This changes slightly the set of registers read during `ethtool -d'.
Without this change, it's possible the HW will generate a grc Attention which
will be logged into system logs as `grc timeout'.

As reported by Jesper Dangaard Brouer, for high packet rates the
overhead of having another indirect call in the TX path is
non-trivial.
There is the indirect call itself, and then there is all of the
reloading of the state to refetch the tail pointer value and
then write the device register.
Move to a more passive scheme, which requires very light modifications
to the device drivers.
The signal is a new skb->xmit_more value, if it is non-zero it means
that more SKBs are pending to be transmitted on the same queue as the
current SKB. And therefore, the driver may elide the tail pointer
update.
Right now skb->xmit_more is always zero.

====================
Make is_kdump_kernel() accessible from modules
I'm re-spinning this patchset. At the begining it was suggested to use a
different name for the parameter, but at the end [3] the resolution was to
leave it as it is in this patch.
Drivers need to know if running from kdump kernel in order to change their
memory profile - since kdump environment is limited by available memory.
Currently there are drivers that are using reset_devices as suggested in [2].
In [2] it was suggested to use reset_devices, but the context was, to enable
driver to know when the hardware device is needed to be reset, and not if this
is a kdump environment. We think that is_kdump_kernel() is better suited to
select between different memory profiles.
The first patch in this patchset exports a needed symbol in order to make
is_kdump_kernel() accessible from the drivers. The rest of the patches change
from reset_devices to is_kdump_kernel() in 2 networking drivers.
The idea of this patchset was suggested by Vivek Goyal.
Tested (only build) and applied on top of commit 8fc54f6: ("net: use
reciprocal_scale() helper")

In order to make is_kdump_kernel() accessible from modules, need to
make elfcorehdr_addr exported.
This was rejected in the past [1] because reset_devices was prefered in
that context (reseting the device in kdump kernel), but now there are
some network drivers that need to reduce memory usage when loaded from
a kdump kernel. And in that context, is_kdump_kernel() suits better.

Basic deferred TX queue flushing infrastructure.
Over time, and specifically and more recently at the Networking
Workshop during Kernel SUmmit in Chicago, we have discussed the idea
of having some way to optimize transmits of multiple TX packets at
a time.
There are several areas of overhead that could be amortized with such
schemes. One has to do with locking and transactional overhead, the
other has to do with device specific costs.
This patch set here is more aimed at device specific costs.
Typically a device queues up a packet in the TX queue and then has to
do something to have the device start processing that new entry.
Sometimes this is composed of doing an MMIO write to a "tail"
register, and in other cases it can involve something as expensive as
a hypervisor call.
The basic setup defined here is that when the driver supports deferred
TX queue flushing, ndo_start_xmit should no longer perform that
operation. Instead a new operation, ndo_xmit_flush, should do it.
I have converted IGB and virtio_net as example initial users. The IGB
conversion is tested, virtio_net is not but it does compile :-)
All ndo_start_xmit call sites have been abstracted behind a new helper
called netdev_start_xmit().
This just adds the infrastructure, it does not actually add any
instances of actually doing multiple ndo_start_xmit calls per
ndo_xmit_flush invocation.

This patch addresses a couple of minor items, mostly addesssing
prandom_bytes(): 1) prandom_bytes{,_state}() should use size_t
for length arguments, 2) We can use put_unaligned() when filling
the array instead of open coding it [ perhaps some archs will
further benefit from their own arch specific implementation when
GCC cannot make up for it ], 3) Fix a typo, 4) Better use unsigned
int as type for getting the arch seed, 5) Make use of
prandom_u32_max() for timer slack.
Regarding the change to put_unaligned(), callers of prandom_bytes()
which internally invoke prandom_bytes_state(), don't bother as
they expect the array to be filled randomly and don't have any
control of the internal state what-so-ever (that's also why we
have periodic reseeding there, etc), so they really don't care.
Now for the direct callers of prandom_bytes_state(), which
are solely located in test cases for MTD devices, that is,
drivers/mtd/tests/{oobtest.c,pagetest.c,subpagetest.c}:
These tests basically fill a test write-vector through
prandom_bytes_state() with an a-priori defined seed each time
and write that to a MTD device. Later on, they set up a read-vector
and read back that blocks from the device. So in the verification
phase, the write-vector is being re-setup [ so same seed and
prandom_bytes_state() called ], and then memcmp()'ed against the
read-vector to check if the data is the same.
Akinobu, Lothar and I also tested this patch and it runs through
the 3 relevant MTD test cases w/o any errors on the nandsim device
(simulator for MTD devs) for x86_64, ppc64, ARM (i.MX28, i.MX53
and i.MX6):
# modprobe nandsim first_id_byte=0x20 second_id_byte=0xac \
third_id_byte=0x00 fourth_id_byte=0x15
# modprobe mtd_oobtest dev=0
# modprobe mtd_pagetest dev=0
# modprobe mtd_subpagetest dev=0
We also don't have any users depending directly on a particular
result of the PRNG (except the PRNG self-test itself), and that's
just fine as it e.g. allowed us easily to do things like upgrading
from taus88 to taus113.

====================
net: Checksum offload changes - Part V
I am working on overhauling RX checksum offload. Goals of this effort
are:
- Specify what exactly it means when driver returns CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
- Preserve CHECKSUM_COMPLETE through encapsulation layers
- Don't do skb_checksum more than once per packet
- Unify GRO and non-GRO csum verification as much as possible
- Unify the checksum functions (checksum_init)
- Simplify code
What is in this fifth patch set:
- Added GRO checksum validation functions
- Call the GRO validations functions from TCP and GRE gro_receive
- Perform checksum verification in the UDP gro_receive path using
GRO functions and add support for gro_receive in UDP6
Changes in V2:
- Change ip_summed to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY instead of moving it
to CHECKSUM_COMPLETE from GRO checksum validation. This avoids
performance penalty in checksumming bytes which are before the header
GRO is at.
Please review carefully and test if possible, mucking with basic
checksum functions is always a little precarious :-)

Drivers, and perhaps other entities we have not yet considered,
sometimes want to know how deep the protocol headers go before
deciding how large of an SKB to allocate and how much of the packet to
place into the linear SKB area.
For example, consider a driver which has a device which DMAs into
pools of pages and then tells the driver where the data went in the
DMA descriptor(s). The driver can then build an SKB and reference
most of the data via SKB fragments (which are page/offset/length
triplets).
However at least some of the front of the packet should be placed into
the linear SKB area, which comes before the fragments, so that packet
processing can get at the headers efficiently. The first thing each
protocol layer is going to do is a "pskb_may_pull()" so we might as
well aggregate as much of this as possible while we're building the
SKB in the driver.
Part of supporting this is that we don't have an SKB yet, so we want
to be able to let the flow dissector operate on a raw buffer in order
to compute the offset of the end of the headers.
So now we have a __skb_flow_dissect() which takes an explicit data
pointer and length.

tipc: Merge port and socket layer code
After the removal of the TIPC native interface, there is no reason to
keep a distinction between a "generic" port layer and a "specific"
socket layer in the code. Throughout the last months, we have posted
several series that aimed at facilitating removal of the port layer,
and in particular the port_lock spinlock, which in reality duplicates
the role normally kept by lock_sock()/bh_lock_sock().
In this series, we finalize this work, by making a significant number of
changes to the link, node, port and socket code, all with the aim of
reducing dependencies between the layers. In the final commits, we then
remove the port spinlock, port.c and port.h altogether.
After this series, we have a socket layer that has only few dependencies
to the rest of the stack, so that it should be possible to continue
cleanups of its code without significantly affecting other code.

In previous commits we have reduced usage of port_lock to a minimum,
and complemented it with usage of bh_lock_sock() at the remaining
locations. The purpose has been to remove this lock altogether, since
it largely duplicates the role of bh_lock_sock. We are now ready to do
this.
However, we still need to protect the BH callers from inadvertent
release of the socket while they hold a reference to it. We do this by
replacing port_lock by a combination of a rw-lock protecting the
reference table as such, and updating the socket reference counter while
the socket is referenced from BH. This technique is more standard and
comprehensible than the previous approach, and turns out to have a
positive effect on overall performance.

In order to make tipc_sock the only entity referencable from other
parts of the stack, we add a tipc_sock pointer instead of a tipc_port
pointer to the registry. As a consequence, we also let the function
tipc_port_lock() return a pointer to a tipc_sock instead of a tipc_port.
We keep the function's name for now, since the lock still is owned by
the port.
This is another step in the direction of eliminating port_lock, replacing
its usage with lock_sock() and bh_lock_sock().

list is in turn protected by a spinlock, 'port_list_lock', while each
socket is locked by using port_lock at the moment of access.
In order to reduce complexity and risk of deadlock, we want to get
rid of the linked list and the accompanying spinlock.
This is what we do in this commit. Instead of the linked list, we use
the port registry to scan across the sockets. We also add usage of
bh_lock_sock() inside the scope of port_lock in both functions, as a
preparation for the complete removal of port_lock.
Finally, we move the functions from port.c to socket.c, and rename them
to tipc_sk_sock_show() and tipc_sk_reinit() repectively.

After the latest changes to the socket/port layer the existence of
the functions tipc_port_init() and tipc_port_destroy() cannot be
justified. They are both called only once, from tipc_sk_create() and
tipc_sk_delete() respectively, and their functionality can better be
merged into the latter two functions.
This also entails that all remaining references to port_lock now are
made from inside socket.c, something that will make it easier to remove
this lock.

The function tipc_acknowledge() is a remnant from the obsolete native
API. Currently, it grabs port_lock, before building an acknowledge
message and sending it to the peer.
Since all access to socket members now is protected by the socket lock,
it has become unnecessary to grab port_lock here.
In this commit, we remove the usage of port_lock, simplify the
function, and move it to socket.c, renaming it to tipc_sk_send_ack().

tipc_port_connect()/tipc_port_disconnect() are remnants of the obsolete
native API. Their only task is to grab port_lock and call the functions
__tipc_port_connect()/__tipc_port_disconnect() respectively, which will
perform the actual state change.
Since socket/port exection now is single-threaded the use of port_lock
is not needed any more, so we can safely replace the two functions with
their lock-free counterparts.
In this commit, we remove the two functions. Furthermore, the contents
of __tipc_port_disconnect() is so trivial that we choose to eliminate
that function too, expanding its functionality into tipc_shutdown().
__tipc_port_connect() is simplified, moved to socket.c, and given the
more correct name tipc_sk_finish_conn(). Finally, we eliminate the
function auto_connect(), and expand its contents into filter_connect().

tipc_port_shutdown() is a remnant from the now obsolete native
interface. As such it grabs port_lock in order to protect itself
from concurrent BH processing.
However, after the recent changes to the port/socket upcalls, sockets
are now basically single-threaded, and all execution, except the read-only
tipc_sk_timer(), is executing within the protection of lock_sock(). So
the use of port_lock is not needed here.
In this commit we eliminate the whole function, and merge it into its
only caller, tipc_shutdown().

The last remaining BH upcall to the socket, apart for the message
reception function tipc_sk_rcv(), is the timer function.
We prefer to let this function continue executing in BH, since it only
does read-acces to semi-permanent data, but we make three changes to it:
1) We introduce a bh_lock_sock()/bh_unlock_sock() inside the scope
of port_lock. This is a preparation for replacing port_lock with
bh_lock_sock() at the locations where it is still used.
2) We move the function from port.c to socket.c, as a further step
of eliminating the port code level altogether.
3) We let it make use of the newly introduced tipc_msg_create()
function. This enables us to get rid of three context specific
functions (port_create_self_abort_msg() etc.) in port.c
