This patch flips the logic we were using to determine if the busy polling
has timed out. The main motivation for this is that we will need to
support two different possible timeout values in the future and by
recording the start time rather than when we would want to end we can focus
on making the end_time specific to the task be it epoll or socket based
polling.

checking the return value of sk_busy_loop. As there are only a few
consumers of that data, and the data being checked for can be replaced
with a check for !skb_queue_empty() we might as well just pull the code
out of sk_busy_loop and place it in the spots that actually need it.

Instead of defining two versions of skb_mark_napi_id I think it is more
readable to just match the format of the sk_mark_napi_id functions and just
wrap the contents of the function instead of defining two versions of the
function. This way we can save a few lines of code since we only need 2 of
the ifdef/endif but needed 5 for the extra function declaration.

While working on some recent busy poll changes we found that child sockets
were being instantiated without NAPI ID being set. In our first attempt to
fix it, it was suggested that we should just pull programming the NAPI ID
into the function itself since all callers will need to have it set.
In addition to the NAPI ID change I have dropped the code that was
populating the Rx hash since it was actually being populated in
tcp_get_cookie_sock.

This patch is a cleanup/fix for NAPI IDs following the changes that made it
so that sender_cpu and napi_id were doing a better job of sharing the same
location in the sk_buff.
One issue I found is that we weren't validating the napi_id as being valid
before we started trying to setup the busy polling. This change corrects
that by using the MIN_NAPI_ID value that is now used in both allocating the
NAPI IDs, as well as validating them.

Mellanox mlx5e XDP performance optimization
This series provides some preformancee optimizations for mlx5e
driver, especially for XDP TX flows.
1st patch is a simple change of rmb to dma_rmb in CQE fetch routine
which shows a huge gain for both RX and TX packet rates.
2nd patch removes write combining logic from the driver TX handler
and simplifies the TX logic while improving TX CPU utilization.
All other patches combined provide some refactoring to the driver TX
flows to allow some significant XDP TX improvements.
More details and performance numbers per patch can be found in each patch
commit message compared to the preceding patch.

XDP SQ has a fixed size WQE (MLX5E_XDP_TX_WQEBBS = 1) and only posts
one kind of WQE (MLX5_OPCODE_SEND),
Also we initialize SQ descriptors static fields once on open_xdpsq,
rather than every time on critical path.

To insert or encapsulate a packet with an SRH, we need a large enough skb
headroom. Currently, we are using pskb_expand_head to inconditionally increase
the size of the headroom by the amount needed by the SRH (and IPv6 header).
If this reallocation is performed by another CPU than the one that initially
allocated the skb, then when the initial CPU kfree the skb, it will enter the
__slab_free slowpath, impacting performances.
This patch replaces pskb_expand_head with skb_cow_head, that will reallocate the
skb head only if the headroom is not large enough.

40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-03-23
This series contains updates to i40e and i40e.txt documentation.
Jake provides all the changes in the series which are centered around
ntuple filter fixes and additional support. Fixed the current
implementation of .set_rxnfc, where we were not reading the mask field
for filter entries which was resulting in filters not behaving as
expected and not working correctly. When cleaning up after disabling
flow director support, ensure that the default input set is correctly
reprogrammed. Since the hardware only supports a single input set for
all flows of that type, the driver shall only allow the input set to
change if there are no other configured filters for that flow type, so
add support to detect when we can update the input set for each flow
type. Align the driver to other drivers to partition the ring_cookie
value into 8bits of VF index, along with 32bits of queue number instead
of using the user-def field. Added support to parse the user-def field
into a data structure format to allow future extensions of the user-def
filed by keeping all the code that read/writes the field into a single
location. Added support for flexible payloads passed via ethtool
user-def field. We support a single flexible word (2byte) value per
protocol type, and we handle the FLX_PIT register using a list of
flexible entries so that each flow type may be configured separately.
Enabled flow director filters for SCTPv4 packets using the ethtool
ntuple interface to enable filters. Updated the documentation on the
i40e driver to include the newly added support to ntuple filters.
Reduced complexity of a if-continue-else-break section of code by
taking advantage of using hlist_for_each_entry_continue() instead.

Because sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale could be changed any time, so there
is one race in tcp_win_from_space.
For example,
1.sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale<=0 (sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale is negative now)
2.space>>(-sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale) (sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale is postive now)
As a result, tcp_win_from_space returns 0. It is unexpected.
Certainly if the compiler put the sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale into one
register firstly, then use the register directly, it would be ok.
But we could not depend on the compiler behavior.

The PF driver is incorrectly resetting Octeon when the module parameter

firmware to the NIC because Octeon is already running preloaded firmware.
Fix it by putting an if (fw_type != none) around the reset code.
Because the Octeon reset is now conditionally gone, when unloading the
driver, conditionally send the RESET_PF command to the firmware who will
then free up PF-related data structures.

Certain system process significant unconnected UDP workload.
It would be preferrable to disable UDP early demux for those systems

By disabling UDP demux, we see these slight gains on an ARM64 system-
782 -> 788Mbps unconnected single stream UDPv4
633 -> 654Mbps unconnected UDPv4 different sources
The performance impact can change based on CPU architecure and cache
sizes. There will not much difference seen if entire UDP hash table
is in cache.
Both sysctls are enabled by default to preserve existing behavior.

Introduce a new configuration symbol: MDIO_DEVICE which allows building
the MDIO devices and bus code, without pulling in the entire Ethernet
PHY library and devices code.
PHYLIB nows select MDIO_DEVICE and the relevant Makefile files are
updated to reflect that.
When MDIO_DEVICE (MDIO bus/device only) is selected, but not PHYLIB, we
have mdio-bus.ko as a loadable module, and it does not have a
module_exit() function because the safety of removing a bus class is
unclear.
When both MDIO_DEVICE and PHYLIB are enabled, we need to assemble
everything into a common loadable module: libphy.ko because of nasty
circular dependencies between phy.c, phy_device.c and mdio_bus.c which
are really tough to untangle.

So on dwmac4, the MAC RX/TX is never disabled.
This patch add a generic function pointer set_mac() to stmmac_ops and
replace all call to stmmac_set_mac/stmmac_dwmac4_set_mac by a call to
this pointer.
Since dwmac4_ops is const, set_mac cannot be modified after, and so dwmac4_ops
is duplioacted like dwmac4_dma_ops.

Use setup_timer() instead of init_timer() to simplify the code.

====================
net: bridge: allow user-space to add ext learned entries
This set adds the ability to add externally learned entries from
user-space. For symmetry and proper function we need to allow SW entries
to take over HW learned ones (similar to how HW can take over SW entries
currently) which is needed for our use case (evpn) where we have pure SW
ports and HW ports mixed in a single bridge. This does not play well with
switchdev devices currently because there's no feedback when the entry is
taken over, but this case has never worked anyway and feedback can be
easily added when needed.
Patch 02 simply allows to use NTF_EXT_LEARNED from user-space, we already
have Quagga patches that make use of this functionality.

The NTF_EXT_LEARNED flag was added for switchdev and externally learned
entries, but it can also be used for entries learned via a software
in user-space which requires dynamic entries that do not expire.
One such case that we have is with quagga and evpn which need dynamic
entries but also require to age them themselves.

Allow to take over an entry which was previously learned via HW when it
shows up from a SW port. This is analogous to how HW takes over SW learned
entries already.

We don't use it during development and we can't extend it either, so
remove it.
