tipc: improve interaction socket-link

We fix a very real starvation problem that may occur when a link
encounters send buffer congestion. At the same time we make the
interaction between the socket and link layer simpler and more
consistent.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The socket code currently handles link congestion by either blocking
and trying to send again when the congestion has abated, or just
returning to the user with -EAGAIN and let him re-try later.

This mechanism is prone to starvation, because the wakeup algorithm is
non-atomic. During the time the link issues a wakeup signal, until the
socket wakes up and re-attempts sending, other senders may have come
in between and occupied the free buffer space in the link. This in turn
may lead to a socket having to make many send attempts before it is
successful. In extremely loaded systems we have observed latency times
of several seconds before a low-priority socket is able to send out a
message.

In this commit, we simplify this mechanism and reduce the risk of the
described scenario happening. When a message is attempted sent via a
congested link, we now let it be added to the link's backlog queue
anyway, thus permitting an oversubscription of one message per source
socket. We still create a wakeup item and return an error code, hence
instructing the sender to block or stop sending. Only when enough space
has been freed up in the link's backlog queue do we issue a wakeup event
that allows the sender to continue with the next message, if any.

The fact that a socket now can consider a message sent even when the
link returns a congestion code means that the sending socket code can
be simplified. Also, since this is a good opportunity to get rid of the
obsolete 'mtu change' condition in the three socket send functions, we
now choose to refactor those functions completely.

During multicast reception we currently use a simple linked list with
push/pop semantics to store port numbers.

We now see a need for a more generic list for storing values of type
u32. We therefore make some modifications to this list, while replacing
the prefix 'tipc_plist_' with 'u32_'. We also add a couple of new
functions which will come to use in the next commits.

The functions tipc_wait_for_sndpkt() and tipc_wait_for_sndmsg() are very
similar. The latter function is also called from two locations, and
there will be more in the coming commits, which will all need to test on
different conditions.

Instead of making yet another duplicates of the function, we now
introduce a new macro tipc_wait_for_cond() where the wakeup condition
can be stated as an argument to the call. This macro replaces all
current and future uses of the two functions, which can now be
eliminated.

TPACKET_V3 TX_RING support

This patch series allows an application to use a single PF_PACKET
descriptor and leverage the best implementations of TX_RING
and RX_RING that exist today.

Patch 1 adds the kernel/Documentation changes for TX_RING
support and patch2 adds the associated test case in selftests.

Changes since v2: additional sanity checks for setsockopt
input for TX_RING/TPACKET_V3. Refactored psock_tpacket.c

Although TPACKET_V3 Rx has some benefits over TPACKET_V2 Rx, *_v3
does not currently have TX_RING support. As a result an application
that wants the best perf for Tx and Rx (e.g. to handle request/response
transacations) ends up needing 2 sockets, one with *_v2 for Tx and
another with *_v3 for Rx.

This patch enables TPACKET_V2 compatible Tx features in TPACKET_V3
so that an application can use a single descriptor to get the benefits
of _v3 RX_RING and _v2 TX_RING. An application may do a block-send by
first filling up multiple frames in the Tx ring and then triggering a
transmit. This patch only support fixed size Tx frames for TPACKET_V3,
and requires that tp_next_offset must be zero.

While working with ipmr, we noticed that it is impossible to determine
if an entry is actually unresolved or its IIF interface has disappeared
(e.g. virtual interface got deleted). These entries look almost
identical to user-space when dumping or receiving notifications. So in
order to recognize them add a new RTNH_F_UNRESOLVED flag which is set when
sending an unresolved cache entry to user-space.

net: RDS updates

v2->v3:
- Re-based against latest net-next head.
- Dropped a user visible change after discussing with David Miller.
  It needs some more work to fully support old/new tools matrix.
- Addressed Dave's comment about bool usage in patch
  "RDS: IB: track and log active side..."

v1->v2:
Re-aligned indentation in patch 'RDS: mark few internal functions..."

Series consist of:
 - RDMA transport fixes for map failure, listen sequence, handler panic and
   composite message notification.
 - Couple of sparse fixes.
 - Message logging improvements for bind failure, use once mr semantics
   and connection remote address, active end point.
 - Performance improvement for RDMA transport by reducing the post send
   pressure on the queue and spreading the CQ vectors.
 - Useful statistics for socket send/recv usage and receive cache usage.
 - Additional RDS CMSG used by application to track the RDS message
   stages for certain type of traffic to find out latency spots.
   Can be enabled/disabled per socket.

Shutdown code reaping loop takes care of emptying the
CQ's before they being destroyed. And once tasklets are
killed, the hanlders are not expected to run.

But because of core tasklet code issues, tasklet handler could
still run even after tasklet_kill,
RDS IB shutdown code already reaps the CQs before freeing
cq/qp resources so as such the handlers have nothing left
to do post shutdown.

On other hand any handler running after teardown and trying
to access already freed qp/cq resources causes issues
Patch fixes this race by  makes sure that handlers returns
without any action post teardown.

When application sends an RDS RDMA composite message consist of
RDMA transfer to be followed up by non RDMA payload, it expect to
be notified *only* when the full message gets delivered. RDS RDMA
notification doesn't behave this way though.

Thanks to Venkat for debug and root casuing the issue
where only first part of the message(RDMA) was
successfully delivered but remainder payload delivery failed.
In that case, application should not be notified with
a false positive of message delivery success.

Fix this case by making sure the user gets notified only after
the full message delivery.
