Add a comment to explain why we're not disabling port's multicast when it
goes in blocking state. Since there's a check in the timer's function which
bypasses the timer if the port's in blocking/disabled state, the timer will
simply expire and stop without sending more queries.

For AF_INET6 sockets, the value of struct ipv6_pinfo.ipv6only is
exported to userspace. It indicates whether a socket bound to in6addr_any
listens on IPv4 as well as IPv6. Since the socket is natively IPv6, it is not
listed by e.g. 'ss -l -4'.
This patch is accompanied by an appropriate one for iproute2 to enable
the additional information in 'ss -e'.

Current implementation of descriptor init procedure only takes
care about setting/clearing ownership flag in "des0"/"des1"
fields while it is perfectly possible to get unexpected bits
set because of the following factors:
[1] On driver probe underlying memory allocated with
dma_alloc_coherent() might not be zeroed and so
it will be filled with garbage.
[2] During driver operation some bits could be set by SD/MMC
controller (for example error flags etc).
And unexpected and/or randomly set flags in "des0"/"des1"
fields may lead to unpredictable behavior of GMAC DMA block.
This change addresses both items above with:
[1] Use of dma_zalloc_coherent() instead of simple
dma_alloc_coherent() to make sure allocated memory is
zeroed. That shouldn't affect performance because
this allocation only happens once on driver probe.
[2] Do explicit zeroing of both "des0" and "des1" fields
of all buffer descriptors during initialization of
DMA transfer.
And while at it fixed identation of dma_free_coherent()
counterpart as well.

====================
changes to make ipv4 routing table aware of next-hop link status
This series adds the ability to have the Linux kernel track whether or
not a particular route should be used based on the link-status of the
interface associated with the next-hop.
Before this patch any link-failure on an interface that was serving as a
gateway for some systems could result in those systems being isolated
from the rest of the network as the stack would continue to attempt to
send frames out of an interface that is actually linked-down. When the
kernel is responsible for all forwarding, it should also be responsible
for taking action when the traffic can no longer be forwarded -- there
is no real need to outsource link-monitoring to userspace anymore.
This feature is only enabled with the new per-interface or ipv4 global
sysctls called 'ignore_routes_with_linkdown'.
net.ipv4.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
net.ipv4.conf.lo.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
...
When the above sysctls are set, the kernel will not only report to
userspace that the link is down, but it will also report to userspace
that a route is dead. This will signal to userspace that the route will
not be selected.
With the new sysctls set, the following behavior can be observed
(interface p8p1 is link-down):
default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1
10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15
70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1
80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1 dead linkdown
90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1 dead linkdown
90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2
90.0.0.1 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 src 70.0.0.1
cache
local 80.0.0.1 dev lo src 80.0.0.1
cache <local>
80.0.0.2 via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 src 10.0.5.15
cache
While the route does remain in the table (so it can be modified if
needed rather than being wiped away as it would be if IFF_UP was
cleared), the proper next-hop is chosen automatically when the link is
down. Now interface p8p1 is linked-up:
default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1
10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15
70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1
80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1
90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1
90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2
192.168.56.0/24 dev p2p1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.56.2
90.0.0.1 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 src 80.0.0.1
cache
local 80.0.0.1 dev lo src 80.0.0.1
cache <local>
80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 src 80.0.0.1
cache
and the output changes to what one would expect.
If the global or interface sysctl is not set, the following output would
be expected when p8p1 is down:
default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1
10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15
70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1
80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1 linkdown
90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1 linkdown
90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2
If the dead flag does not appear there should be no expectation that the
kernel would skip using this route due to link being down.
v2: Split kernel changes into 2 patches: first to add linkdown flag and
second to add new sysctl settings. Also took suggestion from Alex to
simplify code by only checking sysctl during fib lookup and suggestion
from Scott to add a per-interface sysctl. Added iproute2 patch to
recognize and print linkdown flag.
v3: Code cleanups along with reverse-path checks suggested by Alex and
small fixes related to problems found when multipath was disabled.
v4: Drop binary sysctls
v5: Whitespace and variable declaration fixups suggested by Dave
v6: Style changes noticed by Dave and checkpath suggestions.
v7: Last checkpatch fixup.
Though there were some that preferred not to have a configuration option
and to make this behavior the default when it was discussed in Ottawa
earlier this year since "it was time to do this." I wanted to propose
the config option to preserve the current behavior for those that desire
it. I'll happily remove it if Dave and Linus approve.
An IPv6 implementation is also needed (DECnet too!), but I wanted to
start with the IPv4 implementation to get people comfortable with the
idea before moving forward. If this is accepted the IPv6 implementation
can be posted shortly.
There was also a request for switchdev support for this, but that will
be posted as a followup as switchdev does not currently handle dead
next-hops in a multi-path case and I felt that infra needed to be added
first.
FWIW, we have been running the original version of this series with a
global sysctl and our customers have been happily using a backported
version for IPv4 and IPv6 for >6 months.

When the above sysctls are set, will report to userspace that a route is
dead and will no longer resolve to this nexthop when performing a fib
lookup. This will signal to userspace that the route will not be
selected. The signalling of a RTNH_F_DEAD is only passed to userspace
if the sysctl is enabled and link is down. This was done as without it
the netlink listeners would have no idea whether or not a nexthop would
be selected. The kernel only sets RTNH_F_DEAD internally if the
interface has IFF_UP cleared.
With the new sysctl set, the following behavior can be observed
(interface p8p1 is link-down):
default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1
10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15

80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 src 80.0.0.1

and the output changes to what one would expect.
If the sysctl is not set, the following output would be expected when
p8p1 is down:

90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2
Since the dead flag does not appear, there should be no expectation that
the kernel would skip using this route due to link being down.

Add a fib flag called RTNH_F_LINKDOWN to any ipv4 nexthops that are
reachable via an interface where carrier is off. No action is taken,
but additional flags are passed to userspace to indicate carrier status.
This also includes a cleanup to fib_disable_ip to more clearly indicate
what event made the function call to replace the more cryptic force
option previously used.
v2: Split out kernel functionality into 2 patches, this patch simply
sets and clears new nexthop flag RTNH_F_LINKDOWN.
v3: Cleanups suggested by Alex as well as a bug noticed in
fib_sync_down_dev and fib_sync_up when multipath was not enabled.
v5: Whitespace and variable declaration fixups suggested by Dave.

This bug pops up with NetworkManager on Fedora 21. NetworkManager tends to
stop the interface (nicvf_stop() is called) before changing settings. In
stopped state MAC cannot be sent to a PF. However, when the interface is
restarted (nicvf_open() is called), we ping the PF using NIC_MBOX_MSG_READY
message, and the PF replies back with old MAC address, overriding what we
had after MAC setting from userspace. As a result, we cannot set MAC
address using NetworkManager.
This patch introduces special tracking of MAC change in stopped state so
that the correct new MAC address is sent to a PF when interface is reopen.

In order to save PCI BW consumed by TX CQEs and to reduce the amount of
CPU cache misses caused by TX CQE reading, we request TX CQE generation
only when skb->xmit_more=0.
As a consequence of the above, a single TX CQE may now indicate the
transmission completion of multiple TX SKBs.
This also handles a problem introduced in commit b1b8105ebf41 "net/mlx5e:
Support NETIF_F_SG" where we didn't ask for NOP completions while the
driver didn't have the proper code to handle this case.

To save per-packet calculations, we use the following static mappings:
1) priv {channel, tc} to netdev txq (used @mlx5e_selec_queue())
2) netdev txq to priv sq (used @mlx5e_xmit())
Thanks to these static mappings, no more need for a separate implementation
of ndo_start_xmit when multiple TCs are configured.
We believe the performance improvement of such separation would be negligible, if any.
The previous way of dynamically calculating the above mappings required
allocating more TX queues than actually used (@alloc_etherdev_mqs()),
which is now no longer needed.
