Most qdiscs need to read skb->priority at enqueue time().
In commit 100dfa74ca ("net: dev_queue_xmit() llist adoption")
I added a prefetch(next), lets add another one for the second
half of skb.
Note that skb->priority and skb->hash share a common cache line,
so this patch helps qdiscs needing both fields.

prefetch the skb that we are likely to dequeue at the next dequeue().
Also call fq_dequeue_skb() a bit sooner in fq_dequeue().
This reduces the window between read of q.qlen and
changes of fields in the cache line that could be dirtied
by another cpu trying to queue a packet.

When the msk socket is owned or the msk receive buffer is full,
move the incoming skbs in a msk level backlog list. This avoid
traversing the joined subflows and acquiring the subflow level
socket lock at reception time, improving the RX performances.
When processing the backlog, use the fwd alloc memory borrowed from
the incoming subflow. skbs exceeding the msk receive space are
not dropped; instead they are kept into the backlog until the receive
buffer is freed. Dropping packets already acked at the TCP level is
explicitly discouraged by the RFC and would corrupt the data stream
for fallback sockets.
Special care is needed to avoid adding skbs to the backlog of a closed
msk and to avoid leaving dangling references into the backlog
at subflow closing time.

We are soon using it for incoming data processing.
MPTCP can't leverage the sk_backlog, as the latter is processed
before the release callback, and such callback for MPTCP releases
and re-acquire the socket spinlock, breaking the sk_backlog processing
assumption.
Add a skb backlog list inside the mptcp sock struct, and implement
basic helper to transfer packet to and purge such list.
Packets in the backlog are memory accounted and still use the incoming
subflow receive memory, to allow back-pressure. The backlog size is
implicitly bounded to the sum of subflows rcvbuf.
When a subflow is closed, references from the backlog to such sock
are removed.
No packet is currently added to the backlog, so no functional changes
intended here.

In the MPTCP receive path, we release the subflow allocated fwd
memory just to allocate it again shortly after for the msk.
That could increases the failures chances, especially when we will
add backlog processing, with other actions could consume the just
released memory before the msk socket has a chance to do the
rcv allocation.
Replace the skb_orphan() call with an open-coded variant that
explicitly borrows, the fwd memory from the subflow socket instead
of releasing it.
The borrowed memory does not have PAGE_SIZE granularity; rounding to
the page size will make the fwd allocated memory higher than what is
strictly required and could make the incoming subflow fwd mem
consistently negative. Instead, keep track of the accumulated frag and
borrow the full page at subflow close time.
This allow removing the last drop in the TCP to MPTCP transition and
the associated, now unused, MIB.

Currently, as soon as the PM closes a subflow, the msk stops accepting
data from it, even if the TCP socket could be still formally open in the
incoming direction, with the notable exception of the first subflow.
The root cause of such behavior is that code currently piggy back two
separate semantic on the subflow->disposable bit: the subflow context
must be released and that the subflow must stop accepting incoming
data.
The first subflow is never disposed, so it also never stop accepting
incoming data. Use a separate bit to mark the latter status and set such
bit in __mptcp_close_ssk() for all subflows.
Beyond making per subflow behaviour more consistent this will also
simplify the next patch.

Some platforms exhibit very high costs with CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y
when a function needs to pass the address of a local variable to external
functions.
eth_type_trans() (and its callers) is showing this anomaly on AMD EPYC 7B12
platforms (and maybe others).
We could :
1) inline eth_type_trans()
This would help if its callers also has the same issue, and the canary cost
would be paid by the callers already.
This is a bit cumbersome because netdev_uses_dsa() is pulling
whole <net/dsa.h> definitions.
2) Compile net/ethernet/eth.c with -fno-stack-protector
This would weaken security.
3) Hack eth_type_trans() to temporarily use skb->dev as a place holder
if skb_header_pointer() needs to pull 2 bytes not present in skb->head.
This patch implements 3), and brings a 5% improvement on TX/RX intensive
workload (tcp_rr 10,000 flows) on AMD EPYC 7B12.
Removing CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG on this platform can improve

Support querying and resetting to default param values.
Introduce two new devlink netlink attrs:
DEVLINK_ATTR_PARAM_VALUE_DEFAULT and
DEVLINK_ATTR_PARAM_RESET_DEFAULT. The former is used to contain an
optional parameter value inside of the param_value nested
attribute. The latter is used in param-set requests from userspace to
indicate that the driver should reset the param to its default value.
To implement this, two new functions are added to the devlink driver
api: devlink_param::get_default() and
devlink_param::reset_default(). These callbacks allow drivers to
implement default param actions for runtime and permanent cmodes. For
driverinit params, the core latches the last value set by a driver via
devl_param_driverinit_value_set(), and uses that as the default value
for a param.
Because default parameter values are optional, it would be impossible
to discern whether or not a param of type bool has default value of
false or not provided if the default value is encoded using a netlink
flag type. For this reason, when a DEVLINK_PARAM_TYPE_BOOL has an
associated default value, the default value is encoded using a u8
type.

The L2TP stack did not reset the skb control buffer before sending the
encapsulated package.
In a setup with an ath10k radio and batman-adv over an L2TP tunnel
massive fragmentations happen sporadically if the L2TP tunnel is
established over IPv4.
L2TP might reset some of the fields in the IP control buffer, but L2TP
assumes the type of the control buffer to be of an IPv4 packet.
In case the L2TP interface is used as a batadv hardif or the packet is
an IPv6 packet, this assumption breaks.
Clear the entire control buffer to avoid such mishaps altogether.

- Replace NAPI_SKB_CACHE_HALF with NAPI_SKB_CACHE_FREE

Considering a subsequent net_rx_action() calling napi_poll() a few
times can easily consume the 64 available slots and we can afford
keeping a higher value of sk_buffs in per-cpu storage, decrease
NAPI_SKB_CACHE_FREE to 32 like before. So now the logic is 1) keeping

The CI reports sporadic failures of the fastclose self-tests. The root
cause is a duplicate reset, not carrying the relevant MPTCP option.
In the failing scenario the bad reset is received by the peer before
the fastclose one, preventing the reception of the latter.
Indeed there is window of opportunity at fastclose time for the
following race:
mptcp_do_fastclose
__mptcp_close_ssk
__tcp_close()
tcp_set_state() [1]
tcp_send_active_reset() [2]
After [1] the stack will send reset to in-flight data reaching the now
closed port. Such reset may race with [2].
Address the issue explicitly sending a single reset on fastclose before
explicitly moving the subflow to close status.

I'm observing very frequent self-tests failures in case of fallback when
running on a CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel.
The root cause is that subflow_sched_work_if_closed() closes any subflow
as soon as it is half-closed and has no incoming data pending.
That works well for regular subflows - MPTCP needs bi-directional
connectivity to operate on a given subflow - but for fallback socket is
race prone.
When TCP peer closes the connection before the MPTCP one,
subflow_sched_work_if_closed() will schedule the MPTCP worker to
gracefully close the subflow, and shortly after will do another schedule
to inject and process a dummy incoming DATA_FIN.
On CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel, the MPTCP worker can kick-in and close the
fallback subflow before subflow_sched_work_if_closed() is able to create
the dummy DATA_FIN, unexpectedly interrupting the transfer.
Address the issue explicitly avoiding closing fallback subflows on when
the peer is only half-closed.
Note that, when the subflow is able to create the DATA_FIN before the
worker invocation, the worker will change the msk state before trying to
close the subflow and will skip the latter operation as the msk will not
match anymore the precondition in __mptcp_close_subflow().

When an IPv6 Router Advertisement (RA) is received for a prefix, the
kernel creates the corresponding on-link route with flags RTF_ADDRCONF
and RTF_PREFIX_RT configured and RTF_EXPIRES if lifetime is set.
If later a user configures a static IPv6 address on the same prefix the
kernel clears the RTF_EXPIRES flag but it doesn't clear the RTF_ADDRCONF
and RTF_PREFIX_RT. When the next RA for that prefix is received, the
kernel sees the route as RA-learned and wrongly configures back the
lifetime. This is problematic because if the route expires, the static
address won't have the corresponding on-link route.
This fix clears the RTF_ADDRCONF and RTF_PREFIX_RT flags preventing that
the lifetime is configured when the next RA arrives. If the static
address is deleted, the route becomes RA-learned again.
