fib offload: switch to notifier
The goal of this patchset is to allow driver to propagate all prefixes
configured in kernel down HW. This is necessary for routing to work
as expected. If we don't do that HW might forward prefixes known to kernel
incorrectly. Take an example when default route is set in switch HW and there
is an IP address set on a management (non-switch) port.
Currently, only FIB entries related to the switch port netdev are
offloaded using switchdev ops. This model is not extendable so the
first patch introduces a replacement: notifier to propagate FIB entry
additions and removals to whoever is interested.
The second patch introduces couple of helpers to deal with RTNH_F_OFFLOAD
flags. Currently it is set in switchdev core. There the assumption is
that only one offload device exists. But for FIB notifier, we assume
multiple offload devices. So the patch introduces a per FIB entry
reference counter and helpers use it in order to achieve this:
0 means RTNH_F_OFFLOAD is not set, no device offloads this entry
n means RTNH_F_OFFLOAD is set and the entry is offloaded by n devices
Patches 3 and 4 convert mlxsw and rocker to adopt this new way, registering
one notifier block for each asic instance. Both of these patches also
implement internal "abort" mechanism.
Using switchdev ops, "abort" is called by switchdev core whenever there is
an error during FIB entry add offload. This leads to removal of all
offloaded entries on system by fib_trie code.
Now the new notifier assumes the driver takes care of the abort action.
Here's why:
1) The fact that one HW cannot offload an entry does not mean that the
others can't do it. So let only one entity to abort and leave the rest
to work happily.
2) The driver knows what to in order to properly abort. For example,
currently abort is broken for mlxsw, as for Spectrum there is a need
to set 0.0.0.0/0 trap in RALUE register.
The fifth patch removes the old, no longer used FIB offload infrastructure.
The last patch reflects the changes into switchdev documentation file.

Fix tc-ife bugs
This patch-set contains two bugfixes in the tc-ife action, one fixing some

====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
On ife encode side, the action stores the different tlvs inside the ife
header, where each tlv length field should refer to the length of the
whole tlv (without additional padding) and not just the data length.
On ife decode side, the action iterates over the tlvs in the ife header
and parses them one by one, where in each iteration the current pointer is
advanced according to the tlv size.
Before, the encoding encoded only the data length inside the tlv, which led
to false parsing of ife the header. In addition, due to the fact that the
loop counter was unsigned, it could lead to infinite parsing loop.
This fix changes the loop counter to be signed and fixes the encoding to
take into account the tlv type and size.

was done from memory region that might not be accessible anymore, as
skb_cow_head might free it and copy the packet. This led to random values
in the external mac header once the values were not set by user.
This fix takes the internal mac header from the packet, after the call to

net: bcmgenet: only use new api ethtool_{get|set}_link_ksettings
Some times ago, a serie of patches were committed :
- commit 62469c7600 ("net: ethernet: bcmgenet: use phydev from struct net_device")
- commit 6b352ebccb ("net: ethernet: broadcom: bcmgenet: use new api ethtool_{get|set}_link_ksettings")
The first patch add a regression on this driver, so it should be reverted.
As the second patch depend on the former, it should be reverted too.
The first patch is buggy because there is a "trick" in this driver.
The structure phydev is kept in the private data when the interface
go down, and used when the interface go up to enable the phy before
the function phy_connect is called.
I don't have this hardware, neither the datasheet. So I won't
update the driver to avoid this trick.
But the real goal of the first serie was to move to the new api
ethtool_{get|set}_link_ksettings. So I provide a new version of
the patch without the "cleaning" of driver to use the phydev
store in the net_device structure.
Changelog:
v3:
- use priv instead of dev (so all the code use the same phydev)
v2:
- use Florian Fainelli patches for the revert instead of Jaedon Shin
- simply use net: bcmgenet: for the prefix of the patch

- we call bcmgenet_mii_reset() from bcmgenet_mii_probe(), but this is

bcmgenet_power_up() to initialize the internal PHY, the NULL check
becomes true, so we do not reset the PHY, yet we keep going on and
initialize the UniMAC, causing MAC activity to occur
- we call bcmgenet_mii_reset() from bcmgenet_mii_probe(), but this is
too late, the PHY is botched, and causes the above bogus pings/packets
transmission/reception to occur

net: fec: updates to align IP header
This patch series is the outcome of investigation into very high
numbers of alignment faults on kernel 4.1.33 from the linux-fslc
tree:
https://github.com/freescale/linux-fslc/tree/4.1-1.0.x-imx
The first two patches remove support for the receive accelerator (RACC) from
the i.MX25 and i.MX27 SoCs which don't support the function.
The third patch enables hardware alignment of the ethernet packet payload
(and especially the IP header) to prevent alignment faults in the IP stack.
Testing on i.MX6UL on the 4.1.33 kernel showed that this patch removed
on the order of 70k alignment faults during a 100MiB transfer using
wget.
Testing on an i.MX6Q (SABRE Lite) board on net-next (4.8.0-rc7) showed
a much more modest improvement from 10's of faults, and it's not clear
why that's the case.
