====================
Fix support for macvlan devices on top bonding

Currently, macvlan devices do not work well over bond interfaces.
Everything works well, untill a failover is triggered in the bond
device and then macvlan becomes unreachble untill arp entries
are flushed.   This series adds needed functionality to
handle correct notifications and update switches with mac addresses
assigned to macvlans.

The first patch simply addes IFF_UNICAST_FLT flag to bonds since they
already correctly manage the unicast filter list of the slaves, so
we might as well prevent the bond from needlessly going into promiscuous
mode.

The second patch adds notifier handler to macvlan to trigger correct
ARP notifications.

The third patch adds handling for TLB and RLB modes that use special
ETH_P_LOOPBACK type packets to teach switch about mac addresses.
It also allow ARPs for the macvlan mac addresses to be handled by
RLB mode.

      bonding: Support macvlans on top of tlb/rlb mode bonds · 14af9963
      Vlad Yasevich authored 
      To make TLB mode work, the patch allows learning packets
to be sent using mac addresses assigned to macvlan devices,
also taking into an account vlans that may be between the
bond and macvlan device.

To make RLB work, all we have to do is accept ARP packets
for addresses added to the bond dev->uc list.  Since RLB
mode will take care to update the peers directly with
correct mac addresses, learning packets for these addresses
do not have be send to switch.

      macvlan: Support bonding events · 4c991255
      Vlad Yasevich authored 
      Bonding and team drivers generate specific events during failover
that trigger switch updates.  When a macvlan device is configured
on top of bonding, we want switches to learn about the macvlan
devices as well.   This patch adds a handler to macvlan driver to
propagate these events to all macvlan devices.  We let the generic
inetdev event handler do the work.

This allows macvlan to operated correctly over active-backup
mode bond.

      bonding: Turn on IFF_UNICAST_FLT on bond devices · c565b488
      Vlad Yasevich authored 
      Bonding devices manage the unicast filters of the underlying
interfaces, but do not turn on IFF_UNICAST_FLT flag.  Thus
anytime a unicast address is added to the bond, the bond is
places in promiscuous mode.

Turn on IFF_UNICAST_FLT on the bond device so that the bond does
not go into promiscuous mode needlesly.  If an underlying device
does not support unicast filtering, that device will automaticall
enter promiscuous mode already.

      net: Revert "fib_trie: use seq_file_net rather than seq->private" · f830b022
      Sasha Levin authored 
      This reverts commit 30f38d2f.

fib_triestat is surrounded by a big lie: while it claims that it's a
seq_file (fib_triestat_seq_open, fib_triestat_seq_show), it isn't:

	static const struct file_operations fib_triestat_fops = {
	        .owner  = THIS_MODULE,
	        .open   = fib_triestat_seq_open,
	        .read   = seq_read,
	        .llseek = seq_lseek,
	        .release = single_release_net,
	};

Yes, fib_triestat is just a regular file.

A small detail (assuming CONFIG_NET_NS=y) is that while for seq_files
you could do seq_file_net() to get the net ptr, doing so for a regular
file would be wrong and would dereference an invalid pointer.

The fib_triestat lie claimed a victim, and trying to show the file would
be bad for the kernel. This patch just reverts the issue and fixes
fib_triestat, which still needs a rewrite to either be a seq_file or
stop claiming it is.

      Merge branch 'xen-netback-netfront-multiqueue' · 9ab89acc
      David S. Miller authored 
      Wei Liu says:

====================
This is rebased version of Andrew's V8 patch series. The original cover letter:

--------------------
xen-net{back,	front}: Multiple transmit and receive queues

This patch series implements multiple transmit and receive queues (i.e.
multiple shared rings) for the xen virtual network interfaces.

The series is split up as follows:
 - Patch 1 brings the 'grant_copy_op' array back into struct xenvif, in
   preparation for multi-queue support. See the patch itself for more details.
- Patches 2 and 4 factor out the queue-specific data for netback and
  netfront respectively, and modify the rest of the code to use these
  as appropriate.
- Patches 3 and 5 introduce new XenStore keys to negotiate and use
  multiple shared rings and event channels, and code to connect these
  as appropriate.
- Patch 6 documents the XenStore keys required for the new feature
  in include/xen/interface/io/netif.h

All other transmit and receive processing remains unchanged, i.e. there
is a kthread per queue and a NAPI context per queue.

The performance of these patches has been analysed in detail, with
results available at:

http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen-netback_and_xen-netfront_multi-queue_performance_testing

To summarise:
  * Using multiple queues allows a VM to transmit at line rate on a 10
    Gbit/s NIC, compared with a maximum aggregate throughput of 6 Gbit/s
    with a single queue.
  * For intra-host VM--VM traffic, eight queues provide 171% of the
    throughput of a single queue; almost 12 Gbit/s instead of 6 Gbit/s.
  * There is a corresponding increase in total CPU usage, i.e. this is a
    scaling out over available resources, not an efficiency improvement.
  * Results depend on the availability of sufficient CPUs, as well as the
    distribution of interrupts and the distribution of TCP streams across
    the queues.

Queue selection is currently achieved via an L4 hash on the packet (i.e.
TCP src/dst port, IP src/dst address) and is not negotiated between the
frontend and backend, since only one option exists. Future patches to
support other frontends (particularly Windows) will need to add some
capability to negotiate not only the hash algorithm selection, but also
allow the frontend to specify some parameters to this.

Note that queue selection is a decision by the transmitting system about
which queue to use for a particular packet. In general, the algorithm
may differ between the frontend and the backend with no adverse effects.

Queue-specific XenStore entries for ring references and event channels
are stored hierarchically, i.e. under .../queue-N/... where N varies
from 0 to one less than the requested number of queues (inclusive). If
only one queue is requested, it falls back to the flat structure where
the ring references and event channels are written at the same level as
other vif information.

V8:
- Squash the queue error handling code into patch 3.
- Update the documentation (patch 6) according to comments on the
  equivalent patch to Xen.

V7:
- Rebase on latest net-next, which includes the netback grant mapping
  patch series from Zoltan Kiss
- Reduce QUEUE_NAME_SIZE by 1 to avoid double-counting the trailing '\0'
- Simplify the queue hashing by using (hash % num_queues) instead of
  multiply & shift.
- Add ratelimited warning for invalid queue selection.
- Fix error handling to correctly tear down already setup queues.
- Use dev->real_num_tx_queues instead of separately maintaining a
  count of the number of queues.

V6:
- Use 'max_queues' as the module param. name for both netback and netfront.

V5:
- Fix bug in xenvif_free() that could lead to an attempt to transmit an
  skb after the queue structures had been freed.
- Improve the XenStore protocol documentation in netif.h.
- Fix IRQ_NAME_SIZE double-accounting for null terminator.
- Move rx_gso_checksum_fixup stat into struct xenvif_stats (per-queue).
- Don't initialise a local variable that is set in both branches (xspath).

V4:
- Add MODULE_PARM_DESC() for the multi-queue parameters for netback
  and netfront modules.
- Move del_timer_sync() in netfront to after unregister_netdev, which
  restores the order in which these functions were called before applying
  these patches.

V3:
- Further indentation and style fixups.

V2:
- Rebase onto net-next.
- Change queue->number to queue->id.
- Add atomic operations around the small number of stats variables that
  are not queue-specific or per-cpu.
- Fixup formatting and style issues.
- XenStore protocol changes documented in netif.h.
- Default max. number of queues to num_online_cpus().
- Check requested number of queues does not exceed maximum.
--------------------

I rebased this on top of net-next. No functional change is introduced.  The
patch that needed some extra care was "xen-netback: Factor queue-specific data
into queue struct" because it clashed with a fix introduced in net. A simple
test of creating guest, iperf, then shutting down guest worked as expected.

The last patch fixes a minor problem that queue name is not initialised in
xen-netfront, resulting in names like "-tx" "-rx" in /proc/interrupt.

Changes since v9 (no functional change introduced):
* include commit summary in the commit message of first patch
* fold David Vrabel's Reviewed-by into last patch

Ring references and event channels are read from XenStore on a per-queue

      xen-netback: Move grant_copy_op array back into struct xenvif. · a55d9766
      Andrew J. Bennieston authored 
      This array was allocated separately in commit ac3d5ac2 ("xen-netback:

struct xenvif is allocated as the netdev_priv part of a struct
net_device, i.e. via kmalloc() but falling back to vmalloc() if the
initial alloc. fails.

In preparation for the multi-queue patches, where this array becomes
part of struct xenvif_queue and is always allocated through vzalloc(),
move this back into the struct xenvif.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates

This series contains updates to e1000, igb and ixgbe.

Emil provides his version 2 fix for the detection of SFP+ capable interfaces.
In cases where the driver is loaded while there are no SFP+ modules in cage,
the interface was not being detected as SFP capable.  Resolve the issue by
identifying interfaces with no PHY type set as SFP capable which allows the
driver to detect the SFP module when the interface is brought up.  In this
version 2 of the patch, the 82599 specific check was removed since we only
have 82598 devices that are SFP capable.

Jacob removes the including of the export header in the ixgbe PTP core, since
it is not needed.  Renames igb_ptp_enable() to igb_ptp_feature_enable() to
better reflect the actual functions purpose.

Todd fixes the ethtool loopback test for i354 backplane devices since we
do not know what PHY is to be used for the devices, use MAC loopback for
ethtool tests.  Todd also sets the packet buffer size register defaults for
i210 devices.

Yongjian Xu removes the check for skb->len being negative or zero since there
is never a case where it would be zero or negative for e1000.

Manuel Schölling updates e1000 to use the time_after() helper function.

v2: Fix indentation on wrapped line in patch 3 of the series based on
    feedback from David Miller
