In cases where the driver is loaded while there are no SFP+ modules in
the cage the interface was not being detected as SFP capable. To account
for this the driver called identify_sfp in ixgbe_get_settings to make
sure the data is correct. However when there is no SFP+ module in the cage
the driver waits for the I2C reads to time out which can take more than a
second and will cause issues with tools (like net-snmp) that may poll
for that information.
This patch resolves the issue by identifying interfaces with no PHY
type set as SFP capable which allows the driver to detect the SFP module
when the interface is brought up. As result of this we can also remove the
identify_sfp call from ixgbe_get_settings.
v2: remove the 82599 specific check since we have 82598 devices that are SFP
capable.

(This patch was previously posted as RFC at

This patch adds NDA_MASTER attribute to neighbour attributes enum for
bridge/master ifindex. And adds NDA_MASTER to bridge fdb notify msgs.
Today bridge fdb notifications dont contain bridge information.
Userspace can derive it from the port information in the fdb
notification. However this is tricky in some scenarious.
Example, bridge port delete notification comes before bridge fdb
delete notifications. And we have seen problems in userspace
when using libnl where, the bridge fdb delete notification handling code
does not understand which bridge this fdb entry is part of because
the bridge and port association has already been deleted.
And these notifications (port membership and fdb) are generated on
separate rtnl groups.
Fixing the order of notifications could possibly solve the problem
for some cases (I can submit a separate patch for that).
This patch chooses to add NDA_MASTER to bridge fdb notify msgs
because it not only solves the problem described above, but also helps
userspace avoid another lookup into link msgs to derive the master index.

The current probe_filter_length() (the function that calculates the
length of a test BPF filter) behavior is to declare the end of the
filter as soon as it finds {0, *, *, 0}. This is actually a valid
insn ("ld #0"), so any filter with includes "BPF_STMT(BPF_LD | BPF_IMM, 0)"
fails (its length is cut short).
We are changing probe_filter_length() so as to start from the end, and
declare the end of the filter as the first instruction which is not
{0, *, *, 0}. This solution produces a simpler patch than the
alternative of using an explicit end-of-filter mark. It is technically
incorrect if your filter ends up with "ld #0", but that should not
happen anyway.
We also add a new test (LD_IMM_0) that includes ld #0 (does not work

ethernet: marvell: After-TSO fixes
This patchset consists of different fixes and improvements in the mvneta

This is done following the Solarflare driver (see commit 7e6d06f0de).
While doing this some other fixes were spotted and so they are included.
Finally, notice that the TSO support introduced a wrong DMA unmapping
of the TSO header buffers, so patches 4 and 8 provide a couple patches to
fix that in the drivers.

The min_tx_pkt variable decides the cutoff point where the driver
will stop padding out NTBs to maximum size. The padding is a tradeoff
where we use some USB bus bandwidth to allow the device to receive
fixed size buffers. Different devices will have different optimal
settings, spanning from no padding at all to padding every NTB.
There is no way to automatically figure out which setting is best
for a specific device.
The default value is a reasonable tradeoff, calculated based on the
USB packet size and out NTB max size. This may have to be changed
along with any tx_max changes.

The mandatory GetNtbParameters control request is an important part of
the host <-> device protocol negotiation in CDC NCM (and CDC MBIM). It
gives device limits which the host must obey when configuring the
protocol aggregation variables. The driver will enforce this by

which is not supported by the device. Exporting the parameter block

Attach a driver specific sysfs group to the netdev, and use it
for the rx/tx aggregation variables.
The datagram aggregation defined by the CDC NCM specification is
specific to this device class (including CDC MBIM). Using the
ethtool interrupt coalesce API as an interface to the aggregation
parameters redefined that API in a driver specific and confusing
way. A sysfs group
- makes it clear that this is a driver specific userspace API, and
- allows us to export the real values instead of some translated
version, and
- lets us include more aggregation variables which were impossible
to force into the ethtool API.
Additionally, using sysfs allows tuning the driver on space
constrained hosts where userspace tools like ethtool are undesired.

It doesn't matter whether the buffer size goes up or down. We have to
keep usbnet and device syncronized to be able to split transfers at the
correct boundaries. The spec allow skipping short packets when using
max sized transfers. If we don't tell usbnet about our new expected rx
buffer size, then it will merge and/or split NTBs. The driver does not
support this, and the result will be lots of framing errors.
Fix by always reallocating usbnet rx buffers when the rx_max value

Ideally, we would need to generate IP ID using a per destination IP
generator.
linux kernels used inet_peer cache for this purpose, but this had a huge
cost on servers disabling MTU discovery.
1) each inet_peer struct consumes 192 bytes
2) inetpeer cache uses a binary tree of inet_peer structs,
with a nominal size of ~66000 elements under load.
3) lookups in this tree are hitting a lot of cache lines, as tree depth
is about 20.
4) If server deals with many tcp flows, we have a high probability of
not finding the inet_peer, allocating a fresh one, inserting it in
the tree with same initial ip_id_count, (cf secure_ip_id())
5) We garbage collect inet_peer aggressively.
IP ID generation do not have to be 'perfect'
Goal is trying to avoid duplicates in a short period of time,
so that reassembly units have a chance to complete reassembly of
fragments belonging to one message before receiving other fragments
with a recycled ID.
We simply use an array of generators, and a Jenkin hash using the dst IP
as a key.
ipv6_select_ident() is put back into net/ipv6/ip6_output.c where it
belongs (it is only used from this file)
secure_ip_id() and secure_ipv6_id() no longer are needed.
Rename ip_select_ident_more() to ip_select_ident_segs() to avoid
unnecessary decrement/increment of the number of segments.

Provide common means for device address sync
The following series implements a means for synchronizing both unicast and
multicast addresses on a device interface. The code is based on the original
implementation of dev_uc_sync that was available for syncing a VLAN to the
lower dev.
The original reason for coming up for this patch is a driver that is still in
the early stages of development. The nearest driver I could find that
appeared to have the same limitations as the driver I was working on was the
Cisco enic driver. For this reason I chose it as the first driver to make use
of this interface publicly.
However, I do not have a Cisco enic interface so I have only been able to
compile test any changes made to the driver. I tried to keep this change as
simple as possible to avoid any issues. Any help with testing would be
greatly appreciated.

This change updates the enic driver to make use of __dev_uc_sync and
__dev_mc_sync calls. Previously the driver was doing its own list
management by storing the mc_addr and uc_addr list in a 32 address array.
With this change the sync data is stored in the netdev_addr_list structures
and instead we just track how many addresses we have written to the device.
When we encounter 32 we stop and print a message as occurred previously with
the old approach.
Other than the core change the only other bit needed was to propagate the
constant attribute with the MAC address as there were several spots where
is twas only passed as a u8 * instead of a const u8 *.
This patch is meant to maintain the original functionality without the use
of the mc_addr and uc_addr arrays.
