====================
zerocopy refinements
1/4 is a small optimization follow-up to the earlier fix to skb_segment:
check skb state once per skb, instead of once per frag.
2/4 makes behavior more consistent between standard and zerocopy send:
set the PSH bit when hitting MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This helps GRO.
3/4 resolves a surprising inconsistency in notification:
because small packets were not stored in frags, they would not set
the copied error code over loopback. This change also optimizes
the path by removing copying and making tso_fragment cheaper.
4/4 follows-up to 3/4 by no longer allocated now unused memory.
this was actually already in RFC patches, but dropped as I pared
down the patch set during revisions.

Zerocopy payload is now always stored in frags, and space for headers

This avoids an unnecessary copy of 1-2KB and improves tso_fragment,
which has to fall back to tcp_fragment if skb->len != skb_data_len.
It also avoids a surprising inconsistency in notifications:
Zerocopy packets sent over loopback have their frags copied, so set
SO_EE_CODE_ZEROCOPY_COPIED in the notification. But this currently
does not happen for small packets, because when all data fits in the
linear fragment, data is not copied in skb_orphan_frags_rx.

This is a net-next follow-up to commit 268b790679 ("skbuff: orphan
frags before zerocopy clone"), which fixed a bug in net, but added a
call to skb_zerocopy_clone at each frag to do so.
When segmenting skbs with user frags, either the user frags must be
replaced with private copies and uarg released, or the uarg must have
its refcount increased for each new skb.
skb_orphan_frags does the first, except for cases that can handle
reference counting. skb_zerocopy_clone then does the second.
Call these once per nskb, instead of once per frag.
That is, in the common case. With a frag list, also refresh when the
origin skb (frag_skb) changes.

ASSERT_RTNL() macro is actual open-coded variant of WARN_ONCE() with
two exceptions. First, it prints stack for multiple hits and not only
once as WARN_ONCE() does. Second, the user can disable prints of
WARN_ONCE by setting CONFIG_BUG to N.
The multiple prints of dump stack are actually not needed, because calls
without rtnl lock are programming errors and user can't do anything
about them except to complain to the mailing list after first occurrence
of such failure.
The user who disabled BUG/WARN prints did it explicitly because by default
in upstream kernel and distributions this option is enabled. It means
that user doesn't want to see prints about missing locks too.
This patch replaces open-coded variant in favor of already existing
macro and change error prints to be once only.

flow_dissector: Provide basic batman-adv unicast handling
we are currently starting to use batman-adv as mesh protocol on multicore
embedded devices. These usually don't have a lot of CPU power per core but
are reasonable fast when using multiple cores.
It was noticed that sending was working very well but receiving was
basically only using on CPU core per neighbor. The reason for that is
format of the (normal) incoming packet:
+--------------------+
| ip(v6)hdr |
+--------------------+
| inner ethhdr |
+--------------------+
| batadv unicast hdr |
+--------------------+
| outer ethhdr |
+--------------------+
The flow dissector will therefore stop after parsing the outer ethernet
header and will not parse the actual ipv(4|6)/... header of the packet. Our
assumption was now that it would help us to add minimal support to the flow
dissector to jump over the batman-adv unicast and inner ethernet header
(like in gre ETH_P_TEB). The patch was implemented in a slightly hacky
way [1] and the results looked quite promising.
I didn't get any feedback how the files should actually be named. So I am
now just using the names from RFC v3

Changes in v2:
==============
* removed the batman-adv unicast packet header definition from flow_dissector.c
* moved the batman-adv packet.h/uapi headers around to provide the correct
definitions to flow_dissector.c
====================

The batman-adv unicast packets contain a full layer 2 frame in encapsulated
form. The flow dissector must therefore be able to parse the batman-adv
unicast header to reach the layer 2+3 information.

| inner ethhdr |

| batadv unicast hdr |

The obtained information from the upper layer can then be used by RPS to
schedule the processing on separate cores. This allows better distribution
of multiple flows from the same neighbor to different cores.

The header file is used by different userspace programs to inject packets
or to decode sniffed packets. It should therefore be available to them as
userspace header.
Also other components in the kernel (like the flow dissector) require
access to the packet definitions to be able to decode ETH_P_BATMAN ethernet
packets.

The uapi headers use the __u8/__u16/... version of the fixed width types
instead of u8/u16/... The use of the latter must be avoided before
packet.h is copied to include/uapi/linux/.

The BIT(x) macro is no longer available for uapi headers because it is
defined outside of it (linux/bitops.h). The use of it must therefore be
avoided and replaced by an appropriate other representation.
