      FDDI: defza: Support capturing outgoing SMT traffic · 9f9a742d
      Maciej W. Rozycki authored 
      DEC FDDIcontroller 700 (DEFZA) uses a Tx/Rx queue pair to communicate
SMT frames with adapter's firmware.  Any SMT frame received from the RMC
via the Rx queue is queued back by the driver to the SMT Rx queue for
the firmware to process.  Similarly the firmware uses the SMT Tx queue
to supply the driver with SMT frames which are queued back to the Tx
queue for the RMC to send to the ring.

When a network tap is attached to an FDDI interface handled by `defza'
any incoming SMT frames captured are queued to our usual processing of
network data received, which in turn delivers them to any listening
taps.

However the outgoing SMT frames produced by the firmware bypass our
network protocol stack and are therefore not delivered to taps.  This in
turn means that taps are missing a part of network traffic sent by the
adapter, which may make it more difficult to track down network problems
or do general traffic analysis.

Call `dev_queue_xmit_nit' then in the SMT Tx path, having checked that
a network tap is attached, with a newly-created `dev_nit_active' helper
wrapping the usual condition used in the transmit path.

      FDDI: defza: Add support for DEC FDDIcontroller 700 TURBOchannel adapter · 61414f5e
      Maciej W. Rozycki authored 
      Add support for the DEC FDDIcontroller 700 (DEFZA), Digital Equipment
Corporation's first-generation FDDI network interface adapter, made for
TURBOchannel and based on a discrete version of what eventually became
Motorola's widely used CAMEL chipset.

The CAMEL chipset is present for example in the DEC FDDIcontroller
TURBOchannel, EISA and PCI adapters (DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA) that we support
with the `defxx' driver, however the host bus interface logic and the
firmware API are different in the DEFZA and hence a separate driver is
required.

There isn't much to say about the driver except that it works, but there
is one peculiarity to mention.  The adapter implements two Tx/Rx queue
pairs.

Of these one pair is the usual network Tx/Rx queue pair, in this case
used by the adapter to exchange frames with the ring, via the RMC (Ring
Memory Controller) chip.  The Tx queue is handled directly by the RMC
chip and resides in onboard packet memory.  The Rx queue is maintained
via DMA in host memory by adapter's firmware copying received data
stored by the RMC in onboard packet memory.

The other pair is used to communicate SMT frames with adapter's
firmware.  Any SMT frame received from the RMC via the Rx queue must be
queued back by the driver to the SMT Rx queue for the firmware to
process.  Similarly the firmware uses the SMT Tx queue to supply the
driver with SMT frames that must be queued back to the Tx queue for the
RMC to send to the ring.

This solution was chosen because the designers ran out of PCB space and
could not squeeze in more logic onto the board that would be required to
handle this SMT frame traffic without the need to involve the driver, as
with the later DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapters.

Finally the driver does some Frame Control byte decoding, so to avoid
magic numbers some macros are added to <linux/if_fddi.h>.

      tun: Consistently configure generic netdev params via rtnetlink · df52eab2
      Serhey Popovych authored 
      Configuring generic network device parameters on tun will fail in
presence of IFLA_INFO_KIND attribute in IFLA_LINKINFO nested attribute
since tun_validate() always return failure.

This can be visualized with following ip-link(8) command sequences:

  # ip link set dev tun0 group 100
  # ip link set dev tun0 group 100 type tun
  RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

with contrast to dummy and veth drivers:

  # ip link set dev dummy0 group 100
  # ip link set dev dummy0 type dummy

  # ip link set dev veth0 group 100
  # ip link set dev veth0 group 100 type veth

Fix by returning zero in tun_validate() when @data is NULL that is
always in case since rtnl_link_ops->maxtype is zero in tun driver.

Fixes: f019a7a5 ("tun: Implement ip link del tunXXX")
