      sfc:On MCDI timeout, issue an FLR (and mark MCDI to fail-fast) · e283546c
      Edward Cree authored
      When an MCDI command times out (whether or not we find it
      completed when we poll), call efx_mcdi_abandon(), which tells
      all subsequent MCDI calls to fail-fast, and queues up an FLR.
      
      Because an FLR doesn't lead to receiving any reboot even from
      the MC (unlike most other types of reset), we have to call
      efx_ef10_reset_mc_allocations.
      In efx_start_all(), if a reset (of any kind) is pending, we
      bail out.
      Without this, attempts to reconfigure (e.g. change mtu) can
      cause driver/mc state inconsistency if the first MCDI call
      triggers an FLR.
      
      For similar reasons, on EF10, in
      efx_reset_down(method=RESET_TYPE_MCDI_TIMEOUT), set the number
      of active queues to zero before calling efx_stop_all().
      And, on farch, in efx_reset_up(method=RESET_TYPE_MCDI_TIMEOUT),
      set active_queues and flushes pending & outstanding to zero.
      
      efx_mcdi_mode_{poll,event}() should not take us out of fail-fast
       mode. Instead, this is done by efx_mcdi_reset() after the FLR
      completes.
      
      The new FLR reset_type RESET_TYPE_MCDI_TIMEOUT doesn't really
      fit into the hierarchy of reset 'scopes' whereby efx_reset()
      decides some resets subsume others.  Thus, it uses separate logic.
      
      Also, fixed up some inconsistency around RESET_TYPE_MC_BIST,
      which was in the wrong place in that hierarchy.

       5) Fix seccomp system call argument population on 32-bit, from Daniel
          Borkmann.
      
       6) skb_network_protocol() should not use hard-coded ETH_HLEN, instead
          skb->mac_len needs to be used.  From Vlad Yasevich.
      
       7) We have several cases of using socket based communications to
          implement a tunnel.  For example, some tunnels are encapsulations
          over UDP so we use an internal kernel UDP socket to do the
          transmits.
      
          These tunnels should behave just like other software devices and
          pass the packets on down to the next layer.
      
          Most importantly we want the top-level socket (eg TCP) that created
          the traffic to be charged for the SKB memory.
      
          However, once you get into the IP output path, we have code that
          assumed that whatever was attached to skb->sk is an IP socket.
      
          To keep the top-level socket being charged for the SKB memory,
          whilst satisfying the needs of the IP output path, we now pass in an
          explicit 'sk' argument.
      
          From Eric Dumazet.
      
       8) ping_init_sock() leaks group info, from Xiaoming Wang.
