Two arrays are clearly bit maps, so, make that explicit by converting to
bitmap API and remove custom helpers.
Note sig_ind() uses out of boundary bit to (looks like) protect against
potential bitmap_empty() checks for the same bitmap.
This patch removes that since:
1) that didn't guarantee atomicity anyway;
2) the first operation inside the for-loop is set bit in the bitmap
(which effectively makes it non-empty);
3) group_optimization() doesn't utilize possible emptiness of the bitmap
in question.
Thus, if there is a protection needed it should be implemented properly.

This patch adjusts the timeout formula to schedule the TCP loss probe
(TLP). The previous formula uses 2*SRTT or 1.5*RTT + DelayACKMax if
only one packet is in flight. It keeps a lower bound of 10 msec which
is too large for short RTT connections (e.g. within a data-center).
The new formula = 2*RTT + (inflight == 1 ? 200ms : 2ticks) which
performs better for short and fast connections.

When calling the flow_free() to free the flow, we call many times
(cpu_possible_mask, eg. 128 as default) cpumask_next(). That will
take up our CPU usage if we call the flow_free() frequently.
When we put all packets to userspace via upcall, and OvS will send
them back via netlink to ovs_packet_cmd_execute(will call flow_free).
The test topo is shown as below. VM01 sends TCP packets to VM02,
and OvS forward packtets. When testing, we use perf to report the
system performance.
VM01 --- OvS-VM --- VM02
Without this patch, perf-top show as below: The flow_free() is
3.02% CPU usage.
4.23% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore

With this patch, the TCP throughput(we dont use Megaflow Cache
+ Microflow Cache) between VMs is 1.18Gbs/sec up to 1.30Gbs/sec
(maybe ~10% performance imporve).
This patch adds cpumask struct, the cpu_used_mask stores the cpu_id
that the flow used. And we only check the flow_stats on the cpu we
used, and it is unncessary to check all possible cpu when getting,
cleaning, and updating the flow_stats. Adding the cpu_used_mask to
sw_flow struct does’t increase the cacheline number.

liquidio: avoid vm low memory crashes
This patchset addresses issues brought about by low memory conditions
in a VM. These conditions were not seen when the driver was exercised
normally. Rather, they were brought about through manual fault injection.
They are being included in the interest of hardening the driver against
unforeseen circumstances.
1. Fix GPF in octeon_init_droq(); zero the allocated block 'recv_buf_list'.
This prevents a GPF trying to access an invalid 'recv_buf_list[i]' entry
in octeon_droq_destroy_ring_buffers() if init didn't alloc all entries.
2. Don't dereference a NULL ptr in octeon_droq_destroy_ring_buffers().
3. For defensive programming, zero the allocated block 'oct->droq' in
octeon_setup_output_queues() and 'oct->instr_queue' in
octeon_setup_instr_queues().

mlxsw: Preparations for IPv6 UC router
Ido says:
The purpose of this set is to prepare the driver for the introduction of
IPv6 FIB offload. It's mainly composed of small and non-functional
changes, that either add the IPv6 equivalent of existing IPv4 code or
aimed at making the introduction of IPv6-specific code easier.
The first five patches enable IPv6 forwarding in the device and allow us
to configure router interfaces (RIFs) based on inet6addr notifications.
The next six patches add support for programming IPv6 neighbours into
the device's table as well as dumping their activity and updating the
kernel accordingly.
The last 11 patches extend current infrastructure to allow us to program
IPv6 routes, set catch-all IPv6 trap in case of abort and make the code
more receptive towards up-coming changes.

from the device's neighbour table.

As with IPv4, listen to NEIGH_UPDATE events from the ndisc table and
program relevant neighbours to the device's neighbour table.
Note that neighbours with a link-local IP address aren't programmed, as
packets with a link-local destination IP are trapped after LPM lookup
and never reach the neighbour table.
