Currently, driver registers it from pernet_operations::init method,
and this breaks modularity, because initialization of net namespace
and netdevice notifiers are orthogonal actions. We don't have
per-namespace netdevice notifiers; all of them are global for all
devices in all namespaces.

====================
of_net: Implement of_get_nvmem_mac_address helper
Posted this as a small set now, with an (optional) second patch that shows
how the changes work and what I've used to test the code on a Topic Miami board.
I've taken the liberty to add appropriate "Acked" and "Review" tags.
v4: Replaced "6" with ETH_ALEN
v3: Add patch that implements mac in nvmem for the Cadence MACB controller
Remove the integrated of_get_mac_address call
v2: Use of_nvmem_cell_get to avoid needing the assiciated device
Use void* instead of char*
Add devicetree binding doc

It's common practice to store MAC addresses for network interfaces into
nvmem devices. However the code to actually do this in the kernel lacks,
so this patch adds of_get_nvmem_mac_address() for drivers to obtain the
address from an nvmem cell provider.
This is particulary useful on devices where the ethernet interface cannot
be configured by the bootloader, for example because it's in an FPGA.

nfp: flower: handle MTU changes
This set improves MTU handling for flower offload. The max MTU is
correctly capped and physical port MTU is communicated to the FW
(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.

Rename the 'change_mtu' app callback to 'check_mtu'. This is called
whenever an MTU change is requested on a netdev. It can reject the
change but is not responsible for implementing it.
Introduce a new 'repr_change_mtu' app callback that is hit when the MTU
of a repr is to be changed. This is responsible for performing the MTU
change and verifying it.

In preparation for having DSA transition entirely to PHYLINK, we need to pass a
PHY interface type to the mac_link_{up,down} callbacks because we may have to
make decisions on that (e.g: turn on/off RGMII interfaces etc.). We do not pass
an entire phylink_link_state because not all parameters (pause, duplex etc.) are
defined when the link is down, only link and interface are.
Update mvneta accordingly since it currently implements phylink_mac_ops.

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
Tal, thanks again for your feedback, I would appreciate if you could review that
the new behavior appears to be implemented correctly.
Thanks!
Changes in v2:
- added Tal's reviewed-by to the first patch
- split DIM initialization from coalescing parameters initialization
- avoid duplicating the same code in bcmgenet_set_coalesce() when configuring RX rings
- fixed the condition where default DIM parameters would be applied when
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

NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_[CS]TAG_FILTER features require more than just a bit
flip in dev->features in order to keep the driver in a consistent state.
These features notify the driver of each added/removed vlan, but toggling
of vlan-filter does not notify the driver accordingly for each of the
existing vlans.
This patch implements a similar solution to NETIF_F_RX_UDP_TUNNEL_PORT
behavior (which notifies the driver about UDP ports in the same manner
that vids are reported).
Each toggling of the features propagates to the 8021q module, which
iterates over the vlans and call add/kill ndo accordingly.

underflow/policy"
This reverts commit 0d7df906a0e78079a02108b06d32c3ef2238ad25.
Valdis Kletnieks reported that xtables is broken in linux-next since
0d7df906a0e78 ("netfilter: x_tables: ensure last rule in base chain
matches underflow/policy"), as kernel rejects the (well-formed) ruleset:
[ 64.402790] ip6_tables: last base chain position 1136 doesn't match underflow 1344 (hook 1)
mark_source_chains is not the correct place for such a check, as it
terminates evaluation of a chain once it sees an unconditional verdict
(following rules are known to be unreachable). It seems preferrable to
fix libiptc instead, so remove this check again.

With commit e948bc8fbee0 (cpufreq: Cap the default transition delay
value to 10 ms) the cpufreq was not honouring the delay passed via
ACPI (PCCT). Due to which on ARM based platforms using CPPC the
cpufreq governor tries to change the frequency of CPUs faster than
expected.
This leads to continuous error messages like the following.
" ACPI CPPC: PCC check channel failed. Status=0 "
Earlier (without above commit) the default transition delay was
taken form the value passed from PCCT. Use the same value provided
by PCCT to set the transition_delay_us.

Currently ebtables assumes that the revision number of all match
modules is 0, which is an issue when trying to use existing
xtables matches with ebtables. The solution is to modify ebtables
to allow extensions to specify a revision number, similar to
iptables. This gets passed down to the kernel, which is then able
to find the match module correctly.
To main binary backwards compatibility, the size of the ebt_entry
structures is not changed, only the size of the name field is
decreased by 1 byte to make room for the revision field.

Ext4 already did the right thing when the journaling mode being used
matched the one specified in the superblock's default mount options. The
reason it failed to do the right thing for the ext4 defaults is that,
when set, they were never included in sbi->s_def_mount_opt (unlike the

Previously, /proc/fs/ext4/<dev>/options would only show binary options
if they were set (1 in the options bit mask). E.g. it would show "grpid"
if it was set, but it would not show "nogrpid" if grpid was not set.
This seems sensible, but when an option is absent from the file, it can
be hard for the unfamiliar to know what is being used. E.g. if there
isn't a (no)grpid entry, nogrpid is in effect. But if there isn't a
(no)auto_da_alloc entry, auto_da_alloc is in effect. If there isn't a
(minixdf|bsddf) entry, it turns out bsddf is in effect. It all depends
on how the option is implemented.
It's clearer to be explicit, so print the corresponding option
regardless of whether it means a 1 or a 0 in the bit mask.
Note that options which do not have an explicit disable option aren't
indicated as being disabled even with this change (e.g. dax).

dm_get_bdev_for_ioctl()'s return of 0 or 1 must be the result from
prepare_ioctl (1 means the ioctl was issued to a partition, 0 means it
wasn't). Unfortunately commit 519049afea ("dm: use blkdev_get rather
than bdgrab when issuing pass-through ioctl") reused the variable 'r'
to store the return from blkdev_get() that follows prepare_ioctl()
-- whereby dropping prepare_ioctl()'s result on the floor.
This can lead to an ioctl or persistent reservation being issued to a
partition going unnoticed, which implies the extra permission check for
CAP_SYS_RAWIO is skipped.
Fix this by using a different variable to store blkdev_get()'s return.
