TX checksum offload applies to TCP / UDP packets which are not
fragmented using the MAPv4 checksum trailer. The following needs to be
done to have checksum computed in hardware -
1. Set the checksum start offset and inset offset.
2. Set the csum_enabled bit
3. Compute and set 1's complement of partial checksum field in
transport header.

When using the MAPv4 packet format, receive checksum offload can be
enabled in hardware. The checksum computation over pseudo header is
not offloaded but the rest of the checksum computation over
the payload is offloaded. This applies only for TCP / UDP packets
which are not fragmented.
rmnet validates the TCP/UDP checksum for the packet using the checksum
from the checksum trailer added to the packet by hardware. The
validation performed is as following -
1. Perform 1's complement over the checksum value from the trailer
2. Compute 1's complement checksum over IPv4 / IPv6 header and
subtracts it from the value from step 1
3. Computes 1's complement checksum over IPv4 / IPv6 pseudo header and
adds it to the value from step 2
4. Subtracts the checksum value from the TCP / UDP header from the
value from step 3.
5. Compares the value from step 4 to the checksum value from the
TCP / UDP header.
6. If the comparison in step 5 succeeds, CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY is set
and the packet is passed on to network stack. If there is a
failure, then the packet is passed on as such without modifying
the ip_summed field.
The checksum field is also checked for UDP checksum 0 as per RFC 768
and for unexpected TCP checksum of 0.
If checksum offload is disabled when using MAPv4 packet format in
receive path, the packet is queued as is to network stack without
the validations above.

The MAPv4 packet format adds support for RX / TX checksum offload.
For a bi-directional UDP stream at a rate of 570 / 146 Mbps, roughly
10% CPU cycles are saved.
For receive path, there is a checksum trailer appended to the end of
the MAP packet. The valid field indicates if hardware has computed
the checksum. csum_start_offset indicates the offset from the start
of the IP header from which hardware has computed checksum.
csum_length is the number of bytes over which the checksum was
computed and the resulting value is csum_value.
In the transmit path, a header is appended between the end of the MAP
header and the start of the IP packet. csum_start_offset is the offset
in bytes from which hardware will compute the checksum if the
csum_enabled bit is set. udp_ip4_ind indicates if the checksum
value of 0 is valid or not. csum_insert_offset is the offset from the
csum_start_offset where hardware will insert the computed checksum.
The use of this additional packet format for checksum offload is
explained in subsequent patches.

The real device over which the rmnet devices are installed also
aggregate multiple IP packets and sends them as a single large
aggregate frame to the hardware. This causes degraded throughput
for TCP TX due to bufferbloat.
To overcome this problem, pacing shift value of 8 is set using the
sk_pacing_shift_update() helper. This value was determined based
on experiments with a single stream TCP TX using iperf for a
duration of 30s.

====================
ipv6: Align nexthop behaviour with IPv4
This set tries to eliminate some differences between IPv4's and IPv6's
treatment of nexthops. These differences are most likely a side effect
of IPv6's data structures (specifically 'rt6_info') that incorporate
both the route and the nexthop and the late addition of ECMP support in
commit 51ebd31815 ("ipv6: add support of equal cost multipath
(ECMP)").
IPv4 and IPv6 do not react the same to certain netdev events. For
example, upon carrier change affected IPv4 nexthops are marked using the
RTNH_F_LINKDOWN flag and the nexthop group is rebalanced accordingly.
IPv6 on the other hand, does nothing which forces us to perform a
carrier check during route lookup and dump. This makes it difficult to
introduce features such as non-equal-cost multipath that are built on
top of this set [1].
In addition, when a netdev is put administratively down IPv4 nexthops
are marked using the RTNH_F_DEAD flag, whereas IPv6 simply flushes all
the routes using these nexthops. To be consistent with IPv4, multipath
routes should only be flushed when all nexthops in the group are
considered dead.
The first 12 patches introduce non-functional changes that store the
RTNH_F_DEAD and RTNH_F_LINKDOWN flags in IPv6 routes based on netdev
events, in a similar fashion to IPv4. This allows us to remove the
carrier check performed during route lookup and dump.
The next three patches make sure we only flush a multipath route when
all of its nexthops are dead.
Last three patches add test cases for IPv4/IPv6 FIB. These verify that
both address families react similarly to netdev events.
Finally, this series also serves as a good first step towards David
Ahern's goal of treating nexthops as standalone objects [2], as it makes
the code more in line with IPv4 where the nexthop and the nexthop group
are separate objects from the route itself.

2. http://vger.kernel.org/netconf2017_files/nexthop-objects.pdf
Changes since RFC (feedback from David Ahern):
* Remove redundant declaration of rt6_ifdown() in patch 4 and adjust
comment referencing it accordingly
* Drop patch to flush multipath routes upon NETDEV_UNREGISTER. Reword
cover letter accordingly
* Use a temporary variable to make code more readable in patch 15

By default, IPv6 deletes nexthops from a multipath route when the
nexthop device is put administratively down. This differs from IPv4
where the nexthops are kept, but marked with the RTNH_F_DEAD flag. A
multipath route is flushed when all of its nexthops become dead.
Align IPv6 with IPv4 and have it conform to the same guidelines.
In case the multipath route needs to be flushed, its siblings are
flushed one by one. Otherwise, the nexthops are marked with the
appropriate flags and the tree walker is instructed to skip all the
siblings.
As explained in previous patches, care is taken to update the sernum of
the affected tree nodes, so as to prevent the use of wrong dst entries.

The next patch is going to allow dead routes to remain in the FIB tree
in certain situations.
When this happens we need to be sure to bump the sernum of the nodes
where these are stored so that potential copies cached in sockets are
invalidated.
The function that performs this update assumes the table lock is not
taken when it is invoked, but that will not be the case when it is
invoked by the tree walker.
Have the function assume the lock is taken and make the single caller
take the lock itself.

We are going to allow dead routes to stay in the FIB tree (e.g., when
they are part of a multipath route, directly connected route with no
carrier) and revive them when their nexthop device gains carrier or when
it is put administratively up.
This is equivalent to the addition of the route to the FIB tree and we
should therefore take care of updating the sernum of all the parent
nodes of the node where the route is stored. Otherwise, we risk sockets
caching and using sub-optimal dst entries.
Export the function that performs the above, so that it could be invoked
from fib6_ifup() later on.

As explained in previous patch, fib6_ifdown() needs to consider the
state of all the sibling routes when a multipath route is traversed.
This is done by evaluating all the siblings when the first sibling in a
multipath route is traversed. If the multipath route does not need to be
flushed (e.g., not all siblings are dead), then we should just skip the
multipath route as our work is done.
Have the tree walker jump to the last sibling when it is determined that
the multipath route needs to be skipped.

When routes that are a part of a multipath route are evaluated by
fib6_ifdown() in response to NETDEV_DOWN and NETDEV_UNREGISTER events
the state of their sibling routes is not considered.
This will change in subsequent patches in order to align IPv6 with
IPv4's behavior. For example, when the last sibling in a multipath route
becomes dead, the entire multipath route needs to be removed.
To prevent the tree walker from re-evaluating all the sibling routes
each time, we can simply evaluate them once - when the first sibling is
traversed.
If we determine the entire multipath route needs to be removed, then the
'should_flush' bit is set in all the siblings, which will cause the
walker to flush them when it traverses them.

Similar to IPv4, when the carrier of a netdev changes we should toggle
the 'linkdown' flag on all the nexthops using it as their nexthop
device.
This will later allow us to test for the presence of this flag during
route lookup and dump.
Up until commit 4832c30d54 ("net: ipv6: put host and anycast routes on
device with address") host and anycast routes used the loopback netdev
as their nexthop device and thus were not marked with the 'linkdown'
flag. The patch preserves this behavior and allows one to ping the local
address even when the nexthop device does not have a carrier and the
'ignore_routes_with_linkdown' sysctl is set.

To make IPv6 more in line with IPv4 we need to be able to respond
differently to different netdev events. For example, when a netdev is
unregistered all the routes using it as their nexthop device should be
flushed, whereas when the netdev's carrier changes only the 'linkdown'
flag should be toggled.
Currently, this is not possible, as the function that traverses the
routing tables is not aware of the triggering event.
Propagate the triggering event down, so that it could be used in later
patches.
