This patch fixes a corner case issue with the PF/VF mailbox code.
Currently, fm10k_mbx_reset_work clears various state about the mailbox.
However, it does not clear the Tx FIFO head/tail pointers. We can't
simply clear these pointers as we unintentionally drop untransmitted
messages without error.

Doing nothing results in a possible phantom re-transmission of messages,
since we leave tx.head and tx.tail intact, but clear the tx_pulled and
tail_len values. This means that the PF could continuously re-send a
message which triggers a reset in the VF. Upon reset, the VF will
re-receive the same message after a reconnect.

If we reset the tx.head and tx.tail pointers completely, we end up
dropping some messages that were pending before connect. This results in
missing LPORT_MSG_READY bits, and VFs will end up reporting no link.

However, we can resolve both issues by simply incrementing head to
account for the already transmitted messages, before we reset tx_pulled.
We do this via the same logic as fm10k_mbx_head_pull.

We account for the tail_len which includes all data not yet transmitted,
once we account for the acked data which means re-reading the HEAD
variable from the message header. Then, we drop messages until we've
dropped more than the new tx_pulled value. At this point, resetting
tail_len and tx_pulled, but not tx.head and tx.tail will result in
prevention of the phantom message. It also prevents us from dropping
untransmitted messages upon attempting to Tx into a connect or
disconnect header.

====================
Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for your net-next tree
in this 4.4 development cycle, they are:

1) Schedule ICMP traffic to IPVS instances, this introduces a new schedule_icmp
   proc knob to enable/disable it. By default is off to retain the old
   behaviour. Patchset from Alex Gartrell.

I'm also including what Alex originally said for the record:

"The configuration of ipvs at Facebook is relatively straightforward.  All
ipvs instances bgp advertise a set of VIPs and the network prefers the
nearest one or uses ECMP in the event of a tie.  For the uninitiated, ECMP
deterministically and statelessly load balances by hashing the packet
(usually a 5-tuple of protocol, saddr, daddr, sport, and dport) and using
that number as an index (basic hash table type logic).

The problem is that ICMP packets (which contain really important
information like whether or not an MTU has been exceeded) will get a
different hash value and may end up at a different ipvs instance.  With no
information about where to route these packets, they are dropped, creating
ICMP black holes and breaking Path MTU discovery.  Suddenly, my mom's
pictures can't load and I'm fielding midday calls that I want nothing to do
with.

To address this, this patch set introduces the ability to schedule icmp
packets which is gated by a sysctl net.ipv4.vs.schedule_icmp.  If set to 0,
the old behavior is maintained -- otherwise ICMP packets are scheduled."

2) Add another proc entry to ignore tunneled packets to avoid routing loops
   from IPVS, also from Alex.

3) Fifteen patches from Eric Biederman to:

* Stop passing nf_hook_ops as parameter to the hook and use the state hook
  object instead all around the netfilter code, so only the private data
  pointer is passed to the registered hook function.

* Now that we've got state->net, propagate the netns pointer to netfilter hook
  clients to avoid its computation over and over again. A good example of how
  this has been simplified is the former TEE target (now nf_dup infrastructure)
  since it has killed the ugly pick_net() function.

There's another round of netns updates from Eric Biederman making the line. To
avoid the patchbomb again to almost all the networking mailing list (that is 84
patches) I'd suggest we send you a pull request with no patches or let me know
if you prefer a better way.

This patch makes TLP to use 1 sec timer by default when RTT is
not available due to SYN/ACK retransmission or SYN cookies.

Prior to this change, the lack of RTT prevents TLP so the first
data packets sent can only be recovered by fast recovery or RTO.
If the fast recovery fails to trigger the RTO is 3 second when
SYN/ACK is retransmitted. With this patch we can trigger fast
recovery in 1sec instead.

Note that we need to check Fast Open more properly. A Fast Open
connection could be (accepted then) closed before it receives
the final ACK of 3WHS so the state is FIN_WAIT_1. Without the
new check, TLP will retransmit FIN instead of SYN/ACK.

Currently SYN/ACK RTT is measured in jiffies. For LAN the SYN/ACK
RTT is often measured as 0ms or sometimes 1ms, which would affect
RTT estimation and min RTT samping used by some congestion control.

This patch improves SYN/ACK RTT to be usec resolution if platform
supports it. While the timestamping of SYN/ACK is done in request
sock, the RTT measurement is carefully arranged to avoid storing
another u64 timestamp in tcp_sock.

For regular handshake w/o SYNACK retransmission, the RTT is sampled
right after the child socket is created and right before the request
sock is released (tcp_check_req() in tcp_minisocks.c)

For Fast Open the child socket is already created when SYN/ACK was
sent, the RTT is sampled in tcp_rcv_state_process() after processing
the final ACK an right before the request socket is released.

If the SYN/ACK was retransmistted or SYN-cookie was used, we rely
on TCP timestamps to measure the RTT. The sample is taken at the
same place in tcp_rcv_state_process() after the timestamp values
are validated in tcp_validate_incoming(). Note that we do not store
TS echo value in request_sock for SYN-cookies, because the value
is already stored in tp->rx_opt used by tcp_ack_update_rtt().

One side benefit is that the RTT measurement now happens before
initializing congestion control (of the passive side). Therefore
the congestion control can use the SYN/ACK RTT.

Checksum offloading for send and receive is already

This patch moves the hardware checksum offloading setup
to the set of common functions in qeth_core_main.c.
Layer 2 and layer 3 now simply call the same common functions.

Also note that TX checksum offloading is always enabled.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-09-17

This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf.

Shannon provides updates to i40e and i40evf to resolve an issue with the
nvmupdate utility.  First renames a variable name to reduce confusion and
to differentiate it from the actual user variable.  Then added the ability
to save the admin queue write back descriptor if a caller supplies a
buffer for it to be saved into.  Added a new GetStatus command so that
the NVM update tool can query the current status instead of doing fake
write requests to probe for readiness.  Added wait states to the NVM
update state machine to signify when waiting for an update operation to
finish, whether we are in the middle of a set of write operations, or we
are now idle but waiting.  Then added a facility to run admin queue
commands through the NVM update utility in order to allow the update
tools to interact with the firmware and do special commands needed for
updates and configuration changes.  Also added a facility to recover the
result of a previously run admin queue command.

The Hisilicon Network Subsystem is a long term evolution IP which is
supposed to be used in Hisilicon ICT SoC. The IP, which is called hns
for short, is a TCP/IP acceleration engine, which can directly decode
TCP/IP stream and distribute them to different ring buffers.

HNS can be configured to work on different mode for different scenario.
This patch make use only some of the mode to make it as standard
ethernet NIC. The other mode will be added soon.

The whole function has 4 kernel sub-modules:

hnae: the HNS acceleration engine framework. It provides a abstract
interface between the engine and the upper layers which make use of the
engine by ring buffer.

hns_enet_drv: a standard ethernet driver that base on the ring buffer.

hns_dsaf: one of the implementation of HNS acceleration engine, which is
