fib6_add_rt2node() takes care of adding a single route ('struct
fib6_info') to a FIB node. The route in question should only be notified
in case it is added as the first route in the node (lowest metric) or if
it is added as a sibling route to the first route in the node.

The first criterion can be tested by checking if the route is pointed to
by 'fn->leaf'. The second criterion can be tested by checking the new
'notify_sibling_rt' variable that is set when the route is added as a
sibling to the first route in the node.

Subsequent patches are going to simplify the IPv6 route offload API,
which will only use three events - replace, delete and append.

Introduce a temporary version of replace and delete in order to make the
conversion easier to review. Note that append does not need a temporary
version, as it is currently not used.

====================
New openvswitch MPLS actions for layer 2 tunnelling

The existing PUSH MPLS action inserts MPLS header between ethernet header
and the IP header. Though this behaviour is fine for L3 VPN where an IP
packet is encapsulated inside a MPLS tunnel, it does not suffice the L2
VPN (l2 tunnelling) requirements. In L2 VPN the MPLS header should
encapsulate the ethernet packet.

The new mpls action ADD_MPLS inserts MPLS header at the start of the
packet or at the start of the l3 header depending on the value of l3 tunnel
flag in the ADD_MPLS arguments.

POP_MPLS action is extended to support ethertype 0x6558

OVS userspace changes -
---------------------
Encap & Decap ovs actions are extended to support MPLS packet type. The encap & decap
adds and removes MPLS header at the start of packet as depicted below.

Actions - encap(mpls(ether_type=0x8847)),encap(ethernet)

Incoming packet -> | ETH | IP | Payload |

1 Actions -  encap(mpls(ether_type=0x8847)) [Kernel action - add_mpls:0x8847]

        Outgoing packet -> | MPLS | ETH | Payload|

2 Actions - encap(ethernet) [ Kernel action - push_eth ]

        Outgoing packet -> | ETH | MPLS | ETH | Payload|

Decapsulation:

Incoming packet -> | ETH | MPLS | ETH | IP | Payload |

Actions - decap(),decap(packet_type(ns=0,type=0)

1 Actions -  decap() [Kernel action - pop_eth)

        Outgoing packet -> | MPLS | ETH | IP | Payload|

2 Actions - decap(packet_type(ns=0,type=0) [Kernel action - pop_mpls:0x6558]

LTP pipeio_1 test is hanging with v5.5-rc2-385-gb8e382a1,
with read side observing empty pipe and sleeping and write
side running out of space and then sleeping as well. In this
scenario there are 5 writers and 1 reader.

Problem is that after pipe_write() reacquires pipe lock, it
re-checks for empty pipe with potentially stale 'head' and
doesn't wake up read side anymore. pipe->tail can advance
beyond 'head', because there are multiple writers.

Use pipe->head for empty pipe check after reacquiring lock
to observe current state.

Testing: With patch, LTP pipeio_1 ran successfully in loop for 1 hour.
         Without patch it hanged within a minute.

trace_printk schedules work via irq_work_queue(), but doesn't
wait until it was processed. The kprobe_module.tc testcase does:

:;: "Load module again, which means the event1 should be recorded";:
modprobe trace-printk

so the grep which checks the trace file might run before the irq work
was processed. Fix this by adding a irq_work_sync().

  kbuild: fix 'No such file or directory' warning when cleaning

Kbuild descends into a directory by either 'y' or 'm', but there is an
important difference.

Kbuild combines the built-in objects into built-in.a in each directory.
The built-in.a in the directory visited by obj-y is merged into the
built-in.a in the parent directory. This merge happens recursively
when Kbuild is ascending back towards the top directory, then built-in
objects are linked into vmlinux eventually. This works properly only
when the Makefile specifying obj-y is reachable by the chain of obj-y.

On the other hand, Kbuild does not take built-in.a from the directory
visited by obj-m. This it, all the objects in that directory are
supposed to be modular. If Kbuild descends into a directory by obj-m,
but the Makefile in the sub-directory specifies obj-y, those objects
are just left orphan.

The current statement "Kbuild only uses this information to decide that
it needs to visit the directory" is misleading. Clarify the difference.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
 "Two weeks worth of accumulated fixes:

   - A fix for a performance regression seen on PowerVM LPARs using
     dedicated CPUs, caused by our vcpu_is_preempted() returning true
     even for idle CPUs.

   - One of the ultravisor support patches broke KVM on big endian hosts
     in v5.4.

   - Our KUAP (Kernel User Access Prevention) code missed allowing
     access in __clear_user(), which could lead to an oops or erroneous
     SEGV when triggered via PTRACE_GETREGSET.

   - Two fixes for the ocxl driver, an open/remove race, and a memory
     leak in an error path.

   - A handful of other small fixes.

Pull x86 RAS fixes from Borislav Petkov:
 "Three urgent RAS fixes for the AMD side of things:

   - initialize struct mce.bank so that calculated error severity on AMD
     SMCA machines is correct

   - do not send IPIs early during bank initialization, when interrupts
     are disabled

   - a fix for when only a subset of MCA banks are enabled, which led to
     boot hangs on some new AMD CPUs"

Pull clk fixes from Stephen Boyd:
 "One core framework fix to walk the orphan list and match up clks to
  parents when clk providers register the DT provider after registering
  all their clks (as they should).

  Then a handful of driver fixes for the qcom, imx, and at91 drivers.

  The driver fixes are relatively small fixes for incorrect register
  settings or missing locks causing race conditions"

sfc: fix bugs introduced by XDP patches

Two fixes for bugs introduced by the XDP support in the sfc driver.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Correct a mismatch between rx_page_buf_step and the actual step size
used when filling buffer pages.

This patch fixes the page overrun that occured when the MTU was set to
anything bigger than 1692.
