The EMAC driver had a custom IBM_EMAC_RX_SKB_HEADROOM
Kconfig option that reserved additional skb headroom for RX.
This patch removes the option and migrates the code
to use napi_alloc_skb() and netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align()
in its place.

rds: add tos support
RDS applications make use of tos to classify database traffic.
This feature has been used in shipping products from 2.6.32 based
kernels. Its tied with RDS v4.1 protocol version and the compatibility
gets negotiated as part of connections setup.
Patchset keeps full backward compatibility using existing connection
negotiation scheme. Currently the feature is exploited by RDMA
transport and for TCP transport the user tos values are mapped to
same default class (0).
For RDMA transports, RDMA CM service type API is used to
set up different SL(service lanes) and the IB fabric is configured
for tos mapping using Subnet Manager(SL to VL mappings).
Similarly for ROCE fabric, user priority is mapped with different
DSCP code points which are associated with different switch queues
in the fabric.
The original code was developed by Bang Nguyen in downstream kernel back in
2.6.32 kernel days and it has evolved significantly over period of time.
Thanks to Yanjun for doing testing with various combinations of host like
v3.1<->v4.1, v4.1.<->v3.1, v4.1 upstream to shipping v4.1 etc etc

bio_trim() has an early return, which makes it _not_ idempotent, if the
offset is 0 and the bio's bi_size already matches the requested size.
Prior to DM, all users of bio_trim() were fine with this. But DM has
exposed the fact that bio_trim()'s early return is incompatible with a
cloned bio whose integrity payload must be trimmed via
bio_integrity_trim().
Fix this by reverting DM back to doing the equivalent of bio_trim() but
in an idempotent manner (so bio_integrity_trim is always performed).
Follow-on work is needed to assess what benefit bio_trim()'s early
return is providing to its existing callers.

Block core changes to switch bio-based IO accounting to be percpu had a
side-effect of altering DM core to now rely on calling waitqueue_active
(in both bio-based and request-based) to check if another task is in
dm_wait_for_completion().
A memory barrier is needed before calling waitqueue_active(). DM core
doesn't piggyback on a preceding memory barrier so it must explicitly
use its own.
For more details on why using waitqueue_active() without a preceding
barrier is unsafe, please see the comment before the waitqueue_active()
definition in include/linux/wait.h.
Add the missing memory barrier by switching to using wq_has_sleeper().

mlxsw: Offload blackhole routes
Blackhole routes are routes that cause matching packets to be silently
dropped. This is in contrast to unreachable routes that generate an ICMP
host unreachable packet in response.
The driver currently programs both route types with a trap action and
lets the kernel drop matching packets. This is sub-optimal as packets
routed using a blackhole route can be directly dropped by the ASIC.
Patch #1 alters mlxsw to program blackhole routes with a discard action.
Patch #2 adds a matching test.

net: Introduce ndo_get_port_parent_id()
Based on discussion with Ido and feedback from Jakub there are clearly
two classes of users that implement SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_PARENT_ID:
- PF/VF drivers which typically only implement return the port's parent
ID, yet have to implement switchdev_port_attr_get() just for that
- Ethernet switch drivers: mlxsw, ocelot, DSA, etc. which implement more
attributes which we want to be able to eventually veto in the context
of the caller, thus making them candidates for using a blocking notifier
chain
Changes in v4:
- remove superfluous net/switchdev.h inclusions in a few files
- added Jiri's Acked-by where given
- removed err = -EOPNOTSUPP initializations
- changed according to Jiri's suggestion in net/ipv4/ipmr.c
Changes in v3:
- keep ethsw's switchdev_ops assignment
- remove inclusion of net/switchdev.h in netdevsim which is no longer
necesary
Changes in v2:
- resolved build failures spotted by kbuild test robot
- added helpers functions into the core network device layer:
dev_get_port_parent_id() and netdev_port_same_parent_id();
- added support for recursion to lower devices
Changes from RFC:
- introduce a ndo_get_port_parent_id() and convert all relevant drivers
to use it
- get rid of SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_PARENT_ID
A subsequent set of patches will convert switchdev_port_attr_set() to
use a blocking notifier call, and still get rid of
switchdev_port_attr_get() altogether.

In preparation for getting rid of switchdev_ops, create a dedicated NDO
operation for getting the port's parent identifier. There are
essentially two classes of drivers that need to implement getting the
port's parent ID which are VF/PF drivers with a built-in switch, and
pure switchdev drivers such as mlxsw, ocelot, dsa etc.
We introduce a helper function: dev_get_port_parent_id() which supports
recursion into the lower devices to obtain the first port's parent ID.
Convert the bridge, core and ipv4 multicast routing code to check for
such ndo_get_port_parent_id() and call the helper function when valid
before falling back to switchdev_port_attr_get(). This will allow us to
convert all relevant drivers in one go instead of having to implement
both switchdev_port_attr_get() and ndo_get_port_parent_id() operations,
then get rid of switchdev_port_attr_get().
