Use the new APIs for eliminating a copy on the receive path. These new APIs also help in minimizing the number of memory barriers we end up issuing (in the ringbuffer code) since we can better control when we want to expose the ring state to the host. The patch is being resent to address earlier email issues. Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan <kys@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

hfsc_sched is huge (size: 920, cachelines: 15), but we can get it to 14 cachelines by placing level after filter_cnt (covering 4 byte hole) and reducing period/nactive/flags to u32 (period is just a counter, incremented when class becomes active -- 2**32 is plenty for this purpose, also, long is only 32bit wide on 32bit platforms anyway). cl_vtperiod is exported to userspace via tc_hfsc_stats, but its period member is already u32, so no precision is lost there either.

From Florian Westphal. 7) Skip zone comparison if CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_ZONES=n, from Florian. 8) Remove useless defensive check in nf_logger_find_get() from Shivani Bhardwaj. 9) Remove zone extension as place it in the conntrack object, this is always include in the hashing and we expect more intensive use of zones since containers are in place. Also from Florian Westphal. 10) Owner match now works from any namespace, from Eric Bierdeman. 11) Make sure we only reply with TCP reset to TCP traffic from nf_reject_ipv4, patch from Liping Zhang. 12) Introduce --nflog-size to indicate amount of network packet bytes that are copied to userspace via log message, from Vishwanath Pai. This obsoletes --nflog-range that has never worked, it was designed to achieve this but it has never worked. 13) Introduce generic macros for nf_tables object generation masks. 14) Use generation mask in table, chain and set objects in nf_tables. This allows fixes interferences with ongoing preparation phase of the commit protocol and object listings going on at the same time. This update is introduced in three patches, one per object. 15) Check if the object is active in the next generation for element deactivation in the rbtree implementation, given that deactivation happens from the commit phase path we have to observe the future status of the object. 16) Support for deletion of just added elements in the hash set type. 17) Allow to resize hashtable from /proc entry, not only from the obscure /sys entry that maps to the module parameter, from Florian Westphal. 18) Get rid of NFT_BASECHAIN_DISABLED, this code is not exercised anymore since we tear down the ruleset whenever the netdevice goes away. 19) Support for matching inverted set lookups, from Arturo Borrero. 20) Simplify the iptables_mangle_hook() by removing a superfluous extra branch. 21) Introduce ether_addr_equal_masked() and use it from the netfilter codebase, from Joe Perches. 22) Remove references to "Use netfilter MARK value as routing key" from the Netfilter Kconfig description given that this toggle doesn't exists already for 10 years, from Moritz Sichert. 23) Introduce generic NF_INVF() and use it from the xtables codebase, from Joe Perches. 24) Setting logger to NONE via /proc was not working unless explicit nul-termination was included in the string.

Beacon report radio measurement requires reporting observed BSSs on the channels specified in the beacon request. If the measurement mode is set to passive or active, it requires actually performing a scan (passive or active, accordingly), and reporting the time that the scan was started and the time each beacon/probe was received (both in terms of TSF of the BSS of the requesting AP). If the request mode is table, this information is optional. In addition, the radio measurement request specifies the channel dwell time for the measurement. In order to use scan for beacon report when the mode is active or passive, add a parameter to scan request that specifies the channel dwell time, and add scan start time and beacon received time to scan results information. Supporting beacon report is required for Multi Band Operation (MBO).

The current implementation of handling ADDBA Request while a session is already active with the peer is wrong - in case the peer is using the existing session's dialog token this should be treated as update to the session, which can update the timeout value. We don't really have a good way of supporting that, so reject, but implement the required behaviour in the spec of "Even if the updated ADDBA Request frame is not accepted, the original Block ACK setup remains active."

However, after fixing a deadlock bug in commit 9c7370a1 ("ipv6: Fix a potential deadlock when creating pcpu rt"), free_percpu() is not called before setting non_pcpu_rt->rt6i_pcpu to NULL. It is worth to note that rt6i_pcpu is protected by table->tb6_lock. kmemleak somehow did not report it.

Currently, link notifications are not sent by bond_set_slave_link_state() upon enslavement if the slave is enslaved when up. This happens because slave->link default init value is 0, which is the same as BOND_LINK_UP, resulting in bond_set_slave_link_state() ignoring this transition. This patch sets the default value of slave->link to BOND_LINK_NOCHANGE, assuring it will count as a state transition and thus trigger notification logic.

Jiri Pirko says: ==================== mlxsw: Implement IPV4 unicast routing This patchset enables IPv4 unicast routing in the Mellanox Spectrum ASIC switch driver. This builds upon the work that was done by a couple of previous patchsets. Patches 1,2,6 add a couple of dependencies outside the driver. Namely, the ability to propagate ndo_neigh_construct()/destroy() through stacked devices and a notification whenever DELAY_PROBE_TIME changes. When propagated down, the ndos allow drivers to add and remove neighbour entries from their private neighbour table. The DELAY_PROBE_TIME notification gives drivers the ability to correctly configure their polling interval for neighbour activity, so that active neighbour won't be marked as STALE. Patches 3-5,7-8 add the neighbour offloading infrastructure, where patch 7 uses the DELAY_PROBE_TIME notification in order to correctly configure the device's polling interval. Patch 8 finally programs neighbours to the device's table based on NEIGH_UPDATE notifications, so that directly connected routes can be used. Patches 9-16 build upon the previous patches and extend the router with remote routes (nexthop) support. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Otherwise, just edit its parameters. If NUD state machine transitioned neighbour out of VALID state and it's present in the device's table, then remove it.

As previously explained, the driver should periodically poll the device for neighbours activity according to the configured DELAY_PROBE_TIME. This will prevent active neighbours from staying in STALE state for long periods of time. During init configure the polling interval according to the DELAY_PROBE_TIME used in the default table. In addition, register a netevent notification block, so that the interval is updated whenever DELAY_PROBE_TIME changes. Using the computed interval schedule a delayed work, which will update the kernel via neigh_event_send() on any active neighbour since the last delayed work.

When the data plane is offloaded the traffic doesn't go through the networking stack. Therefore, after first resolving a neighbour the NUD state machine will transition it from REACHABLE to STALE until it's finally deleted by the garbage collector. To prevent such situations the offloading driver should notify the NUD state machine on any neighbours that were recently used. The driver's polling interval should be set so that the NUD state machine can function as if the traffic wasn't offloaded. Currently, there are no in-tree drivers that can report confirmation for a neighbour, but only 'used' indication. Therefore, the polling interval should be set according to DELAY_FIRST_PROBE_TIME, as a neighbour will transition from REACHABLE state to DELAY (instead of STALE) if "a packet was sent within the last DELAY_FIRST_PROBE_TIME seconds" (RFC 4861). Send a netevent whenever the DELAY_FIRST_PROBE_TIME changes - either via netlink or sysctl - so that offloading drivers can correctly set their polling interval.
