This change pulls the core functionality out of __netdev_alloc_skb and
places them in a new function named __alloc_rx_skb.  The reason for doing
this is to make these bits accessible to a new function __napi_alloc_skb.
In addition __alloc_rx_skb now has a new flags value that is used to
determine which page frag pool to allocate from.  If the SKB_ALLOC_NAPI
flag is set then the NAPI pool is used.  The advantage of this is that we
do not have to use local_irq_save/restore when accessing the NAPI pool from
NAPI context.

In my test setup I saw at least 11ns of savings using the napi_alloc_skb
function versus the netdev_alloc_skb function, most of this being due to
the fact that we didn't have to call local_irq_save/restore.

The main use case for napi_alloc_skb would be for things such as copybreak
or page fragment based receive paths where an skb is allocated after the
data has been received instead of before.

This patch splits the netdev_alloc_frag function up so that it can be used
on one of two page frag pools instead of being fixed on the
netdev_alloc_cache.  By doing this we can add a NAPI specific function
__napi_alloc_frag that accesses a pool that is only used from softirq
context.  The advantage to this is that we do not need to call
local_irq_save/restore which can be a significant savings.

I also took the opportunity to refactor the core bits that were placed in
__alloc_page_frag.  First I updated the allocation to do either a 32K
allocation or an order 0 page.  This is based on the changes in commmit
d9b2938a where it was found that latencies could be reduced in case of
failures.  Then I also rewrote the logic to work from the end of the page to
the start.  By doing this the size value doesn't have to be used unless we
have run out of space for page fragments.  Finally I cleaned up the atomic
bits so that we just do an atomic_sub_and_test and if that returns true then
we set the page->_count via an atomic_set.  This way we can remove the extra
conditional for the atomic_read since it would have led to an atomic_inc in
the case of success anyway.

... making both non-draining.  That means that tcp_recvmsg() becomes
non-draining.  And _that_ would break iscsit_do_rx_data() unless we
	a) make sure tcp_recvmsg() is uniformly non-draining (it is)
	b) make sure it copes with arbitrary (including shifted)
iov_iter (it does, all it uses is iov_iter primitives)
	c) make iscsit_do_rx_data() initialize ->msg_iter only once.

Fortunately, (c) is doable with minimal work and we are rid of one
the two places where kernel send/recvmsg users would be unhappy with
non-draining behaviour.

Actually, that makes all but one of ->recvmsg() instances iov_iter-clean.
The exception is skcipher_recvmsg() and it also isn't hard to convert
to primitives (iov_iter_get_pages() is needed there).  That'll wait

Commit ce1a4ea3 ("net: avoid one atomic operation in skb_clone()")
took the wrong way to save one atomic operation.

It is actually possible to avoid two atomic operations, if we
do not change skb->fclone values, and only rely on clone_ref
content to signal if the clone is available or not.

skb_clone() can simply use the fast clone if clone_ref is 1.

kfree_skbmem() can avoid the atomic_dec_and_test() if clone_ref is 1.

Note that because we usually free the clone before the original skb,
this particular attempt is only done for the original skb to have better
branch prediction.

SKB_FCLONE_FREE is removed.

The commit 56bfa7ee ("unregister_netdevice : move RTM_DELLINK to
until after ndo_uninit") tried to do this ealier but while doing so
it created a problem. Unfortunately the delayed rtmsg_ifinfo() also
delayed call to fill_info(). So this translated into asking driver
to remove private state and then query it's private state. This
could have catastropic consequences.

This change breaks the rtmsg_ifinfo() into two parts - one takes the
precise snapshot of the device by called fill_info() before calling
the ndo_uninit() and the second part sends the notification using
collected snapshot.

It was brought to notice when last link is deleted from an ipvlan device
when it has free-ed the port and the subsequent .fill_info() call is
trying to get the info from the port.

This patch extends the set/get_rxfh ethtool-options for getting or
setting the RSS hash function.

It modifies drivers implementation of set/get_rxfh accordingly.

This change also delegates the responsibility of checking whether a
modification to a certain RX flow hash parameter is supported to the
driver implementation of set_rxfh.

User-kernel API is done through the new hfunc bitmask field in the
ethtool_rxfh struct. A bit set in the hfunc field is corresponding to an
index in the new string-set ETH_SS_RSS_HASH_FUNCS.

Got approval from most of the relevant driver maintainers that their
driver is using Toeplitz, and for the few that didn't answered, also
assumed it is Toeplitz.

RSS (Receive Side Scaling) typically uses Toeplitz hash and a 40 or 52 bytes
RSS key.

Some drivers use a constant (and well known key), some drivers use a random
key per port, making bonding setups hard to tune. Well known keys increase
attack surface, considering that number of queues is usually a power of two.

This patch provides infrastructure to help drivers doing the right thing.

netdev_rss_key_fill() should be used by drivers to initialize their RSS key,
even if they provide ethtool -X support to let user redefine the key later.

A new /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key file can be used to get the host
RSS key even for drivers not providing ethtool -x support, in case some
applications want to precisely setup flows to match some RX queues.

Tested:

Large receive offloading is known to cause problems if received packets
are passed to other host. Therefore the kernel disables it by calling
dev_disable_lro() whenever a network device is enslaved in a bridge or
forwarding is enabled for it (or globally). For virtual devices we need
to disable LRO on the underlying physical device (which is actually
receiving the packets).

Current dev_disable_lro() code handles this  propagation for a vlan
(including 802.1ad nested vlan), macvlan or a vlan on top of a macvlan.
It doesn't handle other stacked devices and their combinations, in
particular propagation from a bond to its slaves which often causes
problems in virtualization setups.

As we now have generic data structures describing the upper-lower device
relationship, dev_disable_lro() can be generalized to disable LRO also
for all lower devices (if any) once it is disabled for the device
itself.

For bonding and teaming devices, it is necessary to disable LRO not only
on current slaves at the moment when dev_disable_lro() is called but
also on any slave (port) added later.

Use the more common dynamic_debug capable net_dbg_ratelimited

All messages are still ratelimited.

Some KERN_<LEVEL> uses are changed to KERN_DEBUG.

This may have some negative impact on messages that were
emitted at KERN_INFO that are not not enabled at all unless
DEBUG is defined or dynamic_debug is enabled.  Even so,
these messages are now _not_ emitted by default.

This also eliminates the use of the net_msg_warn sysctl
"/proc/sys/net/core/warnings".  For backward compatibility,
the sysctl is not removed, but it has no function.  The extern
declaration of net_msg_warn is removed from sock.h and made

Ideally, we want one thread per RX/TX queue/cpu, but we have no way to
know after accept() or connect() on which queue/cpu a socket is managed.

We normally use one cpu per RX queue (IRQ smp_affinity being properly
set), so remembering on socket structure which cpu delivered last packet
is enough to solve the problem.

After accept(), connect(), or even file descriptor passing around
processes, applications can use :

 int cpu;
 socklen_t len = sizeof(cpu);

 getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_INCOMING_CPU, &cpu, &len);

And use this information to put the socket into the right silo
for optimal performance, as all networking stack should run
on the appropriate cpu, without need to send IPI (RPS/RFS).

Tuning coalescing parameters on NIC can be really hard.

Servers can handle both bulk and RPC like traffic, with conflicting
goals : bulk flows want as big GRO packets as possible, RPC want minimal
latencies.

To reach big GRO packets on 10Gbe NIC, one can use :

ethtool -C eth0 rx-usecs 4 rx-frames 44

But this penalizes rpc sessions, with an increase of latencies, up to
50% in some cases, as NICs generally do not force an interrupt when
a packet with TCP Push flag is received.

Some NICs do not have an absolute timer, only a timer rearmed for every
incoming packet.

This patch uses a different strategy : Let GRO stack decides what do do,
based on traffic pattern.

Packets with Push flag wont be delayed.
Packets without Push flag might be held in GRO engine, if we keep
receiving data.

This new mechanism is off by default, and shall be enabled by setting
/sys/class/net/ethX/gro_flush_timeout to a value in nanosecond.

To fully enable this mechanism, drivers should use napi_complete_done()
instead of napi_complete().

Tested:
 Ran 200 netperf TCP_STREAM from A to B (10Gbe mlx4 link, 8 RX queues)

Without this feature, we send back about 305,000 ACK per second.

GRO aggregation ratio is low (811/305 = 2.65 segments per GRO packet)

Setting a timer of 2000 nsec is enough to increase GRO packet sizes
and reduce number of ACK packets. (811/19.2 = 42)

Receiver performs less calls to upper stacks, less wakes up.
This also reduces cpu usage on the sender, as it receives less ACK
packets.

Note that reducing number of wakes up increases cpu efficiency, but can
decrease QPS, as applications wont have the chance to warmup cpu caches
doing a partial read of RPC requests/answers if they fit in one skb.

Now that both macvtap and tun are using skb_copy_datagram_iter, we
can kill the abomination that is skb_copy_datagram_const_iovec.

This patch adds skb_copy_datagram_iter, which is identical to
skb_copy_datagram_iovec except that it operates on iov_iter
instead of iovec.

Eventually all users of skb_copy_datagram_iovec should switch
over to iov_iter and then we can remove skb_copy_datagram_iovec.
