48669698c2 sctp: remove redundant check when walking through a list of TLV parameters
When  pos.v <= (void *)chunk + end - ntohs(pos.p->length) and
ntohs(pos.p->length) >= sizeof(sctp_paramhdr_t) these two expressions are all true,
pos.v <= (void *)chunk + end - sizeof(sctp_paramhdr_t) *must* be true.

This patch removes this kind of redundant check.
It's same to  _sctp_walk_errors macro.

fce55922f5 ethtool: allow custom interval for physical identification
When physical identification of an adapter is done by toggling the
mechanism on and off through software utilizing the set_phys_id operation,
it is done with a fixed duration for both on and off states.  Some drivers
may want to set a custom duration for the on/off intervals.  This patch
changes the API so the return code from the driver's entry point when it
is called with ETHTOOL_ID_ACTIVE can specify the frequency at which to
cycle the on/off states, and updates the drivers that have already been
converted to use the new set_phys_id and use the synchronous method for
identifying an adapter.

The physical identification frequency set in the updated drivers is based
on how it was done prior to the introduction of set_phys_id.

Compile tested only.  Also fixes a compiler warning in sfc.

v2: drivers do not return -EINVAL for ETHOOL_ID_ACTIVE
v3: fold patchset into single patch and cleanup per Ben's feedback

21d8c49e01 ipv4: Call fib_select_default() only when actually necessary.
fib_select_default() is a complete NOP, and completely pointless
to invoke, when we have no more than 1 default route installed.

And this is far and away the common case.

So remember how many prefixlen==0 routes we have in the routing
table, and elide the call when we have no more than one of those.

This cuts output route creation time by 157 cycles on Niagara2+.

In order to add the new int to fib_table, we have to correct the type
of ->tb_data[] to unsigned long, otherwise the private area will be
unaligned on 64-bit systems.

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.

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

When an interrupt occurs, the INT pin is driven low by the
MCP251x controller (falling edge) but in some cases the INT
pin can be connected to the MPU through a transistor or level
translator which inverts this signal. In this case interrupt
should be configured in rising edge.

This patch adds support to pass the IRQ flags via

a63a5cf84d dm: improve block integrity support
The current block integrity (DIF/DIX) support in DM is verifying that
all devices' integrity profiles match during DM device resume (which
is past the point of no return).  To some degree that is unavoidable
(stacked DM devices force this late checking).  But for most DM
devices (which aren't stacking on other DM devices) the ideal time to
verify all integrity profiles match is during table load.

Introduce the notion of an "initialized" integrity profile: a profile
that was blk_integrity_register()'d with a non-NULL 'blk_integrity'
template.  Add blk_integrity_is_initialized() to allow checking if a
profile was initialized.

Update DM integrity support to:
- check all devices with _initialized_ integrity profiles match
  during table load; uninitialized profiles (e.g. for underlying DM
  device(s) of a stacked DM device) are ignored.
- disallow a table load that would result in an integrity profile that
  conflicts with a DM device's existing (in-use) integrity profile
- avoid clearing an existing integrity profile
- validate all integrity profiles match during resume; but if they
  don't all we can do is report the mismatch (during resume we're past
  the point of no return)

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.

8717d07b11 ethtool: Fill out and update comment for struct ethtool_ops
Briefly document all operations (except get_rx_ntuple), including
whether they may return an error code and whether they are deprecated.
Also mention some things that should be handled by the ethtool core
rather than by drivers.

Briefly document general requirements for callers.

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.
