Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge
window. The only difference from the one I made the other day is that
this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes
made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have
trickeled in.Highlights:
1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt
handling and context switches. Allows direct polling of a network
device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll().Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature.
Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in
commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'")From Eliezer Tamir.
2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised
more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast
addresses. Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from
Eric Dumazet.3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from
Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski,
Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan.4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from
Pavel Emelyanov.5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from
Rony Efraim.6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar.
7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from
Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet.8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis,
from Cong Wang.9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen
Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport. In particular,
support receiving on multiple UDP ports.10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie
lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code. From Daniel
Borkmann.11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel
devices. From Nicolas Dichtel.12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a
manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all.
From Daniel Borkmann.13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver,
from Johannes Berg.14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue,
by using an rbtree. From Eric Dumazet.15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung
Cheng.16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon
Horman.17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque
pointer that's passed into them. Use this to properly handle
network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event(). From Jiri
Pirko and Timo Teräs.18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter
Huewe.19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a
O(1) calculation instead. From Eric Dumazet.20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just
like ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel.21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet.
22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu
during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding. From
Willem de Bruijn.23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric
Dumazet.24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's
burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead. Also
from Eric Dumazet.25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix
from Vlad Yasevich.26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets. From Lorenzo Colitti.
27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time
too, from David Majnemer.28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due
to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs.29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in
upd_v6_push_pending_frames(). From Hannes Frederic Sowa.30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman."

Changes:
v3->v2: rebase (no other changes)
passes selftest
v2->v1: read f->num_members only once
fix bug: test rollover mode + flagMinimize packet drop in a fanout group. If one socket is full,
roll over packets to another from the group. Maintain flow
affinity during normal load using an rxhash fanout policy, while
dispersing unexpected traffic storms that hit a single cpu, such
as spoofed-source DoS flows. Rollover breaks affinity for flows
arriving at saturated sockets during those conditions.The patch adds a fanout policy ROLLOVER that rotates between sockets,
filling each socket before moving to the next. It also adds a fanout
flag ROLLOVER. If passed along with any other fanout policy, the
primary policy is applied until the chosen socket is full. Then,
rollover selects another socket, to delay packet drop until the
entire system is saturated.Probing sockets is not free. Selecting the last used socket, as
rollover does, is a greedy approach that maximizes chance of
success, at the cost of extreme load imbalance. In practice, with
sufficiently long queues to absorb bursts, sockets are drained in
parallel and load balance looks uniform in `top`.To avoid contention, scales counters with number of sockets and
accesses them lockfree. Values are bounds checked to ensure
correctness.Tested using an application with 9 threads pinned to CPUs, one socket
per thread and sufficient busywork per packet operation to limits each
thread to handling 32 Kpps. When sent 500 Kpps single UDP stream
packets, a FANOUT_CPU setup processes 32 Kpps in total without this
patch, 270 Kpps with the patch. Tested with read() and with a packet
ring (V1).Also, passes psock_fanout.c unit test added to selftests.

To save connecting and searching for a given grub menu for each test,
ktest.pl will cache the grub number it found. The problem is that
different tests might use a different grub menu, but ktest.pl will
ignore it.Instead, have ktest.pl check if the grub menu it used to cache the
content is the same as when it grabbed the menu. If not, grab it again,
otherwise just return the cached value.Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

Stricter validation was introduced with commit da27a24383b2b
("efivarfs: guid part of filenames are case-insensitive") and commit
47f531e8ba3b ("efivarfs: Validate filenames much more aggressively"),
which is necessary for the guid portion of efivarfs filenames, but we
don't need to be so strict with the first part, the variable name. The
UEFI specification doesn't impose any constraints on variable names
other than they be a NULL-terminated string.The above commits caused a regression that resulted in users seeing
the following message,$ sudo mount -v /sys/firmware/efi/efivars mount: Cannot allocate memory
whenever pstore EFI variables were present in the variable store,
since their variable names failed to pass the following check,/* GUID should be right after the first '-' */
if (s - 1 != strchr(str, '-'))as a typical pstore filename is of the form, dump-type0-10-1-.
The fix is trivial since the guid portion of the filename is GUID_LEN
bytes, we can use (len - GUID_LEN) to ensure the '-' character is
where we expect it to be.(The bogus ENOMEM error value will be fixed in a separate patch.)
