The code used to call napi_disable() in an interrupt handler
(from smp_call_function), which in turn could call msleep().
Unfortunately you can't sleep in an interrupt context.
Luckily it turns out all the NAPI support functions are
just operating on data structures and not on any deeply
per-cpu data, so we can arrange to set up and tear down all
the NAPI state on the core driving the process, and just
do the IRQ enable/disable as a smp_call_function thing.

This change allows the user to configure various features of the tile
networking drivers on and off. There is no change to the default
initialization state of either the tilegx or tilepro drivers.
Neither driver needs the ndo_fix_features or ndo_set_features callbacks,
since the generic code already handles the dependencies for
fix_features, and there is no hardware state to tweak in set_features.

grp->grp_id is obsolete. It has no use in the current driver.
Remove it from gfar_priv_grp and put the 'rstat' member
in its place, in the 2nd cache line, as rstat needs fast access.

David suggested to add a BUG_ON() to catch if some layer
sets skb->sk pointer without a corresponding destructor.
As skb can sit in a queue, it's mandatory to make sure the
socket cannot disappear, and it's usually done by taking a
reference on the socket, then releasing it from the skb
destructor.
This patch is a follow-up to commit c34a761231
("net: skb_orphan() changes") and will be reverted after
catching all possible offenders if any.

With the addition of the suppress operation
(7764a45a8f ("fib_rules: add .suppress
operation") we rely on accurate error reporting of the fib_rules.actions.
fib6_rule_action always returned -EAGAIN in case we could not find a
matching route and 0 if a rule was matched. This also included a match
for blackhole or prohibited rule actions which could get suppressed by
the new logic.
So adapt fib6_rule_action to always return the correct error code as
its counterpart fib4_rule_action does. This also fixes a possiblity of
nullptr-deref where we don't find a table, thus rt == NULL. Because
the condition rt != ip6_null_entry still holdes it seems we could later
get a nullptr bug on dereference rt->dst.
v2:
a) Fixed a brain fart in the commit msg (the rule => a table, etc). No
changes to the patch.

The content is meant to capture specific items that are unique
to netdev workflow, and not re-document generic linux expectations
that are already captured elsewhere.
This was originally proposed[1] as a regular posting mailing list

This change adds a new operation to the fib_rules_ops struct; it allows the
suppression of routing decisions if certain criteria are not met by its
results.
The first implemented constraint is a minimum prefix length added to the
structures of routing rules. If a rule is added with a minimum prefix length
>0, only routes meeting this threshold will be considered. Any other (more
general) routing table entries will be ignored.
When configuring a system with multiple network uplinks and default routes, it
is often convinient to reference the main routing table multiple times - but
omitting the default route. Using this patch and a modified "ip" utility, this
can be achieved by using the following command sequence:
$ ip route add table secuplink default via 10.42.23.1
$ ip rule add pref 100 table main prefixlength 1
$ ip rule add pref 150 fwmark 0xA table secuplink
With this setup, packets marked 0xA will be processed by the additional routing
table "secuplink", but only if no suitable route in the main routing table can
be found. By using a minimal prefixlength of 1, the default route (/0) of the
table "main" is hidden to packets processed by rule 100; packets traveling to
destinations with more specific routing entries are processed as usual.

Its therefore safe for skb_orphan() to not clear skb->sk if

Commit 547669d483 ("tcp: xps: fix reordering issues") added
unexpected reorders in case netem is used in a MQ setup for high
performance test bed.
ETH=eth0
tc qd del dev $ETH root 2>/dev/null
tc qd add dev $ETH root handle 1: mq
for i in `seq 1 32`
do
tc qd add dev $ETH parent 1:$i netem delay 100ms
done
As all tcp packets are orphaned by netem, TCP stack believes it can
set skb->ooo_okay on all packets.
In order to allow producers to send more packets, we want to
keep sk_wmem_alloc from reaching sk_sndbuf limit.
We can do that by accounting one byte per skb in netem queues,
so that TCP stack is not fooled too much.
Tested:
With above MQ/netem setup, scaling number of concurrent flows gives
linear results and no reorders/retransmits

Current net name space has only one genid for both IPv4 and IPv6, it has below
drawbacks:
- Add/delete an IPv4 address will invalidate all IPv6 routing table entries.
- Insert/remove XFRM policy will also invalidate both IPv4/IPv6 routing table
entries even when the policy is only applied for one address family.
Thus, this patch attempt to split one genid for two to cater for IPv4 and IPv6
separately in a fine granularity.
