We check tx avail through vhost_enable_notify() in the past which is
wrong since it only checks whether or not guest has filled more
available buffer since last avail idx synchronization which was just
done by vhost_vq_avail_empty() before. What we really want is checking
pending buffers in the avail ring. Fix this by calling
vhost_vq_avail_empty() instead.

This issue could be noticed by doing netperf TCP_RR benchmark as
client from guest (but not host). With this fix, TCP_RR from guest to
localhost restores from 1375.91 trans per sec to 55235.28 trans per
sec on my laptop (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5600U CPU @ 2.60GHz).

When an RxRPC service packet comes in, the target connection is looked up
by an rb-tree search under RCU and a read-locked seqlock; the seqlock retry
check is, however, currently skipped if we got a match, but probably
shouldn't be in case the connection we found gets replaced whilst we're
doing a search.

Make the lookup procedure always go through need_seqretry(), even if the
lookup was successful.  This makes sure we always pick up on a write-lock
event.

On the other hand, since we don't take a ref on the object, but rely on RCU
to prevent its destruction after dropping the seqlock, I'm not sure this is
necessary.

The wrong register is checked for the Tx flow control bit,
it should have been maccfg1 not maccfg2.
This went unnoticed for so long probably because the impact is
hardly visible, not to mention the tangled code from adjust_link().
First, link flow control (i.e. handling of Rx/Tx link level pause frames)
is disabled by default (needs to be enabled via 'ethtool -A').
Secondly, maccfg2 always returns 0 for tx_flow_oldval (except for a few
old boards), which results in Tx flow control remaining always on
once activated.

net: dsa: Allow switch drivers to indicate number of TX queues

This patch series extracts the parts of the patch set that are likely not to be
controversial and actually bringing multi-queue support to DSA-created network
devices.

With these patches, we can now use sch_multiq as documented under
Documentation/networking/multique.txt and let applications dedice the switch
port output queue they want to use. Currently only Broadcom tags utilize that
information.

Resending based on David's feedback regarding the patches not in patchwork.

Changes in v2:
- use a proper define for the number of TX queues in bcm_sf2.c (Andrew)

Changes from RFC:

- dropped the ability to configure RX queues since we don't do anything with
  those just yet
- dropped the patches that dealt with binding the DSA slave network devices
  queues with their master network devices queues this will be worked on
  separately.

flow_dissector: Flow dissector fixes

This patch set fixes some basic issues with __skb_flow_dissect function.

Items addressed:
  - Cleanup control flow in the function; in particular eliminate a

  - Add limits for number of encapsulations and headers that can be
    dissected

v2:
  - Simplify the logic for limits on flow dissection. Just set the

    processes. The accounted headers includes encapsulation headers,
    extension headers, or other shim headers.

In flow dissector there are no limits to the number of nested
encapsulations or headers that might be dissected which makes for a
nice DOS attack. This patch sets a limit of the number of headers
that flow dissector will parse.

Headers includes network layer headers, transport layer headers, shim
headers for encapsulation, IPv6 extension headers, etc. The limit for
maximum number of headers to parse has be set to fifteen to account for
a reasonable number of encapsulations, extension headers, VLAN,
in a packet. Note that this limit does not supercede the STOP_AT_*
flags which may stop processing before the headers limit is reached.

Problem is that nr_node_ids is a signed integer,
NUMA_NO_NODE is also an integer, so it is very tempting
to declare numa_node as a signed integer.

This means the typical test to validate a user provided value :

        if (numa_node != NUMA_NO_NODE &&

Netfilter updates for next-net (part 2)

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for net-next. This
patchset includes updates for nf_tables, removal of
CONFIG_NETFILTER_DEBUG and a new mode for xt_hashlimit. More
specifically, they:

1) Add new rate match mode for hashlimit, this introduces a new revision
   for this match. The idea is to stop matching packets until ratelimit
   criteria stands true. Patch from Vishwanath Pai.

2) Add ->select_ops indirection to nf_tables named objects, so we can
   choose between different flavours of the same object type, patch from
   Pablo M. Bermudo.

3) Shorter function names in nft_limit, basically:
   s/nft_limit_pkt_bytes/nft_limit_bytes, also from Pablo M. Bermudo.

4) Add new stateful limit named object type, this allows us to create
   limit policies that you can identify via name, also from Pablo.

5) Remove unused hooknum parameter in conntrack ->packet indirection.
   From Florian Westphal.

6) Patches to remove CONFIG_NETFILTER_DEBUG and macros such as
   IP_NF_ASSERT and IP_NF_ASSERT. From Varsha Rao.

7) Add nf_tables_updchain() helper function and use it from
   nf_tables_newchain() to make it more maintainable. Similarly,
   add nf_tables_addchain() and use it too.

8) Add new netlink NLM_F_NONREC flag, this flag should only be used for
   deletion requests, specifically, to support non-recursive deletion.
   Based on what we discussed during NFWS'17 in Faro.

9) Use NLM_F_NONREC from table and sets in nf_tables.

10) Support for recursive chain deletion. Table and set deletion
    commands come with an implicit content flush on deletion, while
    chains do not. This patch addresses this inconsistency by adding
    the code to perform recursive chain deletions. This also comes with
    the bits to deal with the new NLM_F_NONREC netlink flag.
====================
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch sorts out an asymmetry in deletions. Currently, table and set
deletion commands come with an implicit content flush on deletion.
However, chain deletion results in -EBUSY if there is content in this
chain, so no implicit flush happens. So you have to send a flush command
in first place to delete chains, this is inconsistent and it can be
annoying in terms of user experience.

This patch uses the new NLM_F_NONREC flag to request non-recursive chain
deletion, ie. if the chain to be removed contains rules, then this
returns EBUSY. This problem was discussed during the NFWS'17 in Faro,
Portugal. In iptables, you hit -EBUSY if you try to delete a chain that
contains rules, so you have to flush first before you can remove
anything. Since iptables-compat uses the nf_tables netlink interface, it
has to use the NLM_F_NONREC flag from userspace to retain the original
iptables semantics, ie.  bail out on removing chains that contain rules.

Bail out if user requests non-recursive deletion for tables and sets.
This new flags tells nf_tables netlink interface to reject deletions if
tables and sets have content.

In the last NFWS in Faro, Portugal, we discussed that netlink is lacking
the semantics to request non recursive deletions, ie. do not delete an
object iff it has child objects that hang from this parent object that
the user requests to be deleted.

We need this new flag to solve a problem for the iptables-compat
backward compatibility utility, that runs iptables commands using the
existing nf_tables netlink interface. Specifically, custom chains in
iptables cannot be deleted if there are rules in it, however, nf_tables
allows to remove any chain that is populated with content. To sort out
this asymmetry, iptables-compat userspace sets this new NLM_F_NONREC
flag to obtain the same semantics that iptables provides.

This new flag should only be used for deletion requests. Note this new
flag value overlaps with the existing:

* NLM_F_ROOT for get requests.
* NLM_F_REPLACE for new requests.

However, those flags should not ever be used in deletion requests.

Wrap the chain addition path in a function to make it more maintainable.

nf_tables_newchain() is too large, wrap the chain update path in a
function to make it more maintainable.

This patch removes CONFIG_NETFILTER_DEBUG and _ASSERT() macros as they
are no longer required. Replace _ASSERT() macros with WARN_ON().
