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

====================

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.

During heavy tx traffic, control messages (sent by liquidio driver to NIC
firmware) sometimes do not get processed in a timely manner. Reason is:
the low-level metadata of control messages and that of egress network
packets indicate that they have the same priority.
Fix it by setting a higher priority for control messages through the new
ctrl_qpg field in the oct_txpciq struct. It is the NIC firmware that does
the actual setting of priority by writing to the new ctrl_qpg field; the
host driver treats that value as opaque and just assigns it to pki_ih3->qpg

====================
net: Allow FIB notifiers to fail add and replace
I wanted to revisit how resource overload is handled for hardware offload
of FIB entries and rules. At the moment, the in-kernel fib notifier can
tell a driver about a route or rule add, replace, and delete, but the
notifier can not affect the action. Specifically, in the case of mlxsw
if a route or rule add is going to overflow the ASIC resources the only
recourse is to abort hardware offload. Aborting offload is akin to taking
down the switch as the path from data plane to the control plane simply
can not support the traffic bandwidth of the front panel ports. Further,
the current state of FIB notifiers is inconsistent with other resources
where a driver can affect a user request - e.g., enslavement of a port
into a bridge or a VRF.
As a result of the work done over the past 3+ years, I believe we are
at a point where we can bring consistency to the stack and offloads,
and reliably allow the FIB notifiers to fail a request, pushing an error
along with a suitable error message back to the user. Rather than
aborting offload when the switch is out of resources, userspace is simply
prevented from adding more routes and has a clear indication of why.
This set does not resolve the corner case where rules or routes not
supported by the device are installed prior to the driver getting loaded
and registering for FIB notifications. In that case, hardware offload has
not been established and it can refuse to offload anything, sending
errors back to userspace via extack. Since conceptually the driver owns
the netdevices associated with its asic, this corner case mainly applies
to unsupported rules and any races during the bringup phase.
Patch 1 fixes call_fib_notifiers to extract the errno from the encoded
response from handlers.
Patches 2-5 allow the call to call_fib_notifiers to fail the add or
replace of a route or rule.
Patch 6 adds a simple resource controller to netdevsim to illustrate
how a FIB resource controller can limit the number of route entries.
Changes since RFC
- correct return code for call_fib_notifier
- dropped patch 6 exporting devlink symbols
- limited example resource controller to init_net only
- updated Kconfig for netdevsim to use MAY_USE_DEVLINK
- updated cover letter regarding startup case noted by Ido

Add devlink support to netdevsim and use it to implement a simple,
profile based resource controller. Only one controller is needed
per namespace, so the first netdevsim netdevice in a namespace
registers with devlink. If that device is deleted, the resource
settings are deleted.
The resource controller allows a user to limit the number of IPv4 and
IPv6 FIB entries and FIB rules. The resource paths are:
/IPv4
/IPv4/fib
/IPv4/fib-rules
/IPv6
/IPv6/fib
/IPv6/fib-rules
The IPv4 and IPv6 top level resources are unlimited in size and can not
be changed. From there, the number of FIB entries and FIB rule entries
are unlimited by default. A user can specify a limit for the fib and
fib-rules resources:
$ devlink resource set netdevsim/netdevsim0 path /IPv4/fib size 96
$ devlink resource set netdevsim/netdevsim0 path /IPv4/fib-rules size 16
$ devlink resource set netdevsim/netdevsim0 path /IPv6/fib size 64
$ devlink resource set netdevsim/netdevsim0 path /IPv6/fib-rules size 16
$ devlink dev reload netdevsim/netdevsim0
such that the number of rules or routes is limited (96 ipv4 routes in the
example above):
$ for n in $(seq 1 32); do ip ro add 10.99.$n.0/24 dev eth1; done
Error: netdevsim: Exceeded number of supported fib entries.
$ devlink resource show netdevsim/netdevsim0
netdevsim/netdevsim0:
name IPv4 size unlimited unit entry size_min 0 size_max unlimited size_gran 1 dpipe_tables non
resources:
name fib size 96 occ 96 unit entry size_min 0 size_max unlimited size_gran 1 dpipe_tables
...
With this template in place for resource management, it is fairly trivial
to extend and shows one way to implement a simple counter based resource
controller typical of network profiles.
Currently, devlink only supports initial namespace. Code is in place to
adapt netdevsim to a per namespace controller once the network namespace
issues are resolved.

the rings. Instead, the current series improves the resiliency for such
HW errors by detecting TX completions with errors, which will report them
and perform a fast recover for the specific faulty SQ even before a TX
timeout is detected.

Kirill Tkhai says:
====================
Introduce net_rwsem to protect net_namespace_list
The series introduces fine grained rw_semaphore, which will be used
instead of rtnl_lock() to protect net_namespace_list.
This improves scalability and allows to do non-exclusive sleepable
iteration for_each_net(), which is enough for most cases.
scripts/get_maintainer.pl gives enormous list of people, and I add
all to CC.
Note, that this patch is independent of "Close race between
{un, }register_netdevice_notifier and pernet_operations":

rtnl_lock() doesn't protect net::ct::count,
and it's not needed for__nf_ct_unconfirmed_destroy()
and for nf_queue_nf_hook_drop().

Here we iterate for_each_net() and removes
vport from alive net to the exiting net.
ovs_net::dps are protected by ovs_mutex(),
and the others, who change it (ovs_dp_cmd_new(),
__dp_destroy()) also take it.
The same with datapath::ports list.
So, we remove rtnl_lock() here.

rt_genid_bump_all() consists of ipv4 and ipv6 part.
ipv4 part is incrementing of net::ipv4::rt_genid,
and I see many places, where it's read without rtnl_lock().
ipv6 part calls __fib6_clean_all(), and it's also
called without rtnl_lock() in other places.
So, rtnl_lock() here was used to iterate net_namespace_list only,
and we can remove it.

This function iterates over net_namespace_list and flushes
the queue for every of them. What does this rtnl_lock()
protects?! Since we may add skbs to net::wext_nlevents
without rtnl_lock(), it does not protects us about queuers.
It guarantees, two threads can't flush the queue in parallel,
that can change the order, but since skb can be queued
in any order, it doesn't matter, how many threads do this
in parallel. In case of several threads, this will be even
faster.
So, we can remove rtnl_lock() here, as it was used for
iteration over net_namespace_list only.

rtnl_lock() is used everywhere, and contention is very high.
When someone wants to iterate over alive net namespaces,
he/she has no a possibility to do that without exclusive lock.
But the exclusive rtnl_lock() in such places is overkill,
and it just increases the contention. Yes, there is already
for_each_net_rcu() in kernel, but it requires rcu_read_lock(),
and this can't be sleepable. Also, sometimes it may be need
really prevent net_namespace_list growth, so for_each_net_rcu()
is not fit there.
This patch introduces new rw_semaphore, which will be used
instead of rtnl_mutex to protect net_namespace_list. It is
sleepable and allows not-exclusive iterations over net
namespaces list. It allows to stop using rtnl_lock()
in several places (what is made in next patches) and makes
less the time, we keep rtnl_mutex. Here we just add new lock,
while the explanation of we can remove rtnl_lock() there are
in next patches.
Fine grained locks generally are better, then one big lock,
so let's do that with net_namespace_list, while the situation
allows that.
