Most people acquire PF_PACKET sockets with a protocol argument in
the socket call, e.g. libpcap does so with htons(ETH_P_ALL) for
all its sockets. Most likely, at some point in time a subsequent
bind() call will follow, e.g. in libpcap with ...
memset(&sll, 0, sizeof(sll));
sll.sll_family = AF_PACKET;
sll.sll_ifindex = ifindex;
sll.sll_protocol = htons(ETH_P_ALL);
... as arguments. What happens in the kernel is that already
in socket() syscall, we install a proto hook via register_prot_hook()
if our protocol argument is != 0. Yet, in bind() we're almost
doing the same work by doing a unregister_prot_hook() with an
expensive synchronize_net() call in case during socket() the proto
was != 0, plus follow-up register_prot_hook() with a bound device
to it this time, in order to limit traffic we get.
In the case when the protocol and user supplied device index (== 0)
does not change from socket() to bind(), we can spare us doing
the same work twice. Similarly for re-binding to the same device
and protocol. For these scenarios, we can decrease create/bind
latency from ~7447us (sock-bind-2 case) to ~89us (sock-bind-1 case)
with this patch.
Alternatively, for the first case, if people care, they should
simply create their sockets with proto == 0 argument and define
the protocol during bind() as this saves a call to synchronize_net()
as well (sock-bind-3 case).
In all other cases, we're tied to user space behaviour we must not
change, also since a bind() is not strictly required. Thus, we need
the synchronize_net() to make sure no asynchronous packet processing
paths still refer to the previous elements of po->prot_hook.
In case of mmap()ed sockets, the workflow that includes bind() is
socket() -> setsockopt(<ring>) -> bind(). In that case, a pair of
{__unregister, register}_prot_hook is being called from setsockopt()
in order to install the new protocol receive handler. Thus, when
we call bind and can skip a re-hook, we have already previously
installed the new handler. For fanout, this is handled different
entirely, so we should be good.
Timings on an i7-3520M machine:
* sock-bind-1: 89 us
* sock-bind-2: 7447 us
* sock-bind-3: 75 us
sock-bind-1:
socket(PF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, htons(ETH_P_IP)) = 3

Recent commit 438e38fadc
("gre_offload: statically build GRE offloading support") added
new module_init/module_exit calls to the gre_offload.c file.
The file is obj-y and can't be anything other than built-in.
Currently it can never be built modular, so using module_init
as an alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading.
Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that
would be a worse thing. We also make the inclusion explicit.
Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one
of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets
mapped onto device_initcall, our use of device_initcall
directly in this change means that the runtime impact is
zero -- it will remain at level 6 in initcall ordering.
As for the module_exit, rather than replace it with __exitcall,
we simply remove it, since it appears only UML does anything
with those, and even for UML, there is no relevant cleanup
to be done here.

net: stmmac PM related fixes.
During PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE testing, I have noticed that PM support in STMMAC is
partly broken. I had to re-arrange the code to do PM correctly. There were lot
of things I did not like personally and some bits did not work in the first
place. I thought this is the nice opportunity to clean the mess up.
Here is what I did:
any
1> Test PM suspend freeze via pm_test
It did not work for following reasons.
- If the power to gmac is removed when it enters in low power state.
stmmac_resume could not cope up with such behaviour, it was expecting the ip
register contents to be still same as before entering low power, This
assumption is wrong. So I started to add some code to do Hardware
initialization, thats when I started to re-arrange the code. stmmac_open
contains both resource and memory allocations and hardware initialization. I
had to separate these two things in two different functions.
These two patches do that
net: stmmac: move dma allocation to new function
net: stmmac: move hardware setup for stmmac_open to new function
And rest of the other patches are fixing the loose ends, things like mdio
reset, which might be necessary in cases likes hibernation(I did not test).
In hibernation cases the driver was just unregistering with subsystems and
releasing resources which I did not like and its not necessary to do this as
part of PM. So using the same stmmac_suspend/resume made more sense for
hibernation cases than using stmmac_open/release.
Also fixed a NULL pointer dereference bug too.
2> Test WOL via PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE
Did get an wakeup interrupt, but could not wakeup a freeze system.
So I had to add pm_wakeup_event to the driver.
net: stmmac: notify the PM core of a wakeup event. patch.
Also few patches like
net: stmmac: make stmmac_mdio_reset non-static
net: stmmac: restore pinstate in pm resume.
helps the resume function to reset the phy and put back the pins in default
state.
Changes since RFC:
- Rebased to net-next on Dave's suggestion.

In PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE and WOL(Wakeup On Lan) case, when the driver gets a
wakeup event, either the driver or platform specific PM code should notify
the pm core about it, so that the system can wakeup from low power.
In cases where there is no involvement of platform specific PM, it
becomes driver responsibility to notify the PM core to wakeup the
system.
Without this WOL with PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE does not work on STi based SOCs.

In hibernation freeze case the driver just releases the resources like
dma buffers, irqs, unregisters the drivers and during restore it does
register, request the resources. This is not really necessary, as part
of power management all the data structures are intact, all the
previously allocated resources can be used after coming out of low
power.
This patch uses the suspend and resume callbacks for freeze and
restore which initializes the hardware correctly without unregistering
or releasing the resources, this should also help in reducing the time
to restore.
Also this patch fixes a bug in stmmac_pltfr_restore and
stmmac_pltfr_freeze where it tries to get hold of platform data via
dev_get_platdata call, which would return NULL in device tree cases and
the next if statement would crash as there is no NULL check.

The driver PM resume assumes that the IP is still powered up and the
all the register contents are not disturbed when it comes out of low
power suspend case. This assumption is wrong, basically the driver
should not consider any state of registers after it comes out of low
power. However driver can keep the part of the IP powered up if its a
wake up source. But it can not assume the register state of the IP. Also
its possible that SOC glue layer can take the power off the IP if its
not wake-up source to reduce the power consumption.

====================
Assorted mvneta fixes and improvements
this series provides some fixes for a number of issues met with the
mvneta driver, then adds some improvements. Patches 1-5 are fixes
and would be needed in 3.13 and likely -stable. The next ones are
performance improvements and cleanups :
- driver lockup when reading stats while sending traffic from multiple
CPUs : this obviously only happens on SMP and is the result of missing
locking on the driver. The problem was present since the introduction
of the driver in 3.8. The first patch performs some changes that are
needed for the second one which actually fixes the issue by using
per-cpu counters. It could make sense to backport this to the relevant
stable versions.
- mvneta_tx_timeout calls various functions to reset the NIC, and these
functions sleep, which is not allowed here, resulting in a panic.
Better completely disable this Tx timeout handler for now since it is
never called. The problem was encountered while developing some new
features, it's uncertain whether it's possible to reproduce it with
regular usage, so maybe a backport to stable is not needed.
- replace the Tx timer with a real Tx IRQ. As first reported by Arnaud
Ebalard and explained by Eric Dumazet, there is no way this driver
can work correctly if it uses a driver to recycle the Tx descriptors.
If too many packets are sent at once, the driver quickly ends up with
no descriptors (which happens twice as easily in GSO) and has to wait
10ms for recycling its descriptors and being able to send again. Eric
has worked around this in the core GSO code. But still when routing
traffic or sending UDP packets, the limitation is very visible. Using
Tx IRQs allows Tx descriptors to be recycled when sent. The coalesce
value is still configurable using ethtool. This fix turns the UDP
send bitrate from 134 Mbps to 987 Mbps (ie: line rate). It's made of
two patches, one to add the relevant bits from the original Marvell's
driver, and another one to implement the change. I don't know if it
should be backported to stable, as the bug only causes poor performance.
- Patches 6..8 are essentially cleanups, code deduplication and minor
optimizations for not re-fetching a value we already have (status).
- patch 9 changes the prefetch of Rx descriptor from current one to
next one. In benchmarks, it results in about 1% general performance
increase on HTTP traffic, probably because prefetching the current
descriptor does not leave enough time between the start of prefetch
and its usage.
- patch 10 implements support for build_skb() on Rx path. The driver
now preallocates frags instead of skbs and builds an skb just before
delivering it. This results in a 2% performance increase on HTTP
traffic, and up to 5% on small packet Rx rate.
- patch 11 implements rx_copybreak for small packets (256 bytes). It
avoids a dma_map_single()/dma_unmap_single() and increases the Rx
rate by 16.4%, from 486kpps to 573kpps. Further improvements up to
711kpps are possible depending how the DMA is used.
- patches 12 and 13 are extra cleanups made possible by some of the
simplifications above.

calling dma_map_single()/dma_unmap_single() is quite expensive compared
to copying a small packet. So let's copy short frames and keep the buffers
mapped. We set the limit to 256 bytes which seems to give good results both
on the XP-GP board and on the AX3/4.
The Rx small packet rate increased by 16.4% doing this, from 486kpps to
573kpps. It is worth noting that even the call to the function
dma_sync_single_range_for_cpu() is expensive (300 ns) although less
than dma_unmap_single(). Without it, the packet rate raises to 711kpps
(+24% more). Thus on systems where coherency from device to CPU is
guaranteed by a snoop control unit, this patch should provide even more
gains, and probably rx_copybreak could be increased.

Make use of build_skb() to allocate frags on the RX path. When frag size
is lower than a page size, we can use netdev_alloc_frag(), and we fall back
to kmalloc() for larger sizes. The frag size is stored into the mvneta_port
struct. The alloc/free functions check the frag size to decide what alloc/
free method to use. MTU changes are safe because the MTU change function
stops the device and clears the queues before applying the change.
With this patch, I observed a reproducible 2% performance improvement on

Right now the mvneta driver doesn't handle Tx IRQ, and relies on two
mechanisms to flush Tx descriptors : a flush at the end of mvneta_tx()
and a timer. If a burst of packets is emitted faster than the device
can send them, then the queue is stopped until next wake-up of the
timer 10ms later. This causes jerky output traffic with bursts and
pauses, making it difficult to reach line rate with very few streams.
A test on UDP traffic shows that it's not possible to go beyond 134
Mbps / 12 kpps of outgoing traffic with 1500-bytes IP packets. Routed
traffic tends to observe pauses as well if the traffic is bursty,
making it even burstier after the wake-up.
It seems that this feature was inherited from the original driver but
nothing there mentions any reason for not using the interrupt instead,
which the chip supports.
Thus, this patch enables Tx interrupts and removes the timer. It does
the two at once because it's not really possible to make the two
mechanisms coexist, so a split patch doesn't make sense.
First tests performed on a Mirabox (Armada 370) show that less CPU
seems to be used when sending traffic. One reason might be that we now
call the mvneta_tx_done_gbe() with a mask indicating which queues have
been done instead of looping over all of them.
The same UDP test above now happily reaches 987 Mbps / 87.7 kpps.
Single-stream TCP traffic can now more easily reach line rate. HTTP
transfers of 1 MB objects over a single connection went from 730 to
840 Mbps. It is even possible to go significantly higher (>900 Mbps)
by tweaking tcp_tso_win_divisor.

Marvell has not published the chip's datasheet yet, so it's very hard
to find the relevant bits to manipulate to change the IRQ behaviour.
Fortunately, these bits are described in the proprietary LSP patch set
which is publicly available here :
http://www.plugcomputer.org/downloads/mirabox/
So let's put them back in the driver in order to reduce the burden of
current and future maintenance.

Ben Hutchings attempted to propose a better fix consisting in using a
scheduled work for this, but while it fixed this panic, it caused other
random freezes and panics proving that the reset sequence in the driver
is unreliable and that additional fixes should be investigated.
When sending multiple streams over a link limited to 100 Mbps, Tx timeouts
happen from time to time, and the driver correctly recovers only when the
function is disabled.

Stats writers are mvneta_rx() and mvneta_tx(). They don't lock anything
when they update the stats, and as a result, it randomly happens that
the stats freeze on SMP if two updates happen during stats retrieval.
This is very easily reproducible by starting two HTTP servers and binding
each of them to a different CPU, then consulting /proc/net/dev in loops
during transfers, the interface should immediately lock up. This issue
also randomly happens upon link state changes during transfers, because
the stats are collected in this situation, but it takes more attempts to
reproduce it.
The comments in netdevice.h suggest using per_cpu stats instead to get
rid of this issue.
This patch implements this. It merges both rx_stats and tx_stats into
a single "stats" member with a single syncp. Both mvneta_rx() and
mvneta_rx() now only update the a single CPU's counters.
In turn, mvneta_get_stats64() does the summing by iterating over all CPUs
to get their respective stats.
With this change, stats are still correct and no more lockup is encountered.
Note that this bug was present since the first import of the mvneta
driver. It might make sense to backport it to some stable trees. If
so, it depends on "d33dc73 net: mvneta: increase the 64-bit rx/tx stats
out of the hot path".

Better count packets and bytes in the stack and on 32 bit then
accumulate them at the end for once. This saves two memory writes
and two memory barriers per packet. The incoming packet rate was
increased by 4.7% on the Openblocks AX3 thanks to this.

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include <linux/init.h>. Most are just a

When ndo_neigh_setup is called, the bitfield used by NEIGH_VAR_SET is
not initialized yet. This might cause confusion for the people who use
NEIGH_VAR_SET in ndo_neigh_setup. So rather introduce NEIGH_VAR_INIT for

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates
This series contains several updates from Alex to ixgbe.
To avoid head of line blocking in the event a VF stops cleaning Rx descriptors
he makes sure QDE bits are set for a VF before the Rx queues are enabled.
To avoid a situation where the head write-back registers can remain set ofter
the driver is unloaded he clears them on a VF reset.

ixgbe: Force QDE via PFQDE for VFs during reset
ixgbe: Clear head write-back registers on VF reset
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
The Tx head write-back registers are not cleared during an FLR or VF reset.
As a result a configuration that had head write-back enabled can leave the
registers set after the driver is unloaded. If the next driver loaded doesn't
use the write-back registers this can lead to a bad configuration where
head write-back is enabled, but the driver didn't request it.
To avoid this situation the PF should be resetting the Tx head write-back
registers when the VF requests a reset.

ipv6 addrconf: add IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE flag to suppress creation of IP6 routes
v1 -> v2: add a second commit, handling NOPREFIXROUTE in ip6_del_addr.
v2 -> v3: reword commit messages, code comments and some refactoring.
v3 -> v4: refactor, rename variables, add enum
v4 -> v5: rebase, so that patch applies cleanly to current net-next/master
====================

Refactor the deletion/update of prefix routes when removing an
address. Now also consider IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE and if there is an address
present with this flag, to not cleanup the route. Instead, assume
that userspace is taking care of this route.
Also perform the same cleanup, when userspace changes an existing address
to add NOPREFIXROUTE (to an address that didn't have this flag). This is
done because when the address was added, a prefix route was created for it.
Since the user now wants to handle this route by himself, we cleanup this
route.
This cleanup of the route is not totally robust. There is no guarantee,
that the route we are about to delete was really the one added by the
kernel. This behavior does not change by the patch, and in practice it
should work just fine.

When adding/modifying an IPv6 address, the userspace application needs
a way to suppress adding a prefix route. This is for example relevant
together with IFA_F_MANAGERTEMPADDR, where userspace creates autoconf
generated addresses, but depending on on-link, no route for the
prefix should be added.
