The DRR scheduler requires that items on the active list are work
conserving, i.e. do not hold on to skbs for throttling purposes, etc.
Attaching e.g. tbf renders DRR useless because all other classes on the
active list are delayed as well.
So, warn users that this configuration won't work as expected; we
already do this in couple of other qdiscs, see e.g.
commit b00355db3f
('pkt_sched: sch_hfsc: sch_htb: Add non-work-conserving warning handler')
The 'const' change is needed to avoid compiler warning ("discards 'const'
qualifier from pointer target type").

net: Checksum offload changes - Part IV
I am working on overhauling RX checksum offload. Goals of this effort
are:
- Specify what exactly it means when driver returns CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
- Preserve CHECKSUM_COMPLETE through encapsulation layers
- Don't do skb_checksum more than once per packet
- Unify GRO and non-GRO csum verification as much as possible
- Unify the checksum functions (checksum_init)
- Simply code
What is in this fourth patch set:
- Preserve CHECKSUM_COMPLETE instead of changing it to
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. This allows correct reuse in validating multiple
csums in a packet.
- When SW needs to compute the packet checksum, save it as
CHECKSUM_COMPLETE. Also mark that checksum was compute by SW.
- Add skb_gro_postpull_rcsum to udp and vxlan to make GRO work with
CHECKSUM_COMPLETE.
v2: Removed patch setting skb_encapsulation when validating checksum
in tcp_gro_receive
Please review carefully and test if possible, mucking with basic
checksum functions is always a little precarious :-)

In skb_checksum complete, if we need to compute the checksum for the
packet (via skb_checksum) save the result as CHECKSUM_COMPLETE.
Subsequent checksum verification can use this.
Also, added csum_complete_sw flag to distinguish between software and
hardware generated checksum complete, we should always be able to trust
the software computation.

Currently when the first checksum in a packet is validated using
CHECKSUM_COMPLETE, ip_summed is overwritten to be CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
so that any subsequent checksums in the packet are not correctly
validated.
This patch adds csum_valid flag in sk_buff and uses that to indicate
validated checksum instead of setting CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. The bit
is set accordingly in the skb_checksum_validate_* functions. The flag
is checked in skb_checksum_complete, so that validation is communicated
between checksum_init and checksum_complete sequence in TCP and UDP.

Pre-allocate the physically contiguous DMA buffer used for
minidump collection at driver load time, rather than at
run time, to minimize allocation failures. Driver will allocate
the buffer at load time if PEX DMA support capability is indicated
by the adapter.

net/ipv4/ip_vti.c:447:24: expected restricted __be16 [usertype] i_flags
net/ipv4/ip_vti.c:447:24: got int
Since VTI_ISVTI is always used with ip_tunnel_parm->i_flags (which is __be16),
we can __force cast VTI_ISVTI to __be16 in header file.
