net/hsr: Add support for the High-availability Seamless Redundancy protocol (HSRv0)

High-availability Seamless Redundancy ("HSR") provides instant failover
redundancy for Ethernet networks. It requires a special network topology where
all nodes are connected in a ring (each node having two physical network
interfaces). It is suited for applications that demand high availability and
very short reaction time.

HSR acts on the Ethernet layer, using a registered Ethernet protocol type to
send special HSR frames in both directions over the ring. The driver creates
virtual network interfaces that can be used just like any ordinary Linux
network interface, for IP/TCP/UDP traffic etc. All nodes in the network ring
must be HSR capable.

This code is a "best effort" to comply with the HSR standard as described in
IEC 62439-3:2010 (HSRv0).

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

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge
window. The only difference from the one I made the other day is that
this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes
made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have
trickeled in.

Highlights:

1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt
handling and context switches. Allows direct polling of a network
device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll().

Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature.

Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in
commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'")

From Eliezer Tamir.

2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised
more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast
addresses. Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from
Eric Dumazet.

3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from
Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski,
Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan.

4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from
Pavel Emelyanov.

5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from
Rony Efraim.

6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar.

7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from
Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet.

8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis,
from Cong Wang.

9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen
Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport. In particular,
support receiving on multiple UDP ports.

10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie
lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code. From Daniel
Borkmann.

11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel
devices. From Nicolas Dichtel.

12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a
manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all.
From Daniel Borkmann.

13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver,
from Johannes Berg.

14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue,
by using an rbtree. From Eric Dumazet.

15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung
Cheng.

16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon
Horman.

17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque
pointer that's passed into them. Use this to properly handle
network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event(). From Jiri
Pirko and Timo Teräs.

18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter
Huewe.

19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a
O(1) calculation instead. From Eric Dumazet.

20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just
like ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel.

21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet.

22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu
during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding. From
Willem de Bruijn.

23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric
Dumazet.

24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's
burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead. Also
from Eric Dumazet.

25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix
from Vlad Yasevich.

26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets. From Lorenzo Colitti.

27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time
too, from David Majnemer.

28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due
to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs.

29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in
upd_v6_push_pending_frames(). From Hannes Frederic Sowa.

30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman."

MPLS: Add limited GSO support

In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is
added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the
NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets.

The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets
whose skbs are GSO.

SKB Usage:

When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do
the following to skb metadata:

* Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet.
skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch.

* Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet.

* Set skb->network_header to correspond to the
end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack.

I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to
kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich.
That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls()
and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open
vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code
present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point.

Features:

I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially
consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that
you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation.

This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices
to advertise features supported for MPLS packets.

A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support
hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this
and MPLS GSO always falls back to software.

Alternate Implementation:

One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features()
and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their
understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need
for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to
__skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment().

I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should
not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled
into the kernel or inserted as a module.

MPLS GSO suggested by Jesse Gross.
