net: move netdev_max_backlog to net_hotdata

netdev_max_backlog is used in rx fat path.

Move it to net_hodata for better cache locality.

net: drop the weight argument from netif_napi_add

We tell driver developers to always pass NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT
as the weight to netif_napi_add(). This may be confusing
to newcomers, drop the weight argument, those who really
need to tweak the weight can use netif_napi_add_weight().

net: Fix data-races around netdev_max_backlog.

While reading netdev_max_backlog, it can be changed concurrently.
Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its readers.

While at it, we remove the unnecessary spaces in the doc.

net: add per-cpu storage and net->core_stats

Before adding yet another possibly contended atomic_long_t,
it is time to add per-cpu storage for existing ones:
dev->tx_dropped, dev->rx_dropped, and dev->rx_nohandler

Because many devices do not have to increment such counters,
allocate the per-cpu storage on demand, so that dev_get_stats()
does not have to spend considerable time folding zero counters.

Note that some drivers have abused these counters which
were supposed to be only used by core networking stack.

v4: should use per_cpu_ptr() in dev_get_stats() (Jakub)
v3: added a READ_ONCE() in netdev_core_stats_alloc() (Paolo)
v2: add a missing include (reported by kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>)
Change in netdev_core_stats_alloc() (Jakub)

gro_cells: avoid using synchronize_rcu() in gro_cells_destroy()

Another thing making netns dismantles potentially very slow is located
in gro_cells_destroy(),
whenever cleanup_net() has to remove a device using gro_cells framework.

RTNL is not held at this stage, so synchronize_net()
is calling synchronize_rcu():

netdev_run_todo()
ip_tunnel_dev_free()
gro_cells_destroy()
synchronize_net()
synchronize_rcu() // Ouch.

This patch uses call_rcu(), and gave me a 25x performance improvement
in my tests.

cleanup_net() is no longer blocked ~10 ms per synchronize_rcu()
call.

In the case we could not allocate the memory needed to queue the
deferred free, use synchronize_rcu_expedited()

v2: made percpu_free_defer_callback() static

gro_cells: reduce number of synchronize_net() calls

After cited commit, gro_cells_destroy() became damn slow
on hosts with a lot of cores.

This is because we have one additional synchronize_net() per cpu as
stated in the changelog.

gro_cells_init() is setting NAPI_STATE_NO_BUSY_POLL, and this was enough
to not have one synchronize_net() call per netif_napi_del()

We can factorize all the synchronize_net() to a single one,
right before freeing per-cpu memory.

gro_cells: make sure device is up in gro_cells_receive()

We keep receiving syzbot reports [1] that show that tunnels do not play
the rcu/IFF_UP rules properly.

At device dismantle phase, gro_cells_destroy() will be called
only after a full rcu grace period is observed after IFF_UP
has been cleared.

This means that IFF_UP needs to be tested before queueing packets
into netif_rx() or gro_cells.

This patch implements the test in gro_cells_receive() because
too many callers do not seem to bother enough.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

net: Generic XDP

This provides a generic SKB based non-optimized XDP path which is used
if either the driver lacks a specific XDP implementation, or the user
requests it via a new IFLA_XDP_FLAGS value named XDP_FLAGS_SKB_MODE.

It is arguable that perhaps I should have required something like
this as part of the initial XDP feature merge.

I believe this is critical for two reasons:

1) Accessibility. More people can play with XDP with less
dependencies. Yes I know we have XDP support in virtio_net, but
that just creates another depedency for learning how to use this
facility.

I wrote this to make life easier for the XDP newbies.

2) As a model for what the expected semantics are. If there is a pure
generic core implementation, it serves as a semantic example for
driver folks adding XDP support.

One thing I have not tried to address here is the issue of
XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM, thanks to Daniel for spotting that. It seems
incredibly expensive to do a skb_cow(skb, XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM) or
whatever even if the XDP program doesn't try to push headers at all.
I think we really need the verifier to somehow propagate whether
certain XDP helpers are used or not.

v5:
- Handle both negative and positive offset after running prog
- Fix mac length in XDP_TX case (Alexei)
- Use rcu_dereference_protected() in free_netdev (kbuild test robot)

v4:
- Fix MAC header adjustmnet before calling prog (David Ahern)
- Disable LRO when generic XDP is installed (Michael Chan)
- Bypass qdisc et al. on XDP_TX and record the event (Alexei)
- Do not perform generic XDP on reinjected packets (DaveM)

v3:
- Make sure XDP program sees packet at MAC header, push back MAC
header if we do XDP_TX. (Alexei)
- Elide GRO when generic XDP is in use. (Alexei)
- Add XDP_FLAG_SKB_MODE flag which the user can use to request generic
XDP even if the driver has an XDP implementation. (Alexei)
- Report whether SKB mode is in use in rtnl_xdp_fill() via XDP_FLAGS
attribute. (Daniel)

v2:
- Add some "fall through" comments in switch statements based
upon feedback from Andrew Lunn
- Use RCU for generic xdp_prog, thanks to Johannes Berg.

gro_cells: move to net/core/gro_cells.c

We have many gro cells users, so lets move the code to avoid
duplication.

This creates a CONFIG_GRO_CELLS option.
