ethtool: correct {GS}CHANNELS and {GS}RXFH conflict

This patch series fixes up ethtool_set_channels operation which
allowed modifying the RXFH table indirectly by reducing the number of
queues below the current max queue used by the Rx flow table. Most
drivers incorrectly allowed this to destroy the Rx flow table and
would then start by reinitializing it to default settings. However,
drivers are not able to correctly handle the conflict since there was
no way to differentiate between the default settings and the user
requested explicit settings.

To fix this, implement a new netdev private flag which we use to
indicate whether the RXFH has been user configured. If someone has
a better alternative of how to store this information, let me know.
I am not sure that priv_flags is the best solution but I have not had
any better idea.

Secondly, we add a function which just calls the driver's get_rxfh
callback to determine the current indirection table. Loop through this
and we can determine the current highest queue that will be used by
RSS.

Now, modify ethtool_set_channels to add a check ensuring that if (a)
we have had rxfh configured by user, (b) we can get the maximum RSS
queue currently used, then we ensure that the newly requested Rx count
(or combined count) is at least as high as this maximum RSS queue. The
reasoning here is that we can always safely increase the number of
queues. If we decrease the queues we must ensure that the decrease
does not go lower than the highest in-use queue for the Rx flow table.

Drivers may still need to be patched if they currently overwrite the
Rx flow table during channel configuration. If the driver currently
always resets Rx flow table when increasing number of queues it must
be patched to only do this when netif_is_rxfh_configured returns
false.

The second patch simply adds a check to ensure that all provided
channel counts fit within driver defined maximums.

The third patch fixes fm10k to correctly reconfigure the RSS reta
table whenever it is still unconfigured. This means that the default
state will provide RSS to every queue. Once the user has configured
RXFH, then we should maintain it. In addition, since the case where we
must reconfigure the RSS table in this case should now no longer
occur, add a dev_err message to indicate the user that we did so.

I have also supplied an ethtool patch to enable setting the default Rx
flow indirection table. Without this, current ethtool does not support
sending an indir_size of 0, and thus does not correctly support
configuring back to the default.

Changes in v2:
* fixed compile error
* fixed incorrect comparison with max_rx_in_use
* adjusted looping over dev_size
* removed inline on function
* dropped patch about separating combined vs asymmetric channels
* verified behavior using fm10k driver

Ethernet drivers implementing both {GS}RXFH and {GS}CHANNELS ethtool ops
incorrectly allow SCHANNELS when it would conflict with the settings
from SRXFH. This occurs because it is not possible for drivers to
understand whether their Rx flow indirection table has been configured
or is in the default state. In addition, drivers currently behave in
various ways when increasing the number of Rx channels.

Some drivers will always destroy the Rx flow indirection table when this
occurs, whether it has been set by the user or not. Other drivers will
attempt to preserve the table even if the user has never modified it
from the default driver settings. Neither of these situation is
desirable because it leads to unexpected behavior or loss of user
configuration.

The correct behavior is to simply return -EINVAL when SCHANNELS would
conflict with the current Rx flow table settings. However, it should
only do so if the current settings were modified by the user. If we
required that the new settings never conflict with the current (default)
Rx flow settings, we would force users to first reduce their Rx flow
settings and then reduce the number of Rx channels.

This patch proposes a solution implemented in net/core/ethtool.c which
ensures that all drivers behave correctly. It checks whether the RXFH
table has been configured to non-default settings, and stores this
information in a private netdev flag. When the number of channels is
requested to change, it first ensures that the current Rx flow table is
not going to assign flows to now disabled channels.

The arithmetic properties of the ones-complement checksum mean that a
 correctly checksummed inner packet, including its checksum, has a ones
 complement sum depending only on whatever value was used to initialise
 the checksum field before checksumming (in the case of TCP and UDP,
 this is the ones complement sum of the pseudo header, complemented).
Consequently, if we are going to offload the inner checksum with
 CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, we can compute the outer checksum based only on the
 packed data not covered by the inner checksum, and the initial value of
 the inner checksum field.

tcp/dccp: better use of ephemeral ports

Big servers have bloated bind table, making very hard to succeed
ephemeral port allocations, without special containers/namespace tricks.

This patch series extends the strategy added in commit 07f4c900
("tcp/dccp: try to not exhaust ip_local_port_range in connect()").

Since ports used by connect() are much likely to be shared among them,
we give a hint to both bind() and connect() to keep the crowds separated
if possible.

Of course, if on a specific host an application needs to allocate ~30000
ports using bind(), it will still be able to do so. Same for ~30000 connect()
to a unique 2-tuple (dst addr, dst port)

New implemetation is also more friendly to softirqs and reschedules.

In commit 07f4c900 ("tcp/dccp: try to not exhaust ip_local_port_range
in connect()"), I added a very simple heuristic, so that we got better
chances to use even ports, and allow bind() users to have more available
slots.

It gave nice results, but with more than 200,000 TCP sessions on a typical
server, the ~30,000 ephemeral ports are still a rare resource.

I chose to go a step further, by looking at all even ports, and if none
was available, fallback to odd ports.

The companion patch does the same in bind(), but in opposite way.

I've seen exec times of up to 30ms on busy servers, so I no longer
disable BH for the whole traversal, but only for each hash bucket.
I also call cond_resched() to be gentle to other tasks.

net: mitigating kmem_cache free slowpath

This patchset is the first real use-case for kmem_cache bulk _free_.
The use of bulk _alloc_ is NOT included in this patchset. The full use
have previously been posted here [1].

The bulk free side have the largest benefit for the network stack
use-case, because network stack is hitting the kmem_cache/SLUB
slowpath when freeing SKBs, due to the amount of outstanding SKBs.
This is solved by using the new API kmem_cache_free_bulk().

Introduce new API napi_consume_skb(), that hides/handles bulk freeing
for the caller.  The drivers simply need to use this call when freeing
SKBs in NAPI context, e.g. replacing their calles to dev_kfree_skb() /
dev_consume_skb_any().

Driver ixgbe is the first user of this new API.

There is an opportunity to bulk free SKBs during reclaiming of
resources after DMA transmit completes in ixgbe_clean_tx_irq.  Thus,
bulk freeing at this point does not introduce any added latency.

Simply use napi_consume_skb() which were recently introduced.  The
napi_budget parameter is needed by napi_consume_skb() to detect if it
is called from netpoll.

The network stack defers SKBs free, in-case free happens in IRQ or
when IRQs are disabled. This happens in __dev_kfree_skb_irq() that
writes SKBs that were free'ed during IRQ to the softirq completion
queue (softnet_data.completion_queue).

These SKBs are naturally delayed, and cleaned up during NET_TX_SOFTIRQ
in function net_tx_action().  Take advantage of this a use the skb
defer and flush API, as we are already in softirq context.

For modern drivers this rarely happens. Although most drivers do call
dev_kfree_skb_any(), which detects the situation and calls
__dev_kfree_skb_irq() when needed.  This due to netpoll can call from
IRQ context.

Discovered that network stack were hitting the kmem_cache/SLUB
slowpath when freeing SKBs.  Doing bulk free with kmem_cache_free_bulk
can speedup this slowpath.

NAPI context is a bit special, lets take advantage of that for bulk
free'ing SKBs.

In NAPI context we are running in softirq, which gives us certain
protection.  A softirq can run on several CPUs at once.  BUT the
important part is a softirq will never preempt another softirq running
on the same CPU.  This gives us the opportunity to access per-cpu
variables in softirq context.

Extend napi_alloc_cache (before only contained page_frag_cache) to be
a struct with a small array based stack for holding SKBs.  Introduce a
SKB defer and flush API for accessing this.

Introduce napi_consume_skb() as replacement for e.g. dev_consume_skb_any()
when running in NAPI context.  A small trick to handle/detect if we
are called from netpoll is to see if budget is 0.  In that case, we
need to invoke dev_consume_skb_irq().
