4165079ba3 net: switch secpath to use skb extension infrastructure
Remove skb->sp and allocate secpath storage via extension
infrastructure.  This also reduces sk_buff by 8 bytes on x86_64.

Total size of allyesconfig kernel is reduced slightly, as there is
less inlined code (one conditional atomic op instead of two on
skb_clone).

- transport mode with aes on 10GB link
- tunnel mode between two network namespaces with aes and null cipher

58956317c8 neighbor: Improve garbage collection
The existing garbage collection algorithm has a number of problems:

1. The gc algorithm will not evict PERMANENT entries as those entries
   are managed by userspace, yet the existing algorithm walks the entire
   hash table which means it always considers PERMANENT entries when
   looking for entries to evict. In some use cases (e.g., EVPN) there
   can be tens of thousands of PERMANENT entries leading to wasted
   CPU cycles when gc kicks in. As an example, with 32k permanent
   entries, neigh_alloc has been observed taking more than 4 msec per
   invocation.

2. Currently, when the number of neighbor entries hits gc_thresh2 and
   the last flush for the table was more than 5 seconds ago gc kicks in
   walks the entire hash table evicting *all* entries not in PERMANENT
   or REACHABLE state and not marked as externally learned. There is no
   discriminator on when the neigh entry was created or if it just moved
   from REACHABLE to another NUD_VALID state (e.g., NUD_STALE).

   It is possible for entries to be created or for established neighbor
   entries to be moved to STALE (e.g., an external node sends an ARP
   request) right before the 5 second window lapses:

        -----|---------x|----------|-----
            t-5         t         t+5

   If that happens those entries are evicted during gc causing unnecessary
   thrashing on neighbor entries and userspace caches trying to track them.

   Further, this contradicts the description of gc_thresh2 which says
   "Entries older than 5 seconds will be cleared".

   One workaround is to make gc_thresh2 == gc_thresh3 but that negates the
   whole point of having separate thresholds.

3. Clearing *all* neigh non-PERMANENT/REACHABLE/externally learned entries
   when gc_thresh2 is exceeded is over kill and contributes to trashing
   especially during startup.

This patch addresses these problems as follows:

1. Use of a separate list_head to track entries that can be garbage
   collected along with a separate counter. PERMANENT entries are not
   added to this list.

   The gc_thresh parameters are only compared to the new counter, not the
   total entries in the table. The forced_gc function is updated to only
   walk this new gc_list looking for entries to evict.

2. Entries are added to the list head at the tail and removed from the
   front.

3. Entries are only evicted if they were last updated more than 5 seconds
   ago, adhering to the original intent of gc_thresh2.

4. Forced gc is stopped once the number of gc_entries drops below
   gc_thresh2.

5. Since gc checks do not apply to PERMANENT entries, gc levels are skipped
   when allocating a new neighbor for a PERMANENT entry. By extension this
   means there are no explicit limits on the number of PERMANENT entries
   that can be created, but this is no different than FIB entries or FDB
   entries.

846e980a87 devlink: Add 'fw_load_policy' generic parameter
Many drivers load the device's firmware image during the initialization
flow either from the flash or from the disk. Currently this option is not
controlled by the user and the driver decides from where to load the
firmware image.

'fw_load_policy' gives the ability to control this option which allows the
user to choose between different loading policies supported by the driver.

This parameter can be useful while testing and/or debugging the device. For
example, testing a firmware bug fix.

  | Afaik, even in Britain, "whilst" is unusual and considered more

  |
  | [...]
  |
  | Can we just admit that we work with computers, and we don't need to
  | use þe eald Englisc spelling of words that most of the world never
  | uses?

dictionary.com refers to the word as "Chiefly British", which is
probably an undesirable attribute for technical documentation.

Replace all occurrences under Documentation/ with "while".

7150ceaacb rxrpc: Fix life check
The life-checking function, which is used by kAFS to make sure that a call
is still live in the event of a pending signal, only samples the received
packet serial number counter; it doesn't actually provoke a change in the
counter, rather relying on the server to happen to give us a packet in the
time window.

Fix this by adding a function to force a ping to be transmitted.

kAFS then keeps track of whether there's been a stall, and if so, uses the
new function to ping the server, resetting the timeout to allow the reply
to come back.

If there's a stall, a ping and the call is *still* stalled in the same
place after another period, then the call will be aborted.

c73e5807e4 tcp: tsq: no longer use limit_output_bytes for paced flows
FQ pacing guarantees that paced packets queued by one flow do not
add head-of-line blocking for other flows.

After TCP GSO conversion, increasing limit_output_bytes to 1 MB is safe,
since this maps to 16 skbs at most in qdisc or device queues.
(or slightly more if some drivers lower {gso_max_segs|size})

We still can queue at most 1 ms worth of traffic (this can be scaled
by wifi drivers if they need to)

Tested:

# ethtool -c eth0 | egrep "tx-usecs:|tx-frames:" # 40 Gbit mlx4 NIC
tx-usecs: 16
tx-frames: 16
# tc qdisc replace dev eth0 root fq

6897445fb1 net: provide a sysctl raw_l3mdev_accept for raw socket lookup with VRFs
Add a sysctl raw_l3mdev_accept to control raw socket lookup in a manner
similar to use of tcp_l3mdev_accept for stream and of udp_l3mdev_accept
for datagram sockets. Have this default to enabled for reasons of
backwards compatibility. This is so as to specify the output device
with cmsg and IP_PKTINFO, but using a socket not bound to the
corresponding VRF. This allows e.g. older ping implementations to be
run with specifying the device but without executing it in the VRF.
If the option is disabled, packets received in a VRF context are only
handled by a raw socket bound to the VRF, and correspondingly packets
in the default VRF are only handled by a socket not bound to any VRF.

3c82a21f43 net: allow binding socket in a VRF when there's an unbound socket
Change the inet socket lookup to avoid packets arriving on a device
enslaved to an l3mdev from matching unbound sockets by removing the
wildcard for non sk_bound_dev_if and instead relying on check against
the secondary device index, which will be 0 when the input device is
not enslaved to an l3mdev and so match against an unbound socket and
not match when the input device is enslaved.

Change the socket binding to take the l3mdev into account to allow an
unbound socket to not conflict sockets bound to an l3mdev given the
datapath isolation now guaranteed.

61414f5ec9 FDDI: defza: Add support for DEC FDDIcontroller 700 TURBOchannel adapter
Add support for the DEC FDDIcontroller 700 (DEFZA), Digital Equipment
Corporation's first-generation FDDI network interface adapter, made for
TURBOchannel and based on a discrete version of what eventually became
Motorola's widely used CAMEL chipset.

The CAMEL chipset is present for example in the DEC FDDIcontroller
TURBOchannel, EISA and PCI adapters (DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA) that we support
with the `defxx' driver, however the host bus interface logic and the
firmware API are different in the DEFZA and hence a separate driver is
required.

There isn't much to say about the driver except that it works, but there
is one peculiarity to mention.  The adapter implements two Tx/Rx queue
pairs.

Of these one pair is the usual network Tx/Rx queue pair, in this case
used by the adapter to exchange frames with the ring, via the RMC (Ring
Memory Controller) chip.  The Tx queue is handled directly by the RMC
chip and resides in onboard packet memory.  The Rx queue is maintained
via DMA in host memory by adapter's firmware copying received data
stored by the RMC in onboard packet memory.

The other pair is used to communicate SMT frames with adapter's
firmware.  Any SMT frame received from the RMC via the Rx queue must be
queued back by the driver to the SMT Rx queue for the firmware to
process.  Similarly the firmware uses the SMT Tx queue to supply the
driver with SMT frames that must be queued back to the Tx queue for the
RMC to send to the ring.

This solution was chosen because the designers ran out of PCB space and
could not squeeze in more logic onto the board that would be required to
handle this SMT frame traffic without the need to involve the driver, as
with the later DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapters.

Finally the driver does some Frame Control byte decoding, so to avoid
magic numbers some macros are added to <linux/if_fddi.h>.

7c6bb7d2fa net/ipv6: Add knob to skip DELROUTE message on device down
Another difference between IPv4 and IPv6 is the generation of RTM_DELROUTE
notifications when a device is taken down (admin down) or deleted. IPv4
does not generate a message for routes evicted by the down or delete;
IPv6 does. A NOS at scale really needs to avoid these messages and have
IPv4 and IPv6 behave similarly, relying on userspace to handle link
notifications and evict the routes.

At this point existing user behavior needs to be preserved. Since
notifications are a global action (not per app) the only way to preserve
existing behavior and allow the messages to be skipped is to add a new
sysctl (net/ipv6/route/skip_notify_on_dev_down) which can be set to
disable the notificatioons.

IPv6 route code already supports the option to skip the message (it is
used for multipath routes for example). Besides the new sysctl we need
to pass the skip_notify setting through the generic fib6_clean and
fib6_walk functions to fib6_clean_node and to set skip_notify on calls
to __ip_del_rt for the addrconf_ifdown path.

Alexei Starovoitov says:

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2018-10-08

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

The main changes are:

1) sk_lookup_[tcp|udp] and sk_release helpers from Joe Stringer which allow
BPF programs to perform lookups for sockets in a network namespace. This would
allow programs to determine early on in processing whether the stack is
expecting to receive the packet, and perform some action (eg drop,
forward somewhere) based on this information.

2) per-cpu cgroup local storage from Roman Gushchin.
Per-cpu cgroup local storage is very similar to simple cgroup storage
except all the data is per-cpu. The main goal of per-cpu variant is to
implement super fast counters (e.g. packet counters), which don't require
neither lookups, neither atomic operations in a fast path.
The example of these hybrid counters is in selftests/bpf/netcnt_prog.c

3) allow HW offload of programs with BPF-to-BPF function calls from Quentin Monnet

4) support more than 64-byte key/value in HW offloaded BPF maps from Jakub Kicinski

5) rename of libbpf interfaces from Andrey Ignatov.
libbpf is maturing as a library and should follow good practices in
library design and implementation to play well with other libraries.
This patch set brings consistent naming convention to global symbols.

6) relicense libbpf as LGPL-2.1 OR BSD-2-Clause from Alexei Starovoitov
to let Apache2 projects use libbpf

7) various AF_XDP fixes from Björn and Magnus

e908bcf4f1 rxrpc: Allow the reply time to be obtained on a client call
Allow the epoch value to be queried on a server connection.  This is in the
rxrpc header of every packet for use in routing and is derived from the
client's state.  It's also not supposed to change unless the client gets
restarted.

AFS can make use of this information to deduce whether a fileserver has
been restarted because the fileserver makes client calls to the filesystem
driver's cache manager to send notifications (ie. callback breaks) about
conflicting changes from other clients.  These convey the fileserver's own
epoch value back to the filesystem.

Rename the Intel Ethernet Adaptive Virtual Function driver
(i40evf) to a new name (iavf) that is more consistent with
the ongoing maintenance of the driver as the universal VF driver
for multiple product lines.

This first patch fixes up the directory names and the .ko name,
intentionally ignoring the function names inside the driver
for now.  Basically this is the simplest patch that gets
the rename done and will be followed by other patches that
rename the internal functions.

This patch also addresses a couple of string/name issues
and updates the Copyright year.

Also, made sure to add a MODULE_ALIAS to the old name.

a7ddcea58a Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/
This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned)
and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct
way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox.

The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present
in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their
usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal
the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as
a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise
anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers)

A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really
needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps
it is time to just throw them out.

A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first
counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last
is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.

List of outdated 00-INDEX:
Documentation: (4/10)
Documentation/sysctl: (0/1)
Documentation/timers: (1/0)
Documentation/blockdev: (3/1)
Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1)
Documentation/locking: (0/1)
Documentation/devicetree: (0/5)
Documentation/power: (1/1)
Documentation/powerpc: (0/5)
Documentation/arm: (1/0)
Documentation/x86: (0/9)
Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1)
Documentation/scsi: (4/4)
Documentation/filesystems: (2/9)
Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2)
Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2)
Documentation/kbuild: (0/4)
Documentation/spi: (1/0)
Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0)
Documentation/scheduler: (0/2)
Documentation/fb: (0/1)
Documentation/block: (0/1)
Documentation/networking: (6/37)
Documentation/vm: (1/3)

Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that
are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no
00-INDEX).

I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX,
but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If
we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not
if we just want to delete them anyway.

As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and
see where the discussion is going.

4a132095dd xfrm: allow driver to quietly refuse offload
If the "offload" attribute is used to create an IPsec SA
and the .xdo_dev_state_add() fails, the SA creation fails.
However, if the "offload" attribute is used on a device that
doesn't offer it, the attribute is quietly ignored and the SA
is created without an offload.

Along the same line of that second case, it would be good to
have a way for the device to refuse to offload an SA without
failing the whole SA creation.  This patch adds that feature
by allowing the driver to return -EOPNOTSUPP as a signal that
the SA may be fine, it just can't be offloaded.

This allows the user a little more flexibility in requesting
offloads and not needing to know every detail at all times about
each specific NIC when trying to create SAs.

Netfilter/IPVS fixes for net

The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS fixes for your net tree:

1) Infinite loop in IPVS when net namespace is released, from
   Tan Hu.

2) Do not show negative timeouts in ip_vs_conn by using the new
   jiffies_delta_to_msecs(), patches from Matteo Croce.

3) Set F_IFACE flag for linklocal addresses in ip6t_rpfilter,
   from Florian Westphal.

4) Fix overflow in set size allocation, from Taehee Yoo.

5) Use netlink_dump_start() from ctnetlink to fix memleak from
   the error path, again from Florian.

6) Register nfnetlink_subsys in last place, otherwise netns
   init path may lose race and see net->nft uninitialized data.
   This also reverts previous attempt to fix this by increase
   netns refcount, patches from Florian.

7) Remove conntrack entries on layer 4 protocol tracker module
   removal, from Florian.

8) Use GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT for xtables blob allocation, from
   Michal Hocko.

9) Get tproxy documentation in sync with existing codebase,
   from Mate Eckl.

10) Honor preset layer 3 protocol via ctx->family in the new nft_ct
    timeout infrastructure, from Harsha Sharma.

11) Let uapi nfnetlink_osf.h compile standalone with no errors,
    from Dmitry V. Levin.

12) Missing braces compilation warning in nft_tproxy, patch from
    Mate Eclk.

13) Disregard bogus check to bail out on non-anonymous sets from
    the dynamic set update extension.

- The link for a patched iptables is removed as it is already part of

e6f86b0f7a ipv6: Add icmp_echo_ignore_all support for ICMPv6
Preventing the kernel from responding to ICMP Echo Requests messages
can be useful in several ways. The sysctl parameter
'icmp_echo_ignore_all' can be used to prevent the kernel from
responding to IPv4 ICMP echo requests. For IPv6 pings, such
a sysctl kernel parameter did not exist.

Add the ability to prevent the kernel from responding to IPv6
ICMP echo requests through the use of the following sysctl
parameter : /proc/sys/net/ipv6/icmp/echo_ignore_all.
Update the documentation to reflect this change.

432e05d328 net: ipv4: Control SKB reprioritization after forwarding
After IPv4 packets are forwarded, the priority of the corresponding SKB
is updated according to the TOS field of IPv4 header. This overrides any
prioritization done earlier by e.g. an skbedit action or ingress-qos-map
defined at a vlan device.

Such overriding may not always be desirable. Even if the packet ends up
being routed, which implies this is an L3 network node, an administrator
may wish to preserve whatever prioritization was done earlier on in the
pipeline.

Therefore introduce a sysctl that controls this behavior. Keep the
default value at 1 to maintain backward-compatible behavior.

9c4c325252 skbuff: preserve sock reference when scrubbing the skb.
The sock reference is lost when scrubbing the packet and that breaks
TSQ (TCP Small Queues) and XPS (Transmit Packet Steering) causing
performance impacts of about 50% in a single TCP stream when crossing
network namespaces.

XPS breaks because the queue mapping stored in the socket is not
available, so another random queue might be selected when the stack
needs to transmit something like a TCP ACK, or TCP Retransmissions.
That causes packet re-ordering and/or performance issues.

TSQ breaks because it orphans the packet while it is still in the
host, so packets are queued contributing to the buffer bloat problem.

Preserving the sock reference fixes both issues. The socket is
orphaned anyways in the receiving path before any relevant action
and on TX side the netfilter checks if the reference is local before
use it.

Daniel Borkmann says:

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2018-06-05

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Add a new BPF hook for sendmsg similar to existing hooks for bind and
   connect: "This allows to override source IP (including the case when it's
   set via cmsg(3)) and destination IP:port for unconnected UDP (slow path).
   TCP and connected UDP (fast path) are not affected. This makes UDP support
   complete, that is, connected UDP is handled by connect hooks, unconnected
   by sendmsg ones.", from Andrey.

2) Rework of the AF_XDP API to allow extending it in future for type writer
   model if necessary. In this mode a memory window is passed to hardware
   and multiple frames might be filled into that window instead of just one
   that is the case in the current fixed frame-size model. With the new
   changes made this can be supported without having to add a new descriptor
   format. Also, core bits for the zero-copy support for AF_XDP have been
   merged as agreed upon, where i40e bits will be routed via Jeff later on.
   Various improvements to documentation and sample programs included as
   well, all from Björn and Magnus.

3) Given BPF's flexibility, a new program type has been added to implement
   infrared decoders. Quote: "The kernel IR decoders support the most
   widely used IR protocols, but there are many protocols which are not
   supported. [...] There is a 'long tail' of unsupported IR protocols,
   for which lircd is need to decode the IR. IR encoding is done in such
   a way that some simple circuit can decode it; therefore, BPF is ideal.
   [...] user-space can define a decoder in BPF, attach it to the rc
   device through the lirc chardev.", from Sean.

4) Several improvements and fixes to BPF core, among others, dumping map
   and prog IDs into fdinfo which is a straight forward way to correlate
   BPF objects used by applications, removing an indirect call and therefore
   retpoline in all map lookup/update/delete calls by invoking the callback
   directly for 64 bit archs, adding a new bpf_skb_cgroup_id() BPF helper
   for tc BPF programs to have an efficient way of looking up cgroup v2 id
   for policy or other use cases. Fixes to make sure we zero tunnel/xfrm
   state that hasn't been filled, to allow context access wrt pt_regs in
   32 bit archs for tracing, and last but not least various test cases
   for fixes that landed in bpf earlier, from Daniel.

5) Get rid of the ndo_xdp_flush API and extend the ndo_xdp_xmit with
   a XDP_XMIT_FLUSH flag instead which allows to avoid one indirect
   call as flushing is now merged directly into ndo_xdp_xmit(), from Jesper.

6) Add a new bpf_get_current_cgroup_id() helper that can be used in
   tracing to retrieve the cgroup id from the current process in order
   to allow for e.g. aggregation of container-level events, from Yonghong.

7) Two follow-up fixes for BTF to reject invalid input values and
   related to that also two test cases for BPF kselftests, from Martin.

8) Various API improvements to the bpf_fib_lookup() helper, that is,
   dropping MPLS bits which are not fully hashed out yet, rejecting
   invalid helper flags, returning error for unsupported address
   families as well as renaming flowlabel to flowinfo, from David.

9) Various fixes and improvements to sockmap BPF kselftests in particular
   in proper error detection and data verification, from Prashant.

10) Two arm32 BPF JIT improvements. One is to fix imm range check with
    regards to whether immediate fits into 24 bits, and a naming cleanup
    to get functions related to rsh handling consistent to those handling
    lsh, from Wang.

11) Two compile warning fixes in BPF, one for BTF and a false positive
    to silent gcc in stack_map_get_build_id_offset(), from Arnd.

12) Add missing seg6.h header into tools include infrastructure in order
    to fix compilation of BPF kselftests, from Mathieu.

13) Several formatting cleanups in the BPF UAPI helper description that
    also fix an error during rst2man compilation, from Quentin.

14) Hide an unused variable in sk_msg_convert_ctx_access() when IPv6 is
    not built into the kernel, from Yue.

15) Remove a useless double assignment in dev_map_enqueue(), from Colin.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-06-04

This series contains a smorgasbord of updates to documentation, e1000e,
igb, ixgbe, ixgbevf and i40e.

Benjamin Poirier fixes a potential kernel crash due to NULL pointer
dereference in e1000e.

Jeff updates the kernel documentation for e100 and e1000 to correct
default values and URLs which were incorrect in the documentation.  Also
took the time to update these to the new reStructured text format for
kernel documentation.

Joanna Yurdal fixes a missing PTP transmit timestamp by ensuring that
TSICR gets cleared when ICR is cleared.

Sergey updates igb to reset all the transmit queues at one time so that
we only have to wait once for all the queues to be reset.

Alex fixes ixgbevf so that malicious driver detection (MDD) can co-exist
with XDP.

Emil and Tony extend the RTNL lock to ensure we get the most up-to-date
values for the bits and avoid a possible race condition when going down.

YueHaibing from Huawei introduces a helper function in ixgbe for
operation reads to simplify the code a bit more.

Daniel Borkmann adds support for XDP meta data when using build SKB
for i40e.

Shannon Nelson provides twp fixes for the IPSec code in ixgbe, first is
to make sure we do not try to offload the decryption of any incoming
packet that is destined for the management engine.  The other fix is to
resolve a cast problem introduced by a sparse cleanup patch.

79e9fed460 net-tcp: extend tcp_tw_reuse sysctl to enable loopback only optimization
This changes the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_reuse from a boolean
to an integer.

It now takes the values 0, 1 and 2, where 0 and 1 behave as before,
while 2 enables timewait socket reuse only for sockets that we can
prove are loopback connections:
  ie. bound to 'lo' interface or where one of source or destination
  IPs is 127.0.0.0/8, ::ffff:127.0.0.0/104 or ::1.

This enables quicker reuse of ephemeral ports for loopback connections
- where tcp_tw_reuse is 100% safe from a protocol perspective
(this assumes no artificially induced packet loss on 'lo').

This also makes estblishing many loopback connections *much* faster
(allocating ports out of the first half of the ephemeral port range
is significantly faster, then allocating from the second half)

Without this change in a 32K ephemeral port space my sample program
(it just establishes and closes [::1]:ephemeral -> [::1]:server_port
connections in a tight loop) fails after 32765 connections in 24 seconds.
With it enabled 50000 connections only take 4.7 seconds.

This is particularly problematic for IPv6 where we only have one local
address and cannot play tricks with varying source IP from 127.0.0.0/8
pool.

bbff2f321a xsk: new descriptor addressing scheme
Currently, AF_XDP only supports a fixed frame-size memory scheme where
each frame is referenced via an index (idx). A user passes the frame
index to the kernel, and the kernel acts upon the data.  Some NICs,
however, do not have a fixed frame-size model, instead they have a
model where a memory window is passed to the hardware and multiple
frames are filled into that window (referred to as the "type-writer"
model).

By changing the descriptor format from the current frame index
addressing scheme, AF_XDP can in the future be extended to support
these kinds of NICs.

In the index-based model, an idx refers to a frame of size
frame_size. Addressing a frame in the UMEM is done by offseting the
UMEM starting address by a global offset, idx * frame_size + offset.
Communicating via the fill- and completion-rings are done by means of
idx.

In this commit, the idx is removed in favor of an address (addr),
which is a relative address ranging over the UMEM. To convert an
idx-based address to the new addr is simply: addr = idx * frame_size +
offset.

We also stop referring to the UMEM "frame" as a frame. Instead it is
simply called a chunk.

To transfer ownership of a chunk to the kernel, the addr of the chunk
is passed in the fill-ring. Note, that the kernel will mask addr to
make it chunk aligned, so there is no need for userspace to do
that. E.g., for a chunk size of 2k, passing an addr of 2048, 2050 or
3000 to the fill-ring will refer to the same chunk.

On the completion-ring, the addr will match that of the Tx descriptor,
passed to the kernel.

Changing the descriptor format to use chunks/addr will allow for
future changes to move to a type-writer based model, where multiple
frames can reside in one chunk. In this model passing one single chunk
into the fill-ring, would potentially result in multiple Rx
descriptors.

This commit changes the uapi of AF_XDP sockets, and updates the
documentation.

ba5e4426e8 virtio_net: Extend virtio to use VF datapath when available
This patch enables virtio_net to switch over to a VF datapath when STANDBY
feature is enabled and a VF netdev is present with the same MAC address.
It allows live migration of a VM with a direct attached VF without the need
to setup a bond/team between a VF and virtio net device in the guest.

It uses the API that is exported by the net_failover driver to create and
and destroy a master failover netdev. When STANDBY feature is enabled, an
additional netdev(failover netdev) is created that acts as a master device
and tracks the state of the 2 lower netdevs. The original virtio_net netdev
is marked as 'standby' netdev and a passthru device with the same MAC is
registered as 'primary' netdev.

The hypervisor needs to unplug the VF device from the guest on the source
host and reset the MAC filter of the VF to initiate failover of datapath
to virtio before starting the migration. After the migration is completed,
the destination hypervisor sets the MAC filter on the VF and plugs it back
to the guest to switch over to VF datapath.

This patch is based on the discussion initiated by Jesse on this thread.

cfc80d9a11 net: Introduce net_failover driver
The net_failover driver provides an automated failover mechanism via APIs
to create and destroy a failover master netdev and manages a primary and
standby slave netdevs that get registered via the generic failover
infrastructure.

The failover netdev acts a master device and controls 2 slave devices. The
original paravirtual interface gets registered as 'standby' slave netdev and
a passthru/vf device with the same MAC gets registered as 'primary' slave
netdev. Both 'standby' and 'failover' netdevs are associated with the same
'pci' device. The user accesses the network interface via 'failover' netdev.
The 'failover' netdev chooses 'primary' netdev as default for transmits when
it is available with link up and running.

This can be used by paravirtual drivers to enable an alternate low latency
datapath. It also enables hypervisor controlled live migration of a VM with
direct attached VF by failing over to the paravirtual datapath when the VF
is unplugged.

30c8bd5aa8 net: Introduce generic failover module
The failover module provides a generic interface for paravirtual drivers
to register a netdev and a set of ops with a failover instance. The ops
are used as event handlers that get called to handle netdev register/
unregister/link change/name change events on slave pci ethernet devices
with the same mac address as the failover netdev.

This enables paravirtual drivers to use a VF as an accelerated low latency
datapath. It also allows migration of VMs with direct attached VFs by
failing over to the paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged.

af8d3c7c00 ppp: remove the PPPIOCDETACH ioctl
The PPPIOCDETACH ioctl effectively tries to "close" the given ppp file
before f_count has reached 0, which is fundamentally a bad idea.  It
does check 'f_count < 2', which excludes concurrent operations on the
file since they would only be possible with a shared fd table, in which
case each fdget() would take a file reference.  However, it fails to
account for the fact that even with 'f_count == 1' the file can still be
linked into epoll instances.  As reported by syzbot, this can trivially
be used to cause a use-after-free.

Yet, the only known user of PPPIOCDETACH is pppd versions older than
ppp-2.4.2, which was released almost 15 years ago (November 2003).
Also, PPPIOCDETACH apparently stopped working reliably at around the
same time, when the f_count check was added to the kernel, e.g. see
https://lkml.org/lkml/2002/12/31/83.  Also, the current 'f_count < 2'
check makes PPPIOCDETACH only work in single-threaded applications; it
always fails if called from a multithreaded application.

All pppd versions released in the last 15 years just close() the file
descriptor instead.

Therefore, instead of hacking around this bug by exporting epoll
internals to modules, and probably missing other related bugs, just
remove the PPPIOCDETACH ioctl and see if anyone actually notices.  Leave
a stub in place that prints a one-time warning and returns EINVAL.
