      ====================
      net: dsa: Make bcm_sf2 utilize b53_common
      
      This patch series makes the bcm_sf2 driver utilize a large number of the core
      functions offered by the b53_common driver since the SWITCH_CORE registers are
      mostly register compatible with the switches driven by b53_common.
      
      In order to accomplish that, we just override the dsa_driver_ops callbacks that
      we need to. There are still integration specific logic from the bcm_sf2 that we
      cannot absorb into b53_common because it is just not there, mostly in the area
      of link management and power management, but most of the features are within
      b53_common now: VLAN, FDB, bridge
      
      Along the process, we also improve support for the BCM58xx SoCs, since those
      also have the same version of the switching IP that 7445 has (for which bcm_sf2
      was developed).
      
      Changes in v3:
      
      - rebase against 145dd5f9 ("net: flush the
        softnet backlog in process context")
      
      Changes in v2:
      
      - rebased against "net: dsa: rename switch operations structure"

      Now that we are using b53_common for most VLAN, FDB and bridge
      operations, delete all the redundant code that we had in bcm_sf2.c to
      keep only the integration specific logic that we have to deal with:
      power management, link management and the external interfaces (RGMII,
      MDIO).

      net: dsa: bcm_sf2: Utilize core B53 driver when possible · f458995b
      Florian Fainelli authored
      The Broadcom Starfighter2 is almost entirely register compatible with
      B53, yet for historical reasons came up first in the tree and is now
      being updated to utilize b53_common.c to the fullest extent possible. A
      few things need to be adjusted to allow that:
      
      - the switch "core" registers currently operate on a 32-bit address,
        whereas b53 passes a page + reg pair to offset from, so we need to
        convert that, thankfully there is a generic formula to do that
      
      - the link managemenent is not self contained with the B53/CORE register
        set, but instead is in the SWITCH_REG block which is part of the
        integration glue logic, so we keep that entirely custom here because
        this really is part of the existing bcm_sf2 implementation
      
      - there are additional power management constraints on the port's
        memories that make us keep the port_enable/disable callbacks custom
        for now, also, we support tagging whereas b53_common does not support
        that yet
      
      All the VLAN and bridge code is entirely identical though so, avoid
      duplicating it. Other things will be migrated in the future like EEE and
      possibly Wake-on-LAN.

      mlxsw: Introduce support for offload forward mark
      
      Ido says:
      This patchset enables the forwarding of certain control packets by the
      device instead of relying on the CPU to do the forwarding.
      
      The first two patches simplify the current switchdev offload forward
      infrastructure and make it usable for stacked devices. This is done by
      moving the packet and port marking to the bridge driver instead of the
      switch driver.
      
      Patches 3-5 add the mlxsw specific bits to support the forward mark.

      mlxsw: spectrum: Mirror certain packets to CPU · 1c6c6d22
      Ido Schimmel authored
      Instead of trapping certain packets to the CPU and then relying on it to
      flood them we can instead make the device mirror them.
      
      The following packet types are mirrored:
      
      * DHCP: Broadcast packets that should be flooded by the device, but also
      trapped in case CPU is running the DHCP server.
      
      * IGMP query: Multicast packets that need to be forwarded to other
      bridge ports, but also trapped so that receiving netdev will be marked
      as a router port by the bridge driver.
      
      * ARP request: Broadcast packets that should be forwarded to other
      bridge ports, but also trapped in case requested IP is of the local
      machine.
      
      * ARP response: Unicast packets that should be forwarded by the bridge
      but also trapped in case response is directed at us.
      
      Set the trap action of such packets to mirror and mark them using
      'offload_fwd_mark' to prevent the bridge driver from forwarding them
      itself.
      
      Note that OSPF packets are also marked despite their action being trap.
      The reason for this is that the device traps such packets in the
      pipeline after they were already flooded.

      bridge: switchdev: Add forward mark support for stacked devices · 6bc506b4
      Ido Schimmel authored
      switchdev_port_fwd_mark_set() is used to set the 'offload_fwd_mark' of
      port netdevs so that packets being flooded by the device won't be
      flooded twice.
      
      It works by assigning a unique identifier (the ifindex of the first
      bridge port) to bridge ports sharing the same parent ID. This prevents
      packets from being flooded twice by the same switch, but will flood
      packets through bridge ports belonging to a different switch.
      
      This method is problematic when stacked devices are taken into account,
      such as VLANs. In such cases, a physical port netdev can have upper
      devices being members in two different bridges, thus requiring two
      different 'offload_fwd_mark's to be configured on the port netdev, which
      is impossible.
      
      The main problem is that packet and netdev marking is performed at the
      physical netdev level, whereas flooding occurs between bridge ports,
      which are not necessarily port netdevs.
      
      Instead, packet and netdev marking should really be done in the bridge
      driver with the switch driver only telling it which packets it already
      forwarded. The bridge driver will mark such packets using the mark
      assigned to the ingress bridge port and will prevent the packet from
      being forwarded through any bridge port sharing the same mark (i.e.
      having the same parent ID).
      
      Remove the current switchdev 'offload_fwd_mark' implementation and
      instead implement the proposed method. In addition, make rocker - the
      sole user of the mark - use the proposed method.

      net: flush the softnet backlog in process context · 145dd5f9
      Paolo Abeni authored
      Currently in process_backlog(), the process_queue dequeuing is
      performed with local IRQ disabled, to protect against
      flush_backlog(), which runs in hard IRQ context.
      
      This patch moves the flush operation to a work queue and runs the
      callback with bottom half disabled to protect the process_queue
      against dequeuing.
      Since process_queue is now always manipulated in bottom half context,
      the irq disable/enable pair around the dequeue operation are removed.
      
      To keep the flush time as low as possible, the flush
      works are scheduled on all online cpu simultaneously, using the
      high priority work-queue and statically allocated, per cpu,
      work structs.
      
      Overall this change increases the time required to destroy a device
      to improve slightly the packets reinjection performances.

      bnx2x: Don't flush multicast MACs · c7b7b483
      Yuval Mintz authored
      When ndo_set_rx_mode() is called for bnx2x, as part of process of
      configuring the new MAC address filters [both unicast & multicast]
      driver begins by flushing the existing configuration and then iterating
      over the network device's list of addresses and configures those instead.
      
      This has the side-effect of creating a short gap where traffic wouldn't
      be properly classified, as no filters are configured in HW.
      While for unicasts this is rather insignificant [as unicast MACs don't
      frequently change while interface is actually running],
      for multicast traffic it does pose an issue as there are multicast-based
      networks where new multicast groups would constantly be removed and
      added.
      
      This patch tries to remedy this [at least for the newer adapters] -
      Instead of flushing & reconfiguring all existing multicast filters,
      the driver would instead create the approximate hash match that would
      result from the required filters. It would then compare it against the
      currently configured approximate hash match, and only add and remove the
      delta between those.

      ====================
      rxrpc: Add better client conn management strategy
      
      These two patches add a better client connection management strategy.  They
      need to be applied on top of the just-posted fixes.
      
       (1) Duplicate the connection list and separate out procfs iteration from
           garbage collection.  This is necessary for the next patch as with that
           client connections no longer appear on a single list and may not
           appear on a list at all - and really don't want to be exposed to the
           old garbage collector.
      
           (Note that client conns aren't left dangling, they're also in a tree
           rooted in the local endpoint so that they can be found by a user
           wanting to make a new client call.  Service conns do not appear in
           this tree.)
      
       (2) Implement a better lifetime management and garbage collection strategy
           for client connections.
      
           In this, a client connection can be in one of five cache states
           (inactive, waiting, active, culled and idle).  Limits are set on the
           number of client conns that may be active at any one time and makes
           users wait if they want to start a new call when there isn't capacity
           available.
      
           To make capacity available, active and idle connections can be culled,
           after a short delay (to allow for retransmission).  The delay is
           reduced if the capacity exceeds a tunable threshold.
      
           If there is spare capacity, client conns are permitted to hang around
           a fair bit longer (tunable) so as to allow reuse of negotiated
           security contexts.
      
           After this patch, the client conn strategy is separate from that of
           service conns (which continues to use the old code for the moment).
      
           This difference in strategy is because the client side retains control
           over when it allows a connection to become active, whereas the service
           side has no control over when it sees a new connection or a new call
           on an old connection.
