Some multicast addresses are common to all macvlans,
so if a multicast message has a hash value collision, we
have to deliver a copy to all macvlans, adding significant
latency and possible packet drops if netdev_max_backlog
limit is hit.
Having a per macvlan hash function permits to reduce the
impact of hash collisions.

The BCM4785 or sometimes named BMC4705 is a Broadcom SoC which a
Gigabit 5750 Ethernet core. The core is connected via PCI with the rest
of the SoC, but it uses some extension.
This core does not use a firmware or an eeprom.
Some devices only have a switch which supports 100MBit/s, this
currently does not work with this driver.
This patch was original written by Michael Buesch <m@bues.ch> and is in
OpenWrt for some years now.
This was tested on a Linksys WRT610N V1 and older versions of this patch
were tested by other people on different devices.

====================
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()

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

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.

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.

The ipv6 route.c conflict is simple, just ignore the 'net' side change
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

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.
