Subsequent patches will add discard traps support in mlxsw.

On the other hand, when these traps are initialized or set to drop action, they should use the default drop action set by the firmware. This guarantees that when the feature is disabled we get the exact same behavior as before the feature was introduced.

2019-08-21usb: chipidea: udc: don't do hardware access if gadget has stoppedPeter Chen
After _gadget_stop_activity is executed, we can consider the hardware operation for gadget has finished, and the udc can be stopped and enter low power mode. So, any later hardware operations (from usb_ep_ops APIs or usb_gadget_ops APIs) should be considered invalid, any deinitializatons has been covered at _gadget_stop_activity. I meet this problem when I plug out usb cable from PC using mass_storage gadget, my callstack like: vbus interrupt->.vbus_session-> composite_disconnect ->pm_runtime_put_sync(&_gadget->dev), the composite_disconnect will call fsg_disable, but fsg_disable calls usb_ep_disable using async way, there are register accesses for usb_ep_disable. So sometimes, I get system hang due to visit register without clock, sometimes not. The Linux Kernel USB maintainer Alan Stern suggests this kinds of solution.

2019-08-21mac80211: minstrel_ht: improve rate probing for devices with static fallbackFelix Fietkau
On some devices that only support static rate fallback tables sending rate control probing packets can be really expensive. Probing lower rates can already hurt throughput quite a bit. What hurts even more is the fact that on mt76x0/mt76x2, single probing packets can only be forced by directing packets at a different internal hardware queue, which causes some heavy reordering and extra latency. The reordering issue is mainly problematic while pushing lots of packets to a particular station. If there is little activity, the overhead of probing is neglegible. The static fallback behavior is designed to pretty much only handle rate control algorithms that use only a very limited set of rates on which the algorithm switches up/down based on packet error rate. In order to better support that kind of hardware, this patch implements a different approach to rate probing where it switches to a slightly higher rate, waits for tx status feedback, then updates the stats and switches back to the new max throughput rate. This only triggers above a packet rate of 100 per stats interval (~50ms). For that kind of probing, the code has to reduce the set of probing rates a lot more compared to single packet probing, so it uses only one packet per MCS group which is either slightly faster, or as close as possible to the max throughput rate. This allows switching between similar rates with different numbers of streams. The algorithm assumes that the hardware will work its way lower within an MCS group in case of retransmissions, so that lower rates don't have to be probed by the high packets per second rate probing code. To further reduce the search space, it also does not probe rates with lower channel bandwidth than the max throughput rate. At the moment, these changes will only affect mt76x0/mt76x2.
