Tun, tap, virtio, packet and uml vector all use struct virtio_net_hdr
to communicate packet metadata to userspace.

For skbuffs with vlan, the first two return the packet as it may have
existed on the wire, inserting the VLAN tag in the user buffer.  Then
virtio_net_hdr.csum_start needs to be adjusted by VLAN_HLEN bytes.

Commit f09e2249c4f5 ("macvtap: restore vlan header on user read")
added this feature to macvtap. Commit 3ce9b20f1971 ("macvtap: Fix
csum_start when VLAN tags are present") then fixed up csum_start.

Virtio, packet and uml do not insert the vlan header in the user
buffer.

When introducing virtio_net_hdr_from_skb to deduplicate filling in
the virtio_net_hdr, the variant from macvtap which adds VLAN_HLEN was
applied uniformly, breaking csum offset for packets with vlan on
virtio and packet.

Make insertion of VLAN_HLEN optional. Convert the callers to pass it
when needed.

Fixes: 1276f24eeef2 ("packet: use common code for virtio_net_hdr and skb GSO conversion")

<title>vfs: do bulk POLL* -&gt; EPOLL* replacement</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a9a08845e9acbd224e4ee466f5c1275ed50054e8</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
 "This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
  the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
  'make -&gt;poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
  variables used to hold the future return value'.

  Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
  misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
  low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. -&gt;poll() instance
  deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
  in this series - it's large enough as it is.

  Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
  eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
  equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
  arch-independent, but POLL### are not.

  The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
  the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
  in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
  is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
  work on all architectures.

  As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
  it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
  architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
  at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
  architectures"

Lockless access to __ptr_ring_full is only legal if ring is
never resized, otherwise it might cause use-after free errors.
Simply drop the lockless test, we'll drop the packet
a bit later when produce fails.

<title>net: accept UFO datagrams from tuntap and packet</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0c19f846d582af919db66a5914a0189f9f92c936</id>
<content type='text'>
Tuntap and similar devices can inject GSO packets. Accept type
VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP, even though not generating UFO natively.

Processes are expected to use feature negotiation such as TUNSETOFFLOAD
to detect supported offload types and refrain from injecting other
packets. This process breaks down with live migration: guest kernels
do not renegotiate flags, so destination hosts need to expose all
features that the source host does.

Partially revert the UFO removal from 182e0b6b5846~1..d9d30adf5677.
This patch introduces nearly(*) no new code to simplify verification.
It brings back verbatim tuntap UFO negotiation, VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP
insertion and software UFO segmentation.

It does not reinstate protocol stack support, hardware offload
(NETIF_F_UFO), SKB_GSO_UDP tunneling in SKB_GSO_SOFTWARE or reception
of VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP packets in tuntap.

To support SKB_GSO_UDP reappearing in the stack, also reinstate
logic in act_csum and openvswitch. Achieve equivalence with v4.13 HEAD
by squashing in commit 939912216fa8 ("net: skb_needs_check() removes
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY check for tx.") and reverting commit 8d63bee643f1
("net: avoid skb_warn_bad_offload false positives on UFO").

(*) To avoid having to bring back skb_shinfo(skb)-&gt;ip6_frag_id,
ipv6_proxy_select_ident is changed to return a __be32 and this is
assigned directly to the frag_hdr. Also, SKB_GSO_UDP is inserted
at the end of the enum to minimize code churn.

Tested
  Booted a v4.13 guest kernel with QEMU. On a host kernel before this
  patch `ethtool -k eth0` shows UFO disabled. After the patch, it is
  enabled, same as on a v4.13 host kernel.

  A UFO packet sent from the guest appears on the tap device:
    host:
      nc -l -p -u 8000 &amp;
      tcpdump -n -i tap0

    guest:
      dd if=/dev/zero of=payload.txt bs=1 count=2000
      nc -u 192.16.1.1 8000 &lt; payload.txt

  Direct tap to tap transmission of VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP succeeds,
  packets arriving fragmented:

    ./with_tap_pair.sh ./tap_send_ufo tap0 tap1
    (from https://github.com/wdebruij/kerneltools/tree/master/tests)

Changes
  v1 -&gt; v2
    - simplified set_offload change (review comment)
    - documented test procedure
