Since the address ID can be set from user-space, some of the tests in pm_netlink.sh will fail. This patch fixed the failures, and add the testcases for setting the address ID.

Currently the address ID set by the netlink PM from user-space is overridden by the kernel. This patch added the address ID assignment bitmap to allow user-space to set the address ID. Use a per netns bitmask id_bitmap (256 bits) to keep track of in-use IDs. And use next_id to keep track of the highest ID currently in use. If the user-space provides an ID at endpoint creation time, try to use it. If already in use, endpoint creation fails. Otherwise pick the first ID available after the highest currently in use, with wrap-around.

Introduced in commit 37b8da1a ("net: dsa: Move FDB add/del implementation inside DSA") in net/dsa/legacy.c, these functions were moved again to slave.c as part of commit 2a93c1a3 ("net: dsa: Allow compiling out legacy support"), before actually deleting net/dsa/slave.c in 93e86b3b ("net: dsa: Remove legacy probing support"). Along with that movement there should have been a deletion of the prototypes from dsa_priv.h, they are not useful.

Ioana Ciornei says: ==================== dpaa2-mac: various updates The first two patches of this series extends the MAC statistics support to also work for network interfaces which have their link status handled by firmware (TYPE_FIXED). The next two patches are fixing a sporadic problem which happens when the connected DPMAC object is not yet discovered by the fsl-mc bus, thus the dpaa2-eth is not able to get a reference to it. A referred probe will be requested in this case. Finally, the last two patches make some cosmetic changes, mostly removing comments and unnecessary checks. Changes in v2: - replaced IS_ERR_OR_NULL() by IS_ERR() in patch 4/6 - reworded the commit message of patch 6/6 ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210108090727.866283-1-ciorneiioana@gmail.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

The dpaa2-eth driver has phylink integration only if the connected dpmac object is in TYPE_PHY (aka the PCS/PHY etc link status is managed by Linux instead of the firmware). The check is thus unnecessary because the code path that reaches the .mac_link_up() callback is only with TYPE_PHY dpmac objects.

The fsl_mc_get_endpoint() should return a pointer to the connected fsl_mc device, if there is one.

If the network interface object is connected to a MAC of TYPE_FIXED, the link status management is handled exclusively by the firmware. This does not mean that the driver cannot access the MAC counters and export them in ethtool. For this to happen, we open the attached dpmac device and keep a pointer to it in priv->mac. Because of this, all the checks in the driver of the following form 'if (priv->mac)' have to be updated to actually check the dpmac attribute and not rely on the presence of a non-NULL value.

Split up the initialization phase of the dpmac object from actually configuring the phylink instance, connecting to it and configuring the MAC. This is done so that even though the dpni object is connected to a dpmac which has link management handled by the firmware we are still able to export the MAC counters.

Followup patch will remove GRO_DROP, because drivers are not supposed to call napi_gro_frags() if prior napi_get_frags() has failed. Note that I have left the gro_dropped variable.

Stub functions are defined for SSR notifier registration in case QCOM_RPROC_COMMON is not configured. As a result, code that uses these functions can link successfully even if the common remoteproc code is not built. Code that registers an SSR notifier function likely needs the types defined in "qcom_rproc.h", but those are only exposed if QCOM_RPROC_COMMON is enabled. Rearrange the conditional definition so the qcom_ssr_notify_data structure and qcom_ssr_notify_type enumerated type are defined whether or not QCOM_RPROC_COMMON is enabled.

The kernel test robot reported a -5.8% performance regression on the "poll2" test of will-it-scale, and bisected it to commit d55564cf ("x86: Make __put_user() generate an out-of-line call"). I didn't expect an out-of-line __put_user() to matter, because no normal core code should use that non-checking legacy version of user access any more. But I had overlooked the very odd poll() usage, which does a __put_user() to update the 'revents' values of the poll array. Now, Al Viro correctly points out that instead of updating just the 'revents' field, it would be much simpler to just copy the _whole_ pollfd entry, and then we could just use "copy_to_user()" on the whole array of entries, the same way we use "copy_from_user()" a few lines earlier to get the original values. But that is not what we've traditionally done, and I worry that threaded applications might be concurrently modifying the other fields of the pollfd array. So while Al's suggestion is simpler - and perhaps worth trying in the future - this instead keeps the "just update revents" model. To fix the performance regression, use the modern "unsafe_put_user()" instead of __put_user(), with the proper "user_write_access_begin()" guarding in place. This improves code generation enormously.

This reverts commit 757055ae. The commit caused that ttynull was used as the default console on several systems[1][2][3]. As a result, the console was blank even when a better alternative existed. It happened when there was no console configured on the command line and ttynull_init() was the first initcall calling register_console(). Or it happened when /dev/ did not exist when console_on_rootfs() was called. It was not able to open /dev/console even though a console driver was registered. It tried to add ttynull console but it obviously did not help. But ttynull became the preferred console and was used by /dev/console when it was available later. The commit tried to fix a historical problem that have been there for ages. The primary motivation was the commit 3cffa06a ("printk/console: Allow to disable console output by using console="" or console=null"). It provided a clean solution for a workaround that was widely used and worked only by chance. This revert causes that the console="" or console=null command line options will again work only by chance. These options will cause that a particular console will be preferred and the default (tty) ones will not get enabled. There will be no console registered at all. As a result there won't be stdin, stdout, and stderr for the init process. But it worked exactly this way even before. The proper solution has to fulfill many conditions: + Register ttynull only when explicitly required or as the ultimate fallback. + ttynull should get associated with /dev/console but it must not become preferred console when used as a fallback. Especially, it must still be possible to replace it by a better console later. Such a change requires clean up of the register_console() code. Otherwise, it would be even harder to follow. Especially, the use of has_preferred_console and CON_CONSDEV flag is tricky. The clean up is risky. The ordering of consoles is not well defined. And any changes tend to break existing user settings. Do the revert at the least risky solution for now.
