Furthermore, the device-side and bridge-side settings have their own

For rocker, support prepare-commit transaction model for setting attributes
(and for adding objects). This requires rocker to preallocate memory
needed for the commit up front in the prepare phase. Since rtnl_lock is
held between prepare-commit, store the allocated memory on a queue hanging
off of the rocker_port. Also, in prepare phase, do everything right up to
calling into HW. The same code paths are tranversed in the driver for both
prepare and commit phases. In some cases, any state modified in the
prepare phase must be reverted before returning so the commit phase makes
the same decisions.
As a consequence of holding rtnl_lock in process context for all attr sets
(and obj adds), all memory is GFP_KERNEL allocated and we don't need to
busy spin waiting for the device to complete the command. So the bulk of
this patch is simplifying the memory allocations to only use GFP_KERNEL and
to remove the nowait flag and busy spin loop.

Add two new swdev ops for get/set switch port attributes. Most swdev
interactions on a port are gets or sets on port attributes, so rather than
adding ops for each attribute, let's define clean get/set ops for all
attributes, and then we can have clear, consistent rules on how attributes
propagate on stacked devs.
Add the basic algorithms for get/set attr ops. Use the same recusive algo
to walk lower devs we've used for STP updates, for example. For get,
compare attr value for each lower dev and only return success if attr
values match across all lower devs. For sets, set the same attr value for
all lower devs. We'll use a two-phase prepare-commit transaction model for
sets. In the first phase, the driver(s) are asked if attr set is OK. If
all OK, the commit attr set in second phase. A driver would NACK the
prepare phase if it can't set the attr due to lack of resources or support,
within it's control. RTNL lock must be held across both phases because
we'll recurse all lower devs first in prepare phase, and then recurse all
lower devs again in commit phase. If any lower dev fails the prepare
phase, we need to abort the transaction for all lower devs.
If lower dev recusion isn't desired, allow a flag SWITCHDEV_F_NO_RECURSE to
indicate get/set only work on port (lowest) device.

In a GRED qdisc, if the default "virtual queue" (VQ) does not have drop
parameters configured, then packets for the default VQ are not subjected
to RED and are only dropped if the queue is larger than the net_device's
tx_queue_len. This behavior is useful for WRED mode, since these packets
will still influence the calculated average queue length and (therefore)
the drop probability for all of the other VQs. However, for some drivers
tx_queue_len is zero. In other cases the user may wish to make the limit
the same for all VQs (including the default VQ with no drop parameters).
This change adds a TCA_GRED_LIMIT attribute to set the GRED queue limit,
in bytes, during qdisc setup. (This limit is in bytes to be consistent
with the drop parameters.) The default limit is the same as for a bfifo
queue (tx_queue_len * psched_mtu). If the drop parameters of any VQ are
configured with a smaller limit than the GRED queue limit, that VQ will
still observe the smaller limit instead.

Refactor netdev page frags and move them into mm/
This patch series addresses several things.
First I found an issue in the performance of the pfmemalloc check from
build_skb. To work around it I have provided a cached copy of pfmemalloc
to be used in __netdev_alloc_skb and __napi_alloc_skb.
Second I moved the page fragment allocation logic into the mm tree and
added functionality for freeing page fragments. I had to fix igb before I
could do this as it was using a reference to NETDEV_FRAG_PAGE_MAX_SIZE
incorrectly.
Finally I went through and replaced all of the duplicate code that was
calling put_page and replaced it with calls to skb_free_frag.
With these changes in place a simple receive and drop test increased from a
packet rate of 8.9Mpps to 9.8Mpps. The gains breakdown as follows:
8.9Mpps Before 9.8Mpps After
------------------------ ------------------------
7.8% put_compound_page 9.1% __free_page_frag
3.9% skb_free_head
1.1% put_page

Since we are moving it from skbuff.c to page_alloc.c I have also renamed
the basic defines and structure from netdev_alloc_cache to page_frag_cache
to reflect that this is now part of a different kernel subsystem.
I have also added a simple __free_page_frag function which can handle
freeing the frags based on the skb->head pointer. The model for this is
based off of __free_pages since we don't actually need to deal with all of
the cases that put_page handles. I incorporated the virt_to_head_page call
and compound_order into the function as it actually allows for a signficant
size reduction by reducing code duplication.

allocation or reset of the page.

While testing I found that the testing for pfmemalloc in build_skb was
rather expensive. I found the issue to be two-fold. First we have to get
from the virtual address to the head page and that comes at the cost of
something like 11 cycles. Then there is the cost for reading pfmemalloc out
of the head page which can be cache cold due to the fact that
put_page_testzero is likely invalidating the cache-line on one or more
CPUs as the fragments can be shared.
To avoid this extra expense I have added a pfmemalloc member to the
netdev_alloc_cache. I then pushed pieces of __alloc_rx_skb into
__napi_alloc_skb and __netdev_alloc_skb so that I could rewrite them to
make use of the cached pfmemalloc value. The result is that my perf traces
show a reduction from 9.28% overhead to 3.7% for the code covered by
build_skb, __alloc_rx_skb, and __napi_alloc_skb when performing a test with
the packet being dropped instead of being handed to napi_gro_receive.

Ingress qdisc has no other purpose than calling into tc_classify()
that executes attached classifier(s) and action(s).
It has a 1:1 relationship to dev->ingress_queue. After having commit
087c1a601a ("net: sched: run ingress qdisc without locks") removed
the central ingress lock, one major contention point is gone.
The extra indirection layers however, are not necessary for calling
into ingress qdisc. pktgen calling locally into netif_receive_skb()
with a dummy u32, single CPU result on a Supermicro X10SLM-F, Xeon
E3-1240: before ~21,1 Mpps, after patch ~22,9 Mpps.
We can redirect the private classifier list to the netdev directly,
without changing any classifier API bits (!) and execute on that from
handle_ing() side. The __QDISC_STATE_DEACTIVATE test can be removed,
ingress qdisc doesn't have a queue and thus dev_deactivate_queue()
is also not applicable, ingress_cl_list provides similar behaviour.
In other words, ingress qdisc acts like TCQ_F_BUILTIN qdisc.
One next possible step is the removal of the dev's ingress (dummy)
netdev_queue, and to only have the list member in the netdevice
itself.
Note, the filter chain is RCU protected and individual filter elements
are being kfree'd by sched subsystem after RCU grace period. RCU read
lock is being held by __netif_receive_skb_core().

Cleanup the kernel sockets.
Right now the situtation for allocating kernel sockets is a mess.
- sock_create_kern does not take a namespace parameter.
- kernel sockets must not reference count a network namespace and keep
it alive or else we will have a reference counting loop.
- The way we avoid the reference counting loop with sk_change_net
and sk_release_kernel are major hacks.
This patchset addresses this mess by fixing sock_create_kern to do
everything necessary to create a kernel socket. None of the current
users of kernel sockets need the network namespace reference counted.
Either kernel sockets are network namespace aware (and using the current
hacks) or kernel sockets are limited to the initial network namespace
in which case it does not matter.
This patchset starts by addressing tun which should be using normal
userspace sockets like macvtap.
Then sock_create_kern is fixed to take a network namespace.
Then the in kernel status of sockets are passed through to sk_alloc.
Then sk_alloc is fixed to not reference count the network namespace
of kernel sockets.
Then the callers of sock_create_kern are fixed up to stop using hacks.
Then netlink which uses it's own flavor of sock_create_kern is fixed.
Finally the hacks that are sk_change_net and sk_release_kernel are removed.
When it is all done the code is easier to follow, easier to use, easier
to maintain and shorter by about 70 lines.

struct sock called sk_net_refcnt.
Update all of the callers of sock_create_kern to stop using
sk_change_net and sk_release_kernel as those hacks are no longer
needed, to avoid reference counting a kernel socket.

In preparation for changing how struct net is refcounted
on kernel sockets pass the knowledge that we are creating
a kernel socket from sock_create_kern through to sk_alloc.
