Commit 971f10eca186 ("tcp: better TCP_SKB_CB layout to reduce cache line
misses") added a regression for SO_BINDTODEVICE on IPv6.

This is because we still use inet6_iif() which expects that IP6 control
block is still at the beginning of skb-&gt;cb[]

This patch adds tcp_v6_iif() helper and uses it where necessary.

Because __inet6_lookup_skb() is used by TCP and DCCP, we add an iif
parameter to it.

Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on percpu front.  Notable changes are...

   - percpu allocator now can take @gfp.  If @gfp doesn't contain
     GFP_KERNEL, it tries to allocate from what's already available to
     the allocator and a work item tries to keep the reserve around
     certain level so that these atomic allocations usually succeed.

     This will replace the ad-hoc percpu memory pool used by
     blk-throttle and also be used by the planned blkcg support for
     writeback IOs.

     Please note that I noticed a bug in how @gfp is interpreted while
     preparing this pull request and applied the fix 6ae833c7fe0c
     ("percpu: fix how @gfp is interpreted by the percpu allocator")
     just now.

   - percpu_ref now uses longs for percpu and global counters instead of
     ints.  It leads to more sparse packing of the percpu counters on
     64bit machines but the overhead should be negligible and this
     allows using percpu_ref for refcnting pages and in-memory objects
     directly.

   - The switching between percpu and single counter modes of a
     percpu_ref is made independent of putting the base ref and a
     percpu_ref can now optionally be initialized in single or killed
     mode.  This allows avoiding percpu shutdown latency for cases where
     the refcounted objects may be synchronously created and destroyed
     in rapid succession with only a fraction of them reaching fully
     operational status (SCSI probing does this when combined with
     blk-mq support).  It's also planned to be used to implement forced
     single mode to detect underflow more timely for debugging.

  There's a separate branch percpu/for-3.18-consistent-ops which cleans
  up the duplicate percpu accessors.  That branch causes a number of
  conflicts with s390 and other trees.  I'll send a separate pull
  request w/ resolutions once other branches are merged"

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "Most notable changes in here:

   1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of
      contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit.  This is
      the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of
      several individuals.

      Now, when the -&gt;ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees
      skb-&gt;xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell
      telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires.

      skb-&gt;xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to
      call the driver immediately with another SKB to send.

      There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple
      packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in
      software is now done with no locks held.

      Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can
      be used to test a multi-send implementation.

      Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4,
      virtio_net

      Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to
      support this optimization soon.

      I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper
      Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal
      Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann,
      David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell.

   2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon.

   3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via
      ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver.  From
      Govindarajulu Varadarajan.

   4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx
      driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from
      Florian Fainelli.

   5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers
      to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA
      into pools of pages.  The objective is to get exactly the
      necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled,
      but no more.  The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen().
      From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own
      by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric
      Dumazet.

   6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for
      encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility.  From Tom
      Herbert.

   7) Add Broadcom SF2 switch driver to DSA layer, from Florian
      Fainelli.

   8) eBPF now can load programs via a system call and has an extensive
      testsuite.  Alexei Starovoitov and Daniel Borkmann.

   9) Major overhaul of the packet scheduler to use RCU in several major
      areas such as the classifiers and rate estimators.  From John
      Fastabend.

  10) Add driver for Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch, from Alexander
      Duyck.

  11) Rearrange TCP_SKB_CB() to reduce cache line misses, from Eric
      Dumazet.

  12) Add Datacenter TCP congestion control algorithm support, From
      Florian Westphal.

  13) Reorganize sk_buff so that __copy_skb_header() is significantly
      faster.  From Eric Dumazet"

Pull dmaengine updates from Dan Williams:
 "Even though this has fixes marked for -stable, given the size and the
  needed conflict resolutions this is 3.18-rc1/merge-window material.

  These patches have been languishing in my tree for a long while.  The
  fact that I do not have the time to do proper/prompt maintenance of
  this tree is a primary factor in the decision to step down as
  dmaengine maintainer.  That and the fact that the bulk of drivers/dma/
  activity is going through Vinod these days.

  The net_dma removal has not been in -next.  It has developed simple
  conflicts against mainline and net-next (for-3.18).

  Continuing thanks to Vinod for staying on top of drivers/dma/.

  Summary:

   1/ Step down as dmaengine maintainer see commit 08223d80df38

   2/ Removal of net_dma, as it has been marked 'broken' since 3.13

      performance regression.

ipv6_opt_accepted() assumes IP6CB(skb) holds the struct inet6_skb_parm
that it needs. Lets not assume this, as TCP stack might use a different
place.

Per commit "77873803363c net_dma: mark broken" net_dma is no longer used
and there is no plan to fix it.

This is the mechanical removal of bits in CONFIG_NET_DMA ifdef guards.
Reverting the remainder of the net_dma induced changes is deferred to
subsequent patches.

Marked for stable due to Roman's report of a memory leak in
dma_pin_iovec_pages():

<title>percpu_counter: add @gfp to percpu_counter_init()</title>

<id>908c7f1949cb7cc6e92ba8f18f2998e87e265b8e</id>
<content type='text'>
Percpu allocator now supports allocation mask.  Add @gfp to
percpu_counter_init() so that !GFP_KERNEL allocation masks can be used
with percpu_counters too.

We could have left percpu_counter_init() alone and added
percpu_counter_init_gfp(); however, the number of users isn't that
high and introducing _gfp variants to all percpu data structures would
be quite ugly, so let's just do the conversion.  This is the one with
the most users.  Other percpu data structures are a lot easier to
convert.

This patch doesn't make any functional difference.
