Since commit 412ca1550c ("macvlan: Move broadcasts into a work queue"), the
driver uses tx_queue_len of the master device as the limit of packets enqueuing.
Problem is that virtual drivers have this value set to 0, thus all broadcast
packets were rejected.
Because tx_queue_len was arbitrarily chosen, I replace it with a static limit
of 1000 (also arbitrarily chosen).

The problem seems to be that commit f939981492 ("bonding: Don't allow

Currently, macvlan code restricts multicast and unicast
filter setting only to passthru devices. As a result,
if a guest using macvtap wants to receive multicast
traffic, it has to set IFF_ALLMULTI or IFF_PROMISC.
This patch makes it possible to use the fdb interface
to add multicast addresses to the filter thus allowing
a guest to receive only targeted multicast traffic.

This reverts commit 12a2856b60.
The commit above doesn't appear to be necessary any more as the

Additionally the above commit breaks kvm configurations where
one VM is using a device that support checksum offload (virtio) and
the other VM does not.
In this case, packets leaving virtio device will have CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
set. The packets is forwarded to a macvtap that has offload features
turned off. Since we use CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, the host does does not
update the checksum and thus a bad checksum is passed up to
the guest.

Currently broadcasts are handled in network RX context, where
the packets are sent through netif_rx. This means that the number
of macvlans will be constrained by the capacity of netif_rx.
For example, setting up 4096 macvlans practically causes all
broadcast packets to be dropped as the default netif_rx queue
size simply can't handle 4096 skbs being stuffed into it all
at once.
Fundamentally, we need to ensure that the amount of work handled
in each netif_rx backlog run is constrained. As broadcasts are
anything but constrained, it either needs to be limited per run
or moved to process context.
This patch picks the second option and moves all broadcast handling
bar the trivial case of packets going to a single interface into
a work queue. Obviously there also needs to be a limit on how
many broadcast packets we postpone in this way. I've arbitrarily
chosen tx_queue_len of the master device as the limit (act_mirred
also happens to use this parameter in a similar way).
In order to ensure we don't exceed the backlog queue we will use
netif_rx_ni instead of netif_rx for broadcast packets.

Macvlan currently inherits all of its features from the lower
device. When lower device disables offload support, this causes
macvlan to disable offload support as well. This causes
performance regression when using macvlan/macvtap in bridge
mode.
It can be easily demonstrated by creating 2 namespaces using
macvlan in bridge mode and running netperf between them:
MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 10.0.0.1 () port 0 AF_INET

87380 16384 16384 20.00 1204.61
To restore the performance, we add software offload features
to the list of "always_on" features for macvlan. This way
when a namespace or a guest using macvtap initially sends a
packet, this packet will not be segmented at macvlan level.
It will only be segmented when macvlan sends the packet
to the lower device.

Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The
will cause several issues:
- NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan
instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for
lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or
control path.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device
watchdog.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash
when tso is disabled for lower device.
Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just
selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also
extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2
forwarding transmission.
With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need
to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep
a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of
dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission.
In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it
provides a necessary synchronization method.

There are inconsistencies wrt. feature propagation/inheritance between
macvlan and the underlying interface.
When a feature is turned off on the real device before a macvlan is
created on top, these will remain enabled on the macvlan device, whereas
turning off the feature on the lower device after macvlan creation the
kernel will propagate the changes to the macvlan.
The second issue is that, when propagating changes from underlying device
to the macvlan interface, macvlan can erronously lose its NETIF_F_LLTX flag,
as features are anded with the underlying device.
However, LLTX should be kept since it has no dependencies on physical
hardware (LLTX is set on macvlan creation regardless of the lower
device properties, see 8ffab51b3d
(macvlan: lockless tx path).
The LLTX flag is now forced regardless of user settings in absence of
layer2 hw acceleration (a6cc0cfa72,
net: Add layer 2 hardware acceleration operations for macvlan devices).
Use netdev_increment_features to rebuild the feature set on capability
changes on either the lower device or on the macvlan interface.
As pointed out by Ben Hutchings, use netdev_update_features on
NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE event (it calls macvlan_fix_features/netdev_features_change
if needed).

In order to enable lockdep on seqcount/seqlock structures, we
must explicitly initialize any locks.
The u64_stats_sync structure, uses a seqcount, and thus we need
to introduce a u64_stats_init() function and use it to initialize
the structure.
This unfortunately adds a lot of fairly trivial initialization code
to a number of drivers. But the benefit of ensuring correctness makes
this worth while.
Because these changes are required for lockdep to be enabled, and the
changes are quite trivial, I've not yet split this patch out into 30-some
separate patches, as I figured it would be better to get the various
maintainers thoughts on how to best merge this change along with
the seqcount lockdep enablement.

After the commit below attempting to create macvlan devices was
resulting in ENOENT errors,
# ip link add link p3p2 type macvlan
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
This happens because netdev_upper_dev_link() is called before
register_netdevice() in the macvlan code. Through a call chain
this results in a call to __netdev_adjacent_dev_insert() and
finally a sysfs_create_link(). This requires the kobject of
the macvlan to be registered which is done in register_netdevice().
If there is no kobject which is the case here the ENOENT error
is seen on the command line.
To resolve this move the netdev_upper_dev_link() call below
the register_netdevice() call. This aligns with vlan driver
flow.

features can be controlled.

The ath9k Kconfig conflict was a change of a Kconfig option name right
next to the deletion of another option.
The xen-netback conflict was overlapping changes involving the
handling of the notify list in xen_netbk_rx_action().
Batman conflict resolution provided by Antonio Quartulli, basically
keep everything in both conflict hunks.
The nl80211 conflict is a little more involved. In 'net' we added a
dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that
Linus reported. Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted
to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine
whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation.
However, the dump handlers to not use this logic. Instead they have
to explicitly do the locking. There were apparent bugs in the
conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the
RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should
be doing so. So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes.
To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try
to allocate 'tb'.

commit df8ef8f3aa
"macvlan: add FDB bridge ops and macvlan flags"
added a way to control NOPROMISC macvlan flag through netlink.
However, with a non passthrough device we never set promisc on open,
even if NOPROMISC is off. As a result:
If userspace clears NOPROMISC on open, then does not clear it on a
netlink command, promisc counter is not decremented on stop and there
will be no way to clear it once macvlan is detached.
If userspace does not clear NOPROMISC on open, then sets NOPROMISC on a
netlink command, promisc counter will be decremented from 0 and overflow
to fffffffff with no way to clear promisc.
To fix, simply ignore NOPROMISC flag in a netlink command for
non-passthrough devices, same as we do at open/close.
Since we touch this code anyway - check dev_set_promiscuity return code
and pass it to users (though an error here is unlikely).
