otx2 only supports additional indirection tables (no separate keys
etc.) so the conversion to dedicated callbacks and core-allocated
context is mostly removing the code which stores the extra tables
in the driver. Core already stores the indirection tables for
additional contexts, and doesn't call .get for them.
One subtle change here is that we'll now start with the table
covering all queues, not directing all traffic to queue 0.
This is what core expects if the user doesn't pass the initial
indir table explicitly (there's a WARN_ON() in the core trying
to make sure driver authors don't forget to populate ctx to
defaults).
Drivers implementing .create_rxfh_context don't have to set
cap_rss_ctx_supported, so remove it.

Currently, the driver uses phylib to operate PHY by default.
On some boards, the PHY device is separated from the MAC device.
As a result, the hibmcge driver cannot operate the PHY device.
In this patch, the driver determines whether a PHY is available
based on register configuration. If no PHY is available,
the driver will use fixed_phy to register fake phydev.

Use the newly added of_reserved_mem_region_to_resource{_byname}()
functions to handle "memory-region" properties.
The error handling is a bit different for mtk_wed_mcu_load_firmware().
A failed match of the "memory-region-names" would skip the entry, but
then other errors in the lookup and retrieval of the address would not
skip the entry. However, that distinction is not really important.
Either the region is available and usable or it is not. So now, errors
from of_reserved_mem_region_to_resource() are ignored so the region is
simply skipped.

tc_action_net_exit() got an rtnl exclusion in commit
a159d3c4b829 ("net_sched: acquire RTNL in tc_action_net_exit()")
Since then, commit 16af6067392c ("net: sched: implement reference
counted action release") made this RTNL exclusion obsolete for
most cases.
Only tcf_action_offload_del() might still require it.
Move the rtnl locking into tcf_idrinfo_destroy() when
an offload action is found.
Most netns do not have actions, yet deleting them is adding a lot
of pressure on RTNL, which is for many the most contended mutex
in the kernel.
We are moving to a per-netns 'rtnl', so tc_action_net_exit()
will not be able to grab 'rtnl' a single time for a batch of netns.
Before the patch:
perf probe -a rtnl_lock
perf record -e probe:rtnl_lock -a /bin/bash -c 'unshare -n "/bin/true"; sleep 1'
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

====================
net: mctp: Add support for gateway routing
This series adds a gateway route type for the MCTP core, allowing
non-local EIDs as the match for a route.
Example setup using the mctp tools:
mctp route add 9 via mctpi2c0
mctp neigh add 9 dev mctpi2c0 lladdr 0x1d
mctp route add 10 gw 9
- will route packets to eid 10 through mctpi2c0, using a dest lladdr
of 0x1d (ie, that of the directly-attached eid 9).
The core change to support this is the introduction of a struct
mctp_dst, which represents the result of a route lookup. Since this
involves a bit of surgery through the routing code, we add a few tests
along the way.
We're introducing an ABI change in the new RTM_{NEW,GET,DEL}ROUTE
netlink formats, with the support for a RTA_GATEWAY attribute. Because
we need a network ID specified to fully-qualify a gateway EID, the
RTA_GATEWAY attribute carries the (net, eid) tuple in full:
struct mctp_fq_addr {
unsigned int net;
mctp_eid_t eid;
}
Of course, any questions, comments etc are most welcome.

This change allows for gateway routing, where a route table entry
may reference a routable endpoint (by network and EID), instead of
routing directly to a netdevice.
We add support for a RTM_GATEWAY attribute for netlink route updates,
with an attribute format of:
struct mctp_fq_addr {
unsigned int net;
mctp_eid_t eid;
}
- we need the net here to uniquely identify the target EID, as we no
longer have the device reference directly (which would provide the net
id in the case of direct routes).
This makes route lookups recursive, as a route lookup that returns a
gateway route must be resolved into a direct route (ie, to a device)
eventually. We provide a limit to the route lookups, to prevent infinite
loop routing.
The route lookup populates a new 'nexthop' field in the dst structure,
which now specifies the key for the neighbour table lookup on device
output, rather than using the packet destination address directly.

The netlink route parsing functions end up setting a bunch of output
variables from the rt attributes. This will get messy when the routes
become more complex.
So, split the rt parsing into two types: a lookup (returning route
target data suitable for a route lookup, like when deleting a route) and
a populate (setting fields of a struct mctp_route).
In doing this, we need to separate the route allocation from
mctp_route_add, so add some comments on the lifetime semantics for the
latter.

This change adds a struct mctp_dst, representing the result of a routing
lookup. This decouples the struct mctp_route from the actual
implementation of a routing operation.
This will allow for future routing changes which may require more
involved lookup logic, such as gateway routing - which may require
multiple traversals of the routing table.
Since we only use the struct mctp_route at lookup time, we no longer
hold routes over a routing operation, as we only need it to populate the
dst. However, we do hold the dev while the dst is active.
This requires some changes to the route test infrastructure, as we no
longer have a mock route to handle the route output operation, and
transient dsts are created by the routing code, so we can't override
them as easily.
Instead, we use kunit->priv to stash a packet queue, and a custom
dst_output function queues into that packet queue, which we can use for
later expectations.

In LACP mode with broadcast_neighbor enabled, after LACP protocol
recovery, the port can transmit packets. However, if the bond port
doesn't send gratuitous ARP/ND packets to the switch, the switch
won't return packets through the current interface. This causes
traffic imbalance. To resolve this issue, when LACP protocol recovers,
send ARP/ND packets if broadcast_neighbor is enabled.

Stacking technology is a type of technology used to expand ports on
Ethernet switches. It is widely used as a common access method in
large-scale Internet data center architectures. Years of practice
have proved that stacking technology has advantages and disadvantages
in high-reliability network architecture scenarios. For instance,
in stacking networking arch, conventional switch system upgrades
require multiple stacked devices to restart at the same time.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the business will be interrupted
for a while. It is for this reason that "no-stacking" in data centers
has become a trend. Additionally, when the stacking link connecting
the switches fails or is abnormal, the stack will split. Although it is
not common, it still happens in actual operation. The problem is that
after the split, it is equivalent to two switches with the same
configuration appearing in the network, causing network configuration
conflicts and ultimately interrupting the services carried by the
stacking system.
To improve network stability, "non-stacking" solutions have been
increasingly adopted, particularly by public cloud providers and
tech companies like Alibaba, Tencent, and Didi. "non-stacking" is
a method of mimicing switch stacking that convinces a LACP peer,
bonding in this case, connected to a set of "non-stacked" switches
that all of its ports are connected to a single switch
(i.e., LACP aggregator), as if those switches were stacked. This
enables the LACP peer's ports to aggregate together, and requires
(a) special switch configuration, described in the linked article,
and (b) modifications to the bonding 802.3ad (LACP) mode to send
all ARP/ND packets across all ports of the active aggregator.
Note that, with multiple aggregators, the current broadcast mode
logic will send only packets to the selected aggregator(s).

Mark Bloch says:
====================
net/mlx5: HWS, Optimize matchers ICM usage
This series optimizes ICM usage for unidirectional rules and
empty matchers and with the last patch we make hardware steering
the default FDB steering provider for NICs that don't support software
steering.
Hardware steering (HWS) uses a type of rule table container (RTC) that
is unidirectional, so matchers consist of two RTCs to accommodate
bidirectional rules.
This small series enables resizing the two RTCs independently by
tracking the number of rules separately. For extreme cases where all
rules are unidirectional, this results in saving close to half the
memory footprint.
Results for inserting 1M unidirectional rules using a simple module:
Pages Memory
Before this patch: 300k 1.5GiB
After this patch: 160k 900MiB
The 'Pages' column measures the number of 4KiB pages the device requests
for itself (the ICM).
The 'Memory' column is the difference between peak usage and baseline
usage (before starting the test) as reported by `free -h`.
In addition, second to last patch of the series handles a case where all
the matcher's rules were deleted: the large RTCs of the matcher are no
longer required, and we can save some more ICM by shrinking the matcher
to its initial size.
Finally the last patch makes hardware steering the default mode
when in swichdev for NICs that don't have software steering support.

Add HW Steering (HWS) as a secondary option for device steering mode. If
the device does not support SW Steering (SWS), HW Steering will be used
as the default, provided it is supported. FW Steering will now be
selected as the default only if both HWS and SWS are unavailable.

Matcher size is dynamic: it starts at initial size, and then it grows
through rehash as more and more rules are added to this matcher.
When rules are deleted, matcher's size is not decreased. Rehash
approach is greedy. The idea is: if the matcher got to a certain size
at some point, chances are - it will get to this size again, so it is
better to avoid costly rehash operations whenever possible.
However, when all the rules of the matcher are deleted, this should
be viewed as special case. If the matcher actually got to the point
where it has zero rules, it might be an indication that some usecase
from the past is no longer happening. This is where some ICM can be
freed.
This patch handles this case: when a number of rules in a matcher
goes down to zero, the matcher's tables are shrunk to the initial
size.

Track and grow matcher sizes individually for RX and TX RTCs. This
allows RX-only or TX-only use cases to effectively halve the device
resources they use.
For testing we used a simple module that inserts 1M RX-only rules and
measured the number of pages the device requests, and memory usage as
reported by `free -h`.

Kernel HWS only uses FDB tables and, as such, creates two lower level
containers (RTCs) for each matcher: one for RX and one for TX. Allow
these RTCs to differ in size by converting the size part of the matcher
attribute to a two element array.

Matchers were using the pool abstraction solely as a convenience
to allocate two STE ranges. The pool's core functionality, that
of allocating individual items from the range, was unused.
Matchers rely either on the hardware to hash rules into a table,
or on a user-provided index.
Remove the STE pool from the matcher and allocate the STE ranges
manually instead.
