Extend action ops with 'delete' function. Each action type to implements
its own delete function that doesn't depend on rtnl lock.
Implement delete function that is required to delete actions without
holding rtnl lock. Use action API function that atomically deletes action
only if it is still in action idr. This implementation prevents concurrent
threads from deleting same action twice.

Without rtnl lock protection it is no longer safe to use pointer to tc
action without holding reference to it. (it can be destroyed concurrently)
Remove unsafe action idr lookup function. Instead of it, implement safe tcf
idr check function that atomically looks up action in idr and increments
its reference and bind counters. Implement both action search and check
using new safe function
Reference taken by idr check is temporal and should not be accounted by
userspace clients (both logically and to preserver current API behavior).
Subtract temporal reference when dumping action to userspace using existing
tca_get_fill function arguments.

Currently a link is declared stale and reset if there has been 100
repeated attempts to retransmit the same packet. However, in certain
infrastructures we see that packet (NACK) duplicates and delays may
cause such retransmit attempts to occur at a high rate, so that the
peer doesn't have a reasonable chance to acknowledge the reception
before the 100-limit is hit. This may take much less than the
stipulated link tolerance time, and despite that probe/probe replies
otherwise go through as normal.
We now extend the criteria for link reset to also being time based.
I.e., we don't reset the link until the link tolerance time is passed
AND we have made 100 retransmissions attempts.

skb_shinfo(skb)->tx_flags is derived from sk->sk_tsflags, possibly
after modification by __sock_cmsg_send, by calling sock_tx_timestamp.
The IPv4 and IPv6 paths do this conversion differently. In IPv4, the
individual protocols that support tx timestamps call this function
and store the result in ipc.tx_flags. In IPv6, sock_tx_timestamp is
called in __ip6_append_data.
There is no need to store both tx_flags and ts_flags in the cookie
as one is derived from the other. Convert when setting up the cork
and remove the redundant field. This is similar to IPv6, only have
the conversion happen only once per datagram, in ip(6)_setup_cork.
Also change __ip6_append_data to match __ip_append_data. Only update
tskey if timestamping is enabled with OPT_ID. The SOCK_.. test is
redundant: only valid protocols can have non-zero cork->tx_flags.
After this change the IPv4 and IPv6 logic is the same.

we were returning NET_RX_SUCCESS from ip_rcv_finish_core() which meant
that ip_list_rcv_finish() would keep it on the list. Instead let's

Since callees (ip_rcv_core() and ip_rcv_finish_core()) might free or steal
the skb, we can't use the list_cut_before() method; we can't even do a
list_del(&skb->list) in the drop case, because skb might have already been
freed and reused.
So instead, take each skb off the source list before processing, and add it
to the sublist afterwards if it wasn't freed or stolen.

Use the socket error queue for reporting dropped packets if the
socket has enabled that feature through the SO_TXTIME API.
Packets are dropped either on enqueue() if they aren't accepted by the
qdisc or on dequeue() if the system misses their deadline. Those are
reported as different errors so applications can react accordingly.
Userspace can retrieve the errors through the socket error queue and the
corresponding cmsg interfaces. A struct sock_extended_err* is used for
returning the error data, and the packet's timestamp can be retrieved by
adding both ee_data and ee_info fields as e.g.:
((__u64) serr->ee_data << 32) + serr->ee_info
This feature is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled by
applications. Enabling it can bring some overhead for the Tx cycles
of the application.

Add infra so etf qdisc supports HW offload of time-based transmission.
For hw offload, the time sorted list is still used, so packets are
dequeued always in order of txtime.
Example:
$ tc qdisc replace dev enp2s0 parent root handle 100 mqprio num_tc 3 \
map 2 2 1 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 queues 1@0 1@1 2@2 hw 0
$ tc qdisc add dev enp2s0 parent 100:1 etf offload delta 100000 \
clockid CLOCK_REALTIME
In this example, the Qdisc will use HW offload for the control of the
transmission time through the network adapter. The hrtimer used for
packets scheduling inside the qdisc will use the clockid CLOCK_REALTIME
as reference and packets leave the Qdisc "delta" (100000) nanoseconds
before their transmission time. Because this will be using HW offload and
since dynamic clocks are not supported by the hrtimer, the system clock
and the PHC clock must be synchronized for this mode to behave as
expected.

The ETF (Earliest TxTime First) qdisc uses the information added
earlier in this series (the socket option SO_TXTIME and the new
role of sk_buff->tstamp) to schedule packets transmission based
on absolute time.
For some workloads, just bandwidth enforcement is not enough, and
precise control of the transmission of packets is necessary.
Example:
$ tc qdisc replace dev enp2s0 parent root handle 100 mqprio num_tc 3 \
map 2 2 1 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 queues 1@0 1@1 2@2 hw 0
$ tc qdisc add dev enp2s0 parent 100:1 etf delta 100000 \
clockid CLOCK_TAI
In this example, the Qdisc will provide SW best-effort for the control
of the transmission time to the network adapter, the time stamp in the
socket will be in reference to the clockid CLOCK_TAI and packets
will leave the qdisc "delta" (100000) nanoseconds before its transmission
time.
The ETF qdisc will buffer packets sorted by their txtime. It will drop
packets on enqueue() if their skbuff clockid does not match the clock
reference of the Qdisc. Moreover, on dequeue(), a packet will be dropped
if it expires while being enqueued.
The qdisc also supports the SO_TXTIME deadline mode. For this mode, it
will dequeue a packet as soon as possible and change the skb timestamp
to 'now' during etf_dequeue().
Note that both the qdisc's and the SO_TXTIME ABIs allow for a clockid
to be configured, but it's been decided that usage of CLOCK_TAI should
be enforced until we decide to allow for other clockids to be used.
The rationale here is that PTP times are usually in the TAI scale, thus
no other clocks should be necessary. For now, the qdisc will return
EINVAL if any clocks other than CLOCK_TAI are used.

ip_rcv_finish_core(), if it does not drop, sets skb->dst by either early
demux or route lookup. The last step, calling dst_input(skb), is left to
the caller; in the listified case, we split to form sublists with a common
dst, but then ip_sublist_rcv_finish() just calls dst_input(skb) in a loop.
The next step in listification would thus be to add a list_input() method
to struct dst_entry.
Early demux is an indirect call based on iph->protocol; this is another
opportunity for listification which is not taken here (it would require
slicing up ip_rcv_finish_core() to allow splitting on protocol changes).

Also involved adding a way to run a netfilter hook over a list of packets.
Rather than attempting to make netfilter know about lists (which would be
a major project in itself) we just let it call the regular okfn (in this
case ip_rcv_finish()) for any packets it steals, and have it give us back
a list of packets it's synchronously accepted (which normally NF_HOOK
would automatically call okfn() on, but we want to be able to potentially
pass the list to a listified version of okfn().)
The netfilter hooks themselves are indirect calls that still happen per-
packet (see nf_hook_entry_hookfn()), but again, changing that can be left
for future work.
There is potential for out-of-order receives if the netfilter hook ends up
synchronously stealing packets, as they will be processed before any
accepts earlier in the list. However, it was already possible for an
asynchronous accept to cause out-of-order receives, so presumably this is
considered OK.

__netif_receive_skb_core() does a depressingly large amount of per-packet
work that can't easily be listified, because the another_round looping
makes it nontrivial to slice up into smaller functions.
Fortunately, most of that work disappears in the fast path:
* Hardware devices generally don't have an rx_handler
* Unless you're tcpdumping or something, there is usually only one ptype
* VLAN processing comes before the protocol ptype lookup, so doesn't force
a pt_prev deliver
so normally, __netif_receive_skb_core() will run straight through and pass
