When disable/enable scan command is issued twice, some controllers
will return an error for the second request, i.e. requests with this
command will fail on some controllers, and succeed on others.
This patch makes sure that unnecessary scan disable/enable commands
are not issued.
When adding device to the auto connect whitelist when there is pending
connect attempt, there is no need to update scan.
hci_connect_le_scan_cleanup is conditionally executing
hci_conn_params_del, that is calling hci_update_background_scan. Make
the other case also update scan, and remove reduntand call from
hci_connect_le_scan_remove.
When stopping interleaved discovery the state should be set to stopped
only when both LE scanning and discovery has stopped.

The change made in the previous commit revealed a small flaw in the way
the node FSM is updated. When the function tipc_node_link_down() is
called for the last link to a node, we should check whether this was
caused by a local reset or by a received RESET message from the peer.
In the latter case, we can directly issue a PEER_LOST_CONTACT_EVT to
the node FSM, so that it is ready to re-establish contact. If this is
not done, the peer node will sometimes have to go through a second
establish cycle before the link becomes stable.
We fix this in this commit by conditionally issuing the mentioned
event in the function tipc_node_link_down(). We also move LINK_RESET
FSM even away from the link_reset() function and into the caller
function, partially because it is easier to follow the code when state
changes are gathered at a limited number of locations, partially
because there will be cases in future commits where we don't want the
link to go RESET mode when link_reset() is called.

When a link is taken down because of a node local event, such as
disabling of a bearer or an interface, we currently leave it to the
peer node to discover the broken communication. The default time for
such failure discovery is 1.5-2 seconds.
If we instead allow the terminating link endpoint to send out a RESET
message at the moment it is reset, we can achieve the impression that
both endpoints are going down instantly. Since this is a very common
scenario, we find it worthwhile to make this small modification.
Apart from letting the link produce the said message, we also have to
ensure that the interface is able to transmit it before TIPC is
detached. We do this by performing the disabling of a bearer in three
steps:
1) Disable reception of TIPC packets from the interface in question.
2) Take down the links, while allowing them so send out a RESET message.
3) Disable transmission of TIPC packets on the interface.
Apart from this, we now have to react on the NETDEV_GOING_DOWN event,
instead of as currently the NEDEV_DOWN event, to ensure that such
transmission is possible during the teardown phase.

Link establishing, just like link teardown, is a non-atomic action, in
the sense that discovering that conditions are right to establish a link,
and the actual adding of the link to one of the node's send slots is done
in two different lock contexts. The link FSM is designed to help bridging
the gap between the two contexts in a safe manner.
We have now discovered a weakness in the implementaton of this FSM.
Because we directly let the link go from state LINK_ESTABLISHING to
state LINK_ESTABLISHED already in the first lock context, we are unable
to distinguish between a fully established link, i.e., a link that has
been added to its slot, and a link that has not yet reached the second
lock context. It may hence happen that a manual intervention, e.g., when
disabling an interface, causes the function tipc_node_link_down() to try
removing the link from the node slots, decrementing its active link
counter etc, although the link was never added there in the first place.
We solve this by delaying the actual state change until we reach the
second lock context, inside the function tipc_node_link_up(). This
makes it possible for potentail callers of __tipc_node_link_down() to
know if they should proceed or not, and the problem is solved.
Unforunately, the situation described above also has a second problem.
Since there by necessity is a tipc_node_link_up() call pending once
the node lock has been released, we must defuse that call by setting
the link back from LINK_ESTABLISHING to LINK_RESET state. This forces
us to make a slight modification to the link FSM, which will now look
as follows.

After the previous commits, we are guaranteed that no packets
of type LINK_PROTOCOL or with illegal sequence numbers will be
attempted added to the link deferred queue. This makes it possible to
make some simplifications to the sorting algorithm in the function
tipc_skb_queue_sorted().
We also alter the function so that it will drop packets if one with
the same seqeunce number is already present in the queue. This is
necessary because we have identified weird packet sequences, involving
duplicate packets, where a legitimate in-sequence packet may advance to
the head of the queue without being detected and de-queued.
Finally, we make this function outline, since it will now be called only
in exceptional cases.

The sequence number of an incoming packet is currently only checked
for less than, equality to, or bigger than the next expected number,
meaning that the receive window in practice becomes one half sequence
number cycle, or U16_MAX/2. This does not make sense, and may not even
be safe if there are extreme delays in the network. Any packet sent by
the peer during the ongoing cycle must belong inside his current send
window, or should otherwise be dropped if possible.
Since a link endpoint cannot know its peer's current send window, it
has to base this sanity check on a worst-case assumption, i.e., that
the peer is using a maximum sized window of 8191 packets. Using this
assumption, we now add a check that the sequence number is not bigger
than next_expected + TIPC_MAX_LINK_WIN. We also re-order the checks
done, so that the receive window test is performed before the gap test.
This way, we are guaranteed that no packet with illegal sequence numbers
are ever added to the deferred queue.

Currently, all packets received in tipc_link_rcv() are unconditionally
added to the packet deferred queue, whereafter that queue is walked and
all its buffers evaluated for delivery. This is both non-optimal and
and makes the queue sorting function unnecessary complex.
This commit changes the loop so that an arrived packet is evaluated
first, and added to the deferred queue only when a sequence number gap
is discovered. A non-empty deferred queue is walked until it is empty
or until its head's sequence number doesn't fit.

During packet reception, the function tipc_link_rcv() adds its accepted
packets to a temporary buffer queue, before finally splicing this queue
into the lock protected input queue that will be delivered up to the
socket layer. The purpose is to reduce potential contention on the input
queue lock. However, since the vast majority of packets arrive in
sequence, they will anyway be added one by one to the input queue, and
the use of the temporary queue becomes a sub-optimization.
The only case where this queue makes sense is when unpacking buffers
from a bundle packet; here we want to avoid dozens of small buffers
to be added individually to the lock-protected input queue in a tight
loop.
In this commit, we remove the general usage of the temporary queue,
and keep it only for the packet unbundling case.

Pull rdma updates from Doug Ledford:
"We have four batched up patches for the current rc kernel.
Two of them are small fixes that are obvious.
One of them is larger than I would like for a late stage rc pull, but
we found an issue in the namespace lookup code related to RoCE and
this works around the issue for now (we allow a lookup with a
namespace to succeed on RoCE since RoCE namespaces aren't implemented
yet). This will go away in 4.4 when we put in support for namespaces
in RoCE devices.
The last one is large in terms of lines, but is all legal and no
functional changes. Cisco needed to update their files to be more
specific about their license. They had intended the files to be dual
licensed as GPL/BSD all along, and specified that in their module
license tag, but their file headers were not up to par. They
contacted all of the contributors to get agreement and then submitted
a patch to update the license headers in the files.
Summary:
- Work around connection namespace lookup bug related to RoCE
- Change usnic license to Dual GPL/BSD (was intended to be that way
all along, but wasn't clear, permission from contributors was
chased down)
- Fix an issue between NFSoRDMA and mlx5 that could cause an oops

This patch consolidates the check for valid logger instance once we have
passed the command handling:
The config message that we receive may contain the following info:
1) Command only: We always get a valid instance pointer if we just
created it. In case that the instance is being destroyed or the
command is unknown, we jump to exit path of nfulnl_recv_config().
This patch doesn't modify this handling.
2) Config only: In this case, the instance must always exist since the
user is asking for configuration updates. If the instance doesn't exist
this returns -ENODEV.
3) No command and no configs are specified: This case is rare. The
user is sending us a config message with neither commands nor
config options. In this case, we have to check if the instance exists
and bail out otherwise. Before this patch, it was possible to send a
config message with no command and no config updates for an
unexisting instance without triggering an error. So this is the only
case that changes.

In commit e3eea1eb47a ("tipc: clean up handling of message priorities")
we introduced a field in the packet header for keeping track of the
priority of fragments, since this value is not present in the specified
protocol header. Since the value so far only is used at the transmitting
end of the link, we have not yet officially defined it as part of the
protocol.
Unfortunately, the field we use for keeping this value, bits 13-15 in
in word 5, has turned out to be a poor choice; it is already used by the
broadcast protocol for carrying the 'network id' field of the sending
node. Since packet fragments also need to be transported across the
broadcast protocol, the risk of conflict is obvious, and we see this
happen when we use network identities larger than 2^13-1. This has
escaped our testing because we have so far only been using small network
id values.
We now move this field to bits 0-2 in word 9, a field that is guaranteed
to be unused by all involved protocols.

In commit 6e498158a827 ("tipc: move link synch and failover to link aggregation level")
we introduced a new mechanism for performing link failover and
synchronization. We have now detected a bug in this mechanism.
During link synchronization we use the arrival of any packet on
the tunnel link to trig a check for whether it has reached the
synchronization point or not. This has turned out to be too
permissive, since it may cause an arriving non-last SYNCH packet to
end the synch state, just to see the next SYNCH packet initiate a
new synch state with a new, higher synch point. This is not fatal,
but should be avoided, because it may significantly extend the
synchronization period, while at the same time we are not allowed
to send NACKs if packets are lost. In the worst case, a low-traffic
user may see its traffic stall until a LINK_PROTOCOL state message
trigs the link to leave synchronization state.
At the same time, LINK_PROTOCOL packets which happen to have a (non-
valid) sequence number lower than the tunnel link's rcv_nxt value will
be consistently dropped, and will never be able to resolve the situation
described above.
We fix this by exempting LINK_PROTOCOL packets from the sequence number
check, as they should be. We also reduce (but don't completely
eliminate) the risk of entering multiple synchronization states by only
allowing the (logically) first SYNCH packet to initiate a synchronization
state. This works independently of actual packet arrival order.

When a TCP/DCCP listener is closed, its pending SYN_RECV request sockets
become stale, meaning 3WHS can not complete.
But current behavior is wrong :
incoming packets finding such stale sockets are dropped.
We need instead to cleanup the request socket and perform another
lookup :
- Incoming ACK will give a RST answer,
- SYN rtx might find another listener if available.
- We expedite cleanup of request sockets and old listener socket.

The can subsystem communicates with user space using a bcm_msg_head
header, which contains two timestamps. This is problematic for
multiple reasons:
a) The structure layout is currently incompatible between 64-bit
user space and 32-bit user space, and cannot work in compat
mode (other than x32).
b) The timeval structure layout will change in 32-bit user
space when we fix the y2038 overflow problem by redefining
time_t to 64-bit, making new 32-bit user space incompatible
with the current kernel interface.
Cars last a long time and often use old kernels, so the actual
users of this code are the most likely ones to migrate to y2038
safe user space.
This tries to work around part of the problem by changing the
publicly visible user interface in the header, but not the binary
interface. Fortunately, the values passed around in the structure
are relative times and do not actually suffer from the y2038
overflow, so 32-bit is enough here.
We replace the use of 'struct timeval' with a newly defined
'struct bcm_timeval' that uses the exact same binary layout
as before and that still suffers from problem a) but not problem
b).
The downside of this approach is that any user space program
that currently assigns a timeval structure to these members
rather than writing the tv_sec/tv_usec portions individually
will suffer a compile-time error when built with an updated
kernel header. Fixing this error makes it work fine with old
and new headers though.
We could address problem a) by using '__u32' or 'int' members
rather than 'long', but that would have a more significant
downside in also breaking support for all existing 64-bit user
binaries that might be using this interface, which is likely
not acceptable.
