Currently adding a new ipv4 address always cause the creation of the
related network route, with default metric. When a host has multiple
interfaces on the same network, multiple routes with the same metric
are created.
If the userspace wants to set specific metric on each routes, i.e.
giving better metric to ethernet links in respect to Wi-Fi ones,
the network routes must be deleted and recreated, which is error-prone.
This patch implements the support for IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE for ipv4
address. When an address is added with such flag set, no associated
network route is created, no network route is deleted when
said IP is gone and it's up to the user space manage such route.

It is preferred to let the driver handle the dump operation the way it works
best for the chip. Thus, drop port_fdb_getnext and implement the port_fdb_dump
operation in DSA, which pushes the switchdev FDB dump callback down to the
drivers. mv88e6xxx is the only driver affected and is updated accordingly.

This helper is used to send raw data from eBPF program into

User space needs to perf_event_open() it (either for one or all cpus) and
store FD into perf_event_array (similar to bpf_perf_event_read() helper)
before eBPF program can send data into it.
Today the programs triggered by kprobe collect the data and either store
it into the maps or print it via bpf_trace_printk() where latter is the debug
facility and not suitable to stream the data. This new helper replaces
such bpf_trace_printk() usage and allows programs to have dedicated

In the ipv4 outbound path of an ipvlan device in l3 mode, the ifindex is
being grabbed from dev_get_iflink. This works for the physical device
case, since as the documentation of that function notes: "Physical
interfaces have the same 'ifindex' and 'iflink' values.". However, if
the master device is a veth, and the pairs are in separate net
namespaces, the route lookup will fail with -ENODEV due to outer veth
pair being in a separate namespace from the ipvlan master/routing
namespace.
ns0 | ns1 | ns2
veth0a--|--veth0b--|--ipvl0
In ipvlan_process_v4_outbound(), a packet sent from ipvl0 in the above
configuration will pass fl.flowi4_oif == veth0a to
ip_route_output_flow(), but *net == ns1.
Notice also that ipv6 processing is not using iflink. Since there is a
discrepancy in usage, fixup both v4 and v6 case to use local dev
variable.
Tested this with l3 ipvlan on top of veth, as well as with single
physical interface in the top namespace.

if_nlmsg_size() overestimates the minimum allocation size of netlink
dump request (when called from rtnl_calcit()) or the size of the
message (when called from rtnl_getlink()). This is because
ext_filter_mask is not supported by rtnl_link_get_af_size() and
rtnl_link_get_size().
The over-estimation is significant when at least one netdev has many
VLANs configured (8 bytes for each configured VLAN).
This patch-set "rightsizes" the protocol specific attribute size
calculation by propagating ext_filter_mask to rtnl_link_get_af_size()
and adding this a argument to get_link_af_size op in rtnl_af_ops.
Bridge module already used filtering aware sizing for notifications.
br_get_link_af_size_filtered() is consistent with the modified
get_link_af_size op so it replaces br_get_link_af_size() in br_af_ops.
br_get_link_af_size() becomes unused and thus removed.

====================
RACK loss detection
RACK (Recent ACK) loss recovery uses the notion of time instead of
packet sequence (FACK) or counts (dupthresh).
It's inspired by the FACK heuristic in tcp_mark_lost_retrans(): when a
limited transmit (new data packet) is sacked in recovery, then any
retransmission sent before that newly sacked packet was sent must have
been lost, since at least one round trip time has elapsed.
But that existing heuristic from tcp_mark_lost_retrans()
has several limitations:
1) it can't detect tail drops since it depends on limited transmit
2) it's disabled upon reordering (assumes no reordering)
3) it's only enabled in fast recovery but not timeout recovery
RACK addresses these limitations with a core idea: an unacknowledged
packet P1 is deemed lost if a packet P2 that was sent later is is
s/acked, since at least one round trip has passed.
Since RACK cares about the time sequence instead of the data sequence
of packets, it can detect tail drops when a later retransmission is
s/acked, while FACK or dupthresh can't. For reordering RACK uses a
dynamically adjusted reordering window ("reo_wnd") to reduce false
positives on ever (small) degree of reordering, similar to the delayed
Early Retransmit.
In the current patch set RACK is only a supplemental loss detection
and does not trigger fast recovery. However we are developing RACK
to replace or consolidate FACK/dupthresh, early retransmit, and
thin-dupack. These heuristics all implicitly bear the time notion.
For example, the delayed Early Retransmit is simply applying RACK
to trigger the fast recovery with small inflight.
RACK requires measuring the minimum RTT. Tracking a global min is less
robust due to traffic engineering pathing changes. Therefore it uses a
windowed filter by Kathleen Nichols. The min RTT can also be useful
for various other purposes like congestion control or stat monitoring.
This patch has been used on Google servers for well over 1 year. RACK
has also been implemented in the QUIC protocol. We are submitting an
IETF draft as well.

This patch implements the second half of RACK that uses the the most
recent transmit time among all delivered packets to detect losses.
tcp_rack_mark_lost() is called upon receiving a dubious ACK.
It then checks if an not-yet-sacked packet was sent at least
"reo_wnd" prior to the sent time of the most recently delivered.
If so the packet is deemed lost.
The "reo_wnd" reordering window starts with 1msec for fast loss
detection and changes to min-RTT/4 when reordering is observed.
We found 1msec accommodates well on tiny degree of reordering
(<3 pkts) on faster links. We use min-RTT instead of SRTT because
reordering is more of a path property but SRTT can be inflated by
self-inflicated congestion. The factor of 4 is borrowed from the
delayed early retransmit and seems to work reasonably well.
Since RACK is still experimental, it is now used as a supplemental
loss detection on top of existing algorithms. It is only effective
after the fast recovery starts or after the timeout occurs. The
fast recovery is still triggered by FACK and/or dupack threshold
instead of RACK.
We introduce a new sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_recovery for future
experiments of loss recoveries. For now RACK can be disabled by
setting it to 0.

This patch is the first half of the RACK loss recovery.
RACK loss recovery uses the notion of time instead
of packet sequence (FACK) or counts (dupthresh). It's inspired by the
previous FACK heuristic in tcp_mark_lost_retrans(): when a limited
transmit (new data packet) is sacked, then current retransmitted
sequence below the newly sacked sequence must been lost,
since at least one round trip time has elapsed.
But it has several limitations:
1) can't detect tail drops since it depends on limited transmit
2) is disabled upon reordering (assumes no reordering)
3) only enabled in fast recovery ut not timeout recovery
RACK (Recently ACK) addresses these limitations with the notion
of time instead: a packet P1 is lost if a later packet P2 is s/acked,
as at least one round trip has passed.
Since RACK cares about the time sequence instead of the data sequence
of packets, it can detect tail drops when later retransmission is
s/acked while FACK or dupthresh can't. For reordering RACK uses a
dynamically adjusted reordering window ("reo_wnd") to reduce false
positives on ever (small) degree of reordering.
This patch implements tcp_advanced_rack() which tracks the
most recent transmission time among the packets that have been
delivered (ACKed or SACKed) in tp->rack.mstamp. This timestamp
is the key to determine which packet has been lost.
Consider an example that the sender sends six packets:
T1: P1 (lost)
T2: P2
T3: P3
T4: P4
T100: sack of P2. rack.mstamp = T2
T101: retransmit P1
T102: sack of P2,P3,P4. rack.mstamp = T4
T205: ACK of P4 since the hole is repaired. rack.mstamp = T101
We need to be careful about spurious retransmission because it may
falsely advance tp->rack.mstamp by an RTT or an RTO, causing RACK
to falsely mark all packets lost, just like a spurious timeout.
We identify spurious retransmission by the ACK's TS echo value.
If TS option is not applicable but the retransmission is acknowledged
less than min-RTT ago, it is likely to be spurious. We refrain from
using the transmission time of these spurious retransmissions.
The second half is implemented in the next patch that marks packet
lost using RACK timestamp.

Kathleen Nichols' algorithm for tracking the minimum RTT of a
data stream over some measurement window. It uses constant space
and constant time per update. Yet it almost always delivers
the same minimum as an implementation that has to keep all
the data in the window. The measurement window is tunable via
sysctl.net.ipv4.tcp_min_rtt_wlen with a default value of 5 minutes.
The algorithm keeps track of the best, 2nd best & 3rd best min
values, maintaining an invariant that the measurement time of
the n'th best >= n-1'th best. It also makes sure that the three
values are widely separated in the time window since that bounds
the worse case error when that data is monotonically increasing
over the window.
Upon getting a new min, we can forget everything earlier because
it has no value - the new min is less than everything else in the
window by definition and it's the most recent. So we restart fresh
on every new min and overwrites the 2nd & 3rd choices. The same
property holds for the 2nd & 3rd best.
Therefore we have to maintain two invariants to maximize the
information in the samples, one on values (1st.v <= 2nd.v <=
3rd.v) and the other on times (now-win <=1st.t <= 2nd.t <= 3rd.t <=
now). These invariants determine the structure of the code
The RTT input to the windowed filter is the minimum RTT measured
from ACK or SACK, or as the last resort from TCP timestamps.
The accessor tcp_min_rtt() returns the minimum RTT seen in the
window. ~0U indicates it is not available. The minimum is 1usec
even if the true RTT is below that.

Currently ca_seq_rtt_us does not use Kern's check. Fix that by
checking if any packet acked is a retransmit, for both RTT used
for RTT estimation and congestion control.
Fixes: 5b08e47ca ("tcp: prefer packet timing to TS-ECR for RTT")

====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-10-19
This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only.
Kiran adds a spinlock around code accessing VSI MAC filter list to
ensure that we are synchronizing access to the filter list, otherwise
we can end up with multiple accesses at the same time which can cause
the VSI MAC filter list to get in an unstable or corrupted state.
Jesse fixes overlong BIT defines, where the RSS enabling call were
mistakenly missed. Also fixes a bug where the enable function was
enabling the interrupt twice while trying to update the two interrupt
throttle rate thresholds for Rx and Tx, while refactoring the IRQ
enable function to simplify reading the flow. Addressed the high
CPU utilization of some small streaming workloads that the driver should
reduce CPU in.
Anjali fixes two X722 issues with respect to EEPROM checksum verify and
reading NVM version info. Fixed where a mask value was accidentally
replaced with a bit mask causing Flow Director sideband to be broken.
Alex Duyck fixes areas of the drivers which run from hard interrupt
context or with interrupts already disabled in netpoll, so use
napi_schedule_irqoff() instead of napi_schedule().
Mitch fixes the VF drivers to not easily give up when it is not able
to communicate with the PF driver.
Carolyn fixes a problem where our tools MAC loopback test, after driver
unbind would fail because the hardware was configured for multiqueue and
unbind operation did not clear this configuration. Also fixed a issue
where the NVMUpdate tool gets bad data from the PHY when using the PHY
NVM feature because of contention on the MDIO interface from getting
PHY capability calls from the driver during regular operations.
Catherine fixed an issue where we were checking if autoneg was allowed
to change before checking if autoneg was changing, these checks need to
be in the reverse order.
Jean Sacren fixes up an function header comment to align the kernel-docs
with the actual code.
v2: Cleaned up the use of spin_is_locked() in patch 1 based on feedback
from David Miller, since it always evaluates to zero on uni-processor
builds

Group station statistics by where they're (mostly) updated
(TX, RX and TX-status) and group them into sub-structs of
the struct sta_info.
Also rename the variables since the grouping now makes it
obvious where they belong.
This makes it easier to identify where the statistics are
updated in the code, and thus easier to think about them.

There's little point in keeping (and even sending to userspace)
the beacon_loss_count value per station, since it can only apply
to the AP on a managed-mode connection. Move the value to ifmgd,
advertise it only in managed mode, and remove it from ethtool as
it's available through better interfaces.

This file only feeds a debugfs file that isn't very useful, so remove
it. If necessary, we can add other ways to get this information, for
example in the NL80211_CMD_PROBE_CLIENT response.

Conflicts:
drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c
net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c
net/switchdev/switchdev.c
In the inet_connection_sock.c case the request socket hashing scheme
is completely different in net-next.
The other two conflicts were overlapping changes.
