[ Upstream commit 2793a23aacbd754dbbb5cb75093deb7e4103bace ]

Netdevice parameter hard_header_len is variously interpreted both as
an upper and lower bound on link layer header length. The field is
used as upper bound when reserving room at allocation, as lower bound
when validating user input in PF_PACKET.

Clarify the definition to be maximum header length. For validation
of untrusted headers, add an optional validate member to header_ops.

Allow bypassing of validation by passing CAP_SYS_RAWIO, for instance
for deliberate testing of corrupt input. In this case, pad trailing
bytes, as some device drivers expect completely initialized headers.

<title>net: make netdev_for_each_lower_dev safe for device removal</title>

<content type='text'>
When I used netdev_for_each_lower_dev in commit bad531623253 ("vrf:
remove slave queue and private slave struct") I thought that it acts
like netdev_for_each_lower_private and can be used to remove the current
device from the list while walking, but unfortunately it acts more like
netdev_for_each_lower_private_rcu and doesn't allow it. The difference
is where the "iter" points to, right now it points to the current element
and that makes it impossible to remove it. Change the logic to be
similar to netdev_for_each_lower_private and make it point to the "next"
element so we can safely delete the current one. VRF is the only such
user right now, there's no change for the read-only users.

Here's what can happen now:

The napi_synchronize() function is defined twice: The definition
for SMP builds waits for other CPUs to be done, while the uniprocessor
variant just contains a barrier and ignores its argument.

In the mvneta driver, this leads to a warning about an unused variable
when we lookup the NAPI struct of another CPU and then don't use it:

ethernet/marvell/mvneta.c: In function 'mvneta_percpu_notifier':
ethernet/marvell/mvneta.c:2910:30: error: unused variable 'other_port' [-Werror=unused-variable]

There are no other CPUs on a UP build, so that code never runs, but
gcc does not know this.

The nicest solution seems to be to turn the napi_synchronize() helper
into an inline function for the UP case as well, as that leads gcc to
not complain about the argument being unused. Once we do that, we can
also combine the two cases into a single function definition and use
if(IS_ENABLED()) rather than #ifdef to make it look a bit nicer.

The warning first came up in linux-4.4, but I failed to catch it
earlier.

This work adds a generalization of the ingress qdisc as a qdisc holding
only classifiers. The clsact qdisc works on ingress, but also on egress.
In both cases, it's execution happens without taking the qdisc lock, and
the main difference for the egress part compared to prior version of [1]
is that this can be applied with _any_ underlying real egress qdisc (also
classless ones).

Besides solving the use-case of [1], that is, allowing for more programmability
on assigning skb-&gt;priority for the mqprio case that is supported by most
popular 10G+ NICs, it also opens up a lot more flexibility for other tc
applications. The main work on classification can already be done at clsact
egress time if the use-case allows and state stored for later retrieval
f.e. again in skb-&gt;priority with major/minors (which is checked by most
classful qdiscs before consulting tc_classify()) and/or in other skb fields
like skb-&gt;tc_index for some light-weight post-processing to get to the
eventual classid in case of a classful qdisc. Another use case is that
the clsact egress part allows to have a central egress counterpart to
the ingress classifiers, so that classifiers can easily share state (e.g.
in cls_bpf via eBPF maps) for ingress and egress.

Currently, default setups like mq + pfifo_fast would require for this to
use, for example, prio qdisc instead (to get a tc_classify() run) and to
duplicate the egress classifier for each queue. With clsact, it allows
for leaving the setup as is, it can additionally assign skb-&gt;priority to
put the skb in one of pfifo_fast's bands and it can share state with maps.
Moreover, we can access the skb's dst entry (f.e. to retrieve tclassid)
w/o the need to perform a skb_dst_force() to hold on to it any longer. In
lwt case, we can also use this facility to setup dst metadata via cls_bpf
(bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key()) without needing a real egress qdisc just for
that (case of IFF_NO_QUEUE devices, for example).

The realization can be done without any changes to the scheduler core
framework. All it takes is that we have two a-priori defined minors/child
classes, where we can mux between ingress and egress classifier list
(dev-&gt;ingress_cl_list and dev-&gt;egress_cl_list, latter stored close to
dev-&gt;_tx to avoid extra cacheline miss for moderate loads). The egress
part is a bit similar modelled to handle_ing() and patched to a noop in
case the functionality is not used. Both handlers are now called
sch_handle_ingress() and sch_handle_egress(), code sharing among the two
doesn't seem practical as there are various minor differences in both
paths, so that making them conditional in a single handler would rather
slow things down.

Full compatibility to ingress qdisc is provided as well. Since both
piggyback on TC_H_CLSACT, only one of them (ingress/clsact) can exist
per netdevice, and thus ingress qdisc specific behaviour can be retained
for user space. This means, either a user does 'tc qdisc add dev foo ingress'
and configures ingress qdisc as usual, or the 'tc qdisc add dev foo clsact'
alternative, where both, ingress and egress classifier can be configured
as in the below example. ingress qdisc supports attaching classifier to any
minor number whereas clsact has two fixed minors for muxing between the
lists, therefore to not break user space setups, they are better done as
two separate qdiscs.

I decided to extend the sch_ingress module with clsact functionality so
that commonly used code can be reused, the module is being aliased with
sch_clsact so that it can be auto-loaded properly. Alternative would have been
to add a flag when initializing ingress to alter its behaviour plus aliasing
to a different name (as it's more than just ingress). However, the first would
end up, based on the flag, choosing the new/old behaviour by calling different
function implementations to handle each anyway, the latter would require to
register ingress qdisc once again under different alias. So, this really begs
to provide a minimal, cleaner approach to have Qdisc_ops and Qdisc_class_ops
by its own that share callbacks used by both.

Example, adding qdisc:

   # tc qdisc add dev foo clsact
   # tc qdisc show dev foo
   qdisc mq 0: root
   qdisc pfifo_fast 0: parent :1 bands 3 priomap  1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
   qdisc pfifo_fast 0: parent :2 bands 3 priomap  1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
   qdisc pfifo_fast 0: parent :3 bands 3 priomap  1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
   qdisc pfifo_fast 0: parent :4 bands 3 priomap  1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
   qdisc clsact ffff: parent ffff:fff1

Adding filters (deleting, etc works analogous by specifying ingress/egress):

   # tc filter add dev foo ingress bpf da obj bar.o sec ingress
   # tc filter add dev foo egress  bpf da obj bar.o sec egress
   # tc filter show dev foo ingress
   filter protocol all pref 49152 bpf
   filter protocol all pref 49152 bpf handle 0x1 bar.o:[ingress] direct-action
   # tc filter show dev foo egress
   filter protocol all pref 49152 bpf
   filter protocol all pref 49152 bpf handle 0x1 bar.o:[egress] direct-action

A 'tc filter show dev foo' or 'tc filter show dev foo parent ffff:' will
show an empty list for clsact. Either using the parent names (ingress/egress)
or specifying the full major/minor will then show the related filter lists.

Prior work on a mqprio prequeue() facility [1] was done mainly by John Fastabend.

TX fast path uses ndo_start_xmit(), ndo_features_check() and
ndo_select_queue().

Move ndo_features_check() close to ndo_start_xmit() to increase

Add skb_csum_offload_chk driver helper function to determine if a
device with limited checksum offload capabilities is able to offload the
checksum for a given packet.

This patch includes:
  - The skb_csum_offload_chk function. Returns true if checksum is
    offloadable, else false. Optionally, in the case that the checksum
    is not offloable, the function can call skb_checksum_help to resolve
    the checksum. skb_csum_offload_chk also returns whether the checksum
    refers to an encapsulated checksum.
  - Definition of skb_csum_offl_spec structure that caller uses to
    indicate rules about what it can offload (e.g. IPv4/v6, TCP/UDP only,
    whether encapsulated checksums can be offloaded, whether checksum with
    IPv6 extension headers can be offloaded).
  - Ancilary functions called skb_csum_offload_chk_help,
    skb_csum_off_chk_help_cmn, skb_csum_off_chk_help_cmn_v4_only.
