====================
This set is focused on improving the performance of perf events
reported from BPF offload. Perf events can now be received on
packet data queues, which significantly improves the performance
(from total of 0.5 Msps to 5Msps per core). To get to this
performance we need a fast path for control messages which will
operate on raw buffers and recycle them immediately.
Patch 5 replaces the map pointers for perf maps with map IDs.
We look the pointers up in a hashtable, anyway, to validate they
are correct, so there is no performance difference. Map IDs
have the advantage of being easier to understand for users in
case of errors (we no longer print raw pointers to the logs).
Last patch improves info messages about map offload.

FW can put constraints on map element size to maximize resource
use and efficiency. When user attempts offload of a map which
does not fit into those constraints an informational message is
printed to kernel logs to inform user about the reason offload
failed. Map offload does not have access to any advanced error
reporting like verifier log or extack. There is also currently
no way for us to nicely expose the FW capabilities to user
space. Given all those constraints we should make sure log
messages are as informative as possible. Improve them.

Record perf maps by map ID, not raw kernel pointer. This helps
with debug messages, because printing pointers to logs is frowned
upon, and makes debug easier for the users, as map ID is something
they should be more familiar with. Note that perf maps are offload
neutral, therefore IDs won't be orphaned.
While at it use a rate limited print helper for the error message.

Control queue is fairly low latency, and requires SKB allocations,
which means we can't even reach 0.5Msps with perf events. Allow
perf events to be delivered to data queues. This allows us to not
only use multiple queues, but also receive and deliver to user space
more than 5Msps per queue (Xeon E5-2630 v4 2.20GHz, no retpolines).

Skbprio (SKB Priority Queue) is a queueing discipline that prioritizes packets
according to their skb->priority field. Under congestion, already-enqueued lower
priority packets will be dropped to make space available for higher priority
packets. Skbprio was conceived as a solution for denial-of-service defenses that
need to route packets with different priorities as a means to overcome DoS
attacks.
v5
*Do not reference qdisc_dev(sch)->tx_queue_len for setting limit. Instead set
default sch->limit to 64.
v4
*Drop Documentation/networking/sch_skbprio.txt doc file to move it to tc man
page for Skbprio, in iproute2.
v3
*Drop max_limit parameter in struct skbprio_sched_data and instead use
sch->limit.
*Reference qdisc_dev(sch)->tx_queue_len only once, during initialisation for
qdisc (previously being referenced every time qdisc changes).
*Move qdisc's detailed description from in-code to Documentation/networking.
*When qdisc is saturated, enqueue incoming packet first before dequeueing
lowest priority packet in queue - improves usage of call stack registers.
*Introduce and use overlimit stat to keep track of number of dropped packets.
v2
*Use skb->priority field rather than DS field. Rename queueing discipline as
SKB Priority Queue (previously Gatekeeper Priority Queue).
*Queueing discipline is made classful to expose Skbprio's internal priority
queues.

The cited patch added a call to dev_change_tx_queue_len in
SIOCSIFTXQLEN case.
This obsoletes the new len comparison check done before the function call.
Remove it here.
For the desicion of keep/remove the negative value check, we examine the
range check in dev_change_tx_queue_len.
On 64-bit we will fail with -ERANGE. The 32-bit int ifr_qlen will be sign
extended to 64-bits when it is passed into dev_change_tx_queue_len(). And
then for negative values this test triggers:
if (new_len != (unsigned int)new_len)
return -ERANGE;
because:
if (0xffffffffWHATEVER != 0x00000000WHATEVER)
On 32-bit the signed value will be accepted, changing behavior.
Therefore, the negative value check is kept.

====================
Only a few things:
* HE (802.11ax) support in HWSIM
* bypass TXQ with NDP frames as they're special
* convert ahash -> shash in lib80211 TKIP
* avoid playing with tailroom counter defer unless

As explained in ieee80211_delayed_tailroom_dec(), during roam,
keys of the old AP will be destroyed and new keys will be
installed. Deletion of the old key causes
crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt to go from 1 to 0 and the new key
installation causes a transition from 0 to 1.
Whenever crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt transitions from 0 to 1,
we invoke synchronize_net(); the reason for doing this is to avoid
a race in the TX path as explained in increment_tailroom_need_count().
This synchronize_net() operation can be slow and can affect the station
roam time. To avoid this, decrementing the crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt
is delayed for a while so that upon installation of new key the
transition would be from 1 to 2 instead of 0 to 1 and thereby
improving the roam time.
This is all correct for a STA iftype, but deferring the tailroom_needed
decrement for other iftypes may be unnecessary.
For example, let's consider the case of a 4-addr client connecting to
an AP for which AP_VLAN interface is also created, let the initial
value for tailroom_needed on the AP be 1.
* 4-addr client connects to the AP (AP: tailroom_needed = 1)
* AP will clear old keys, delay decrement of tailroom_needed count
* AP_VLAN is created, it takes the tailroom count from master
(AP_VLAN: tailroom_needed = 1, AP: tailroom_needed = 1)
* Install new key for the station, assume key is plumbed in the HW,
there won't be any change in tailroom_needed count on AP iface
* Delayed decrement of tailroom_needed count on AP
(AP: tailroom_needed = 0, AP_VLAN: tailroom_needed = 1)
Because of the delayed decrement on AP iface, tailroom_needed count goes
out of sync between AP(master iface) and AP_VLAN(slave iface) and
there would be unnecessary tailroom created for the packets going
through AP_VLAN iface.
Also, WARN_ONs were observed while trying to bring down the AP_VLAN
interface:
(warn_slowpath_common) (warn_slowpath_null+0x18/0x20)
(warn_slowpath_null) (ieee80211_free_keys+0x114/0x1e4)
(ieee80211_free_keys) (ieee80211_del_virtual_monitor+0x51c/0x850)
(ieee80211_del_virtual_monitor) (ieee80211_stop+0x30/0x3c)
(ieee80211_stop) (__dev_close_many+0x94/0xb8)
(__dev_close_many) (dev_close_many+0x5c/0xc8)
Restricting delayed decrement to station interface alone fixes the problem
and it makes sense to do so because delayed decrement is done to improve
roam time which is applicable only for client devices.

rds: IPv6 support
This patch set adds IPv6 support to the kernel RDS and related
modules. Existing RDS apps using IPv4 address continue to run without
any problem. New RDS apps which want to use IPv6 address can do so by
passing the address in struct sockaddr_in6 to bind(), connect() or
sendmsg(). And those apps also need to use the new IPv6 equivalents
of some of the existing socket options as the existing options use a
32 bit integer to store IP address.
All RDS code now use struct in6_addr to store IP address. IPv4
address is stored as an IPv4 mapped address.
Header file changes
There are many data structures (RDS socket options) used by RDS apps
which use a 32 bit integer to store IP address. To support IPv6,
struct in6_addr needs to be used. To ensure backward compatibility, a
new data structure is introduced for each of those data structures
which use a 32 bit integer to represent an IP address. And new socket
options are introduced to use those new structures. This means that
existing apps should work without a problem with the new RDS module.
For apps which want to use IPv6, those new data structures and socket
options can be used. IPv4 mapped address is used to represent IPv4
address in the new data structures.
Internally, all RDS data structures which contain an IP address are
changed to use struct in6_addr to store the address. IPv4 address is
stored as an IPv4 mapped address. All the functions which take an IP
address as argument are also changed to use struct in6_addr.
RDS/RDMA/IB uses a private data (struct rds_ib_connect_private)
exchange between endpoints at RDS connection establishment time to
support RDMA. This private data exchange uses a 32 bit integer to
represent an IP address. This needs to be changed in order to support
IPv6. A new private data struct rds6_ib_connect_private is introduced
to handle this. To ensure backward compatibility, an IPv6 capable RDS
stack uses another RDMA listener port (RDS_CM_PORT) to accept IPv6
connection. And it continues to use the original RDS_PORT for IPv4 RDS
connections. When it needs to communicate with an IPv6 peer, it uses
the RDS_TCP_PORT to send the connection set up request.
RDS/TCP changes
TCP related code is changed to support IPv6. Note that only an IPv6
TCP listener on port RDS_TCP_PORT is created as it can accept both
IPv4 and IPv6 connection requests.
IB/RDMA changes
The initial private data exchange between IB endpoints using RDMA is
changed to support IPv6 address instead, if the peer address is IPv6.
To ensure backward compatibility, annother RDMA listener port
(RDS_CM_PORT) is used to accept IPv6 connection. An IPv6 capable RDS
module continues to use the original RDS_PORT for IPv4 RDS
connections. When it needs to communicate with an IPv6 peer, it uses
the RDS_CM_PORT to send the connection set up request.
