Bulk free of SKBs happen transparently by the API call napi_consume_skb().
The napi budget parameter is usually needed by napi_consume_skb()
to detect if called from netpoll.  In this patch it has an extra meaning.

For mlx4 driver, the mlx4_en_stop_port() call is done outside
NAPI/softirq context, and cleanup the entire TX ring via
mlx4_en_free_tx_buf().  The code mlx4_en_free_tx_desc() for
freeing SKBs are shared with NAPI calls.

To handle this shared use the zero budget indication is reused,
and handled appropriately in napi_consume_skb(). To reflect this,
variable is called napi_mode for the function call that needed
this distinction.

Some drivers reuse/share code paths that free SKBs between NAPI
and non-NAPI calls. Adjust napi_consume_skb to handle this
use-case.

Before, calls from netpoll (w/ IRQs disabled) was handled and
indicated with a budget zero indication.  Use the same zero
indication to handle calls not originating from NAPI/softirq.
Simply handled by using dev_consume_skb_any().

This adds an extra branch+call for the netpoll case (checking
in_irq() + irqs_disabled()), but that is okay as this is a slowpath.

Currently sctp_sendmsg() triggers some calls that will allocate memory
with GFP_ATOMIC even when not necessary. In the case of
sctp_packet_transmit it will allocate a linear skb that will be used to
construct the packet and this may cause sends to fail due to ENOMEM more
often than anticipated specially with big MTUs.

This patch thus allows it to inherit gfp flags from upper calls so that
it can use GFP_KERNEL if it was triggered by a sctp_sendmsg call or
similar. All others, like retransmits or flushes started from BH, are
still allocated using GFP_ATOMIC.

In netperf tests this didn't result in any performance drawbacks when
memory is not too fragmented and made it trigger ENOMEM way less often.

When we want to change a flow using netlink, we have to identify it to
be able to perform a lookup. Both the flow key and unique flow ID
(ufid) are valid identifiers, but we always have to specify the flow
key in the netlink message. When both attributes are there, the ufid
is used. The flow key is used to validate the actions provided by
the userland.

This commit allows to use the ufid without having to provide the flow
key, as it is already done in the netlink 'flow get' and 'flow del'
path. The flow key remains mandatory when an action is provided.

As on the older EMAC version, on GMAC, this switch is set by default to the
non-reduced type of interface, so use the existing capability and extend it to
GMII as well. We then keep the current logic in the macb_init() function.

xen-netback: fix multiple extra info handling

If a frontend passes multiple extra info fragments to netback on the guest
transmit side, because xen-netback does not account for this properly, only
a single ack response will be sent. This will eventually cause processing
of the shared ring to wedge.

This series re-imports the canonical netif.h from Xen, where the ring

possibly being stashed in pending_tx_info for deferred responses).

The canonical netif header (in the Xen source repo) and the Linux variant
have diverged significantly. Recently much documentation has been added to
the canonical header which is highly useful for developers making
modifications to either xen-netfront or xen-netback. This patch therefore
re-imports the canonical header in its entirity.

post-processed and copied into place with the following commands:

prior to this patch, at the beginning if we have two paths in one assoc,
they may have the same params other than the last_time_heard, it will try
the paths like this:

1st cycle
  try trans1 fail.
  then trans2 is selected.(cause it's last_time_heard is after trans1).

2nd cycle:
  try  trans2 fail
  then trans2 is selected.(cause it's last_time_heard is after trans1).

3rd cycle:
  try  trans2 fail
  then trans2 is selected.(cause it's last_time_heard is after trans1).

....

trans1 will never have change to be selected, which is not what we expect.
we should keeping round robin all the paths if they are just added at the
beginning.

So at first every tranport's last_time_heard should be initialized 0, so
that we ensure they have the same value at the beginning, only by this,
all the transports could get equal chance to be selected.

Then for sctp_trans_elect_best, it should return the trans_next one when
*trans == *trans_next, so that we can try next if it fails,  but now it
always return trans. so we can fix it by exchanging these two params when
we calls sctp_trans_elect_tie().

The code for csum_block_add was doing a funky byteswap to swap the even and
odd bytes of the checksum if the offset was odd.  Instead of doing this we
can save ourselves some trouble and just shift by 8 as this should have the
same effect in terms of the final checksum value and only requires one
instruction.

In addition we can update csum_block_sub to just use csum_block_add with a
inverse value for csum2.  This way we follow the same code path as
csum_block_add without having to duplicate it.

This patch updates the GRO handlers for GRE, VXLAN, GENEVE, and FOU so that
we do not clear the flush bit until after we have called the next level GRO
handler.  Previously this was being cleared before parsing through the list
of frames, however this resulted in several paths where either the bit
needed to be reset but wasn't as in the case of FOU, or cases where it was
being set as in GENEVE.  By just deferring the clearing of the bit until
after the next level protocol has been parsed we can avoid any unnecessary
bit twiddling and avoid bugs.

Driver interaction with the managemnt firmware is done via mailbox
commands which the management firmware periodically sample, as well
as placing of additional data in set places in the shared memory.
Each PF has a single designated mailbox address, and all flows that
require messaging to the management should use it.

This patch does 2 things:
 1. It re-defines the critical section surrounding the mailbox sending -
that section should include the setting of the shared memory as well as
the sending of the command [otherwise a race might send a command with
the data of a different command].
 2. It moves the locking scheme from using mutices into using spinlocks.
This lays the groundwork for sending MFW commands from non-sleepable

cls_flower hardware offload support

Please see changes from V2 at the bottom.

This patchset introduces cls_flower hardware offload support over ConnectX-4
driver, more hardware vendors are welcome to use it too.

This patchset is based on John's infrastructure for tc offloading [2] to add
hardware offload support to the flower filter. It also extends the support to
an additional tc action - skbedit mark operation.
NIC driver that was used is ConnectX-4. Feature is off by default and could be
turned on using ethtool.

Some commands to use this code:

export TC=../iproute2/tc/tc
export ETH=ens9

ethtool  -K ens9 hw-tc-offload on

$TC qdisc add dev $ETH ingress

$TC filter add dev $ETH protocol ip prio 20 parent ffff: \
	flower ip_proto 1 \
	dst_mac 7c:fe:90:69:81:62 \
	src_mac 7c:fe:90:69:81:56 \
	dst_ip 11.11.11.11 \
	src_ip 11.11.11.12 \
	indev $ETH \
	action drop

$TC filter add dev $ETH protocol ip prio 30 parent ffff: \
	flower ip_proto 6 \
	indev $ETH \
	action skbedit mark 0x1234

$TC filter add dev $ETH protocol ip prio 10 parent ffff: \
	handle 0x1234 fw action pass

The code was tested and applied on top of commit 3ebeac1d ("Merge branch
'cxgb4-next'")

Changes from V2:
- patch 1/10 ("net/flower: Introduce hardware offload support")
  - Remove unused variable [Dave]
  - Don't fail command when HW can't offload filter [John]
- patch 3/10 ("net/sched: Macro instead of CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT ifdef")

- patch 8/10 ("net/mlx5e: Introduce tc offload support")
  - make mlx5e_tc_add_flow() static

Changes from V1:

Changes from V0:
- Use tc_no_actions and tc_for_each_action instead of ifdef CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT
- Replace ENOTSUPP (and some EINVAL) with EOPNOTSUPP
- Name the flower command enum
- fl_hw_destroy_filter() to return void - nobody uses the return value

- act_skbedit, act_gact
  - Actions are not serialized to NIC driver, instead using access functions.
- cls_flower

  - Fixed some bugs in original RFC with rule delete
- mlx5
