In IEC 62439-3 EntryForgetTime is defined with a value of 400 ms. When a
node does not send any frame within this time, the sequence number check
for can be ignored. This solves communication issues with Cisco IE 2000
in Redbox mode.

Add support for offloading of HSR/PRP (IEC 62439-3) tag insertion
tag removal, duplicate generation and forwarding.
For HSR, insertion involves the switch adding a 6 byte HSR header after
the 14 byte Ethernet header. For PRP it adds a 6 byte trailer.
Tag removal involves automatically stripping the HSR/PRP header/trailer
in the switch. This is possible when the switch also performs auto
deduplication using the HSR/PRP header/trailer (making it no longer
required).
Forwarding involves automatically forwarding between redundant ports in
an HSR. This is crucial because delay is accumulated as a frame passes
through each node in the ring.
Duplication involves the switch automatically sending a single frame
from the CPU port to both redundant ports. This is required because the
inserted HSR/PRP header/trailer must contain the same sequence number
on the frames sent out both redundant ports.
Export is_hsr_master so DSA can tell them apart from other devices in
dsa_slave_changeupper.

DAN-P (Dual Attached Nodes PRP) nodes are expected to receive
traditional IP packets as well as PRP (Parallel Redundancy
Protocol) tagged (trailer) packets. PRP trailer is 6 bytes
of PRP protocol unit called RCT, Redundancy Control Trailer
(RCT) similar to HSR tag. PRP network can have traditional
devices such as bridges/switches or PC attached to it and
should be able to communicate. Regular Ethernet devices treat
the RCT as pads. This patch adds logic to format L2 frames
from network stack to add a trailer (RCT) and send it as
duplicates over the slave interfaces when the protocol is
PRP as per IEC 62439-3. At the ingress, it strips the trailer,
do duplicate detection and rejection and forward a stripped
frame up the network stack. PRP device should accept frames
from Singly Attached Nodes (SAN) and thus the driver mark
the link where the frame came from in the node table.

Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) is another redundancy protocol
introduced by IEC 63439 standard. It is similar to HSR in many
aspects:-
- Use a pair of Ethernet interfaces to created the PRP device
- Use a 6 byte redundancy protocol part (RCT, Redundancy Check
Trailer) similar to HSR Tag.
- Has Link Redundancy Entity (LRE) that works with RCT to implement
redundancy.
Key difference is that the protocol unit is a trailer instead of a
prefix as in HSR. That makes it inter-operable with tradition network
components such as bridges/switches which treat it as pad bytes,
whereas HSR nodes requires some kind of translators (Called redbox) to
talk to regular network devices. This features allows regular linux box
to be converted to a DAN-P box. DAN-P stands for Dual Attached Node - PRP
similar to DAN-H (Dual Attached Node - HSR).
Add a comment at the header/source code to explicitly state that the
driver files also handles PRP protocol as well.

hsr_get_node_{list/status}() are not under rtnl_lock() because
they are callback functions of generic netlink.
But they use __dev_get_by_index() without rtnl_lock().
So, it would use unsafe data.
In order to fix it, rcu_read_lock() and dev_get_by_index_rcu()
are used instead of __dev_get_by_index().

When HSR interface is sending a frame, it finds a node with
the destination ethernet address from the list.
If there is no node, it calls WARN_ONCE().
But, using WARN_ONCE() for this situation is a little bit overdoing.
So, in this patch, the netdev_err() is used instead.

hsr nodes are protected by RCU and there is no write side lock.
But node insertions and deletions could be being operated concurrently.
So write side locking is needed.

hsr_link_ops implements ->newlink() but not ->dellink(),
which leads that resources not released after removing the device,
particularly the entries in self_node_db and node_db.
So add ->dellink() implementation to replace the priv_destructor.
This also makes the code slightly easier to understand.

Don't prune the master node in the hsr_prune_nodes function.
Neither time_in[HSR_PT_SLAVE_A] nor time_in[HSR_PT_SLAVE_B]
will ever be updated by hsr_register_frame_in for the master port.
Thus, the master node will be repeatedly pruned leading to
repeated packet loss.
This bug never appeared because the hsr_prune_nodes function
was only called once. Since commit 5150b45fd355
("net: hsr: Fix node prune function for forget time expiry") this issue
is fixed unveiling the issue described above.

HSR should forget nodes after configured node forget time expiry based
on HSR_NODE_FORGET_TIME. As part of hsr_prune_nodes(), code checks to
see if entries are to be flushed out if not heard for longer than forget
time. But currently hsr_prune_nodes() is called only once during device
creation. Restart the timer at the end of hsr_prune_nodes() so that
hsr_prune_nodes() gets called periodically and forgotten entries are
removed from node table.

This patch removes the separate paths for frames coming from the outside, and
frames sent from the HSR device, and instead makes all frames go through
hsr_forward_skb() in hsr_forward.c. This greatly improves code readability and
also opens up the possibility for future support of the HSR Interlink device
that is the basis for HSR RedBoxes and HSR QuadBoxes, as well as VLAN
compatibility.
Other improvements:
* A reduction in the number of times an skb is copied on machines without
HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS, which improves throughput somewhat.
* Headers are now created using the standard eth_header(), and using the
standard hard_header_len.
* Each HSR slave now gets its own private skb, so slave-specific fields can be
correctly set.

Also try to prevent some possible slave dereference race conditions. This is
finalized in the next patch, which abandons the slave array in favour of
a list_head list and list RCU.

Conflicts:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/recv.c
drivers/net/wireless/mwifiex/pcie.c
net/ipv6/sit.c
The SIT driver conflict consists of a bug fix being done by hand
in 'net' (missing u64_stats_init()) whilst in 'net-next' a helper
was created (netdev_alloc_pcpu_stats()) which takes care of this.
The two wireless conflicts were overlapping changes.

This is a sanity check and we never pass invalid values so this patch
doesn't change anything. However the node->time_in[] array has
HSR_MAX_SLAVE (2) elements and not HSR_MAX_DEV (3).

It's slightly smaller/faster for some architectures.
Make sure def_multicast_addr is __aligned(2)

The callback function of call_rcu() just calls a kfree(), so we
can use kfree_rcu() instead of call_rcu() + callback function.

(HSRv0)
High-availability Seamless Redundancy ("HSR") provides instant failover
redundancy for Ethernet networks. It requires a special network topology where
all nodes are connected in a ring (each node having two physical network
interfaces). It is suited for applications that demand high availability and
very short reaction time.
HSR acts on the Ethernet layer, using a registered Ethernet protocol type to
send special HSR frames in both directions over the ring. The driver creates
virtual network interfaces that can be used just like any ordinary Linux
network interface, for IP/TCP/UDP traffic etc. All nodes in the network ring
must be HSR capable.
This code is a "best effort" to comply with the HSR standard as described in
IEC 62439-3:2010 (HSRv0).
