Slow start now increases cwnd by 1 if an ACK acknowledges some packets,
regardless the number of packets. Consequently slow start performance
is highly dependent on the degree of the stretch ACKs caused by
receiver or network ACK compression mechanisms (e.g., delayed-ACK,
GRO, etc).  But slow start algorithm is to send twice the amount of
packets of packets left so it should process a stretch ACK of degree
N as if N ACKs of degree 1, then exits when cwnd exceeds ssthresh. A
follow up patch will use the remainder of the N (if greater than 1)
to adjust cwnd in the congestion avoidance phase.

In addition this patch retires the experimental limited slow start
(LSS) feature. LSS has multiple drawbacks but questionable benefit. The
fractional cwnd increase in LSS requires a loop in slow start even
though it's rarely used. Configuring such an increase step via a global
sysctl on different BDPS seems hard. Finally and most importantly the
slow start overshoot concern is now better covered by the Hybrid slow
start (hystart) enabled by default.

Mellanox driver updates

This patch set from Jack Morgenstein does the following:

1. Fix MAC/VLAN SRIOV implementation, and add wrapper functions for VLAN allocation
   and de-allocation (patches 1-6).

2. Implements resource quotas when running under SRIOV (patches 7-10).
   Patch 7 is a small bug fix, and patches 8-10 implement the quotas.

Quotas are implemented per resource type for VFs and the PF, to prevent
any entity from simply grabbing all the resources for itself and leaving
the other entities unable to obtain such resources.

The series is against net-next commit ba486502 "ipv6: remove the unnecessary statement in find_match()"

Implements resource quota grant decision when resources are requested,
for the following resources:  QPs, CQs, SRQs, MPTs, MTTs, vlans, MACs,
and Counters.

When granting a resource, the quota system increases the allocated-count
for that slave.

When the slave later frees the resource, its allocated-count is reduced.

A spinlock is used to protect the integrity of each resource's free-pool counter.
(One slave may be in the process of being granted a resource while another
slave has crashed, initiating cleanup of that slave's resource quotas).

In current kernels, the mlx4 driver running on a VM does not
differentiate between max resource numbers for the HCA and
max quotas -- it simply takes the quota values passed to it
as max-resource values.

However, the driver actually requires the VFs to be aware of
the actual number of resources that the HCA was initialized with,
for QPs, CQs, SRQs and MPTs.

For QPs, CQs and SRQs, the reason is that in completion handling
the driver must know which of the 24 bits are the actual resource
number, and which are "padding" bits.

For MPTs, also, the driver assumes knowledge of the number of MPTs
in the system.

The previous commit fixes the quota logic on the VM for the quota values
passed to it by QUERY_FUNC_CAPS.

For QPs, CQs, SRQs, and MPTs, it takes the max resource numbers
from QUERY_HCA (and not QUERY_FUNC_CAPS).  The quotas passed
in QUERY_FUNC_CAPS are used to report max resource number values
in the response to ib_query_device.

However, the Hypervisor driver must consider that VMs
may be running previous kernels, and compatibility must be preserved.

To resolve the incompatibility with previous kernels running on VMs,
we deprecated the quota fields in mlx4_QUERY_FUNC_CAP.  In the
deprecated fields, we pass the max-resource values from INIT_HCA

The quota fields are moved to a new location, and the current kernel
driver takes the proper values from that location. There is
also a new flag in dword 0, bit 28 of the mlx4_QUERY_FUNC_CAP mailbox;
if this flag is set, the (VM) driver takes the quota values from the
new location.

VMs running previous kernels will work properly, except that the max resource
numbers reported in ib_query_device for these resources will be
too high.  The Hypervisor driver will, however, enforce the quotas
for these VMs.

This is step #1 for implementing SRIOV resource quotas for VFs.

Quotas are implemented per resource type for VFs and the PF, to prevent
any entity from simply grabbing all the resources for itself and leaving
the other entities unable to obtain such resources.

Resources which are allocated using quotas:  QPs, CQs, SRQs, MPTs, MTTs, MAC,
                                             VLAN, and Counters.

The quota system works as follows:
Each entity (VF or PF) is given a max number of a given resource (its quota),
and a guaranteed minimum number for each resource (starvation prevention).

For QPs, CQs, SRQs, MPTs and MTTs:
50% of the available quantity for the resource is divided equally among
the PF and all the active VFs (i.e., the number of VFs in the mlx4_core module
parameter "num_vfs"). This 50% represents the "guaranteed minimum" pool.
The other 50% is the "free pool", allocated on a first-come-first-serve basis.
For each VF/PF, resources are first allocated from its "guaranteed-minimum"
pool. When that pool is exhausted, the driver attempts to allocate from
the resource "free-pool".

The quota (i.e., max) for the VFs and the PF is:
  The free-pool amount (50% of the real max) + the guaranteed minimum

For MACs:
  Guarantee 2 MACs per VF/PF per port. As a result, since we have only
  128 MACs per port, reduce the allowable number of VFs from 64 to 63.
  Any remaining MACs are put into a free pool.

For VLANs:
  For the PF, the per-port quota is 128 and guarantee is 64
     (to allow the PF to register at least a VLAN per VF in VST mode).
  For the VFs, the per-port quota is 64 and the guarantee is 0.
      We assume that VGT VFs are trusted not to abuse the VLAN resource.

For Counters:
  For all functions (PF and VFs), the quota is 128 and the guarantee is 0.

In this patch, we define the needed structures, which are added to the
resource-tracker struct.  In addition, we do initialization
for the resource quota, and adjust the query_device response to use quotas
rather than resource maxima.

As part of the implementation, we introduce a new field in
mlx4_dev: quotas.  This field holds the resource quotas used
to report maxima to the upper layers (ib_core, via query_device).

The HCA maxima of these values are passed to the VFs (via
QUERY_HCA) so that they may continue to use these in handling
QPs, CQs, SRQs and MPTs.

In procedure mlx4_init_mr_table(), slaves should do no processing,
but should return success. This initialization is hypervisor-only.

However, the check for num_mpts being a power-of-2 was performed
before the check to return immediately if the driver is for a slave.
This resulted in spurious failures.

The order of performing the checks is reversed, so that if the
driver is for a slave, no processing is done and success is returned.

In upstream kernels under SRIOV, the vlan register/unregister calls
were NOPs (doing nothing and returning OK). We detect these old
calls from guests (via the comm channel), since previously the
port number in mlx4_register_vlan was passed (improperly) in the
out_param. This has been corrected so that the port number is now
passed in bits 8..15 of the in_modifier field.

For old calls, these bits will be zero, so if the passed port
number is zero, we can still look at the out_param field to see
if it contains a valid port number. If yes, the VM is running
an old driver.

Since for old drivers, the register/unregister_vlan wrappers were
NOPs, we continue this policy -- the reason being that upstream
had an additional bug in eth driver running on guests (where
procedure mlx4_en_vlan_rx_kill_vid() had the following code:

if (!mlx4_find_cached_vlan(mdev->dev, priv->port, vid, &idx))
        mlx4_unregister_vlan(mdev->dev, priv->port, idx);
else
        en_err(priv, "could not find vid %d in cache\n", vid);

On a VM, mlx4_find_cached_vlan() will always fail, since the
vlan cache is located on the Hypervisor; on guests it is empty.

Therefore, if we allow upstream guests to register vlans, we will
have vlan leakage since the unregister will never be performed.
Leaving vlan reg/unreg for old guest drivers as a NOP is not a
feature regression, since in upstream the register/unregister
vlan wrapper is a NOP.

The functions mlx4_register_vlan, mlx4_unregister_vlan, mlx4_register_mac,

FREE_RES (sections 20.15.1 and 20.15.2).

For MAC register/unregister, this patch contains workarounds so that guests
running previous kernels continue to work on a new Hypervisor, and guests
running the new kernel will continue to work on old hypervisors.

Introduced in f9e42b85 ("net: sctp: sideeffect: throw BUG if
primary_path is NULL"), we intended to find a buggy assoc that's
part of the assoc hash table with a primary_path that is NULL.
However, we better remove the BUG_ON for now and find a more
suitable place to assert for these things as Mark reports that
this also triggers the bug when duplication cookie processing
happens, and the assoc is not part of the hash table (so all
good in this case). Such a situation can for example easily be
reproduced by:

  tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: prio bands 2 priomap 1 1 1 1 1 1
  tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:2 handle 20: netem loss 20%
  tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent 1: prio 2 u32 match ip \
            protocol 132 0xff match u8 0x0b 0xff at 32 flowid 1:2

This drops 20% of COOKIE-ACK packets. After some follow-up
discussion with Vlad we came to the conclusion that for now we
should still better remove this BUG_ON() assertion, and come up
with two follow-ups later on, that is, i) find a more suitable
place for this assertion, and possibly ii) have a special
allocator/initializer for such kind of temporary assocs.

High-availability Seamless Redundancy ("HSR") provides instant failover
redundancy for Ethernet networks. It requires a special network topology where
all nodes are connected in a ring (each node having two physical network
interfaces). It is suited for applications that demand high availability and
very short reaction time.

HSR acts on the Ethernet layer, using a registered Ethernet protocol type to
send special HSR frames in both directions over the ring. The driver creates
virtual network interfaces that can be used just like any ordinary Linux
network interface, for IP/TCP/UDP traffic etc. All nodes in the network ring
must be HSR capable.

This code is a "best effort" to comply with the HSR standard as described in

any netdev structures to use vmalloc() if kmalloc() failed.

As vmalloc() adds overhead on a critical network path, add __GFP_REPEAT
to kzalloc() flags to do this fallback only when really needed.
