Multicast processing in IPvlan

Dan Willems pointed out that autoconf in IPvlan is broken because of the
way broadcast bit gets set. Since broadcast processing is a real performance
drain, the broadcast bit in multicast filter was only set when the interface
was configured with IPv4 address. In autoconf scenario, when there are
no addresses configured; this logic did not work and it wouldn't allow
DHCPv4 to work. The only way was to add protocol specific hacks to avoid
processing unnecessary broadcast burdon.

This jugglery could be avoided if these multicast / broadcast packets are taken
out of fast-path and are processed in a work-queue. This will enable us to add
broadcast bit in all multicast filters without any impact on performance of
the virtual device. This patch series just does that.

Earlier tricks of setting broadcast bit only when IPv4 address is added
onto interface are not good enough especially when autoconf comes in play.
Setting them on always is performance drag but now that multicast /
broadcast is not processed in fast-path; enabling broadcast will let
autoconf work correctly without affecting performance characteristics of
the device.

Processing multicast / broadcast in fast path is performance draining
and having more links means more cloning and bringing performance
down further.

Broadcast; in particular, need to be given to all the virtual links.
Earlier tricks of enabling broadcast bit for IPv4 only interfaces are not
really working since it fails autoconf. Which means enabling broadcast
for all the links if protocol specific hacks do not have to be added into
the driver.

This patch defers all (incoming as well as outgoing) multicast traffic to
a work-queue leaving only the unicast traffic in the fast-path. Now if we
need to apply any additional tricks to further reduce the impact of this
(multicast / broadcast) type of traffic, it can be implemented while
processing this work without affecting the fast-path.

Add eth_proto_is_802_3 to provide improved means of checking Ethertype

This patch series implements and makes use of eth_proto_is_802_3().  The
idea behind the function is to provide an optimized means of testing to
determine if a given Ethertype value is a length or 802.3 protocol number.
The standard path for this was to use ntohs(proto) and then perform a
comparison.  This adds a slight cost as it usually requires either a 16b
rotate or byte swap which can cost 1 cycle or more depending on the
processor.

I had previously addressed this for eth_type_trans, however in doing so I had
overlooked checking with sparse and had introduced a couple sparse warnings.
The first patch in this series fixes those sparse warnings as well as does
some additional optimization for big endian systems.  In addition it pushes
the code out into a separate function which can then be used in the other
patches to reduce the instruction count/processing time in those functions
as well.

This change does two things.  First it fixes a sparse error for the fact
that the __be16 degrades to an integer.  Since that is actually what I am
kind of doing I am simply working around that by forcing both sides of the
comparison to u16.

Also I realized on some compilers I was generating another instruction for
big endian systems such as PowerPC since it was masking the value before
doing the comparison.  So to resolve that I have simply pulled the mask out
and wrapped it in an #ifndef __BIG_ENDIAN.

Lastly I pulled this all out into its own function.  I notices there are
similar checks in a number of other places so this function can be reused
there to help reduce overhead in these paths as well.

Change BR_GROUPFWD_RESTRICTED to allow to forward LLDP frames and document

e.g.
   echo 16384 > /sys/class/net/brX/bridge/group_fwd_mask
allows to forward LLDP frames.

This may be needed for bridge setups used for network troubleshooting or
any other scenario where forwarding of LLDP frames is desired (e.g. bridge
connecting a virtual machine to real switch transmitting LLDP frames that
virtual machine needs to receive).

Tested on a simple bridge setup with two interfaces and host transmitting
LLDP frames on one side of this bridge (used lldpd). Setting group_fwd_mask
as described above lets LLDP frames traverse bridge.

This patch allows a server application to get the TCP SYN headers for
its passive connections.  This is useful if the server is doing
fingerprinting of clients based on SYN packet contents.

Two socket options are added: TCP_SAVE_SYN and TCP_SAVED_SYN.

The first is used on a socket to enable saving the SYN headers
for child connections. This can be set before or after the listen()
call.

The latter is used to retrieve the SYN headers for passive connections,
if the parent listener has enabled TCP_SAVE_SYN.

TCP_SAVED_SYN is read once, it frees the saved SYN headers.

The data returned in TCP_SAVED_SYN are network (IPv4/IPv6) and TCP
headers.

Original patch was written by Tom Herbert, I changed it to not hold
a full skb (and associated dst and conntracking reference).

We have used such patch for about 3 years at Google.

Todd cleans up igb_enable_mas() since it should only be called for the
82575 silicon and has no clear return, so modify the function to void.

Jean Sacren found upon inspection that 'err' did not need to be

Alex Duyck provides two patches for e1000e, the first cleans up the
handling VLAN_HLEN as a part of max frame size.  Fixes the issue:
c751a3d5 ("e1000e: Correctly include VLAN_HLEN when changing
interface MTU").  The second fixes an issue where the driver was not
allowing jumbo frames to be enabled when CRC stripping was disabled,
however it was allowing CRC stripping to be disabled while jumbo frames
were enabled.

Jeff (me) fixes a warning found on PPC where the use of do_div() needed
to use u64 arg and not s64.

Mark provides three ixgbe patches, first to fix the Intel On-chip System
Fabric (IOSF) Sideband message interfaces, to serialize access using both
PHY bits in the SWFW_SEMAPHORE register.  Then fixes how semaphore bits
were released, since they should be released in reverse of the order that
they were taken.  Lastly updates ixgbe to use a signed type to hold
error codes, since error codes are negative, so consistently use signed
types when handling them.

    feedback from Or Gerlitz (and David Miller) that it appears there
    needs to be further discussion on how this gets implemented.

Currently subscriber's lock protects not only subscriber's subscription
list but also all subscriptions linked into the list. However, as all
members of subscription are never changed after they are initialized,
it's unnecessary for subscription to be protected under subscriber's
lock. If the lock is used to only protect subscriber's subscription
list, the adjustment not only makes the locking policy simpler, but
also helps to avoid a deadlock which may happen once creating a
subscription is failed.

At present subscriber's lock is used to protect the subscription list
of subscriber as well as subscriptions linked into the list. While one
or all subscriptions are deleted through iterating the list, the
subscriber's lock must be held. Meanwhile, as deletion of subscription
may happen in subscription timer's handler, the lock must be grabbed
in the function as well. When subscription's timer is terminated with
del_timer_sync() during above iteration, subscriber's lock has to be
temporarily released, otherwise, deadlock may occur. However, the
temporary release may cause the double free of a subscription as the
subscription is not disconnected from the subscription list.

Now if a reference counter is introduced to subscriber, subscription's
timer can be asynchronously stopped with del_timer(). As a result, the
issue is not only able to be fixed, but also relevant code is pretty
readable and understandable.

When a topology server accepts a connection request from its client,
it allocates a connection instance and a tipc_subscriber structure
object. The former is used to communicate with client, and the latter
is often treated as a subscriber which manages all subscription events
requested from a same client. When a topology server receives a request
of subscribing name services from a client through the connection, it
creates a tipc_subscription structure instance which is seen as a
subscription recording what name services are subscribed. In order to
manage all subscriptions from a same client, topology server links
them into the subscrp_list of the subscriber. So subscriber and
subscription completely represents different meanings respectively,
but function names associated with them make us so confused that we
are unable to easily tell which function is against subscriber and
which is to subscription. So we want to eliminate the confusion by
renaming them.

Exporting IGMP/MLD checking from bridge code

When the VLAN_HLEN was added to the calculation for the maximum frame size
there seems to have been a number of issues added to the driver.

The first issue is that in some cases the maximum frame size for a device
never really reached the actual maximum frame size as the VLAN header
length was not included the calculation for that value.  As a result some
parts only supported a maximum frame size of either 1496 in the case of
parts that didn't support jumbo frames, and 8996 in the case of the parts
that do.

The second issue is the fact that there were several checks that weren't
updated so as a result setting an MTU of 1500 was treated as enabling jumbo
frames as the calculated value was 1522 instead of 1518.  I have addressed
those by replacing ETH_FRAME_LEN with VLAN_ETH_FRAME_LEN where appropriate.

The final issue was the fact that lowering the MTU below 1500 would cause
the driver to allocate 2K buffers for the rings.  This is an old issue that
was fixed several years ago in igb/ixgbe and I am addressing now by just
replacing == with a <= so that we always just round up to 1522 for anything
that isn't a jumbo frame.
