Currently, when the link for $DEV is down, this command succeeds but the
address is removed immediately by DAD (1):
ip addr add 1111::12/64 dev $DEV valid_lft 3600 preferred_lft 1800
In the same situation, this will succeed and not remove the address (2):
ip addr add 1111::12/64 dev $DEV
ip addr change 1111::12/64 dev $DEV valid_lft 3600 preferred_lft 1800
The comment in addrconf_dad_begin() when !IF_READY makes it look like
this is the intended behavior, but doesn't explain why:
* If the device is not ready:
* - keep it tentative if it is a permanent address.
* - otherwise, kill it.
We clearly cannot prevent userspace from doing (2), but we can make (1)
work consistently with (2).
addrconf_dad_stop() is only called in two cases: if DAD failed, or to
skip DAD when the link is down. In that second case, the fix is to avoid
deleting the address, like we already do for permanent addresses.
Fixes: 3c21edbd1137 ("[IPV6]: Defer IPv6 device initialization until the link becomes ready.")

The CDC-NCM driver can require large amounts of memory to create
skb's and this can be a problem when the memory becomes fragmented.
This especially affects embedded systems that have constrained
resources but wish to maximise the throughput of CDC-NCM with 16KiB
NTB's.
The issue is after running for a while the kernel memory can become
fragmented and it needs compacting.
If the NTB allocation is needed before the memory has been compacted
the atomic allocation can fail which can cause increased latency,
large re-transmissions or disconnections depending upon the data
being transmitted at the time.
This situation occurs for less than a second until the kernel has
compacted the memory but the failed devices can take a lot longer to
recover from the failed TX packets.
To ease this temporary situation I modified the CDC-NCM TX path to
temporarily switch into a reduced memory mode which allocates an NTB
that will fit into a USB_CDC_NCM_NTB_MIN_OUT_SIZE (default 2048 Bytes)
sized memory block and only transmit NTB's with a single network frame
until the memory situation is resolved.
Each time this issue occurs we wait for an increasing number of
reduced size allocations before requesting a full size one to not
put additional pressure on a low memory system.
Once the memory is compacted the CDC-NCM data can resume transmitting
at the normal tx_max rate once again.

====================
qed: Add iWARP support for QL4xxxx
This patch series adds iWARP support to our QL4xxxx networking adapters.
The code changes span across qed and qedr drivers, but this series contains
changes to qed only. Once the series is accepted, the qedr series will
be submitted to the rdma tree.
There is one additional qed patch which enables the iWARP, this patch is
delayed until the qedr series will be accepted.
The patches were previously sent as an RFC, and these are the first 12
patches in the RFC series:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-rdma/msg51416.html
This series was tested and built against net-next.
MAINTAINERS file is not updated in this PATCH as there is a pending patch
for qedr driver update https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9752761.

This fixes a typo where the wrong loop index was used to index
the kvmppc_xive_vcpu.queues[] array in xive_pre_save_scan().
The variable i contains the vcpu number; we need to index queues[]
using j, which iterates from 0 to KVMPPC_XIVE_Q_COUNT-1.
The effect of this bug is that things that save the interrupt
controller state, such as "virsh dump", on a VM with more than
8 vCPUs, result in xive_pre_save_queue() getting called on a
bogus queue structure, usually resulting in a crash like this:

This implements the setup of RS232 and the switch-over to RS485 or RS422
for the Siemens IOT2040. That uses an EXAR XR17V352 with external logic
to switch between the different modes. The external logic is controlled
via MPIO pins of the EXAR controller.
Only pin 10 can be exported as GPIO on the IOT2040. It is connected to
an LED.
As the XR17V352 used on the IOT2040 is not equipped with an external
EEPROM, it cannot present itself as IOT2040-variant via subvendor/
subdevice IDs. Thus, we have to check via DMI for the target platform.

When a process runs out of stack the parisc kernel wrongly faults with SIGBUS
instead of the expected SIGSEGV signal.
This example shows how the kernel faults:
do_page_fault() command='a.out' type=15 address=0xfaac2000 in libc-2.24.so[f8308000+16c000]
trap #15: Data TLB miss fault, vm_start = 0xfa2c2000, vm_end = 0xfaac2000
The vma->vm_end value is the first address which does not belong to the vma, so
adjust the check to include vma->vm_end to the range for which to send the
SIGSEGV signal.
This patch unbreaks building the debian libsigsegv package.

In PCM interface/protocol for userspace, parameters of runtime for PCM
substream is decided by an interaction between applications and ALSA
PCM core. In former commits, some tracepoints were added to probe a part
of the interaction.
This commit adds a documentation about the interaction and the
tracepoints.

====================
bpf: Add support for sock_ops
Created a new BPF program type, BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS, and a corresponding
struct that allows BPF programs of this type to access some of the
socket's fields (such as IP addresses, ports, etc.) and setting
connection parameters such as buffer sizes, initial window, SYN/SYN-ACK
RTOs, etc.
Unlike current BPF program types that expect to be called at a particular
place in the network stack code, SOCK_OPS program can be called at
different places and use an "op" field to indicate the context. There
are currently two types of operations, those whose effect is through
their return value and those whose effect is through the new
bpf_setsocketop BPF helper function.
Example operands of the first type are:
BPF_SOCK_OPS_TIMEOUT_INIT
BPF_SOCK_OPS_RWND_INIT
BPF_SOCK_OPS_NEEDS_ECN
Example operands of the secont type are:
BPF_SOCK_OPS_TCP_CONNECT_CB
BPF_SOCK_OPS_ACTIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB
BPF_SOCK_OPS_PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB
Current operands are only called during connection establishment so
there should not be any BPF overheads after connection establishment. The
main idea is to use connection information form both hosts, such as IP
addresses and ports to allow setting of per connection parameters to
optimize the connection's peformance.
Alghough there are already 3 mechanisms to set parameters (sysctls,
route metrics and setsockopts), this new mechanism provides some
disticnt advantages. Unlike sysctls, it can set parameters per
connection. In contrast to route metrics, it can also use port numbers
and information provided by a user level program. In addition, it could
set parameters probabilistically for evaluation purposes (i.e. do
something different on 10% of the flows and compare results with the
other 90% of the flows). Also, in cases where IPv6 addresses contain
geographic information, the rules to make changes based on the distance
(or RTT) between the hosts are much easier than route metric rules and
can be global. Finally, unlike setsockopt, it does not require
application changes and it can be updated easily at any time.
It uses the existing bpf cgroups infrastructure so the programs can be
attached per cgroup with full inheritance support. Although the bpf cgroup
framework already contains a sock related program type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK),
I created the new type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS) beccause the existing type
expects to be called only once during the connections's lifetime. In contrast,
the new program type will be called multiple times from different places in the
network stack code. For example, before sending SYN and SYN-ACKs to set
an appropriate timeout, when the connection is established to set congestion
control, etc. As a result it has "op" field to specify the type of operation
requested.
This patch set also includes sample BPF programs to demostrate the differnet
features.
v2: Formatting changes, rebased to latest net-next
v3: Fixed build issues, changed socket_ops to sock_ops throught,
fixed formatting issues, removed the syscall to load sock_ops
program and added functionality to use existing bpf attach and
bpf detach system calls, removed reader/writer locks in
sock_bpfops.c (used when saving sock_ops global program)
and fixed missing module refcount increment.
v4: Removed global sock_ops program and instead used existing cgroup bpf
infrastructure to support a new BPF_CGROUP_ATTCH type.
v5: fixed kbuild warning happening in bpf-cgroup.h
removed automatic converstion to host byte order from some sock_ops
fields (ipv4 and ipv6 addresses, remote port)
Added conversion to host byte order in some of the sample programs
Added to sample BPF program comments about using load_sock_ops to load
Removed is_req_sock field from bpf_sock_ops_kern and related places,
using sk_fullsock() instead.
v6: fixes to BPF helper function setsockopt (possible NULL deferencing, etc.)

Sample BPF program, tcp_clamp_kern.c, to demostrate the use
of setting the sndcwnd clamp. This program assumes that if the
first 5.5 bytes of the host's IPv6 addresses are the same, then
the hosts are in the same datacenter and sets sndcwnd clamp to
100 packets, SYN and SYN-ACK RTOs to 10ms and send/receive buffer
sizes to 150KB.

Adds a new bpf_setsockopt for TCP sockets, TCP_BPF_SNDCWND_CLAMP, which
sets the initial congestion window. It is useful to limit the sndcwnd
when the host are close to each other (small RTT).

Sample BPF program that assumes hosts are far away (i.e. large RTTs)
and sets initial cwnd and initial receive window to 40 packets,
send and receive buffers to 1.5MB.
In practice there would be a test to insure the hosts are actually
far enough away.

Adds a new bpf_setsockopt for TCP sockets, TCP_BPF_IW, which sets the
initial congestion window. This can be used when the hosts are far
apart (large RTTs) and it is safe to start with a large inital cwnd.

Added support for changing congestion control for SOCK_OPS bpf
programs through the setsockopt bpf helper function. It also adds
a new SOCK_OPS op, BPF_SOCK_OPS_NEEDS_ECN, that is needed for
congestion controls, like dctcp, that need to enable ECN in the
SYN packets.

This patch contains a BPF program to set initial receive window to
40 packets and send and receive buffers to 1.5MB. This would usually
be done after doing appropriate checks that indicate the hosts are
far enough away (i.e. large RTT).

Added support for calling a subset of socket setsockopts from
BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS programs. The code was duplicated rather
than making the changes to call the socket setsockopt function because
the changes required would have been larger.
The ops supported are:
SO_RCVBUF
SO_SNDBUF
SO_MAX_PACING_RATE
SO_PRIORITY
SO_RCVLOWAT
SO_MARK
