Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next

Pull networking changes from David S Miller:

1) Remove the ipv4 routing cache. Now lookups go directly into the FIB
trie and use prebuilt routes cached there.

No more garbage collection, no more rDOS attacks on the routing
cache. Instead we now get predictable and consistent performance,
no matter what the pattern of traffic we service.

This has been almost 2 years in the making. Special thanks to
Julian Anastasov, Eric Dumazet, Steffen Klassert, and others who
have helped along the way.

I'm sure that with a change of this magnitude there will be some
kind of fallout, but such things ought the be simple to fix at this
point. Luckily I'm not European so I'll be around all of August to
fix things :-)

The major stages of this work here are each fronted by a forced
merge commit whose commit message contains a top-level description
of the motivations and implementation issues.

2) Pre-demux of established ipv4 TCP sockets, saves a route demux on
input.

3) TCP SYN/ACK performance tweaks from Eric Dumazet.

4) Add namespace support for netfilter L4 conntrack helpers, from Gao
Feng.

5) Add config mechanism for Energy Efficient Ethernet to ethtool, from
Yuval Mintz.

6) Remove quadratic behavior from /proc/net/unix, from Eric Dumazet.

7) Support for connection tracker helpers in userspace, from Pablo
Neira Ayuso.

8) Allow userspace driven TX load balancing functions in TEAM driver,
from Jiri Pirko.

9) Kill off NLMSG_PUT and RTA_PUT macros, more gross stuff with
embedded gotos.

10) TCP Small Queues, essentially minimize the amount of TCP data queued
up in the packet scheduler layer. Whereas the existing BQL (Byte
Queue Limits) limits the pkt_sched --> netdevice queuing levels,
this controls the TCP --> pkt_sched queueing levels.

From Eric Dumazet.

11) Reduce the number of get_page/put_page ops done on SKB fragments,
from Alexander Duyck.

12) Implement protection against blind resets in TCP (RFC 5961), from
Eric Dumazet.

13) Support the client side of TCP Fast Open, basically the ability to
send data in the SYN exchange, from Yuchung Cheng.

Basically, the sender queues up data with a sendmsg() call using
MSG_FASTOPEN, then they do the connect() which emits the queued up
fastopen data.

14) Avoid all the problems we get into in TCP when timers or PMTU events
hit a locked socket. The TCP Small Queues changes added a
tcp_release_cb() that allows us to queue work up to the
release_sock() caller, and that's what we use here too. From Eric
Dumazet.

15) Zero copy on TX support for TUN driver, from Michael S. Tsirkin.

This reverts commit c074da2810c118b3812f32d6754bd9ead2f169e7.

This change has several unwanted side effects:

1) Sockets will cache the DST_NOCACHE route in sk->sk_rx_dst and we'll
thus never create a real cached route.

2) All TCP traffic will use DST_NOCACHE and never use the routing
cache at all.

ipv4: tcp: dont cache unconfirmed intput dst

DDOS synflood attacks hit badly IP route cache.

On typical machines, this cache is allowed to hold up to 8 Millions dst
entries, 256 bytes for each, for a total of 2GB of memory.

rt_garbage_collect() triggers and tries to cleanup things.

Eventually route cache is disabled but machine is under fire and might
OOM and crash.

This patch exploits the new TCP early demux, to set a nocache
boolean in case incoming TCP frame is for a not yet ESTABLISHED or
TIMEWAIT socket.

This 'nocache' boolean is then used in case dst entry is not found in
route cache, to create an unhashed dst entry (DST_NOCACHE)

SYN-cookie-ACK sent use a similar mechanism (ipv4: tcp: dont cache
output dst for syncookies), so after this patch, a machine is able to
absorb a DDOS synflood attack without polluting its IP route cache.

ipv4: Early TCP socket demux.

Input packet processing for local sockets involves two major demuxes.
One for the route and one for the socket.

But we can optimize this down to one demux for certain kinds of local
sockets.

Currently we only do this for established TCP sockets, but it could
at least in theory be expanded to other kinds of connections.

If a TCP socket is established then it's identity is fully specified.

This means that whatever input route was used during the three-way
handshake must work equally well for the rest of the connection since
the keys will not change.

Once we move to established state, we cache the receive packet's input
route to use later.

Like the existing cached route in sk->sk_dst_cache used for output
packets, we have to check for route invalidations using dst->obsolete
and dst->ops->check().

Early demux occurs outside of a socket locked section, so when a route
invalidation occurs we defer the fixup of sk->sk_rx_dst until we are
actually inside of established state packet processing and thus have
the socket locked.

Back-merge from drm-fixes into drm-intel-next to sort out two things:

- interlaced support: -fixes contains a bugfix to correctly clear
interlaced configuration bits in case the bios sets up an interlaced
mode and we want to set up the progressive mode (current kernels
don't support interlaced). The actual feature work to support
interlaced depends upon (and conflicts with) this bugfix.

- forcewake voodoo to workaround missed IRQ issues: -fixes only enabled
this for ivybridge, but some recent bug reports indicate that we
need this on Sandybridge, too. But in a slightly different flavour
and with other fixes and reworks on top. Additionally there are some
forcewake cleanup patches heading to -next that would conflict with
currrent -fixes.
