A buggy or malicious frontend should not be able to confuse netback.
If we spot anything which is not as it should be then shutdown the
device and don't try to continue with the ring in a potentially
hostile state. Well behaved and non-hostile frontends will not be
penalised.
As well as making the existing checks for such errors fatal also add a
new check that ensures that there isn't an insane number of requests
on the ring (i.e. more than would fit in the ring). If the ring
contains garbage then previously is was possible to loop over this
insane number, getting an error each time and therefore not generating
any more pending requests and therefore not exiting the loop in
xen_netbk_tx_build_gops for an externded period.
Also turn various netdev_dbg calls which no precipitate a fatal error
into netdev_err, they are rate limited because the device is shutdown
afterwards.
This fixes at least one known DoS/softlockup of the backend domain.

Amir Vadai says:
====================
This series from Yan Burman adds support for unicast MAC address filtering and
ndo FDB operations. It also includes some optimizations to loopback related
decisions and checks in the TX/RX fast path and one cleanup, all in separate
patches.
Today, when adding macvlan devices, the NIC goes into promiscuous mode, since
unicast MAC filtering is not supported. With these changes, macvlan devices can
be added without the penalty of promiscuous mode.
If for some reason adding a unicast address filter fails e.g as of missing space in
the HW mac table, the device forces itself into promiscuous mode (and out of this
forced state when enough space is available).
Also, now it is possible to have bridge under multi-function configuration that include
PF and VFs. In order to use bridge over PF/VFs, VM MAC fdb entries must be added e.g.
using 'bridge fdb add' command.
Changes from v1 - based on more comments from Eric Dumazet:
* added failure handling when adding unicast address filter
Changes from v0 - based on comments from Eric Dumazet:
* Removed unneeded synchronize_rcu()
* Use kfree_rcu() instead of synchronize_rcu() + kfree()

Add support for setting embedded switch fdb in case of SRIOV, by
implementing ndo_fdb_{add, del, dump}. This will allow to use
bridged configuration with multi-function. In order to add VM MAC
to the eSwitch fdb, the following command may be used over the relevant function interface:
bridge fdb add <MAC> permanent self dev <IFACE>

Currently, mlx4_en_do_set_multicast serves as the ndo_set_rx_mode entry for mlx4_en,
doing all related work. Split it to few calls, one per required functionality
(e.g multicast, promiscuous, etc) and rename some structures and calls
to use rx_mode notation instead of multicast.

Move low level code that deals with management of Ethernet MACs and QPs from mlx4_core to mlx4_en.
Also convert the new functions to deal with MACs in form of char array instead of u64.
Actual functions moved:
mlx4_replace_mac
mlx4_get_eth_qp
mlx4_put_eth_qp
To conduct this change, some functionality had to be exported from the core,
the following functions were added:
mlx4_get_base_qp
__mlx4_replace_mac (low level function for CX1/A0 compatibility)

Currently, RX path code that does RX filtering is not optimized
and does an expensive conversion. In order to use ether_addr_equal_64bits
which is optimized for such cases, we need the MAC address kept by the device
to be in the form of unsigned char array instead of u64. Store the MAC address
as unsigned char array and convert to/from u64 out of the fast path when needed.
Side effect of this is that we no longer need priv->mac, since it's the same
as dev->dev_addr.
This optimization was suggested by Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>

Currently there are relatively complex conditional checks in the fast path,
for TX loopback enabling and resulting RX filter logic.
Move elaborate if's out of data path, replace them with a single flag
for each state and update that state from appropriate places.
Also, in native (non SRIOV) mode and not in loopback or in selftest,
there is no need to try and filter out packets that HW loopback-ed,
as in native mode we do not loopback packets anymore.

Some modes don't require any special carrier handling so
in these cases, the kernel can control the carrier as for
any other interface. However, some other modes, e.g. lacp,
requires more than just that, so userspace needs to control
the carrier itself.
The daemon today is ready to control it, but the kernel
still can change it based on events.
This fix so that either kernel or userspace is controlling
the carrier.

====================
This series contains updates to e1000e and ixgbe. Majority of the patches
are against e1000e, where Bruce makes several cosmetic #define moves into
header files. In addition, Bruce does a cleanup of braces to resolve
checkpatch warnings (when using the strict option).
Ixgbe patches contain several fixes as well as updating the copyright. The
fixes from Josh Hay, resolved a possible NULL pointer dereference and
resolved Smatch warnings by fixing return values and memcpy parameters.
Alex provides 2 fixes, the first is to replace rmb() with
read_barrier_depends() in the Tx cleanup. The second fixes an MTU
warning when using SR-IOV which corrects the fact that we were using 1522
to test for the max frame size in ixgbe_change_mtu and 1518 in
ixgbe_set_vf_lpe. The difference was the addition of VLAN_HLEN, which we
only need to add in the case of computing a buffer size, but not a filter
size. Lastly, a patch from Emil which is based on a community patch from
Aurélien Guillaume which adds functions needed for reading SFF-8472
diagnostic data from SFP modules.

as we fixed the same problem in 'net-next' by eliminating cached
neighbours from ipv6 routes.
The e1000e conflict is an addition of a new statistic in the ethtool
code, trivial.
The vmxnet3 conflict is about one change in 'net' removing a guarding
conditional, whilst in 'net-next' we had a netdev_info() conversion.
The iwlwifi conflict is dealing with a WARN_ON() conversion in
'net-next' vs. a revert happening in 'net'.

Commit 08ff32352d6f ("mlx4: 64-byte CQE/EQE support") introduced a
regression where older guest VF drivers failed to load even when
64-byte EQEs/CQEs are disabled, since the PF wrongly advertises the
new context behaviour anyway. The failure looks like:
mlx4_core 0000:00:07.0: Unknown pf context behaviour
mlx4_core 0000:00:07.0: Failed to obtain slave caps
mlx4_core: probe of 0000:00:07.0 failed with error -38
Fix this by basing this advertisement on dev->caps.flags, which is the
operational capabilities used by the QUERY_FUNC_CAP command wrapper
(dev_cap->flags holds the firmware capabilities).

With new transports coming up, move to threaded
interrupt handling now. This has the advantage
that we can use the same locking scheme with all
different transports we may need to implement.
Note that the TX path obviously still runs in a
tasklet, so some spin_lock() calls need to change
to spin_lock_bh() calls to properly lock out the
TX path.
In my test on a Calpella platform this has no
impact on throughput or latency.
Also add lockdep annotations to avoid lockups due
to catch sending synchronous commands or using
locks that connect with them from the irq thread.

"gianfar: Pack struct gfar_priv_grp into three cachelines"
causes the following null dereference at driver init on sbc8548:
libphy: Freescale PowerQUICC MII Bus: probed
Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000000
Faulting instruction address: 0xc01d6a38

[ef82dd90] [c01d73a4] gfar_probe+0x284/0xfe0
The reason is that the commit also changed the allocation of the
Rx and error handling irq structs to be skipped for !MQ_MG_MODE.
In the !MQ_MG_MODE case, only the Tx irq struct is allocated.
Digging further, we see that MQ_MG_MODE is set only if we find
the OF compatible string "fsl,etsec2".
A quick grep in the dts directory shows lots of boards that support
Rx/Tx/Err, but without this specific compat string. And hence they
go after the unallocated Rx/Error structs and cause the above oops.
Hence such a change can not be deployed until all the dts files
are updated and sufficiently deployed. Further, the optimization
is of limited value, since the kmalloc'd struct in question has only
a single unsigned int, and an (IFNAMSIZ + 6) sized string.
Note that no changes to the freeing code are needed here, as it
already did an unconditional free of Rx/Tx/Error gfar_irqinfo.

This patch addresses a long standing issue of the driver with the
mac80211 .flush() callback. Since implementing the .flush() callback
a number of issues have been fixed, but a WARN_ON_ONCE() was still
triggered because the timeout on the flush could still occur.
This patch changes the awkward design using msleep() into one using
a waitqueue. The waiting flush() context will kick the transmit dma
when it is idle and the timeout used waiting for the event is set
to 500 ms. Worst case there can be 64 frames outstanding for transmit
in the driver. At a rate of 1Mbps that would take 1.5 seconds assuming
MTU is 1500 bytes and ignoring retries. The WARN_ON_ONCE() is also
removed as this was put in to indicate the flush timeout as a reason
for the driver to stall. That was not happening since fixing endless
AMPDU retries with following upstream commit:

Kernel commits 41affd5 and 6539306 changed the locking in rtl_lps_leave()
from a spinlock to a mutex by doing the calls indirectly from a work queue
to reduce the time that interrupts were disabled. This change was fine for
most systems; however a scheduling while atomic bug was reported in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903881. The backtrace indicates
that routine rtl_is_special(), which calls rtl_lps_leave() in three places
was entered in atomic context. These direct calls are replaced by putting a
request on the appropriate work queue.
