no of cache misses and resulted in ~2% increase in no of packets
handled on a core.

Also modified elements with :1 notation to boolean, to be

API set for HW Buffer management

This is the sixth version of the API set for HW Buffer management (that was
initially submitted here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2125152).

This version is just a rebasing onto the last net-next. I also added
the Tested-by flag from Sebastian Careba : "The patch set applies
successfully and it works well, no more Samba issues any longer".

For the record in the previous versions I made the following changes:
v4 -> v5:
- Add a field with the size of the buffer of the pool was added. It
  then allow to fix some misused size in the mvneta_bm code when using
  the new framework.

- Add a new patch from Marcin for sram allowing to require
  non-bufferable access to the memory. It was needed for the hardware
  buffer management of the mvneta.

- Fix the build issue notified by the 0-day builder when building the
  drivers as module.

v3 -> v4
- Fix build issue when HWBM is not selected

v2 -> v3
- Make a HWBM and a SWBM version of the mvneta_rx() function in order
  to reduce the the conditional code. Kept a condition inside the
  mvneta_poll because specializing this function would have means
  duplicating 95% of the code.

- Put back the register_netdev() call at the end of the mvneta_probe()
  function. In order to have a unique ID for each port, just used a
  global variable in the driver.

- Added a fix from Marcin in the "net: mvneta: bm: add support for
  hardware buffer management" patch: "when dropping packets, only
  buffer pointers passed from BM to descriptors have to be returned to
  the pool. In submitted version after closing the port and
  mvneta_rxq_deinit(), it was very likely that a lot of fake buffers
  are added to the pool, because all descriptors took part in
  iteration."

- Removed the select MVNETA_BM from the Kconfig, it will let the user
  the choice to use not use it if they want.

v1 -> v2
- The hardware buffer management helpers are no more built by default
  and now depend on a hidden config symbol which has to be selected
  by the driver if needed
- The hwbm_pool_refill() and hwbm_pool_add() now receive a gfp_t as
  argument allowing the caller to specify the flag it needs.
- buf_num is now tested to ensure there is no wrapping
- A spinlock has been added to protect the hwbm_pool_add() function in
  SMP or irq context.
- used pr_warn instead of pr_debug in case of errors.
- fixed the mvneta implementation by returning the buffer to the pool
  at various place instead of ignoring it.
- Squashed "bus: mvenus-mbus: Fix size test for
   mvebu_mbus_get_dram_win_info" into bus: mvebu-mbus: provide api for
   obtaining IO and DRAM window information.
- Added my signed-otf-by on all the patches as submitter of the series.
- Renamed the dts patches with the pattern "ARM: dts: platform:"
- Removed the patch "ARM: mvebu: enable SRAM support in
  mvebu_v7_defconfig" of this series and already applied it
- Modified the order of the patches.

In order to ease the test the branch mvneta-BM-framework-v6 is
available at git@github.com:MISL-EBU-System-SW/mainline-public.git.

Buffer manager (BM) is a dedicated hardware unit that can be used by all
ethernet ports of Armada XP and 38x SoC's. It allows to offload CPU on RX
path by sparing DRAM access on refilling buffer pool, hardware-based
filling of descriptor ring data and better memory utilization due to HW
arbitration for using 'short' pools for small packets.

Tests performed with A388 SoC working as a network bridge between two
packet generators showed increase of maximum processed 64B packets by
~20k (~555k packets with BM enabled vs ~535 packets without BM). Also
when pushing 1500B-packets with a line rate achieved, CPU load decreased
from around 25% without BM to 20% with BM.

BM comprise up to 4 buffer pointers' (BP) rings kept in DRAM, which
are called external BP pools - BPPE. Allocating and releasing buffer
pointers (BP) to/from BPPE is performed indirectly by write/read access
to a dedicated internal SRAM, where internal BP pools (BPPI) are placed.
BM hardware controls status of BPPE automatically, as well as assigning
proper buffers to RX descriptors. For more details please refer to
Functional Specification of Armada XP or 38x SoC.

In order to enable support for a separate hardware block, common for all
ports, a new driver has to be implemented ('mvneta_bm'). It provides
initialization sequence of address space, clocks, registers, SRAM,
empty pools' structures and also obtaining optional configuration
from DT (please refer to device tree binding documentation). mvneta_bm
exposes also a necessary API to mvneta driver, as well as a dedicated
structure with BM information (bm_priv), whose presence is used as a
flag notifying of BM usage by port. It has to be ensured that mvneta_bm
probe is executed prior to the ones in ports' driver. In case BM is not
used or its probe fails, mvneta falls back to use software buffer
management.

A sequence executed in mvneta_probe function is modified in order to have
an access to needed resources before possible port's BM initialization is
done. According to port-pools mapping provided by DT appropriate registers
are configured and the buffer pools are filled. RX path is modified
accordingly. Becaues the hardware allows a wide variety of configuration
options, following assumptions are made:
* using BM mechanisms can be selectively disabled/enabled basing
  on DT configuration among the ports
* 'long' pool's single buffer size is tied to port's MTU
* using 'long' pool by port is obligatory and it cannot be shared
* using 'short' pool for smaller packets is optional
* one 'short' pool can be shared among all ports

This commit enables hardware buffer management operation cooperating with
existing mvneta driver. New device tree binding documentation is added and
the one of mvneta is updated accordingly.

Fix differences between IPv4 and IPv6 TCP/UDP checksum calculation

This patch series is meant to address the differences that exist between
IPv4 and IPv6 in terms of checksum calculation.  Specifically the IPv6
function csum_ipv6_magic treated length as a value that could be greater
than 64K, while csum_tcpudp_magic was truncating the length at 16 bits.
After looking over the code and giving it some thought I decided it would
be best to update the IPv4 function so that it worked the same way the IPv6
one did.  This allows us to get the same results given the same inputs for
both functions.  As a result we can use the same processes to reverse the
calculation in the event we need to do something like remove the length of
the pseudo-header checksum.

I also took the opportunity to standardize things so that the parameters
for these functions all use the correct types.  IPv4 addresses are __be32,
length should always be __u32, and protocol is a __u8.

With this change in place it corrects an issue with UDP tunnels in which we
were getting a checksum that was off by 1 when performing fragmentation on
inner UDP packets.
====================
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

It is possible for tunnels to end up generating IP or IPv6 datagrams that
are larger than 64K and expecting to be segmented.  As such we need to deal
with length values greater than 64K.  In order to accommodate this we need
to update the code to work with a 32b length value instead of a 16b one.

This patch updates csum_ipv6_magic so that it correctly recognizes that
protocol is a unsigned 8 bit value.

This will allow us to better understand what limitations may or may not be
present in how we handle the data.  For example there are a number of
places that call htonl on the protocol value.  This is likely not necessary
and can be replaced with a multiplication by ntohl(1) which will be
converted to a shift by the compiler.

This patch updates all instances of csum_tcpudp_magic and
csum_tcpudp_nofold to reflect the types that are usually used as the source
inputs.  For example the protocol field is populated based on nexthdr which
is actually an unsigned 8 bit value.  The length is usually populated based
on skb->len which is an unsigned integer.

This addresses an issue in which the IPv6 function csum_ipv6_magic was
generating a checksum using the full 32b of skb->len while
csum_tcpudp_magic was only using the lower 16 bits.  As a result we could
run into issues when attempting to adjust the checksum as there was no
protocol agnostic way to update it.

With this change the value is still truncated as many architectures use
"(len + proto) << 8", however this truncation only occurs for values
greater than 16776960 in length and as such is unlikely to occur as we stop
the inner headers at ~64K in size.

I did have to make a few minor changes in the arm, mn10300, nios2, and
score versions of the function in order to support these changes as they
were either using things such as an OR to combine the protocol and length,
or were using ntohs to convert the length which would have truncated the
value.

I also updated a few spots in terms of whitespace and type differences for
the addresses.  Most of this was just to make sure all of the definitions
were in sync going forward.

When an inetdev is destroyed, every address assigned to the interface
is removed.  And in this scenerio we do two pointless things which can
be very expensive if the number of assigned interfaces is large:

1) Address promotion.  We are deleting all addresses, so there is no
   point in doing this.

2) A full nf conntrack table purge for every address.  We only need to
   do this once, as is already caught by the existing

====================
MACsec IEEE 802.1AE implementation

MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE [0]) is a protocol that provides security for
wired ethernet LANs.  MACsec offers two protection modes:
authentication only, or authenticated encryption.

MACsec defines "secure channels" that allow transmission from one node
to one or more others.  Communication on a channel is done over a
succession of "secure associations", that each use a specific key.
Secure associations are identified by their "association number" in
the range 0..3.  A secure association is retired when its 32-bit
packet number would wrap, and the same association number can later be
reused with a new key and packet number.

The standard mode of encryption is GCM AES with 128 bits keys,
although an extension allows 256 bits keys [1] (not implemented in
this submission).

When using MACsec, an extra header, called "SecTAG", is added between
the ethernet header and the original payload:

 +---------------------------------+----------------+----------------+
 |        (MACsec ethertype)       |     TCI_AN     |       SL       |
 +---------------------------------+----------------+----------------+
 |                           Packet Number                           |
 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
 |                     Secure Channel Identifier                     |
 |                            (optional)                             |
 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

TCI_AN:
 version
 end_station
 sci_present
 scb
 encrypted
 changed_text
 association_number (2 bits)
SL:
 short_length (6 bits)
 unused (2 bits)

The ethertype for the packet is set to 0x88E5, and the original
ethertype becomes part of the secure payload, which may be encrypted.
The ethernet header and the SecTAG are always transmitted in the
clear, but are integrity-protected.

MACsec supports optional replay protection with a configurable replay
window.

MACsec is designed to be used with the MKA extension to 802.1X (MACsec
Key Agreement protocol) [2], which provides channel attribution and
key distribution to the nodes, but can also be used with static keys
getting fed manually by an administrator.

Optional (not supported yet) features:
 - confidentiality offset: in encryption mode, part of the payload may
   be left unencrypted.
 - choice of cipher suite: GCM AES with 256 bits has been standardised
   [1].

Implementation

A netdevice is created on top of a real device for each TX secure
channel, like we do for VLANs.  Multiple TX channels can be created on
top of the same underlying device.

Several other approaches were considered for the RX path:

 - dev_add_pack: doesn't work, because we want to filter out
   unprotected packets
 - transparent mode: MACsec would be enabled directly on the real
   netdevice.  For this, we cannot use a rx_handler directly because
   MACsec must be available for underlying devices enslaved in a
   bridge or in a bond, so we need a hook directly in
   __netif_receive_skb_core.  This approach makes it harder to filter
   non-encrypted packets on RX without forcing the user to setup some
   rules, so the "transparent" mode is not so transparent after all.
   It also makes TX more complex than with a dedicated netdevice.

One issue with the proposed implementation is that the qdisc layer for
the real device operates on already encrypted packets.

Netlink API

This is currently a mix of rtnetlink (to create the device and set up
the TX channel) and genl (for RX channels, secure associations and
their keys).  genl provides clean demultiplexing of the {TX,RX}{SC,SA}
commands.

Use cases

The normal use case is wired LANs, including veth and slave devices
for bonding/teaming or bridges.

MACsec can also be used on any device that makes a full ethernet
header visible, for example VXLAN.
The VXLAN+MACsec setup would be:

         hypervisor        |     virtual machine
    <real_dev>---<VXLAN>---|---<dev>---<macsec_dev>

And the packets would look like this:

| eth | IP | UDP | VXLAN | eth | MACsec | IP | ... | MACsec ICV |

One benefit on this approach to encryption in the cloud is that the
payload is encrypted by the tenant, not by the tunnel provider, thus
the tenant has full control over the keys.

Changes from v1:
 - rework netlink API after discussion with Johannes Berg
   - nest attributes, rename
   - export stats as separate attributes
   - add some comments

 - fix ENCODING_SA param validation
 - add parent link to netlink ifdumps

Changes from RFCv1:
 - addressed comments from Florian and Paolo + kbuild robot
 - also perform post-decrypt handling after crypto callback
 - fixed ->dellink behavior

For mlx4 driver, the mlx4_en_stop_port() call is done outside
NAPI/softirq context, and cleanup the entire TX ring via
mlx4_en_free_tx_buf().  The code mlx4_en_free_tx_desc() for
freeing SKBs are shared with NAPI calls.

To handle this shared use the zero budget indication is reused,

Before, calls from netpoll (w/ IRQs disabled) was handled and
indicated with a budget zero indication.  Use the same zero
indication to handle calls not originating from NAPI/softirq.
Simply handled by using dev_consume_skb_any().

This adds an extra branch+call for the netpoll case (checking
in_irq() + irqs_disabled()), but that is okay as this is a slowpath.

Currently sctp_sendmsg() triggers some calls that will allocate memory
with GFP_ATOMIC even when not necessary. In the case of
sctp_packet_transmit it will allocate a linear skb that will be used to
construct the packet and this may cause sends to fail due to ENOMEM more
often than anticipated specially with big MTUs.

This patch thus allows it to inherit gfp flags from upper calls so that
it can use GFP_KERNEL if it was triggered by a sctp_sendmsg call or
similar. All others, like retransmits or flushes started from BH, are
still allocated using GFP_ATOMIC.

In netperf tests this didn't result in any performance drawbacks when
memory is not too fragmented and made it trigger ENOMEM way less often.

When we want to change a flow using netlink, we have to identify it to
be able to perform a lookup. Both the flow key and unique flow ID
(ufid) are valid identifiers, but we always have to specify the flow
key in the netlink message. When both attributes are there, the ufid
is used. The flow key is used to validate the actions provided by
the userland.

This commit allows to use the ufid without having to provide the flow
key, as it is already done in the netlink 'flow get' and 'flow del'
path. The flow key remains mandatory when an action is provided.

On AT91 SoCs, the User Register (USRIO) exposes a switch to configure the
"Reduced" or "Traditional" version of the Media Independent Interface
(RMII vs. MII or RGMII vs. GMII).
As on the older EMAC version, on GMAC, this switch is set by default to the
non-reduced type of interface, so use the existing capability and extend it to
GMII as well. We then keep the current logic in the macb_init() function.

The capabilities of sama5d2, sama5d4 and sama5d3 GEM interface are updated in
the macb_config structure to be able to properly enable them with a traditional
interface (GMII or MII).

xen-netback: fix multiple extra info handling

If a frontend passes multiple extra info fragments to netback on the guest
transmit side, because xen-netback does not account for this properly, only
a single ack response will be sent. This will eventually cause processing
of the shared ring to wedge.

This series re-imports the canonical netif.h from Xen, where the ring
protocol documentation has been updated, fixes this issue in xen-netback
and also adds a patch to reduce log spam.

Remove the "prepare for reconnect" pr_info in xenbus.c. It's largely
uninteresting and the states of the frontend and backend can easily be
observed by watching the (o)xenstored log.
