bcc6d47903 net: vlan: make non-hw-accel rx path similar to hw-accel
Now there are 2 paths for rx vlan frames. When rx-vlan-hw-accel is
enabled, skb is untagged by NIC, vlan_tci is set and the skb gets into
vlan code in __netif_receive_skb - vlan_hwaccel_do_receive.

For non-rx-vlan-hw-accel however, tagged skb goes thru whole
__netif_receive_skb, it's untagged in ptype_base hander and reinjected

This incosistency is fixed by this patch. Vlan untagging happens early in
__netif_receive_skb so the rest of code (ptype_all handlers, rx_handlers)
see the skb like it was untagged by hw.

127fe533ae v3 ethtool: add ntuple flow specifier data to network flow classifier
This change is meant to add an ntuple data extensions to the rx network flow
classification specifiers.  The idea is to allow ntuple to be displayed via
the network flow classification interface.

The first patch had some left over stuff from the original flow extension
flags I had added.  That bit is removed in this patch.

The second had some left over comments that stated we ignored bits in the
masks when we actually match them.

This work is based on input from Ben Hutchings.

5d9f11cf50 ethtool: prevent null pointer dereference with NTUPLE set but no set_rx_ntuple
This change is meant to prevent a possible null pointer dereference if
NETIF_F_NTUPLE is defined but the set_rx_ntuple function pointer is not.

The main motivation behind this patch is to eventually replace the ntuple
interfaces entirely with the network flow classifier interfaces.  This
allows the device drivers to maintain the ntuple check internally while
using the network flow classifier interface for setting up and displaying
rules.

990078afbf Disable rp_filter for IPsec packets
The reverse path filter interferes with IPsec subnet-to-subnet tunnels,
especially when the link to the IPsec peer is on an interface other than
the one hosting the default route.

With dynamic routing, where the peer might be reachable through eth0
today and eth1 tomorrow, it's difficult to keep rp_filter enabled unless
fake routes to the remote subnets are configured on the interface
currently used to reach the peer.

IPsec provides a much stronger anti-spoofing policy than rp_filter, so
this patch disables the rp_filter for packets with a security path.

1b86a58f9d ipv4: Fix "Set rt->rt_iif more sanely on output routes."
Commit 1018b5c016 ("Set rt->rt_iif more
sanely on output routes.")  breaks rt_is_{output,input}_route.

This became the cause to return "IP_PKTINFO's ->ipi_ifindex == 0".

To fix it, this does:

1) Add "int rt_route_iif;" to struct rtable

2) For input routes, always set rt_route_iif to same value as rt_iif

3) For output routes, always set rt_route_iif to zero.  Set rt_iif
   as it is done currently.

4) Change rt_is_{output,input}_route() to test rt_route_iif

a90c7a313a cfg80211: add a timer for invalid user reg hints
We have no other option but to inform userspace that we
have queued up their regulatory hint request when we are
given one given that nl80211 operates atomically on user
requests. The best we can do is accept the request, and
add a delayed work item for processing failure and cancel it
if we succeeed. Upon failure we restore the regulatory
settings and ignore the user input.

This fixes this reported bug:

146095557b cfg80211: fix regulatory restore upon user hints
When we restore regulatory settings its possible CRDA
will not reply because of a bogus user entry. In this
case the bogus entry will prevent any further processing
on cfg80211 for regulatory domains even if we restore
regulatory settings.

To prevent this we suck out all pending requests when
restoring regulatory settings and add them back into the
queue after we have queued up the reset work.

The impact of not having this applied is that a user
with privileges can issue a userspace regulatory hint
while we are disasocciating and this would prevent any
further processing of regulatory domains.

47482f132a ipv6: Enable RFS sk_rxhash tracking for ipv6 sockets (v2)
properly record sk_rxhash in ipv6 sockets (v2)

Noticed while working on another project that flows to sockets which I had open
on a test systems weren't getting steered properly when I had RFS enabled.
Looking more closely I found that:

1) The affected sockets were all ipv6
2) They weren't getting steered because sk->sk_rxhash was never set from the
incomming skbs on that socket.

This was occuring because there are several points in the IPv4 tcp and udp code
which save the rxhash value when a new connection is established.  Those calls
to sock_rps_save_rxhash were never added to the corresponding ipv6 code paths.
This patch adds those calls.  Tested by myself to properly enable RFS
functionalty on ipv6.

68f512f21a ethtool: Change ETHTOOL_PHYS_ID implementation to allow dropping RTNL
The ethtool ETHTOOL_PHYS_ID command runs for an arbitrarily long
period of time, holding the RTNL lock.  This blocks routing updates,
device enumeration, and various important operations that one might
want to keep running while hunting for the flashing LED.

We need to drop the RTNL lock during this operation, but currently the
core implementation is a thin wrapper around a driver operation and
drivers may well depend upon holding the lock.

Define a new driver operation 'set_phys_id' with an argument that sets
the ID indicator on/off/inactive/active (the last optional, for any
driver or firmware that prefers to handle blinking asynchronously).
When this is defined, the ethtool core drops the lock while waiting
and only acquires it around calls to this operation.

Deprecate the 'phys_id' operation in favour of this.  It can be
removed once all in-tree drivers are converted.

c6e1a0d12c net: Allow no-cache copy from user on transmit
This patch uses __copy_from_user_nocache on transmit to bypass data
cache for a performance improvement.  skb_add_data_nocache and
skb_copy_to_page_nocache can be called by sendmsg functions to use
this feature, initial support is in tcp_sendmsg.  This functionality is
configurable per device using ethtool.

Presumably, this feature would only be useful when the driver does
not touch the data.  The feature is turned on by default if a device
indicates that it does some form of checksum offload; it is off by
default for devices that do no checksum offload or indicate no checksum
is necessary.  For the former case copy-checksum is probably done
anyway, in the latter case the device is likely loopback in which case
the no cache copy is probably not beneficial.

This patch was tested using 200 instances of netperf TCP_RR with
1400 byte request and one byte reply.  Platform is 16 core AMD x86.

No-cache copy disabled:
   672703 tps, 97.13% utilization
   50/90/99% latency:244.31 484.205 1028.41

No-cache copy enabled:
   702113 tps, 96.16% utilization,
   50/90/99% latency 238.56 467.56 956.955

Using 14000 byte request and response sizes demonstrate the
effects more dramatically:

No-cache copy disabled:
   79571 tps, 34.34 %utlization
   50/90/95% latency 1584.46 2319.59 5001.76

No-cache copy enabled:
   83856 tps, 34.81% utilization
   50/90/95% latency 2508.42 2622.62 2735.88

Note especially the effect on latency tail (95th percentile).

This seems to provide a nice performance improvement and is
consistent in the tests I ran.  Presumably, this would provide
the greatest benfits in the presence of an application workload
stressing the cache and a lot of transmit data happening.

14f98f258f bridge: range check STP parameters
Apply restrictions on STP parameters based 802.1D 1998 standard.
   * Fixes missing locking in set path cost ioctl
   * Uses common code for both ioctl and sysfs

This is based on an earlier patch Sasikanth V but with overhaul.

Note:
1. It does NOT enforce the restriction on the relationship max_age and
   forward delay or hello time because in existing implementation these are
   set as independant operations.

2. If STP is disabled, there is no restriction on forward delay

3. No restriction on holding time because users use Linux code to act
   as hub or be sticky.

4. Although standard allow 0-255, Linux only allows 0-63 for port priority
   because more bits are reserved for port number.

bb900b27a2 bridge: allow creating bridge devices with netlink
Add netlink device ops to allow creating bridge device via netlink.
This works in a manner similar to vlan, macvlan and bonding.

Example:
  # ip link add link dev br0 type bridge
  # ip link del dev br0

The change required rearranging initializtion code to deal with
being called by create link. Most of the initialization happens
in br_dev_setup, but allocation of stats is done in ndo_init callback
to deal with allocation failure. Sysfs setup has to wait until
after the network device kobject is registered.

36fd2b63e3 bridge: allow creating/deleting fdb entries via netlink
Use RTM_NEWNEIGH and RTM_DELNEIGH to allow updating of entries
in bridge forwarding table. This allows manipulating static entries
which is not possible with existing tools.

Example (using bridge extensions to iproute2)
   # br fdb add 00:02:03:04:05:06 dev eth0

b078f0df67 bridge: add netlink notification on forward entry changes
This allows applications to query and monitor bridge forwarding
table in the same method used for neighbor table. The forward table
entries are returned in same structure format as used by the ioctl.
If more information is desired in future, the netlink method is
extensible.

Example (using bridge extensions to iproute2)
  # br monitor

664de48bb6 bridge: split rcu and no-rcu cases of fdb lookup
In some cases, look up of forward database entry is done with RCU;
and for others no RCU is needed because of locking. Split the two
cases into two differnt loops (and take off inline).
