      selftests: pmtu: Add test choice and captures
      
      This series adds a couple of features useful for debugging: 1/2
      allows selecting single tests and 2/2 adds optional traffic
      captures.
      
      Semantics for current invocation of test script are preserved.

      selftests: pmtu: Allow selection of single tests · 55bbc8ff
      Stefano Brivio authored
      As number of tests is growing, it's quite convenient to allow
      single tests to be run.
      
      Display usage when the script is run with any invalid argument,
      keep existing semantics when no arguments are passed so that
      automated runs won't break.
      
      Instead of just looping on the list of requested tests, if any,
      check first that they exist, and go through them in a nested
      loop to keep the existing way to display test descriptions.

      octeontx2-af: remove unused cgx_fwi_link_change · 44eb385b

      The newly added driver causes a warning about a function that is
      not used anywhere:

      Remove it for now, until a user gets added. If we want to use this
      function from another module, we also need a declaration in a header
      file, which is currently missing, so it would have to change anyway.

      nfp: devlink port split support for 1x100G CXP NIC · 5948185b
      Ryan C Goodfellow authored
      This commit makes it possible to use devlink to split the 100G CXP
      Netronome into two 40G interfaces. Currently when you ask for 2
      interfaces, the math in src/nfp_devlink.c:nfp_devlink_port_split
      calculates that you want 5 lanes per port because for some reason
      eth_port.port_lanes=10 (shouldn't this be 12 for CXP?). What we really
      want when asking for 2 breakout interfaces is 4 lanes per port. This
      commit makes that happen by calculating based on 8 lanes if 10 are
      present.

      Both ARCH_LAYERSCAPE and COMPILE_TEST dependencies are already implied
      through the FSL_MC_BUS dep, so there's no need to state it explicitly.
      
      Also, the fsl-mc bus depends on COMPILE_TEST only for some
      architectures (arm, arm64, ppc, x86), so it's not correct to
      claim build support unconditionally.

      net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: use for mcast entries only host port · 5b3a5a14
      Ivan Khoronzhuk authored
      In dual-emac mode the cpsw driver sends directed packets, that means
      that packets go to the directed port, but an ALE lookup is performed
      to determine untagged egress only. It means that on tx side no need
      to add port bit for ALE mcast entry mask, and basically ALE entry
      for port identification is needed only on rx side.
      
      So, add only host port in dual_emac mode as used directed
      transmission, and no need in one more port. For single port boards
      and switch mode all ports used, as usual, so no changes for them.
      Also it simplifies farther changes.
      
      In other words, mcast entries for dual-emac should behave exactly
      like unicast. It also can help avoid leaking packets between ports
      with same vlan on h/w level if ports could became members of same vid.
      
      So now, for instance, if mcast address 33:33:00:00:00:01 is added then
      entries in ALE table:
      
      vid = 1, addr = 33:33:00:00:00:01, port_mask = 0x1
      vid = 2, addr = 33:33:00:00:00:01, port_mask = 0x1
      
      Instead of:
      vid = 1, addr = 33:33:00:00:00:01, port_mask = 0x3
      vid = 2, addr = 33:33:00:00:00:01, port_mask = 0x5
      
      With the same considerations, set only host port for unregistered
      mcast for dual-emac mode in case of IFF_ALLMULTI is set, exactly like
      it's done in cpsw_ale_set_allmulti().

      net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: fix lost of mcast packets while rx_mode update · 5da19489
      Ivan Khoronzhuk authored
      Whenever kernel or user decides to call rx mode update, it clears
      every multicast entry from forwarding table and in some time adds
      it again. This time can be enough to drop incoming multicast packets.
      
      That's why clear only staled multicast entries and update or add new
      one afterwards.

      Handling of state PHY_RUNNING seems to be more complex than it needs
      to be. If not polling, then we don't have to do anything, we'll
      receive an interrupt and go to state PHY_CHANGELINK once the link
      goes down. If polling and link is down, we don't have to go the
      extra mile over PHY_CHANGELINK and call phy_read_status() again
      but can set status PHY_NOLINK directly.

      David S. Miller authored
      Toshiaki Makita says:
      
      ====================
      veth: XDP stats improvement
      
      ndo_xdp_xmit in veth did not update packet counters as described in [1].
      Also, current implementation only updates counters on tx side so rx side
      events like XDP_DROP were not collected.
      This series implements the missing accounting as well as support for
      ethtool per-queue stats in veth.
      
      Patch 1: Update drop counter in ndo_xdp_xmit.
      Patch 2: Update packet and byte counters for all XDP path, and drop
               counter on XDP_DROP.
      Patch 3: Support per-queue ethtool stats for XDP counters.
      
      Note that counters are maintained on per-queue basis for XDP but not
      otherwise (per-cpu and atomic as before). This is because 1) tx path in
      veth is essentially lockless so we cannot update per-queue stats on tx,
      and 2) rx path is net core routine (process_backlog) which cannot update
      per-queue based stats when XDP is disabled. On the other hand there are
      real rxqs and napi handlers for veth XDP, so update per-queue stats on
      rx for XDP packets, and use them to calculate tx counters as well,
      contrary to the existing non-XDP counters.

      INADDR_ANY is hard-coded when activating UDP bearer. So, we could not

      ====================
      mlx5e-updates-2018-10-10
      
      IPoIB netlink support and mlx5e pre-allocated netdevice initialization
      
      IP link was broken due to the changes in IPoIB for the rdma_netdev
      support after commit cd565b4b
      ("IB/IPoIB: Support acceleration options callbacks").
      
      This patchset fixes IPoIB pkey creation and removal using rtnetlink by
      adding support in both IPoIB ULP layer and mlx5 layer:
      
      From Jason and Denis:
      1) Introduces changes in the RDMA netdev code in order to
         allow allocation of the netdev to be done by the rtnl netdev code.
      2) Reworks IPoIB initialization to use the two step rdma_netdev
         creation.
      
      From Feras and Saeed, mlx5e netdev layer refactoring to allow accepting
      pre-allocated netdevs:
      3) Adds support to initialize/cleanup netdevs that are not created
         by mlx5 driver.
      4) Change mlx5e netdevice layer to accept the pre-allocated netdevice
         queue number.
      5) Initialize mlx5e generic structures in one place to be used for all
         netdevs types NIC/representors/IPoIB (both mlx5 allocated and
         pre-allocted).

      FDDI: DEC FDDIcontroller 700 TURBOchannel adapter support
      
       This is an update to <http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/342737/>.  I
      believe I have addressed all the requests made in the previous review
      round.
      
       There is still one `checkpatch.pl' warning remaining:
      
      WARNING: quoted string split across lines
      +       pr_info("%s: ROM rev. %.4s, firmware rev. %.4s, RMC rev. %.4s, "
      +               "SMT ver. %u\n", fp->name, rom_rev, fw_rev, rmc_rev, smt_ver);
      
      total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 2458 lines checked
      
      however I think the value of staying within 80 columns is higher than the
      value of having the string on a single line.  This is because with all the
      formatting specifiers there it is not directly greppable based on the
      final output produced to the kernel log on one hand, e.g.:
      
      tc2: ROM rev. 1.0, firmware rev. 1.2, RMC rev. A, SMT ver. 1
      
      while it can be easily tracked down by grepping for an obvious substring
      such as "RMC rev" on the other.
      
       The issue with MMIO barriers I discussed in the course of the original
      review turned out mostly irrelevant to this driver, because as I have
      learnt in a recent Alpha/Linux discussion starting here:
      <https://marc.info/?i=alpine.LRH.2.02.1808161556450.13597%20()%20file01%20!%20intranet%20!%20prod%20!%20int%20!%20rdu2%20!%20redhat%20!%20com>
      our MMIO API mandates the `readX' and `writeX' accessors to be strongly
      ordered with respect to each other, even if that is not implicitly
      enforced by hardware.
      
       Consequently I have removed all the explicit ordering barriers and
      instead submitted a fix for MIPS MMIO implementation, which currently does
      not guarantee strong ordering (the MIPS architecture does not define bus
      ordering rules except in terms of SYNC barriers), as recorded here:
      <https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/project/linux-mips/list/?series=1538>.
      
       Enforcing strong MMIO ordering can be costly however and is often
      unnecessary, e.g. when using PIO to access network frame data in onboard
      packet memory.  I have therefore retained the information that would be
      lost by the removal of barriers, by defining accessor wrappers suffixed by
      `_o' and `_u', for accesses that have to be ordered and can be unordered
      respectively.
      
       If we ever have an API defined for weakly-ordered MMIO accesses, then
      these wrappers can be redefined accordingly.  Right now they all expand to
      the respective `_relaxed' accessors, because, again, enforcing the
      ordering WRT DMA transfers can be costly and we don't need it here except
      in one place, where I chose to use explicit `dma_rmb' instead.
      
       Similarly I have replaced the completion barriers with a read back from
      the respective MMIO location (all adapter MMIO registers can be read with
      no side effects incurred), which will serve its purpose on the basis of
      MMIO being strongly ordered (although a read from TURBOchannel is going to
      be slower than `iob', making the delay incurred unnecessarily longer).
      
       And last but not least, I have split off the SMT Tx network tap support
      to a separate change, 2/2 in this series, so that it does not block the
      driver proper and can be discussed separately.
      
       I think it has value in that it makes the view of the outgoing network
      traffic complete, as if one actually physically tapped into the outgoing
      line of the ring, between the station being examined and its downstream
      neighbour.  Without this part only traffic passed from applications
      through the whole protocol stack can be captured and this is only a part
      of the view.
      
       With the `dev_queue_xmit_nit' interface now exported it's only
      `ptype_all' that remains private, and to define a properly abstracted API
      I propose to provide am exported `dev_nit_active' predicate that tells
      whether any taps are active.  This predicate is then used accordingly.
      
       NB if there is a long-term maintenance concern about the `dev_nit_active'
      predicate, then well, corresponding inline code currently present in
      `xmit_one' has to be maintained anyway, and if the resulting changes
      require `defza' to be updated accordingly, then I am going to handle it;
      after some 20 years with Linux it's not that I am going to disappear
      anywhere anytime.  And once I am dead, which is inevitably going to happen
      sooner or later, then the driver can simply be ripped from the kernel.
      Though I suspect that at that point no DECstation Linux users may survive
      anymore, even though hardware, being as sturdy as it is, likely will.
      
       I have a patch for `tcpdump' to actually decode SMT frames, which I plan
      to upstream sometime.  Here's a sample of SMT traffic captured through the
      `defza' driver in a small network of 4 stations and no concentrators,
      printed in the most verbose mode:

      FDDI: defza: Support capturing outgoing SMT traffic · 9f9a742d
      Maciej W. Rozycki authored
      DEC FDDIcontroller 700 (DEFZA) uses a Tx/Rx queue pair to communicate
      SMT frames with adapter's firmware.  Any SMT frame received from the RMC
      via the Rx queue is queued back by the driver to the SMT Rx queue for
      the firmware to process.  Similarly the firmware uses the SMT Tx queue
      to supply the driver with SMT frames which are queued back to the Tx
      queue for the RMC to send to the ring.
      
      When a network tap is attached to an FDDI interface handled by `defza'
      any incoming SMT frames captured are queued to our usual processing of
      network data received, which in turn delivers them to any listening
      taps.
      
      However the outgoing SMT frames produced by the firmware bypass our
      network protocol stack and are therefore not delivered to taps.  This in
      turn means that taps are missing a part of network traffic sent by the
      adapter, which may make it more difficult to track down network problems
      or do general traffic analysis.
      
      Call `dev_queue_xmit_nit' then in the SMT Tx path, having checked that
      a network tap is attached, with a newly-created `dev_nit_active' helper
      wrapping the usual condition used in the transmit path.

      FDDI: defza: Add support for DEC FDDIcontroller 700 TURBOchannel adapter · 61414f5e
      Maciej W. Rozycki authored
      Add support for the DEC FDDIcontroller 700 (DEFZA), Digital Equipment
      Corporation's first-generation FDDI network interface adapter, made for
      TURBOchannel and based on a discrete version of what eventually became
      Motorola's widely used CAMEL chipset.
      
      The CAMEL chipset is present for example in the DEC FDDIcontroller
      TURBOchannel, EISA and PCI adapters (DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA) that we support
      with the `defxx' driver, however the host bus interface logic and the
      firmware API are different in the DEFZA and hence a separate driver is
      required.
      
      There isn't much to say about the driver except that it works, but there
      is one peculiarity to mention.  The adapter implements two Tx/Rx queue
      pairs.
      
      Of these one pair is the usual network Tx/Rx queue pair, in this case
      used by the adapter to exchange frames with the ring, via the RMC (Ring
      Memory Controller) chip.  The Tx queue is handled directly by the RMC
      chip and resides in onboard packet memory.  The Rx queue is maintained
      via DMA in host memory by adapter's firmware copying received data
      stored by the RMC in onboard packet memory.
      
      The other pair is used to communicate SMT frames with adapter's
      firmware.  Any SMT frame received from the RMC via the Rx queue must be
      queued back by the driver to the SMT Rx queue for the firmware to
      process.  Similarly the firmware uses the SMT Tx queue to supply the
      driver with SMT frames that must be queued back to the Tx queue for the
      RMC to send to the ring.
      
      This solution was chosen because the designers ran out of PCB space and
      could not squeeze in more logic onto the board that would be required to
      handle this SMT frame traffic without the need to involve the driver, as
      with the later DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapters.
      
      Finally the driver does some Frame Control byte decoding, so to avoid
      magic numbers some macros are added to <linux/if_fddi.h>.

      tun: Consistently configure generic netdev params via rtnetlink · df52eab2
      Serhey Popovych authored
      Configuring generic network device parameters on tun will fail in
      presence of IFLA_INFO_KIND attribute in IFLA_LINKINFO nested attribute
      since tun_validate() always return failure.
      
      This can be visualized with following ip-link(8) command sequences:
      
        # ip link set dev tun0 group 100
        # ip link set dev tun0 group 100 type tun
        RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
      
      with contrast to dummy and veth drivers:
      
        # ip link set dev dummy0 group 100
        # ip link set dev dummy0 type dummy
      
        # ip link set dev veth0 group 100
        # ip link set dev veth0 group 100 type veth
      
      Fix by returning zero in tun_validate() when @data is NULL that is
      always in case since rtnl_link_ops->maxtype is zero in tun driver.
