Depending on the preempt mode, the bpf_prog stored in xdp_prog may be
freed despite the use of call_rcu inside bpf_prog_put. The situation is
possible when running in PREEMPT_RCU=y mode, for instance, since the rcu
callback for destroying the bpf prog can run even during the bh handling
in the mlx4 rx path.
Several options were considered before this patch was settled on:
Add a napi_synchronize loop in mlx4_xdp_set, which would occur after all
of the rings are updated with the new program.
This approach has the disadvantage that as the number of rings
increases, the speed of update will slow down significantly due to
napi_synchronize's msleep(1).
Add a new rcu_head in bpf_prog_aux, to be used by a new bpf_prog_put_bh.
The action of the bpf_prog_put_bh would be to then call bpf_prog_put
later. Those drivers that consume a bpf prog in a bh context (like mlx4)
would then use the bpf_prog_put_bh instead when the ring is up. This has
the problem of complexity, in maintaining proper refcnts and rcu lists,
and would likely be harder to review. In addition, this approach to
freeing must be exclusive with other frees of the bpf prog, for instance
a _bh prog must not be referenced from a prog array that is consumed by
a non-_bh prog.
The placement of rcu_read_lock in this patch is functionally the same as
putting an rcu_read_lock in napi_poll. Actually doing so could be a
potentially controversial change, but would bring the implementation in
line with sk_busy_loop (though of course the nature of those two paths
is substantially different), and would also avoid future copy/paste
problems with future supporters of XDP. Still, this patch does not take
that opinionated option.
Testing was done with kernels in either PREEMPT_RCU=y or
CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y+PREEMPT_RCU=n modes, with neither exhibiting
any drawback. With PREEMPT_RCU=n, the extra call to rcu_read_lock did
not show up in the perf report whatsoever, and with PREEMPT_RCU=y the
overhead of rcu_read_lock (according to perf) was the same before/after.
In the rx path, rcu_read_lock is eventually called for every packet
from netif_receive_skb_internal, so the napi poll call's rcu_read_lock
is easily amortized.
v2:
Remove extra rcu_read_lock in mlx4_en_process_rx_cq body
Annotate xdp_prog with __rcu, and convert all usages to rcu_assign or
rcu_dereference[_protected] as appropriate.
Add explicit mutex lock around rcu_assign instead of xchg loop.

net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: isolate Global2 support
Registers of Marvell chips are organized in internal SMI devices.
One of them at address 0x1C is called Global2. It provides an extended
set of registers, used for interrupt control, EEPROM access, indirect
PHY access (to bypass the PHY Polling Unit) and cross-chip setup.
Most chips have it, but some others don't (older ones such as 6060).
Now that its related code is isolated in mv88e6xxx_g2_* functions, move
it to its own global2.c file, making most of its setup code static.
Then make its compilation optional, which allows to reduce the size of
the mv88e6xxx driver for devices such as home routers embedding Ethernet

Netfilter updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
tree. Most relevant updates are the removal of per-conntrack timers to
use a workqueue/garbage collection approach instead from Florian
Westphal, the hash and numgen expression for nf_tables from Laura
Garcia, updates on nf_tables hash set to honor the NLM_F_EXCL flag,
removal of ip_conntrack sysctl and many other incremental updates on our
Netfilter codebase.
More specifically, they are:
1) Retrieve only 4 bytes to fetch ports in case of non-linear skb
transport area in dccp, sctp, tcp, udp and udplite protocol
conntrackers, from Gao Feng.
2) Missing whitespace on error message in physdev match, from Hangbin Liu.
3) Skip redundant IPv4 checksum calculation in nf_dup_ipv4, from Liping Zhang.
4) Add nf_ct_expires() helper function and use it, from Florian Westphal.
5) Replace opencoded nf_ct_kill() call in IPVS conntrack support, also
from Florian.
6) Rename nf_tables set implementation to nft_set_{name}.c
7) Introduce the hash expression to allow arbitrary hashing of selector
concatenations, from Laura Garcia Liebana.
8) Remove ip_conntrack sysctl backward compatibility code, this code has
been around for long time already, and we have two interfaces to do
this already: nf_conntrack sysctl and ctnetlink.
9) Use nf_conntrack_get_ht() helper function whenever possible, instead
of opencoding fetch of hashtable pointer and size, patch from Liping Zhang.
10) Add quota expression for nf_tables.
11) Add number generator expression for nf_tables, this supports
incremental and random generators that can be combined with maps,
very useful for load balancing purpose, again from Laura Garcia Liebana.
12) Fix a typo in a debug message in FTP conntrack helper, from Colin Ian King.
13) Introduce a nft_chain_parse_hook() helper function to parse chain hook
configuration, this is used by a follow up patch to perform better chain
update validation.
14) Add rhashtable_lookup_get_insert_key() to rhashtable and use it from the
nft_set_hash implementation to honor the NLM_F_EXCL flag.
15) Missing nulls check in nf_conntrack from nf_conntrack_tuple_taken(),
patch from Florian Westphal.
16) Don't use the DYING bit to know if the conntrack event has been already
delivered, instead a state variable to track event re-delivery
states, also from Florian.
17) Remove the per-conntrack timer, use the workqueue approach that was
discussed during the NFWS, from Florian Westphal.
18) Use the netlink conntrack table dump path to kill stale entries,
again from Florian.
19) Add a garbage collector to get rid of stale conntracks, from
Florian.
20) Reschedule garbage collector if eviction rate is high.
21) Get rid of the __nf_ct_kill_acct() helper.
22) Use ARPHRD_ETHER instead of hardcoded 1 from ARP logger.
23) Make nf_log_set() interface assertive on unsupported families.

tipc: improve broadcast NACK mechanism
The broadcast protocol has turned out to not scale well beyond 70-80
nodes, while it is now possible to build TIPC clusters of at least ten
times that size. This commit series improves the NACK/retransmission
mechanism of the broadcast protocol to make is at scalable as the rest
of TIPC.

Because of the risk of an excessive number of NACK messages and
retransissions, receivers have until now abstained from sending
broadcast NACKS directly upon detection of a packet sequence number
gap. We have instead relied on such gaps being detected by link
protocol STATE message exchange, something that by necessity delays
such detection and subsequent retransmissions.
With the introduction of unicast NACK transmission and rate control
of retransmissions we can now remove this limitation. We now allow
receiving nodes to send NACKS immediately, while coordinating the
permission to do so among the nodes in order to avoid NACK storms.

As cluster sizes grow, so does the amount of identical or overlapping
broadcast NACKs generated by the packet receivers. This often leads to
'NACK crunches' resulting in huge numbers of redundant retransmissions
of the same packet ranges.
In this commit, we introduce rate control of broadcast retransmissions,
so that a retransmitted range cannot be retransmitted again until after
at least 10 ms. This reduces the frequency of duplicate, redundant
retransmissions by an order of magnitude, while having a significant
positive impact on overall throughput and scalability.

When we send broadcasts in clusters of more 70-80 nodes, we sometimes
see the broadcast link resetting because of an excessive number of
retransmissions. This is caused by a combination of two factors:
1) A 'NACK crunch", where loss of broadcast packets is discovered
and NACK'ed by several nodes simultaneously, leading to multiple
redundant broadcast retransmissions.
2) The fact that the NACKS as such also are sent as broadcast, leading
to excessive load and packet loss on the transmitting switch/bridge.
This commit deals with the latter problem, by moving sending of
broadcast nacks from the dedicated BCAST_PROTOCOL/NACK message type
to regular unicast LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE messages. We allocate 10 unused
bits in word 8 of the said message for this purpose, and introduce a
new capability bit, TIPC_BCAST_STATE_NACK in order to keep the change
backwards compatible.
