Both Eric and Paolo noticed the rcu_barrier() we use in
tcf_block_put_ext() could be a performance bottleneck when
we have a lot of tc classes.

Paolo provided the following to demonstrate the issue:

tc qdisc add dev lo root htb
for I in `seq 1 1000`; do
        tc class add dev lo parent 1: classid 1:$I htb rate 100kbit
        tc qdisc add dev lo parent 1:$I handle $((I + 1)): htb
        for J in `seq 1 10`; do
                tc filter add dev lo parent $((I + 1)): u32 match ip src 1.1.1.$J
        done
done
time tc qdisc del dev root

real    0m54.764s
user    0m0.023s
sys     0m0.000s

The rcu_barrier() there is to ensure we free the block after all chains
are gone, that is, to queue tcf_block_put_final() at the tail of workqueue.
We can achieve this ordering requirement by refcnt'ing tcf block instead,
that is, the tcf block is freed only when the last chain in this block is
gone. This also simplifies the code.

Paolo reported after this patch we get:

real    0m0.017s

Teach phylib hard-resetting devices

This patch series adds optional PHY reset support to phylib.

The first two patches are destined for David's net-next tree. They add
core PHY reset code, and update a driver that currently uses its own
reset code.

The last two patches are destined for Simon's renesas tree.  They add
properties to describe the EthernetAVB PHY reset topology to the common
Salvator-X/XS and ULCB DTS files, which solves two issues:
  1. On Salvator-XS, the enable pin of the regulator providing PHY power
     is connected to PRESETn, and PSCI powers down the SoC during system
     suspend.  Hence a PHY reset is needed to restore network
     functionality after system resume.
  2. Linux should not rely on the boot loader having reset the PHY, but
     should reset the PHY during driver probe.

Changes compared to v3:
  - Remove Florian's Acked-by,
  - Add missing #include <linux/gpio/consumer.h>,
  - Re-add the gpiod check, as the dummy gpiod_set_value() for !GPIOLIB
    does not ignore NULL, and calls WARN_ON(1),
  - Do not reassert the reset signal if {mdio,phy}_probe() or
    phy_device_register() succeeded, as that may destroy initial setup,
  - Do not deassert the reset signal in {mdio,phy}_remove(), as it
    should already be deasserted,
  - Bring the PHY back into reset state in phy_device_remove(),
  - Move/consolidate GPIO descriptor acquiring code from
    of_mdiobus_register_phy() and of_mdiobus_register_device() to
    mdiobus_register_device().
    Note that this changes behavior slightly, in that the reset signal
    is now also asserted when called from of_mdiobus_register_device().
  - Add Reviewed-by,

Changes compared to v2, as sent by Sergei Shtylyov:
  - Fix fwnode_get_named_gpiod() call due to added parameters (which
    allowed to eliminate the gpiod_direction_output() call),
  - Rebased, refreshed, reworded,
  - Take over from Sergei,
  - Add Acked-by,
  - Remove unneeded gpiod check, as gpiod_set_value() handles NULL fine,
  - Handle fwnode_get_named_gpiod() errors correctly:
      - -ENOENT is ignored (the GPIO is optional), and turned into NULL,
	which allowed to remove all later !IS_ERR() checks,
      - Other errors (incl. -EPROBE_DEFER) are propagated,
  - Extract DTS patches from series "[PATCH 0/4] ravb: Add PHY reset
    support" (https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg457308.html), and
    incorporate in this series, after moving reset-gpios from the
    ethernet to the ethernet-phy node.

Given (1) the new reset-gpios DT property in the PHY node follows
established practises, (2) the DT binding change in the first patch has
been acked by Rob, and (3) the DTS patch does not cause any regressions
if it is applied before the PHY driver patches, the DTS patches can be
applied independently.

The PHY devices sometimes do have their reset signal (maybe even power
supply?) tied to some GPIO and sometimes it also does happen that a boot
loader does not leave it deasserted. So far this issue has been attacked
from (as I believe) a wrong angle: by teaching the MAC driver to manipulate
the GPIO in question; that solution, when applied to the device trees, led
to adding the PHY reset GPIO properties to the MAC device node, with one
exception: Cadence MACB driver which could handle the "reset-gpios" prop
in a PHY device subnode. I believe that the correct approach is to teach
the 'phylib' to get the MDIO device reset GPIO from the device tree node
corresponding to this device -- which this patch is doing...

Note that I had to modify the AT803x PHY driver as it would stop working
otherwise -- it made use of the reset GPIO for its own purposes...

Move dissection of tunnel info to outside of the main flow dissection
function, __skb_flow_dissect(). The sole user of this feature, the flower
classifier, is updated to call tunnel info dissection directly, using
skb_flow_dissect_tunnel_info().

This results in a slightly less complex implementation of
__skb_flow_dissect(), in particular removing logic from that call path
which is not used by the majority of users. The expense of this is borne by
the flower classifier which now has to make an extra call for tunnel info
dissection.

net: hns3: Refactors "reset" handling code in HCLGE layer of HNS3 driver

This patch refactors the code of the reset feature in HCLGE layer
of HNS3 PF driver. Prime motivation to do this change is:
1. To reduce the time for which common miscellaneous Vector 0
   interrupt is disabled because of the reset. Simplification
   of the common miscellaneous interrupt handler routine(for
   Vector 0) used to handle reset and other sources of Vector
   0 interrupt.
2. Separate the task for handling the reset
3. Simplification of reset request submission and pending reset
   logic.

To achieve above below few things have been done:
1. Interrupt is disabled while common miscellaneous interrupt
   handler is entered and re-enabled before it is exit. This
   reduces the interrupt handling latency as compared to older
   interrupt handling scheme where interrupt was being disabled
   in interrupt handler context and re-enabled in task context
   some time later. Made Miscellaneous interrupt handler more
   generic to handle all sources including reset interrupt source.
2. New reset service task has been introduced to service the
   reset handling.
3. Introduces new reset service task for honoring software reset
   requests like from network stack related to timeout and serving
   the pending reset request(to reset the driver and associated
   clients).

In exisiting code, the way to detect if driver/client reset should
be executed or if hardware should be be soft resetted was overly
complex.

Existing code use to read the interrupt status register from task
context to figure out if the interrupt source event was reset and
then use clear the interrupt source for reset while waiting for the
hardware to finish the reset. This behaviour again was confusing
and overly complex in terms of the flow.

This patch simplifies the handling of the requested reset and the
pending reset(i.e. reset which have already been asserted by the
software and hardware has acknowledged back to driver that it is
processing the hardware reset through interrupt)

The reset interrupt event shares common miscellaneous interrupt
Vector 0. In the existing reset interrupt handling we disable
the Vector 0 interrupt in misc interrupt handler and re-enable
them later in context to common service task.

This also means other event sources like mailbox would also be
deferred or if the interrupt event was due to mailbox(which shall
be supported for VF soon), it could delay the reset handling.

This patch reorganizes the reset interrupt handling logic and
makes it more fair to other events.

SFP/phylink updates

This series, which follows on from the fixes posted earlier, improves
the phylink/sfp support.  Changes included here are:

- Merge 802.3z and SGMII modes into one "in-band" mode, using the
  PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_xxx definition to determine which should be used.
  This allows more flexibility as more interface modes become
  available.

- Allow 2500base-X and 10GBASE-KR to be requested from SFP.

- Remove unused and unnecessary phylink_init_eee()

- Restart 802.3z autonegotiation when starting the network device to
  ensure that the negotiated parameters are always correct.  It has
  been observed on mvneta that this is not always the case without
  this change.

- Add kerneldoc documentation for phylink and sfp upstream facing APIs
  and link it in to the networking documentation.

- Resolve a sparse warning in sfp-bus.c

- Convert phylink/sfp to use fwnode rather than DT so that other firmware
  systems can take advantage of this - I have received a request for it
  to be usable with ACPI.  The exception to this is our interactions with
  phylib, as phylib itself does not yet support fwnode.

The chip family of TILEPro and TILE-Gx was developed by Tilera, which
was eventually acquired by Mellanox.  The tile architecture was added to
the kernel in 2010 and first appeared in 2.6.36.

Now at Mellanox we are developing new chips based on the ARM64
architecture; our last TILE-Gx chip (the Gx72) was released in 2013, and
our customers using tile architecture products are not, as far as we
know, looking to upgrade to newer kernel releases.  In the absence of
someone in the community stepping up to take over maintainership, this
commit marks the architecture as orphaned.

The main changes are:

1) Addition of a software model for BPF offloads in order to ease
   testing code changes in that area and make semantics more clear.
   This is implemented in a new driver called netdevsim, which can
   later also be extended for other offloads. SR-IOV support is added
   as well to netdevsim. BPF kernel selftests for offloading are
   added so we can track basic functionality as well as exercising
   all corner cases around BPF offloading, from Jakub.

2) Today drivers have to drop the reference on BPF progs they hold
   due to XDP on device teardown themselves. Change this in order
   to make XDP handling inside the drivers less error prone, and
   move disabling XDP to the core instead, also from Jakub.

3) Misc set of BPF verifier improvements and cleanups as preparatory
   work for upcoming BPF-to-BPF calls. Among others, this set also
   improves liveness marking such that pruning can be slightly more
   effective. Register and stack liveness information is now included
   in the verifier log as well, from Alexei.

rtnetlink: rework handler (un)registering

Peter Zijlstra reported (referring to commit 019a3169,
"rtnetlink: add reference counting to prevent module unload while dump is in progress"):

 1) it not in fact a refcount, so using refcount_t is silly
 2) there is a distinct lack of memory barriers, so we can easily
    observe the decrement while the msg_handler is still in progress.
 3) waiting with a schedule()/yield() loop is complete crap and subject
    life-locks, imagine doing that rtnl_unregister_all() from a RT task.

In ancient times rtnetlink exposed a statically-sized table with
preset doit/dumpit handlers to be called for a protocol/type pair.

Later the rtnl_register interface was added and the table was allocated
on demand.  Eventually these were also used by modules.

Problem is that nothing prevents module unload while a netlink dump
is in progress.  netlink dumps can be span multiple recv calls and
netlink core saves the to-be-repeated dumper address for later invocation.

To prevent rmmod the netlink core expects callers to pass in the owning
module so a reference can be taken.

So far rtnetlink wasn't doing this, add new interface to pass THIS_MODULE.
Moreover, when converting parts of the rtnetlink handling to rcu this code
gained way too many READ_ONCE spots, remove them and the extra refcounting.

Take a module reference when running dumpit and doit callbacks
and never alter content of rtnl_link structures after they have been
published via rcu_assign_pointer.

Based partially on earlier patch from Peter.

Add yet another rtnl_register function.  It will be used by modules
that can be removed.

The passed module struct is used to prevent module unload while
a netlink dump is in progress or when a DOIT_UNLOCKED doit callback
is called.

rtnetlink is littered with READ_ONCE() because we can have read accesses
while another cpu can write to the structure we're reading by
(un)registering doit or dumpit handlers.

This patch changes this so that (un)registering cpu allocates a new
structure and then publishes it via rcu_assign_pointer, i.e. once
another cpu can see such pointer no modifications will occur anymore.

based on initial patch from Peter Zijlstra.

Previous patch mistakenly removed three chip-specific config settings.
Add them again.
