Add a sysctl that causes an interface's optimistic addresses
to be considered equivalent to other non-deprecated addresses
for source address selection purposes. Preferred addresses
will still take precedence over optimistic addresses, subject
to other ranking in the source address selection algorithm.
This is useful where different interfaces are connected to
different networks from different ISPs (e.g., a cell network
and a home wifi network).
The current behaviour complies with RFC 3484/6724, and it
makes sense if the host has only one interface, or has
multiple interfaces on the same network (same or cooperating
administrative domain(s), but not in the multiple distinct
networks case.
For example, if a mobile device has an IPv6 address on an LTE
network and then connects to IPv6-enabled wifi, while the wifi
IPv6 address is undergoing DAD, IPv6 connections will try use
the wifi default route with the LTE IPv6 address, and will get
stuck until they time out.
Also, because optimistic nodes can receive frames, issue
an RTM_NEWADDR as soon as DAD starts (with the IFA_F_OPTIMSTIC
flag appropriately set). A second RTM_NEWADDR is sent if DAD
completes (the address flags have changed), otherwise an
RTM_DELADDR is sent.
Also: add an entry in ip-sysctl.txt for optimistic_dad.

While testing upcoming Yaogong patch (converting out of order queue
into an RB tree), I hit the max reordering level of linux TCP stack.
Reordering level was limited to 127 for no good reason, and some
network setups [1] can easily reach this limit and get limited
throughput.
Allow a new max limit of 300, and add a sysctl to allow admins to even
allow bigger (or lower) values if needed.

This patch generalizes commit d6a4a10411 ("tcp: GSO should be TSQ
friendly") to protocols using skb_set_owner_w()
TCP uses its own destructor (tcp_wfree) and needs a more complex scheme
as explained in commit 6ff50cd555 ("tcp: gso: do not generate out of
order packets")
This allows UDP sockets using UFO to get proper backpressure,
thus avoiding qdisc drops and excessive cpu usage.

The hardware can automatically generate pause frames when the number
of free buffers drops under a certain threshold, but in order to do this,
the address of the last free buffer needs to be written to a specific
register for each RX queue.
This has to be done in 'gfar_clean_rx_ring' which is called for each
RX queue. In order not to impact performance, by adding a register write
for each incoming packet, this operation is done only when the PAUSE frame
transmission is enabled.
Whenever the link is readjusted, this capability is turned on or off.

Local flow control options needed in order to resolve the negotiation
are incorrectly calculated.
Previously 'mii_advertise_flowctrl' was called to determine the local advertising
options, but these were determined based on FLOW_CTRL_RX/TX flags which are
never set through ethtool.
The patch simply translates from ethtool flow options to mii flow options.

The original motivation for this change was to allow the helper to be used
in files other than actions.c as part of work on an odp select group
action.
It was as pointed out by Thomas Graf that this helper would be best off
living in netlink.h. Furthermore, I think that the generic nature of this
helper means it is best off in netlink.h regardless of if it is used more
than one .c file or not. Thus, I would like it considered independent of
the work on an odp select group action.

This feature is defined in IEEE Std 802.11-2012, 10.23.13. It allows
the AP devices to keep track of the hardware-address-to-IP-address
mapping of the mobile devices within the WLAN network.
The AP will learn this mapping via observing DHCP, ARP, and NS/NA
frames. When a request for such information is made (i.e. ARP request,
Neighbor Solicitation), the AP will respond on behalf of the
associated mobile device. In the process of doing so, the AP will drop
the multicast request frame that was intended to go out to the wireless
medium.
It was recommended at the LKS workshop to do this implementation in
the bridge layer. vxlan.c is already doing something very similar.
The DHCP snooping code will be added to the userspace application
(hostapd) per the recommendation.
This RFC commit is only for IPv4. A similar approach in the bridge
layer will be taken for IPv6 as well.

A full Rx ring only requires 1 MiB of memory. This is not enough
memory that it is useful to dynamically scale the number of Rx
requests in the ring based on traffic rates, because:
a) Even the full 1 MiB is a tiny fraction of a typically modern Linux
VM (for example, the AWS micro instance still has 1 GiB of memory).
b) Netfront would have used up to 1 MiB already even with moderate
data rates (there was no adjustment of target based on memory
pressure).
c) Small VMs are going to typically have one VCPU and hence only one
queue.
Keeping the ring full of Rx requests handles bursty traffic better
than trying to converge on an optimal number of requests to keep
filled.
On a 4 core host, an iperf -P 64 -t 60 run from dom0 to a 4 VCPU guest
improved from 5.1 Gbit/s to 5.6 Gbit/s. Gains with more bursty
traffic are expected to be higher.
