====================
Namespaceify more of the tcp sysctl knobs

This patch series continues making more of the tcp-related
sysctl knobs be per net-namespace. Most of these apply per
socket and have global defaults so should be safe and I
don't expect any breakages.

Having those per net-namespace is useful when multiple
containers are hosted and it is required to tune the
tcp settings for each independently of the host node.

I've split the patches to be per-sysctl but after
the review if the outcome is positive I'm happy
to either send it in one big blob or just.

virtio_net: add ethtool get/set settings support

Patch 1 adds ethtool speed/duplex validation functions which check if the
value is defined. Patch 2 adds support for ethtool (get|set)_settings and
uses the validation functions to check the user-supplied values.

v2: split in 2 patches to allow everyone to make use of the validation
functions and allow virtio_net devices to be half duplex
v3: added a check to return error if the user tries to change anything else
besides duplex/speed as per Michael's comment
v4: Set port type to PORT_OTHER
v5: clear diff1.port (ignore port) when checking for changes since we set
it now and ethtool uses it in the set request

Sorry about the pointless iterations, should've all covered now.

This patch allows the user to set and retrieve speed and duplex of the
virtio_net device via ethtool. Having this functionality is very helpful
for simulating different environments and also enables the virtio_net
device to participate in operations where proper speed and duplex are
required (e.g. currently bonding lacp mode requires full duplex). Custom
speed and duplex are not allowed, the user-supplied settings are validated
before applying.

Example:
$ ethtool eth1
Settings for eth1:
...
	Speed: Unknown!
	Duplex: Unknown! (255)
$ ethtool -s eth1 speed 1000 duplex full
$ ethtool eth1
Settings for eth1:
...
	Speed: 1000Mb/s
	Duplex: Full

tcp: congestion control refactoring

This patch set refactors the sequence of congestion control,
loss recovery, and transmission logic in TCP ack processing.

The design goal is to decouple and sequence them in the following order:

  0. ACK accounting: free or tag sent packets [unchanged]

  1. loss recovery: identify lost/ecn packets and update congestion state

  2. congestion control: up/down cwnd and pacing rate based on (1)

  3. transmission: send new or retransmit old based on (1) and (2)

This refactoring makes the cwnd changes more clear because it's done
in one place. The packet accounting is also more robust especially
for connections that do not support SACK. Patch 1-4 and 6 are
refactoring and patch 5 improves TCP performance under reordering.

This change enables congestion control to update cwnd based on
not only packet cumulatively acked but also packets delivered
out-of-order. This makes congestion control robust against packet
reordering because it may raise cwnd as long as packets are being
delivered once reordering has been detected (i.e., it only cares
the amount of packets delivered, not the ordering among them).

This patch changes the accounting of how many packets are
newly acked or sacked when the sender receives an ACK.

The current approach basically computes

   newly_acked_sacked = (prior_packets - prior_sacked) -
                        (tp->packets_out - tp->sacked_out)

   where prior_packets and prior_sacked out are snapshot
   at the beginning of the ACK processing.

The new approach tracks the delivery information via a new
TCP state variable "delivered" which monotically increases
as new packets are delivered in order or out-of-order.

The reason for this change is that the current approach is
brittle that produces negative or inaccurate estimate.

   1) For non-SACK connections, an ACK that advances the SND.UNA
   could reset the DUPACK counters (tp->sacked_out) in
   tcp_process_loss() or tcp_fastretrans_alert(). This inflates
   the inflight suddenly and causes under-estimate or even
   negative estimate. Here is a real example:

                   before   after (processing ACK)
   packets_out     75       73
   sacked_out      23        0
   ca state        Loss     Open

   The old approach computes (75-23) - (73 - 0) = -21 delivered
   while the new approach computes 1 delivered since it
   considers the 2nd-24th packets are delivered OOO.

   2) MSS change would re-count packets_out and sacked_out so
   the estimate is in-accurate and can even become negative.
   E.g., the inflight is doubled when MSS is halved.

   3) Spurious retransmission signaled by DSACK is not accounted

The new approach is simpler and more robust. For SACK connections,
tp->delivered increments as packets are being acked or sacked in
SACK and ACK processing.

For non-sack connections, it's done in tcp_remove_reno_sacks() and
tcp_add_reno_sack(). When an ACK advances the SND.UNA, tp->delivered
is incremented by the number of packets ACKed (less the current
number of DUPACKs received plus one packet hole).  Upon receiving
a DUPACK, tp->delivered is incremented assuming one out-of-order
packet is delivered.

Upon receiving a DSACK, tp->delivered is incremtened assuming one
retransmission is delivered in tcp_sacktag_write_queue().

Currently the cwnd is reduced and increased in various different
places. The reduction happens in various places in the recovery
state processing (tcp_fastretrans_alert) while the increase
happens afterward.

A better sequence is to identify lost packets and update
the congestion control state (icsk_ca_state) first. Then base
on the new state, up/down the cwnd in one central place. It's
more clear to reason cwnd changes.

The retransmission and F-RTO transmission currently happen inside
recovery state processing (tcp_fastretrans_alert) but before
congestion control.  This refactoring moves the logic after both
s.t. we can determine how much to send (cwnd) before deciding what to
send.

My recent patch to the Xen Project documents a protocol for 'dynamic

protocol to not require a shared ring reconnection to turn the feature off.
Instead the backend watches the "request-multicast-control" key in xenstore
and turns the feature off if the key value is written to zero.

This patch adds support for dynamic multicast control in xen-netback.

The SRIOV resource distribution logic for RX/TX queue counts is not optimal
when a small number of VFs are enabled. It does not take into account the
VF's EQ count while computing the queue counts. Because of this, the VF
gets a large number of queues, though it doesn't have sufficient EQs,
resulting in wasted queue resources. And the PF gets a smaller share of
queues though it has more EQs. Fix this by capping the VF queue count at
its EQ count.

vxlan: cleanup headers and tx path

This is first part of vxlan cleanup. It makes vxlan.h better organized and
removes code duplication in the tx path. There's no change in functionality.

This is in preparation for VXLAN-GPE support. Other sets will follow with
cleanup of rx path, modifications of vxlan interface setup and
cleanup/modification of fdb handling. The goal of these patchsets is to
consolidate VXLAN extension handling (right now it's scattered all around
the code) and allow vxlan to operate in L3 mode (i.e. without inner Ethernet
headers).
