The port flag isn't set to `NFP_PORT_CHANGED` when using `ethtool -m DEVNAME` before, so the port state (e.g. interface) cannot be updated. Therefore, it caused that `ethtool -m DEVNAME` sometimes cannot read the correct information. E.g. `ethtool -m DEVNAME` cannot work when load driver before plug in optical module, as the port interface is still NONE without port update. Now update the port state before sending info to NIC to ensure that port interface is correct (latest state).

Calling mdio_bus_phy_resume() with neither the PHY state machine set to PHY_HALTED nor phydev->mac_managed_pm set to true is a good indication that we can produce a race condition looking like this: CPU0 CPU1 bcmgenet_resume -> phy_resume -> phy_init_hw -> phy_start -> phy_resume phy_start_aneg() mdio_bus_phy_resume -> phy_resume -> phy_write(..., BMCR_RESET) -> usleep() -> phy_read() with the phy_resume() function triggering a PHY behavior that might have to be worked around with (see bf8bfc43 ("net: phy: broadcom: Fix brcm_fet_config_init()") for instance) that ultimately leads to an error reading from the PHY.

Vladimir Oltean says: ==================== Make DSA work with bonding's ARP monitor Since commit 2b86cb82 ("net: dsa: declare lockless TX feature for slave ports") in v5.7, DSA breaks the ARP monitoring logic from the bonding driver, fact which was pointed out by Brian Hutchinson who uses a linux-5.10.y stable kernel. Initially I got lured by other similar hacks introduced for other NETIF_F_LLTX drivers, which, inspired by the bonding documentation, update the trans_start of their TX queues by hand. However Jakub pointed out that this simply isn't a proper solution, and after coming to think more about it, I agree, and it doesn't work properly with DSA nor is it maintainable for the future changes I plan for it (multiple DSA masters in a LAG). I've tested these changes using a DSA-based setup and a veth-based setup, using the active-backup mode and ARP monitoring, with and without arp_validate.

This reverts commit e66e257a. The veth driver no longer needs these hacks which are slightly detrimential to the fast path performance, because the bonding driver is keeping track of TX times of ARP and NS probes by itself, which it should.

Vladimir Oltean authored
Now that the bonding driver keeps track of the last TX time of ARP and NS probes, we effectively revert the following commits: 32d3e51a ("net_sched: use macvlan real dev trans_start in dev_trans_start()") 07ce76aa ("net_sched: make dev_trans_start return vlan's real dev trans_start") Note that the approach of continuing to hack at this function would not get us very far, hence the desire to take a different approach. DSA is also a virtual device that uses NETIF_F_LLTX, but there, many uppers share the same lower (DSA master, i.e. the physical host port of a switch). By making dev_trans_start() on a DSA interface return the dev_trans_start() of the master, we effectively assume that all other DSA interfaces are silent, otherwise this corrupts the validity of the probe timestamp data from the bonding driver's perspective. Furthermore, the hacks didn't take into consideration the fact that the lower interface of @dev may not have been physical either. For example, VLAN over VLAN, or DSA with 2 masters in a LAG. And even furthermore, there are NETIF_F_LLTX devices which are not stacked, like veth. The hack here would not work with those, because it would not have to provide the bonding driver something to chew at all.

The bonding driver piggybacks on time stamps kept by the network stack for the purpose of the netdev TX watchdog, and this is problematic because it does not work with NETIF_F_LLTX devices. It is hard to say why the driver looks at dev_trans_start() of the slave->dev, considering that this is updated even by non-ARP/NS probes sent by us, and even by traffic not sent by us at all (for example PTP on physical slave devices). ARP monitoring in active-backup mode appears to still work even if we track only the last TX time of actual ARP probes.

Pull iomap updates from Darrick Wong: "The most notable change in this first batch is that we no longer schedule pages beyond i_size for writeback, preferring instead to let truncate deal with those pages. Next week, there may be a second pull request to remove iomap_writepage from the other two filesystems (gfs2/zonefs) that use iomap for buffered IO. This follows in the same vein as the recent removal of writepage from XFS, since it hasn't been triggered in a few years; it does nothing during direct reclaim; and as far as the people who examined the patchset can tell, it's moving the codebase in the right direction. However, as it was a late addition to for-next, I'm holding off on that section for another week of testing to see if anyone can come up with a solid reason for holding off in the meantime.

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba: "This brings some long awaited changes, the send protocol bump, otherwise lots of small improvements and fixes. The main core part is reworking bio handling, cleaning up the submission and endio and improving error handling. There are some changes outside of btrfs adding helpers or updating API, listed at the end of the changelog. Features: - sysfs: - export chunk size, in debug mode add tunable for setting its size - show zoned among features (was only in debug mode) - show commit stats (number, last/max/total duration) - send protocol updated to 2 - new commands: - ability write larger data chunks than 64K - send raw compressed extents (uses the encoded data ioctls), ie. no decompression on send side, no compression needed on receive side if supported - send 'otime' (inode creation time) among other timestamps - send file attributes (a.k.a file flags and xflags) - this is first version bump, backward compatibility on send and receive side is provided - there are still some known and wanted commands that will be implemented in the near future, another version bump will be needed, however we want to minimize that to avoid causing usability issues - print checksum type and implementation at mount time - don't print some messages at mount (mentioned as people asked about it), we want to print messages namely for new features so let's make some space for that - big metadata - this has been supported for a long time and is not a feature that's worth mentioning - skinny metadata - same reason, set by default by mkfs Performance improvements: - reduced amount of reserved metadata for delayed items - when inserted items can be batched into one leaf - when deleting batched directory index items - when deleting delayed items used for deletion - overall improved count of files/sec, decreased subvolume lock contention - metadata item access bounds checker micro-optimized, with a few percent of improved runtime for metadata-heavy operations - increase direct io limit for read to 256 sectors, improved throughput by 3x on sample workload Notable fixes: - raid56 - reduce parity writes, skip sectors of stripe when there are no data updates - restore reading from on-disk data instead of using stripe cache, this reduces chances to damage correct data due to RMW cycle - refuse to replay log with unknown incompat read-only feature bit set - zoned - fix page locking when COW fails in the middle of allocation - improved tracking of active zones, ZNS drives may limit the number and there are ENOSPC errors due to that limit and not actual lack of space - adjust maximum extent size for zone append so it does not cause late ENOSPC due to underreservation - mirror reading error messages show the mirror number - don't fallback to buffered IO for NOWAIT direct IO writes, we don't have the NOWAIT semantics for buffered io yet - send, fix sending link commands for existing file paths when there are deleted and created hardlinks for same files - repair all mirrors for profiles with more than 1 copy (raid1c34) - fix repair of compressed extents, unify where error detection and repair happen Core changes: - bio completion cleanups - don't double defer compression bios - simplify endio workqueues - add more data to btrfs_bio to avoid allocation for read requests - rework bio error handling so it's same what block layer does, the submission works and errors are consumed in endio - when asynchronous bio offload fails fall back to synchronous checksum calculation to avoid errors under writeback or memory pressure - new trace points - raid56 events - ordered extent operations - super block log_root_transid deprecated (never used) - mixed_backref and big_metadata sysfs feature files removed, they've been default for sufficiently long time, there are no known users and mixed_backref could be confused with mixed_groups Non-btrfs changes, API updates: - minor highmem API update to cover const arguments - switch all kmap/kmap_atomic to kmap_local - remove redundant flush_dcache_page() - address_space_operations::writepage callback removed - add bdev_max_segments() helper" * tag 'for-5.20-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux: (163 commits) btrfs: don't call btrfs_page_set_checked in finish_compressed_bio_read btrfs: fix repair of compressed extents btrfs: remove the start argument to check_data_csum and export btrfs: pass a btrfs_bio to btrfs_repair_one_sector btrfs: simplify the pending I/O counting in struct compressed_bio btrfs: repair all known bad mirrors btrfs: merge btrfs_dev_stat_print_on_error with its only caller btrfs: join running log transaction when logging new name btrfs: simplify error handling in btrfs_lookup_dentry btrfs: send: always use the rbtree based inode ref management infrastructure btrfs: send: fix sending link commands for existing file paths btrfs: send: introduce recorded_ref_alloc and recorded_ref_free btrfs: zoned: wait until zone is finished when allocation didn't progress btrfs: zoned: write out partially allocated region btrfs: zoned: activate necessary block group btrfs: zoned: activate metadata block group on flush_space btrfs: zoned: disable metadata overcommit for zoned btrfs: zoned: introduce space_info->active_total_bytes btrfs: zoned: finish least available block group on data bg allocation btrfs: let can_allocate_chunk return error ...

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney: - Documentation updates - Miscellaneous fixes - Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters. This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms - Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs account for both normal and expedited grace periods - Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a system with 15,000 tasks. The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead - Torture-test updates - Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking, thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track context independently of RCU.

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld: "Though there's been a decent amount of RNG-related development during this last cycle, not all of it is coming through this tree, as this cycle saw a shift toward tackling early boot time seeding issues, which took place in other trees as well. Here's a summary of the various patches: - The CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM .config option and the "nordrand" boot option have been removed, as they overlapped with the more widely supported and more sensible options, CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU and "random.trust_cpu". This change allowed simplifying a bit of arch code. - x86's RDRAND boot time test has been made a bit more robust, with RDRAND disabled if it's clearly producing bogus results. This would be a tip.git commit, technically, but I took it through random.git to avoid a large merge conflict. - The RNG has long since mixed in a timestamp very early in boot, on the premise that a computer that does the same things, but does so starting at different points in wall time, could be made to still produce a different RNG state. Unfortunately, the clock isn't set early in boot on all systems, so now we mix in that timestamp when the time is actually set. - User Mode Linux now uses the host OS's getrandom() syscall to generate a bootloader RNG seed and later on treats getrandom() as the platform's RDRAND-like faculty. - The arch_get_random_{seed_,}_long() family of functions is now arch_get_random_{seed_,}_longs(), which enables certain platforms, such as s390, to exploit considerable performance advantages from requesting multiple CPU random numbers at once, while at the same time compiling down to the same code as before on platforms like x86. - A small cleanup changing a cmpxchg() into a try_cmpxchg(), from Uros. - A comment spelling fix" More info about other random number changes that come in through various architecture trees in the full commentary in the pull request: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220731232428.2219258-1-Jason@zx2c4.com/ * tag 'random-6.0-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random: random: correct spelling of "overwrites" random: handle archrandom with multiple longs um: seed rng using host OS rng random: use try_cmpxchg in _credit_init_bits timekeeping: contribute wall clock to rng on time change x86/rdrand: Remove "nordrand" flag in favor of "random.trust_cpu" random: remove CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM

The commit a1a2b712 ("of/platform: Drop static setup of IRQ resource from DT core") stopped IRQ resources being available as platform resources. This broke the sanity check for the expected number of resources in the Marvell SATA driver which expected two resources, the IO memory and the interrupt. Change the sanity check to only expect the IO memory.
