The kernel calls ndo_set_rx_mode() callback supplying it will all necessary
info, such as device state flags, multicast mac addresses list and so on.
Since we have only 128 bits to communicate with PF we need to initiate
several requests to PF with small/short operation each based on input data.

So this commit implements following PF messages codes along with new
data structures for them:
NIC_MBOX_MSG_RESET_XCAST to flush all filters configured for this
                          particular network interface (VF)
NIC_MBOX_MSG_ADD_MCAST   to add new MAC address to DMAC filter registers
                          for this particular network interface (VF)
NIC_MBOX_MSG_SET_XCAST   to apply filtering configuration to filter control
                          register

The ThunderX NIC could be partitioned to up to 128 VFs and thus
represented to system. Each VF is mapped to pair BGX:LMAC, and each of VF
is configured by kernel individually. Eventually the bunch of VFs could be
mapped onto same pair BGX:LMAC and thus could cause several multicast
filtering configuration requests to LMAC with the same MAC addresses.

This commit is to add ThunderX NIC BGX filtering manipulation routines.

The ThunderX NIC has two Ethernet Interfaces (BGX) each of them could has
up to four Logical MACs configured. Each of BGX has 32 filters to be
configured for filtering ingress packets. The number of filters available
to particular LMAC is from 8 (if we have four LMACs configured per BGX)
up to 32 (in case of only one LMAC is configured per BGX).

At the same time the NIC could present up to 128 VFs to OS as network
interfaces, each of them kernel will configure with set of MAC addresses
for filtering. So to prevent dupes in BGX filter registers from different
network interfaces it is required to cache and track all filter
configuration requests prior to applying them onto BGX filter registers.

This commit is to update LMAC structures with control fields to
allocate/releasing filters tracking list along with implementing
dmac array allocate/release per LMAC.

The ThunderX NIC has set of registers which allows to configure
filter policy for ingress packets. There are three possible regimes
of filtering multicasts, broadcasts and unicasts: accept all, reject all
and accept filter allowed only.

Current implementation has enum with all of them and two generic macro
for enabling filtering et all (CAM_ACCEPT) and enabling/disabling
broadcast packets, which also should be corrected in order to represent
register bits properly. All these values are private for driver and
there is no need to ‘publish’ them via header file.

This commit is to move filtering register manipulation values from
header file into source with explicit assignment of exact register
values to them to be used while register configuring.

Meson8m2 support for dwmac-meson8b

The Meson8m2 SoC is an updated version of the Meson8 SoC. Some of the
peripherals are shared with Meson8b (for example the watchdog registers
and the internal temperature sensor calibration procedure).
Meson8m2 also seems to include the same Gigabit MAC register layout as
Meson8b.

The registers in the Amlogic dwmac "glue" seem identical between Meson8b
and Meson8m2. Manual testing seems to confirm this.

To be extra-safe a new compatible string is added because there's no

This commit has fix for RX traffic issues when we stress test the driver
with continuous ifconfig up/down under very high traffic conditions.

Reason for the issue is that, in existing liquidio_stop function NAPI is
disabled even before actual FW/HW interface is brought down via
send_rx_ctrl_cmd(lio, 0). Between time frame of NAPI disable and actual
interface down in firmware, firmware continuously enqueues rx traffic to
host. When interrupt happens for new packets, host irq handler fails in
scheduling NAPI as the NAPI is already disabled.

After "ifconfig <iface> up", Host re-enables NAPI but cannot schedule it
until it receives another Rx interrupt. Host never receives Rx interrupt as
it never cleared the Rx interrupt it received during interface down
operation. NIC Rx interrupt gets cleared only when Host processes queue and
clears the queue counts. Above anomaly leads to other issues like packet
overflow in FW/HW queues, backpressure.

Fix:
This commit fixes this issue by disabling NAPI only after informing
firmware to stop queueing packets to host via send_rx_ctrl_cmd(lio, 0).
send_rx_ctrl_cmd is not visible in the patch as it is already there in the
code. The DOWN command also waits for any pending packets to be processed
by NAPI so that the deadlock will not occur.

Close race between {un, }register_netdevice_notifier and pernet_operations

the problem is {,un}register_netdevice_notifier() do not take
pernet_ops_rwsem, and they don't see network namespaces, being
initialized in setup_net() and cleanup_net(), since at this
time net is not hashed to net_namespace_list.

This may lead to imbalance, when a notifier is called at time of
setup_net()/net is alive, but it's not called at time of cleanup_net(),
for the devices, hashed to the net, and vise versa. See (3/3) for
the scheme of imbalance.

This patchset fixes the problem by acquiring pernet_ops_rwsem
at the time of {,un}register_netdevice_notifier() (3/3).
(1-2/3) are preparations in xfrm and netfilter subsystems.

The problem was introduced a long ago, but backporting won't be easy,
since every previous kernel version may have changes in netdevice
notifiers, and they all need review and testing. Otherwise, there
may be more pernet_operations, which register or unregister
netdevice notifiers, and that leads to deadlock (which is was fixed
in 1-2/3). This patchset is for net-next.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

{un,}register_netdevice_notifier() iterate over all net namespaces
hashed to net_namespace_list. But pernet_operations register and
unregister netdevices in unhashed net namespace, and they are not
seen for netdevice notifiers. This results in asymmetry:

1)Race with register_netdevice_notifier()
  pernet_operations::init(net)	...
   register_netdevice()		...
    call_netdevice_notifiers()  ...
      ... nb is not called ...
  ...				register_netdevice_notifier(nb) -> net skipped
  ...				...
  list_add_tail(&net->list, ..) ...

  Then, userspace stops using net, and it's destructed:

  pernet_operations::exit(net)
   unregister_netdevice()
    call_netdevice_notifiers()
      ... nb is called ...

This always happens with net::loopback_dev, but it may be not the only device.

2)Race with unregister_netdevice_notifier()
  pernet_operations::init(net)
   register_netdevice()
    call_netdevice_notifiers()
      ... nb is called ...

  Then, userspace stops using net, and it's destructed:

  list_del_rcu(&net->list)	...
  pernet_operations::exit(net)  unregister_netdevice_notifier(nb) -> net skipped
   dev_change_net_namespace()	...
    call_netdevice_notifiers()
      ... nb is not called ...
   unregister_netdevice()
    call_netdevice_notifiers()
      ... nb is not called ...

This race is more danger, since dev_change_net_namespace() moves real
network devices, which use not trivial netdevice notifiers, and if this
will happen, the system will be left in unpredictable state.

The patch closes the race. During the testing I found two places,
where register_netdevice_notifier() is called from pernet init/exit
methods (which led to deadlock) and fixed them (see previous patches).

The review moved me to one more unusual registration place:
raw_init() (can driver). It may be a reason of problems,
if someone creates in-kernel CAN_RAW sockets, since they
will be destroyed in exit method and raw_release()
will call unregister_netdevice_notifier(). But grep over
kernel tree does not show, someone creates such sockets
from kernel space.

Theoretically, there can be more places like this, and which are
hidden from review, but we found them on the first bumping there
(since there is no a race, it will be 100% reproducible).

nfp: flower: handle MTU changes

This set improves MTU handling for flower offload.  The max MTU is

(and indirectly HW).
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Trigger a port mod message to request an MTU change on the NIC when any
physical port representor is assigned a new MTU value. The driver waits
10 msec for an ack that the FW has set the MTU. If no ack is received the
request is rejected and an appropriate warning flagged.

Rather than maintain an MTU queue per repr, one is maintained per app.
Because the MTU ndo is protected by the rtnl lock, there can never be
contention here. Portmod messages from the NIC are also protected by
rtnl so we first check if the portmod is an ack and, if so, handle outside
rtnl and the cmsg work queue.

Acks are detected by the marking of a bit in a portmod response. They are
then verfied by checking the port number and MTU value expected by the
app. If the expected MTU is 0 then no acks are currently expected.

Also, ensure that the packet headroom reserved by the flower firmware is
considered when accepting an MTU change on any repr.

net: Broadcom drivers coalescing fixes

Following Tal's review of the adaptive RX/TX coalescing feature added to the
SYSTEMPORT and GENET driver a number of things showed up:

- adaptive TX coalescing is not actually a good idea with the current way
  the estimator will program the ring, this results in a higher CPU load, NAPI
  on TX already does a reasonably good job at maintaining the interrupt count low

- both SYSTEMPORT and GENET would suffer from the same issues while configuring
  coalescing parameters where the values would just not be applied correctly
  based on user settings, so we fix that too

the new behavior appears to be implemented correctly.

  adaptive RX coalescing would be enabled, do this only if it was disabled before

There were a number of issues with setting the RX coalescing parameters:

- we would not be preserving values that would have been configured
  across close/open calls, instead we would always reset to no timeout
  and 1 interrupt per packet, this would also prevent DIM from setting its
  default usec/pkts values

- when adaptive RX would be turned on, we woud not be fetching the
  default parameters, we would stay with no timeout/1 packet per interrupt
  until the estimator kicks in and changes that

- finally disabling adaptive RX coalescing while providing parameters
  would not be honored, and we would stay with whatever DIM had previously
  determined instead of the user requested parameters

Adaptive TX coalescing is not currently giving us any advantages and
ends up making the CPU spin more frequently until TX completion. Deny
and disable adaptive TX coalescing for now and rely on static
configuration, we can always add it back later.
