      ====================
      Receive packets filtering for macb driver
      
      This patch series adds support for receive packets
      filtering for Cadence GEM driver. Packets can be redirect
      to different hardware queues based on source IP, destination IP,
      source port or destination port. To enable filtering,
      support for RX queueing was added as well.

      Rafal Ozieblo authored
      To be able for packet reception on different RX queues some
      configuration has to be performed. This patch checks how many
      hardware queue does GEM support and initializes them.

      vmxnet3: increase default rx ring sizes · 7475908f
      Shrikrishna Khare authored
      There are several reasons for increasing the receive ring sizes:
      
      1. The original ring size of 256 was chosen about 10 years ago when
      vmxnet3 was first created. At that time, 10Gbps Ethernet was not prevalent
      and servers were dominated by 1Gbps Ethernet. Now 10Gbps is common place,
      and higher bandwidth links -- 25Gbps, 40Gbps, 50Gbps -- are starting
      to appear. 256 Rx ring entries are simply not enough to keep up with
      higher link speed when there is a burst of network frames coming from
      these high speed links. Even with full MTU size frames, they are gone
      in a short time. It is also more common to have a mix of frame sizes,
      and more likely bi-modal distribution of frame sizes so the average frame
      size is not close to full MTU. If we consider average frame size of 800B,
      1024 frames that come in a burst takes ~0.65 ms to arrive at 10Gbps. With
      256 entires, it takes ~0.16 ms to arrive at 10Gbps.  At 25Gbps or 40Gbps,
      this time is reduced accordingly.
      
      2. On a hypervisor where there are many VMs and CPU is over committed,
      i.e. the number of VCPUs is more than the number of VCPUs, each PCPU is
      in effect time shared between multiple VMs/VCPUs. The time granularity at
      which this multiplexing occurs is typically coarser than between processes
      on a guest OS. Trying to time slice more finely is not efficient, for
      example, if memory cache is barely warmed up when switching from one VM
      to another occurs. This CPU overcommit adds delay to when the driver
      in a VM can service incoming packets. Whether CPU is over committed
      really depends on customer workloads. For certain situations, it is very
      common. For example, workloads of desktop VMs and product testing setups.
      Consolidation and sharing is what drives efficiency of a customer setup
      for such workloads. In these situations, the raw network bandwidth may
      not be very high, but the delays between when a VM is running or not
      running can also be relatively long.

      net/reuseport: drop legacy code · e94a62f5
      Paolo Abeni authored
      Since commit e32ea7e7 ("soreuseport: fast reuseport UDP socket
      selection") and commit c125e80b ("soreuseport: fast reuseport
      TCP socket selection") the relevant reuseport socket matching the current
      packet is selected by the reuseport_select_sock() call. The only
      exceptions are invalid BPF filters/filters returning out-of-range
      indices.
      In the latter case the code implicitly falls back to using the hash
      demultiplexing, but instead of selecting the socket inside the
      reuseport_select_sock() function, it relies on the hash selection
      logic introduced with the early soreuseport implementation.
      
      With this patch, in case of a BPF filter returning a bad socket
      index value, we fall back to hash-based selection inside the
      reuseport_select_sock() body, so that we can drop some duplicate
      code in the ipv4 and ipv6 stack.
      
      This also allows faster lookup in the above scenario and will allow
      us to avoid computing the hash value for successful, BPF based
      demultiplexing - in a later patch.

      Merge branch 'net-dst_entry-shrink' · 3d8068c5
      David S. Miller authored
      David Miller says:
      
      ====================
      net: Significantly shrink the size of routes.
      
      Through a combination of several things, our route structures are
      larger than they need to be.
      
      Mostly this stems from having members in dst_entry which are only used
      by one class of routes.  So the majority of the work in this series is
      about "un-commoning" these members and pushing them into the type
      specific structures.
      
      Unfortunately, IPSEC needed the most surgery.  The majority of the
      changes here had to do with bundle creation and management.
      
      The other issue is the refcount alignment in dst_entry.  Once we get
      rid of the not-so-common members, it really opens the door to removing
      that alignment entirely.
      
      I think the new layout looks really nice, so I'll reproduce it here:
      
      	struct net_device       *dev;
      	struct  dst_ops	        *ops;
      	unsigned long		_metrics;
      	unsigned long           expires;
      	struct xfrm_state	*xfrm;
      	int			(*input)(struct sk_buff *);
      	int			(*output)(struct net *net, struct sock *sk, struct sk_buff *skb);
      	unsigned short		flags;
      	short			obsolete;
      	unsigned short		header_len;
      	unsigned short		trailer_len;
      	atomic_t		__refcnt;
      	int			__use;
      	unsigned long		lastuse;
      	struct lwtunnel_state   *lwtstate;
      	struct rcu_head		rcu_head;
      	short			error;
      	short			__pad;
      	__u32			tclassid;
      
      (This is for 64-bit, on 32-bit the __refcnt comes at the very end)
      
      So, the good news:
      
      1) struct dst_entry shrinks from 160 to 112 bytes.
      
      2) struct rtable shrinks from 216 to 168 bytes.
      
      3) struct rt6_info shrinks from 384 to 320 bytes.
      
      Enjoy.
      
      v2:
      	Collapse some patches logically based upon feedback.
      	Fix the strange patch #7.
      
      v3:	xfrm_dst_path() needs inline keyword
      	Properly align __refcnt on 32-bit.
