Fix differences between IPv4 and IPv6 TCP/UDP checksum calculation

This patch series is meant to address the differences that exist between
IPv4 and IPv6 in terms of checksum calculation.  Specifically the IPv6
function csum_ipv6_magic treated length as a value that could be greater
than 64K, while csum_tcpudp_magic was truncating the length at 16 bits.
After looking over the code and giving it some thought I decided it would
be best to update the IPv4 function so that it worked the same way the IPv6
one did.  This allows us to get the same results given the same inputs for
both functions.  As a result we can use the same processes to reverse the
calculation in the event we need to do something like remove the length of
the pseudo-header checksum.

I also took the opportunity to standardize things so that the parameters
for these functions all use the correct types.  IPv4 addresses are __be32,
length should always be __u32, and protocol is a __u8.

With this change in place it corrects an issue with UDP tunnels in which we
were getting a checksum that was off by 1 when performing fragmentation on
inner UDP packets.

It is possible for tunnels to end up generating IP or IPv6 datagrams that
are larger than 64K and expecting to be segmented.  As such we need to deal
with length values greater than 64K.  In order to accommodate this we need
to update the code to work with a 32b length value instead of a 16b one.

This patch updates csum_ipv6_magic so that it correctly recognizes that
protocol is a unsigned 8 bit value.

This will allow us to better understand what limitations may or may not be
present in how we handle the data.  For example there are a number of
places that call htonl on the protocol value.  This is likely not necessary
and can be replaced with a multiplication by ntohl(1) which will be
converted to a shift by the compiler.

This patch updates all instances of csum_tcpudp_magic and
csum_tcpudp_nofold to reflect the types that are usually used as the source
inputs.  For example the protocol field is populated based on nexthdr which
is actually an unsigned 8 bit value.  The length is usually populated based
on skb->len which is an unsigned integer.

This addresses an issue in which the IPv6 function csum_ipv6_magic was
generating a checksum using the full 32b of skb->len while
csum_tcpudp_magic was only using the lower 16 bits.  As a result we could
run into issues when attempting to adjust the checksum as there was no
protocol agnostic way to update it.

With this change the value is still truncated as many architectures use
"(len + proto) << 8", however this truncation only occurs for values
greater than 16776960 in length and as such is unlikely to occur as we stop
the inner headers at ~64K in size.

I did have to make a few minor changes in the arm, mn10300, nios2, and
score versions of the function in order to support these changes as they
were either using things such as an OR to combine the protocol and length,
or were using ntohs to convert the length which would have truncated the
value.

I also updated a few spots in terms of whitespace and type differences for
the addresses.  Most of this was just to make sure all of the definitions
were in sync going forward.

When an inetdev is destroyed, every address assigned to the interface
is removed.  And in this scenerio we do two pointless things which can
be very expensive if the number of assigned interfaces is large:

1) Address promotion.  We are deleting all addresses, so there is no
   point in doing this.

2) A full nf conntrack table purge for every address.  We only need to
   do this once, as is already caught by the existing
   masq_dev_notifier so masq_inet_event() can skip this.

====================
MACsec IEEE 802.1AE implementation

MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE [0]) is a protocol that provides security for
wired ethernet LANs.  MACsec offers two protection modes:
authentication only, or authenticated encryption.

MACsec defines "secure channels" that allow transmission from one node
to one or more others.  Communication on a channel is done over a
succession of "secure associations", that each use a specific key.
Secure associations are identified by their "association number" in
the range 0..3.  A secure association is retired when its 32-bit
packet number would wrap, and the same association number can later be
reused with a new key and packet number.

The standard mode of encryption is GCM AES with 128 bits keys,
although an extension allows 256 bits keys [1] (not implemented in
this submission).

When using MACsec, an extra header, called "SecTAG", is added between
the ethernet header and the original payload:

 +---------------------------------+----------------+----------------+
 |        (MACsec ethertype)       |     TCI_AN     |       SL       |
 +---------------------------------+----------------+----------------+
 |                           Packet Number                           |
 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
 |                     Secure Channel Identifier                     |
 |                            (optional)                             |
 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

TCI_AN:
 version
 end_station
 sci_present
 scb
 encrypted
 changed_text
 association_number (2 bits)
SL:
 short_length (6 bits)
 unused (2 bits)

The ethertype for the packet is set to 0x88E5, and the original
ethertype becomes part of the secure payload, which may be encrypted.
The ethernet header and the SecTAG are always transmitted in the
clear, but are integrity-protected.

MACsec supports optional replay protection with a configurable replay
window.

MACsec is designed to be used with the MKA extension to 802.1X (MACsec
Key Agreement protocol) [2], which provides channel attribution and
key distribution to the nodes, but can also be used with static keys
getting fed manually by an administrator.

Optional (not supported yet) features:
 - confidentiality offset: in encryption mode, part of the payload may
   be left unencrypted.
 - choice of cipher suite: GCM AES with 256 bits has been standardised
   [1].

Implementation

A netdevice is created on top of a real device for each TX secure
channel, like we do for VLANs.  Multiple TX channels can be created on
top of the same underlying device.

Several other approaches were considered for the RX path:

 - dev_add_pack: doesn't work, because we want to filter out
   unprotected packets
 - transparent mode: MACsec would be enabled directly on the real
   netdevice.  For this, we cannot use a rx_handler directly because
   MACsec must be available for underlying devices enslaved in a
   bridge or in a bond, so we need a hook directly in
   __netif_receive_skb_core.  This approach makes it harder to filter
   non-encrypted packets on RX without forcing the user to setup some
   rules, so the "transparent" mode is not so transparent after all.
   It also makes TX more complex than with a dedicated netdevice.

One issue with the proposed implementation is that the qdisc layer for
the real device operates on already encrypted packets.

Netlink API

This is currently a mix of rtnetlink (to create the device and set up
the TX channel) and genl (for RX channels, secure associations and
their keys).  genl provides clean demultiplexing of the {TX,RX}{SC,SA}
commands.

Use cases

The normal use case is wired LANs, including veth and slave devices
for bonding/teaming or bridges.

MACsec can also be used on any device that makes a full ethernet
header visible, for example VXLAN.
The VXLAN+MACsec setup would be:

         hypervisor        |     virtual machine
    <real_dev>---<VXLAN>---|---<dev>---<macsec_dev>

And the packets would look like this:

| eth | IP | UDP | VXLAN | eth | MACsec | IP | ... | MACsec ICV |

One benefit on this approach to encryption in the cloud is that the
payload is encrypted by the tenant, not by the tunnel provider, thus
the tenant has full control over the keys.

Changes from v1:
 - rework netlink API after discussion with Johannes Berg
   - nest attributes, rename
   - export stats as separate attributes
   - add some comments

Bulk free of SKBs happen transparently by the API call napi_consume_skb().
The napi budget parameter is usually needed by napi_consume_skb()
to detect if called from netpoll.  In this patch it has an extra meaning.

For mlx4 driver, the mlx4_en_stop_port() call is done outside
NAPI/softirq context, and cleanup the entire TX ring via
mlx4_en_free_tx_buf().  The code mlx4_en_free_tx_desc() for
freeing SKBs are shared with NAPI calls.

To handle this shared use the zero budget indication is reused,
and handled appropriately in napi_consume_skb(). To reflect this,
variable is called napi_mode for the function call that needed
this distinction.

Some drivers reuse/share code paths that free SKBs between NAPI
and non-NAPI calls. Adjust napi_consume_skb to handle this
use-case.

Before, calls from netpoll (w/ IRQs disabled) was handled and
indicated with a budget zero indication.  Use the same zero
indication to handle calls not originating from NAPI/softirq.
Simply handled by using dev_consume_skb_any().

This adds an extra branch+call for the netpoll case (checking
in_irq() + irqs_disabled()), but that is okay as this is a slowpath.

Currently sctp_sendmsg() triggers some calls that will allocate memory
with GFP_ATOMIC even when not necessary. In the case of
sctp_packet_transmit it will allocate a linear skb that will be used to
construct the packet and this may cause sends to fail due to ENOMEM more
often than anticipated specially with big MTUs.

This patch thus allows it to inherit gfp flags from upper calls so that
it can use GFP_KERNEL if it was triggered by a sctp_sendmsg call or
similar. All others, like retransmits or flushes started from BH, are
still allocated using GFP_ATOMIC.

In netperf tests this didn't result in any performance drawbacks when
memory is not too fragmented and made it trigger ENOMEM way less often.

3rd cycle:

....

trans1 will never have change to be selected, which is not what we expect.
we should keeping round robin all the paths if they are just added at the
beginning.

So at first every tranport's last_time_heard should be initialized 0, so
that we ensure they have the same value at the beginning, only by this,
all the transports could get equal chance to be selected.

Then for sctp_trans_elect_best, it should return the trans_next one when
*trans == *trans_next, so that we can try next if it fails,  but now it
always return trans. so we can fix it by exchanging these two params when

instruction.

In addition we can update csum_block_sub to just use csum_block_add with a
inverse value for csum2.  This way we follow the same code path as
csum_block_add without having to duplicate it.

various pause configurations affecting the chip, the theoretical time
required in worst-case-scenario to empty hw fifos sufficiently to
guarantee that slowpath configuration would flow is currently
insufficient.

This increases such a drain request to the theoretical maximum.

Driver interaction with the managemnt firmware is done via mailbox
commands which the management firmware periodically sample, as well
as placing of additional data in set places in the shared memory.
Each PF has a single designated mailbox address, and all flows that
require messaging to the management should use it.

This patch does 2 things:
 1. It re-defines the critical section surrounding the mailbox sending -
that section should include the setting of the shared memory as well as
the sending of the command [otherwise a race might send a command with
the data of a different command].
 2. It moves the locking scheme from using mutices into using spinlocks.
This lays the groundwork for sending MFW commands from non-sleepable
contexts.
