The r8169 driver collects statistical information returned by
@get_stats64 by counting them in the driver itself, even though many
(but not all) of the values are already collected by tally counters
(TCs) in the NIC.  Some of these TC values are not returned by
@get_stats64.  Especially the received multicast packages are missing
from /proc/net/dev.

Rectify this by fetching the TCs and returning them from
rtl8169_get_stats64.

The counters collected in the driver obviously disappear as soon as the
driver is unloaded so after a driver is loaded the counters always start
at 0. The TCs on the other hand are only reset by a power cycle.  Without
further considerations the values collected by the driver would not match
up against the TC values.

This patch introduces a new function rtl8169_reset_counters which
resets the TCs.  Also, since rtl8169_reset_counters shares most of
its code with rtl8169_update_counters, refactor the shared code into
two new functions  rtl8169_map_counters and rtl8169_unmap_counters.

Unfortunately chip versions prior to RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_19 don't allow
to reset the TCs programatically.  Therefore introduce an addition to
the rtl8169_private struct and a function rtl8169_init_counter_offsets
to store the TCs at first rtl_open.  Use these values as offsets in
rtl8169_get_stats64.  Propagate a failure to reset *and* update the
counters up to rtl_open and emit a warning message, if so.

Let packets move from one netns to the other at PPP encapsulation and
decapsulation time.

PPP units and channels remain in the netns in which they were
originally created. Only the net_device may move to a different
namespace. Cross netns handling is thus transparent to lower PPP
layers (PPPoE, L2TP, etc.).

PPP devices are automatically unregistered when their netns gets
removed. So read() and poll() on the unit file descriptor will
respectively receive EOF and POLLHUP. Channels aren't affected.

We held this mapping table inside the channel object that is

So in case ndo_select_queue occurs during such a configuration operation,
it may access a NULL channel pointer, resulting in kernel panic.
To fix this issue we moved the {channel, tc}==>txq mapping table
outside the channel object so that it will be available also
during such configuration operations.

RDS: Assorted bug fixes

We would like to improve RDS upstream support and in that context, I
started playing with it.  But run into number of issues including as
basic is RDS IB RDMA doesn't work. As part of the debug, I ended up
creating the $subject series which has bunch of assorted fixes. At
least with this series I can run RDS IB RDMA and other tests
successfully.

Some of these fixes have been done by Chris Meson, Andy Grover and
Zach Brown while at Oracle. There are still more kinks with FMR and
error handling and I plan to address them in a follow up series.

Series generated against Linus's master(v4.2-rc-7) but also applies
against next-next cleanly. Its tested on Oracle hardware with IB
fabric for both bcopy as well as RDMA mode. I don't have access
to iWARP hardware so any testing help on iWARP hardware appreciated.

rds_send_queue_rm() allows for the "current datagram" being queued
to exceed SO_SNDBUF thresholds by checking bytes queued without
counting in length of current datagram. (Since sk_sndbuf is set
to twice requested SO_SNDBUF value as a kernel heuristic this
is usually fine!)

If this "current datagram" squeezing past the threshold is itself
many times the size of the sk_sndbuf threshold itself then even
twice the SO_SNDBUF does not save us and it gets queued but
cannot be transmitted. Threads block and deadlock and device
becomes unusable. The check for this datagram not exceeding
SNDBUF thresholds (EMSGSIZE) is not done on this datagram as
that check is only done if queueing attempt fails.
(Datagrams that follow this datagram fail queueing attempts, go
through the check and eventually trip EMSGSIZE error but zero
length datagrams silently fail!)

This fix moves the check for datagrams exceeding SNDBUF limits
before any processing or queueing is attempted and returns EMSGSIZE
early in the rds_sndmsg() code. This change also ensures that all
datagrams get checked for exceeding SNDBUF/sk_sndbuf size limits
and the large datagrams that exceed those limits do not get to
rds_send_queue_rm() code for processing.

rds_send_drop_to() is used during socket tear down to find all the
messages on the socket and flush them .  It can race with the
acking code unless it takes the m_rs_lock on each and every message.

This plugs a hole where we didn't take m_rs_lock on any message that
didn't have the RDS_MSG_ON_CONN set.  Taking m_rs_lock avoids
double frees and other memory corruptions as the ack code trusts
the message m_rs pointer on a socket that had actually been freed.

We must take m_rs_lock to access m_rs.  Because of lock nesting and
rs access, we also need to acquire rs_lock.

WR(Work Requests )always generate a WC(Work Completion) with
signaled send. Default RDS ib code is setup for un-signaled
completion. Since RDS connction is persistent, we can end up
sending the data even after large-send when the remote end is
not active(for any reason).

By doing  a signaled send at least once per large-send,
we can at least detect the problem in work completion
handler there by avoiding sending more data to

When TCP pacing was added back in linux-3.12, we chose
to apply a fixed ratio of 200 % against current rate,
to allow probing for optimal throughput even during
slow start phase, where cwnd can be doubled every other gRTT.

At Google, we found it was better applying a different ratio
while in Congestion Avoidance phase.
This ratio was set to 120 %.

We've used the normal tcp_in_slow_start() helper for a while,
then tuned the condition to select the conservative ratio
as soon as cwnd >= ssthresh/2 :

- After cwnd reduction, it is safer to ramp up more slowly,
  as we approach optimal cwnd.
- Initial ramp up (ssthresh == INFINITY) still allows doubling
  cwnd every other RTT.

slow start after idle might reduce cwnd, but we perform this
after first packet was cooked and sent.

With TSO/GSO, it means that we might send a full TSO packet
even if cwnd should have been reduced to IW10.

Moving the SSAI check in skb_entail() makes sense, because
we slightly reduce number of times this check is done,
especially for large send() and TCP Small queue callbacks from
softirq context.

As Neal pointed out, we also need to perform the check
if/when receive window opens.

Some functions already have documentation about locks they require inside
their kerneldoc header. These can be directly tested during runtime using
the lockdep asserts.

Functions which use (h)list_del* are requiring correct locking when they
operate on global lists. Most of the time the search in the list and the
delete are done in the same function. All other cases should have it
visible that they require a special lock to avoid race conditions.

Lockdep asserts can be used to check these problem during runtime when the
lockdep functionality is enabled.

Since the list's tail is never accessed using a double linked list head
wastes memory.
