This action allows for a sending side to encapsulate arbitrary metadata
which is decapsulated by the receiving end.
The sender runs in encoding mode and the receiver in decode mode.
Both sender and receiver must specify the same ethertype.
At some point we hope to have a registered ethertype and we'll
then provide a default so the user doesnt have to specify it.
For now we enforce the user specify it.

Allow for more multicast router port information to be dumped such as
timer and type attributes. For that that purpose we need to extend the
MDBA_ROUTER_PORT attribute similar to how it was done for the mdb entries
recently. The new format is thus:
[MDBA_ROUTER_PORT] = { <- nested attribute
u32 ifindex <- router port ifindex for user-space compatibility
[MDBA_ROUTER_PATTR attributes]
}
This way it remains compatible with older users (they'll simply retrieve
the u32 in the beginning) and new users can parse the remaining
attributes. It would also allow to add future extensions to the router
port without breaking compatibility.

Calling ib_poll_cq() to sort through WCs during a completion is a
common pattern amongst RDMA consumers. Since commit 14d3a3b249
("IB: add a proper completion queue abstraction"), WC sorting can
be handled by the IB core.
By converting to this new API, svcrdma is made a better neighbor to
other RDMA consumers, as it allows the core to schedule the delivery
of completions more fairly amongst all active consumers.
This new API also aims each completion at a function that is
specific to the WR's opcode. Thus the ctxt->wr_op field and the
switch in process_context is replaced by a set of methods that
handle each completion type.
Because each ib_cqe carries a pointer to a completion method, the
core can now post operations on a consumer's QP, and handle the
completions itself.
The server's rdma_stat_sq_poll and rdma_stat_sq_prod metrics are no
longer updated.

associated locking is removed, as they are no longer referenced or

RFC 5666 Section 4.2 states:
> When the peer detects an RPC-over-RDMA header version that it does
> not support (currently this document defines only version 1), it
> replies with an error code of ERR_VERS, and provides the low and
> high inclusive version numbers it does, in fact, support.
And:
> When other decoding errors are detected in the header or chunks,
> either an RPC decode error MAY be returned or the RPC/RDMA error
> code ERR_CHUNK MUST be returned.
The Linux NFS server does throw ERR_VERS when a client sends it
a request whose rdma_version is not "one." But it does not return
ERR_CHUNK when a header decoding error occurs. It just drops the
request.
To improve protocol extensibility, it should reject invalid values
in the rdma_proc field instead of treating them all like RDMA_MSG.
Otherwise clients can't detect when the server doesn't support
new rdma_proc values.

When constructing an error reply, svc_rdma_xdr_encode_error()

failing request's XID.
svc_rdma_xdr_decode_req() is supposed to return a pointer to the
client's request header. But if it fails to decode the client's
message (and thus an error reply is needed) it does not return the
pointer. The server then sends a bogus XID in the error reply.
Instead, unconditionally generate the pointer to the client's header
in svc_rdma_recvfrom(), and pass that pointer to both functions.

The maximum size of a backchannel message on RPC-over-RDMA depends
on the connection's inline threshold. Today that threshold is
typically 1024 bytes, making the maximum message size 996 bytes.
The Linux server's CREATE_SESSION operation checks that the size
of callback Calls can be as large as 1044 bytes, to accommodate
RPCSEC_GSS. Thus CREATE_SESSION fails if a client advertises the
true message size maximum of 996 bytes.
But the server's backchannel currently does not support RPCSEC_GSS.
The actual maximum size it needs is much smaller. It is safe to
reduce the limit to enable NFSv4.1 on RDMA backchannel operation.

The NFS server's XDR encoders adds an XDR pad for content in the
xdr_buf page list at the beginning of the xdr_buf's tail buffer.
On RDMA transports, Write chunks are sent separately and without an
XDR pad.
If a Write chunk is being sent, strip off the pad in the tail buffer
so that inline content following the Write chunk remains XDR-aligned
when it is sent to the client.

When the Linux NFS server writes an odd-length data item into a
Write chunk, it finishes with XDR pad bytes. If the data item is
smaller than the Write chunk, the pad bytes are written at the end
of the data item, but still inside the chunk (ie, in the
application's buffer). Since this is direct data placement, that
exposes the pad bytes.
XDR pad bytes are inserted in order to preserve the XDR alignment
of the next XDR data item in an XDR stream. But Write chunks do not
appear in the payload XDR stream, and only one data item is allowed
in each chunk. Thus XDR padding is not needed in a Write chunk.
With NFSv4, the Linux NFS server places the results of any
operations that follow an NFSv4 READ or READLINK in the xdr_buf's
tail. Those results also should never be sent as a part of a Write
chunk. The current logic in send_write_chunks() appears to assume
that the xdr_buf's tail contains only pad bytes (ie, NFSv3).
The server should write only the contents of the xdr_buf's page list
in a Write chunk. If there's more than an XDR pad in the tail, that
needs to go inline or in the Reply chunk.

The client provides the location of Write chunks into which the
server writes bulk payload. The client provides these when the
Upper Layer Protocol wants direct data placement and the Binding
allows it. (For NFS, this is READ and READLINK operations).
The client also provides the location of a Reply chunk into which
the server writes the non-bulk part of an RPC reply. The client
provides this chunk whenever it believes the reply can be larger
than its receive buffers.
The server then uses the presence of these chunks to determine how
it will form its reply message.
svc_rdma_sendto() was looking for Write and Reply chunks multiple
times for every reply message. It would be more efficient to do it
just once.

In the initial implementation the only way to stop a rule from being
inserted into the hardware table was via the device feature flag.
However this doesn't work well when working on an end host system
where packets are expect to hit both the hardware and software
datapaths.
For example we can imagine a rule that will match an IP address and
increment a field. If we install this rule in both hardware and
software we may increment the field twice. To date we have only
added support for the drop action so we have been able to ignore
these cases. But as we extend the action support we will hit this
example plus more such cases. Arguably these are not even corner
cases in many working systems these cases will be common.
To avoid forcing the driver to always abort (i.e. the above example)
this patch adds a flag to add a rule in software only. A careful
user can use this flag to build software and hardware datapaths
that work together. One example we have found particularly useful
is to use hardware resources to set the skb->mark on the skb when
the match may be expensive to run in software but a mark lookup
in a hash table is cheap. The idea here is hardware can do in one
lookup what the u32 classifier may need to traverse multiple lists
and hash tables to compute. The flag is only passed down on inserts.
On deletion to avoid stale references in hardware we always try
to remove a rule if it exists.
The flags field is part of the classifier specific options. Although
it is tempting to lift this into the generic structure doing this
proves difficult do to how the tc netlink attributes are implemented
along with how the dump/change routines are called. There is also
precedence for putting seemingly generic pieces in the specific
classifier options such as TCA_U32_POLICE, TCA_U32_ACT, etc. So
although not ideal I've left FLAGS in the u32 options as well as it
simplifies the code greatly and user space has already learned how
to manage these bits ala 'tc' tool.
Another thing if trying to update a rule we require the flags to
be unchanged. This is to force user space, software u32 and
the hardware u32 to keep in sync. Thanks to Simon Horman for
catching this case.

Public Action frames use special rules for how the BSSID field (Address

Public Action frames with wildcard BSSID.
Commit db8e173245 ("mac80211: ignore frames between TDLS peers when

based on an Action frame having different DA (Address 1) and BSSID
(Address 3) values. This is not correct since it misses the possibility
of BSSID being a wildcard BSSID in which case the Address 1 would not
necessarily match.
Fix this by allowing mac80211 to accept wildcard BSSID in an Action

1) a new member of the elp_neigh_node structure stores the
last time a unicast packet was sent towards this neighbour;
2) a wrapper function for sending unicast packets is
implemented. This function will simply update the member
describe din point 1) and then forward the packet to the
real sending routine.
Point 2) implies that any code-path leading to a unicast
sending now has to use the new wrapper.

This attribute is exported to user space to disable the link
throughput auto-detection by setting a fixed value.
The throughput override value is used when batman-adv is
computing the link throughput towards a neighbour.
If the value is set to 0 then batman-adv will try to detect
the throughput by itself.

This is the initial implementation of the new OGM protocol
(version 2). It has been designed to work on top of the
newly added ELP.
In the previous version the OGM protocol was used to both
measure link qualities and flood the network with the metric
information. In this version the protocol is in charge of
the latter task only, leaving the former to ELP.
This means being able to decouple the interval used by the
neighbor discovery from the OGM broadcasting, which revealed
to be costly in dense networks and needed to be relaxed so
leading to a less responsive routing protocol.

This parameter can be set individually on each interface and
allows the configuration of the elp interval for the link
quality measurements during runtime. Usually it is desirable
to set it to a higher (= slower) value on interfaces which
have a more static characteristic (e.g. wired interfaces)
or very dense neighbourhoods to reduce overhead.

The B.A.T.M.A.N. protocol originally only used a single
message type (called OGM) to determine the link qualities to
the direct neighbors and spreading these link quality
information through the whole mesh. This procedure is
summarized on the BATMAN concept page and explained in
details in the RFC draft published in 2008.
This approach was chosen for its simplicity during the
protocol design phase and the implementation. However, it
also bears some drawbacks:
* Wireless interfaces usually come with some packet loss,
therefore a higher broadcast rate is desirable to allow
a fast reaction on flaky connections.
Other interfaces of the same host might be connected to
Ethernet LANs / VPNs / etc which rarely exhibit packet
loss would benefit from a lower broadcast rate to reduce
overhead.
* It generally is more desirable to detect local link
quality changes at a faster rate than propagating all
these changes through the entire mesh (the far end of
the mesh does not need to care about local link quality
changes that much). Other optimizations strategies, like
reducing overhead, might be possible if OGMs weren't
used for all tasks in the mesh at the same time.
As a result detecting local link qualities shall be handled
by an independent message type, ELP, whereas the OGM message
type remains responsible for flooding the mesh with these
link quality information and determining the overall path
transmit qualities.

This allows us to easily add a sysfs parameter for an
unsigned int later, which is not for a batman mesh interface
(e.g. bat0), but for a common interface instead. It allows
reading and writing an atomic_t in hard_iface (instead of
bat_priv compared to the mesh variant).
