Add callbacks to calculate the size and fill link extended statistics
which can be split into multiple messages and are dumped via the new
rtnl stats API (RTM_GETSTATS) with the IFLA_STATS_LINK_XSTATS attribute.
Also add that attribute to the idx mask check since it is expected to
be able to save state and resume dumping (e.g. future bridge per-vlan
stats will be dumped via this attribute and callbacks).
Each link type should nest its private attributes under the per-link type
attribute. This allows to have any number of separated private attributes
and to avoid one call to get the dev link type.

The new prividx argument allows the current dumping device to save a
private state counter which would enable it to continue dumping from
where it left off. And the idxattr is used to save the current idx user
so multiple prividx using attributes can be requested at the same time
as suggested by Roopa Prabhu.

net: Cleanup IPv6 ip tunnels
The IPv6 tunnel code is very different from IPv4 code. There is a lot
of redundancy with the IPv4 code, particularly in the GRE tunneling.
This patch set cleans up the tunnel code to make the IPv6 code look
more like the IPv4 code and use common functions between the two
stacks where possible.
This work should make it easier to maintain and extend the IPv6 ip
tunnels.
Items in this patch set:
- Cleanup IPv6 tunnel receive path (ip6_tnl_rcv). Includes using
gro_cells and exporting ip6_tnl_rcv so the ip6_gre can call it
- Move GRE functions to common header file (tx functions) or
gre_demux.c (rx functions like gre_parse_header)
- Call common GRE functions from IPv6 GRE
- Create ip6_tnl_xmit (to be like ip_tunnel_xmit)
Tested:
Ran super_netperf tests for TCP_RR and TCP_STREAM for:
- IPv4 over gre, gretap, gre6, gre6tap
- IPv6 over gre, gretap, gre6, gre6tap
- ipip
- ip6ip6
- ipip/gue
- IPv6 over gre/gue
- IPv4 over gre/gue

Several of the GRE functions defined in net/ipv4/ip_gre.c are usable
for IPv6 GRE implementation (that is they are protocol agnostic).
These include:
- GRE flag handling functions are move to gre.h
- GRE build_header is moved to gre.h and renamed gre_build_header
- parse_gre_header is moved to gre_demux.c and renamed gre_parse_header
- iptunnel_pull_header is taken out of gre_parse_header. This is now
done by caller. The header length is returned from gre_parse_header
in an int* argument.

- Make ip6_tnl_rcv non-static and export it

net: make TCP preemptible
Most of TCP stack assumed it was running from BH handler.
This is great for most things, as TCP behavior is very sensitive
to scheduling artifacts.
However, the prequeue and backlog processing are problematic,
as they need to be flushed with BH being blocked.
To cope with modern needs, TCP sockets have big sk_rcvbuf values,
in the order of 16 MB, and soon 32 MB.
This means that backlog can hold thousands of packets, and things
like TCP coalescing or collapsing on this amount of packets can
lead to insane latency spikes, since BH are blocked for too long.
It is time to make UDP/TCP stacks preemptible.
Note that fast path still runs from BH handler.
v2: Added "tcp: make tcp_sendmsg() aware of socket backlog"
to reduce latency problems of large sends.
v3: Fixed a typo in tcp_cdg.c
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Large sendmsg()/write() hold socket lock for the duration of the call,
unless sk->sk_sndbuf limit is hit. This is bad because incoming packets
are parked into socket backlog for a long time.
Critical decisions like fast retransmit might be delayed.
Receivers have to maintain a big out of order queue with additional cpu
overhead, and also possible stalls in TX once windows are full.
Bidirectional flows are particularly hurt since the backlog can become
quite big if the copy from user space triggers IO (page faults)
Some applications learnt to use sendmsg() (or sendmmsg()) with small
chunks to avoid this issue.
Kernel should know better, right ?
Add a generic sk_flush_backlog() helper and use it right
before a new skb is allocated. Typically we put 64KB of payload
per skb (unless MSG_EOR is requested) and checking socket backlog
every 64KB gives good results.
As a matter of fact, tests with TSO/GSO disabled give very nice
results, as we manage to keep a small write queue and smaller
perceived rtt.
Note that sk_flush_backlog() maintains socket ownership,
so is not equivalent to a {release_sock(sk); lock_sock(sk);},
to ensure implicit atomicity rules that sendmsg() was
giving to (possibly buggy) applications.
In this simple implementation, I chose to not call tcp_release_cb(),
but we might consider this later.

Socket backlog processing is a major latency source.
With current TCP socket sk_rcvbuf limits, I have sampled __release_sock()
holding cpu for more than 5 ms, and packets being dropped by the NIC
once ring buffer is filled.
All users are now ready to be called from process context,
we can unblock BH and let interrupts be serviced faster.
cond_resched_softirq() could be removed, as it has no more user.

AFAIK, nothing in current TCP stack absolutely wants BH
being disabled once socket is owned by a thread running in
process context.
As mentioned in my prior patch ("tcp: give prequeue mode some care"),
processing a batch of packets might take time, better not block BH
at all.

We want to to make TCP stack preemptible, as draining prequeue
and backlog queues can take lot of time.
Many SNMP updates were assuming that BH (and preemption) was disabled.
Need to convert some __NET_INC_STATS() calls to NET_INC_STATS()
and some __TCP_INC_STATS() to TCP_INC_STATS()
Before using this_cpu_ptr(net->ipv4.tcp_sk) in tcp_v4_send_reset()
and tcp_v4_send_ack(), we add an explicit preempt disabled section.
