====================
net: phy: mscc-miim: reduce waiting time between MDIO transactions

This series aims at reducing the waiting time between MDIO transactions
when using the MSCC MIIM MDIO controller.

I'm not sure we need patch 4/4 and we could reasonably drop it from the
series. I'm including the patch as it could help to ensure the system
is functional with a non optimal configuration.

We needed to improve the driver's performances as when using a PHY
requiring lots of registers accesses (such as the VSC85xx family),
delays would add up and ended up to be quite large which would cause
issues such as: a slow initialization of the PHY, and issues when using
timestamping operations (this feature will be sent quite soon to the
mailing lists).

      net: phy: mscc-miim: read poll when high resolution timers are disabled · a021ada2
      Antoine Tenart authored 
      The driver uses a read polling mechanism to check the status of the MDIO
bus, to know if it is ready to accept next commands. This polling
mechanism uses usleep_delay() under the hood between reads which is fine
as long as high resolution timers are enabled. Otherwise the delays will
end up to be much longer than expected.

This patch fixes this by using udelay() under the hood when
CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS isn't enabled. This increases CPU usage.

      net: phy: mscc-miim: improve waiting logic · d9c6de35
      Antoine Tenart authored 
      The MSCC MIIM MDIO driver uses a waiting logic to wait for the MDIO bus
to be ready to accept next commands. It does so by polling the BUSY
status bit which indicates the MDIO bus has completed all pending
operations. This can take time, and the controller supports writing the
next command as soon as there are no pending commands (which happens
while the MDIO bus is busy completing its current command).

This patch implements this improved logic by adding an helper to poll
the PENDING status bit, and by adjusting where we should wait for the
bus to not be busy or to not be pending.

      net: phy: mscc-miim: use more reasonable delays · 9513167e
      Antoine Tenart authored 
      The MSCC MIIM MDIO driver uses delays to read poll a status register. I
made multiple tests on a Ocelot PCS120 platform which led me to reduce
those delays. The delay in between which the polling function is allowed
to sleep is reduced from 100us to 50us which in almost all cases is a
good value to succeed at the first retry. The overall delay is also
lowered as the prior value was really way to high, 10000us is large
enough.

      net: mdiobus: add clause 45 mdiobus accessors · 90ce665c
      Russell King authored 
      There is a recurring pattern throughout some of the PHY code converting
a devad and regnum to our packed clause 45 representation. Rather than
having this scattered around the code, let's put a common translation
function in mdio.h, and provide some register accessors.

Convert the phylib core, phylink, bcm87xx and cortina to use these.

      Guillaume Nault says:

====================
flow_dissector, cls_flower: Add support for multiple MPLS Label Stack Entries

Currently, the flow dissector and the Flower classifier can only handle
the first entry of an MPLS label stack. This patch series generalises
the code to allow parsing and matching the Label Stack Entries that
follow.

Patch 1 extends the flow dissector to parse MPLS LSEs until the Bottom
Of Stack bit is reached. The number of parsed LSEs is capped at
FLOW_DIS_MPLS_MAX (arbitrarily set to 7). Flower and the NFP driver
are updated to take into account the new layout of struct
flow_dissector_key_mpls.

Patch 2 extends Flower. It defines new netlink attributes, which are
independent from the previous MPLS ones. Mixing the old and the new
attributes in a same filter is not allowed. For backward compatibility,
the old attributes are used when dumping filters that don't require the
new ones.

Changes since v2:
  * Fix compilation with the new MLX5 bareudp tunnel code.

Changes since v1:
  * Fix compilation of NFP driver (kbuild test robot).
  * Fix sparse warning with entropy label (kbuild test robot).

      cls_flower: Support filtering on multiple MPLS Label Stack Entries · 61aec25a
      Guillaume Nault authored 
      With struct flow_dissector_key_mpls now recording the first
FLOW_DIS_MPLS_MAX labels, we can extend Flower to filter on any of
these LSEs independently.

In order to avoid creating new netlink attributes for every possible
depth, let's define a new TCA_FLOWER_KEY_MPLS_OPTS nested attribute
that contains the list of LSEs to match. Each LSE is represented by
another attribute, TCA_FLOWER_KEY_MPLS_OPTS_LSE, which then contains
the attributes representing the depth and the MPLS fields to match at
this depth (label, TTL, etc.).

For each MPLS field, the mask is always set to all-ones, as this is
what the original API did. We could allow user configurable masks in
the future if there is demand for more flexibility.

The new API also allows to only specify an LSE depth. In that case,
Flower only verifies that the MPLS label stack depth is greater or
equal to the provided depth (that is, an LSE exists at this depth).

Filters that only match on one (or more) fields of the first LSE are
dumped using the old netlink attributes, to avoid confusing user space
programs that don't understand the new API.

      flow_dissector: Parse multiple MPLS Label Stack Entries · 58cff782
      Guillaume Nault authored 
      The current MPLS dissector only parses the first MPLS Label Stack
Entry (second LSE can be parsed too, but only to set a key_id).

This patch adds the possibility to parse several LSEs by making
__skb_flow_dissect_mpls() return FLOW_DISSECT_RET_PROTO_AGAIN as long
as the Bottom Of Stack bit hasn't been seen, up to a maximum of
FLOW_DIS_MPLS_MAX entries.

FLOW_DIS_MPLS_MAX is arbitrarily set to 7. This should be enough for
many practical purposes, without wasting too much space.

To record the parsed values, flow_dissector_key_mpls is modified to
store an array of stack entries, instead of just the values of the
first one. A bit field, "used_lses", is also added to keep track of
the LSEs that have been set. The objective is to avoid defining a
new FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_MPLS_XX for each level of the MPLS stack.

TC flower is adapted for the new struct flow_dissector_key_mpls layout.
Matching on several MPLS Label Stack Entries will be added in the next
patch.

The NFP and MLX5 drivers are also adapted: nfp_flower_compile_mac() and
mlx5's parse_tunnel() now verify that the rule only uses the first LSE
and fail if it doesn't.

Finally, the behaviour of the FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_MPLS_ENTROPY key is
slightly modified. Instead of recording the first Entropy Label, it
now records the last one. This shouldn't have any consequences since
there doesn't seem to have any user of FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_MPLS_ENTROPY
in the tree. We'd probably better do a hash of all parsed MPLS labels
instead (excluding reserved labels) anyway. That'd give better entropy
and would probably also simplify the code. But that's not the purpose
of this patch, so I'm keeping that as a future possible improvement.

====================
tipc: add some improvements

This series adds some improvements to TIPC.

The first patch improves the TIPC broadcast's performance with the 'Gap
ACK blocks' mechanism similar to unicast before, while the others give
support on tracing & statistics for broadcast links, and an alternative
to carry broadcast retransmissions via unicast which might be useful in
some cases.

Besides, the Nagle algorithm can now automatically 'adjust' itself
depending on the specific network condition a stream connection runs by
the last patch.
