Eric Dumazet c3b89fbba3 ipip: add GSO support
In commit 6b78f16e4b (gre: add GSO support) we added GSO support to GRE
tunnels.

This patch does the same for IPIP tunnels.

Performance of single TCP flow over an IPIP tunnel is increased by 40%

Steve Glendinning 9532021da6 usbnet: ratelimit kevent may have been dropped warnings
when something goes wrong, a flood of these messages can be
generated by usbnet (thousands per second).  This doesn't
generally *help* the condition so this patch ratelimits the
rate of their generation.

There's an underlying problem in usbnet's kevent deferral
mechanism which needs fixing, specifically that events *can*
get dropped and not handled.  This patch doesn't address this,
but just mitigates fallout caused by the current implemention.

Daniel Borkmann d1ee40f960 doc: packet_mmap: update doc to implementation status
This improves the packet_mmap.txt document in the following ways:

 * Add initial information about different TPACKET versions
 * Add initial information about packet fanout
 * Add pointer to BPF document (since this also could be of interest)
 * 'Fix' minor, rather cosmetic things

Information partially taken from related commit messages.

Lee Jones 7fd78edc47 isdn: Make CONFIG_ISDN depend on CONFIG_NETDEVICES
It doesn't make much sense to enable ISDN services if you don't
intend to connect to a network. Therefore insisting that ISDN
depends on NETDEVICES seems logical. We can then remove any
guards mentioning NETDEVICES inside all subordinate drivers.

This also has the nice side-effect of fixing the warning below
when ISDN_I4L && !CONFIG_NETDEVICES at compile time.

Eric Leblond a3d744e995 af-packet: fix oops when socket is not present
Due to a NULL dereference, the following patch is causing oops

Author: Eric Leblond <eric@regit.org>

    af_packet: don't emit packet on orig fanout group

This buggy patch was a feature fix and has reached most stable
branches.

When skb->sk is NULL and when packet fanout is used, there is a
crash in match_fanout_group where skb->sk is accessed.
This patch fixes the issue by returning false as soon as the
socket is NULL: this correspond to the wanted behavior because
the kernel as to resend the skb to all the listening socket in
this case.

Paolo Valente 3015f3d2a3 pkt_sched: enable QFQ to support TSO/GSO
If the max packet size for some class (configured through tc) is
violated by the actual size of the packets of that class, then QFQ
would not schedule classes correctly, and the data structures
implementing the bucket lists may get corrupted. This problem occurs
with TSO/GSO even if the max packet size is set to the MTU, and is,
e.g., the cause of the failure reported in [1]. Two patches have been
proposed to solve this problem in [2], one of them is a preliminary
version of this patch.

This patch addresses the above issues by: 1) setting QFQ parameters to
proper values for supporting TSO/GSO (in particular, setting the
maximum possible packet size to 64KB), 2) automatically increasing the
max packet size for a class, lmax, when a packet with a larger size
than the current value of lmax arrives.

The drawback of the first point is that the maximum weight for a class
is now limited to 4096, which is equal to 1/16 of the maximum weight
sum.

Finally, this patch also forcibly caps the timestamps of a class if
they are too high to be stored in the bucket list. This capping, taken
from QFQ+ [3], handles the unfrequent case described in the comment to
the function slot_insert.

Eric Dumazet ecfd2ce1a9 mlx4: change TX coalescing defaults
mlx4 currently uses a too high tx coalescing setting, deferring
TX completion interrupts by up to 128 us.

With the recent skb_orphan() removal in commit 8112ec3b87,
performance of a single TCP flow is capped to ~4 Gbps, unless
we increase tcp_limit_output_bytes.

I suggest using 16 us instead of 128 us, allowing a finer control.

Performance of a single TCP flow is restored to previous levels,
while keeping TCP small queues fully enabled with default sysctl.

This patch is also a BQL prereq.

Antonio Quartulli 9affec6be8 batman-adv: enable fast client detection using unicast_4addr packets
The "early client detection mechanism" can be extended to find new clients by
means of unicast_4addr packets.

The unicast_4addr packet contains as well as the broadcast packet (which is
currently used in this mechanism) the address of the originating node and can
therefore be used to install new entries in the Global Translation Table

Antonio Quartulli 1722447482 batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - add compile option
This patch makes it possible to decide whether to include DAT within the
batman-adv binary or not.
It is extremely useful when the user wants to reduce the size of the resulting
module by cutting off any not needed feature.

Antonio Quartulli c384ea3ec9 batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - add snooping functions for ARP messages
In case of an ARP message going in or out the soft_iface, it is intercepted and
a special action is performed. In particular the DHT helper functions previously
implemented are used to store all the ARP entries belonging to the network in
order to provide a fast and unicast lookup instead of the classic broadcast
flooding mechanism.
Each node stores the entries it is responsible for (following the DHT rules) in
its soft_iface ARP table. This makes it possible to reuse the kernel data
structures and functions for ARP management.
