Currently, Qdisc API functions assume that users have rtnl lock taken. To
implement rtnl unlocked classifiers update interface, Qdisc API must be
extended with functions that do not require rtnl lock.

Extend Qdisc structure with rcu. Implement special version of put function
qdisc_put_unlocked() that is called without rtnl lock taken. This function
only takes rtnl lock if Qdisc reference counter reached zero and is
intended to be used as optimization.

Current implementation of qdisc_destroy() decrements Qdisc reference
counter and only actually destroy Qdisc if reference counter value reached
zero. Rename qdisc_destroy() to qdisc_put() in order for it to better
describe the way in which this function currently implemented and used.

Rtnl lock is encapsulated in netlink and cannot be accessed by other
modules directly. This means that reference counted objects that rely on
rtnl lock cannot use it with refcounter helper function that atomically
releases decrements reference and obtains mutex.

This patch implements simple wrapper function around refcount_dec_and_lock

During socket close, if there is a open record with tx context, it needs
to be be freed apart from freeing up plaintext and encrypted scatter
lists. This patch frees up the open record if present in tx context.

Also tls_free_both_sg() has been renamed to tls_free_open_rec() to
indicate that the free record in tx context is being freed inside the
function.

Current async encryption implementation sometimes showed up socket
memory accounting error during socket close. This results in kernel
warning calltrace. The root cause of the problem is that socket var
sk_forward_alloc gets corrupted due to access in sk_mem_charge()
and sk_mem_uncharge() being invoked from multiple concurrent contexts
in multicore processor. The apis sk_mem_charge() and sk_mem_uncharge()
are called from functions alloc_plaintext_sg(), free_sg() etc. It is
required that memory accounting apis are called under a socket lock.

The plaintext sg data sent for encryption is freed using free_sg() in
tls_encryption_done(). It is wrong to call free_sg() from this function.
This is because this function may run in irq context. We cannot acquire
socket lock in this function.

We remove calling of function free_sg() for plaintext data from
tls_encryption_done() and defer freeing up of plaintext data to the time
when the record is picked up from tx_list and transmitted/freed. When
tls_tx_records() gets called, socket is already locked and thus there is
no concurrent access problem.

On processors with multi-engine crypto accelerators, it is possible that
multiple records get encrypted in parallel and their encryption
completion is notified to different cpus in multicore processor. This
leads to the situation where tls_encrypt_done() starts executing in
parallel on different cores. In current implementation, encrypted
records are queued to tx_ready_list in tls_encrypt_done(). This requires
addition to linked list 'tx_ready_list' to be protected. As
tls_decrypt_done() could be executing in irq content, it is not possible
to protect linked list addition operation using a lock.

To fix the problem, we remove linked list addition operation from the
irq context. We do tx_ready_list addition/removal operation from
application context only and get rid of possible multiple access to
the linked list. Before starting encryption on the record, we add it to
the tail of tx_ready_list. To prevent tls_tx_records() from transmitting
it, we mark the record with a new flag 'tx_ready' in 'struct tls_rec'.
When record encryption gets completed, tls_encrypt_done() has to only
update the 'tx_ready' flag to true & linked list add operation is not
required.

The changed logic brings some other side benefits. Since the records
are always submitted in tls sequence number order for encryption, the
tx_ready_list always remains sorted and addition of new records to it
does not have to traverse the linked list.

Lastly, we renamed tx_ready_list in 'struct tls_sw_context_tx' to
'tx_list'. This is because now, the some of the records at the tail are
not ready to transmit.

Summary:

This appears to be necessary and sufficient change to enable `MPLS` on
`ip6gre` tunnels (RFC4023).

This diff allows IP6GRE devices to be recognized by MPLS kernel module
and hence user can configure interface to accept packets with mpls
headers as well setup mpls routes on them.

Test Plan:

Test plan consists of multiple containers connected via GRE-V6 tunnel.
Then carrying out testing steps as below.

- Carry out necessary sysctl settings on all containers

```
sysctl -w net.mpls.platform_labels=65536
sysctl -w net.mpls.ip_ttl_propagate=1
sysctl -w net.mpls.conf.lo.input=1
```

- Establish IP6GRE tunnels

```
ip -6 tunnel add name if_1_2_1 mode ip6gre \
  local 2401:db00:21:6048:feed:0::1 \
  remote 2401:db00:21:6048:feed:0::2 key 1
ip link set dev if_1_2_1 up
sysctl -w net.mpls.conf.if_1_2_1.input=1
ip -4 addr add 169.254.0.2/31 dev if_1_2_1 scope link

ip -6 tunnel add name if_1_3_1 mode ip6gre \
  local 2401:db00:21:6048:feed:0::1 \
  remote 2401:db00:21:6048:feed:0::3 key 1
ip link set dev if_1_3_1 up
sysctl -w net.mpls.conf.if_1_3_1.input=1
ip -4 addr add 169.254.0.4/31 dev if_1_3_1 scope link
```

- Install MPLS encap rules on node-1 towards node-2

```
ip route add 192.168.0.11/32 nexthop encap mpls 32/64 \
  via inet 169.254.0.3 dev if_1_2_1
```

- Install MPLS forwarding rules on node-2 and node-3
```
// node2
ip -f mpls route add 32 via inet 169.254.0.7 dev if_2_4_1

// node3
ip -f mpls route add 64 via inet 169.254.0.12 dev if_4_3_1
```

- Ping 192.168.0.11 (node4) from 192.168.0.1 (node1) (where routing
  towards 192.168.0.1 is via IP route directly towards node1 from node4)
```
ping 192.168.0.11
```

- tcpdump on interface to capture ping packets wrapped within MPLS
  header which inturn wrapped within IP6GRE header

This patch fixes skb_shared area, which will be corrupted
upon reception of 4K jumbo packets.

Originally build_skb usage purpose was to reuse page for skb to eliminate
needs of extra fragments. But that logic does not take into account that
skb_shared_info should be reserved at the end of skb data area.

In case packet data consumes all the page (4K), skb_shinfo location
overflows the page. As a consequence, __build_skb zeroed shinfo data above
the allocated page, corrupting next page.

The issue is rarely seen in real life because jumbo are normally larger
than 4K and that causes another code path to trigger.
But it 100% reproducible with simple scapy packet, like:

    sendp(IP(dst="192.168.100.3") / TCP(dport=443) \
          / Raw(RandString(size=(4096-40))), iface="enp1s0")

netpoll: avoid capture effects for NAPI drivers

As diagnosed by Song Liu, ndo_poll_controller() can
be very dangerous on loaded hosts, since the cpu
calling ndo_poll_controller() might steal all NAPI
contexts (for all RX/TX queues of the NIC).

This capture, showing one ksoftirqd eating all cycles
can last for unlimited amount of time, since one
cpu is generally not able to drain all the queues under load.

It seems that all networking drivers that do use NAPI
for their TX completions, should not provide a ndo_poll_controller() :

Most NAPI drivers have netpoll support already handled
in core networking stack, since netpoll_poll_dev()
uses poll_napi(dev) to iterate through registered
NAPI contexts for a device.

This patch series take care of the first round, we will
handle other drivers in future rounds.

tun uses NAPI for TX completions, so we better let core
networking stack call the napi->poll() to avoid the capture.
