openvswitch: add IPv6 tunneling support

This builds on the previous work that added IPv6 support to lwtunnels and
adds IPv6 tunneling support to ovs.

To use IPv6 tunneling, there needs to be a metadata based tunnel net_device
created and added to the ovs bridge. Currently, only vxlan is supported by
the kernel, with geneve to follow shortly. There's no need nor intent to add
a support for this into the vport-vxlan (etc.) compat layer.

v3: dropped the last two patches added in v2.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-10-03

This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf, some of which are to
resolve more Red Hat bugzilla issues.

Jiang Liu updates the i40e and i40evf drivers to use numa_mem_id()
instead of numa_node_id() to get the nearest node with memory which
better supports memoryless nodes.

Anjali fixes an issue from Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>,
to resolve a memory leak in X722 RSS configuration path, where we should
free the memory allocated before exiting.

Shannon modifies the drivers to ensure we have the spinlocks before we
clear the ARQ and ASQ management registers.  In addition, we widen the
locked portion insert a sanity check to ensure we are working with safe
register values.

Mitch fixes an issue where under certain circumstances, we can get an
extra VF_RESOURCES message from the PF driver at runtime.  When this
occurs, we need to parse it because our VSI may have changed and that
will affect the relationship with the PF driver.  But this parsing also
blows away our current MAC address, so resolve the issue by restoring
the current MAC address from the netdev struct after we parse the
resource message.

Improve ASIX RX memory allocation error handling

The ASIX RX handler algorithm is weak on error handling.
There is a design flaw in the ASIX RX handler algorithm because the
implementation for handling RX Ethernet frames for the DUB-E100 C1 can
have Ethernet frames spanning multiple URBs. This means that payload data
from more than 1 URB is sometimes needed to fill the socket buffer with a
complete Ethernet frame. When the URB with the start of an Ethernet frame
is received then an attempt is made to allocate a socket buffer. If the
memory allocation fails then the algorithm sets the buffer pointer member
to NULL and the function exits (no crash yet). Subsequently, the RX hander
is called again to process the next URB which assumes there is a socket
buffer available and the kernel crashes when there is no buffer.

This patchset implements an improvement to the RX handling algorithm to
avoid a crash when no memory is available for the socket buffer.

The patchset will apply cleanly to the net-next master branch but the
created kernel has not been tested. The driver was tested on ARM kernels
v3.8 and v3.14 for a commercial product.

Avoid a loss of synchronisation of the Ethernet Data header 32-bit
word due to a failure to get a netdev socket buffer.

The ASIX RX handling algorithm returned 0 upon a failure to get
an allocation of a netdev socket buffer. This causes the URB
processing to stop which potentially causes a loss of synchronisation
with the Ethernet Data header 32-bit word. Therefore, subsequent
processing of URBs may be rejected due to a loss of synchronisation.
This may cause additional good Ethernet frames to be discarded
along with outputting of synchronisation error messages.

Implement a solution which checks whether a netdev socket buffer
has been allocated before trying to copy the Ethernet frame into
the netdev socket buffer. But continue to process the URB so that
synchronisation is maintained. Therefore, only a single Ethernet
frame is discarded when no netdev socket buffer is available.

When RX Ethernet frames span multiple URB socket buffers,
the data stream may suffer a discontinuity which will cause
the current Ethernet frame in the netdev socket buffer
to be incomplete. This frame needs to be discarded instead
of appending unrelated data from the current URB socket buffer
to the Ethernet frame in the netdev socket buffer. This avoids
creating a corrupted Ethernet frame in the netdev socket buffer.

A discontinuity can occur when the previous URB socket buffer
held an incomplete Ethernet frame due to truncation or a
URB socket buffer containing the end of the Ethernet frame
was missing.

Therefore, add a sanity test for when an Ethernet frame
spans multiple URB socket buffers to check that the remaining
bytes of the currently received Ethernet frame point to
a good Data header 32-bit word of the next Ethernet
frame. Upon error, reset the remaining bytes variable to
zero and discard the current netdev socket buffer.
Assume that the Data header is located at the start of
the current socket buffer and attempt to process the next
Ethernet frame from there. This avoids unnecessarily
discarding a good URB socket buffer that contains a new
Ethernet frame.

The code is checking that the Ethernet frame will fit into a
netdev allocated socket buffer within the constraints of MTU size,
Ethernet header length plus VLAN header length.

The original code was checking rx->remaining each loop of the while
loop that processes multiple Ethernet frames per URB and/or Ethernet
frames that span across URBs. rx->remaining decreases per while loop
so there is no point in potentially checking multiple times that the
Ethernet frame (remaining part) will fit into the netdev socket buffer.

The modification checks that the size of the Ethernet frame will fit
the netdev socket buffer before allocating the netdev socket buffer.
This avoids grabbing memory and then deciding that the Ethernet frame
is too big and then freeing the memory.

Tidy-up the Data header 32-bit word synchronisation logic in
asix_rx_fixup_internal() by removing redundant logic tests.

The code is looking at the following cases of the Data header
32-bit word that is present before each Ethernet frame:

a) all 32 bits of the Data header word are in the URB socket buffer
b) first 16 bits of the Data header word are at the end of the URB
   socket buffer
c) last 16 bits of the Data header word are at the start of the URB
   socket buffer eg. split_head = true

Note that the lifetime of rx->split_head exists outside of the
function call and is accessed per processing of each URB. Therefore,
split_head being true acts on the next URB to be processed.

To check for b) the offset will be 16 bits (2 bytes) from the end of
the buffer then indicate split_head is true.
To check for c) split_head must be true because the first 16 bits
have been found.
To check for a) else c)

Note that the || logic of the old code included the state
(skb->len - offset == sizeof(u16) && rx->split_head) which is not
possible because the split_head cannot be true whilst checking for b).
This is because the split_head indicates that the first 16 bits have
been found and that is not possible whilst checking for the first 16
bits. Therefore simplify the logic.

The Data header synchronisation is easier to understand
if the variables "remaining" and "size" are renamed.

Therefore, the lifetime of the "remaining" variable exists
outside of asix_rx_fixup_internal() and is used to indicate
any remaining pending bytes of the Ethernet frame that need
to be obtained from the next socket buffer. This allows an
Ethernet frame to span across multiple socket buffers.

"size" is now local to asix_rx_fixup_internal() and contains
the size read from the Data header 32-bit word.

Add "copy_length" to hold the number of the Ethernet frame
bytes (maybe a part of a full frame) that are to be copied
out of the socket buffer.

The current ongoing effort to dump existing cBPF seccomp filters back
to user space requires to hold the pre-transformed instructions like
we do in case of socket filters from sk_attach_filter() side, so they
can be reloaded in original form at a later point in time by utilities
such as criu.

To prepare for this, simply extend the bpf_prog_create_from_user()
API to hold a flag that tells whether we should store the original
or not. Also, fanout filters could make use of that in future for
things like diag. While fanout filters already use bpf_prog_destroy(),
move seccomp over to them as well to handle original programs when
present.

Commit f711a6ae ("net/rds: RDS-TCP: Always create a new rds_sock
for an incoming connection.") modified rds-tcp so that an incoming SYN
would ignore an existing "client" TCP connection which had the local
port set to the transient port.  The motivation for ignoring the existing
"client" connection in f711a6ae was to avoid race conditions and an
endless duel of reconnect attempts triggered by a restart/abort of one
of the nodes in the TCP connection.

However, having separate sockets for active and passive sides
is avoidable, and the simpler model of a single TCP socket for
both send and receives of all RDS connections associated with
that tcp socket makes for easier observability. We avoid the race
conditions from f711a6ae by attempting reconnects in rds_conn_shutdown
if, and only if, the (new) c_outgoing bit is set for RDS_TRANS_TCP.
The c_outgoing bit is initialized in __rds_conn_create().

A side-effect of re-using the client rds_connection for an incoming
SYN is the potential of encountering duelling SYNs, i.e., we
have an outgoing RDS_CONN_CONNECTING socket when we get the incoming
SYN. The logic to arbitrate this criss-crossing SYN exchange in
rds_tcp_accept_one() has been modified to emulate the BGP state
machine: the smaller IP address should back off from the connection attempt.

The XGBE_LINK bit is used just to determine whether to call the
netif_carrier_on/off functions. Rather than define and use this bit,
just call the functions. The netif_carrier_ok function can be used in
place of checking the XGBE_LINK bit in the future.

The driver creates, flushes and destroys a device workqueue but queues
work to the system workqueue. Switch from using the system workqueue to
the device workqueue.
