In kernel HTB keeps tokens in signed 64-bit in nanoseconds. In netlink
protocol these values are converted into pshed ticks (64ns for now) and
truncated to 32-bit. In struct tc_htb_xstats fields "tokens" and "ctokens"
are declared as unsigned 32-bit but they could be negative thus tool 'tc'
prints them as signed. Big values loose higher bits and/or become negative.
This patch clamps tokens in xstat into range from INT_MIN to INT_MAX.
In this way it's easier to understand what's going on here.

The dummy ruleset I used to test the original validation change was broken,
most rules were unreachable and were not tested by mark_source_chains().
In some cases rulesets that used to load in a few seconds now require
several minutes.
sample ruleset that shows the behaviour:
echo "*filter"
for i in $(seq 0 100000);do
printf ":chain_%06x - [0:0]\n" $i
done
for i in $(seq 0 100000);do
printf -- "-A INPUT -j chain_%06x\n" $i
printf -- "-A INPUT -j chain_%06x\n" $i
printf -- "-A INPUT -j chain_%06x\n" $i
done
echo COMMIT
[ pipe result into iptables-restore ]
This ruleset will be about 74mbyte in size, with ~500k searches
though all 500k[1] rule entries. iptables-restore will take forever
(gave up after 10 minutes)
Instead of always searching the entire blob for a match, fill an
array with the start offsets of every single ipt_entry struct,
then do a binary search to check if the jump target is present or not.
After this change ruleset restore times get again close to what one
gets when reverting 3647234101 (~3 seconds on my workstation).
[1] every user-defined rule gets an implicit RETURN, so we get
300k jumps + 100k userchains + 100k returns -> 500k rule entries

As reported by Dan in his report in [1], there is a potential NULL
pointer derefence if these conditions are met :
- there is no platform_data provided, ie. host->pdata = NULL
Fix this by only using the platform data ro_invert when a gpio for
read-only is provided by the platform data.
This doesn't appear yet as every pxa board provides a platform_data, and
calls pxa_set_mci_info() with a non NULL pointer.

alloc_workqueue replaces deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue().
A dedicated workqueue has been used since the workitem viz
lp->txtimeout_reinit is involved in reinitialization if a TX timeout
occurs, which is necessary to guarantee forward progress in packet
processing. As a network device can be used during memory reclaim, the
workqueue needs forward progress guarantee under memory pressure.
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM has been set to ensure this.
Since there is only a single work item, explicit concurrency limit is

There are actually two issues:
1. Whether "char" is signed or unsigned depends on the architecture.
As the completion callback data is used to pass a (negative) error

2. EINPROGRESS is 150 on mips, 245 on parisc.

In preparation for hardware offloading of ipmr/ip6mr we need an
interface that allows to check (and later update) the age of entries.
Relying on stats alone can show activity but not actual age of the entry,
furthermore when there're tens of thousands of entries a lot of the
hardware implementations only support "hit" bits which are cleared on
read to denote that the entry was active and shouldn't be aged out,
these can then be naturally translated into age timestamp and will be
compatible with the software forwarding age. Using a lastuse entry doesn't
affect performance because the members in that cache line are written to
along with the age.
Since all new users are encouraged to use ipmr via netlink, this is
exported via the RTA_EXPIRES attribute.
Also do a minor local variable declaration style adjustment - arrange them
longest to shortest.

macsec can't cope with mtu frames which need vlan tag insertion, and
vlan device set the default mtu equal to the underlying dev's one.
By default vlan over macsec devices use invalid mtu, dropping
all the large packets.
This patch adds a netif helper to check if an upper vlan device
needs mtu reduction. The helper is used during vlan devices
initialization to set a valid default and during mtu updating to
forbid invalid, too bit, mtu values.
The helper currently only check if the lower dev is a macsec device,
if we get more users, we need to update only the helper (possibly
reserving an additional IFF bit).

net: bridge: simplify receive path and consolidate forwarding paths
This set tries to simplify the receive and forwarding paths. Patch 01 is
a trivial style adjustment, patch 02 removes one conditional from the
unicast fast path, patch 03 removes another conditional and more imporantly
removes the skb0/skb2 ambiguity about locally receiving the skb and
switches to a boolean called "local_rcv".
Patch 04 is the most important change which consolidates the forwarding
paths for locally originated and forwarded packets into __br_forward. This
allows us to remove the function pointers giving a minor performance boost,
more importantly it makes it much easier to reason about the forwarding
path and reduces the code duplication that was needed when making changes.
Also it allows the receive path to fully setup the environment prior to
calling any forwarding functions (i.e. to properly set unicast, local_rcv
and search for unicast/mcast dst).
Functionally everything should stay the same after this set.
I've done basic tests with unicast/multicast/broadcast Tx/Rx. Please
review carefully.

Before this patch we had two flavors of most forwarding functions -
_forward and _deliver, the difference being that the latter are used
when the packets are locally originated. Instead of all this function
pointer passing and code duplication, we can just pass a boolean noting
that the packet was locally originated and use that to perform the
necessary checks in __br_forward. This gives a minor performance
improvement but more importantly consolidates the forwarding paths.
Also add a kernel doc comment to explain the exported br_forward()'s
arguments.

Currently if the packet is going to be received locally we set skb0 or
sometimes called skb2 variables to the original skb. This can get
confusing and also we can avoid one conditional on the fast path by
