1) Old code was hard to maintain, due to complex lock chains.
   (We probably will be able to remove some kfree_rcu() in callers)

2) Using a single timer to update all estimators does not scale.

3) Code was buggy on 32bit kernel (WRITE_ONCE() on 64bit quantity
   is not supposed to work well)

In this rewrite :

- I removed the RB tree that had to be scanned in
  gen_estimator_active(). qdisc dumps should be much faster.

- Each estimator has its own timer.

- Estimations are maintained in net_rate_estimator structure,
  instead of dirtying the qdisc. Minor, but part of the simplification.

- Reading the estimator uses RCU and a seqcount to provide proper
  support for 32bit kernels.

- We reduce memory need when estimators are not used, since
  we store a pointer, instead of the bytes/packets counters.

- xt_rateest_mt() no longer has to grab a spinlock.
  (In the future, xt_rateest_tg() could be switched to per cpu counters)

Made kernel accept IPv6 routes with IPv4-mapped address as next-hop.

It is possible to configure IP interfaces with IPv4-mapped addresses, and
one can add IPv6 routes for IPv4-mapped destinations/prefixes, yet prior
to this fix the kernel returned an EINVAL when attempting to add an IPv6
route with an IPv4-mapped address as a nexthop/gateway.

RFC 4798 (a proposed standard RFC) uses IPv4-mapped addresses as nexthops,
thus in order to support that type of address configuration the kernel
needs to allow IPv4-mapped addresses as nexthops.

Occasionally, clang (e.g. version 3.8.1) translates a sum between two
constant operands using a BPF_OR instead of a BPF_ADD. The verifier is
currently not handling this scenario, and the destination register type
becomes UNKNOWN_VALUE even if it's still storing a constant. As a result,
the destination register cannot be used as argument to a helper function
expecting a ARG_CONST_STACK_*, limiting some use cases.

Modify the verifier to handle this case, and add a few tests to make sure
all combinations are supported, and stack boundaries are still verified
even with BPF_OR.

tcp: tsq: performance series

Under very high TX stress, CPU handling NIC TX completions can spend
considerable amount of cycles handling TSQ (TCP Small Queues) logic.

This patch series avoids some atomic operations, but most notable
patch is the 3rd one, allowing other cpus processing ACK packets and
calling tcp_write_xmit() to grab TCP_TSQ_DEFERRED so that
tcp_tasklet_func() can skip already processed sockets.

This avoid lots of lock acquisitions and cache lines accesses,
particularly under load.

In v2, I added :

- tcp_small_queue_check() change to allow 1st and 2nd packets
  in write queue to be sent, even in the case TX completion of
    already acknowledged packets did not happen yet.
      This helps when TX completion coalescing parameters are set
        even to insane values, and/or busy polling is used.

- A reorganization of struct sock fields to
  lower false sharing and increase data locality.

- Then I moved tsq_flags from tcp_sock to struct sock also
  to reduce cache line misses during TX completions.

I measured an overall throughput gain of 22 % for heavy TCP use
over a single TX queue.

ipv4: fib: Replay events when registering FIB notifier

Ido says:

In kernel 4.9 the switchdev-specific FIB offload mechanism was replaced
by a new FIB notification chain to which modules could register in order
to be notified about the addition and deletion of FIB entries. The
motivation for this change was that switchdev drivers need to be able to
reflect the entire FIB table and not only FIBs configured on top of the
port netdevs themselves. This is useful in case of in-band management.

The fundamental problem with this approach is that upon registration
listeners lose all the information previously sent in the chain and
thus have an incomplete view of the FIB tables, which can result in
packet loss. This patchset fixes that by dumping the FIB tables and
replaying notifications previously sent in the chain for the registered
notification block.

The entire dump process is done under RCU and thus the FIB notification
chain is converted to be atomic. The listeners are modified accordingly.
This is done in the first eight patches.

The ninth patch adds a change sequence counter to ensure the integrity
of the FIB dump. The last patch adds the dump itself to the FIB chain
registration function and modifies existing listeners to pass a callback
to be executed in case dump was inconsistent.

---
v3->v4:
- Register the notification block after the dump and protect it using
  the change sequence counter (Hannes Frederic Sowa).
- Since we now integrate the dump into the registration function, drop
  the sysctl to set maximum number of retries and instead set it to a
  fixed number. Lets see if it's really a problem before adding something
  we can never remove.
- For the same reason, dump FIB tables for all net namespaces.
- Add a comment regarding guarantees provided by mutex semantics.

v2->v3:
- Add sysctl to set the number of FIB dump retries (Hannes Frederic Sowa).
- Read the sequence counter under RTNL to ensure synchronization
  between the dump process and other processes changing the routing
  tables (Hannes Frederic Sowa).
- Pass a callback to the dump function to be executed prior to a retry.
- Limit the dump to a single net namespace.

v1->v2:
- Add a sequence counter to ensure the integrity of the FIB dump
  (David S. Miller, Hannes Frederic Sowa).
- Protect notifications from re-ordering in listeners by using an
  ordered workqueue (Hannes Frederic Sowa).
- Introduce fib_info_hold() (Jiri Pirko).
- Relieve rocker from the need to invoke the FIB dump by registering
  to the FIB notification chain prior to ports creation.

Commit b90eb754

 ("fib: introduce FIB notification infrastructure")
introduced a new notification chain to notify listeners (f.e., switchdev
drivers) about addition and deletion of routes.

However, upon registration to the chain the FIB tables can already be
populated, which means potential listeners will have an incomplete view
of the tables.

Solve that by dumping the FIB tables and replaying the events to the
passed notification block. The dump itself is done using RCU in order
not to starve consumers that need RTNL to make progress.

The integrity of the dump is ensured by reading the FIB change sequence
counter before and after the dump under RTNL. This allows us to avoid
the problematic situation in which the dumping process sends a ENTRY_ADD
notification following ENTRY_DEL generated by another process holding
RTNL.

Callers of the registration function may pass a callback that is
executed in case the dump was inconsistent with current FIB tables.

The number of retries until a consistent dump is achieved is set to a
fixed number to prevent callers from looping for long periods of time.
In case current limit proves to be problematic in the future, it can be
easily converted to be configurable using a sysctl.

The next patch will enable listeners of the FIB notification chain to
request a dump of the FIB tables. However, since RTNL isn't taken during
the dump, it's possible for the FIB tables to change mid-dump, which
will result in inconsistency between the listener's table and the
kernel's.

Allow listeners to know about changes that occurred mid-dump, by adding
a change sequence counter to each net namespace. The counter is
incremented just before a notification is sent in the FIB chain.
