This patch introduces a new knob ndisc_notify. If enabled, the kernel
will transmit an unsolicited neighbour advertisement on link-layer address
change to update the neighbour tables of the corresponding hosts more quickly.
This is the equivalent to arp_notify in ipv4 world.

Included changes:
- minimal fixes to the packet layout to avoid the __packed attribute when not
needed
- new packet type called UNICAST_4ADDR: in this packet it is possible to find
both source and destination node (in the classic UNICAST header only the
destination field exists).
- a new feature: Distributed ARP Table (D.A.T.). It aims to reduce ARP lookups
latency by means of a simil-DHT approach.

The tx data offset of packet mmap tx ring used to be :
(TPACKET2_HDRLEN - sizeof(struct sockaddr_ll))
The problem is that, with SOCK_RAW socket, the payload (14 bytes after
the beginning of the user data) is misaligned.
This patch allows to let the user gives an offset for it's tx data if
he desires.
Set sock option PACKET_TX_HAS_OFF to 1, then specify in each frame of
your tx ring tp_net for SOCK_DGRAM, or tp_mac for SOCK_RAW.

Due to a NULL dereference, the following patch is causing oops

af_packet: don't emit packet on orig fanout group
This buggy patch was a feature fix and has reached most stable
branches.
When skb->sk is NULL and when packet fanout is used, there is a
crash in match_fanout_group where skb->sk is accessed.
This patch fixes the issue by returning false as soon as the
socket is NULL: this correspond to the wanted behavior because
the kernel as to resend the skb to all the listening socket in
this case.

If the max packet size for some class (configured through tc) is
violated by the actual size of the packets of that class, then QFQ
would not schedule classes correctly, and the data structures
implementing the bucket lists may get corrupted. This problem occurs
with TSO/GSO even if the max packet size is set to the MTU, and is,
e.g., the cause of the failure reported in [1]. Two patches have been
proposed to solve this problem in [2], one of them is a preliminary
version of this patch.
This patch addresses the above issues by: 1) setting QFQ parameters to
proper values for supporting TSO/GSO (in particular, setting the
maximum possible packet size to 64KB), 2) automatically increasing the
max packet size for a class, lmax, when a packet with a larger size
than the current value of lmax arrives.
The drawback of the first point is that the maximum weight for a class
is now limited to 4096, which is equal to 1/16 of the maximum weight
sum.
Finally, this patch also forcibly caps the timestamps of a class if
they are too high to be stored in the bucket list. This capping, taken
from QFQ+ [3], handles the unfrequent case described in the comment to
the function slot_insert.

The "early client detection mechanism" can be extended to find new clients by
means of unicast_4addr packets.
The unicast_4addr packet contains as well as the broadcast packet (which is
currently used in this mechanism) the address of the originating node and can
therefore be used to install new entries in the Global Translation Table

In case of an ARP message going in or out the soft_iface, it is intercepted and
a special action is performed. In particular the DHT helper functions previously
implemented are used to store all the ARP entries belonging to the network in
order to provide a fast and unicast lookup instead of the classic broadcast
flooding mechanism.
Each node stores the entries it is responsible for (following the DHT rules) in
its soft_iface ARP table. This makes it possible to reuse the kernel data
structures and functions for ARP management.

The current unicast packet type does not contain the orig source address. This
patches add a new unicast packet (called UNICAST_4ADDR) which provides two new
fields: the originator source address and the subtype (the type of the data
contained in the packet payload). The former is useful to identify the node
which injected the packet into the network and the latter is useful to avoid
creating new unicast packet types in the future: a macro defining a new subtype
will be enough.

Commit 56b765b79e9 (htb: improved accuracy at high rates)
introduced two bugs :
1) one bstats_update() was inadvertently removed from
htb_dequeue_tree(), breaking statistics/rate estimation.
2) Missing qdisc_put_rtab() calls in htb_change_class(),
leaking kernel memory, now struct htb_class no longer
retains pointers to qdisc_rate_table structs.
Since only rate is used, dont use qdisc_get_rtab() calls
copying data we ignore anyway.

Current HTB (and TBF) uses rate table computed by the "tc"
userspace program, which has the following issue:
The rate table has 256 entries to map packet lengths
to token (time units). With TSO sized packets, the
256 entry granularity leads to loss/gain of rate,
making the token bucket inaccurate.
Thus, instead of relying on rate table, this patch
explicitly computes the time and accounts for packet
transmission times with nanosecond granularity.
This greatly improves accuracy of HTB with a wide
range of packet sizes.
Example:
tc qdisc add dev $dev root handle 1: \
htb default 1
tc class add dev $dev classid 1:1 parent 1: \
rate 5Gbit mtu 64k
Here is an example of inaccuracy:
$ iperf -c host -t 10 -i 1
With old htb:
eth4: 34.76 Mb/s In 5827.98 Mb/s Out - 65836.0 p/s In 481273.0 p/s Out
[SUM] 9.0-10.0 sec 669 MBytes 5.61 Gbits/sec
[SUM] 0.0-10.0 sec 6.50 GBytes 5.58 Gbits/sec
With new htb:
eth4: 28.36 Mb/s In 5208.06 Mb/s Out - 53704.0 p/s In 430076.0 p/s Out
[SUM] 9.0-10.0 sec 594 MBytes 4.98 Gbits/sec
[SUM] 0.0-10.0 sec 5.80 GBytes 4.98 Gbits/sec
The bits per second on the wire is still 5200Mb/s with new HTB
because qdisc accounts for packet length using skb->len, which
is smaller than total bytes on the wire if GSO is used. But
that is for another patch regardless of how time is accounted.

Lots of points in the sctp_cmd_interpreter function treat the sctp_cmd_t arg as
a void pointer, even though they are written as various other types. Theres no
need for this as doing so just leads to possible type-punning issues that could
cause crashes, and if we remain type-consistent we can actually just remove the
void * member of the union entirely.
Change Notes:
v2)
* Dropped chunk that modified SCTP_NULL to create a marker pattern
should anyone try to use a SCTP_NULL() assigned sctp_arg_t, Assigning
to .zero provides the same effect and should be faster, per Vlad Y.
v3)
* Reverted part of V2, opting to use memset instead of .zero, so that
the entire union is initalized thus avoiding the i164 speculative load
problems previously encountered, per Dave M.. Also rewrote
SCTP_[NO]FORCE so as to use common infrastructure a little more

For passive TCP connections using TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT facility,
we incorrectly increment req->retrans each time timeout triggers
while no SYNACK is sent.
SYNACK are not sent for TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT that were established (for
which we received the ACK from client). Only the last SYNACK is sent
so that we can receive again an ACK from client, to move the req into
accept queue. We plan to change this later to avoid the useless
retransmit (and potential problem as this SYNACK could be lost)
TCP_INFO later gives wrong information to user, claiming imaginary
retransmits.
Decouple req->retrans field into two independent fields :
num_retrans : number of retransmit
num_timeout : number of timeouts
num_timeout is the counter that is incremented at each timeout,
regardless of actual SYNACK being sent or not, and used to
compute the exponential timeout.
Introduce inet_rtx_syn_ack() helper to increment num_retrans
only if ->rtx_syn_ack() succeeded.
Use inet_rtx_syn_ack() from tcp_check_req() to increment num_retrans
when we re-send a SYNACK in answer to a (retransmitted) SYN.
Prior to this patch, we were not counting these retransmits.
Change tcp_v[46]_rtx_synack() to increment TCP_MIB_RETRANSSEGS
only if a synack packet was successfully queued.

When creating an L2TPv3 Ethernet session, if register_netdev() should fail for
any reason (for example, automatic naming for "l2tpeth%d" interfaces hits the
32k-interface limit), the netdev is freed in the error path. However, the
l2tp_eth_sess structure's dev pointer is left uncleared, and this results in
l2tp_eth_delete() then attempting to unregister the same netdev later in the
session teardown. This results in an oops.
To avoid this, clear the session dev pointer in the error path.

Commit e5a55a898720096f43bc24938f8875c0a1b34cd7 ('net: create generic

rtnl_bridge_getlink() (based on the old br_dump_ifinfo()).
When the starting index is non-zero, we need to increment the current
index for each entry that we are skipping. Also, we need to check the
index before both cases, since we may previously have stopped
iteration between getting information about a device from its master
and from itself.

Parse the string into an array of bytes rather than ints, so we can
use is_link_local() rather than reimplementing it.

Orphaning frags for zero copy skbs needs to allocate data in atomic
context so is has a chance to fail. If it does we currently discard
the skb which is safe, but we don't report anything to the caller,
so it can not recover by e.g. disabling zero copy.
Add an API to free skb reporting such errors: this is used
by tun in case orphaning frags fails.

Even if skb is marked for zero copy, net core might still decide
to copy it later which is somewhat slower than a copy in user context:
besides copying the data we need to pin/unpin the pages.
Add a parameter reporting such cases through zero copy callback:
if this happens a lot, device can take this into account
and switch to copying in user context.
This patch updates all users but ignores the passed value for now:
it will be used by follow-up patches.
