label[].  What RFC3031 refers to as the Next Label
      Hop Forwarding Entry (NHLFE) I call mpls_route.  Though calling it the
      label fordwarding information base (lfib) might also be valid.
      
      Further the implemntation forwards packets as described in RFC3032.
      There is no need and given the original motivation for MPLS a strong
      discincentive to have a flexible label forwarding path.  In essence
      the logic is the topmost label is read, looked up, removed, and
      replaced by 0 or more new lables and the sent out the specified
      interface to it's next hop.
      
      Quite a few optional features are not implemented here.  Among them
      are generation of ICMP errors when the TTL is exceeded or the packet
      is larger than the next hop MTU (those conditions are detected and the
      packets are dropped instead of generating an icmp error).  The traffic
      class field is always set to 0.  The implementation focuses on IP over
      MPLS and does not handle egress of other kinds of protocols.
      
      Instead of implementing coordination with the neighbour table and
      sorting out how to input next hops in a different address family (for
      which there is value).  I was lazy and implemented a next hop mac
      address instead.  The code is simpler and there are flavor of MPLS
      such as MPLS-TP where neither an IPv4 nor an IPv6 next hop is
      appropriate so a next hop by mac address would need to be implemented
      at some point.
      
      Two new definitions AF_MPLS and PF_MPLS are exposed to userspace.
      
      Decoding the mpls header must be done by first byeswapping a 32bit bit
      endian word into the local cpu endian and then bit shifting to extract
      the pieces.  There is no C bit-field that can represent a wire format
      mpls header on a little endian machine as the low bits of the 20bit
      label wind up in the wrong half of third byte.  Therefore internally
      everything is deal with in cpu native byte order except when writing
      to and reading from a packet.
      
      For management simplicity if a label is configured to forward out
      an interface that is down the packet is dropped early.  Similarly
      if an network interface is removed rt_dev is updated to NULL
      (so no reference is preserved) and any packets for that label
      are dropped.  Keeping the label entries in the kernel allows
      the kernel label table to function as the definitive source
      of which labels are allocated and which are not.

      ====================
      Neighbour table prep for MPLS
      
      In preparation for using the IPv4 and IPv6 neighbour tables in my mpls
      code this patchset factors out ___neigh_lookup_noref from
      __ipv4_neigh_lookup_noref, __ipv6_lookup_noref and neigh_lookup.
      Allowing the lookup logic to be shared between the different
      implementations.  At what appears to be no cost. (Aka the same assembly
      is generated for ip6_finish_output2 and ip_finish_output2).
      
      After that I add a simple function that takes an address family and an
      address consults the neighbour table and sends the packet to the
      appropriate location.  The address family argument decoupls callers
      of neigh_xmit from the addresses families the packets are sent over.
      (Aka The ipv6 module can be loaded after mpls and a previously
      configured ipv6 next hop will start working).
      
      The refactoring in ___neigh_lookup_noref may be a bit overkill but it
      feels like the right thing to do.  Especially since the same code is
      generated.

      neigh: Add helper function neigh_xmit · 4fd3d7d9
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      For MPLS I am building the code so that either the neighbour mac
      address can be specified or we can have a next hop in ipv4 or ipv6.
      
      The kind of next hop we have is indicated by the neighbour table
      pointer.  A neighbour table pointer of NULL is a link layer address.
      A non-NULL neighbour table pointer indicates which neighbour table and
      thus which address family the next hop address is in that we need to
      look up.
      
      The code either sends a packet directly or looks up the appropriate
      neighbour table entry and sends the packet.

      neigh: Factor out ___neigh_lookup_noref · 60395a20
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      While looking at the mpls code I found myself writing yet another
      version of neigh_lookup_noref.  We currently have __ipv4_lookup_noref
      and __ipv6_lookup_noref.
      
      So to make my work a little easier and to make it a smidge easier to
      verify/maintain the mpls code in the future I stopped and wrote
      ___neigh_lookup_noref.  Then I rewote __ipv4_lookup_noref and
      __ipv6_lookup_noref in terms of this new function.  I tested my new
      version by verifying that the same code is generated in
      ip_finish_output2 and ip6_finish_output2 where these functions are
      inlined.
      
      To get to ___neigh_lookup_noref I added a new neighbour cache table
      function key_eq.  So that the static size of the key would be
      available.
      
      I also added __neigh_lookup_noref for people who want to to lookup
      a neighbour table entry quickly but don't know which neibhgour table
      they are going to look up.

      bridge: fix bridge netlink RCU usage · 2f56f6be
      Johannes Berg authored
      When the STP timer fires, it can call br_ifinfo_notify(),
      which in turn ends up in the new br_get_link_af_size().
      This function is annotated to be using RTNL locking, which
      clearly isn't the case here, and thus lockdep warns:

      Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-03-03
      
      This series contains updates to fm10k, i40e and i40evf.
      
      Matthew updates the fm10k driver by cleaning up code comments and whitespace
      issues.  Also modifies the tunnel length header check, to make it more robust
      by calculating the inner L4 header length based on whether it is TCP or UDP.
      Implemented ndo_features_check() that allows drivers to report their offload
      capabilities per-skb.
      
      Neerav updates the i40e driver to skip over priority tagging if DCB is not
      enabled.  Fixes an issue where the driver is not flushing out the
      DCBNL app table for applications that are not present in the local DCBX
      application configuration TLVs.  Fixed i40e where, in the case of MFP
      mode, the driver was returning the incorrect number of traffic classes
      for partitions that are not enabled for iSCSI.  Even though the driver
      was not configuring these traffic classes in the transmit scheduler for
      the NIC partitions, it does use this map to setup the queue mappings.
      
      Shannon updates i40e/i40evf to include the firmware build number in the
      formatted firmware version string.
      
      Akeem adds a safety net (by adding a 'default' case) for the possible
      unmatched switch calls.
      
      Mitch updates i40e to not automatically disable PF loopback at runtime,
      now that we have the functionality to enable and disable PF loopback.  This
      fix cleans up a bogus error message when removing the PF module with VFs
      enabled.  Adds a extra check to make sure that the indirection table
      pointer is valid before dereferencing it.
      
      Anjali enables i40e to enable more than the max RSS qps when running in a
      single TC mode for the main VSI.  It is possible to enable as many as
      num_online_cpus().  Adds a firmware check to ensure that DCB is disabled for
      firmware versions older than 4.33.  Updates i40e/i40evf to add missing
      packet types for VXLAN offload.  Updated i40e to be able to handle varying
      RSS table size for each VSI, since all VSI's do not have the same RSS table
      size.
      
      v2: Dropped previous patch #9 "i40e/i40evf: Add capability to gather VEB
          per TC stats" since the stats should be in ethtool and not debugfs.
