      ====================
      10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2016-07-22
      
      This series contains updates to ixgbe and ixgbevf only.
      
      Emil fixes the NACK check in ixgbevf_set_uc_addr_vf() for instances where
      the index is not equal to zero.  Fixes an issue where mac->ops.setup_fc
      can be NULL for backplanes which can cause the driver to crash on load.
      
      Don fixes the second parameter of the LED functions, which is the index to
      the LED we are interested in affecting.  Fixed variable to store register
      reads to unsigned integer.  Adds support for the new x553 hardware into
      ixgbevf.  Fixed a missing rtnl lock around ixgbevf_reinit_locked().
      Fixed an issue where in ixgbevf_reset_subtask() was not verifying that
      the port has been removed.  Cleans up the initial crosstalk fix, since
      the SFP that indicates the presence of a SFP+ module changes between
      hardware types.
      
      Babu Moger fixes typo in freeing IRQ, since the array subscript increments
      after the execution of the statement.
      
      Wei Yongjun adds the missing destroy_workqueue() before returning from
      ixgbe_init_module() in the error handling case.
      
      Tony adds range checking for setting the MTU from the VF, where the PF can
      return a NACK but this was not passed on to the VF, so propagate the
      results from the PF to the VF so errors can be reported.  Consolidates
      mailbox read and write functions, since the recent changes to
      ixgbevf_write_msg_read_ack(), other functions are performing the same
      operations done here.
      
      Colin Ian King removes a redundant check on ret_val, since ret_val has
      not changed since the previous check.

      sctp: also point GSO head_skb to the sk when it's available · 52253db9
      Marcelo Ricardo Leitner authored
      The head skb for GSO packets won't travel through the inner depths of
      SCTP stack as it doesn't contain any chunks on it. That means skb->sk
      doesn't get set and then when sctp_recvmsg() calls
      sctp_inet6_skb_msgname() on the head_skb it panics, as this last needs
      to check flags at the socket (sp->v4mapped).
      
      The fix is to initialize skb->sk for th head skb once we are able to do
      it. That is, when the first chunk is processed.

      sctp: fix BH handling on socket backlog · eefc1b1d
      Marcelo Ricardo Leitner authored
      Now that the backlog processing is called with BH enabled, we have to
      disable BH before taking the socket lock via bh_lock_sock() otherwise
      it may dead lock:
      
      sctp_backlog_rcv()
                      bh_lock_sock(sk);
      
                      if (sock_owned_by_user(sk)) {
                              if (sk_add_backlog(sk, skb, sk->sk_rcvbuf))
                                      sctp_chunk_free(chunk);
                              else
                                      backloged = 1;
                      } else
                              sctp_inq_push(inqueue, chunk);
      
                      bh_unlock_sock(sk);
      
      while sctp_inq_push() was disabling/enabling BH, but enabling BH
      triggers pending softirq, which then may try to re-lock the socket in
      sctp_rcv().

      net: ipv6: Always leave anycast and multicast groups on link down · ea06f717
      Mike Manning authored
      Default kernel behavior is to delete IPv6 addresses on link
      down, which entails deletion of the multicast and the
      subnet-router anycast addresses. These deletions do not
      happen with sysctl setting to keep global IPv6 addresses on
      link down, so every link down/up causes an increment of the
      anycast and multicast refcounts. These bogus refcounts may
      stop these addrs from being removed on subsequent calls to
      delete them. The solution is to leave the groups for the
      multicast and subnet anycast on link down for the callflow
      when global IPv6 addresses are kept.

      sctp: use inet_recvmsg to support sctp RFS well · fd2d180a
      Xin Long authored
      Commit 486bdee0 ("sctp: add support for RPS and RFS")
      saves skb->hash into sk->sk_rxhash so that the inet_* can
      record it to flow table.
      
      But sctp uses sock_common_recvmsg as .recvmsg instead
      of inet_recvmsg, sock_common_recvmsg doesn't invoke
      sock_rps_record_flow to record the flow. It may cause
      that the receiver has no chances to record the flow if
      it doesn't send msg or poll the socket.
      
      So this patch fixes it by using inet_recvmsg as .recvmsg
      in sctp.

      IEEE 802.1AE-2006 standard recommends that the ICV element in a MACsec

      bridge: Fix incorrect re-injection of LLDP packets · baedbe55
      Ido Schimmel authored
      Commit 8626c56c ("bridge: fix potential use-after-free when hook
      returns QUEUE or STOLEN verdict") caused LLDP packets arriving through a
      bridge port to be re-injected to the Rx path with skb->dev set to the
      bridge device, but this breaks the lldpad daemon.
      
      The lldpad daemon opens a packet socket with protocol set to ETH_P_LLDP
      for any valid device on the system, which doesn't not include soft
      devices such as bridge and VLAN.
      
      Since packet sockets (ptype_base) are processed in the Rx path after the
      Rx handler, LLDP packets with skb->dev set to the bridge device never
      reach the lldpad daemon.
      
      Fix this by making the bridge's Rx handler re-inject LLDP packets with
      RX_HANDLER_PASS, which effectively restores the behaviour prior to the
      mentioned commit.
      
      This means netfilter will never receive LLDP packets coming through a
      bridge port, as I don't see a way in which we can have okfn() consume
      the packet without breaking existing behaviour. I've already carried out
      a similar fix for STP packets in commit 56fae404 ("bridge: Fix
      incorrect re-injection of STP packets").
      
      Fixes: 8626c56c ("bridge: fix potential use-after-free when hook returns QUEUE or STOLEN verdict")

      sp->inet.freebind and net->ipv6.sysctl.ip_nonlocal_bind
      check in sctp_v6_available as what sctp did to support
      ipv4 nonlocal bind (commit cdac4e07).

      ====================
      40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2016-07-22
      
      This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf.
      
      Heinrich Schuchardt found a possible null pointer being dereferenced in
      i40e_debug_aq(), fixed the issue by doing the variable assignment after
      we are sure the pointer is not null.
      
      Avinash fixed an issue when link was down, we were not showing the
      correct advertised link modes.
      
      Mitch cleans up a useless initializer since the variable is assigned
      right away.  Refactors the receive filter handling to properly track
      filter adds and deletes so the driver will not lose filters during a
      reset and up/down cycles.  Also added a tracking mechanism so that the
      driver knows when to enter and leave promiscuous mode.
      
      Catherine removes a device id which is not needed (or used).  Moves
      a mutex lock since we need to lock the client list around the
      i40e_client_release() call to prevent the release from interrupting
      the client instances while they are being added.
      
      Joshua adds Hyper-V specific VF device ids.
      
      Amitoj Kaur Chawla cleans up a redundant memset() call before a memcpy().
      
      Stefan Assmann adds the missing link advertise for some x710 NICs.
      
      Tushar Dave fixes and issue found on SPARC, where a PF reset clears MAC
      filters and if a platform-specific MAC address is used, the driver has
      to explicitly write default MAC address to MAC filters otherwise all
      incoming traffic destined to the default MAC address will be dropped
      after reset.

      bpf, events: fix offset in skb copy handler · aa7145c1
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      This patch fixes the __output_custom() routine we currently use with
      bpf_skb_copy(). I missed that when len is larger than the size of the
      current handle, we can issue multiple invocations of copy_func, and
      __output_custom() advances destination but also source buffer by the
      written amount of bytes. When we have __output_custom(), this is actually
      wrong since in that case the source buffer points to a non-linear object,
      in our case an skb, which the copy_func helper is supposed to walk.
      Therefore, since this is non-linear we thus need to pass the offset into
      the helper, so that copy_func can use it for extracting the data from
      the source object.
      
      Therefore, adjust the callback signatures properly and pass offset
      into the skb_header_pointer() invoked from bpf_skb_copy() callback. The
      __DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY_BODY() is adjusted to accommodate for two things:
      i) to pass in whether we should advance source buffer or not; this is
      a compile-time constant condition, ii) to pass in the offset for
      __output_custom(), which we do with help of __VA_ARGS__, so everything
      can stay inlined as is currently. Both changes allow for adapting the
      __output_* fast-path helpers w/o extra overhead.
      
      Fixes: 555c8a86 ("bpf: avoid stack copy and use skb ctx for event output")
      Fixes: 7e3f977e ("perf, events: add non-linear data support for raw records")

      net/ncsi: avoid maybe-uninitialized warning · a1b43edd
      Arnd Bergmann authored
      gcc-4.9 and higher warn about the newly added NSCI code:
      
      net/ncsi/ncsi-manage.c: In function 'ncsi_process_next_channel':
      net/ncsi/ncsi-manage.c:1003:2: error: 'old_state' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
      
      The warning is a false positive and therefore harmless, but it would be good to
      avoid it anyway. I have determined that the barrier in the spin_unlock_irqsave()
      is what confuses gcc to the point that it cannot track whether the variable
      was unused or not.
      
      This rearranges the code in a way that makes it obvious to gcc that old_state
      is always initialized at the time of use, functionally this should not
      change anything.

      ====================
      common library for Chelsio drivers.
      
       This patch series adds common library module(libcxgb.ko)
       for Chelsio drivers to remove duplicate code.
      
       This series moves common iSCSI DDP Page Pod manager
       code from cxgb4.ko to libcxgb.ko, earlier this code
       was used by only cxgbit.ko now it is used by
       three Chelsio iSCSI drivers cxgb3i, cxgb4i, cxgbit.
      
       In future this module will have common connection
       management and hardware specific code that can
       be shared by multiple Chelsio drivers(cxgb4,
       csiostor, iw_cxgb4, cxgb4i, cxgbit).
      
       Please review.
      
       Thanks
      
      -v3
      - removed unused module init and exit functions.
      
      -v2
      - updated CONFIG_CHELSIO_LIB to an invisible option
      - changed libcxgb.ko module license from GPL to Dual BSD/GPL
