e4c7ed4153 vxlan: add ipv6 support
This patch adds IPv6 support to vxlan device, as the new version
RFC already mentions it:

caf92bc400 ipv6: do not call ndisc_send_rs() with write lock
Because vxlan module will call ip6_dst_lookup() in TX path,
which will hold write lock. So we have to release this write lock
before calling ndisc_send_rs(), otherwise could deadlock.

5f81bd2e5d ipv6: export a stub for IPv6 symbols used by vxlan
In case IPv6 is compiled as a module, introduce a stub
for ipv6_sock_mc_join and ipv6_sock_mc_drop etc.. It will be used
by vxlan module. Suggested by Ben.

This is an ugly but easy solution for now.

ae5dbf1ad8 Merge branch 'for-davem' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bwh/sfc-next
Ben Hutchings says:

====================
1. A little more refactoring.
2. Remove the unnecessary use of atomic_t that you pointed out.
3. Add support for starting or queueing firmware requests from atomic
context.
4. Add hwmon support for additional sensors found on some new boards.
5. Add support for the EF10 controller architecture, the SFC9100 family
and specifically the SFC9120 controller.

6da7c8fcbc qdisc: allow setting default queuing discipline
By default, the pfifo_fast queue discipline has been used by default
for all devices. But we have better choices now.

This patch allow setting the default queueing discipline with sysctl.
This allows easy use of better queueing disciplines on all devices
without having to use tc qdisc scripts. It is intended to allow
an easy path for distributions to make fq_codel or sfq the default
qdisc.

This patch also makes pfifo_fast more of a first class qdisc, since
it is now possible to manually override the default and explicitly
use pfifo_fast. The behavior for systems who do not use the sysctl
is unchanged, they still get pfifo_fast

Also removes leftover random # in sysctl net core.

1b7fdd2ab5 tcp: do not use cached RTT for RTT estimation
RTT cached in the TCP metrics are valuable for the initial timeout
because SYN RTT usually does not account for serialization delays
on low BW path.

However using it to seed the RTT estimator maybe disruptive because
other components (e.g., pacing) require the smooth RTT to be obtained
from actual connection.

The solution is to use the higher cached RTT to set the first RTO
conservatively like tcp_rtt_estimator(), but avoid seeding the other
RTT estimator variables such as srtt.  It is also a good idea to
keep RTO conservative to obtain the first RTT sample, and the
performance is insured by TCP loss probe if SYN RTT is available.

To keep the seeding formula consistent across SYN RTT and cached RTT,
the rttvar is twice the cached RTT instead of cached RTTVAR value. The
reason is because cached variation may be too small (near min RTO)
which defeats the purpose of being conservative on first RTO. However
the metrics still keep the RTT variations as they might be useful for
user applications (through ip).

__GFP_ZERO is an uncommon flag and perhaps is better

so convert the uses of dma_alloc_coherent with __GFP_ZERO
to the more common kernel style with zalloc.

Remove memset from the static inline dma_zalloc_coherent

Trivially reduces the size of the existing uses of

afe4fd0624 pkt_sched: fq: Fair Queue packet scheduler
- Uses perfect flow match (not stochastic hash like SFQ/FQ_codel)
- Uses the new_flow/old_flow separation from FQ_codel
- New flows get an initial credit allowing IW10 without added delay.
- Special FIFO queue for high prio packets (no need for PRIO + FQ)
- Uses a hash table of RB trees to locate the flows at enqueue() time
- Smart on demand gc (at enqueue() time, RB tree lookup evicts old
  unused flows)
- Dynamic memory allocations.
- Designed to allow millions of concurrent flows per Qdisc.
- Small memory footprint : ~8K per Qdisc, and 104 bytes per flow.
- Single high resolution timer for throttled flows (if any).
- One RB tree to link throttled flows.
- Ability to have a max rate per flow. We might add a socket option
  to add per socket limitation.

Attempts have been made to add TCP pacing in TCP stack, but this
seems to add complex code to an already complex stack.

TCP pacing is welcomed for flows having idle times, as the cwnd
permits TCP stack to queue a possibly large number of packets.

This removes the 'slow start after idle' choice, hitting badly
large BDP flows, and applications delivering chunks of data
as video streams.

Nicely spaced packets :
Here interface is 10Gbit, but flow bottleneck is ~20Mbit

cwin is big, yet FQ avoids the typical bursts generated by TCP
(as in netperf TCP_RR -- -r 100000,100000)

TCP timestamps show that most packets from B were queued in the same ms
timeframe (TSval 1159799{3,4}), but FQ managed to send them right
in time to avoid a big burst.

In slow start or steady state, very few packets are throttled [1]

FQ gets a bunch of tunables as :

  limit : max number of packets on whole Qdisc (default 10000)

  flow_limit : max number of packets per flow (default 100)

  quantum : the credit per RR round (default is 2 MTU)

  initial_quantum : initial credit for new flows (default is 10 MTU)

  maxrate : max per flow rate (default : unlimited)

  buckets : number of RB trees (default : 1024) in hash table.
               (consumes 8 bytes per bucket)

  [no]pacing : disable/enable pacing (default is enable)

All of them can be changed on a live qdisc.

$ tc qd add dev eth0 root fq help
Usage: ... fq [ limit PACKETS ] [ flow_limit PACKETS ]

              [ [no]pacing ]

[1] Except if initial srtt is overestimated, as if using
cached srtt in tcp metrics. We'll provide a fix for this issue.
