Add support for yet another ARM member of the R-Car family, R-Car M2, also known
as R8A7791 -- it will share the code and data with previously added R8A7790.
Despite the Ether devices in these SoCs are indistinguishable at least from the
driver's point of view, we do introduce a new platform device ID "r8a7791-ether"
unlike the wildcard ID used for R8A7778/9 SoCs, due to newly established policy
for the Renesas SoCs.

====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates
This series contains updates to i40e, igb, ixgbe and ixgbevf.
Shannon provides a couple of i40e patches, first restricts the ethtool
diag test messages by using netif_info() macro to when the hardware
bit is enabled in the message level netdev message mask. Second
provides a fix for when there is an out-of-range descriptor request.
Kamil provides a fix for i40e by updating the loopback enum types and
add information about the current loopback mode to data returned from
get_link_info().
Jesse provides a fix for i40e define name that was being mis-used.
I40E_ITR_NONE was being used as an ITRN register index by accident
because it was easily associated with the i40e Rx ITR and friends
defines, when it should be associated with the DYN_CTL register sets.
Jacob provides an update for ixgbevf Kconfig description since the VF
driver supports more than just the 82599 device.
Don and Alex provide a cleanup patch for ixgbe to make it where head,
tail, next to clean and next to use are all reset in a single function
for both Tx and Rx path. Before, the code for this was spread out over
several areas which made it difficult to track what the values were for
each of the values.
Carolyn provides two igb patches to add a media switching feature for
i354 PHY's and new Media Auto Sense for 82580 devices only.
Aaron Sierra provides a fix for igb to resolve an issue with the 64-bit
PCI addresses being truncated because the return values of
pci_resource_start() and pci_resouce_end() were being cast to unsigned
long.
Guenter Roeck provides two igb patches, first simplifies the code by
attaching the hwmon sysfs attributes to hwmon device instead of the
PCI device. Second fixes the temperature sensor attribute index by
setting it to 1 instead of 0 (per hwmon ABI).

I've realized that I need to call ethtool command to get Ethernet
working after booting. Ex call: ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on
It was fixing Ethernet even if auto-negotiation was already on.
Adding calls to phy_start and phy_stop look like a real solution.

Simplify the code. Attach hwmon sysfs attributes to hwmon device
instead of pci device. Avoid race conditions caused by attributes
being created after registration and provide mandatory 'name'
attribute by using new hwmon API.
Other cleanup:
Instead of allocating memory for hwmon attributes, move attributes

the entire structure using devm_kzalloc.

This patch adds support for the hardware feature Media Auto Sense. This
feature requires a custom EEPROM image provided by our customer support
team. The feature allows hardware designed with dual PHY's, fiber and
copper to be used with either media without additional EEPROM changes.
Fiber is preferred and driver will swap and configure for fiber media if
sensed by the device at any time. Device will swap back to copper if it
is the only media detected.

MPTs
Commit f4ec9e9 "mlx4_core: Change bitmap allocator to work in round-robin fashion"
introduced round-robin allocation (via bitmap) for all resources which allocate
via a bitmap.
Round robin allocation is desirable for mcgs, counters, pd's, UARs, and xrcds.
These are simply numbers, with no involvement of ICM memory mapping.
Round robin is required for QPs, since we had a problem with immediate
reuse of a 24-bit QP number (commit f4ec9e9).
However, for other resources which use the bitmap allocator and involve
mapping ICM memory -- MPTs, CQs, SRQs -- round-robin is not desirable.
What happens in these cases is the following:
ICM memory is allocated and mapped in chunks of 256K.
Since the resource allocation index goes up monotonically, the allocator
will eventually require mapping a new chunk. Now, chunks are also unmapped
when their reference count goes back to zero. Thus, if a single app is
running and starts/exits frequently we will have the following situation:
When the app starts, a new chunk must be allocated and mapped.
When the app exits, the chunk reference count goes back to zero, and the
chunk is unmapped and freed. Therefore, the app must pay the cost of allocation
and mapping of ICM memory each time it runs (although the price is paid only when
allocating the initial entry in the new chunk).
For apps which allocate MPTs/SRQs/CQs and which operate as described above,
this presented a performance problem.
We therefore roll back the round-robin allocator modification for MPTs, CQs, SRQs.

We were already registering MDIO bus, but we were not connecting bgmac
to the PHY. Add proper call and implement adjust link function to switch
MAC into requested state.
At the same time it's possible to drop our internal PHY management.
This is a "standard" PHY, so the "Generic PHY" driver works perfectly
fine with this. Don't duplicate the code.
Finally make use of phy_ethtool_[gs]set functions instead implementing
them from scratch.
This change was successfully tested on BCM5357. I was able to
autonegotiate 1000Mb/s full duplex, as well as force any of the

====================
neigh: respect default parms values
This is a long standing regression. But since the patchset is bigger and
the regression happened in 2007, I'm proposing this to net-next instead.
Basically the problem is that if user wants to use /etc/sysctl.conf to specify
default values of neigh related params, he is not able to do that.
The reason is that the default values are copied to dev instance right after
netdev is registered. And that is way to early. The original behaviour
for ipv4 was that this happened after first address was assigned to device.
For ipv6 this was apparently from the very beginning.
So this patchset basically reverts the behaviour back to what it was in 2007 for
ipv4 and changes the behaviour for ipv6 so they are both the same.
====================

Previously inet devices were only constructed when addresses are added.
Therefore the default neigh parms values they get are the ones at the
time of these operations.
Now that we're creating inet devices earlier, this changes the behaviour
of default neigh parms values in an incompatible way (see bug #8519).
This patch creates a compromise by setting the default values at the
same point as before but only for those that have not been explicitly
set by the user since the inet device's creation.

There are quite a lot of drivers touching a PHY device MII_BMCR
register to reset the PHY without taking care of:
1) ensuring that BMCR_RESET is cleared after a given timeout
2) the PHY state machine resuming to the proper state and re-applying
potentially changed settings such as auto-negotiation
Introduce phy_poll_reset() which will take care of polling the MII_BMCR
for the BMCR_RESET bit to be cleared after a given timeout or return a
timeout error code.

The way that flow control works without this patch is that, in start_xmit()
the code uses xenvif_count_skb_slots() to predict how many slots
xenvif_gop_skb() will consume and then adds this to a 'req_cons_peek'
counter which it then uses to determine if the shared ring has that amount
of space available by checking whether 'req_prod' has passed that value.
If the ring doesn't have space the tx queue is stopped.
xenvif_gop_skb() will then consume slots and update 'req_cons' and issue
responses, updating 'rsp_prod' as it goes. The frontend will consume those
responses and post new requests, by updating req_prod. So, req_prod chases
req_cons which chases rsp_prod, and can never exceed that value. Thus if
xenvif_count_skb_slots() ever returns a number of slots greater than
xenvif_gop_skb() uses, req_cons_peek will get to a value that req_prod cannot
possibly achieve (since it's limited by the 'real' req_cons) and, if this
happens enough times, req_cons_peek gets more than a ring size ahead of
req_cons and the tx queue then remains stopped forever waiting for an
unachievable amount of space to become available in the ring.
Having two routines trying to calculate the same value is always going to be
fragile, so this patch does away with that. All we essentially need to do is
make sure that we have 'enough stuff' on our internal queue without letting
it build up uncontrollably. So start_xmit() makes a cheap optimistic check
of how much space is needed for an skb and only turns the queue off if that
is unachievable. net_rx_action() is the place where we could do with an
accurate predicition but, since that has proven tricky to calculate, a cheap
worse-case (but not too bad) estimate is all we really need since the only
thing we *must* prevent is xenvif_gop_skb() consuming more slots than are
available.
Without this patch I can trivially stall netback permanently by just doing
a large guest to guest file copy between two Windows Server 2008R2 VMs on a
single host.

struct 'tipc_bearer' is a generic representation of the underlying
media type, and exists in a one-to-one relationship to each interface
TIPC is using. The struct contains a 'blocked' flag that mirrors the
operational and execution state of the represented interface, and is
updated through notification calls from the latter. The users of
tipc_bearer are checking this flag before each attempt to send a
packet via the interface.
This state mirroring serves no purpose in the current code base. TIPC
links will not discover a media failure any faster through this
mechanism, and in reality the flag only adds overhead at packet
sending and reception.
Furthermore, the fact that the flag needs to be protected by a spinlock
aggregated into tipc_bearer has turned out to cause a serious and
completely unnecessary deadlock problem.

Time 3: k_cancel_timer(&req->timer) spin_lock_bh(&b_ptr->lock)
Time 4: del_timer_sync(&req->timer)
I.e., del_timer_sync() on CPU0 never returns, because the timer handler
on CPU1 is waiting for the bearer lock.
We eliminate the 'blocked' flag from struct tipc_bearer, along with all
tests on this flag. This not only resolves the deadlock, but also
simplifies and speeds up the data path execution of TIPC. It also fits
well into our ongoing effort to make the locking policy simpler and
more manageable.
An effect of this change is that we can get rid of functions such as
tipc_bearer_blocked(), tipc_continue() and tipc_block_bearer().
We replace the latter with a new function, tipc_reset_bearer(), which
resets all links associated to the bearer immediately after an
interface goes down.
A user might notice one slight change in link behaviour after this
change. When an interface goes down, (e.g. through a NETDEV_DOWN
event) all attached links will be reset immediately, instead of
leaving it to each link to detect the failure through a timer-driven
mechanism. We consider this an improvement, and see no obvious risks
with the new behavior.

This patch introduces a PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket option, that
allows for using a similar xmit() function as in pktgen instead
of taking the dev_queue_xmit() path. This can be very useful when
PF_PACKET applications are required to be used in a similar
scenario as pktgen, but with full, flexible packet payload that
needs to be provided, for example.
On default, nothing changes in behaviour for normal PF_PACKET
TX users, so everything stays as is for applications. New users,
however, can now set PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS if needed to prevent
own packets from i) reentering packet_rcv() and ii) to directly
push the frame to the driver.
In doing so we can increase pps (here 64 byte packets) for
PF_PACKET a bit:
# CPUs -- QDISC_BYPASS -- qdisc path -- qdisc path[**]
1 CPU == 1,509,628 pps -- 1,208,708 -- 1,247,436
2 CPUs == 3,198,659 pps -- 2,536,012 -- 1,605,779
3 CPUs == 4,787,992 pps -- 3,788,740 -- 1,735,610
4 CPUs == 6,173,956 pps -- 4,907,799 -- 1,909,114
5 CPUs == 7,495,676 pps -- 5,956,499 -- 2,014,422

[**]: qdisc path with packet_rcv(), how probably most people
seem to use it (hopefully not anymore if not needed)
The test was done using a modified trafgen, sending a simple
static 64 bytes packet, on all CPUs. The trick in the fast
"qdisc path" case, is to avoid reentering packet_rcv() by
setting the RAW socket protocol to zero, like:
socket(PF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, 0);
Tradeoffs are documented as well in this patch, clearly, if
queues are busy, we will drop more packets, tc disciplines are
ignored, and these packets are not visible to taps anymore. For
a pktgen like scenario, we argue that this is acceptable.
The pointer to the xmit function has been placed in packet
socket structure hole between cached_dev and prot_hook that
is hot anyway as we're working on cached_dev in each send path.
Done in joint work together with Jesper Dangaard Brouer.
