handle_offloads() calls skb_reset_inner_headers() to store
the layer pointers to the encapsulated packet. However, we
currently push the vlag tag (if there is one) onto the packet
afterwards. This changes the MAC header for the encapsulated
packet but it is not reflected in skb->inner_mac_header, which
breaks GSO and drivers which attempt to use this for encapsulation
offloads.

Netfilter updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next tree.
They are:
* nf_tables set timeout infrastructure from Patrick Mchardy.
1) Add support for set timeout support.
2) Add support for set element timeouts using the new set extension
infrastructure.
4) Add garbage collection helper functions to get rid of stale elements.
Elements are accumulated in a batch that are asynchronously released
via RCU when the batch is full.
5) Add garbage collection synchronization helpers. This introduces a new
element busy bit to address concurrent access from the netlink API and the
garbage collector.
5) Add timeout support for the nft_hash set implementation. The garbage
collector peridically checks for stale elements from the workqueue.
* iptables/nftables cgroup fixes:
6) Ignore non full-socket objects from the input path, otherwise cgroup
match may crash, from Daniel Borkmann.
7) Fix cgroup in nf_tables.
8) Save some cycles from xt_socket by skipping packet header parsing when
skb->sk is already set because of early demux. Also from Daniel.
* br_netfilter updates from Florian Westphal.
9) Save frag_max_size and restore it from the forward path too.
10) Use a per-cpu area to restore the original source MAC address when traffic
is DNAT'ed.
11) Add helper functions to access physical devices.
12) Use these new physdev helper function from xt_physdev.
13) Add another nf_bridge_info_get() helper function to fetch the br_netfilter
state information.
14) Annotate original layer 2 protocol number in nf_bridge info, instead of
using kludgy flags.
15) Also annotate the pkttype mangling when the packet travels back and forth
from the IP to the bridge layer, instead of using a flag.
* More nf_tables set enhancement from Patrick:
16) Fix possible usage of set variant that doesn't support timeouts.
17) Avoid spurious "set is full" errors from Netlink API when there are pending
stale elements scheduled to be released.
18) Restrict loop checks to set maps.
19) Add support for dynamic set updates from the packet path.
20) Add support to store optional user data (eg. comments) per set element.
BTW, I have also pulled net-next into nf-next to anticipate the conflict
resolution between your okfn() signature changes and Florian's br_netfilter
updates.

Replace wmb()/rmb() with dma_wmb()/dma_rmb() where appropriate, round 2
More cleanup of drivers in order to start making use of dma_rmb and dma_wmb
calls. This is another pass of what I would consider to be low hanging
fruit. There may be other opportunities to make use of the barriers in the
Mellanox and Chelsio drivers but I didn't want to risk meddling with code I
was not completely familiar with so I am leaving that for future work.
I have revisited the Mellanox driver changes. This time around I went only
for the sections with a clearly defined pattern. For dma_wmb I used it
between accesses of the descriptor bits followed by owner or size. For
dma_rmb I used it to replace rmb following a read of the ownership bit in
the descriptor.

This patch should help to improve the performance of the mlx4 and mlx5 on a
number of architectures. For example, on x86 the dma_wmb/rmb equates out
to a barrer() call as the architecture is already strong ordered, and on
PowerPC the call works out to a lwsync which is significantly less expensive
than the sync call that was being used for wmb.
I placed the new barriers between any spots that seemed to be trying to
order memory/memory reads or writes, if there are any spots that involved
MMIO I left the existing wmb in place as the new barriers cannot order
transactions between coherent and non-coherent memories.
v2: Reduced the replacments to just the spots where I could clearly
identify the usage pattern.

V3: DaveM comments:

Investigation into the root-cause of these IB-triggered changes
produced the feedback: "I don't remember seeing "RDS: Stuck RM"

well be some old workaround for stale connection for which long term
fix is already made and this part of code not exercised anymore."
Any such fixes, *if* they are needed, can/should be done in the
IB specific RDS transport modules.
- similarly dropped the LL_SEND_FULL patch (patch 6 in v2 set)
v4: Documentation/networking/rds.txt contains incorrect references
to "missing sysctl values for pf_rds and sol_rds in mainline".
The sysctl values were never needed in mainline, thus fix the
documentation.

If a determined set of concurrent senders keep the send queue full,
we can loop forever inside rds_send_xmit. This fix has two parts.
First we are dropping out of the while(1) loop after we've processed a
large batch of messages.
Second we add a generation number that gets bumped each time the
xmit bit lock is acquired. If someone else has jumped in and
made progress in the queue, we skip our goto restart.

Passive connections were added for the case where one loopback IB
connection between identical addresses needs another connection to store
the second QP. Unfortunately, they were also created in the case where
the addesses differ and we already have both QPs.
This lead to a message reordering bug.
- two different IB interfaces and addresses on a machine: A B
- traffic is sent from A to B
- connection from A-B is created, connect request sent
- listening accepts connect request, B-A is created
- traffic flows, next_rx is incremented
- unacked messages exist on the retrans list
- connection A-B is shut down, new connect request sent
- listen sees existing loopback B-A, creates new passive B-A
- retrans messages are sent and delivered because of 0 next_rx
The problem is that the second connection request saw the previously
existing parent connection. Instead of using it, and using the existing
next_rx_seq state for the traffic between those IPs, it mistakenly
thought that it had to create a passive connection.
We fix this by only using passive connections in the special case where
laddr and faddr match. In this case we'll only ever have one parent
sending connection requests and one passive connection created as the
listening path sees the existing parent connection which initiated the
request.

This patch series fixes the same issue which was fixed in Xen with commit

compound pages with skb_linearize").
It is relatively easy to create a packet which is small in size but occupies
more than 30 (MAX_PAGE_BUFFER_COUNT-2) pages. Here is a kernel-mode reproducer
which tries sending a packet with only 34 bytes of payload (but on 34 pages)

in4_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = cpu_to_be32(0x4a7d8563);
in4_addr.sin_port = cpu_to_be16(80);
ret = sock->ops->connect(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&in4_addr, sizeof(in4_addr), 0);
if (ret) {
pr_err("failed to connect: %d!\n", ret);
return ret;
}

In netvsc_start_xmit() we can handle packets which are scattered around not
more than MAX_PAGE_BUFFER_COUNT-2 pages. It is, however, easy to create a
packet which is not big in size but occupies more pages (e.g. if it uses frags
on compound pages boundaries). When we drop such packet it cases sender to try
resending it but in most cases it will try resending the same packet which will
also get dropped, this will cause the particular connection to stick. To solve
the issue we can try linearizing skb.

====================
sfc: Nic specific sriov functions, netdev_ops and sriov_configure
First two patches among the series of patches to support SRIOV on EF10.
First patch declares nic specific sriov functions in nic specific headers,
creates only one instance of the netdev_ops, removes sriov functionality
from Falcon code.
Second patch adds support for sriov_configure.
The Virtual Functions can be enabled but they do not bind to the SFC
driver just yet.

This patch adds support for the use of sriov_configure on EF10
to enable Virtual Functions while the driver is loaded.

By putting all the efx_{siena,ef10}_sriov_* declarations in
{siena,ef10}_sriov.h, ensure they cannot be called from nic-generic code.
Also fixes up an instance of this, where mcdi.c was calling
efx_siena_sriov_flr.
The single instance of netdev_ops should call general high level
functions that can then call something adapter specific in efx_nic_type.
We should only do adapter specialisation via efx_nic_type.
Removal of sriov functionality from the Falcon code means that tests
are needed for the presence of some callbacks.
