	When same struct dst_entry can be used for many different neighbours we can not use it for pending confirmations. As last step, we can remove the pending_confirm flag.

2017-02-07	net: use dst_confirm_neigh for UDP, RAW, ICMP, L2TP	Julian Anastasov	9	-19/+44
	When same struct dst_entry can be used for many different neighbours we can not use it for pending confirmations. The datagram protocols can use MSG_CONFIRM to confirm the neighbour. When used with MSG_PROBE we do not reach the code where neighbour is confirmed, so we have to do the same slow lookup by using the dst_confirm_neigh() helper. When MSG_PROBE is not used, ip_append_data/ip6_append_data will set the skb flag dst_pending_confirm.

2017-02-07	net: add confirm_neigh method to dst_ops	Julian Anastasov	3	-0/+54
	Add confirm_neigh method to dst_ops and use it from IPv4 and IPv6 to lookup and confirm the neighbour. Its usage via the new helper dst_confirm_neigh() should be restricted to MSG_PROBE users for performance reasons. For XFRM prefer the last tunnel address, if present. With help from Steffen Klassert.

2017-02-07	tcp: replace dst_confirm with sk_dst_confirm	Julian Anastasov	3	-14/+7
	When same struct dst_entry can be used for many different neighbours we can not use it for pending confirmations. Use the new sk_dst_confirm() helper to propagate the indication from received packets to sock_confirm_neigh().

	Add new transport flag to allow sockets to confirm neighbour. When same struct dst_entry can be used for many different neighbours we can not use it for pending confirmations. The flag is propagated from transport to every packet. It is reset when cached dst is reset.

	Add new skbuff flag to allow protocols to confirm neighbour. When same struct dst_entry can be used for many different neighbours we can not use it for pending confirmations.

2017-02-07	net: dsa: Add support for platform data	Florian Fainelli	1	-18/+84
	Allow drivers to use the new DSA API with platform data. Most of the code in net/dsa/dsa2.c does not rely so much on device_nodes and can get the same information from platform_data instead. We purposely do not support distributed configurations with platform data, so drivers should be providing a pointer to a 'struct dsa_chip_data' structure if they wish to communicate per-port layout. Multiple CPUs port could potentially be supported and dsa_chip_data is extended to receive up to one reference to an upstream network device per port described by a dsa_chip_data structure. dsa_dev_to_net_device() increments the network device's reference count, so we intentionally call dev_put() to be consistent with the DT-enabled path, until we have a generic notifier based solution.

2017-02-06	bridge: fdb: write to used and updated at most once per jiffy	Nikolay Aleksandrov	2	-2/+4

2017-02-06	bridge: move write-heavy fdb members in their own cache line	Nikolay Aleksandrov	1	-4/+6
	Fdb's used and updated fields are written to on every packet forward and packet receive respectively. Thus if we are receiving packets from a particular fdb, they'll cause false-sharing with everyone who has looked it up (even if it didn't match, since mac/vid share cache line!). The "used" field is even worse since it is updated on every packet forward to that fdb, thus the standard config where X ports use a single gateway results in 100% fdb false-sharing. Note that this patch does not prevent the last scenario, but it makes it better for other bridge participants which are not using that fdb (and are only doing lookups over it). The point is with this move we make sure that only communicating parties get the false-sharing, in a later patch we'll show how to avoid that too.

2017-02-06	bridge: move to workqueue gc	Nikolay Aleksandrov	10	-23/+29
	Move the fdb garbage collector to a workqueue which fires at least 10 milliseconds apart and cleans chain by chain allowing for other tasks to run in the meantime. When having thousands of fdbs the system is much more responsive. Most importantly remove the need to check if the matched entry has expired in __br_fdb_get that causes false-sharing and is completely unnecessary if we cleanup entries, at worst we'll get 10ms of traffic for that entry before it gets deleted.

2017-02-06	bridge: modify bridge and port to have often accessed fields in one cache line	Nikolay Aleksandrov	1	-23/+20
	Move around net_bridge so the vlan fields are in the beginning since they're checked on every packet even if vlan filtering is disabled. For the port move flags & vlan group to the beginning, so they're in the same cache line with the port's state (both flags and state are checked on each packet).

2017-02-06	net: dsa: introduce bridge notifier	Vivien Didelot	2	-11/+61
