On SH-R and Lancer-R, GET_MAC_LIST cmd is better supported
(instead of NTWK_MAC_QUERY cmd) to query provisioned MAC addresses.
Similiarly, (on SH-R and Lancer-R) SET_MAC_LIST must be used by the PF to
provision a permanent MAC addresses to the VF.

The code to configure the permanent MAC in be_setup() has become quite
complicated, with different FW cmds being used for BEx, SH-R and Lancer.
Simplify the logic by moving some of this complexity to be_cmds.c. This
makes the code in be_setup() a little more readable.

For BE3 VFs, the permanent MAC is added by its PF. The VF can retrieve its
pmac_id only via the IFACE_CREATE cmd. This is not true for Lancer and SH-R
VFs which get the pmac_id by issuing a ADD_IFACE_MAC cmd. So, use this
hack only for BE3 VFs.

Currently, the VFs by default don't have the privilege to modify MAC address.
This will change in a subsequent fix wherein VFs will have the ability to
modify MAC/VLAN filters.
Fix be_mac_addr_set() logic to support MAC address modification on a
privileged VF too.

Add support to replace an existing entry found in the
vxlan fdb database. The entry in question is identified
by its unicast mac address and the destination information
is changed. If the entry is not found, it is added in the
forwarding database. This is similar to changing an entry
in the neighbour table.
Multicast mac addresses can not be changed with the replace
option.
This is useful for virtual machine migration when the
destination of a target virtual machine changes. The replace
feature can be used instead of delete followed by add.

Yuchung Cheng says:
====================
This patch series improve RTT sampling in three ways:
1. Sample RTT during fast recovery and reordering events.
2. Favor ack-based RTT to timestamps because of broken TS ECR fields
3. Consolidate the RTT measurement logic.
====================

If RTT is not available because Karn's check has failed or no
new packet is acked, use the RTT measured from SACK to estimate
the RTO. The sender can continue to estimate the RTO during loss
recovery or reordering event upon receiving non-partial ACKs.
This also changes when the RTO is re-armed. Previously it is
only re-armed when some data is cummulatively acknowledged (i.e.,
SND.UNA advances), but now it is re-armed whenever RTT estimator
is updated. This feature is particularly useful to reduce spurious
timeout for buffer bloat including cellular carriers [1], and
RTT estimation on reordering events.

Take RTT sample if an ACK selectively acks some sequences that
have never been retransmitted. The Karn's algorithm does not apply
even if that ACK (s)acks other retransmitted sequences, because it
must been generated by an original but perhaps out-of-order packet.
There is no ambiguity. In case when multiple blocks are newly
sacked because of ACK losses the earliest block is used to
measure RTT, similar to cummulative ACKs.
Such RTT samples allow the sender to estimate the RTO during loss
recovery and packet reordering events. It is still useful even with
TCP timestamps. That's because during these events the SND.UNA may
not advance preventing RTT samples from TS ECR (thus the FLAG_ACKED
check before calling tcp_ack_update_rtt()). Therefore this new
RTT source is complementary to existing ACK and TS RTT mechanisms.
This patch does not update the RTO. It is done in the next patch.

Prefer packet timings to TS-ecr for RTT measurements when both
sources are available. That's because broken middle-boxes and remote
peer can return packets with corrupted TS ECR fields. Similarly most
congestion controls that require RTT signals favor timing-based
sources as well. Also check for bad TS ECR values to avoid RTT
blow-ups. It has happened on production Web servers.

The first patch consolidates SYNACK and other RTT measurement to use a

RTT measurement happens after PAWS check, potentially reducing the
impact of RTO seeding on bad TCP timestamps values.

3) Fix NETIF_F_SG capability advertisement in hyperv driver, if the

6) We need to reset the transport header of SKBs in ipv4 before we
attempt to perform early socket demux, just like ipv6 does. From
Eric Dumazet.
7) Add missing locking on vxlan device removal, from Stephen
Hemminger.
8) xen-netfront has to make two passes over an SKB to prepare it for
transfer. One pass calculates the number of slots needed, the
second massages the SKB and fills the slots. Unfortunately, the
first pass doesn't calculate the number of slots properly so we
can end up trying to build a MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 SKB which doesn't
work out so well. Fix from Jan Beulich with help and discussion
with several others.
9) Fix a similar problem in tun and macvtap, which have to split up
scatter-gather elements at PAGE_SIZE boundaries. Don't do
zerocopy if it would result in a > MAX_SKB_FRAGS skb. Fixes from
Jason Wang.
10) On receive, once we've decoded the VLAN state completely, clear
skb->vlan_tci. Otherwise demuxed tunnels underneath can trigger
the VLAN code again, corrupting the packet. Fix from Eric
Dumazet"

In commit 48cc32d38a52d0b68f91a171a8d00531edc6a46e
("vlan: don't deliver frames for unknown vlans to protocols")
Florian made sure we set pkt_type to PACKET_OTHERHOST
if the vlan id is set and we could find a vlan device for this
particular id.
But we also have a problem if prio bits are set.
Steinar reported an issue on a router receiving IPv6 frames with a
vlan tag of 4000 (id 0, prio 2), and tunneled into a sit device,
because skb->vlan_tci is set.
Forwarded frame is completely corrupted : We can see (8100:4000)
being inserted in the middle of IPv6 source address :
16:48:00.780413 IP6 2001:16d8:8100:4000:ee1c:0:9d9:bc87 >

It seems we are not really ready to properly cope with this right now.
We can probably do better in future kernels :
vlan_get_ingress_priority() should be a netdev property instead of
a per vlan_dev one.
For stable kernels, lets clear vlan_tci to fix the bugs.

We try to linearize part of the skb when the number of iov is greater than
MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This is not enough since each single vector may occupy more than
one pages, so zerocopy_sg_fromiovec() may still fail and may break the guest
network.
Solve this problem by calculate the pages needed for iov before trying to do
zerocopy and switch to use copy instead of zerocopy if it needs more than
MAX_SKB_FRAGS.
This is done through introducing a new helper to count the pages for iov, and
call uarg->callback() manually when switching from zerocopy to copy to notify
vhost.
We can do further optimization on top.

QFQ+ inherits from QFQ a design choice that may cause a high packet
delay/jitter and a severe short-term unfairness. As QFQ, QFQ+ uses a
special quantity, the system virtual time, to track the service
provided by the ideal system it approximates. When a packet is
dequeued, this quantity must be incremented by the size of the packet,
divided by the sum of the weights of the aggregates waiting to be
served. Tracking this sum correctly is a non-trivial task, because, to
preserve tight service guarantees, the decrement of this sum must be
delayed in a special way [1]: this sum can be decremented only after
that its value would decrease also in the ideal system approximated by
QFQ+. For efficiency, QFQ+ keeps track only of the 'instantaneous'
weight sum, increased and decreased immediately as the weight of an
aggregate changes, and as an aggregate is created or destroyed (which,
in its turn, happens as a consequence of some class being
created/destroyed/changed). However, to avoid the problems caused to
service guarantees by these immediate decreases, QFQ+ increments the
system virtual time using the maximum value allowed for the weight
sum, 2^10, in place of the dynamic, instantaneous value. The
instantaneous value of the weight sum is used only to check whether a
request of weight increase or a class creation can be satisfied.
Unfortunately, the problems caused by this choice are worse than the
temporary degradation of the service guarantees that may occur, when a
class is changed or destroyed, if the instantaneous value of the
weight sum was used to update the system virtual time. In fact, the
fraction of the link bandwidth guaranteed by QFQ+ to each aggregate is
equal to the ratio between the weight of the aggregate and the sum of
the weights of the competing aggregates. The packet delay guaranteed
to the aggregate is instead inversely proportional to the guaranteed
bandwidth. By using the maximum possible value, and not the actual
value of the weight sum, QFQ+ provides each aggregate with the worst
possible service guarantees, and not with service guarantees related
to the actual set of competing aggregates. To see the consequences of
this fact, consider the following simple example.
Suppose that only the following aggregates are backlogged, i.e., that
only the classes in the following aggregates have packets to transmit:
one aggregate with weight 10, say A, and ten aggregates with weight 1,
say B1, B2, ..., B10. In particular, suppose that these aggregates are
always backlogged. Given the weight distribution, the smoothest and
fairest service order would be:
A B1 A B2 A B3 A B4 A B5 A B6 A B7 A B8 A B9 A B10 A B1 A B2 ...
QFQ+ would provide exactly this optimal service if it used the actual
value for the weight sum instead of the maximum possible value, i.e.,
11 instead of 2^10. In contrast, since QFQ+ uses the latter value, it
serves aggregates as follows (easy to prove and to reproduce
experimentally):
A B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 B9 B10 A A A A A A A A A A B1 B2 ... B10 A A ...
By replacing 10 with N in the above example, and by increasing N, one
can increase at will the maximum packet delay and the jitter
experienced by the classes in aggregate A.
This patch addresses this issue by just using the above
'instantaneous' value of the weight sum, instead of the maximum
possible value, when updating the system virtual time. After the
instantaneous weight sum is decreased, QFQ+ may deviate from the ideal
service for a time interval in the order of the time to serve one
maximum-size packet for each backlogged class. The worst-case extent
of the deviation exhibited by QFQ+ during this time interval [1] is
basically the same as of the deviation described above (but, without
this patch, QFQ+ suffers from such a deviation all the time). Finally,
this patch modifies the comment to the function qfq_slot_insert, to
make it coherent with the fact that the weight sum used by QFQ+ can
now be lower than the maximum possible value.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core patches from Greg KH:
"Here are some driver core patches for 3.11-rc2. They aren't really
bugfixes, but a bunch of new helper macros for drivers to properly
create attribute groups, which drivers and subsystems need to fix up a
ton of race issues with incorrectly creating sysfs files (binary and
normal) after userspace has been told that the device is present.
Also here is the ability to create binary files as attribute groups,
to solve that race condition, which was impossible to do before this,
so that's my fault the drivers were broken.
The majority of the .c changes is indenting and moving code around a
bit. It affects no existing code, but allows the large backlog of 70+
patches that I already have created to start flowing into the
different subtrees, instead of having to live in my driver-core tree,
causing merge nightmares in linux-next for the next few months.
These were finalized too late for the -rc1 merge window, which is why
they were didn't make that pull request, testing and review from
others didn't happen until a few weeks ago, and then there's the whole
distraction of the past few days, which prevented these from getting
to you sooner, sorry about that.
Oh, and there's a bugfix for the documentation build warning in here
as well. All of these have been in linux-next this week, with no
reported problems"

Pull phase two of __cpuinit removal from Paul Gortmaker:
"With the __cpuinit infrastructure removed earlier, this group of
commits only removes the function/data tagging that was done with the
various (now no-op) __cpuinit related prefixes.
Now that the dust has settled with yesterday's v3.11-rc1, there
hopefully shouldn't be any new users leaking back in tree, but I think
we can leave the harmless no-op stubs there for a release as a
courtesy to those who still have out of tree stuff and weren't paying
attention.
Although the commits are against the recent tag to allow for minor
context refreshes for things like yesterday's v3.11-rc1~ slab content,
the patches have been largely unchanged for weeks, aside from such
trivial updates.
For detail junkies, the largely boring and mostly irrelevant history
of the patches can be viewed at:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/paulg/cpuinit-delete.git
If nothing else, I guess it does at least demonstrate the level of
involvement required to shepherd such a treewide change to completion.
This is the same repository of patches that has been applied to the
end of the daily linux-next branches for the past several weeks"
