In preparation for hardware offloading of ipmr/ip6mr we need an
interface that allows to check (and later update) the age of entries.
Relying on stats alone can show activity but not actual age of the entry,
furthermore when there're tens of thousands of entries a lot of the
hardware implementations only support "hit" bits which are cleared on
read to denote that the entry was active and shouldn't be aged out,
these can then be naturally translated into age timestamp and will be
compatible with the software forwarding age. Using a lastuse entry doesn't
affect performance because the members in that cache line are written to
along with the age.
Since all new users are encouraged to use ipmr via netlink, this is
exported via the RTA_EXPIRES attribute.
Also do a minor local variable declaration style adjustment - arrange them
longest to shortest.

Some devices of the same type all export the same, random MAC address. This
behavior has been seen on the ZTE MF910, MF823 and MF831, and there are
probably more devices out there. Fix this by generating a valid random MAC
address if we read a random MAC from device.
Also, changed the memcpy() to ether_addr_copy(), as pointed out by

net: bridge: simplify receive path and consolidate forwarding paths
This set tries to simplify the receive and forwarding paths. Patch 01 is
a trivial style adjustment, patch 02 removes one conditional from the
unicast fast path, patch 03 removes another conditional and more imporantly
removes the skb0/skb2 ambiguity about locally receiving the skb and
switches to a boolean called "local_rcv".
Patch 04 is the most important change which consolidates the forwarding
paths for locally originated and forwarded packets into __br_forward. This
allows us to remove the function pointers giving a minor performance boost,
more importantly it makes it much easier to reason about the forwarding
path and reduces the code duplication that was needed when making changes.
Also it allows the receive path to fully setup the environment prior to
calling any forwarding functions (i.e. to properly set unicast, local_rcv
and search for unicast/mcast dst).
Functionally everything should stay the same after this set.
I've done basic tests with unicast/multicast/broadcast Tx/Rx. Please
review carefully.

Before this patch we had two flavors of most forwarding functions -
_forward and _deliver, the difference being that the latter are used
when the packets are locally originated. Instead of all this function
pointer passing and code duplication, we can just pass a boolean noting
that the packet was locally originated and use that to perform the
necessary checks in __br_forward. This gives a minor performance
improvement but more importantly consolidates the forwarding paths.
Also add a kernel doc comment to explain the exported br_forward()'s
arguments.

Currently if the packet is going to be received locally we set skb0 or
sometimes called skb2 variables to the original skb. This can get
confusing and also we can avoid one conditional on the fast path by
simply using a boolean and passing it around. Thanks to Roopa for the
name suggestion.

This work addresses a couple of issues bpf_skb_event_output()
helper currently has: i) We need two copies instead of just a
single one for the skb data when it should be part of a sample.
The data can be non-linear and thus needs to be extracted via
bpf_skb_load_bytes() helper first, and then copied once again
into the ring buffer slot. ii) Since bpf_skb_load_bytes()
currently needs to be used first, the helper needs to see a
constant size on the passed stack buffer to make sure BPF
verifier can do sanity checks on it during verification time.
Thus, just passing skb->len (or any other non-constant value)
wouldn't work, but changing bpf_skb_load_bytes() is also not
the proper solution, since the two copies are generally still
needed. iii) bpf_skb_load_bytes() is just for rather small
buffers like headers, since they need to sit on the limited
BPF stack anyway. Instead of working around in bpf_skb_load_bytes(),
this work improves the bpf_skb_event_output() helper to address
all 3 at once.
We can make use of the passed in skb context that we have in
the helper anyway, and use some of the reserved flag bits as
a length argument. The helper will use the new __output_custom()
facility from perf side with bpf_skb_copy() as callback helper
to walk and extract the data. It will pass the data for setup
to bpf_event_output(), which generates and pushes the raw record
with an additional frag part. The linear data used in the first
frag of the record serves as programmatically defined meta data
passed along with the appended sample.

Split the bpf_perf_event_output() helper as a preparation into
two parts. The new bpf_perf_event_output() will prepare the raw
record itself and test for unknown flags from BPF trace context,

latter will be reused later on from bpf_event_output() directly.

This patch adds support for non-linear data on raw records. It
extends raw records to have one or multiple fragments that will
be written linearly into the ring slot, where each fragment can
optionally have a custom callback handler to walk and extract
complex, possibly non-linear data.
If a callback handler is provided for a fragment, then the new
__output_custom() will be used instead of __output_copy() for
the perf_output_sample() part. perf_prepare_sample() does all
the size calculation only once, so perf_output_sample() doesn't
need to redo the same work anymore, meaning real_size and padding
will be cached in the raw record. The raw record becomes 32 bytes
in size without holes; to not increase it further and to avoid
doing unnecessary recalculations in fast-path, we can reuse
next pointer of the last fragment, idea here is borrowed from
ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(), which should keep the perf_output_sample()
path for PERF_SAMPLE_RAW minimal.
This facility is needed for BPF's event output helper as a first
user that will, in a follow-up, add an additional perf_raw_frag
to its perf_raw_record in order to be able to more efficiently
dump skb context after a linear head meta data related to it.
skbs can be non-linear and thus need a custom output function to
dump buffers. Currently, the skb data needs to be copied twice;
with the help of __output_custom() this work only needs to be
done once. Future users could be things like XDP/BPF programs
that work on different context though and would thus also have
a different callback function.
The few users of raw records are adapted to initialize their frag
data from the raw record itself, no change in behavior for them.
The code is based upon a PoC diff provided by Peter Zijlstra [1].

RDS: TCP: Enable mprds for rds-tcp
The third, and final, installment for mprds-tcp changes.
In Patch 3 of this set, if the transport support t_mp_capable,
we hash outgoing traffic across multiple paths. Additionally, even if
the transport is MP capable, we may be peering with some node that does
not support mprds, or supports a different number of paths. This
necessitates RDS control plane changes so that both peers agree
on the number of paths to be used for the rds-tcp connection.
Patch 3 implements all these changes, which are documented in patch 5
of the series.
Patch 1 of this series is a bug fix for a race-condition

As the existing comments in rds_tcp_listen_data_ready() indicate,
it is possible under some race-windows to get to this function with the
accept() socket. If that happens, we could run into a sequence whereby
thread 1 thread 2
rds_tcp_accept_one() thread
sets up new_sock via ->accept().
The sk_user_data is now
sock_def_readable
data comes in for new_sock,
->sk_data_ready is called, and
we land in rds_tcp_listen_data_ready
rds_tcp_set_callbacks()
takes the sk_callback_lock and
sets up sk_user_data to be the cp
read_lock sk_callback_lock
ready = cp
unlock sk_callback_lock
page fault on ready
In the above sequence, we end up with a panic on a bad page reference
when trying to execute (*ready)(). Instead we need to call
sock_def_readable() safely, which is what this patch achieves.

Mellanox 100G mlx5 Bulk flow statistics and SRIOV TC offloads
This series from Amir and Or deals with two enhancements for the mlx5 TC offloads.
The 1st two patches add bulk reading of flow counters. Few bulk counter queries are
used instead of issuing thousands firmware commands per second to get statistics of all
flows set to HW.
The next patches add TC based SRIOV offloading to mlx5, as a follow up for the e-switch
offloads mode and the VF representors. When the e-switch is set to the (new) "offloads"
mode, we can now offload TC/flower drop and forward rules, the forward action we offload
is TC mirred/redirect.
The above is done by the VF representor netdevices exporting the setup_tc ndo where from

V2:
