Up until now, mlxsw tolerated firmware versions that weren't exactly
matching the required version, if the branch number matched. That
allowed the users to test various firmware versions as long as they were
on the right branch.

On the other hand, it made it impossible for mlxsw to put a hard lower
bound on a version that fixes all problems known to date. If a user had
a somewhat older FW version installed, mlxsw would start up just fine,
possibly performing non-optimally as it would use features that trigger
problematic behavior.

Therefore tweak the check to accept any FW version that is:

- on the same branch as the preferred version, and
- the same as or newer than the preferred version.

Currently, ip[6]frag_high_thresh sysctl values in new namespaces are
hard-limited to those of the root/init ns.

There are at least two use cases when it would be desirable to
set the high_thresh values higher in a child namespace vs the global hard
limit:

- a security/ddos protection policy may lower the thresholds in the
  root/init ns but allow for a special exception in a child namespace
- testing: a test running in a namespace may want to set these
  thresholds higher in its namespace than what is in the root/init ns

The new behavior:

 # ip netns add testns
 # ip netns exec testns bash

 # sysctl -w net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh=9000000
 net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh = 9000000

 # sysctl net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh
 net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh = 9000000

 # sysctl -w net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh=9000000

 # sysctl net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh
 net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh = 9000000

tcp: switch to Early Departure Time model

In the early days, pacing has been implemented in sch_fq (FQ)
in a generic way :

- SO_MAX_PACING_RATE could be used by any sockets.

- TCP would vary effective pacing rate based on CWND*MSS/SRTT

- FQ would ensure delays between packets based on current
  sk->sk_pacing_rate, but with some quantum based artifacts.
  (inflating RPC tail latencies)

- BBR then tweaked the pacing rate in its various phases
  (PROBE, DRAIN, ...)

This worked reasonably well, but had the side effect that TCP RTT
samples would be inflated by the sojourn time of the packets in FQ.

Also note that when FQ is not used and TCP wants pacing, the
internal pacing fallback has very different behavior, since TCP
emits packets at the time they should be sent (with unreasonable
assumptions about scheduling costs)

Van Jacobson gave a talk at Netdev 0x12 in Montreal, about letting
TCP (or applications for UDP messages) decide of the Earliest
Departure Time, instead of letting packet schedulers derive it
from pacing rate.

Recent additions in linux provided SO_TXTIME and a new ETF qdisc
supporting the new skb->tstamp role

This patch series converts TCP and FQ to the same model.

This might in the future allow us to relax tight TSQ limits
(if FQ is present in the output path), and thus lower
number of callbacks to tcp_write_xmit(), thanks to batching.

This will be followed by FQ change allowing SO_TXTIME support
so that QUIC servers can let the pacing being done in FQ (or
offloaded if network device permits)

For example, a TCP flow rated at 24Mbps now shows a more meaningful RTT

TCP keeps track of tcp_wstamp_ns by itself, meaning sch_fq
no longer has to do it.

Thanks to this model, TCP can get more accurate RTT samples,
since pacing no longer inflates them.

This has the nice effect of removing some delays caused by FQ
quantum mechanism, causing inflated max/P99 latencies.

Also we might relax TCP Small Queue tight limits in the future,
since this new model allow TCP to build bigger batches, since
sch_fq (or a device with earliest departure time offload) ensure
these packets will be delivered on time.

Note that other protocols are not converted (they will probably
never be) so sch_fq has still support for SO_MAX_PACING_RATE

Tested:

Test showing FQ pacing quantum artifact for low-rate flows,
adding unexpected throttles for RPC flows, inflating max and P99 latencies.

The parameters chosen here are to show what happens typically when
a TCP flow has a reduced pacing rate (this can be caused by a reduced
cwin after few losses, or/and rtt above few ms)

Struct arpreq contains the name of the device. All other places in the

As it could be good reasons to use constants instead of the defines in

without opening a can of worms in user-land.

This because if_arp.h includes netdevice.h, which also uses
