With large BDP TCP flows and lossy networks, it is very important
to keep a low number of skbs in the write queue.

RACK and SACK processing can perform a linear scan of it.

We should avoid putting any payload in skb->head, so that SACK
shifting can be done if needed.

With this patch, we allow to pack ~0.5 MB per skb instead of
the 64KB initially cooked at tcp_sendmsg() time.

This gives a reduction of number of skbs in write queue by eight.
tcp_rack_detect_loss() likes this.

We still allow payload in skb->head for first skb put in the queue,
to not impact RPC workloads.

mlx5e Order-0 pages for Striding RQ

In this series, we refactor our Striding RQ receive-flow to always use
fragmented WQEs (Work Queue Elements) using order-0 pages, omitting the
flow that allocates and splits high-order pages which would fragment
and deplete high-order pages in the system.

The first patch gives a slight degradation, but opens the opportunity
to using a simple page-cache mechanism of a fair size.
The page-cache, implemented in patch 3, not only closes the performance
gap but even gives a gain.
In patch 2 we re-organize the code to better manage the calls for
alloc/de-alloc pages in the RX flow.

Instead of reallocating and mapping pages for RX data-path,
recycle already used pages in a per ring cache.

Performance tests:
The following results were measured on a freshly booted system,
giving optimal baseline performance, as high-order pages are yet to
be fragmented and depleted.

We ran pktgen single-stream benchmarks, with iptables-raw-drop:

Single stride, 64 bytes:
* 4,739,057 - baseline
* 4,749,550 - order0 no cache
* 4,786,899 - order0 with cache

* 3,982,361 - baseline
* 3,845,682 - order0 no cache
* 4,127,852 - order0 with cache
3.7% gain

To improve the memory consumption scheme, we omit the flow that
demands and splits high-order pages in Striding RQ, and stay
with a single Striding RQ flow that uses order-0 pages.

Moving to fragmented memory allows the use of larger MPWQEs,
which reduces the number of UMR posts and filler CQEs.

Moving to a single flow allows several optimizations that improve
performance, especially in production servers where we would
anyway fallback to order-0 allocations:
- inline functions that were called via function pointers.
- improve the UMR post process.

This patch alone is expected to give a slight performance reduction.
However, the new memory scheme gives the possibility to use a page-cache
of a fair size, that doesn't inflate the memory footprint, which will
dramatically fix the reduction and even give a performance gain.

When skb replaces another one in ooo queue, I forgot to also
update tp->ooo_last_skb as well, if the replaced skb was the last one
in the queue.

To fix this, we simply can re-use the code that runs after an insertion,
trying to merge skbs at the right of current skb.

This not only fixes the bug, but also remove all small skbs that might
be a subset of the new one.

Example:

We receive segments 2001:3001,  4001:5001

Then we receive 2001:8001 : We should replace 2001:3001 with the big
skb, but also remove 4001:50001 from the queue to save space.

rxrpc: Support IPv6

Here is a set of patches that add IPv6 support.  They need to be applied on
top of the just-posted miscellaneous fix patches.  They are:

 (1) Make autobinding of an unconnected socket work when sendmsg() is
     called to initiate a client call.

 (2) Don't specify the protocol when creating the client socket, but rather
     take the default instead.

 (3) Use rxrpc_extract_addr_from_skb() in a couple of places that were
     doing the same thing manually.  This allows the IPv6 address
     extraction to be done in fewer places.

 (4) Add IPv6 support.  With this, calls can be made to IPv6 servers from

rxrpc: Miscellaneous fixes

Here's a set of miscellaneous fix patches.  There are a couple of points of
note:

 (1) There is one non-fix patch that adjusts the call ref tracking
     tracepoint to make kernel API-held refs on calls more obvious.  This
     is a prerequisite for the patch that fixes prealloc refcounting.

 (2) The final patch alters how jumbo packets that partially exceed the
     receive window are handled.  Previously, space was being left in the
     Rx buffer for them, but this significantly hurts performance as the Rx
     window can't be increased to match the OpenAFS Tx window size.

     Instead, the excess subpackets are discarded and an EXCEEDS_WINDOW ACK
     is generated for the first.  To avoid the problem of someone trying to
     run the kernel out of space by feeding the kernel a series of
     overlapping maximal jumbo packets, we stop allowing jumbo packets on a
     call if we encounter more than three jumbo packets with duplicate or
     excessive subpackets.

The ovs kernel data path currently defers the execution of all
recirc actions until stack utilization is at a minimum.
This is too limiting for some packet forwarding scenarios due to
the small size of the deferred action FIFO (10 entries). For
example, broadcast traffic sent out more than 10 ports with
recirculation results in packet drops when the deferred action
FIFO becomes full, as reported here:

     http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2016-March/067672.html

Since the current recursion depth is available (it is already tracked
by the exec_actions_level pcpu variable), we can use it to determine
whether to execute recirculation actions immediately (safe when
recursion depth is low) or defer execution until more stack space is
available.

With this change, the deferred action fifo size becomes a non-issue
for currently failing scenarios because it is no longer used when
there are three or fewer recursions through ovs_execute_actions().
