====================
 This patchset aims to lay the groundwork, and do the initial conversion to
RCUism. I decided that it'll be much better to make the bonding RCU
conversion gradual, so patches can be reviewed and tested better rather
than having one huge patch (which I did in the beginning, before this).
The first patch is straightforward and it converts the bonding to the
standard list API, simplifying a lot of code, removing unnecessary local
variables and allowing to use the nice rculist API later. It also takes
care of some minor styling issues (re-arranging local variables longest ->
shortest, removing brackets for single statement if/else, leaving new line
before return statement etc.).
 The second patch simplifies the conversion by removing unnecessary
read_lock(&bond->curr_slave_lock) in xmit paths that are to be converted
later, because we only care if the pointer is NULL or a slave there, since
we already have bond->lock the slave can't go away.
 The third patch simplifies the broadcast xmit function by removing
the use of curr_active_slave and converting to standard list API. Also this
design of the broadcast xmit function avoids a subtle double packet tx race
when converted to RCU.
 The fourth patch factors out the code that transmits skb through a slave
with given id (i.e. rr_tx_counter in rr mode, hashed value in xor mode) and
simplifies the active-backup xmit path because bond_dev_queue_xmit always
consumes the skb. The new bond_xmit_slave_id function is used in rr and xor
modes currently, but the plans are to use it in 3ad mode as well thus it's
made global. I've left the function prototype to be 81 chars so I wouldn't
break it, if this is an issue I can always break it in more lines.
 The fifth patch introduces RCU by converting attach/detach and release to
RCU. It also converts dereferencing of curr_active_slave to rcu_dereference
although it's not fully converted to RCU, that is needed for the converted
xmit paths. And it converts roundrobin, broadcast, xor and active-backup
xmit paths to RCU. The 3ad and ALB/TLB modes acquire read_lock(&bond->lock)
to make sure that no slave will be removed and to sync properly with
enslave and release as before.
 This way for the price of a little complexity, we'll be able to convert
individual parts of the bonding to RCU, and test them easier in the
process. If this patchset is accepted in some form, I'll post followups
in the next weeks that gradually convert the bonding to RCU and remove the
need for the rwlocks.
 For performance notes please refer to patch 5 (RCU conversion one).

This patch does the initial bonding conversion to RCU. After it the
following modes are protected by RCU alone: roundrobin, active-backup,
broadcast and xor. Modes ALB/TLB and 3ad still acquire bond->lock for
reading, and will be dealt with later. curr_active_slave needs to be
dereferenced via rcu in the converted modes because the only thing
protecting the slave after this patch is rcu_read_lock, so we need the
proper barrier for weakly ordered archs and to make sure we don't have
stale pointer. It's not tagged with __rcu yet because there's still work
to be done to remove the curr_slave_lock, so sparse will complain when
rcu_assign_pointer and rcu_dereference are used, but the alternative to use
rcu_dereference_protected would've created much bigger code churn which is
more difficult to test and review. That will be converted in time.

1. Active-backup mode
 1.1 Perf recording while doing iperf -P 4
  - old bonding: iperf spent 0.55% in bonding, system spent 0.29% CPU
                 in bonding
  - new bonding: iperf spent 0.29% in bonding, system spent 0.15% CPU
                 in bonding
 1.2. Bandwidth measurements
  - old bonding: 16.1 gbps consistently
  - new bonding: 17.5 gbps consistently

2. Round-robin mode
 2.1 Perf recording while doing iperf -P 4
  - old bonding: iperf spent 0.51% in bonding, system spent 0.24% CPU
                 in bonding
  - new bonding: iperf spent 0.16% in bonding, system spent 0.11% CPU
                 in bonding
 2.2 Bandwidth measurements
  - old bonding: 8 gbps (variable due to packet reorderings)
  - new bonding: 10 gbps (variable due to packet reorderings)

Of course the latency has improved in all converted modes, and moreover
while
doing enslave/release (since it doesn't affect tx anymore).

Also I've stress tested all modes doing enslave/release in a loop while
transmitting traffic.

I factored out the tx xmit code which relies on slave id in
bond_xmit_slave_id. It is global because later it can be used also in
3ad mode xmit. Unnecessary obvious comments are removed. Active-backup
mode is simplified because bond_dev_queue_xmit always consumes the skb.
bond_xmit_xor becomes one line because of bond_xmit_slave_id.
bond_for_each_slave_from is not used in bond_xmit_slave_id because later
when RCU is used we can avoid important race condition by using standard
rculist routines.

We don't need to start from the curr_active_slave as the frame will be
sent to all eligible slaves anyway, so we remove the unnecessary local
variables, checks and comments, and make it use the standard list API.
This has the nice side-effect that later when it's converted to RCU
a race condition will be avoided which could lead to double packet tx.

In all the cases we already hold bond->lock for reading, so the slave
can't get away and the check != NULL is sufficient. curr_active_slave
can still change after the read_lock is unlocked prior to use of the
dereferenced value, so there's no need for it. It either contains a
valid slave which we use (and can't get away), or it is NULL which is
checked.
In some places the read_lock of curr_slave_lock was left because we need
it not to change while performing some action (e.g. syncing current
active slave's addresses, sending ARP requests through the active slave)
such cases will be dealt with individually while converting to RCU.

This patch aims to remove struct bonding's first_slave and struct
slave's next and prev pointers, and replace them with the standard Linux
list API. The old macros are converted to list API as well and some new
primitives are available now. The checks if there're slaves that used
slave_cnt have been replaced by the list_empty macro.
Also a few small style fixes, changing longest -> shortest line in local
variable declarations, leaving an empty line before return and removing
unnecessary brackets.
This is the first step to gradual RCU conversion.

2001::803/64 is still alive, which make onlink=1 in ipv6_del_addr, this is
where the substantial difference between same prefix configuration and
different prefix configuration :) So packet are still transmitted out to
2001::806 with source address as 2001::804/64.

So bump genid will clear rt in (3), and up layer protocol will eventually
find the right one for themselves.

====================
this is a pull-request for net-next/master. It consists of two patches

On very rare occasions, repeated load/unload stress test in the presence of
our storage driver (bnx2i/bnx2fc) causes a kernel panic in bnx2x code
(NULL pointer dereference). Stack traces indicate the issue happens during MAC
configuration; thorough code review showed that indeed several races exist
in which one thread can iterate over the list of configured MACs while another
deletes entries from the same list.

This patch adds a varient on the single-writer/Multiple-reader lock mechanism -
It utilizes an already exsiting bottom-half lock, using it so that Whenever
a writer is unable to continue due to the existence of another writer/reader,
it pends its request for future deliverance.
The writer / last readers will check for the existence of such requests and
perform them instead of the original initiator.
This prevents the writer from having to sleep while waiting for the lock
to be accessible, which might cause deadlocks given the locks already
held by the writer.

Another result of this patch is that setting of Rx Mode is now made in
sleepable context - Setting of Rx Mode is made under a bottom-half lock, which
was always nontrivial for the bnx2x driver, as the HW/FW configuration requires
wait for completions.
Since sleep was impossible (due to the sleepless-context), various mechanisms
were utilized to prevent the calling thread from sleep, but the truth was that
when the caller thread (i.e, the one calling ndo_set_rx_mode()) returned, the
Rx mode was still not set in HW/FW.

bnx2x_set_rx_mode() will now overtly schedule for the Rx changes to be
configured by the sp_rtnl_task which hold the RTNL lock and is sleepable
context.

After commit 4aa5dee4 ("net: convert resend IGMP to notifier event")
we try to acquire rtnl in bond_resend_igmp_join_requests but it can be
scheduled with rtnl already held (e.g. when bond_change_active_slave is
called with rtnl) causing a loop of immediate reschedules + calls because
rtnl_trylock fails each time since it's being already held.
For me this issue leads to system hangs very easy:
modprobe bonding; ifconfig bond0 up; ifenslave bond0 eth0; rmmod
bonding;

The fix is to introduce a small (1 jiffy) delay which is enough for the
sections holding rtnl to finish without putting any strain on the system.
Also adjust the timer in bond_change_active_slave to be 1 jiffy, since
most of the time it's called with rtnl already held.

The code used to call napi_disable() in an interrupt handler
(from smp_call_function), which in turn could call msleep().
Unfortunately you can't sleep in an interrupt context.

Luckily it turns out all the NAPI support functions are
just operating on data structures and not on any deeply
per-cpu data, so we can arrange to set up and tear down all
the NAPI state on the core driving the process, and just
do the IRQ enable/disable as a smp_call_function thing.

David suggested to add a BUG_ON() to catch if some layer
sets skb->sk pointer without a corresponding destructor.

As skb can sit in a queue, it's mandatory to make sure the
socket cannot disappear, and it's usually done by taking a
reference on the socket, then releasing it from the skb
destructor.

This patch is a follow-up to commit c34a7612

With the addition of the suppress operation
(7764a45a ("fib_rules: add .suppress
operation") we rely on accurate error reporting of the fib_rules.actions.

fib6_rule_action always returned -EAGAIN in case we could not find a
matching route and 0 if a rule was matched. This also included a match
for blackhole or prohibited rule actions which could get suppressed by
the new logic.

So adapt fib6_rule_action to always return the correct error code as
its counterpart fib4_rule_action does. This also fixes a possiblity of
nullptr-deref where we don't find a table, thus rt == NULL. Because
the condition rt != ip6_null_entry still holdes it seems we could later
get a nullptr bug on dereference rt->dst.

This change adds a new operation to the fib_rules_ops struct; it allows the
suppression of routing decisions if certain criteria are not met by its
results.

The first implemented constraint is a minimum prefix length added to the
structures of routing rules. If a rule is added with a minimum prefix length
>0, only routes meeting this threshold will be considered. Any other (more
general) routing table entries will be ignored.

When configuring a system with multiple network uplinks and default routes, it
is often convinient to reference the main routing table multiple times - but
omitting the default route. Using this patch and a modified "ip" utility, this
can be achieved by using the following command sequence:

  $ ip route add table secuplink default via 10.42.23.1

  $ ip rule add pref 100            table main prefixlength 1
  $ ip rule add pref 150 fwmark 0xA table secuplink

With this setup, packets marked 0xA will be processed by the additional routing
table "secuplink", but only if no suitable route in the main routing table can
be found. By using a minimal prefixlength of 1, the default route (/0) of the
table "main" is hidden to packets processed by rule 100; packets traveling to
destinations with more specific routing entries are processed as usual.
