When LED triggers are compiled in, but not used, mac80211 will still
call them to update the status. This isn't really a problem for the
assoc and radio ones, but the TX/RX (and to a certain extend TPT)
ones can be called very frequently (for every packet.)
In order to avoid that when they're not used, track their activation
and call the corresponding trigger (and in the TPT case, account for
throughput) only when the trigger is actually used by an LED.
Additionally, make those trigger functions inlines since theyre only
used once in the remaining code.

Remove items that can be retrieved through nl80211. This also
removes two items (tx_packets and tx_bytes) where only the VO
counter was exposed since they are split up per AC but in the
debugfs file only the first AC was shown.
Also remove the useless "dev" file - the stations have long
been in a sub-directory of the netdev so there's no need for
that any more.

This counter is unsafe with concurrent TX and is only exposed
through debugfs and ethtool. Instead of trying to fix it just
remove it for now, if it's really needed then it should be
exposed through nl80211 and in a way that drivers that do the
fragmentation in the device could support it as well.

Since these counters can only be read through debugfs, there's
very little point in maintaining them all the time. However,
even just making them depend on debugfs is pointless - they're
not normally used. Additionally a number of them aren't even
concurrency safe.
Move them under MAC80211_DEBUG_COUNTERS so they're normally
not even compiled in.

The debugfs statistics macros are pointlessly verbose, so change

the unused counters and rename rx_expand_skb_head2 to the better
rx_expand_skb_head_defrag.

Johannes Berg says:
====================
We have only a few fixes right now:
* a fix for an issue with hash collision handling in the
rhashtable conversion
* a merge issue - rhashtable removed default shrinking
just before mac80211 was converted, so enable it now
* remove an invalid WARN that can trigger with legitimate
userspace behaviour
* add a struct member missing from kernel-doc that caused
a lot of warnings

Currently subscriber's lock protects not only subscriber's subscription
list but also all subscriptions linked into the list. However, as all
members of subscription are never changed after they are initialized,
it's unnecessary for subscription to be protected under subscriber's
lock. If the lock is used to only protect subscriber's subscription
list, the adjustment not only makes the locking policy simpler, but
also helps to avoid a deadlock which may happen once creating a
subscription is failed.

At present subscriber's lock is used to protect the subscription list
of subscriber as well as subscriptions linked into the list. While one
or all subscriptions are deleted through iterating the list, the
subscriber's lock must be held. Meanwhile, as deletion of subscription
may happen in subscription timer's handler, the lock must be grabbed
in the function as well. When subscription's timer is terminated with
del_timer_sync() during above iteration, subscriber's lock has to be
temporarily released, otherwise, deadlock may occur. However, the
temporary release may cause the double free of a subscription as the
subscription is not disconnected from the subscription list.
Now if a reference counter is introduced to subscriber, subscription's
timer can be asynchronously stopped with del_timer(). As a result, the
issue is not only able to be fixed, but also relevant code is pretty
readable and understandable.

When a topology server accepts a connection request from its client,
it allocates a connection instance and a tipc_subscriber structure
object. The former is used to communicate with client, and the latter
is often treated as a subscriber which manages all subscription events
requested from a same client. When a topology server receives a request
of subscribing name services from a client through the connection, it
creates a tipc_subscription structure instance which is seen as a
subscription recording what name services are subscribed. In order to
manage all subscriptions from a same client, topology server links
them into the subscrp_list of the subscriber. So subscriber and
subscription completely represents different meanings respectively,
but function names associated with them make us so confused that we
are unable to easily tell which function is against subscriber and
which is to subscription. So we want to eliminate the confusion by
renaming them.

The code in __netdev_upper_dev_link() has an over-stringent
loop detection logic that actually prevents valid configurations
from working correctly.
In particular, the logic returns an error if an upper device
is already in the list of all upper devices for a given dev.
This particular check seems to be a overzealous as it disallows
perfectly valid configurations. For example:
# ip l a link eth0 name eth0.10 type vlan id 10
# ip l a dev br0 typ bridge
# ip l s eth0.10 master br0
# ip l s eth0 master br0 <--- Will fail
If you switch the last two commands (add eth0 first), then both
will succeed. If after that, you remove eth0 and try to re-add
it, it will fail!
It appears to be enough to simply check adj_list to keeps things
safe.
I've tried stacking multiple devices multiple times in all different
combinations, and either rx_handler registration prevented the stacking
of the device linking cought the error.

With this patch, the IGMP and MLD message validation functions are moved
from the bridge code to IPv4/IPv6 multicast files. Some small
refactoring was done to enhance readibility and to iron out some
differences in behaviour between the IGMP and MLD parsing code (e.g. the
skb-cloning of MLD messages is now only done if necessary, just like the
IGMP part always did).
Finally, these IGMP and MLD message validation functions are exported so
that not only the bridge can use it but batman-adv later, too.

This reverts commit c243d7e20996254f89c28d4838b5feca735c030d.
That patch is solving a non-existant problem while creating a
real problem. Just because a socket is allocated in the init
name space doesn't mean that it gets hashed in the init name space.
When we unhash it the name space must be the same as the one
we had when we hashed it. So this patch is completely bogus
and causes socket leaks.

Some users of flow keys (well just sch_choke now) need to pass
flow_keys in skbuff cb, and use them for exact comparisons of flows
so that skb->hash is not sufficient. In order to increase size of
the flow_keys structure, we introduce another structure for
the purpose of passing flow keys in skbuff cb. We limit this structure
to sixteen bytes, and we will technically treat this as a digest of
flow_keys struct hence its name flow_keys_digest. In the first
incaranation we just copy the flow_keys structure up to 16 bytes--
this is the same information previously passed in the cb. In the
future, we'll adapt this for larger flow_keys and could use something
like SHA-1 over the whole flow_keys to improve the quality of the
digest.

In setups with a global scope address on an interface, and a lesser
scope address on an interface sending IGMP reports, the reports can be
sent using the other interfaces global scope address rather than the
local interface address. RFC 2236 suggests:
Ignore the Report if you cannot identify the source address of
the packet as belonging to a subnet assigned to the interface on
which the packet was received.
since such reports could be forged.

rdma_conn_param private data is copied using memcpy after headers such
as cma_hdr (see cma_resolve_ib_udp as example). so the start of the
private data is aligned to the end of the structure that come before. if
this structure end with u32 the meaning is that the start of the private
data will be 4 bytes aligned. structures that use u8/u16/u32/u64 are
naturally aligned but in case the structure start is not 8 bytes aligned,
all u64 members of this structure will not be aligned. to solve this issue
we must use special macros that allow unaligned access to those
unaligned members.

tcp_sacktag_one() always picks the earliest sequence SACKed for RTT.
This might not make sense for congestion control in cases where:
1. ACKs are lost, i.e. a SACK following a lost SACK covers both
new and old segments at the receiver.
2. The receiver disregards the RFC 5681 recommendation to immediately
ACK out-of-order segments.
Give congestion control a RTT for the latest segment SACKed, which is the
most accurate RTT estimate, but preserve the conservative RTT for RTO.

Avoid recomputing the Ethernet header location and instead just use the
pointer provided by skb->data. The problem with using eth_hdr is that the
compiler wasn't smart enough to realize that skb->head + skb->mac_header
was the same thing as skb->data before it added ETH_HLEN. By just caching
it off before calling skb_pull_inline we can avoid a few unnecessary

Under presence of TSO/GSO/GRO packets, codel at low rates can be quite
useless. In following example, not a single packet was ever dropped,
while average delay in codel queue is ~100 ms !
qdisc codel 0: parent 1:12 limit 16000p target 5.0ms interval 100.0ms
Sent 134376498 bytes 88797 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
backlog 13626b 3p requeues 0
count 0 lastcount 0 ldelay 96.9ms drop_next 0us
maxpacket 9084 ecn_mark 0 drop_overlimit 0
This comes from a confusion of what should be the minimal backlog. It is
pretty clear it is not 64KB or whatever max GSO packet ever reached the
qdisc.
codel intent was to use MTU of the device.
After the fix, we finally drop some packets, and rtt/cwnd of my single
TCP flow are meeting our expectations.

This patch divides the IPv6 flow label space into two ranges:
0-7ffff is reserved for flow label manager, 80000-fffff will be
used for creating auto flow labels (per RFC6438). This only affects how
labels are set on transmit, it does not affect receive. This range split
can be disbaled by systcl.
Background:
IPv6 flow labels have been an unmitigated disappointment thus far
in the lifetime of IPv6. Support in HW devices to use them for ECMP
is lacking, and OSes don't turn them on by default. If we had these
we could get much better hashing in IPv6 networks without resorting
to DPI, possibly eliminating some of the motivations to to define new
encaps in UDP just for getting ECMP.
Unfortunately, the initial specfications of IPv6 did not clarify
how they are to be used. There has always been a vague concept that
these can be used for ECMP, flow hashing, etc. and we do now have a
good standard how to this in RFC6438. The problem is that flow labels
can be either stateful or stateless (as in RFC6438), and we are
presented with the possibility that a stateless label may collide
with a stateful one. Attempts to split the flow label space were
rejected in IETF. When we added support in Linux for RFC6438, we
could not turn on flow labels by default due to this conflict.
This patch splits the flow label space and should give us
a path to enabling auto flow labels by default for all IPv6 packets.
This is an API change so we need to consider compatibility with
existing deployment. The stateful range is chosen to be the lower
values in hopes that most uses would have chosen small numbers.
Once we resolve the stateless/stateful issue, we can proceed to
look at enabling RFC6438 flow labels by default (starting with
scaled testing).

inet_peer is indexed by the dst address alone. However, the fib6 tree
could have multiple routing entries (rt6_info) for the same dst. For
example,
1. A /128 dst via multiple gateways.
2. A RTF_CACHE route cloned from a /128 route.
In the above cases, all of them will share the same metrics and
step on each other.
This patch will steer away from inet_peer's metrics and use
dst_cow_metrics_generic() for everything.
Change Highlights:
1. Remove rt6_cow_metrics() which currently acquires metrics from
inet_peer for DST_HOST route (i.e. /128 route).
2. Add rt6i_pmtu to take care of the pmtu update to avoid creating a
full size metrics just to override the RTAX_MTU.
3. After (2), the RTF_CACHE route can also share the metrics with its
dst.from route, by:
dst_init_metrics(&cache_rt->dst, dst_metrics_ptr(cache_rt->dst.from), true);
4. Stop creating RTF_CACHE route by cloning another RTF_CACHE route. Instead,
directly clone from rt->dst.
[ Currently, cloning from another RTF_CACHE is only possible during
rt6_do_redirect(). Also, the old clone is removed from the tree
immediately after the new clone is added. ]
In case of cloning from an older redirect RTF_CACHE, it should work as
before.
In case of cloning from an older pmtu RTF_CACHE, this patch will forget
the pmtu and re-learn it (if there is any) from the redirected route.
The _rt6i_peer and DST_METRICS_FORCE_OVERWRITE will be removed
in the next cleanup patch.
