01c196a2d3 net/mlx5e: Wait for RX buffers initialization in a more proper manner
Use jiffies rather than wait loop with msleep().

The wait loop didn't take into consideration time when the
process was not executing.

a198574090 net/mlx5e: Avoid NULL pointer access in case of configuration failure
In case a configuration operation that involves closing and re-opening
resources (e.g RX/TX queue size change) fails at the re-opening stage
these resources will remain closed.
So when executing (following) configuration operations (e.g ifconfig
down) we cannot assume that these resources are available.

fd867d51f8 net/core: generic support for disabling netdev features down stack
There are some netdev features, which when disabled on an upper device,
such as a bonding master or a bridge, must be disabled and cannot be
re-enabled on underlying devices.

This is a rework of an earlier more heavy-handed appraoch, which simply
disables and prevents re-enabling of netdev features listed in a new
define in include/net/netdev_features.h, NETIF_F_UPPER_DISABLES. Any upper
device that disables a flag in that feature mask, the disabling will
propagate down the stack, and any lower device that has any upper device
with one of those flags disabled should not be able to enable said flag.

Initially, only LRO is included for proof of concept, and because this
code effectively does the same thing as dev_disable_lro(), though it will
also activate from the ethtool path, which was one of the goals here.

[root@dell-per730-01 ~]# ethtool -k bond0 |grep large
large-receive-offload: on
[root@dell-per730-01 ~]# ethtool -k p5p1 |grep large
large-receive-offload: on
[root@dell-per730-01 ~]# ethtool -K bond0 lro off
[root@dell-per730-01 ~]# ethtool -k bond0 |grep large
large-receive-offload: off
[root@dell-per730-01 ~]# ethtool -k p5p1 |grep large
large-receive-offload: off

dmesg dump:

[ 1033.277986] bond0: Disabling feature 0x0000000000008000 on lower dev p5p2.
[ 1034.067949] bnx2x 0000:06:00.1 p5p2: using MSI-X  IRQs: sp 74  fp[0] 76 ... fp[7] 83

This has been successfully tested with bnx2x, qlcnic and netxen network
cards as slaves in a bond interface. Turning LRO on or off on the master
also turns it on or off on each of the slaves, new slaves are added with
LRO in the same state as the master, and LRO can't be toggled on the
slaves.

Also, this should largely remove the need for dev_disable_lro(), and most,
if not all, of its call sites can be replaced by simply making sure
NETIF_F_LRO isn't included in the relevant device's feature flags.

Note that this patch is driven by bug reports from users saying it was
confusing that bonds and slaves had different settings for the same
features, and while it won't be 100% in sync if a lower device doesn't
support a feature like LRO, I think this is a good step in the right
direction.

a176ded3f4 Merge branch 'bonding-actor-updates'
Mahesh Bandewar says:

====================
re-org actor admin/oper key updates

I was observing machines entering into weird LACP state when the
partner is in passive mode. This issue is not because of the partners
in passive state but probably because of some operational key update
which is pushing the state-machine is that weird state. This was
happening randomly on about 1% of the machine (when the sample size
is a large set of machines with a variety of NICs/ports bonded).

In this patch-series I'm attempting to unify the logic of actor-key
/ operational-key changes to one place to avoid possible errors in
update. Also this eliminates the need for the event-handler to decide
if the key needs update.

After this patch-set none of the machines (from same sample set) were
exhibiting LACP-weirdness that was observed earlier.

actor_admin, and actor_oper key is changed at multiple locations in
the code. This patch brings all those updates into one location in
an attempt to avoid possible inconsistent updates causing LACP state
machine to go in weird state.

The unified place is ad_update_actor_key() with simple state-machine
logic -
  (a) If port is "duplex" then only it can participate in LACP
  (b) Speed change reinitializes the LACP state-machine.

42984d7c1e bpf: add sample usages for persistent maps/progs
This patch adds a couple of stand-alone examples on how BPF_OBJ_PIN
and BPF_OBJ_GET commands can be used.

Example with maps:

  # ./fds_example -F /sys/fs/bpf/m -P -m -k 1 -v 42
  bpf: map fd:3 (Success)
  bpf: pin ret:(0,Success)
  bpf: fd:3 u->(1:42) ret:(0,Success)
  # ./fds_example -F /sys/fs/bpf/m -G -m -k 1
  bpf: get fd:3 (Success)
  bpf: fd:3 l->(1):42 ret:(0,Success)
  # ./fds_example -F /sys/fs/bpf/m -G -m -k 1 -v 24
  bpf: get fd:3 (Success)
  bpf: fd:3 u->(1:24) ret:(0,Success)
  # ./fds_example -F /sys/fs/bpf/m -G -m -k 1
  bpf: get fd:3 (Success)
  bpf: fd:3 l->(1):24 ret:(0,Success)

  # ./fds_example -F /sys/fs/bpf/m2 -P -m
  bpf: map fd:3 (Success)
  bpf: pin ret:(0,Success)
  # ./fds_example -F /sys/fs/bpf/m2 -G -m -k 1
  bpf: get fd:3 (Success)
  bpf: fd:3 l->(1):0 ret:(0,Success)
  # ./fds_example -F /sys/fs/bpf/m2 -G -m
  bpf: get fd:3 (Success)

Example with progs:

  # ./fds_example -F /sys/fs/bpf/p -P -p
  bpf: prog fd:3 (Success)
  bpf: pin ret:(0,Success)
  bpf sock:4 <- fd:3 attached ret:(0,Success)
  # ./fds_example -F /sys/fs/bpf/p -G -p
  bpf: get fd:3 (Success)
  bpf: sock:4 <- fd:3 attached ret:(0,Success)

  # ./fds_example -F /sys/fs/bpf/p2 -P -p -o ./sockex1_kern.o

b2197755b2 bpf: add support for persistent maps/progs
This work adds support for "persistent" eBPF maps/programs. The term
"persistent" is to be understood that maps/programs have a facility
that lets them survive process termination. This is desired by various
eBPF subsystem users.

Just to name one example: tc classifier/action. Whenever tc parses
the ELF object, extracts and loads maps/progs into the kernel, these
file descriptors will be out of reach after the tc instance exits.
So a subsequent tc invocation won't be able to access/relocate on this
resource, and therefore maps cannot easily be shared, f.e. between the
ingress and egress networking data path.

The current workaround is that Unix domain sockets (UDS) need to be
instrumented in order to pass the created eBPF map/program file
descriptors to a third party management daemon through UDS' socket
passing facility. This makes it a bit complicated to deploy shared
eBPF maps or programs (programs f.e. for tail calls) among various
processes.

We've been brainstorming on how we could tackle this issue and various
approches have been tried out so far, which can be read up further in
the below reference.

The architecture we eventually ended up with is a minimal file system
that can hold map/prog objects. The file system is a per mount namespace
singleton, and the default mount point is /sys/fs/bpf/. Any subsequent
mounts within a given namespace will point to the same instance. The
file system allows for creating a user-defined directory structure.
The objects for maps/progs are created/fetched through bpf(2) with
two new commands (BPF_OBJ_PIN/BPF_OBJ_GET). I.e. a bpf file descriptor
along with a pathname is being passed to bpf(2) that in turn creates
(we call it eBPF object pinning) the file system nodes. Only the pathname
is being passed to bpf(2) for getting a new BPF file descriptor to an
existing node. The user can use that to access maps and progs later on,
through bpf(2). Removal of file system nodes is being managed through
normal VFS functions such as unlink(2), etc. The file system code is
kept to a very minimum and can be further extended later on.

The next step I'm working on is to add dump eBPF map/prog commands
to bpf(2), so that a specification from a given file descriptor can
be retrieved. This can be used by things like CRIU but also applications
can inspect the meta data after calling BPF_OBJ_GET.

Big thanks also to Alexei and Hannes who significantly contributed
in the design discussion that eventually let us end up with this
architecture here.

e9d8afa90b bpf: consolidate bpf_prog_put{, _rcu} dismantle paths
We currently have duplicated cleanup code in bpf_prog_put() and
bpf_prog_put_rcu() cleanup paths. Back then we decided that it was
not worth it to make it a common helper called by both, but with
the recent addition of resource charging, we could have avoided
the fix in commit ac00737f4e ("bpf: Need to call bpf_prog_uncharge_memlock
from bpf_prog_put") if we would have had only a single, common path.
We can simplify it further by assigning aux->prog only once during
allocation time.

c210129760 bpf: align and clean bpf_{map,prog}_get helpers
Add a bpf_map_get() function that we're going to use later on and
align/clean the remaining helpers a bit so that we have them a bit
more consistent:

  - __bpf_map_get() and __bpf_prog_get() that both work on the fd
    struct, check whether the descriptor is eBPF and return the
    pointer to the map/prog stored in the private data.

    Also, we can return f.file->private_data directly, the function
    signature is enough of a documentation already.

  - bpf_map_get() and bpf_prog_get() that both work on u32 user fd,
    call their respective __bpf_map_get()/__bpf_prog_get() variants,
    and take a reference.

1d6119baf0 net: fix percpu memory leaks
This patch fixes following problems :

1) percpu_counter_init() can return an error, therefore
  init_frag_mem_limit() must propagate this error so that
  inet_frags_init_net() can do the same up to its callers.

2) If ip[46]_frags_ns_ctl_register() fail, we must unwind
   properly and free the percpu_counter.

Without this fix, we leave freed object in percpu_counters
global list (if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU) leading to crashes.

ddd611d3ff bridge: vlan: Use correct flag name in comment
The flag used to indicate if a VLAN should be used for filtering - as
opposed to context only - on the bridge itself (e.g. br0) is called
'brentry' and not 'brvlan'.

07bc588fc1 bridge: vlan: Prevent possible use-after-free
When adding a port to a bridge we initialize VLAN filtering on it. We do
not bail out in case an error occurred in nbp_vlan_init, as it can be
used as a non VLAN filtering bridge.

However, if VLAN filtering is required and an error occurred in
nbp_vlan_init, we should set vlgrp to NULL, so that VLAN filtering
functions (e.g. br_vlan_find, br_get_pvid) will know the struct is
invalid and will not try to access it.

ce1050089c tcp/dccp: fix ireq->pktopts race
IPv6 request sockets store a pointer to skb containing the SYN packet
to be able to transfer it to full blown socket when 3WHS is done
(ireq->pktopts -> np->pktoptions)

As explained in commit 5e0724d027 ("tcp/dccp: fix hashdance race for
passive sessions"), we must transfer the skb only if we won the
hashdance race, if multiple cpus receive the 'ack' packet completing
3WHS at the same time.

7b5654349e RDS: convert bind hash table to re-sizable hashtable
To further improve the RDS connection scalabilty on massive systems
where number of sockets grows into tens of thousands  of sockets, there
is a need of larger bind hashtable. Pre-allocated 8K or 16K table is
not very flexible in terms of memory utilisation. The rhashtable
infrastructure gives us the flexibility to grow the hashtbable based
on use and also comes up with inbuilt efficient bucket(chain) handling.

net: encx24j600: Fix SPI driver module autoload

Recently I've been trying to fix module autoloading for all SPI drivers and
found that the encx24j600 driver does not fill module alias information due
missing a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() so module autload won't work and the driver
Kconfig symbol is tristate which means the driver can be built as a module.

But also the SPI id table is not correctly defined so this series fixes both
issues.

d0cb48cd19 net: encx24j600: Fix SPI id table definition
A driver's SPI id table is expected to be an array of struct spi_device_id
that ends with a zero-initialized sentinel entry. But this driver defines
the table as a single struct spi_device_id and sets .id_table to a pointer
to this struct.

But spi_match_id() has a loop that iterates while the struct spi_device_id
.name[0] is not NULL, so not having a sentinel can cause a NULL pointer
deference error.

This patch defines the SPI id table correctly as all other SPI drivers do.

9920e48b83 ipv4: use l4 hash for locally generated multipath flows
This patch changes how the multipath hash is computed for locally
generated flows: now the hash comprises l4 information.

This allows better utilization of the available paths when the existing
flows have the same source IP and the same destination IP: with l3 hash,
even when multiple connections are in place simultaneously, a single path
will be used, while with l4 hash we can use all the available paths.

v2 changes:
- use get_hash_from_flowi4() instead of implementing just another l4 hash
  function

1032a66871 Use 64-bit timekeeping
This patch changes the use of struct timespec in
dccp_probe to use struct timespec64 instead. timespec uses a 32-bit
seconds field which will overflow in the year 2038 and beyond. timespec64
uses a 64-bit seconds field. Note that the correctness of the code isn't
changed, since the original code only uses the timestamps to compute a
small elapsed interval. This patch is part of a larger attempt to remove
instances of 32-bit timekeeping structures (timespec, timeval, time_t)
from the kernel so it is easier to identify where the real 2038 issues
are.

ea3803c193 VSOCK: define VSOCK_SS_LISTEN once only
The SS_LISTEN socket state is defined by both af_vsock.c and
vmci_transport.c.  This is risky since the value could be changed in one
file and the other would be out of sync.

Rename from SS_LISTEN to VSOCK_SS_LISTEN since the constant is not part
of enum socket_state (SS_CONNECTED, ...).  This way it is clear that the
constant is vsock-specific.

The big text reflow in af_vsock.c was necessary to keep to the maximum
line length.  Text is unchanged except for s/SS_LISTEN/VSOCK_SS_LISTEN/.

The IPv6 code also intended to protect and not use CHECKSUM_PARTIAL in
the existence of IPv6 extension headers, but the condition was wrong. Fix
it up, too. Also the condition to check whether the packet fits into
one fragment was wrong and has been corrected.

bae818ee15 rbd: require stable pages if message data CRCs are enabled
rbd requires stable pages, as it performs a crc of the page data before
they are send to the OSDs.

But since kernel 3.9 (patch 1d1d1a7672
"mm: only enforce stable page writes if the backing device requires
it") it is not assumed anymore that block devices require stable pages.

This patch sets the necessary flag to get stable pages back for rbd.

In a ceph installation that provides multiple ext4 formatted rbd
devices "bad crc" messages appeared regularly (ca 1 message every 1-2
minutes on every OSD that provided the data for the rbd) in the
OSD-logs before this patch. After this patch this messages are pretty
much gone (only ca 1-2 / month / OSD).

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.9+, needs backporting
