For each RX/TX ring and its CQ, allocation is done on a NUMA node that
corresponds to the core that the data structure should operate on.
The assumption is that the core number is reflected by the ring index.
The affected allocations are the ring/CQ data structures,
the TX/RX info and the shared HW/SW buffer.
For TX rings, each core has rings of all UPs.

To guarantee that all unused fields in all FW commands for both inboxes

This is especially important for SRIOV comm-channel virtual commands
(such as QUERY_FUNC_CAP), where if new fields are added to support new
features, the driver can depend on older kernels passing zeroes in these
fields.

In addition to zeroing out the mailbox buffer at allocation time, all

====================
l2 hardware accelerated macvlans

This patch adds support to offload macvlan net_devices to the
hardware. With these patches packets are pushed to the macvlan
net_device directly and do not pass through the lower dev.

The patches here have made it through multiple iterations
each with a slightly different focus. First I tried to
push these as a new link type called "VMDQ". The patches
shown here,

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/237617

Following this implementation I renamed the link type
"VSI" and addressed various comments. Finally Neil
Horman picked up the patches and integrated the offload
into the macvlan code. Here,

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/285658

The attached series is clean-up of his patches, with a
few fixes.

If folks find this series acceptable there are a few
items we can work on next. First broadcast and multicast
will use the hardware even for local traffic with this
series. It would be best (I think) to use the software
path for macvlan to macvlan traffic and save the PCIe
bus. This depends on how much you value CPU time vs
PCIE bandwidth. This will need another patch series
to flush out.

Also this series only allows for layer 2 mac forwarding
where some hardware supports more interesting forwarding
capabilities. Integrating with OVS may be useful here.

As always any comments/feedback welcome.

My basic I/O test is here but I've also done some link
testing, SRIOV/DCB with macvlans and others,

Changelog:
v2: two fixes to ixgbe when all features DCB, FCoE, SR-IOV
    are enabled with macvlans. A VMDQ_P() reference
    should have been accel->pool and do not set the offset
    of the ring index from dfwd add call. The offset is used
    by SR-IOV so clearing it can cause SR-IOV quue index's
    to go sideways. With these fixes testing macvlan's with
    SRIOV enabled was successful.
v3: addressed Neil's comments in ixgbe

If appending a received fragment to the pending fragment chain
in a unicast link fails, the current code tries to force a retransmission
of the fragment by decrementing the 'next received sequence number'
field in the link. This is done under the assumption that the failure
is caused by an out-of-memory situation, an assumption that does
not hold true after the previous patch in this series.

A failure to append a fragment can now only be caused by a protocol
violation by the sending peer, and it must hence be assumed that it
is either malicious or buggy.  Either way, the correct behavior is now
to reset the link instead of trying to revert its sequence number.
So, this is what we do in this commit.

When the first fragment of a long data data message is received on a link, a
reassembly buffer large enough to hold the data from this and all subsequent
fragments of the message is allocated. The payload of each new fragment is
copied into this buffer upon arrival. When the last fragment is received, the
reassembled message is delivered upwards to the port/socket layer.

Not only is this an inefficient approach, but it may also cause bursts of
reassembly failures in low memory situations. since we may fail to allocate
the necessary large buffer in the first place. Furthermore, after 100 subsequent
such failures the link will be reset, something that in reality aggravates the
situation.

To remedy this problem, this patch introduces a different approach. Instead of
allocating a big reassembly buffer, we now append the arriving fragments
to a reassembly chain on the link, and deliver the whole chain up to the
socket layer once the last fragment has been received. This is safe because
the retransmission layer of a TIPC link always delivers packets in strict
uninterrupted order, to the reassembly layer as to all other upper layers.
Hence there can never be more than one fragment chain pending reassembly at
any given time in a link, and we can trust (but still verify) that the
fragments will be chained up in the correct order.

When a message fragment is received in a broadcast or unicast link,
the reception code will append the fragment payload to a big reassembly
buffer through a call to the function tipc_recv_fragm(). However, after
the return of that call, the logics goes on and passes the fragment
buffer to the function tipc_net_route_msg(), which will simply drop it.
This behavior is a remnant from the now obsolete multi-cluster
functionality, and has no relevance in the current code base.

Although currently harmless, this unnecessary call would be fatal
after applying the next patch in this series, which introduces
a completely new reassembly algorithm. So we change the code to
eliminate the redundant call.

We used to use a percpu structure vq_index to record the cpu to queue

loses all other XPS functionality such as allowing user to configure
their own transmission steering strategy.

So this patch switches to use XPS and suggest a default mapping when
the number of cpus is equal to the number of queues. With XPS support,
there's no need for keeping per-cpu vq_index and .ndo_select_queue(),
so they were removed also.

Sockets marked with IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE won't do path mtu discovery,
their sockets won't accept and install new path mtu information and they
will always use the interface mtu for outgoing packets. It is guaranteed
that the packet is not fragmented locally. But we won't set the DF-Flag
on the outgoing frames.

Florian Weimer had the idea to use this flag to ensure DNS servers are
never generating outgoing fragments. They may well be fragmented on the
path, but the server never stores or usees path mtu values, which could
well be forged in an attack.

(The root of the problem with path MTU discovery is that there is
no reliable way to authenticate ICMP Fragmentation Needed But DF Set
messages because they are sent from intermediate routers with their
source addresses, and the IMCP payload will not always contain sufficient
information to identify a flow.)

Recent research in the DNS community showed that it is possible to
implement an attack where DNS cache poisoning is feasible by spoofing
fragments. This work was done by Amir Herzberg and Haya Shulman:
<https://sites.google.com/site/hayashulman/files/fragmentation-poisoning.pdf>

This issue was previously discussed among the DNS community, e.g.
<http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsext/current/msg01204.html>,
without leading to fixes.

This patch depends on the patch "ipv4: fix DO and PROBE pmtu mode
regarding local fragmentation with UFO/CORK" for the enforcement of the
non-fragmentable checks. If other users than ip_append_page/data should
use this semantic too, we have to add a new flag to IPCB(skb)->flags to
suppress local fragmentation and check for this in ip_finish_output.

Many thanks to Florian Weimer for the idea and feedback while implementing
this patch.

The huawei_cdc_ncm driver.

Enrico has been kind enough to let me repost his driver with the changes

The changes I have made from Enricos original v5 series to this version
are:

v6:
 - fix to avoid corrupting drvstate->pmcount
 - fix error return value from huawei_cdc_ncm_suspend()
 - drop redundant testing for subdriver->suspend during resume
 - broke a few lines to keep within the 80 columns recommendation
 - rebased on top of current net-next

Enrico's orginal introduction to the v5 series follows below.  It explains
the background much better than I can.

Bjørn

[quote Enrico Mioso]

So this is a new, revised, edition of the huawei_cdc_ncm.c driver, which
supports devices resembling the NCM standard, but using it also as a mean
to encapsulate other protocols, as is the case for the Huawei E3131 and
E3251 modem devices.
Some precisations are needed however - and I encourage discussion on this: and
that's why I'm sending this message with a broader CC.
Merging those patches might change:
- the way Modem Manager interacts with those devices
- some regressions might be possible if there are some unknown firmware
  variants around (Franko?)

First of all: I observed the behaviours of two devices.
Huawei E3131: this device doesn't accept NDIS setup requests unless they're
sent via the embedded AT channel exposed by this driver.
So actually we gain funcionality in this case!

The second case, is the Huawei E3251: which works with standard NCM driver,
still exposing an AT embedded channel. Whith this patch set applied, you gain
some funcionality, loosing the ability to catch standard NCM events for now.
The device will work in both ways with no problems, but this has to be
acknowledged and discussed. Might be we can develop this driver further to
change this, when more devices are tested.

We where thinking Huawei changed their interfaces on new devices - but probably
this driver only works around a nice firmware bug present in E3131, which
prevented the modem from being used in NDIS mode.

I think committing this is definitely wortth-while, since it will allow for
more Huawei devices to be used without serial connection. Some devices like the
E3251 also, reports some status information only via the embedded AT channel,
at least in my case.
Note: I'm not subscribed to any list except the Modem Manager's one, so please
CC me, thanks!!
