The scatterlist is reused by both sendmsg and sendfile.
If a sendmsg of smaller number of pages is followed by a sendfile
of larger number of pages, the scatterlist may be too short, resulting
in a crash in gcm_encrypt.
Add sg_unmark_end to make the list the correct length.
tls_sw_sendmsg already calls sg_unmark_end correctly when it allocates
memory in alloc_sg, or in zerocopy_from_iter.

Since we no longer localize channel/CPU affiliation within one NUMA
node, num_online_cpus() is used as the number of channel cap, instead of
the number of processors in a NUMA node.

The commit 622190669403 ("be2net: Request RSS capability of Rx interface
depending on number of Rx rings") modified be_update_queues() so the
IFACE (HW representation of the netdevice) is destroyed and then
re-created. This causes a regression because potential promiscuous mode
is not restored properly during be_open() because the driver thinks
that the HW has promiscuous mode already enabled.
Note that Lancer is not affected by this bug because RX-filter flags are
disabled during be_close() for this chipset.

Commit "net: igmp: Use correct source address on IGMPv3 reports"
introduced a check to validate the source address of locally generated
IGMPv3 packets.
Instead of checking the local interface address directly, it uses
inet_ifa_match(fl4->saddr, ifa), which checks if the address is on the
local subnet (or equal to the point-to-point address if used).
This breaks for point-to-point interfaces, so check against
ifa->ifa_local directly.

Broadcom tags inserted by Broadcom switches put a 4 byte header after
the MAC SA and before the EtherType, which may look like some sort of 0
length LLC/SNAP packet (tcpdump and wireshark do think that way). With
ACS enabled in stmmac the packets were truncated to 8 bytes on
reception, whereas clearing this bit allowed normal reception to occur.
In order to make that possible, we need to pass a net_device argument to
the different core_init() functions and we are dependent on the Broadcom
tagger padding packets correctly (which it now does). To be as little
invasive as possible, this is only done for gmac1000 when the network
device is DSA-enabled (netdev_uses_dsa() returns true).

Without proper validation of DODGY packets, we might very well
feed qdisc_pkt_len_init() with invalid GSO packets.
tcp_hdrlen() might access out-of-bound data, so let's use
skb_header_pointer() and proper checks.
Whole story is described in commit d0c081b49137 ("flow_dissector:

We have the goal of validating DODGY packets earlier in the stack,
so we might very well revert this fix in the future.

ibmvnic: Reset behavior fixes
This patchset fixes a number of issues related to ibmvnic reset uncovered
from testing new Power9 machines with Everglades adapters and the new
functionality to change mtu and other parameters in the driver.
Changes since v1:
-In patch 1/3, added the line to free the long term buffers before
allocating a new one. This change inadvertently uncovered the problem
that the number of queues can change after a failover as well. To fix
this, we check whether or not the number of queues has changed in
do_reset and if they have, we do a full release and init of the queues.
-In patch 1/3, added variables to the adapter struct to track how
many rx/tx pools have actually been allocated and modify the release
pools routines to use these values rather than the possibly incorrect
req_rx/tx_queues values.

In reset events in which our memory allocations need to be reallocated,
VPD data is being freed, but never reallocated. This can cause issues if
we later attempt to access that memory or reset and attempt to free the
memory. This patch moves the allocation of the VPD data to init_resources
so that it will be symmetrically freed during release resources.

If we request an unsupported mtu value, the vnic server will suggest a
different value. Currently we take the suggested value without question
and login with that value. However, the behavior doesn't seem completely
sane as attempting to change the mtu to some specific value will change
the mtu to some completely different value most of the time. This patch
fixes the issue by logging in with the previously used mtu value and
printing an error message saying that the given mtu is unsupported.

Using newer backing devices can cause the required padding at the end of
buffer as well as the number of queues to change after a failover.
Since we currently assume that these values never change, after a
failover to a backing device with different capabilities, we can get
errors from the vnic server, attempt to free long term buffers that are
no longer there, or not free long term buffers that should be freed.
This patch resolves the issue by checking whether any of these values
change, and if so perform the necessary re-allocations.

that the peer has received a rds_message. The m_ack_seq is
used in rds_tcp_is_acked() to figure out when it is safe to
drop the rds_message from the RDS retransmit queue.
The m_ack_seq must be calculated as an offset from the right

Commit ccfdec908922 ("macsec: Add support for GCM-AES-256 cipher suite")
changed a few values in the uapi headers for MACsec.
Because of existing userspace implementations, we need to preserve the
value of MACSEC_DEFAULT_CIPHER_ID. Not doing that resulted in
wpa_supplicant segfaults when a secure channel was created using the
default cipher. Thus, swap MACSEC_DEFAULT_CIPHER_{ID,ALT} back to their
original values.
Changing the maximum length of the MACSEC_SA_ATTR_KEY attribute is
unnecessary, as the previous value (MACSEC_MAX_KEY_LEN, which was 128B)
is large enough to carry 32-bytes keys. This patch reverts
MACSEC_MAX_KEY_LEN to 128B and restores the old length check on
MACSEC_SA_ATTR_KEY.

The main purpose of this patch is adding a way of checking per-queue stats.
It's useful to debug performance problems on multiqueue environment.
$ ethtool -S ens10
NIC statistics:
rx_queue_0_packets: 2090408
rx_queue_0_bytes: 3164825094
rx_queue_1_packets: 2082531
rx_queue_1_bytes: 3152932314
tx_queue_0_packets: 2770841
tx_queue_0_bytes: 4194955474
tx_queue_1_packets: 3084697
tx_queue_1_bytes: 4670196372
This change converts existing per-cpu stats structure into per-queue one.
This should not impact on performance since each queue counter is not
updated concurrently by multiple cpus.
Performance numbers:
- Guest has 2 vcpus and 2 queues
- Guest runs netserver
- Host runs 100-flow super_netperf

The new helper would check if the pfn belongs to the page. For huge
pages it checks if the PFN is within range covered by the huge page.
The helper is used in check_pte(). The original code the helper replaces
had two call to page_to_pfn(). page_to_pfn() is relatively costly.
Although current GCC is able to optimize code to have one call, it's
better to do this explicitly.

sparc64: Driver for Oracle Data Analytics Accelerator
v2:
Revised example code and updated documentation
New version of Hypervisor API specification
Recent Oracle Sparc processors (M7 and M8) have a coprocessor which
lives on the cpu chip. The coprocessor is called DAX (Data Analytics
Accelerator), and is controlled via sun4v hypercalls. The programmatic
interface to the coprocessor is somewhat unorthodox, and all commands
and parameters are documented in detail in dax-hv-api.txt. The driver
API is described in oracle-dax.txt, which has been expanded with new
example code along with detailed explanations to demonstrate how user
and kernel code can use the capabilities of DAX. Those who wish to
use the coprocessor in the kernel will need to construct their own
command blocks to submit, as no higher level services are provided.
Note that it is expected that general use of the coprocessor will go
through the companion userspace library, which has been published
under UPL at:
https://oss.oracle.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=libdax.git
This library is a comprehensive collection of higher level functions
along with tests, documentation, and code examples. The format of the
command control blocks is described in this library as well. Though
the primary purpose of the coprocessor is to accelerate data analytics
operations, it may be used for any suitable purpose.
The machine descriptor identifies the device as "dax", and all
internal documentation refers to it as "dax". But since the term "dax"
already has other meanings and uses in Linux, we call this driver
"oradax".

DAX is a coprocessor which resides on the SPARC M7 (DAX1) and M8
(DAX2) processor chips, and has direct access to the CPU's L3 caches
as well as physical memory. It can perform several operations on data
streams with various input and output formats. This driver provides a
transport mechanism and has limited knowledge of the various opcodes
and data formats. A user space library provides high level services
and translates these into low level commands which are then passed
into the driver and subsequently the hypervisor and the coprocessor.
The library is the recommended way for applications to use the
coprocessor, and the driver interface is not intended for general use.

This patch adds hypercall function stubs and C templates for
ccb_submit/info/kill which provide coprocessor services for the Oracle
Data Analytics Accelerator, registration for the DAX api group, and
all the various associated constants.
