ipv6: Add lockless UDP send path

This series introduces a lockless UDPv6 send path similar to
what Herbert Xu did for IPv4 a while ago.

There are some difference from IPv4.  IPv6 caching for flow
label is a bit different, as well as it requires another cork
cork structure that holds the IPv6 ancillary data.

Please take a look.

Currntly, if we are not doing UFO on the packet, all UDP
packets will start with CHECKSUM_NONE and thus perform full
checksum computations in software even if device support
IPv6 checksum offloading.

Let's start start with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL if the device
supports it and we are sending only a single packet at
or below mtu size.

One deployment requirement of DCTCP is to be able to run
in a DC setting along with TCP traffic. As Glenn Judd's
NSDI'15 paper "Attaining the Promise and Avoiding the Pitfalls
of TCP in the Datacenter" [1] (tba) explains, one way to
solve this on switch side is to split DCTCP and TCP traffic
in two queues per switch port based on the DSCP: one queue
soley intended for DCTCP traffic and one for non-DCTCP traffic.

For the DCTCP queue, there's the marking threshold K as
explained in commit e3118e83 ("net: tcp: add DCTCP congestion
control algorithm") for RED marking ECT(0) packets with CE.
For the non-DCTCP queue, there's f.e. a classic tail drop queue.
As already explained in e3118e83, running DCTCP at scale
when not marking SYN/SYN-ACK packets with ECT(0) has severe
consequences as for non-ECT(0) packets, traversing the RED
marking DCTCP queue will result in a severe reduction of
connection probability.

This is due to the DCTCP queue being dominated by ECT(0) traffic
and switches handle non-ECT traffic in the RED marking queue
after passing K as drops, where K is usually a low watermark
in order to leave enough tailroom for bursts. Splitting DCTCP
traffic among several queues (ECN and non-ECN queue) is being
considered a terrible idea in the network community as it
splits single flows across multiple network paths.

Therefore, commit e3118e83 implements this on Linux as
ECT(0) marked traffic, as we argue that marking all packets
of a DCTCP flow is the only viable solution and also doesn't
speak against the draft.

However, recently, a DCTCP implementation for FreeBSD hit also
their mainline kernel [2]. In order to let them play well
together with Linux' DCTCP, we would need to loosen the
requirement that ECT(0) has to be asserted during the 3WHS as
not implemented in FreeBSD. This simplifies the ECN test and
lets DCTCP work together with FreeBSD.

net-timestamp: blinding

Changes
  (v2 -> v3)
  - rebase only: v2 did not make it to patchwork / netdev
  (v1 -> v2)
  - fix capability check in patch 2
      this could be moved into net/core/sock.c as sk_capable_nouser()
  (rfc -> v1)
  - dropped patch 4: timestamp batching
      due to complexity, as discussed
  - dropped patch 5: default mode
      because it does not really cover all use cases, as discussed
  - added documentation
  - minor fix, see patch 2

Two issues were raised during recent timestamping discussions:
1. looping full packets on the error queue exposes packet headers
2. TCP timestamping with retransmissions generates many timestamps

This RFC patchset is an attempt at addressing both without breaking
legacy behavior.

Patch 1 reintroduces the "no payload" timestamp option, which loops
timestamps onto an empty skb. This reduces the pressure on SO_RCVBUF
from looping many timestamps. It does not reduce the number of recv()
calls needed to process them. The timestamp cookie mechanism developed
in http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/427213/ did, but this is
considerably simpler.

Patch 2 then gives administrators the power to block all timestamp
requests that contain data by unprivileged users. I proposed this
earlier as a backward compatible workaround in the discussion of

  net-timestamp: pull headers for SOCK_STREAM
  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/414810/

Patch 3 only updates the txtimestamp example to test this option.
Verified that with option '-n', length is zero in all cases and
option '-I' (PKTINFO) stops working.

Tx timestamps are looped onto the error queue on top of an skb. This
mechanism leaks packet headers to processes unless the no-payload
options SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY is set.

Add a sysctl that optionally drops looped timestamp with data. This
only affects processes without CAP_NET_RAW.

The policy is checked when timestamps are generated in the stack.
It is possible for timestamps with data to be reported after the
sysctl is set, if these were queued internally earlier.

No vulnerability is immediately known that exploits knowledge
gleaned from packet headers, but it may still be preferable to allow
administrators to lock down this path at the cost of possible
breakage of legacy applications.

====================
switchdev offload flags

This patch series introduces new offload flags for switchdev.
Kernel network subsystems can use this flag to accelerate
network functions by offloading to hw.

I expect that there will be need for subsystem specific feature
flag in the future.

This patch series currently only addresses bridge driver link
attribute offloads to hardware.

Looking at the current state of bridge l2 offload in the kernel,
    - flag 'self' is the way to directly manage the bridge device in hw via
      the ndo_bridge_setlink/ndo_bridge_getlink calls

    - flag 'master' is always used to manage the in kernel bridge devices
      via the same ndo_bridge_setlink/ndo_bridge_getlink calls

Today these are used separately. The nic offloads use hwmode "vepa/veb" to go
directly to hw with the "self" flag.

At this point i am trying not to introduce any new user facing flags/attributes.
In the model where we want the kernel bridging to be accelerated with
hardware, we very much want the bridge driver to be involved.

In this proposal,
- The offload flag/bit helps switch asic drivers to indicate that they
  accelerate the kernel networking objects/functions
- The user does not have to specify a new flag to do so. A bridge created with
  switch asic ports will be accelerated if the switch driver supports it.
- The user can continue to directly manage l2 in nics (ixgbe) using the
  existing hwmode/self flags
- It also does not stop users from using the 'self' flag to talk to the
  switch asic driver directly
- Involving the bridge driver makes sure the add/del notifications to user
  space go out after both kernel and hardware are programmed

(To selectively offload bridge port attributes,
example learning in hw only etc, we can introduce offload bits for
per bridge port flag attribute as in my previous patch
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/413211/. I have not included that in this
series)

v2
   - try a different name for the offload flag/bit
   - tries to solve the stacked netdev case by traversing the lowerdev
     list to reach the switch port

v3 -
    - Tested with bond as bridge port for the stacked device case.
      Includes a bond_fix_features change to not ignore the
      NETIF_F_HW_NETFUNC_OFFLOAD flag
    - Some checkpatch fixes

v4 -
    - rename flag to NETIF_F_HW_SWITCH_OFFLOAD
    - add ndo_bridge_setlink/dellink handlers in bond and team drivers as
      suggested by jiri.
    - introduce default ndo_dflt_netdev_switch_port_bridge_setlink/dellink
    handlers that masters can use to call offload api on lowerdevs.

This patch adds support to set/del bridge port attributes in hardware from
the bridge driver.

With this, when the user sends a bridge setlink message with no flags or
master flags set,
   - the bridge driver ndo_bridge_setlink handler sets settings in the kernel
   - calls the swicthdev api to propagate the attrs to the switchdev
	hardware

   You can still use the self flag to go to the switch hw or switch port
   driver directly.

With this, it also makes sure a notification goes out only after the
attributes are set both in the kernel and hw.

The patch calls switchdev api only if BRIDGE_FLAGS_SELF is not set.
This is because the offload cases with BRIDGE_FLAGS_SELF are handled in
the caller (in rtnetlink.c).

The serial_table is used to map the minor number of the usb serial device
to its associated context. The table is updated in the probe method and
in hso_serial_ref_free() which is called either from the tty cleanup
method or from the usb disconnect method.
This patch ensures that the serial_table is updated in the disconnect
method and no more from the cleanup method to avoid the following
potential race condition.

 - hso_disconnect() is called for usb interface "x". Because the serial
   port was open and because the cleanup method of the tty_port hasn't
   been called yet, hso_serial_ref_free() is not run.
 - hso_probe() is called and fails for a new hso serial usb interface
   "y". The function hso_free_interface() is called and iterates
   over the element of serial_table to find the device associated to
   the usb interface context.
   If the usb interface context of usb interface "y" has been created
   at the same place as for usb interface "x", then the cleanup
   functions are called for usb interfaces "x" and "y" and
   hso_serial_ref_free() is called for both interfaces.
 - release_tty() is called for serial port linked to usb interface "x"
   and possibly crash because the tty_port structure contained in the
   hso_device structure has been freed.

The function hso_serial_common_free() is called either by the cleanup

and the sysfs group associated to the device has been removed.
By calling tty_unregister directly from the usb_disconnect() method,
we avoid a warning due to the removal of the sysfs group of the usb
device.

When the device disappear, the function hso_disconnect() is called to
perform cleanup. In the cleanup function, hso_free_interface() calls
tty_port_tty_hangup() in view of scheduling a work to hang up the tty if
needed. If the port was not open then hso_serial_ref_free() is called
directly to cleanup everything. Otherwise, hso_serial_ref_free() is called
when the last fd associated to the port is closed.

For each open port, tty_release() will call the close method,
hso_serial_close(), which drops the last kref and call
hso_serial_ref_free() which unregisters, destroys the tty port
and finally frees the structure in which the tty_port structure
is included. Later, in tty_release(), more precisely when release_tty()
is called, the tty_port previously freed is accessed to cancel
the tty buf workqueue and it leads to a crash.

In view of avoiding this crash, we add a cleanup method that is called
at the end of the hangup process and we drop the last kref in this
function when all the ports have been closed, when tty_port is no
more needed and when it is safe to free the structure containing the
tty_port structure.

netcp_ethss as dynamic modules. This is needed to support arm allmodconfig.
This also requires exporting of API calls provided by netcp_core so that
both the above can be dynamic modules.
