lan8814_match_rx_ts() invokes netif_rx() with disables interrupts
outside which will create a warning. Invoking netif_rx_ni() with
disabled interrupts is wrong even without the recent rework because
netif_rx_ni() would enable interrupts while processing the softirq. This
in turn can lead to dead lock if an interrupts triggers and attempts to
acquire kszphy_ptp_priv::rx_ts_lock.

Move netif_rx() outside the IRQ-off section.

tun/tap: use kfree_skb_reason() to trace dropped skb

The commit c504e5c2 ("net: skb: introduce kfree_skb_reason()") has
introduced the kfree_skb_reason() to help track the reason.

The tun and tap are commonly used as virtio-net/vhost-net backend. This is to
use kfree_skb_reason() to trace the dropped skb for those two drivers.

Changed since v1:
- I have renamed many of the reasons since v1. I make them as generic as
  possible so that they can be re-used by core networking and drivers.

Changed since v2:
- declare drop_reason as type "enum skb_drop_reason"
- handle the drop in skb_list_walk_safe() case for tap driver, and
  kfree_skb_list_reason() is introduced

Changed since v3 (only for PATCH 4/4):
- rename to TAP_FILTER and TAP_TXFILTER
- honor reverse xmas tree style declaration for 'drop_reason' in
  tun_net_xmit()

Changed since v4:
- make kfree_skb_list() static inline
- add 'computation' to SKB_CSUM comment
- change COPY_DATA to UCOPY_FAULT
- add 'metadata' to DEV_HDR comment
- expand comment on DEV_READY
- change SKB_TRIM to NOMEM
- chnage SKB_PULL to HDR_TRUNC
Changed since v5:
- rebase to net-next

The following reasons are introduced.

- SKB_DROP_REASON_SKB_CSUM
- SKB_DROP_REASON_SKB_GSO_SEG
- SKB_DROP_REASON_SKB_UCOPY_FAULT
- SKB_DROP_REASON_DEV_HDR
- SKB_DROP_REASON_FULL_RING
- SKB_DROP_REASON_DEV_READY
- SKB_DROP_REASON_NOMEM
- SKB_DROP_REASON_HDR_TRUNC
- SKB_DROP_REASON_TAP_FILTER
- SKB_DROP_REASON_TAP_TXFILTER

This is the output for TUN device.

The TUN can be used as vhost-net backend. E.g, the tun_net_xmit() is the
interface to forward the skb from TUN to vhost-net/virtio-net.

However, there are many "goto drop" in the TUN driver. Therefore, the
kfree_skb_reason() is involved at each "goto drop" to help userspace
ftrace/ebpf to track the reason for the loss of packets.

The below reasons are introduced:

- SKB_DROP_REASON_DEV_READY
- SKB_DROP_REASON_NOMEM
- SKB_DROP_REASON_HDR_TRUNC
- SKB_DROP_REASON_TAP_FILTER

  ib_poll_handler() has much better implementation (tracing,

Since we will switch to ib_poll_handler() in the future,

If the flow control settings have been changed, a subsequent FW reset
may cause the ethernet link to toggle unnecessarily.  This link toggle
will increase the down time by a few seconds.

The problem is caused by bnxt_update_phy_setting() detecting a false
mismatch in the flow control settings between the stored software
settings and the current FW settings after the FW reset.  This mismatch
is caused by the AUTONEG bit added to link_info->req_flow_ctrl in an
inconsistent way in bnxt_set_pauseparam() in autoneg mode.  The AUTONEG
bit should not be added to link_info->req_flow_ctrl.
