      net: Add and use skb_copy_datagram_msg() helper. · 51f3d02b
      David S. Miller authored
      This encapsulates all of the skb_copy_datagram_iovec() callers
      with call argument signature "skb, offset, msghdr->msg_iov, length".
      
      When we move to iov_iters in the networking, the iov_iter object will
      sit in the msghdr.
      
      Having a helper like this means there will be less places to touch
      during that transformation.
      
      Based upon descriptions and patch from Al Viro.

      ====================
      gue: Remote checksum offload
      
      This patch set implements remote checksum offload for
      GUE, which is a mechanism that provides checksum offload of
      encapsulated packets using rudimentary offload capabilities found in
      most Network Interface Card (NIC) devices. The outer header checksum
      for UDP is enabled in packets and, with some additional meta
      information in the GUE header, a receiver is able to deduce the
      checksum to be set for an inner encapsulated packet. Effectively this
      offloads the computation of the inner checksum. Enabling the outer
      checksum in encapsulation has the additional advantage that it covers
      more of the packet than the inner checksum including the encapsulation
      headers.
      
      Remote checksum offload is described in:
      http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-remotecsumoffload-01
      
      The GUE transmit and receive paths are modified to support the
      remote checksum offload option. The option contains a checksum
      offset and checksum start which are directly derived from values
      set in stack when doing CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. On receipt of the option, the
      operation is to calculate the packet checksum from "start" to end of
      the packet (normally derived for checksum complete), and then set
      the resultant value at checksum "offset" (the checksum field has
      already been primed with the pseudo header). This emulates a NIC
      that implements NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.
      
      The primary purpose of this feature is to eliminate cost of performing
      checksum calculation over a packet when encpasulating.
      
      In this patch set:
        - Move fou_build_header into fou.c and split it into a couple of
          functions
        - Enable offloading of outer UDP checksum in encapsulation
        - Change udp_offload to support remote checksum offload, includes
          new GSO type and ensuring encapsulated layers (TCP) doesn't try to
          set a checksum covered by RCO
        - TX support for RCO with GUE. This is configured through ip_tunnel
          and set the option on transmit when packet being encapsulated is
          CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
        - RX support for RCO with GUE for normal and GRO paths. Includes
          resolving the offloaded checksum
      
      v2:
        Address comments from davem: Move accounting for private option
        field in gue_encap_hlen to patch in which we add the remote checksum
        offload option.
      
      Testing:
      
      I ran performance numbers using netperf TCP_STREAM and TCP_RR with 200
      streams, comparing GUE with and without remote checksum offload (doing
      checksum-unnecessary to complete conversion in both cases). These
      were run on mlnx4 and bnx2x. Some mlnx4 results are below.

              2.08063e+06 tps
      
      We can also look at CPU time in csum_partial using perf (with bnx2x
      setup). For GRE with TCP_STREAM I see:
      
          With remote checksum offload
              0.33% TX
              1.81% RX
          Without remote checksum offload
              6.00% TX
              0.51% RX
      
      I suspect the fact that time in csum_partial noticably increases
      with remote checksum offload for RX is due to taking the cache miss on
      the encapsulated header in that function. By similar reasoning, if on
      the TX side the packet were not in cache (say we did a splice from a
      file whose data was never touched by the CPU) the CPU savings for TX
      would probably be more pronounced.

      net: Move fou_build_header into fou.c and refactor · 63487bab
      Tom Herbert authored
      Move fou_build_header out of ip_tunnel.c and into fou.c splitting
      it up into fou_build_header, gue_build_header, and fou_build_udp.
      This allows for other users for TX of FOU or GUE. Change ip_tunnel_encap
      to call fou_build_header or gue_build_header based on the tunnel
      encapsulation type. Similarly, added fou_encap_hlen and gue_encap_hlen
      functions which are called by ip_encap_hlen. New net/fou.h has
      prototypes and defines for this.
      
      Added NET_FOU_IP_TUNNELS configuration. When this is set, IP tunnels
      can use FOU/GUE and fou module is also selected.

      ====================
      stmmac: review driver Koptions
      
      Recently many Koption options have been added to have new glue logic on several
      platforms.
      
      The main goal behind this work is to guarantee that the driver built
      fine on all the branches where it is present independently of which
      glue logic is selected.
      
      IMHO, it is better to remove all the not necessary Koption(s) that can hide
      build problems when something changes in the driver and especially when
      the DT compatibility allows us to manage all the platform data.
      
      I compiled the driver w/o any issue on net-next Git for:
      
        x86, arm and sh4.
      
      In case of there are build problems on some repos now it will be
      easy to catch them and cherry-pick patches from mainstream.
      
      For sure, do not hesitate to contact me in case of issue.
      
      Also this set removes STMMAC_DEBUG_FS and BUS_MODE_DA. The latter is useless
      and the former can be replaced by DEBUG_FS (always to make safe the build).

      This is a very old and often unused option to configure
      a bit in a register inside the DMA. This support should
