accesses-beyond-end of the linear data.
In the vast majorify of cases, they bail out on the first condition.
All code going after is mostly a fallback.
Mark the most common branch as 'likely' one to move it in-line.
Also, skb_copy_bits() can return negative values only when the input
arguments are invalid, e.g. offset is greater than skb->len. It can
be safely marked as 'unlikely' branch, assuming that hotpath code
provides sane input to not fail here.

gro: micro-optimize dev_gro_receive()

This random series addresses some of suboptimal constructions used
in the main GRO entry point.
The main body is gro_list_prepare() simplification and pointer usage
optimization in dev_gro_receive() itself. Being mostly cosmetic, it
gives like +10 Mbps on my setup to both TCP and UDP (both single- and
multi-flow).

Since v1 [0]:
 - drop the replacement of bucket index calculation with
   reciprocal_scale() since it makes absolutely no sense (Eric);
 - improve stack usage in dev_gro_receive() (Eric);
 - reverse the order of patches to avoid changes superseding.

gro_list_prepare() always returns &napi->gro_hash[bucket].list,
without any variations. Moreover, it uses 'napi' argument only to
have access to this list, and calculates the bucket index for the
second time (firstly it happens at the beginning of
dev_gro_receive()) to do that.
Given that dev_gro_receive() already has an index to the needed
list, just pass it as the first argument to eliminate redundant
calculations, and make gro_list_prepare() return void.
Also, both arguments of gro_list_prepare() can be constified since
this function can only modify the skbs from the bucket list.

Commit eaf4fac4 ("net: stmmac: Do not accept invalid MTU values")
started using the TX FIFO size to verify what counts as a valid MTU
request for the stmmac driver.  This is unset for the ipq806x variant.
Looking at older patches for this it seems the RX + TXs buffers can be
up to 8k, so set appropriately.

(I sent this as an RFC patch in June last year, but received no replies.
I've been running with this on my hardware (a MikroTik RB3011) since
then with larger MTUs to support both the internal qca8k switch and
VLANs with no problems. Without the patch it's impossible to set the
larger MTU required to support this.)

net/sched: act_police: add support for packet-per-second policing

This series enhances the TC policer action implementation to allow a
policer action instance to enforce a rate-limit based on
packets-per-second, configurable using a packet-per-second rate and burst
parameters.

In the hope of aiding review this is broken up into three patches.

* [PATCH 1/3] flow_offload: add support for packet-per-second policing

  Add support for this feature to the flow_offload API that is used to allow
  programming flows, including TC rules and their actions, into hardware.

* [PATCH 2/3] flow_offload: reject configuration of packet-per-second policing in offload drivers

  Teach all exiting users of the flow_offload API that allow offload of
  policer action instances to reject offload if packet-per-second rate
  limiting is configured: none support it at this time

* [PATCH 3/3] net/sched: act_police: add support for packet-per-second policing

  With the above ground-work in place add the new feature to the TC policer
  action itself

With the above in place the feature may be used.

As follow-ups we plan to provide:
* Corresponding updates to iproute2
* Corresponding self tests (which depend on the iproute2 changes)
* Hardware offload support for the NFP driver

Key changes since v2:
* Added patches 1 and 2, which makes adding patch 3 safe for existing
  hardware offload of the policer action
* Re-worked patch 3 so that a TC policer action instance may be configured
  for packet-per-second or byte-per-second rate limiting, but not both.
* Corrected kdoc usage
