4c22400ab6 bonding: Use a per netns implementation of /sys/class/net/bonding_masters.
This fixes a network namespace misfeature that bonding_masters looked at
current instead of the remembering the context where in which
/sys/class/net/bonding_masters was opened in to see which network
namespace to act upon.

This removes the need for sysfs to handle tagged directories with
untagged members allowing for a conceptually simpler sysfs
implementation.

487505c257 sysfs: Implement support for tagged files in sysfs.
Looking up files in sysfs is hard to understand and analyize because we
currently allow placing untagged files in tagged directories.  In the
implementation of that we have two subtly different meanings of NULL.
NULL meaning there is no tag on a directory entry and NULL meaning
we don't care which namespace the lookup is performed for.  This
multiple uses of NULL have resulted in subtle bugs (since fixed)
in the code.

Currently it is only the bonding driver that needs to have an untagged
file in a tagged directory.

To untagle this mess I am adding support for tagged files to sysfs.
Modifying the bonding driver to implement bonding_masters as a tagged
file.  Registering bonding_masters once for each network namespace.
Then I am removing support for untagged entries in tagged sysfs
directories.

Resulting in code that is much easier to reason about.

d5edf2906e bonding: fix wrong port enabling in 802.3ad
The port shouldn't be enabled unless its current MUX
state is DISTRIBUTING which is correctly handled by
ad_mux_machine(), otherwise the packet sent can be
lost because the other end may not be ready.

The issue happens on every port initialization, but
as the ports are expected to move quickly to DISTRIBUTING,
it doesn't cause much problem.  However, it does cause
constant packet loss if the other peer has the port
configured to stay in STANDBY (i.e. SYNC set to OFF).

850a545bd8 net: Move rcu_barrier from rollback_registered_many to netdev_run_todo.
This patch moves the rcu_barrier from rollback_registered_many
(inside the rtnl_lock) into netdev_run_todo (just outside the rtnl_lock).
This allows us to gain the full benefit of sychronize_net calling
synchronize_rcu_expedited when the rtnl_lock is held.

The rcu_barrier in rollback_registered_many was originally a synchronize_net
but was promoted to be a rcu_barrier() when it was found that people were
unnecessarily hitting the 250ms wait in netdev_wait_allrefs().  Changing
the rcu_barrier back to a synchronize_net is therefore safe.

Since we only care about waiting for the rcu callbacks before we get
to netdev_wait_allrefs() it is also safe to move the wait into
netdev_run_todo.

This was tested by creating and destroying 1000 tap devices and observing
/proc/lock_stat.  /proc/lock_stat reports this change reduces the hold
times of the rtnl_lock by a factor of 10.  There was no observable
difference in the amount of time it takes to destroy a network device.

fddf86fc46 phylib: Modify Vitesse RGMII skew settings
The Vitesse driver was using the RGMII_ID interface type to determine if
skew was necessary.  However, we want to move away from using that
interface type, as it's really a property of the board's PHY connection.
However, some boards depend on it, so we want to support it, while
allowing new boards to use the more flexible "fixups" approach.  To do
this, we extract the code which adds skew into its own function, and
call that function when RGMII_ID has been selected.

Another side-effect of this change is that if your PHY has skew set
already, it doesn't clear it.  This way, the fixup code can modify the
register without config_init then clearing it.

However, there are times when a driver might want to optionally

299b076764 ipv6: Fix IPsec slowpath fragmentation problem
ip6_append_data() builds packets based on the mtu from dst_mtu(rt->dst.path).
On IPsec the effective mtu is lower because we need to add the protocol
headers and trailers later when we do the IPsec transformations. So after
the IPsec transformations the packet might be too big, which leads to a
slowpath fragmentation then. This patch fixes this by building the packets
based on the lower IPsec mtu from dst_mtu(&rt->dst) and adapts the exthdr
handling to this.

2425717b27 net: allow vlan traffic to be received under bond
The following configuration used to work as I expected. At least
we could use the fcoe interfaces to do MPIO and the bond0 iface
to do load balancing or failover.

       ---eth2.228-fcoe
       |
eth2 -----|
          |
          |---- bond0
          |
eth3 -----|
       |
       ---eth3.228-fcoe

This worked because of a change we added to allow inactive slaves
to rx 'exact' matches. This functionality was kept intact with the
rx_handler mechanism. However now the vlan interface attached to the
active slave never receives traffic because the bonding rx_handler
updates the skb->dev and goto's another_round. Previously, the
vlan_do_receive() logic was called before the bonding rx_handler.

Now by the time vlan_do_receive calls vlan_find_dev() the
skb->dev is set to bond0 and it is clear no vlan is attached
to this iface. The vlan lookup fails.

This patch moves the VLAN check above the rx_handler. A VLAN
tagged frame is now routed to the eth2.228-fcoe iface in the
above schematic. Untagged frames continue to the bond0 as
normal. This case also remains intact,

eth2 --> bond0 --> vlan.228

Here the skb is VLAN tagged but the vlan lookup fails on eth2
causing the bonding rx_handler to be called. On the second
pass the vlan lookup is on the bond0 iface and completes as
expected.

Putting a VLAN.228 on both the bond0 and eth2 device will
result in eth2.228 receiving the skb. I don't think this is
completely unexpected and was the result prior to the rx_handler
result.

Note, the same setup is also used for other storage traffic that
MPIO is used with eg. iSCSI and similar setups can be contrived
without storage protocols.

13946f5e4e ehea: Merge swqe2 TSO and non TSO paths
write_swqe2_TSO and write_swqe2_nonTSO are almost identical.

For TSO we have to set the TSO and mss bits in the wqe and we only
put the header in the immediate area, no data. Collapse both
functions into write_swqe2_immediate.

d695c335f9 ehea: Simplify ehea_xmit2 and ehea_xmit3
Based on a patch from Michael Ellerman, clean up a significant
portion of the transmit path. There was a lot of duplication here.
Even worse, we were always checksumming tx packets and ignoring the
skb->ip_summed field.

Also remove NETIF_F_FRAGLIST from dev->features, I'm not sure why
it was enabled.

945db2d4f4 ehea: Allocate large enough skbs to avoid partial cacheline DMA writes
The ehea adapter has a mode where it will avoid partial cacheline DMA
writes on receive by always padding packets to fall on a cacheline
boundary.

Unfortunately we currently aren't allocating enough space for a full
ethernet MTU packet to be rounded up, so this optimisation doesn't hit.

It's unfortunate that the next largest packet size exposed by the
hypervisor interface is 2kB, meaning our skb allocation comes out of a
4kB SLAB. However the performance increase due to this optimisation is
quite large and my TCP stream numbers increase from 900MB to 1000MB/sec.

076f203258 ehea: Add vlan_features
We weren't enabling any VLAN features so we missed out on checksum
offload and TSO when using VLANs. Enable them.

921ddc19b9 ehea: Dont check NETIF_F_TSO in TX path
It seems like the ehea xmit routine and an ethtool change of TSO
mode could race, resulting in corrupt packets. Checking gso_size
is enough and we can use the helper function.
