OVS vswitch has extended IPFIX exporter to export tunnel headers
to improve network visibility.
To export this information userspace needs to know egress tunnel
for given packet. By extending packet attributes datapath can
export egress tunnel info for given packet. So that userspace
can ask for egress tunnel info in userspace action. This
information is used to build IPFIX data for given flow.

Remove the dependency on the "warning" sysctl (net_msg_warn)
which is only used by the LIMIT_NETDEBUG macro.
Convert the LIMIT_NETDEBUG use in DCCP_WARN to the more
common net_warn_ratelimited mechanism.
This still ratelimits based on the net_ratelimit()
function, but removes the check for the sysctl.

As NIC multicast filtering isn't perfect, and some platforms are
quite content to spew broadcasts, we should not trigger an event
for skb:kfree_skb when we do not have a match for such an incoming
datagram. We do though want to avoid sweeping the matter under the
rug entirely, so increment a suitable statistic.
This incorporates feedback from David L. Stevens, Karl Neiss and Eric
Dumazet.

There is a kernel helper to dump buffers in a hexdecimal format. This patch
substitutes the open coded function by calling that helper.
The output is slightly changed:
- no lead space
- ASCII part will be printed along with the dump
- offset is longer than 3 characters (now 8)

Replace skb_copy_datagram_const_iovec with iterator version
This patch series adds the helper skb_copy_datagram_iter, which
is meant to replace both skb_copy_datagram_iovec and its evil
twin skb_copy_datagram_const_iovec.
It then converts tun and macvtap over to the new helper and finally
removes skb_copy_datagram_const_iovec which is only used by tun
and macvtap.
The copy_to_iter return value issue pointed out by Al has now been
fixed.

This patch adds skb_copy_datagram_iter, which is identical to
skb_copy_datagram_iovec except that it operates on iov_iter
instead of iovec.
Eventually all users of skb_copy_datagram_iovec should switch
over to iov_iter and then we can remove skb_copy_datagram_iovec.

Add definition to vxlan nla_policy for UDP checksum. This is necessary
to enable UDP checksums on VXLAN.
In some instances, enabling UDP checksums can improve performance on
receive for devices that return legacy checksum-unnecessary for UDP/IP.
Also, UDP checksum provides some protection against VNI corruption.
Testing:
Ran 200 instances of TCP_STREAM and TCP_RR on bnx2x.

amd-xgbe: AMD XGBE driver updates 2014-11-06
The following series of patches fixes a couple of bugs that slipped
through my last series.
- Free channel structure after freeing the per channel interrupts
- If an skb error allocation occurs during receive processing check
whether more descriptors are associated with the packet or whether
to start on a new packet
This patch series is based on net-next.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
If the skb allocation fails during receive processing, the driver would
continue reading descriptors without first determining if there were
any more descriptors for the current packet. Update the code to check
whether more descriptors are associated with the current packet or
whether to move on to the next descriptor as a new packet.

When events arrive at driver load, the event handler gets called even before

Signed-off-by: Eli Cohen <eli@mellanox.com>
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
After the EQ is created, it can possibly generate interrupts and the interrupt
handler is referencing eq->dev. It is therefore required to set eq->dev before
calling request_irq() so if an event is generated before request_irq() returns,
we will have a valid eq->dev field.
