Currently we always queue a multicast packet for further processing,
even if none of the macvlan devices are subscribed to the address.
This patch optimises this by adding a global multicast filter for
a macvlan_port.
Note that this patch doesn't handle the broadcast addresses of the
individual macvlan devices correctly, if they are not all identical
to vlan->lowerdev. However, this is already broken because there
is no mechanism in place to update the individual multicast filters
when you change the broadcast address.
If someone cares enough they should fix this by collecting all
broadcast addresses for a macvlan as we do for multicast and unicast.

When we postpone a broadcast packet we save the source port in
the skb if it is local. However, the source port can disappear
before we get a chance to process the packet.
This patch fixes this by holding a ref count on the netdev.
It also delays the skb->cb modification until after we allocate
the new skb as you should not modify shared skbs.

If macvlan_common_newlink fails in register_netdevice after macvlan_init
then it decrements port->count twice, first in macvlan_uninit (from
register_netdevice or rollback_registered) and then again in
macvlan_common_newlink.
A similar problem may exist in the ipvlan driver.
This patch consolidates modifications to port->count into macvlan_init
and macvlan_uninit (thanks to Eric Biederman for suggesting this approach).

Currently when a macvlan is being initialized and the lower device is
netif_carrier_ok(), the macvlan device doesn't run through
rfc2863_policy() and is left with UNKNOWN operstate. Fix it by adding an
unconditional linkwatch event for the new macvlan device. Similar fix is
already used by the 8021q device (see register_vlan_dev()). Also fix the
inconsistent state when the lower device has been down and its carrier
was changed (when a device is down NETDEV_CHANGE doesn't get generated).
The second issue can be seen f.e. when we have a macvlan on top of a 8021q
device which has been down and its real device has been changing carrier
states, after setting the 8021q device up, the macvlan device will have
the same carrier state as it was before even though the 8021q can now
have a different state.
Example for case 1:
4: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast
state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
$ ip l add l eth2 macvl0 type macvlan
$ ip l set macvl0 up
$ ip l sh macvl0
72: macvl0@eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc
noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default
link/ether f6:0b:54:0a:9d:a3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Example for case 2 (order is important):
Prestate: eth2 UP/CARRIER, vlan1 down, vlan1-macvlan down
$ ip l set vlan1-macvlan up
$ ip l sh vlan1-macvlan
71: vlan1-macvlan@vlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500
qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default
link/ether 4a:b8:44:56:b9:b9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
[ eth2 loses CARRIER before vlan1 has been UP-ed ]
$ ip l sh eth2
4: eth2: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast
state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 52:54:00:bf:57:16 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
$ ip l sh vlan1-macvlan
71: vlan1-macvlan@vlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500

$ ip l set vlan1 up
$ ip l sh vlan1
70: vlan1@eth2: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc

link/ether 4a:b8:44:56:b9:b9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
vlan1-macvlan is still UP, still has carrier and is still in the same
operstate as before. After the patch in case 1 macvl0 has state UP as it
should and in case 2 vlan1-macvlan has state LOWERLAYERDOWN again as it
should. Note that while the lower macvlan device is down their carrier
and thus operstate can go out of sync but that will be fixed once the
lower device goes up again.
This behaviour seems to have been present since beginning of git history.

The netif_rx() call on the fast path of macvlan_handle_frame() appears to
be there to ensure that we properly throttle incoming packets. However, it
would appear as though the proper throttling is already in place for all
possible ingress paths, and that the call is redundant. If packets are arriving
from the physical NIC, we've already throttled them by this point. Otherwise,
if they are coming via macvlan_queue_xmit(), it calls either
'dev_forward_skb()', which ends up calling netif_rx_internal(), or else in
the broadcast case, we are throttling via macvlan_broadcast_enqueue().

Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets,
I found strange dst refcount false sharing.
Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal.
Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case
packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y
The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit()
before even taking qdisc lock.
As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some
packet schedulers or classifiers.
This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers
or qdiscs/classifiers.
Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call
following helper in their setup instead of the prior :
dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE;
->
netif_keep_dst(dev);
Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being
eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers.
The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being
rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something
smarter later.

This patch adds a new mode of operation to macvlan, called "source".
It allows one to set a list of allowed mac address, which is used
to match against source mac address from received frames on underlying
interface.
This enables creating mac based VLAN associations, instead of standard
port or tag based. The feature is useful to deploy 802.1x mac based
behavior, where drivers of underlying interfaces doesn't allows that.
Configuration is done through the netlink interface using e.g.:
ip link add link eth0 name macvlan0 type macvlan mode source
ip link add link eth0 name macvlan1 type macvlan mode source
ip link set link dev macvlan0 type macvlan macaddr add 00:11:11:11:11:11
ip link set link dev macvlan0 type macvlan macaddr add 00:22:22:22:22:22
ip link set link dev macvlan0 type macvlan macaddr add 00:33:33:33:33:33
ip link set link dev macvlan1 type macvlan macaddr add 00:33:33:33:33:33
ip link set link dev macvlan1 type macvlan macaddr add 00:44:44:44:44:44
This allows clients with MAC addresses 00:11:11:11:11:11,
00:22:22:22:22:22 to be part of only VLAN associated with macvlan0
interface. Clients with MAC addresses 00:44:44:44:44:44 with only VLAN
associated with macvlan1 interface. And client with MAC address
00:33:33:33:33:33 to be associated with both VLANs.

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).

Additionally the above commit breaks kvm configurations where

In this case, packets leaving virtio device will have CHECKSUM_PARTIAL

turned off. Since we use CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, the host does does not
update the checksum and thus a bad checksum is passed up to

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.

We need a hard irq safe variant to deal with netpoll transmitting
packets from hard irq context, and we need it in most if not all of
the places using the bh safe variant.
Except on 32bit uni-processor the code is exactly the same so don't
bother with a bh variant, just have a hard irq safe variant that
everyone can use.

Conflicts:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/recv.c
drivers/net/wireless/mwifiex/pcie.c
net/ipv6/sit.c
The SIT driver conflict consists of a bug fix being done by hand
in 'net' (missing u64_stats_init()) whilst in 'net-next' a helper
was created (netdev_alloc_pcpu_stats()) which takes care of this.
The two wireless conflicts were overlapping changes.

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
Recv Send Send
Socket Socket Message Elapsed
Size Size Size Time Throughput
bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec
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.

There are many drivers calling alloc_percpu() to allocate pcpu stats
and then initializing ->syncp. So just introduce a helper function for them.
