RX Buffer Descriptor contains a VALID bit which indicates if the BD
is valid and has some data. This field is set by HNS3 hardware to
intimate the driver of some valid data present in the BD. nd should
be reset by the driver when BD is being used again. In the existing
code this bit was not being (re-)initialized properly and hence was
causing problems.

HNAE3 module supports kernel nic driver, user nic driver and roce driver,
and there are 3 client types. Driver uses one bit(HNAE3_CLIENT_INITED_B)
to indicate the client initialization state, it will cause confusion
for 3 client types. This patch fixes it by use 3 bits to indicate the
initialization state.

Before the firmware updates the crq's tail pointer, if the PF driver
reads the data in the crq, the data may be incomplete at this time,
which will lead to the driver read an unknown message.
This patch fixes it by checking if crq is not empty before reading the
message.

Hardware Revision(0x21) Buffer Descriptor adds a field STRP_TAGP
for vlan stripped processed indication. STRP_TAGP field has 2 bits,
bit 0 is stripped indication of the vlan tag in outer vlan tag
field, bit 1 is stripped indication of the vlan tag in inner vlan
tag field. For each bit, 0 indicates the tag is not stripped and
1 indicates the tag is stripped.
This patch adds STRP_TAGP support for revision(0x21), and does not
change the revision(0x20) action.

In the latest revision of the hardware, if a packet is spanning
across multiple BDs then only VLD bit and current data size info
is valid in each BD, and rest of the information is only valid
in the last BD of the packet. In such case we should make sure
we are fetching RX packet size from the first descriptor and
information like VLAN should be fetched from last BD.

The struct Qdisc has a lot of holes, especially after commit
a53851e2c321 ("net: sched: explicit locking in gso_cpu fallback"),
which as a side effect, moved the fields just after 'busylock'
on a new cacheline.
Since both 'padded' and 'refcnt' are not updated frequently, and
there is a hole before 'gso_skb', we can move such fields there,
saving a cacheline without any performance side effect.
Before this commit:
pahole -C Qdisc net/sche/sch_generic.o
# ...
/* size: 384, cachelines: 6, members: 25 */
/* sum members: 236, holes: 3, sum holes: 92 */
/* padding: 56 */
After this commit:

/* sum members: 236, holes: 2, sum holes: 28 */

SIMCOM are reusing a single device ID for many (all of their?)
different modems, based on different chipsets and firmwares. Newer
Qualcomm chipset generations require setting DTR to wake the QMI
function. The SIM7600E modem is using such a chipset, making it
fail to work with this driver despite the device ID match.
Fix by unconditionally enabling the SET_DTR quirk for all SIMCOM
modems using this specific device ID. This is similar to what
we already have done for another case of device IDs recycled over
multiple chipset generations: 14cf4a771b30 ("drivers: net: usb:
qmi_wwan: add QMI_QUIRK_SET_DTR for Telit PID 0x1201")
Initial testing on an older SIM7100 modem shows no immediate side
effects.

The netsec network controller IP can drive 64 address bits for DMA, and
the DMA mask is set accordingly in the driver. However, the SynQuacer
SoC, which is the only silicon incorporating this IP at the moment,
integrates this IP in a manner that leaves address bits [63:40]
unconnected.
Up until now, this has not resulted in any problems, given that the DDR
controller doesn't decode those bits to begin with. However, recent
firmware updates for platforms incorporating this SoC allow the IOMMU
to be enabled, which does decode address bits [47:40], and allocates
top down from the IOVA space, producing DMA addresses that have bits
set that have been left unconnected.
Both the DT and ACPI (IORT) descriptions of the platform take this into
account, and only describe a DMA address space of 40 bits (using either
dma-ranges DT properties, or DMA address limits in IORT named component
nodes). However, even though our IOMMU and bus layers may take such
limitations into account by setting a narrower DMA mask when creating
the platform device, the netsec probe() entrypoint follows the common
practice of setting the DMA mask uncondionally, according to the
capabilities of the IP block itself rather than to its integration into
the chip.
It is currently unclear what the correct fix is here. We could hack around
it by only setting the DMA mask if it deviates from its default value of
DMA_BIT_MASK(32). However, this makes it impossible for the bus layer to
use DMA_BIT_MASK(32) as the bus limit, and so it appears that a more
comprehensive approach is required to take DMA limits imposed by the
SoC as a whole into account.
In the mean time, let's limit the DMA mask to 40 bits. Given that there
is currently only one SoC that incorporates this IP, this is a reasonable
approach that can be backported to -stable and buys us some time to come
up with a proper fix going forward.

seg6_do_srh_encap and seg6_do_srh_inline can possibly do an
out-of-bounds access when adding the SRH to the packet. This no longer
happen when expanding the skb not only by the size of the SRH (+
outer IPv6 header), but also by skb->mac_len.

have direct attached SR-IOV VF devices.
Patch 1 introduces a failover module that provides a generic interface for
paravirtual drivers to listen for netdev register/unregister/link change
events from pci ethernet devices with the same MAC and takeover their
datapath. The notifier and event handling code is based on the existing
netvsc implementation.
Patch 2 refactors netvsc to use the registration/notification framework
introduced by failover module.
Patch 3 introduces a net_failover driver that provides an automated
failover mechanism to paravirtual drivers via APIs to create and destroy
a failover master netdev and mananges a primary and standby slave netdevs
that get registered via the generic failover infrastructure.
Patch 4 introduces a new feature bit VIRTIO_NET_F_STANDBY to virtio-net
that can be used by hypervisor to indicate that virtio_net interface
should act as a standby for another device with the same MAC address.
Patch 5 extends virtio_net to use alternate datapath when available and
registered. When STANDBY feature is enabled, virtio_net driver uese the
net_failover API to create an additional 'failover' netdev that acts as
a master device and controls 2 slave devices. The original virtio_net
netdev is registered as 'standby' netdev and a passthru/vf device with
the same MAC gets registered as 'primary' netdev. Both 'standby' and
'failover' netdevs are associated with the same 'pci' device. The user
accesses the network interface via 'failover' netdev. The 'failover'
netdev chooses 'primary' netdev as default for transmits when it is
available with link up and running.
As this patch series is initially focusing on usecases where hypervisor
fully controls the VM networking and the guest is not expected to directly
configure any hardware settings, it doesn't expose all the ndo/ethtool ops
that are supported by virtio_net at this time. To support additional usecases,
it should be possible to enable additional ops later by caching the state
in failover netdev and replaying when the 'primary' netdev gets registered.
At the time of live migration, the hypervisor needs to unplug the VF device
from the guest on the source host and reset the MAC filter of the VF to
initiate failover of datapath to virtio before starting the migration. After
the migration is completed, the destination hypervisor sets the MAC filter
on the VF and plugs it back to the guest to switch over to VF datapath.
This patch is based on the discussion initiated by Jesse on this thread.

v12:
- Tested live migration with virtio-net/AVF(i40evf) configured in failover
mode while running iperf in background. Tried static ip and dhcp
configurations using 'network' scripts and Network Manager.
- Build tested netvsc module.
Updates:
- Extended generic failover module to do common functions like setting
FAILOVER_SLAVE flag, registering rx-handler and linking to upper dev in
the generic register/unregister handlers.
This required adding 3 additional failover ops pre_register, pre_unregister
and handle_frame. netvsc and net_failover drivers are updated to support
these ops.
v11:
- Split net_failover module into 2 components.
1. 'failover' module that provides generic failover infrastructure
to register a failover instance and listen for slave events.
2. 'net_failover' driver that provides APIs to create/destroy upper
netdev and supports 3-netdev model used by virtio-net.
- Added documentation
v10:
- fix net_failover_open() to update failover CARRIER correctly based on
standby and primary states.
- fix net_failover_handle_frame() to handle frames received on standby
when primary is present.
- replace netdev_upper_dev_link with netdev_master_upper_dev_link and
handle lower dev state changes.
- fix net_failver_create() and net_failover_register() interfaces to
use ERR_PTR and avoid arg **
- disable setting mac address when virtio-net in STANDBY mode
- document exported symbols
- added entry to MAINTAINERS file
v9:
Select NET_FAILOVER automatically when VIRTIO_NET/HYPERV_NET
are enabled. (stephen)
v8:
- Made the failover managment routines more robust by updating the feature
bits/other fields in the failover netdev when slave netdevs are
registered/unregistered. (mst)
- added support for handling vlans.
- Limited the changes in netvsc to only use the notifier/event/lookups
from the failover module. The slave register/unregister/link-change
handlers are only updated to use the getbymac routine to get the
upper netdev. There is no change in their functionality. (stephen)
- renamed structs/function/file names to use net_failover prefix. (mst)
v7
- Rename 'bypass/active/backup' terminology with 'failover/primary/standy'
(jiri, mst)
- re-arranged dev_open() and dev_set_mtu() calls in the register routines
so that they don't get called for 2-netdev model. (stephen)
- fixed select_queue() routine to do queue selection based on VF if it is
registered as primary. (stephen)
- minor bugfixes
v6 RFC:
Simplified virtio_net changes by moving all the ndo_ops of the
bypass_netdev and create/destroy of bypass_netdev to 'bypass' module.
avoided 2 phase registration(driver + instances).
introduced IFF_BYPASS/IFF_BYPASS_SLAVE dev->priv_flags
replaced mutex with a spinlock
v5 RFC:
Based on Jiri's comments, moved the common functionality to a 'bypass'
module so that the same notifier and event handlers to handle child
register/unregister/link change events can be shared between virtio_net
and netvsc.
Improved error handling based on Siwei's comments.
v4:
- Based on the review comments on the v3 version of the RFC patch and
Jakub's suggestion for the naming issue with 3 netdev solution,
proposed 3 netdev in-driver bonding solution for virtio-net.
v3 RFC:
- Introduced 3 netdev model and pointed out a couple of issues with
that model and proposed 2 netdev model to avoid these issues.
- Removed broadcast/multicast optimization and only use virtio as
backup path when VF is unplugged.
v2 RFC:
- Changed VIRTIO_NET_F_MASTER to VIRTIO_NET_F_BACKUP (mst)
- made a small change to the virtio-net xmit path to only use VF datapath
for unicasts. Broadcasts/multicasts use virtio datapath. This avoids
east-west broadcasts to go over the PCI link.
- added suppport for the feature bit in qemu

This patch enables virtio_net to switch over to a VF datapath when STANDBY
feature is enabled and a VF netdev is present with the same MAC address.
It allows live migration of a VM with a direct attached VF without the need
to setup a bond/team between a VF and virtio net device in the guest.
It uses the API that is exported by the net_failover driver to create and
and destroy a master failover netdev. When STANDBY feature is enabled, an
additional netdev(failover netdev) is created that acts as a master device
and tracks the state of the 2 lower netdevs. The original virtio_net netdev
is marked as 'standby' netdev and a passthru device with the same MAC is
registered as 'primary' netdev.
The hypervisor needs to unplug the VF device from the guest on the source
host and reset the MAC filter of the VF to initiate failover of datapath
to virtio before starting the migration. After the migration is completed,
the destination hypervisor sets the MAC filter on the VF and plugs it back
to the guest to switch over to VF datapath.

The net_failover driver provides an automated failover mechanism via APIs
to create and destroy a failover master netdev and manages a primary and
standby slave netdevs that get registered via the generic failover
infrastructure.
The failover netdev acts a master device and controls 2 slave devices. The
original paravirtual interface gets registered as 'standby' slave netdev and
a passthru/vf device with the same MAC gets registered as 'primary' slave
netdev. Both 'standby' and 'failover' netdevs are associated with the same
'pci' device. The user accesses the network interface via 'failover' netdev.
The 'failover' netdev chooses 'primary' netdev as default for transmits when
it is available with link up and running.
This can be used by paravirtual drivers to enable an alternate low latency
datapath. It also enables hypervisor controlled live migration of a VM with
direct attached VF by failing over to the paravirtual datapath when the VF
is unplugged.

The failover module provides a generic interface for paravirtual drivers
to register a netdev and a set of ops with a failover instance. The ops
are used as event handlers that get called to handle netdev register/
unregister/link change/name change events on slave pci ethernet devices
with the same mac address as the failover netdev.
This enables paravirtual drivers to use a VF as an accelerated low latency

Tx-timeout mostly happens due to some issue in the device. In such cases,
debug dump would be helpful for identifying the cause of the issue.
This patch adds support to spill debug data during the Tx timeout. Here
bnx2x_panic_dump() API is used instead of bnx2x_panic(), since we still
want to allow the Tx-timeout recovery a chance to succeed.

->commit() cannot fail at the moment.
Followup-patch adds kmalloc calls in the commit phase, so we'll need
to be able to handle errors.
Make it so that -EGAIN causes a full replay, and make other errors
cause the transaction to fail.
Failing is ok from a consistency point of view as long as we
perform all actions that could return an error before
we increment the generation counter and the base seq.

Kernel library has a common function to match user input from sysfs
against an array of strings. Thus, replace bch_read_string_list() by
__sysfs_match_string().

There is couple of functions that are used exclusively in sysfs.c.
Move it to there and make them static.
Besides above, it will allow further clean up.
No functional change intended.

Currently bcache does not handle backing device failure, if backing
device is offline and disconnected from system, its bcache device can still
be accessible. If the bcache device is in writeback mode, I/O requests even
can success if the requests hit on cache device. That is to say, when and
how bcache handles offline backing device is undefined.
This patch tries to handle backing device offline in a rather simple way,
- Add cached_dev->status_update_thread kernel thread to update backing
device status in every 1 second.
- Add cached_dev->offline_seconds to record how many seconds the backing
device is observed to be offline. If the backing device is offline for
BACKING_DEV_OFFLINE_TIMEOUT (30) seconds, set dc->io_disable to 1 and
call bcache_device_stop() to stop the bache device which linked to the
offline backing device.
Now if a backing device is offline for BACKING_DEV_OFFLINE_TIMEOUT seconds,
its bcache device will be removed, then user space application writing on
it will get error immediately, and handler the device failure in time.
This patch is quite simple, does not handle more complicated situations.
Once the bcache device is stopped, users need to recovery the backing
device, register and attach it manually.
Changelog:
v3: call wait_for_kthread_stop() before exits kernel thread.
v2: remove "bcache: " prefix when calling pr_warn().
v1: initial version.

Kconfig got text processing tools like we see in Make. Add Kconfig
helper macros to scripts/Kconfig.include like we collect Makefile
macros in scripts/Kbuild.include.

The kernel configuration phase is now tightly coupled with the compiler
in use. It will be nice to show the compiler information in Kconfig.
The compiler information will be displayed like this:
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- config
scripts/kconfig/conf --oldaskconfig Kconfig
*
* Linux/arm64 4.16.0-rc1 Kernel Configuration
*
*
* Compiler: aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc (Linaro GCC 7.2-2017.11) 7.2.1 20171011
*
*
* General setup
*
Compile also drivers which will not load (COMPILE_TEST) [N/y/?]
If you use GUI methods such as menuconfig, it will be displayed in the
top menu.
This is simply implemented by using the 'comment' statement. So, it
will be saved into the .config file as well.
This commit has a very important meaning. If the compiler is upgraded,
Kconfig must be re-run since different compilers have different sets
of supported options.
All referenced environments are written to include/config/auto.conf.cmd
so that any environment change triggers syncconfig, and prompt the user
to input new values if needed.
With this commit, something like follows will be added to
include/config/auto.conf.cmd
ifneq "$(CC_VERSION_TEXT)" "aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc (Linaro GCC 7.2-2017.11) 7.2.1 20171011"
include/config/auto.conf: FORCE
endif

Add a document for the macro language introduced to Kconfig.
The motivation of this work is to move the compiler option tests to
Kconfig from Makefile. A number of kernel features require the
compiler support. Enabling such features blindly in Kconfig ends up
with a lot of nasty build-time testing in Makefiles. If a chosen
feature turns out unsupported by the compiler, what the build system
can do is either to disable it (silently!) or to forcibly break the
build, despite Kconfig has let the user to enable it. By moving the
compiler capability tests to Kconfig, features unsupported by the
compiler will be hidden automatically.
This change was strongly prompted by Linus Torvalds. You can find
his suggestions [1] [2] in ML. The original idea was to add a new
attribute with 'option shell=...', but I found more generalized text
expansion would make Kconfig more powerful and lovely. The basic
ideas are from Make, but there are some differences.

When using a recursively expanded variable, it is a common mistake
to make circular reference.
For example, Make terminates the following code:
X = $(X)
Y := $(X)
Let's detect the circular expansion in Kconfig, too.
On the other hand, a function that recurses itself is a commonly-used
programming technique. So, Make does not check recursion in the
reference with 'call'. For example, the following code continues
running eternally:
X = $(call X)
Y := $(X)
Kconfig allows circular expansion if one or more arguments are given,
but terminates when the same function is recursively invoked 1000 times,
assuming it is a programming mistake.
