Drivers usually have a number of restrictions for running XDP
- most common being buffer sizes, LRO and number of rings.
Even though some drivers try to be helpful and print error
messages experience shows that users don't often consult
kernel logs on netlink errors. Try to use the new extended
ack mechanism to carry the message back to user space.

This provides a generic SKB based non-optimized XDP path which is used
if either the driver lacks a specific XDP implementation, or the user
requests it via a new IFLA_XDP_FLAGS value named XDP_FLAGS_SKB_MODE.
It is arguable that perhaps I should have required something like
this as part of the initial XDP feature merge.
I believe this is critical for two reasons:
1) Accessibility. More people can play with XDP with less
dependencies. Yes I know we have XDP support in virtio_net, but
that just creates another depedency for learning how to use this
facility.
I wrote this to make life easier for the XDP newbies.
2) As a model for what the expected semantics are. If there is a pure
generic core implementation, it serves as a semantic example for
driver folks adding XDP support.
One thing I have not tried to address here is the issue of
XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM, thanks to Daniel for spotting that. It seems
incredibly expensive to do a skb_cow(skb, XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM) or
whatever even if the XDP program doesn't try to push headers at all.
I think we really need the verifier to somehow propagate whether
certain XDP helpers are used or not.

1) Add the needed netdev features to configure IPsec offloads.
2) Add the IPsec hardware offloading API.
3) Prepare the ESP packet path for hardware offloading.
4) Add gso handlers for esp4 and esp6, this implements

5) Add xfrm replay handler functions for offloading.
6) Change ESP to use a synchronous crypto algorithm on
offloading, we don't have the option for asynchronous
returns when we handle IPsec at layer2.
7) Add a xfrm validate function to validate_xmit_skb. This
implements the software fallback for non GSO packets.

Constants used for tuning are generally a bad idea, especially as hardware
changes over time. Replace the constant 2 jiffies with sysctl variable
netdev_budget_usecs to enable sysadmins to tune the softirq processing.
Also document the variable.
For example, a very fast machine might tune this to 1000 microseconds,
while my regression testing 486DX-25 needs it to be 4000 microseconds on
a nearly idle network to prevent time_squeeze from being incremented.
Version 2: changed jiffies to microseconds for predictable units.

When we do IPsec offloading, we need a fallback for
packets that were targeted to be IPsec offloaded but
rerouted to a device that does not support IPsec offload.
For that we add a function that checks the offloading
features of the sending device and and flags the
requirement of a fallback before it calls the IPsec
output function. The IPsec output function adds the IPsec
trailer and does encryption if needed.

When netdev events happen, a rtnetlink_event() handler will send
messages for every event in it's white list. These messages contain
current information about a particular device, but they do not include
the iformation about which event just happened. The consumer of
the message has to try to infer this information. In some cases
(ex: NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS), that is not possible.
This patch adds a new extension to RTM_NEWLINK message called IFLA_EVENT
that would have an encoding of the which event triggered this
message. This would allow the the message consumer to easily determine
if it is interested in a particular event or not.

This patch is a cleanup/fix for NAPI IDs following the changes that made it
so that sender_cpu and napi_id were doing a better job of sharing the same
location in the sk_buff.
One issue I found is that we weren't validating the napi_id as being valid
before we started trying to setup the busy polling. This change corrects
that by using the MIN_NAPI_ID value that is now used in both allocating the
NAPI IDs, as well as validating them.

It is now very clear that silly TCP listeners might play with
enabling/disabling timestamping while new children are added
to their accept queue.
Meaning net_enable_timestamp() can be called from BH context
while current state of the static key is not enabled.
Lets play safe and allow all contexts.
The work queue is scheduled only under the problematic cases,
which are the static key enable/disable transition, to not slow down
critical paths.
This extends and improves what we did in commit 5fa8bbda38 ("net: use

While playing with mlx4 hardware timestamping of RX packets, I found
that some packets were received by TCP stack with a ~200 ms delay...
Since the timestamp was provided by the NIC, and my probe was added
in tcp_v4_rcv() while in BH handler, I was confident it was not
a sender issue, or a drop in the network.
This would happen with a very low probability, but hurting RPC
workloads.
A NAPI driver normally arms the IRQ after the napi_complete_done(),
after NAPI_STATE_SCHED is cleared, so that the hard irq handler can grab
it.
Problem is that if another point in the stack grabs NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit
while IRQ are not disabled, we might have later an IRQ firing and
finding this bit set, right before napi_complete_done() clears it.
This can happen with busy polling users, or if gro_flush_timeout is
used. But some other uses of napi_schedule() in drivers can cause this
as well.
thread 1 thread 2 (could be on same cpu, or not)
// busy polling or napi_watchdog()
napi_schedule();
...
napi->poll()
device polling:
read 2 packets from ring buffer
Additional 3rd packet is
available.
device hard irq
// does nothing because
NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit is owned by thread 1
napi_schedule();
napi_complete_done(napi, 2);
rearm_irq();
Note that rearm_irq() will not force the device to send an additional
IRQ for the packet it already signaled (3rd packet in my example)
This patch adds a new NAPI_STATE_MISSED bit, that napi_schedule_prep()
can set if it could not grab NAPI_STATE_SCHED
Then napi_complete_done() properly reschedules the napi to make sure
we do not miss something.
Since we manipulate multiple bits at once, use cmpxchg() like in
sk_busy_loop() to provide proper transactions.
In v2, I changed napi_watchdog() to use a relaxed variant of
napi_schedule_prep() : No need to set NAPI_STATE_MISSED from this point.
In v3, I added more details in the changelog and clears
NAPI_STATE_MISSED in busy_poll_stop()
In v4, I added the ideas given by Alexander Duyck in v3 review

All SKB_GSO_DODGY producers can allow user space to feed

We could prevent them from doing so, rejecting packets, but
this might add regressions to existing programs.
It turns out our SKB_GSO_DODGY handlers properly set up checksum
information that is needed anyway when packets needs to be segmented.
By checking again skb_needs_check() after skb_mac_gso_segment(),
we should remove these pesky warnings, at a very minor cost.

Oftenly, introducing side effects on packet processing on the other half
of the stack by adjusting one of TX/RX via sysctl is not desirable.
There are cases of demand for asymmetric, orthogonal configurability.
This holds true especially for nodes where RPS for RFS usage on top is
configured and therefore use the 'old dev_weight'. This is quite a
common base configuration setup nowadays, even with NICs of superior processing
support (e.g. aRFS).
A good example use case are nodes acting as noSQL data bases with a
large number of tiny requests and rather fewer but large packets as responses.
It's affordable to have large budget and rx dev_weights for the
requests. But as a side effect having this large a number on TX
processed in one run can overwhelm drivers.
This patch therefore introduces an independent configurability via sysctl to
userland.

ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in
scalar nanoseconds on 64 bit machine and in a endianess optimized timespec
variant for 32bit machines. The Y2038 cleanup removed the timespec variant
and switched everything to scalar nanoseconds. The union remained, but
become completely pointless.
Get rid of the union and just keep ktime_t as simple typedef of type s64.
The conversion was done with coccinelle and some manual mopping up.

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:
PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*<asm/uaccess.h>'
sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include <linux/uaccess.h>!" \
$(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)
to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

Pull smp hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is the final round of converting the notifier mess to the state
machine. The removal of the notifiers and the related infrastructure
will happen around rc1, as there are conversions outstanding in other
trees.
The whole exercise removed about 2000 lines of code in total and in
course of the conversion several dozen bugs got fixed. The new
mechanism allows to test almost every hotplug step standalone, so
usage sites can exercise all transitions extensively.
There is more room for improvement, like integrating all the
pointlessly different architecture mechanisms of synchronizing,
setting cpus online etc into the core code"
