   3) netem can crash when it sees GSO packets, the fix is to segment
      then upon ->enqueue.  Fix from Neil Horman with help from Eric
      Dumazet.

   4) Fix VXLAN dependencies in mlx5 driver Kconfig, from Matthew
      Finlay.

   5) Handle VXLAN ops outside of rcu lock, via a workqueue, in mlx5,
      since it can sleep.  Fix also from Matthew Finlay.

   6) Check mdiobus_scan() return values properly in pxa168_eth and macb
      drivers.  From Sergei Shtylyov.

   7) If the netdevice doesn't support checksumming, disable
      segmentation.  From Alexandery Duyck.

   8) Fix races between RDS tcp accept and sending, from Sowmini
      Varadhan.

   9) In macb driver, probe MDIO bus before we register the netdev,
      otherwise we can try to open the device before it is really ready
      for that.  Fix from Florian Fainelli.

  10) Netlink attribute size for ILA "tunnels" not calculated properly,
      fix from Nicolas Dichtel"

      ipv6: add new struct ipcm6_cookie · 26879da5
      Wei Wang authored 
      In the sendmsg function of UDP, raw, ICMP and l2tp sockets, we use local
variables like hlimits, tclass, opt and dontfrag and pass them to corresponding
functions like ip6_make_skb, ip6_append_data and xxx_push_pending_frames.
This is not a good practice and makes it hard to add new parameters.
This fix introduces a new struct ipcm6_cookie similar to ipcm_cookie in
ipv4 and include the above mentioned variables. And we only pass the
pointer to this structure to corresponding functions. This makes it easier
to add new parameters in the future and makes the function cleaner.

      net: macb: Probe MDIO bus before registering netdev · cf669660
      Florian Fainelli authored 
      The current sequence makes us register for a network device prior to
registering and probing the MDIO bus which could lead to some unwanted
consequences, like a thread of execution calling into ndo_open before
register_netdev() returns, while the MDIO bus is not ready yet.

Rework the sequence to register for the MDIO bus, and therefore attach
to a PHY prior to calling register_netdev(), which implies reworking the
error path a bit.

====================
RDS: TCP: sychronization during connection startup

This patch series ensures that the passive (accept) side of the
TCP connection used for RDS-TCP is correctly synchronized with
any concurrent active (connect) attempts for a given pair of peers.

Patch 1 in the series makes sure that the t_sock in struct
rds_tcp_connection is only reset after any threads in rds_tcp_xmit
have completed (otherwise a null-ptr deref may be encountered).
Patch 2 synchronizes rds_tcp_accept_one() with the rds_tcp*connect()
path.

      RDS: TCP: Synchronize accept() and connect() paths on t_conn_lock. · bd7c5f98
      Sowmini Varadhan authored 
      An arbitration scheme for duelling SYNs is implemented as part of
commit 241b2719 ("RDS-TCP: Reset tcp callbacks if re-using an
outgoing socket in rds_tcp_accept_one()") which ensures that both nodes
involved will arrive at the same arbitration decision. However, this
needs to be synchronized with an outgoing SYN to be generated by
rds_tcp_conn_connect(). This commit achieves the synchronization
through the t_conn_lock mutex in struct rds_tcp_connection.

The rds_conn_state is checked in rds_tcp_conn_connect() after acquiring
the t_conn_lock mutex.  A SYN is sent out only if the RDS connection is
not already UP (an UP would indicate that rds_tcp_accept_one() has
completed 3WH, so no SYN needs to be generated).

Similarly, the rds_conn_state is checked in rds_tcp_accept_one() after
acquiring the t_conn_lock mutex. The only acceptable states (to
allow continuation of the arbitration logic) are UP (i.e., outgoing SYN
was SYN-ACKed by peer after it sent us the SYN) or CONNECTING (we sent
outgoing SYN before we saw incoming SYN).

      RDS:TCP: Synchronize rds_tcp_accept_one with rds_send_xmit when resetting t_sock · eb192840
      Sowmini Varadhan authored 
      There is a race condition between rds_send_xmit -> rds_tcp_xmit
and the code that deals with resolution of duelling syns added
by commit 241b2719 ("RDS-TCP: Reset tcp callbacks if re-using an
outgoing socket in rds_tcp_accept_one()").

Specifically, we may end up derefencing a null pointer in rds_send_xmit
if we have the interleaving sequence:
           rds_tcp_accept_one                  rds_send_xmit

                                             conn is RDS_CONN_UP, so
    					 invoke rds_tcp_xmit

                                             tc = conn->c_transport_data
        rds_tcp_restore_callbacks
            /* reset t_sock */
    					 null ptr deref from tc->t_sock

The race condition can be avoided without adding the overhead of
additional locking in the xmit path: have rds_tcp_accept_one wait
for rds_tcp_xmit threads to complete before resetting callbacks.
The synchronization can be done in the same manner as rds_conn_shutdown().
First set the rds_conn_state to something other than RDS_CONN_UP
(so that new threads cannot get into rds_tcp_xmit()), then wait for
RDS_IN_XMIT to be cleared in the conn->c_flags indicating that any
threads in rds_tcp_xmit are done.

      Hosts sending lot of ACK packets exhibit high sock_wfree() cost
because of cache line miss to test SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE

We could move this flag close to sk_wmem_alloc but it is better
to perform the atomic_sub_and_test() on a clean cache line,
as it avoid one extra bus transaction.

skb_orphan_partial() can also have a fast track for packets that either
are TCP acks, or already went through another skb_orphan_partial()

====================
Fixes for tunnel checksum and segmentation offloads

This patch series is a subset of patches I had submitted for net-next.  I
plan to drop these two patches from the v3 of "Fix Tunnel features and
enable GSO partial for several drivers" and I am instead submitting them
for net since these are truly fixes and likely will need to be backported
to stable branches.

This series addresses 2 specific issues.  The first is that we could
request TSO on a v4 inner header while not supporting checksum offload of
the outer IPv6 header.  The second is that we could request an IPv6 inner
checksum offload without validating that we could actually support an inner
IPv6 checksum offload.

      vxlan: Add checksum check to the features check function · af67eb9e
      Alexander Duyck authored 
      We need to perform an additional check on the inner headers to determine if
we can offload the checksum for them.  Previously this check didn't occur
so we would generate an invalid frame in the case of an IPv6 header
encapsulated inside of an IPv4 tunnel.  To fix this I added a secondary
check to vxlan_features_check so that we can verify that we can offload the
inner checksum.

tipc: redesign socket-level flow control

overhaul. This series fixes this.

      tipc: redesign connection-level flow control · 10724cc7
      Jon Paul Maloy authored 
      There are two flow control mechanisms in TIPC; one at link level that
handles network congestion, burst control, and retransmission, and one
at connection level which' only remaining task is to prevent overflow
in the receiving socket buffer. In TIPC, the latter task has to be
solved end-to-end because messages can not be thrown away once they
have been accepted and delivered upwards from the link layer, i.e, we
can never permit the receive buffer to overflow.

Currently, this algorithm is message based. A counter in the receiving
socket keeps track of number of consumed messages, and sends a dedicated
acknowledge message back to the sender for each 256 consumed message.
A counter at the sending end keeps track of the sent, not yet
acknowledged messages, and blocks the sender if this number ever reaches
512 unacknowledged messages. When the missing acknowledge arrives, the
socket is then woken up for renewed transmission. This works well for
keeping the message flow running, as it almost never happens that a
sender socket is blocked this way.

A problem with the current mechanism is that it potentially is very
memory consuming. Since we don't distinguish between small and large
messages, we have to dimension the socket receive buffer according
to a worst-case of both. I.e., the window size must be chosen large
enough to sustain a reasonable throughput even for the smallest
messages, while we must still consider a scenario where all messages
are of maximum size. Hence, the current fix window size of 512 messages
and a maximum message size of 66k results in a receive buffer of 66 MB
when truesize(66k) = 131k is taken into account. It is possible to do
much better.

This commit introduces an algorithm where we instead use 1024-byte
blocks as base unit. This unit, always rounded upwards from the
actual message size, is used when we advertise windows as well as when
we count and acknowledge transmitted data. The advertised window is
based on the configured receive buffer size in such a way that even
the worst-case truesize/msgsize ratio always is covered. Since the
smallest possible message size (from a flow control viewpoint) now is
1024 bytes, we can safely assume this ratio to be less than four, which
is the value we are now using.

This way, we have been able to reduce the default receive buffer size
from 66 MB to 2 MB with maintained performance.

In order to keep this solution backwards compatible, we introduce a
new capability bit in the discovery protocol, and use this throughout
the message sending/reception path to always select the right unit.

      tipc: propagate peer node capabilities to socket layer · 60020e18
      Jon Paul Maloy authored 
      During neighbor discovery, nodes advertise their capabilities as a bit
map in a dedicated 16-bit field in the discovery message header. This
bit map has so far only be stored in the node structure on the peer
nodes, but we now see the need to keep a copy even in the socket
structure.

This commit adds this functionality.

      tipc: re-enable compensation for socket receive buffer double counting · 7c8bcfb1
      Jon Paul Maloy authored 
      In the refactoring commit d570d864 ("tipc: enqueue arrived buffers
in socket in separate function") we did by accident replace the test

if (sk->sk_backlog.len == 0)
     atomic_set(&tsk->dupl_rcvcnt, 0);

with

if (sk->sk_backlog.len)
     atomic_set(&tsk->dupl_rcvcnt, 0);

This effectively disables the compensation we have for the double
receive buffer accounting that occurs temporarily when buffers are
moved from the backlog to the socket receive queue. Until now, this
has gone unnoticed because of the large receive buffer limits we are
applying, but becomes indispensable when we reduce this buffer limit
later in this series.

We now fix this by inverting the mentioned condition.
