There exists a bug in the driver where the calculation of the
RSS size was not taking into account the number of traffic classes
enabled. This patch factors in the traffic classes both in
the initial configuration of the table as well as reconfiguration.

Update the driver code so that we do bulk updates of the page reference
count instead of just incrementing it by one reference at a time. The
advantage to doing this is that we cut down on atomic operations and
this in turn should give us a slight improvement in cycles per packet.
In addition if we eventually move this over to using build_skb the gains
will be more noticeable.
I also found and fixed a store forwarding stall from where we were
assigning "*new_buff = *old_buff". By breaking it up into individual
copies we can avoid this and as a result the performance is slightly
improved.

If the device for a nexthop in a multipath route is deleted, the nexthop
is effectively removed from the route. Currently, a route dump still
returns the nexhop though without the device set:
$ ip -f mpls ro ls
100
nexthopvia inet 10.11.1.2 dev br0
nexthopvia inet 10.100.3.1 dev eth3
$ ip li del br0
$ ip -f mpls ro ls
100
nexthopvia inet 10.11.1.2 dev * dead linkdown
nexthopvia inet 10.100.3.1 dev eth3
Since the nexthop is effectively deleted, drop the hop from the route
dump.

GTP SGSN-side tunnel
Changes since v4:

The GTP-tunnel driver is explicitly GGSN-side as it searches for PDP
contexts based on the incoming packets _destination_ address. If we
want to place ourselves on the SGSN side of the tunnel, then we want
to be identifying PDP contexts based on _source_ address.
Let it be noted that in a "real" configuration this module would never
be used: the SGSN normally does not see IP packets as input. The
justification for this functionality is for PGW load-testing applications
where the input to the SGSN is locally generally IP traffic.
This patch adds a "role" argument at GTP-link creation time to specify
whether we are on the GGSN or SGSN side of the tunnel; this flag is then
used to determine which part of the IP packet to use in determining
the PDP context.

This is a mostly cosmetic rename of the SGSN netlink attribute to
the GTP link. The justification for this is that we will be making
the module support decapsulation of "downstream" SGSN packets, in
which case the netlink parameter actually refers to the upstream GGSN
peer. Renaming the parameter makes the relationship clearer.
The legacy name is maintained as a define in the header file in order
to not break existing code.

net: usb: qmi_wwan: add qmap mux protocol support
This patch adds support for qmap mux protocol available in recent
Qualcomm based modems.
The qmap mux protocol can be used for multiplexing data packets in
order to have multiple ip streams through the same physical device.
Two new sysfs files are added for adding/removing the qmap mux based
interfaces (named qmimux):
/sys/class/net/<iface>/qmi/add_mux
/sys/class/net/<iface>/qmi/del_mux
Main patch author is Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no>
An userspace implementation of the qmi requests needed to support
multiple ip streams is already available (namely libqmi since
version 1.18.0).
The qmap mux feature has been recently implemented in Codeaurora
gobinet out-of-kernel driver that was the inspiration for this
development.
Tests have been performed with Telit LE922A6 (PID 0x1040)

====================
Add busy poll support for epoll
This patch set adds support for using busy polling with epoll. The main
idea behind this is that we record the NAPI ID for the last event that is
moved onto the ready list for the epoll context and then when we no longer
have any events on the ready list we begin polling with that ID. If the
busy polling does not yield any events then we will reset the NAPI ID to 0
and wait until a new event is added to the ready list with a valid NAPI ID
before we will resume busy polling.
Most of the changes in this set authored by me are meant to be cleanup or
fixes for various things. For example, I am trying to make it so that we
don't perform hash look-ups for the NAPI instance when we are only working
with sender_cpu and the like.
At the heart of this set is the last 3 patches which enable epoll support
and add support for obtaining the NAPI ID of a given socket. With these it
becomes possible for an application to make use of epoll and get optimal
busy poll utilization by stacking multiple sockets with the same NAPI ID on
the same epoll context.
v1: The first version of this series only allowed epoll to busy poll if all
of the sockets with a NAPI ID shared the same NAPI ID. I feel we were
too strict with this requirement, so I changed the behavior for v2.
v2: The second version was pretty much a full rewrite of the first set. The
main changes consisted of pulling apart several patches to better
address the need to clean up a few items and to make the code easier to
review. In the set however I went a bit overboard and was trying to fix
an issue that would only occur with 500+ years of uptime, and in the
process limited the range for busy_poll/busy_read unnecessarily.
v3: Split off the code for limiting busy_poll and busy_read into a separate
patch for net.
Updated patch that changed busy loop time tracking so that it uses
"local_clock() >> 10" as we originally did.
Tweaked "Change return type.." patch by moving declaration of "work"
inside the loop where is was accessed and always reset to 0.
Added "Acked-by" for patches that received acks.

This socket option returns the NAPI ID associated with the queue on which
the last frame is received. This information can be used by the apps to
split the incoming flows among the threads based on the Rx queue on which
they are received.
If the NAPI ID actually represents a sender_cpu then the value is ignored
and 0 is returned.

This patch adds busy poll support to epoll. The implementation is meant to
be opportunistic in that it will take the NAPI ID from the last socket
that is added to the ready list that contains a valid NAPI ID and it will
use that for busy polling until the ready list goes empty. Once the ready
list goes empty the NAPI ID is reset and busy polling is disabled until a
new socket is added to the ready list.
In addition when we insert a new socket into the epoll we record the NAPI
ID and assume we are going to receive events on it. If that doesn't occur
it will be evicted as the active NAPI ID and we will resume normal
behavior.
An application can use SO_INCOMING_CPU or SO_REUSEPORT_ATTACH_C/EBPF socket
options to spread the incoming connections to specific worker threads
based on the incoming queue. This enables epoll for each worker thread
to have only sockets that receive packets from a single queue. So when an
application calls epoll_wait() and there are no events available to report,
busy polling is done on the associated queue to pull the packets.

This patch flips the logic we were using to determine if the busy polling
has timed out. The main motivation for this is that we will need to
support two different possible timeout values in the future and by
recording the start time rather than when we would want to end we can focus
on making the end_time specific to the task be it epoll or socket based
polling.

Instead of defining two versions of skb_mark_napi_id I think it is more
readable to just match the format of the sk_mark_napi_id functions and just
wrap the contents of the function instead of defining two versions of the

the ifdef/endif but needed 5 for the extra function declaration.

While working on some recent busy poll changes we found that child sockets
were being instantiated without NAPI ID being set. In our first attempt to
fix it, it was suggested that we should just pull programming the NAPI ID
into the function itself since all callers will need to have it set.
In addition to the NAPI ID change I have dropped the code that was
populating the Rx hash since it was actually being populated in
tcp_get_cookie_sock.

This patch is a cleanup/fix for NAPI IDs following the changes that made it
so that sender_cpu and napi_id were doing a better job of sharing the same
location in the sk_buff.
One issue I found is that we weren't validating the napi_id as being valid
before we started trying to setup the busy polling. This change corrects
that by using the MIN_NAPI_ID value that is now used in both allocating the
NAPI IDs, as well as validating them.

We already use dst_cache in seg6_output, when handling locally generated
packets. We extend it in seg6_input, to also handle forwarded packets, and avoid
unnecessary fib lookups.

To insert or encapsulate a packet with an SRH, we need a large enough skb
headroom. Currently, we are using pskb_expand_head to inconditionally increase
the size of the headroom by the amount needed by the SRH (and IPv6 header).
If this reallocation is performed by another CPU than the one that initially
allocated the skb, then when the initial CPU kfree the skb, it will enter the
__slab_free slowpath, impacting performances.
This patch replaces pskb_expand_head with skb_cow_head, that will reallocate the
skb head only if the headroom is not large enough.

Use setup_deferrable_timer() instead of init_timer_deferrable() to
simplify the code.
