bf08824a0f flow_dissector: Add support for HSR
Network drivers such as igb or igc call eth_get_headlen() to determine the
header length for their to be constructed skbs in receive path.

When running HSR on top of these drivers, it results in triggering BUG_ON() in
skb_pull(). The reason is the skb headlen is not sufficient for HSR to work
correctly. skb_pull() notices that.

For instance, eth_get_headlen() returns 14 bytes for TCP traffic over HSR which
is not correct. The problem is, the flow dissection code does not take HSR into
account. Therefore, add support for it.

4acc45db71 net: hsr: use hlist_head instead of list_head for mac addresses
Currently, HSR manages mac addresses of known HSR nodes by using list_head.
It takes a lot of time when there are a lot of registered nodes due to
finding specific mac address nodes by using linear search. We can be
reducing the time by using hlist. Thus, this patch moves list_head to
hlist_head for mac addresses and this allows for further improvement of
network performance.

48b491a5cc net: hsr: fix mac_len checks
Commit 2e9f60932a ("net: hsr: check skb can contain struct hsr_ethhdr
in fill_frame_info") added the following which resulted in -EINVAL
always being returned:
	if (skb->mac_len < sizeof(struct hsr_ethhdr))
		return -EINVAL;

mac_len was not being set correctly so this check completely broke
HSR/PRP since it was always 14, not 20.

Set mac_len correctly and modify the mac_len checks to test in the
correct places since sometimes it is legitimately 14.

dcf0cd1cc5 net: hsr: add offloading support
Add support for offloading of HSR/PRP (IEC 62439-3) tag insertion
tag removal, duplicate generation and forwarding.

For HSR, insertion involves the switch adding a 6 byte HSR header after
the 14 byte Ethernet header. For PRP it adds a 6 byte trailer.

Tag removal involves automatically stripping the HSR/PRP header/trailer
in the switch. This is possible when the switch also performs auto
deduplication using the HSR/PRP header/trailer (making it no longer
required).

Forwarding involves automatically forwarding between redundant ports in
an HSR. This is crucial because delay is accumulated as a frame passes
through each node in the ring.

Duplication involves the switch automatically sending a single frame
from the CPU port to both redundant ports. This is required because the
inserted HSR/PRP header/trailer must contain the same sequence number
on the frames sent out both redundant ports.

Export is_hsr_master so DSA can tell them apart from other devices in
dsa_slave_changeupper.

451d8123f8 net: prp: add packet handling support
DAN-P (Dual Attached Nodes PRP) nodes are expected to receive
traditional IP packets as well as PRP (Parallel Redundancy
Protocol) tagged (trailer) packets. PRP trailer is 6 bytes
of PRP protocol unit called RCT, Redundancy Control Trailer
(RCT) similar to HSR tag. PRP network can have traditional
devices such as bridges/switches or PC attached to it and
should be able to communicate. Regular Ethernet devices treat
the RCT as pads.  This patch adds logic to format L2 frames
from network stack to add a trailer (RCT) and send it as
duplicates over the slave interfaces when the protocol is
PRP as per IEC 62439-3. At the ingress, it strips the trailer,
do duplicate detection and rejection and forward a stripped
frame up the network stack. PRP device should accept frames
from Singly Attached Nodes (SAN) and thus the driver mark
the link where the frame came from in the node table.

protocol ops ptr in the private hsr structure to hold function
pointers as some of the functions at protocol level packet
handling is different for HSR vs PRP. It is expected that PRP will
add its of set of functions for protocol handling. Modify existing
hsr_announce() function to call proto_ops->send_sv_frame() to send
supervision frame for HSR. This is expected to be different for PRP.
So introduce a ops function ptr, send_sv_frame() for the same and
initialize it to send_hsr_supervsion_frame(). Modify hsr_announce()
to call proto_ops->send_sv_frame().

8f4c0e0178 hsr: enhance netlink socket interface to support PRP
Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) is another redundancy protocol
introduced by IEC 63439 standard. It is similar to HSR in many
aspects:-

 - Use a pair of Ethernet interfaces to created the PRP device
 - Use a 6 byte redundancy protocol part (RCT, Redundancy Check
   Trailer) similar to HSR Tag.
 - Has Link Redundancy Entity (LRE) that works with RCT to implement
   redundancy.

Key difference is that the protocol unit is a trailer instead of a
prefix as in HSR. That makes it inter-operable with tradition network
components such as bridges/switches which treat it as pad bytes,
whereas HSR nodes requires some kind of translators (Called redbox) to
talk to regular network devices. This features allows regular linux box
to be converted to a DAN-P box. DAN-P stands for Dual Attached Node - PRP
similar to DAN-H (Dual Attached Node - HSR).

Add a comment at the header/source code to explicitly state that the
driver files also handles PRP protocol as well.

1d19e2d53e hsr: fix error handling routine in hsr_dev_finalize()
hsr_dev_finalize() is called to create new hsr interface.
There are some wrong error handling codes.

1. wrong checking return value of debugfs_create_{dir/file}.
These function doesn't return NULL. If error occurs in there,
it returns error pointer.
So, it should check error pointer instead of NULL.

2. It doesn't unregister interface if it fails to setup hsr interface.
If it fails to initialize hsr interface after register_netdevice(),
it should call unregister_netdevice().

3. Ignore failure of creation of debugfs
If creating of debugfs dir and file is failed, creating hsr interface
will be failed. But debugfs doesn't affect actual logic of hsr module.
So, ignoring this is more correct and this behavior is more general.

Current driver code uses camel case in many places. This is
seen when ran checkpatch.pl -f on files under net/hsr. This
patch fixes the code to remove camel case usage.

ee1c279772 net/hsr: Added support for HSR v1
This patch adds support for the newer version 1 of the HSR
networking standard. Version 0 is still default and the new
version has to be selected via iproute2.

Main changes are in the supervision frame handling and its
ethertype field.

f266a683a4 net/hsr: Better frame dispatch
This patch removes the separate paths for frames coming from the outside, and
frames sent from the HSR device, and instead makes all frames go through
hsr_forward_skb() in hsr_forward.c. This greatly improves code readability and
also opens up the possibility for future support of the HSR Interlink device
that is the basis for HSR RedBoxes and HSR QuadBoxes, as well as VLAN
compatibility.

Other improvements:
* A reduction in the number of times an skb is copied on machines without
  HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS, which improves throughput somewhat.
* Headers are now created using the standard eth_header(), and using the
  standard hard_header_len.
* Each HSR slave now gets its own private skb, so slave-specific fields can be
  correctly set.

f421436a59 net/hsr: Add support for the High-availability Seamless Redundancy protocol (HSRv0)
High-availability Seamless Redundancy ("HSR") provides instant failover
redundancy for Ethernet networks. It requires a special network topology where
all nodes are connected in a ring (each node having two physical network
interfaces). It is suited for applications that demand high availability and
very short reaction time.

HSR acts on the Ethernet layer, using a registered Ethernet protocol type to
send special HSR frames in both directions over the ring. The driver creates
virtual network interfaces that can be used just like any ordinary Linux
network interface, for IP/TCP/UDP traffic etc. All nodes in the network ring
must be HSR capable.

This code is a "best effort" to comply with the HSR standard as described in
IEC 62439-3:2010 (HSRv0).
