This patch improves memory utilization and therefore the packets rate
for special MTU's. Instead of setting the frag_stride to the maximal
hard coded frag_size, use the actual frag_size that is set according to
the MTU, when setting the stride of the last frag.
So, for example, for MTU 1600, where the frag_size of the 2nd frag is
86, the frag_size is set to 128 instead of 4096. See below:
Before:
frag:0 - size:1536 prefix:0 stride:1536
frag:1 - size:86 prefix:1536 stride:4096
frag 0 allocator: - size:32768 frags:21
frag 1 allocator: - size:32768 frags:8
After:
frag:0 - size:1536 prefix:0 stride:1536
frag:1 - size:86 prefix:1536 stride:128
frag 0 allocator: - size:32768 frags:21

====================
Add HA and LAG support to mlx4 RoCE and SRIOV services
This series takes advanges of bonding mlx4 Ethernet devices to support
a model of High-Availability and Link Aggregation for more environments.
The mlx4 driver reacts on netdev events generated by bonding when
slave state changes happen by programming a HW V2P (Virt-to-Phys)
port table. Bonding was extended to expose these state changes
through netdev events.
When an mlx4 interface such as the mlx4 IB/RoCE driver is subject to
this policy, QPs are created over virtual ports which are mapped
to one of the two physical ports. When a failure happens, the
re-programming of the V2P table allows traffic to keep flowing.
The mlx4 Ethernet driver interfaces are not subject to this
policy and act as usual.
A 2nd use-case for this model would be to add HA and Link Aggregation
support to single ported mlx4 Ethernet VFs. In this case, the PF Ethernet
intrfaces are bonded, all the VFs see single port devices (which is
supported already today), and VF QPs are subject to V2P.

tipc: some small fixes
During extensive testing and analysis of running dual links between
nodes, we have encountered some issues that potentially may cause
problems. We choose to fix those proactively in this series.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
When a new link instance is created, it is trigged to start by
sending it a TIPC_STARTING_EVT, whereafter a regular link
reset is applied to it.
The starting event is codewise treated as a timeout event, and prompts
a link RESET message to be sent to the peer node, carrying a link
session identifier. The later link_reset() call nudges this session
identifier, whereafter all subsequent RESET messages will be sent out
with the new identifier. The latter session number overrides the former,
causing the peer to unconditionally accept it irrespective of its
current working state.
We don't think that this causes any problem, but it is not in accordance
with the protocol spec, and may cause confusion when debugging TIPC
sessions.
To avoid this, we make the starting event distinct from the
subsequent timeout events, by not allowing the former to send
out any RESET message. This eliminates the described problem.

Instances of struct node are created in the function tipc_disc_rcv()
under the assumption that there is no race between received discovery
messages arriving from the same node. This assumption is wrong.
When we use more than one bearer, it is possible that discovery
messages from the same node arrive at the same moment, resulting in
creation of two instances of struct tipc_node. This may later cause
confusion during link establishment, and may result in one of the links
never becoming activated.
We fix this by making lookup and potential creation of nodes atomic.
Instead of first looking up the node, and in case of failure, create it,
we now start with looking up the node inside node_link_create(), and
return a reference to that one if found. Otherwise, we go ahead and
create the node as we did before.

During link failover it may happen that the remaining link goes
down while it is still in the process of taking over traffic
from a previously failed link. When this happens, we currently
abort the failover procedure and reset the first failed link to
non-failover mode, so that it will be ready to re-establish
contact with its peer when it comes available.
However, if the first link goes down because its bearer was manually
disabled, it is not enough to reset it; it must also be deleted;
which is supposed to happen when the failover procedure is finished.
Otherwise it will remain a zombie link: attached to the owner node
structure, in mode LINK_STOPPED, and permanently blocking any re-
establishing of the link to the peer via the interface in question.
We fix this by amending the failover abort procedure. Apart from
resetting the link to non-failover state, we test if the link is
also in LINK_STOPPED mode. If so, we delete it, using the conditional
tipc_link_delete() function introduced in the previous commit.

When a bearer is disabled, all pertaining links will be reset and
deleted. However, if there is a second active link towards a killed
link's destination, the delete has to be postponed until the failover
is finished. During this interval, we currently put the link in zombie
mode, i.e., we take it out of traffic, delete its timer, but leave it
attached to the owner node structure until all missing packets have
been received. When this is done, we detach the link from its node
and delete it, assuming that the synchronous timer deletion that was
initiated earlier in a different thread has finished.
This is unsafe, as the failover may finish before del_timer_sync()
has returned in the other thread.
We fix this by adding an atomic reference counter of type kref in
struct tipc_link. The counter keeps track of the references kept
to the link by the owner node and the timer. We then do a conditional
delete, based on the reference counter, both after the failover has
been finished and when the timer expires, if applicable. Whoever
comes last, will actually delete the link. This approach also implies
that we can make the deletion of the timer asynchronous.

A typical qdisc setup is the following :
bond0 : bonding device, using HTB hierarchy
eth1/eth2 : slaves, multiqueue NIC, using MQ + FQ qdisc
XPS allows to spread packets on specific tx queues, based on the cpu
doing the send.
Problem is that dequeues from bond0 qdisc can happen on random cpus,
due to the fact that qdisc_run() can dequeue a batch of packets.
CPUA -> queue packet P1 on bond0 qdisc, P1->ooo_okay=1
CPUA -> queue packet P2 on bond0 qdisc, P2->ooo_okay=0
CPUB -> dequeue packet P1 from bond0
enqueue packet on eth1/eth2
CPUC -> dequeue packet P2 from bond0
enqueue packet on eth1/eth2 using sk cache (ooo_okay is 0)
get_xps_queue() then might select wrong queue for P1, since current cpu
might be different than CPUA.
P2 might be sent on the old queue (stored in sk->sk_tx_queue_mapping),
if CPUC runs a bit faster (or CPUB spins a bit on qdisc lock)
Effect of this bug is TCP reorders, and more generally not optimal
TX queue placement. (A victim bulk flow can be migrated to the wrong TX
queue for a while)
To fix this, we have to record sender cpu number the first time
dev_queue_xmit() is called for one tx skb.
We can union napi_id (used on receive path) and sender_cpu,
granted we clear sender_cpu in skb_scrub_packet() (credit to Willem for
this union idea)

Now that we can individually construct IPv6 skbs to send, add a
udpv6_send_skb() function to populate the udp header and send the
skb. This allows udp_v6_push_pending_frames() to re-use this
function as well as enables us to add lockless sendmsg() support.

inet: Add ip_make_skb and ip_finish_skb
It adds IPv6 version of the helpers ip6_make_skb and ip6_finish_skb.
The job of ip6_make_skb is to collect messages into an ipv6 packet
and poplulate ipv6 eader. The job of ip6_finish_skb is to transmit
the generated skb. Together they replicated the job of
ip6_push_pending_frames() while also provide the capability to be
called independently. This will be needed to add lockless UDP sendmsg
support.
