When we modify or create a new fdb entry sometimes we want to avoid
refreshing its activity in order to track it properly. One example is
when a mac is received from EVPN multi-homing peer by FRR, which doesn't
want to change local activity accounting. It makes it static and sets a
flag to track its activity.

This patch adds the ability to notify about activity of any entries
(static, permanent or ext_learn). EVPN multihoming peers need it to
properly and efficiently handle mac sync (peer active/locally active).
We add a new NFEA_ACTIVITY_NOTIFY attribute which is used to dump the
current activity state and to control if static entries should be monitored
at all. We use 2 bits - one to activate fdb entry tracking (disabled by
default) and the second to denote that an entry is inactive. We need
the second bit in order to avoid multiple notifications of inactivity.
Obviously this makes no difference for dynamic entries since at the time
of inactivity they get deleted, while the tracked non-dynamic entries get
the inactive bit set and get a notification.

When commit df1c0b8468 ("[BRIDGE]: Packets leaking out of
disabled/blocked ports.") introduced the port state tests in
br_fdb_update() it was to avoid learning/refreshing from STP BPDUs, it was
also used to avoid learning/refreshing from user-space with NTF_USE. Those
two tests are done for every packet entering the bridge if it's learning,
but for the fast-path we already have them checked in br_handle_frame() and
is unnecessary to do it again. Thus push the checks to the unlikely cases
and drop them from br_fdb_update(), the new nbp_state_should_learn() helper
is used to determine if the port state allows br_fdb_update() to be called.
The two places which need to do it manually are:
- user-space add call with NTF_USE set
- link-local packet learning done in __br_handle_local_finish()

This patch changes rhashtables to use a bit_spin_lock on BIT(1) of the
bucket pointer to lock the hash chain for that bucket.
The benefits of a bit spin_lock are:
- no need to allocate a separate array of locks.
- no need to have a configuration option to guide the
choice of the size of this array
- locking cost is often a single test-and-set in a cache line
that will have to be loaded anyway. When inserting at, or removing
from, the head of the chain, the unlock is free - writing the new
address in the bucket head implicitly clears the lock bit.
For __rhashtable_insert_fast() we ensure this always happens
when adding a new key.
- even when lockings costs 2 updates (lock and unlock), they are
in a cacheline that needs to be read anyway.
The cost of using a bit spin_lock is a little bit of code complexity,
which I think is quite manageable.
Bit spin_locks are sometimes inappropriate because they are not fair -
if multiple CPUs repeatedly contend of the same lock, one CPU can
easily be starved. This is not a credible situation with rhashtable.
Multiple CPUs may want to repeatedly add or remove objects, but they
will typically do so at different buckets, so they will attempt to
acquire different locks.
As we have more bit-locks than we previously had spinlocks (by at
least a factor of two) we can expect slightly less contention to
go with the slightly better cache behavior and reduced memory
consumption.
To enhance type checking, a new struct is introduced to represent the
pointer plus lock-bit
that is stored in the bucket-table. This is "struct rhash_lock_head"
and is empty. A pointer to this needs to be cast to either an
unsigned lock, or a "struct rhash_head *" to be useful.
Variables of this type are most often called "bkt".
Previously "pprev" would sometimes point to a bucket, and sometimes a
->next pointer in an rhash_head. As these are now different types,
pprev is NULL when it would have pointed to the bucket. In that case,
'blk' is used, together with correct locking protocol.

Externally learned entries can be added by a user or by a switch driver
that is notifying the bridge driver about entries that were learned in
hardware.
In the first case, the entries are not marked with the 'added_by_user'
flag, which causes switch drivers to ignore them and not offload them.
The 'added_by_user' flag can be set on externally learned FDB entries
based on the 'swdev_notify' parameter in br_fdb_external_learn_add(),
which effectively means if the created / updated FDB entry was added by
a user or not.

This changes with VxLAN encapsulation.
Devices capable of performing VxLAN encapsulation usually have only one
FDB table, unlike the software data path which has two - one in the
bridge driver and another in the VxLAN driver.
Therefore, bridge FDB entries pointing to a VxLAN device are only
offloaded if there is a corresponding entry in the VxLAN FDB.
Allow clearing the offload indication in case the corresponding entry

Before this patch the bridge used a fixed 256 element hash table which
was fine for small use cases (in my tests it starts to degrade
above 1000 entries), but it wasn't enough for medium or large
scale deployments. Modern setups have thousands of participants in a
single bridge, even only enabling vlans and adding a few thousand vlan
entries will cause a few thousand fdbs to be automatically inserted per
participating port. So we need to scale the fdb table considerably to
cope with modern workloads, and this patch converts it to use a
rhashtable for its operations thus improving the bridge scalability.
Tests show the following results (10 runs each), at up to 1000 entries
rhashtable is ~3% slower, at 2000 rhashtable is 30% faster, at 3000 it
is 2 times faster and at 30000 it is 50 times faster.
Obviously this happens because of the properties of the two constructs
and is expected, rhashtable keeps pretty much a constant time even with
10000000 entries (tested), while the fixed hash table struggles
considerably even above 10000.
As a side effect this also reduces the net_bridge struct size from 3248
bytes to 1344 bytes. Also note that the key struct is 8 bytes.

because devices may potentially learn FDB that are not directly related

1. Mixed SW/HW bridge - FDBs that point to the ASICs external devices
should be offloaded as CPU traps in order to
perform forwarding in slow path.
2. EVPN - Externally learned FDBs for the vtep device.
Notification is sent only about static FDB add/del. This is done due

fdb dumps spanning multiple skb's currently restart from the first
interface again for every skb. This results in unnecessary
iterations on the already visited interfaces and their fdb
entries. In large scale setups, we have seen this to slow
down fdb dumps considerably. On a system with 30k macs we
see fdb dumps spanning across more than 300 skbs.
To fix the problem, this patch replaces the existing single fdb
marker with three markers: netdev hash entries, netdevs and fdb
index to continue where we left off instead of restarting from the
first netdev. This is consistent with link dumps.
In the process of fixing the performance issue, this patch also
re-implements fix done by
commit 472681d57a ("net: ndo_fdb_dump should report -EMSGSIZE to rtnl_fdb_dump")

- change ndo_fdb_dump handlers to return error code instead
of the last fdb index
- use cb->args strictly for dump frag markers and not error codes.
This is consistent with other dump functions.
