net: Allow non-fatal messages to be passed in extack

There are many cases where networking subsystems throw non-fatal warning
messages that end up in dmesg / kernel log to which a user making the
change is completely oblivious. This set makes the extack facility
usable for returning such messages.

The case in point here is spectrum and adding FIB rules which causes an
offload abort. Make the use case more user friendly by letting the user
know that offload is no longer happening because of the rule change.

v2
- kept the offload abort in a work queue entry per Ido's comment
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Adding a FIB rule on a spectrum platform silently aborts FIB offload:
    $ ip ru add pref 99 from all to 192.168.1.1 table 10
    $ dmesg -c
    [  623.144736] mlxsw_spectrum 0000:03:00.0: FIB abort triggered. Note that FIB entries are no longer being offloaded to this device.

This patch reworks FIB rule handling to return a message to the user:
    $ ip ru add pref 99 from all to 8.8.8.8 table 11
    Error: spectrum: FIB rules not supported. Aborting offload.

spectrum currently only checks whether the fib rule is a default rule or
an l3mdev rule, both of which it knows how to handle. Any other it aborts
FIB offload. Move the processing to check the rule type inline with the
user request. If the rule is an unsupported one, then a work queue entry
is used to abort the offload. Change the rule delete handling to just
return since it does nothing at the moment.

the verifier got progressively smarter over time and size of its internal
state grew as well. Time to reduce the memory consumption.

Before:
sizeof(struct bpf_verifier_state) = 6520
After:
sizeof(struct bpf_verifier_state) = 896

It's done by observing that majority of BPF programs use little to
no stack whereas verifier kept all of 512 stack slots ready always.
Instead dynamically reallocate struct verifier state when stack
access is detected.
Runtime difference before vs after is within a noise.

liquidio: switchdev support for LiquidIO NIC

patch1 of this patch set adds switchdev support for SRIOV capable
LiquidIO NIC, so that for every SRIOV VF on LiquidIO, a representor
netdev is created on hypervisor. It also has changes to send representor
interface configurations like admin state and MTU to LiquidIO firmware and
to retrieve HW counted VF stats for VF representor.

patch2 adds support for switchdev enable/disable from devlink

Patchset Change Log:
  V2 -> V3:
    * Use mac address as the physical switchID.
    * Check for eswitch_mode before returning switchID

  V1 -> V2:
    * Name the representors "pfXvfY".

mlx5-updates-2017-10-31 mlx5e stats groups

This series from Kamal introduces an important refactoring for mlx5e stats
handling, which groups the stats into generic groups structure which allows
to control the behavior and stats reporting per group in a modular way.

In the first patch Kamal introduces a new data type "mlx5e_stats_grp" This change
defines a new API to create a group of stats and simplifies the way of handling them.
This struct will define the following behavior per group:
    - get_num_stats() - return the number of counters in the group.
    - fill_strings() - fill counters strings within the group.
    - fill_stats() - fill counters values within the group.

All other patches will be straight forward refactoring per stats group,
where Kamal will move each mlx5e stats group to use the new API.

The idea is to have better flexibility and modularity to add new counters,
all ethtool logic was rendered generic and loops through the generic stats groups and
calls the groups callbacks to figure out how and what to report back to user space.

Introducing new file en_stats.c to hold all the new stat groups logic and implementation.
Static structures (counters descriptors) moved from en_stats.h to en_stats.c which reduces
the mlx5_core binary footprint, originally reported and addressed by Stephen Hemminger:
("mlx5: fix space waste from ethtool descriptions") which was waived due to this re-design.

40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-10-31

This series contains updates to i40e, i40evf and net/sched.

Arnd Bergmann cleans up the power management code to resolve a build
warning.

Shannon Nelson fixes i40e to only redistribute our vectors when we did
not get the full count that we requested.

Alex reverts a previous commit because it potentially causes a memory leak
when combined with the current page recycling scheme.

Amritha enables configuring cloud filters in i40e using the tc-flower
classifier.  The classification function of the filter is to match a
packet to a traffic class.  cls_flower is extended to offload classid to
hardware.  Hardware traffic classes are identified using classid values
reserved in the range :ffe0 - :ffef.
The cloud filters are added for a VSI and are cleaned up when the VSI is
deleted. The filters that match on L4 ports needs enhanced admin queue
functions with big buffer support for extended fields in cloud filter
commands.

As part of documentation, supply some very simple test cases
to illustrate how test cases work.  One test case shows
commands in the setup, command, verify and teardown stages.
Other test cases show how to have a working test case that
does not have commands in the setup, verify and/or teardown
stages.

Specifically, the command lists for setup and teardown can
be empty.  And the verify command must have a command, but
it can be /bin/true.  The regex must have a string, we
recommend a single space, and the count of matches must be
zero if you do not want to use the match feature of verify.
Verify will always look for a return code of success (0)
so we give /bin/true when we do not want to make a check
there.

Also, update the documentation for testcases to be more
specific in the cases of:

    - accepting non-success return codes in setup and
      teardown stages
    - how to write the test when no setup, teardown
      and/or verify are desired.

To run the example test cases:

    $ sudo -E ./tdc.py -f creating-testcases/example.json -l
    1f: (example) simple test to test framework
    2f: (example) simple test, no need for verify
    3f: (example) simple test, no need for setup or teardown (or verify)
    $ sudo -E ./tdc.py -f creating-testcases/example.json
    Test 1f: simple test to test framework
    Test 2f: simple test, no need for verify
    Test 3f: simple test, no need for setup or teardown (or verify)
    All test results:

    1..3
    ok 1 1f simple test to test framework
    ok 2 2f simple test, no need for verify
    ok 3 3f simple test, no need for setup or teardown (or verify)
