net: Introduction of the tc tests
Apologies for sending this as one big patch. I've been sitting on this a little
too long, but it's ready and I wanted to get it out.

Add the beginnings of a testsuite for tc functionality in the kernel.
These are a series of unit tests that use the tc executable and verify
the success of those commands by checking both the exit codes and the
output from tc's 'show' operation.
To run the tests:
# cd tools/testing/selftests/tc-testing
# sudo ./tdc.py
You can specify the tc executable to use with the -p argument on the command
line or editing the 'TC' variable in tdc_config.py. Refer to the README for
full details on how to run.
The initial complement of test cases are limited mostly to tc actions. Test
cases are most welcome; see the creating-testcases subdirectory for help
in creating them.

qed*: RDMA and infrastructure for iWARP
This series focuses on RDMA in general with emphasis on required changes
toward adding iWARP support. The vast majority of the changes introduced
are in qed/qede, with a couple of small changes to qedr
[mentioned below].
The infrastructure changes:
- Patch #1 adds the ability to pass PBL memory externally for a newly
created chain.
- Patches #4, #5 rename qede_roce.[ch] into qede_rdma.[ch] + change
prefixes from _roce_ to _rdma_, as the API between qede and qedr is
agnostic to the variant of the RDMA protocol used. These patches also
touch qedr [basically to align it with the renaming, nothing more].
- Patch #7 replaces the current SPQ async mechanism into serving
registered callbacks [before adding iWARP which would add another client
in need of this sort of functionallity].
The non-infrastrucutre changes:
- Patches #2, #3 contain DCB-related changes to better align RDMA with
configured DCB.
- Patch #6 contains a minor [mostly theoretical fix] to release flow.
Changes from previous versions
------------------------------
- V4: This is actually a repost of V3 due to some confusion regarding
the sent cover-letter
- V3: Add commit log message in #4 indicating change in header inclusion
- V2: Add several inclusion into qede_rdma.h to have proper declarations
of all variable types used in it

Whenever firmware indicates that there's an async indication it needs
to handle, there's a switch-case where the right functionality is called
based on function's personality and information.
Before iWARP is added [as yet another client], switch over the SPQ into
a callback-registered mechanism, allowing registration of the relevant
event-processing logic based on the function's personality. This allows
us to tidy the code by removing protocol-specifics from a common file.

During the module initialisation there is a possible race
(basically race between uld and lld) where neither the uld
nor lld notifies the uP about where to route the ctrl queue
completions. LLD skips notifying uP as the rdma queues were
not created by then (will leave it to ULD to notify the uP).
As the ULD comes up, it also skips notifying the uP as the
flag FULL_INIT_DONE is not set yet (ULD assumes that the
interface is not up yet).
Consequently, this race between uld and lld leaves uP
unnotified about where to send the ctrl queue completions
to, leading to iwarp RI_RES WR failure.
Here is the race:
CPU 0 CPU1
- allocates nic rx queus
- t4_sge_alloc_ctrl_txq()
(if rdma rsp queues exists,
tell uP to route ctrl queue
compl to rdma rspq)
- acquires the mutex_lock
- allocates rdma response queues
- if FULL_INIT_DONE set,
tell uP to route ctrl queue compl
to rdma rspq
- relinquishes mutex_lock
- acquires the mutex_lock
- enable_rx()
- set FULL_INIT_DONE
- relinquishes mutex_lock

Each Octeon output ring can DMA packets to host memory in two modes: info-
pointer mode and buffer-pointer-only mode. In info-pointer mode, Octeon
takes two buffer pointers for each packet and places the length of the
packet along with specified number of bytes from the beginning of the
packet into one buffer and the rest of the packet in a separate buffer. In
buffer-pointer-only mode, Octeon takes single buffer pointer and places the
length of the packet at the beginning of the buffer followed by the packet
data.
This patch switches all Octeon output rings from info-pointer mode to
buffer-pointer-only mode. This results in fewer DMA setups and cache line

====================
remove dst garbage collector logic
The current mechanism of dst release is a bit complicated. It is because
the users of dst get divided into 2 situations:
1. Most users take the reference count when using a dst and release the
reference count when done.
2. Exceptional users like IPv4/IPv6/decnet/xfrm routing code do not take
reference count when referencing to a dst due to some histotic reasons.
Due to those exceptional use cases in 2, reference count being 0 is not an
adequate evidence to indicate that no user is using this dst. So users in 1
can't free the dst simply based on reference count being 0 because users in
2 might still hold reference to it.
Instead, a dst garbage list is needed to hold the dst entries that already
get removed by the users in 2 but are still held by users in 1. And a periodic
garbage collector task is run to check all the dst entries in the list to see
if the users in 1 have released the reference to those dst entries.
If so, the dst is now ready to be freed.
This logic introduces unnecessary complications in the dst code which makes it
hard to understand and to debug.
In order to get rid of the whole dst garbage collector (gc) and make the dst
code more unified and simplified, we can make the users in 2 also take reference
count on the dst and release it properly when done.
This way, dst can be safely freed once the refcount drops to 0 and no gc
thread is needed anymore.
This patch series' target is to completely get rid of dst gc logic and free
dst based on reference count only.
Patch 1-3 are preparation patches to do some cleanup/improvement on the existing
code to make later work easier.
Patch 4-21 are real implementations.
In these patches, a temporary flag DST_NOGC is used to help transition
those exceptional users one by one. Once every component is transitioned,
this temporary flag is removed.
By the end of this patch series, all dst are refcounted when being used
and released when done. And dst will be freed when its refcount drops to 0.
No dst gc task is running anymore.
Note: This patch series depends on the decnet fix that was sent right before:
"decnet: always not take dst->__refcnt when inserting dst into hash table"
v2:
add curly braces in udp_v4/6_early_demux() in patch 02
add EXPORT_SYMBOL() for dst_dev_put() in patch 05

struct dn_route is inserted into dn_rt_hash_table but no dst->__refcnt

counted.
As the dst is always ref counted properly, we can safely mark

And dst gc is no longer needed and all dst_free() or its related
function calls should be replaced with dst_release() or
dst_release_immediate(). And dst_dev_put() is called when removing dst
from the hash table to release the reference on dst->dev before we lose
pointer to it.

During the creation of xfrm_dst bundle, always take ref count when
allocating the dst. This way, xfrm_bundle_create() will form a linked
list of dst with dst->child pointing to a ref counted dst child. And
the returned dst pointer is also ref counted. This makes the link from
the flow cache to this dst now ref counted properly.
As the dst is always ref counted properly, we can safely mark
DST_NOGC flag so dst_release() will release dst based on refcnt only.
And dst gc is no longer needed and all dst_free() and its related
function calls should be replaced with dst_release() or
dst_release_immediate().
The special handling logic for dst->child in dst_destroy() can be
replaced with a simple dst_release_immediate() call on the child to
release the whole list linked by dst->child pointer.
Previously used DST_NOHASH flag is not needed anymore as well. The
reason that DST_NOHASH is used in the existing code is mainly to prevent
the dst inserted in the fib tree to be wrongly destroyed during the
deletion of the xfrm_dst bundle. So in the existing code, DST_NOHASH
flag is marked in all the dst children except the one which is in the
fib tree.
However, with this patch series to remove dst gc logic and release dst
only based on ref count, it is safe to release all the children from a
xfrm_dst bundle as long as the dst children are all ref counted
properly which is already the case in the existing code.
So, this patch removes the use of DST_NOHASH flag.

dst_hold_safe() is needed to avoid double free issue if dst
gc is removed and dst_release() directly destroys dst when
dst->__refcnt drops to 0.
In tx path, TCP hold sk->sk_rx_dst ref count and also hold sock_lock().
UDP and other similar protocols always hold refcount for
skb->_skb_refdst. So both paths seem to be safe.
In rx path, as it is lockless and skb_dst_set_noref() is likely to be
used, dst_hold_safe() should always be used when trying to hold dst.
In the routing code, if dst is held during an rcu protected session, it
is necessary to call dst_hold_safe() as the current dst might be in its

In IPv4 routing code, fib_nh and fib_nh_exception can hold pointers
to struct rtable but they never increment dst->__refcnt.
This leads to the need of the dst garbage collector because when user
is done with this dst and calls dst_release(), it can only decrement
dst->__refcnt and can not free the dst even it sees dst->__refcnt
drops from 1 to 0 (unless DST_NOCACHE flag is set) because the routing
code might still hold reference to it.
And when the routing code tries to delete a route, it has to put the
dst to the gc_list if dst->__refcnt is not yet 0 and have a gc thread
running periodically to check on dst->__refcnt and finally to free dst
when refcnt becomes 0.
This patch increments dst->__refcnt when
fib_nh/fib_nh_exception holds reference to this dst and properly release
the dst when fib_nh/fib_nh_exception has been updated with a new dst.
This patch is a preparation in order to fully get rid of dst gc later.
