forgets to send ifinfo notify to inform about their change when the
router provides a zero reachable_time and retrans_timer as dnsmasq
and many routers send it, which just means unspecified by this router

DSA port configuration and status

This patchset allows various switch port settings to be configured and
port status to be sampled. Some of these patches have been posted
before.

The first three patches provide infrastructure for configuring a
switch ports link speed and duplex from a fixed_link phy.

Patch four then uses this infrastructure to allow the CPU and DSA
ports of a switch to be configured using a fixed-link property in the
device tree.

Patches five and six allow a phy-mode property to be specified in the
device tree, and allow this to be used for configuring RGMII delays.

Patches seven through nine allow link status, for example that of an
SFP module, to be read from a gpio.

Changes since v1:

What features a phy supports is masked in genphy_config_init() by
looking at the PHYs BMSR register.

If the link is down, fixed_phy_update_regs() will only set the auto-
negotiation capable bit in BMSR. Thus genphy_config_init() comes to
the conclusion the PHY can only perform 10/Half, and masks out the
higher speed features. If however the link it up, BMSR is set to
indicate the speed the PHY is capable of auto-negotiating, and
genphy_config_init() does not mask out the high speed features.

To fix this, when the link is down, have fixed_phy_update_regs() leave
the link status, auto-negotiation complete, and link partner
capabilities unset, but set all the local capabilities depending on
the fixed phy speed.

Some Ethernet MAC drivers using the PHY library require the hardcoding
of link parameters when interfaced to a switch device, SFP module,
switch to switch port, etc. This has typically lead to various ad-hoc
implementations looking like this:

- using a "fixed PHY" emulated device, which will provide link
  indication towards the Ethernet MAC driver and hardware

- pretend there is no PHY and hardcode link parameters, ala mv643x_eth

Based on that, it is desireable to have the PHY drivers advertise the
correct link parameters, just like regular Ethernet PHYs towards their
CPU Ethernet MAC drivers, however, Ethernet MAC drivers should be able
to tell whether this link should be monitored or not. In the context
of an Ethernet switch, SFP module, switch to switch link, we do not
need to monitor this link since it should be always up.

tcp: receive-side per route dctcp handling

Original cover letter:

  Currently, the following case doesn't use DCTCP, even if it should:

    - responder has f.e. cubic as system wide default
    - 'ip route congctl dctcp $src' was set

  Then, DCTCP is NOT used if a DCTCP sender attempts to connect from a
  host in the $src range: ECT(0) is set, but listen_sk is not dctcp, so
  we fail the INET_ECN_is_not_ect sanity check.

  We also have to examine the dst used for the SYN/ACK reply to make
  this case work.

  In order to minimize additional cost, store the 'ecn is must have'
  information is the dst_features field.

  The set targets -next instead of -net since this doesn't seem to be a
  serious bug and to give the change more soak time until it hits linus
  tree.

Currently, the following case doesn't use DCTCP, even if it should:
A responder has f.e. Cubic as system wide default, but for a specific
route to the initiating host, DCTCP is being set in RTAX_CC_ALGO. The
initiating host then uses DCTCP as congestion control, but since the
initiator sets ECT(0), tcp_ecn_create_request() doesn't set ecn_ok,
and we have to fall back to Reno after 3WHS completes.

We were thinking on how to solve this in a minimal, non-intrusive
way without bloating tcp_ecn_create_request() needlessly: lets cache
the CA ecn option flag in RTAX_FEATURES. In other words, when ECT(0)
is set on the SYN packet, set ecn_ok=1 iff route RTAX_FEATURES
contains the unexposed (internal-only) DST_FEATURE_ECN_CA. This allows
to only do a single metric feature lookup inside tcp_ecn_create_request().

Poll() returns immediately after setting the kernel current frame
(ring->head) to SKIP from user space even though there is no new
frame. And in a case of all frames is VALID, user space program
unintensionally sets (only) kernel current frame to UNUSED, then
calls poll(), it will not return immediately even though there are
VALID frames.

To avoid situations like above, I think we need to scan all frames
