Ideally, we would need to generate IP ID using a per destination IP
generator.

linux kernels used inet_peer cache for this purpose, but this had a huge
cost on servers disabling MTU discovery.

1) each inet_peer struct consumes 192 bytes

2) inetpeer cache uses a binary tree of inet_peer structs,
   with a nominal size of ~66000 elements under load.

3) lookups in this tree are hitting a lot of cache lines, as tree depth
   is about 20.

4) If server deals with many tcp flows, we have a high probability of
   not finding the inet_peer, allocating a fresh one, inserting it in
   the tree with same initial ip_id_count, (cf secure_ip_id())

5) We garbage collect inet_peer aggressively.

IP ID generation do not have to be 'perfect'

Goal is trying to avoid duplicates in a short period of time,
so that reassembly units have a chance to complete reassembly of
fragments belonging to one message before receiving other fragments
with a recycled ID.

We simply use an array of generators, and a Jenkin hash using the dst IP
as a key.

ipv6_select_ident() is put back into net/ipv6/ip6_output.c where it
belongs (it is only used from this file)

secure_ip_id() and secure_ipv6_id() no longer are needed.

Rename ip_select_ident_more() to ip_select_ident_segs() to avoid
unnecessary decrement/increment of the number of segments.

Provide common means for device address sync

The following series implements a means for synchronizing both unicast and
multicast addresses on a device interface.  The code is based on the original
implementation of dev_uc_sync that was available for syncing a VLAN to the
lower dev.

The original reason for coming up for this patch is a driver that is still in
the early stages of development.  The nearest driver I could find that
appeared to have the same limitations as the driver I was working on was the
Cisco enic driver.  For this reason I chose it as the first driver to make use
of this interface publicly.

However, I do not have a Cisco enic interface so I have only been able to
compile test any changes made to the driver.  I tried to keep this change as
simple as possible to avoid any issues.  Any help with testing would be
greatly appreciated.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This change updates the enic driver to make use of __dev_uc_sync and
__dev_mc_sync calls.  Previously the driver was doing its own list
management by storing the mc_addr and uc_addr list in a 32 address array.
With this change the sync data is stored in the netdev_addr_list structures
and instead we just track how many addresses we have written to the device.
When we encounter 32 we stop and print a message as occurred previously with
the old approach.

Other than the core change the only other bit needed was to propagate the
constant attribute with the MAC address as there were several spots where
is twas only passed as a u8 * instead of a const u8 *.

This patch is meant to maintain the original functionality without the use
of the mc_addr and uc_addr arrays.

essentially do the same thing but with only one dev I simply named my
functions __dev_uc_sync/__dev_mc_sync.

I also implemented an unsync version of the functions as well to allow for
cleanup on close.

Commit 9739eef1 ("net: filter: make BPF conversion more readable")
started to introduce helper macros similar to BPF_STMT()/BPF_JUMP()
macros from classic BPF.

However, quite some statements in the filter conversion functions
remained in the old style which gives a mixture of block macros and
non block macros in the code. This patch makes the block macros itself
more readable by using explicit member initialization, and converts
the remaining ones where possible to remain in a more consistent state.

This patch finally allows us to get rid of the BPF_S_* enum.
Currently, the code performs unnecessary encode and decode
workarounds in seccomp and filter migration itself when a filter
is being attached in order to overcome BPF_S_* encoding which
is not used anymore by the new interpreter resp. JIT compilers.

Keeping it around would mean that also in future we would need
to extend and maintain this enum and related encoders/decoders.
We can get rid of all that and save us these operations during
filter attaching. Naturally, also JIT compilers need to be updated
by this.

Before JIT conversion is being done, each compiler checks if A
is being loaded at startup to obtain information if it needs to
emit instructions to clear A first. Since BPF extensions are a
subset of BPF_LD | BPF_{W,H,B} | BPF_ABS variants, case statements
for extensions can be removed at that point. To ease and minimalize
code changes in the classic JITs, we have introduced bpf_anc_helper().

Tested with test_bpf on x86_64 (JIT, int), s390x (JIT, int),
arm (JIT, int), i368 (int), ppc64 (JIT, int); for sparc we
unfortunately didn't have access, but changes are analogous to

cpumask,net: Affinity hint helper function

This patchset will set affinity hint to influence IRQs to be allocated on the
same NUMA node as the one where the card resides. As discussed in
http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg271497.html

If the number of IRQs allocated is greater than the number of local NUMA cores, all
local cores will be used first, and the rest of the IRQs will be on a remote
NUMA node.
If no NUMA support - IRQ's and cores will be mapped 1:1

Since the utility function to calculate the mapping could be useful in other mq
drivers in the kernel, it was added to cpumask.[ch]

This patchset was tested and applied on top of net-next since the first
consumer is a network device (mlx4_en).  Over commit 506724c4: "tg3: Override
clock, link aware and link idle mode during NVRAM dump"

The “affinity hint” mechanism is used by the user space
daemon, irqbalancer, to indicate a preferred CPU mask for irqs.
Irqbalancer can use this hint to balance the irqs between the
cpus indicated by the mask.

We wish the HCA to preferentially map the IRQs it uses to numa cores
close to it.  To accomplish this, we use cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(), that
sets the affinity hint according the following policy:
First it maps IRQs to “close” numa cores.  If these are exhausted, the
remaining IRQs are mapped to “far” numa cores.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates

This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf.

Kevin updates the i40e and i40evf driver i40e_check_asq_alive() to ensure
the length register offset is non-zero which indicates that the software
has initialized the admin queue.  Also removes PCTYPE definitions which are
now reserved.

Mitch enables descriptor prefetch for rings belonging to the virtual function.
Also configures the VF minimum transmit rate to 50 Mbps rather than 0 which was
be interpreted as no limit at all.  Mitch found in order for the VF to achieve
its programmed transmit rate, we need to set the max credit value to 4.
Lastly fixes a Tx hang and firmware crash that happens after setting the MTU
on a VF by not using the RESETTING state during reinit, this is because
the RESETTING state means that a catastrophic hardware bad thing is happening
and the driver needs to tiptoe around and not use the admin queue or registers.
A reinit is no big deal and we can use the admin queue (and we should) so
do not set the state to RESETTING during reinit to resolve the bug.

Akeem changes the declaration of the transmit and receive rings inside
several loops to eliminate declaring the same ring every time for the
duration of the loop and declares them just once before the loop.  Also fixes
the driver to clear the recovery pending bit if pf_reset fails instead of
falling through the setup process.

Anjali makes a change based on feedback from Ben Hutchings that cmd->data
needs to be reported in ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLCNT and use a helper function to
calculate the total filter count.

Jesse removes storm control since the storm control features are not apart
of the hardware and were mistakenly left in the code.

Greg changes tx_lpi_status and rx_lpi_status from bool to u32 to avoid
sparse errors.

Shannon adds the clear_pxe AdminQ API call to tell the firmware that the
driver is taking over from PXE.  In addition, relaxes the firmware API
check to allow more flexibility in handling newer NICs and NVMs in the field.

Vasu ensures that FCoE is disabled for MFP modes since it is not supported
by overriding the hardware FCoE capability.

the value of interest using base_status() and addl_status() macros.

b) Rename variables accordingly (base/addl) to avoid confusion while error
checking.
