In order to pass extack together with NETDEV_PRE_UP notifications, it's
necessary to route the extack to __dev_open() from diverse (possibly
indirect) callers. One prominent API through which the notification is
invoked is dev_open().
Therefore extend dev_open() with and extra extack argument and update
all users. Most of the calls end up just encoding NULL, but bond and
team drivers have the extack readily available.

Adjust MTU of DSA master interface
DSA makes use of additional headers to direct a frame in/out of a
specific port of the switch. When the slave interfaces uses an MTU of
1500, the master interface can be asked to handle frames with an MTU
of 1504, or 1508 bytes. Some Ethernet interfaces won't
transmit/receive frames which are bigger than their MTU.
Automate the increasing of the MTU on the master interface, by adding
to each tagging driver how much overhead they need, and then calling
dev_set_mtu() of the master interface to increase its MTU as needed.

DSA tagging of frames sent over the master interface to the switch
increases the size of the frame. Such frames can then be bigger than
the normal MTU of the master interface, and it may drop them. Use the
overhead information from the tagger to set the MTU of the master
device to include this overhead.

Each DSA tag protocol needs to add additional headers to the Ethernet

must also remove the head from a frame received from a

ops structure, so the core can take these overheads into account.

When setting LINK tolerance, node timer interval will be calculated
base on the LINK with lowest tolerance.
But when calculated, the old node timer interval only updated if current
setting value (tolerance/4) less than old ones regardless of number of
links as well as links' lowest tolerance value.
This caused to two cases missing if tolerance changed as following:
Case 1:
1.1/ There is one link (L1) available in the system
1.2/ Set L1's tolerance from 1500ms => lower (i.e 500ms)
1.3/ Then, fallback to default (1500ms) or higher (i.e 2000ms)
Expected:
node timer interval is 1500/4=375ms after 1.3
Result:
node timer interval will not being updated after changing tolerance at 1.3
since its value 1500/4=375ms is not less than 500/4=125ms at 1.2.
Case 2:
2.1/ There are two links (L1, L2) available in the system
2.2/ L1 and L2 tolerance value are 2000ms as initial
2.3/ Set L2's tolerance from 2000ms => lower 1500ms
2.4/ Disable link L2 (bring down its bearer)
Expected:
node timer interval is 2000ms/4=500ms after 2.4
Result:
node timer interval will not being updated after disabling L2 since
its value 2000ms/4=500ms is still not less than 1500/4=375ms at 2.3
although L2 is already not available in the system.
To fix this, we start the node interval calculation by initializing it to
a value larger than any conceivable calculated value. This way, the link
with the lowest tolerance will always determine the calculated value.

This patch uses a linear list/queue in addition to the rbtree:
if an incoming packet is past the tail of the linear queue, it is

net: bridge: convert multicast to generic rhashtable
The current bridge multicast code uses a custom rhashtable
implementation which predates the generic rhashtable API. Patch 01
converts it to use the generic kernel rhashtable which simplifies the
code a lot and removes duplicated functionality. The convert also makes
hash_elasticity obsolete as the generic rhashtable already has such
checks and has a fixed elasticity of RHT_ELASTICITY (16 currently) so we
emit a warning whenever elasticity is set and return RHT_ELASTICITY when
read (patch 03). Patch 02 converts the multicast code to use non-bh RCU
flavor as it was mixing bh and non-bh. Since now we have the generic
rhashtable which autoshrinks we can be more liberal with the default
hash maximum so patch 04 increases it to 4096 and moves it to a define in
br_private.h.
v3: add non-rcu br_mdb_get variant and use it where we have
multicast_lock, drop special hash_max handling and just set it where
needed and use non-bh RCU consistently (patch 02, new)
v2: send the latest version of the set which handles when IGMP snooping
is not defined, changes are in patch 01

rhashtable implementation in favor of the kernel's generic rhashtable.
The hash maximum is kept and the rhashtable's size is used to do a loose
check if it's reached in which case we revert to the old behaviour and
disable further bridge multicast processing. Also now we can support any
hash maximum, doesn't need to be a power of 2.
v3: add non-rcu br_mdb_get variant and use it where multicast_lock is

TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option or sysctl was added in linux-3.12
as a step to enable bigger tcp sndbuf limits.
It works reasonably well, but the following happens :
Once the limit is reached, TCP stack generates
an [E]POLLOUT event for every incoming ACK packet.
This causes a high number of context switches.
This patch implements the strategy David Miller added
in sock_def_write_space() :
- If TCP socket has a notsent_lowat constraint of X bytes,
allow sendmsg() to fill up to X bytes, but send [E]POLLOUT
only if number of notsent bytes is below X/2
This considerably reduces TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT overhead,
while allowing to keep the pipe full.

mlxsw: Add one-armed router support
Up until now, when a packet was routed by the ASIC through the same
router interface (RIF) from which it ingressed from, the ASIC passed the
sole copy of the packet to the kernel. This allowed the kernel to route
the packet and also potentially generate an ICMP redirect.
There are scenarios (e.g., "one-armed router") where packets are
intentionally routed this way and are therefore not deemed as
exceptions. In such scenarios the current method of trapping packets to
the CPU is problematic, as it results in major packet loss.
This patchset solves the problem by having the ASIC forward the packet,
but also send a copy to the CPU, which gives the kernel the opportunity
to generate required exceptions.
To prevent the kernel from forwarding such packets again, the driver
marks them with 'offload_l3_fwd_mark', which causes the kernel to
consume them in ip{,6}_forward_finish().
Patch #1 renames 'offload_mr_fwd_mark' to 'offload_l3_fwd_mark'. When
set, the field indicates that a packet was already forwarded in L3
(unicast / multicast) by a capable device.
Patch #2 teaches the kernel to consume unicast packets that have
'offload_l3_fwd_mark' set.
Patch #3 changes mlxsw to mirror loopbacked (iRIF == eRIF) packets,
instead of trapping them.
Patch #4 adds a test case for above mentioned scenario.

When the ASIC detects that a unicast packet is routed through the same
router interface (RIF) from which it ingressed (iRIF == eRIF), it raises
a trap called loopback error (LBERROR).
Thus far, this trap was configured to send a sole copy of the packet to
the CPU so that ICMP redirect packets could be potentially generated by
the kernel.
This is problematic as the CPU cannot forward packets at 3.2Tb/s and
there are scenarios (e.g., "one-armed router") where iRIF == eRIF is not
an exception.
Solve this by changing the trap to send a copy of the packet to the CPU.
To prevent the kernel from forwarding the packet again, it is marked
with 'offload_l3_fwd_mark'.
The trap is configured in a trap group of its own with a dedicated
policer in order not to prevent packets trapped by other traps from
reaching the CPU.

Packets marked with 'offload_l3_fwd_mark' were already forwarded by a
capable device and should not be forwarded again by the kernel.
Therefore, have the kernel consume them.
The check is performed in ip{,6}_forward_finish() in order to allow the
kernel to process such packets in ip{,6}_forward() and generate required
exceptions. For example, ICMP redirects.

Commit abf4bb6b63 ("skbuff: Add the offload_mr_fwd_mark field") added
the 'offload_mr_fwd_mark' field to indicate that a packet has already
undergone L3 multicast routing by a capable device. The field is used to
prevent the kernel from forwarding a packet through a netdev through
which the device has already forwarded the packet.
Currently, no unicast packet is routed by both the device and the
kernel, but this is about to change by subsequent patches and we need to
be able to mark such packets, so that they will no be forwarded twice.
Instead of adding yet another field to 'struct sk_buff', we can just
rename 'offload_mr_fwd_mark' to 'offload_l3_fwd_mark', as a packet
either has a multicast or a unicast destination IP.
While at it, add a comment about both 'offload_fwd_mark' and
'offload_l3_fwd_mark'.

Functions __set_port_type and mlx4_check_port_params returned
-EINVAL while the proper return code is -EOPNOTSUPP as a
result of an unsupported operation. All drivers should generate
this and all users should check for it when detecting an
unsupported functionality.
