 "A couple interesting SKB fragment handling fixes, plus the usual small
  bits here and there:

   1) Fix 64-bit divide build failure on 32-bit platforms in mlx5, from
      Tim Gardner.

   2) Get rid of a stupid reimplementation on "%*phC" in our sysfs MAC
      address printing helper.

   3) Fix NETIF_F_SG capability advertisement in hyperv driver, if the
      device can't do checksumming offloads then it shouldn't say it can
      do SG either.  From Haiyang Zhang.

   4) bgmac needs to depend on PHYLIB, from Hauke Mehrtens.

   5) Don't leak DMA mappings on mapping failures, from Neil Horman.

   6) We need to reset the transport header of SKBs in ipv4 before we
      attempt to perform early socket demux, just like ipv6 does.  From
      Eric Dumazet.

   7) Add missing locking on vxlan device removal, from Stephen
      Hemminger.

   8) xen-netfront has to make two passes over an SKB to prepare it for
      transfer.  One pass calculates the number of slots needed, the
      second massages the SKB and fills the slots.  Unfortunately, the
      first pass doesn't calculate the number of slots properly so we
      can end up trying to build a MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 SKB which doesn't
      work out so well.  Fix from Jan Beulich with help and discussion
      with several others.

   9) Fix a similar problem in tun and macvtap, which have to split up
      scatter-gather elements at PAGE_SIZE boundaries.  Don't do
      zerocopy if it would result in a &gt; MAX_SKB_FRAGS skb.  Fixes from
      Jason Wang.

  10) On receive, once we've decoded the VLAN state completely, clear
      skb-&gt;vlan_tci.  Otherwise demuxed tunnels underneath can trigger
      the VLAN code again, corrupting the packet.  Fix from Eric

egress_priority_map[] hash table updates are protected by rtnl,
and we never remove elements until device is dismantled.

We have to make sure that before inserting an new element in hash table,
all its fields are committed to memory or else another cpu could
find corrupt values and crash.

In commit 48cc32d38a52d0b68f91a171a8d00531edc6a46e
("vlan: don't deliver frames for unknown vlans to protocols")
Florian made sure we set pkt_type to PACKET_OTHERHOST
if the vlan id is set and we could find a vlan device for this
particular id.

But we also have a problem if prio bits are set.

Steinar reported an issue on a router receiving IPv6 frames with a
vlan tag of 4000 (id 0, prio 2), and tunneled into a sit device,
because skb-&gt;vlan_tci is set.

Forwarded frame is completely corrupted : We can see (8100:4000)
being inserted in the middle of IPv6 source address :

16:48:00.780413 IP6 2001:16d8:8100:4000:ee1c:0:9d9:bc87 &gt;
9f94:4d95:2001:67c:29f4::: ICMP6, unknown icmp6 type (0), length 64
       0x0000:  0000 0029 8000 c7c3 7103 0001 a0ae e651
       0x0010:  0000 0000 ccce 0b00 0000 0000 1011 1213
       0x0020:  1415 1617 1819 1a1b 1c1d 1e1f 2021 2223
       0x0030:  2425 2627 2829 2a2b 2c2d 2e2f 3031 3233

It seems we are not really ready to properly cope with this right now.

We can probably do better in future kernels :
vlan_get_ingress_priority() should be a netdev property instead of
a per vlan_dev one.

For stable kernels, lets clear vlan_tci to fix the bugs.

<content type='text'>
QFQ+ inherits from QFQ a design choice that may cause a high packet
delay/jitter and a severe short-term unfairness. As QFQ, QFQ+ uses a
special quantity, the system virtual time, to track the service
provided by the ideal system it approximates. When a packet is
dequeued, this quantity must be incremented by the size of the packet,
divided by the sum of the weights of the aggregates waiting to be
served. Tracking this sum correctly is a non-trivial task, because, to
preserve tight service guarantees, the decrement of this sum must be
delayed in a special way [1]: this sum can be decremented only after
that its value would decrease also in the ideal system approximated by
QFQ+. For efficiency, QFQ+ keeps track only of the 'instantaneous'
weight sum, increased and decreased immediately as the weight of an
aggregate changes, and as an aggregate is created or destroyed (which,
in its turn, happens as a consequence of some class being
created/destroyed/changed). However, to avoid the problems caused to
service guarantees by these immediate decreases, QFQ+ increments the
system virtual time using the maximum value allowed for the weight
sum, 2^10, in place of the dynamic, instantaneous value. The
instantaneous value of the weight sum is used only to check whether a
request of weight increase or a class creation can be satisfied.

Unfortunately, the problems caused by this choice are worse than the
temporary degradation of the service guarantees that may occur, when a
class is changed or destroyed, if the instantaneous value of the
weight sum was used to update the system virtual time. In fact, the
fraction of the link bandwidth guaranteed by QFQ+ to each aggregate is
equal to the ratio between the weight of the aggregate and the sum of
the weights of the competing aggregates. The packet delay guaranteed
to the aggregate is instead inversely proportional to the guaranteed
bandwidth. By using the maximum possible value, and not the actual
value of the weight sum, QFQ+ provides each aggregate with the worst
possible service guarantees, and not with service guarantees related
to the actual set of competing aggregates. To see the consequences of
this fact, consider the following simple example.

Suppose that only the following aggregates are backlogged, i.e., that
only the classes in the following aggregates have packets to transmit:
one aggregate with weight 10, say A, and ten aggregates with weight 1,
say B1, B2, ..., B10. In particular, suppose that these aggregates are
always backlogged. Given the weight distribution, the smoothest and
fairest service order would be:
A B1 A B2 A B3 A B4 A B5 A B6 A B7 A B8 A B9 A B10 A B1 A B2 ...

QFQ+ would provide exactly this optimal service if it used the actual
value for the weight sum instead of the maximum possible value, i.e.,
11 instead of 2^10. In contrast, since QFQ+ uses the latter value, it
serves aggregates as follows (easy to prove and to reproduce
experimentally):
A B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 B9 B10 A A A A A A A A A A B1 B2 ... B10 A A ...

By replacing 10 with N in the above example, and by increasing N, one
can increase at will the maximum packet delay and the jitter
experienced by the classes in aggregate A.

This patch addresses this issue by just using the above
'instantaneous' value of the weight sum, instead of the maximum
possible value, when updating the system virtual time.  After the
instantaneous weight sum is decreased, QFQ+ may deviate from the ideal
service for a time interval in the order of the time to serve one
maximum-size packet for each backlogged class. The worst-case extent
of the deviation exhibited by QFQ+ during this time interval [1] is
basically the same as of the deviation described above (but, without
this patch, QFQ+ suffers from such a deviation all the time). Finally,
this patch modifies the comment to the function qfq_slot_insert, to
make it coherent with the fact that the weight sum used by QFQ+ can
now be lower than the maximum possible value.

Pull phase two of __cpuinit removal from Paul Gortmaker:
 "With the __cpuinit infrastructure removed earlier, this group of
  commits only removes the function/data tagging that was done with the
  various (now no-op) __cpuinit related prefixes.

  Now that the dust has settled with yesterday's v3.11-rc1, there
  hopefully shouldn't be any new users leaking back in tree, but I think
  we can leave the harmless no-op stubs there for a release as a
  courtesy to those who still have out of tree stuff and weren't paying
  attention.

  Although the commits are against the recent tag to allow for minor
  context refreshes for things like yesterday's v3.11-rc1~ slab content,
  the patches have been largely unchanged for weeks, aside from such
  trivial updates.

  For detail junkies, the largely boring and mostly irrelevant history
  of the patches can be viewed at:

Pull phase two of __cpuinit removal from Paul Gortmaker:
 "With the __cpuinit infrastructure removed earlier, this group of
  commits only removes the function/data tagging that was done with the
  various (now no-op) __cpuinit related prefixes.

  Now that the dust has settled with yesterday's v3.11-rc1, there
  hopefully shouldn't be any new users leaking back in tree, but I think
  we can leave the harmless no-op stubs there for a release as a
  courtesy to those who still have out of tree stuff and weren't paying
  attention.

  Although the commits are against the recent tag to allow for minor
  context refreshes for things like yesterday's v3.11-rc1~ slab content,
  the patches have been largely unchanged for weeks, aside from such
  trivial updates.

  For detail junkies, the largely boring and mostly irrelevant history
  of the patches can be viewed at:

It's just a duplicate implementation of "%*phC".  Thanks to Joe
Perches for showing that we had exactly this support in the
lib/vsprintf.c code already.

<title>ipv4: set transport header earlier</title>

commit 45f00f99d6e ("ipv4: tcp: clean up tcp_v4_early_demux()") added a
performance regression for non GRO traffic, basically disabling
IP early demux.

IPv6 stack resets transport header in ip6_rcv() before calling
IP early demux in ip6_rcv_finish(), while IPv4 does this only in
ip_local_deliver_finish(), _after_ IP early demux.

GRO traffic happened to enable IP early demux because transport header
is also set in inet_gro_receive()

Instead of reverting the faulty commit, we can make IPv4/IPv6 behave the
same : transport_header should be set in ip_rcv() instead of
ip_local_deliver_finish()

ip_local_deliver_finish() can also use skb_network_header_len() which is
faster than ip_hdrlen()
