Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next
Pull networking updates from David Miller: Changes of note: 1) Allow to schedule ICMP packets in IPVS, from Alex Gartrell. 2) Provide FIB table ID in ipv4 route dumps just as ipv6 does, from David Ahern. 3) Allow the user to ask for the statistics to be filtered out of ipv4/ipv6 address netlink dumps. From Sowmini Varadhan. 4) More work to pass the network namespace context around deep into various packet path APIs, starting with the netfilter hooks. From Eric W Biederman. 5) Add layer 2 TX/RX checksum offloading to qeth driver, from Thomas Richter. 6) Use usec resolution for SYN/ACK RTTs in TCP, from Yuchung Cheng. 7) Support Very High Throughput in wireless MESH code, from Bob Copeland. 8) Allow setting the ageing_time in switchdev/rocker. From Scott Feldman. 9) Properly autoload L2TP type modules, from Stephen Hemminger. 10) Fix and enable offload features by default in 8139cp driver, from David Woodhouse. 11) Support both ipv4 and ipv6 sockets in a single vxlan device, from Jiri Benc. 12) Fix CWND limiting of thin streams in TCP, from Bendik Rønning Opstad. 13) Fix IPSEC flowcache overflows on large systems, from Steffen Klassert. 14) Convert bridging to track VLANs using rhashtable entries rather than a bitmap. From Nikolay Aleksandrov. 15) Make TCP listener handling completely lockless, this is a major accomplishment. Incoming request sockets now live in the established hash table just like any other socket too. From Eric Dumazet. 15) Provide more bridging attributes to netlink, from Nikolay Aleksandrov. 16) Use hash based algorithm for ipv4 multipath routing, this was very long overdue. From Peter Nørlund. 17) Several y2038 cures, mostly avoiding timespec. From Arnd Bergmann. 18) Allow non-root execution of EBPF programs, from Alexei Starovoitov. 19) Support SO_INCOMING_CPU as setsockopt, from Eric Dumazet. This influences the port binding selection logic used by SO_REUSEPORT. 20) Add ipv6 support to VRF, from David Ahern. 21) Add support for Mellanox Spectrum switch ASIC, from Jiri Pirko. 22) Add rtl8xxxu Realtek wireless driver, from Jes Sorensen. 23) Implement RACK loss recovery in TCP, from Yuchung Cheng. 24) Support multipath routes in MPLS, from Roopa Prabhu. 25) Fix POLLOUT notification for listening sockets in AF_UNIX, from Eric Dumazet. 26) Add new QED Qlogic river, from Yuval Mintz, Manish Chopra, and Sudarsana Kalluru. 27) Don't fetch timestamps on AF_UNIX sockets, from Hannes Frederic Sowa. 28) Support ipv6 geneve tunnels, from John W Linville. 29) Add flood control support to switchdev layer, from Ido Schimmel. 30) Fix CHECKSUM_PARTIAL handling of potentially fragmented frames, from Hannes Frederic Sowa. 31) Support persistent maps and progs in bpf, from Daniel Borkmann. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1790 commits) sh_eth: use DMA barriers switchdev: respect SKIP_EOPNOTSUPP flag in case there is no recursion net: sched: kill dead code in sch_choke.c irda: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "irlmp_unregister_service" net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: include DSA ports in VLANs net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: disable SA learning for DSA and CPU ports net/core: fix for_each_netdev_feature vlan: Invoke driver vlan hooks only if device is present arcnet/com20020: add LEDS_CLASS dependency bpf, verifier: annotate verbose printer with __printf dp83640: Only wait for timestamps for packets with timestamping enabled. ptp: Change ptp_class to a proper bitmask dp83640: Prune rx timestamp list before reading from it dp83640: Delay scheduled work. dp83640: Include hash in timestamp/packet matching ipv6: fix tunnel error handling net/mlx5e: Fix LSO vlan insertion net/mlx5e: Re-eanble client vlan TX acceleration net/mlx5e: Return error in case mlx5e_set_features() fails net/mlx5e: Don't allow more than max supported channels ...

+################################################################################
+
+Using iproute2 for VRFs
+=======================
+VRF devices do *not* have to start with 'vrf-'. That is a convention used here
+for emphasis of the device type, similar to use of 'br' in bridge names.
+
+1. Create a VRF
+
+ To instantiate a VRF device and associate it with a table:
+ $ ip link add dev NAME type vrf table ID
+
+ Remember to add the ip rules as well:
+ $ ip ru add oif NAME table 10
+ $ ip ru add iif NAME table 10
+ $ ip -6 ru add oif NAME table 10
+ $ ip -6 ru add iif NAME table 10
+
+ Without the rules route lookups are not directed to the table.
+
+ For example:
+ $ ip link add dev vrf-blue type vrf table 10
+ $ ip ru add pref 200 oif vrf-blue table 10
+ $ ip ru add pref 200 iif vrf-blue table 10
+ $ ip -6 ru add pref 200 oif vrf-blue table 10
+ $ ip -6 ru add pref 200 iif vrf-blue table 10
+
+
+2. List VRFs
+
+ To list VRFs that have been created:
+ $ ip [-d] link show type vrf
+ NOTE: The -d option is needed to show the table id
+
+ For example:
+ $ ip -d link show type vrf
+ 11: vrf-mgmt: <NOARP,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
+ link/ether 72:b3:ba:91:e2:24 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff promiscuity 0
+ vrf table 1 addrgenmode eui64
+ 12: vrf-red: <NOARP,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
+ link/ether b6:6f:6e:f6:da:73 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff promiscuity 0
+ vrf table 10 addrgenmode eui64
+ 13: vrf-blue: <NOARP,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
+ link/ether 36:62:e8:7d:bb:8c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff promiscuity 0
+ vrf table 66 addrgenmode eui64
+ 14: vrf-green: <NOARP,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
+ link/ether e6:28:b8:63:70:bb brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff promiscuity 0
+ vrf table 81 addrgenmode eui64
+
+
+ Or in brief output:
+
+ $ ip -br link show type vrf
+ vrf-mgmt UP 72:b3:ba:91:e2:24 <NOARP,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP>
+ vrf-red UP b6:6f:6e:f6:da:73 <NOARP,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP>
+ vrf-blue UP 36:62:e8:7d:bb:8c <NOARP,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP>
+ vrf-green UP e6:28:b8:63:70:bb <NOARP,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP>
+
+
+3. Assign a Network Interface to a VRF
+
+ Network interfaces are assigned to a VRF by enslaving the netdevice to a
+ VRF device:
+ $ ip link set dev NAME master VRF-NAME
+
+ On enslavement connected and local routes are automatically moved to the
+ table associated with the VRF device.
+
+ For example:
+ $ ip link set dev eth0 master vrf-mgmt
+
+
+4. Show Devices Assigned to a VRF
+
+ To show devices that have been assigned to a specific VRF add the master
+ option to the ip command:
+ $ ip link show master VRF-NAME
+
+ For example:
+ $ ip link show master vrf-red
+ 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master vrf-red state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
+ link/ether 02:00:00:00:02:02 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

+ eth1 UP 02:00:00:00:02:02 <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP>
+ eth2 UP 02:00:00:00:02:03 <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP>
+ eth5 DOWN 02:00:00:00:02:06 <BROADCAST,MULTICAST>
+
+
+5. Show Neighbor Entries for a VRF
+
+ To list neighbor entries associated with devices enslaved to a VRF device
+ add the master option to the ip command:
+ $ ip [-6] neigh show master VRF-NAME
+
+ For example:
+ $ ip neigh show master vrf-red
+ 10.2.1.254 dev eth1 lladdr a6:d9:c7:4f:06:23 REACHABLE
+ 10.2.2.254 dev eth2 lladdr 5e:54:01:6a:ee:80 REACHABLE
+
+ $ ip -6 neigh show master vrf-red
+ 2002:1::64 dev eth1 lladdr a6:d9:c7:4f:06:23 REACHABLE
+
+
+6. Show Addresses for a VRF
+
+ To show addresses for interfaces associated with a VRF add the master
+ option to the ip command:
+ $ ip addr show master VRF-NAME
+
+ For example:
+ $ ip addr show master vrf-red
+ 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master vrf-red state UP group default qlen 1000
+ link/ether 02:00:00:00:02:02 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
+ inet 10.2.1.2/24 brd 10.2.1.255 scope global eth1
+ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+ inet6 2002:1::2/120 scope global
+ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+ inet6 fe80::ff:fe00:202/64 scope link
+ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+ 4: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master vrf-red state UP group default qlen 1000
+ link/ether 02:00:00:00:02:03 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
+ inet 10.2.2.2/24 brd 10.2.2.255 scope global eth2
+ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+ inet6 2002:2::2/120 scope global
+ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+ inet6 fe80::ff:fe00:203/64 scope link
+ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+ 7: eth5: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop master vrf-red state DOWN group default qlen 1000
+ link/ether 02:00:00:00:02:06 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
+
+ Or in brief format:
+ $ ip -br addr show master vrf-red
+ eth1 UP 10.2.1.2/24 2002:1::2/120 fe80::ff:fe00:202/64
+ eth2 UP 10.2.2.2/24 2002:2::2/120 fe80::ff:fe00:203/64
+ eth5 DOWN
+
+
+7. Show Routes for a VRF
+
+ To show routes for a VRF use the ip command to display the table associated
+ with the VRF device:
+ $ ip [-6] route show table ID
+
+ For example:
+ $ ip route show table vrf-red
+ prohibit default
+ broadcast 10.2.1.0 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.2.1.2
+ 10.2.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.2.1.2
+ local 10.2.1.2 dev eth1 proto kernel scope host src 10.2.1.2
+ broadcast 10.2.1.255 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.2.1.2
+ broadcast 10.2.2.0 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 10.2.2.2
+ 10.2.2.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 10.2.2.2
+ local 10.2.2.2 dev eth2 proto kernel scope host src 10.2.2.2
+ broadcast 10.2.2.255 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 10.2.2.2
+
+ $ ip -6 route show table vrf-red
+ local 2002:1:: dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium
+ local 2002:1::2 dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium
+ 2002:1::/120 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
+ local 2002:2:: dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium
+ local 2002:2::2 dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium
+ 2002:2::/120 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
+ local fe80:: dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium
+ local fe80:: dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium
+ local fe80::ff:fe00:202 dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium
+ local fe80::ff:fe00:203 dev lo proto none metric 0 pref medium
+ fe80::/64 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
+ fe80::/64 dev eth2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
+ ff00::/8 dev vrf-red metric 256 pref medium
+ ff00::/8 dev eth1 metric 256 pref medium
+ ff00::/8 dev eth2 metric 256 pref medium
+
+
+8. Route Lookup for a VRF
+
+ A test route lookup can be done for a VRF by adding the oif option to ip:
+ $ ip [-6] route get oif VRF-NAME ADDRESS
+
+ For example:
+ $ ip route get 10.2.1.40 oif vrf-red
+ 10.2.1.40 dev eth1 table vrf-red src 10.2.1.2
+ cache
+
+ $ ip -6 route get 2002:1::32 oif vrf-red
+ 2002:1::32 from :: dev eth1 table vrf-red proto kernel src 2002:1::2 metric 256 pref medium
+
+
+9. Removing Network Interface from a VRF
+
+ Network interfaces are removed from a VRF by breaking the enslavement to
+ the VRF device:
+ $ ip link set dev NAME nomaster
+
+ Connected routes are moved back to the default table and local entries are
+ moved to the local table.
+
+ For example:
+ $ ip link set dev eth0 nomaster
