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 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 fff1f59 "mac802154:

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 2014-06-11
This series contains updates to igb, i40e and i40evf.
Todd makes a change to igb to un-hide invariant returns by getting rid of
the E1000_SUCCESS define and converting those returns to return 0.
Jacob separates the hardware logic from the set function, so that we can
re-use it during a ptp_reset in igb. This enables the reset to return
functionality to the last know timestamp mode, rather than resetting the
value.
Ashish implements context flags for headwb and headwb_addr so that we
do not have to keep them always enabled.
Shannon updates the admin queue API for the new firmware, which adds
set_pf_content, nvm_config_read/write, replaces set_phy_reset with
set_phy_debug and removes nvm_read/write_reg_se. Cleans up the driver
to use the stored base_queue value since there is no need to read the
PCI register for the PF's base queue on every single transmit queue
enable and disable as we already have the value stored from reading
the capability features at startup.
Anjali changes the notion of source and destination for FD_SB in ethtool
to align i40e with other drivers. Adds flow director statistics to
the PF stats. Fixes a bug in ethtool for flow director drop packet
filter where the drop action comes down as a ring_cookie value, so allow
it as a special value that can be used to configure destination control.
Mitch fixes the i40evf to keep the driver from going down when it is
already in a down state. This prevents a CPU soft lock in napi_disable().
Also change the i40evf to check the admin queue error bits since the
firmware can indicate any admin queue error states to the driver via
some bits in the length registers.
Neerav separates out the DCB capability and enabled flags because currently
if the firmware reports DCB capability the driver enables
I40E_FLAG_DCB_ENABLED flag. When this flag is enabled the driver inserts
a tag when transmitting a packet from the port even if there are no DCB
traffic classes configured at the port. So by adding the additional flag,
I40E_FLAG_DCB_CAPABLE, that will be set when the DCB capability is present
and the existing enabled flag will only be set if there are more than one
traffic classes configured at the port.
Greg fixes the i40e driver to not automatically accept tagged packets by
default so that the system must request a VLAN tag packet filter to get
packets with that tag. Greg also converts i40e to use the in-kernel
ether_addr_copy() instead of mempcy().
Jesse removes the FTYPE field from the receive descriptor to match the
hardware implementation.

In function sctp_select_active_and_retran_path(), we walk the
transport list in order to look for the two most recently used
ACTIVE transports (trans_pri, trans_sec). In case we didn't find
anything ACTIVE, we currently just camp on a possibly PF or
INACTIVE transport that is primary path; this behavior actually
dates back to linux-history tree of the very early days of
lksctp, and can yield a behavior that chooses suboptimal
transport paths.
Instead, be a bit more clever by reusing and extending the
recently introduced sctp_trans_elect_best() handler. In case
both transports are evaluated to have the same score resulting
from their states, break the tie by looking at: 1) transport
patch error count 2) last_time_heard value from each transport.
This is analogous to Nishida's Quick Failover draft [1],
section 5.1, 3:
The sender SHOULD avoid data transmission to PF destinations.
When all destinations are in either PF or Inactive state,
the sender MAY either move the destination from PF to active
state (and transmit data to the active destination) or the
sender MAY transmit data to a PF destination. In the former
scenario, (i) the sender MUST NOT notify the ULP about the
state transition, and (ii) MUST NOT clear the destination's
error counter. It is recommended that the sender picks the
PF destination with least error count (fewest consecutive
timeouts) for data transmission. In case of a tie (multiple PF
destinations with same error count), the sender MAY choose the
last active destination.
Thus for sctp_select_active_and_retran_path(), we keep track of
the best, if any, transport that is in PF state and in case no
ACTIVE transport has been found (hence trans_{pri,sec} is NULL),
we select the best out of the three: current primary_path and
retran_path as well as a possible PF transport.
The secondary may still camp on the original primary_path as
before. The change in sctp_trans_elect_best() with a more fine
grained tie selection also improves at the same time path selection
for sctp_assoc_update_retran_path() in case of non-ACTIVE states.

This leads to a use-after-free access to the already freed mlx4_priv

.shutdown and .remove are called.
During reboot or kexec, .shutdown is called, with the VFs probed to
the host going through shutdown first and then the PF. Later, the PF
will trigger VFs' .remove since VFs still have driver attached.
Fix that by keeping only one driver entry which releases mlx4_priv.

The Hypervisor driver tracks free slots and reserved slots at the global level
and tracks allocated slots and guaranteed slots per VF.
Guaranteed slots are treated as reserved by the driver, so the total
reserved slots is the sum of all guaranteed slots over all the VFs.
As VFs allocate resources, free (global) is decremented and allocated (per VF)
is incremented for those resources. However, reserved (global) is never changed.
This means that effectively, when a VF allocates a resource from its
guaranteed pool, it is actually reducing that resource's free pool (since
the global reserved count was not also reduced).
The fix for this problem is the following: For each resource, as long as a
VF's allocated count is <= its guaranteed number, when allocating for that
VF, the reserved count (global) should be reduced by the allocation as well.
When the global reserved count reaches zero, the remaining global free count
is still accessible as the free pool for that resource.
When the VF frees resources, the reverse happens: the global reserved count
for a resource is incremented only once the VFs allocated number falls below
its guaranteed number.

'A' would mean two different things depending on context.
This patch is trying to clean up the naming and clarify its usage in the
following way:
- A and X are names of two classic BPF registers
- BPF_REG_A denotes internal BPF register R0 used to map classic register A
in internal BPF programs generated from classic
- BPF_REG_X denotes internal BPF register R7 used to map classic register X
in internal BPF programs generated from classic
- internal BPF instruction format:
struct sock_filter_int {
__u8 code; /* opcode */
__u8 dst_reg:4; /* dest register */
__u8 src_reg:4; /* source register */
__s16 off; /* signed offset */
__s32 imm; /* signed immediate constant */
};
- BPF_X/BPF_K is 1 bit used to encode source operand of instruction
In classic:
BPF_X - means use register X as source operand
BPF_K - means use 32-bit immediate as source operand
In internal:
BPF_X - means use 'src_reg' register as source operand
BPF_K - means use 32-bit immediate as source operand

bridge: multicast snooping patches / exports
The first patch is simply a cosmetic patch. So far I (and maybe others
too?) have been regularly confusing these two structs, therefore I'd
suggest renaming them and therefore making the follow-up patches easier
to understand and nicer to fit in.
The second patch fixes a minor issue, but probably not worth for stable.
On the other hand the first two patches are also preparations for the
third and fourth patch:
These two patches are exporting functionality needed to marry the bridge
multicast snooping with the batman-adv multicast optimizations recently
added for the 3.15 kernel, allowing to use these optimzations in common
setups having a bridge on top of e.g. bat0, too. So far these bridged
setups would fall back to simple flooding through the batman-adv mesh
network for any multicast packet entering bat0.
More information about the batman-adv multicast optimizations currently
implemented can be found here:
http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Basic-multicast-optimizations
The integration on the batman-adv side could afterwards look like this,

Adding bridge support to the batman-adv multicast optimization requires
batman-adv knowing about the existence of bridged-in IGMP/MLD queriers
to be able to reliably serve any multicast listener behind this same
bridge.

With this new, exported function br_multicast_list_adjacent(net_dev) a
list of IPv4/6 addresses is returned. This list contains all multicast
addresses sensed by the bridge multicast snooping feature on all bridge
ports of the bridge interface of net_dev, excluding addresses from the
specified net_device itself.

MLDv1 (RFC2710 section 6), MLDv2 (RFC3810 section 7.6.2), IGMPv2
(RFC2236 section 3) and IGMPv3 (RFC3376 section 6.6.2) specify that the
querier with lowest source address shall become the selected
querier.
So far the bridge stopped its querier as soon as it heard another
querier regardless of its source address. This results in the "wrong"
querier potentially becoming the active querier or a potential,
unnecessary querying delay.
With this patch the bridge memorizes the source address of the currently
selected querier and ignores queries from queriers with a higher source
address than the currently selected one. This slight optimization is
supposed to make it more RFC compliant (but is rather uncritical and
therefore probably not necessary to be queued for stable kernels).

The current naming of these two structs is very random, in that
reversing their naming would not make any semantical difference.
This patch tries to make the naming less confusing by giving them a more
specific, distinguishable naming.
This is also useful for the upcoming patches reintroducing the
"struct bridge_mcast_querier" but for storing information about the
selected querier (no matter if our own or a foreign querier).
