In commit d999297c3d
("tipc: reduce locking scope during packet reception") we introduced
a new function tipc_link_proto_rcv(). This function contains a bug,
so that it sometimes by error sends out a non-zero link priority value
in created protocol messages.
The bug may lead to an extra link reset at initial link establising
with older nodes. This will never happen more than once, whereafter
the link will work as intended.
We fix this bug in this commit.

net: enable inband link state negotiation only when explicitly requested
Changes in v5:
- removed an invalid use of the link_update callback in the SF2 driver

- reworded the commit message for patch 2 to make it clear what it fixes and

Initial cover letter from Stas:
Hello.
Currently the link status auto-negotiation is enabled
for any SGMII link with fixed-link DT binding.
The regression was reported:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/8/865
Apparently not all HW that implements SGMII protocol, generates the
inband status for the auto-negotiation to work.
More details here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/10/206
The following patches reverts to the old behavior by default,
which is to not enable the auto-negotiation for fixed-link.
The new DT property is added that allows to explicitly request
the auto-negotiation.

The commit 898b2970e2 ("mvneta: implement SGMII-based in-band link state
signaling") implemented the link parameters auto-negotiation unconditionally.
Unfortunately it appears that some HW that implements SGMII protocol,
doesn't generate the inband status, so it is not possible to auto-negotiate
anything with such HW.
This patch enables the auto-negotiation only if explicitly requested with
the 'managed' DT property.
This patch fixes the following regression:

Currently the PHY management type is selected by the MAC driver arbitrary.
The decision is based on the presence of the "fixed-link" node and on a
will of the driver's authors.
This caused a regression recently, when mvneta driver suddenly started
to use the in-band status for auto-negotiation on fixed links.
It appears the auto-negotiation may not work when expected by the MAC driver.
Sebastien Rannou explains:
<< Yes, I confirm that my HW does not generate an in-band status. AFAIK, it's
a PHY that aggregates 4xSGMIIs to 1xQSGMII ; the MAC side of the PHY (with
inband status) is connected to the switch through QSGMII, and in this context
we are on the media side of the PHY. >>
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/10/206
This patch introduces the new string property 'managed' that allows
the user to set the management type explicitly.
The supported values are:
"auto" - default. Uses either MDIO or nothing, depending on the presence
of the fixed-link node
"in-band-status" - use in-band status

fixed_phy_register() currently hardcodes the fixed PHY link to 1, and
expects to find a "speed" parameter to provide correct information
towards the fixed PHY consumer.
In a subsequent change, where we allow "managed" (e.g: (RS)GMII in-band
status auto-negotiation) fixed PHYs, none of these parameters can be
provided since they will be auto-negotiated, hence, we just provide a
zero-initialized fixed_phy_status to fixed_phy_register() which makes it
fail when we call fixed_phy_update_regs() since status.speed = 0 which
makes us hit the "default" label and error out.
Without this change, we would also see potentially inconsistent
speed/duplex parameters for fixed PHYs when the link is DOWN.

The SF2 driver currently overrides speed settings for its port
configured using a fixed PHY, this is both unnecessary and incorrect,
because we keep feedback to the hardware parameters that we read from
the PHY device, which in the case of a fixed PHY cannot possibly change
speed.
This is a required change to allow the fixed PHY code to allow
registering a PHY with a link configured as DOWN by default and avoid
some sort of circular dependency where we require the link_update
callback to run to program the hardware, and we then utilize the fixed
PHY parameters to program the hardware with the same settings.

====================
Lightweight & flow based encapsulation
This series combines the work previously posted by Roopa, Robert and
myself. It's according to what we discussed at NFWS. The motivation
of this series is to:
* Consolidate code between OVS and the rest of the kernel and get
rid of OVS vports and instead represent them as pure net_devices.
* Introduce a lightweight tunneling mechanism which enables flow
based encapsulation to improve scalability on both RX and TX.
* Do the above in an encapsulation unspecific way so that the
encapsulation type is eventually abstracted away from the user.
* Use the same forwarding decision for both native forwarding and
encapsulation thus allowing to switch between native IPv6 and
UDP encapsulation based on endpoint without requiring additional
logic
The fundamental changes introduces in this series are:
* A new RTA_ENCAP Netlink attribute for routes carrying encapsulation
instructions. Depending on the specified type, the instructions
apply to UDP encapsulations, MPLS and possible other in the future.
* Depending on the encapsulation type, the output function of the
dst is directly overwritten or the dst merely attaches metadata and
relies on a subsequent net_device to apply it to the packet. The
latter is typically used if an inner and outer IP header exist which
require two subsequent routing lookups to be performed.
* A new metadata_dst structure which can be attached to skbs to
carry metadata in between subsystems. This new metadata transport
is used to provide a single interface for VXLAN, routing and OVS
to communicate through metadata.
The OVS interfaces remain as-is but will transparently create a real
VXLAN net_device in the background. iproute2 is extended with a new
use cases:
VXLAN:
ip route add 40.1.1.1/32 encap vxlan id 10 dst 50.1.1.2 dev vxlan0
MPLS:
ip route add 10.1.1.0/30 encap mpls 200 via inet 10.1.1.1 dev swp1
Performance implications:
The additional memory allocation in the receive path should have
performance implications although it is not observable in standard
throughput tests if GRO is properly done. The correct net_device
model outweights the additional cost of the allocation. Furthermore,
this implication can be relaxed by reintroducing a direct unqueued
path from a software device to a consumer like bridge or OVS if
needed.

Allows putting a VXLAN device into a new flow-based mode in which
skbs with a ip_tunnel_info dst metadata attached will be encapsulated
according to the instructions stored in there with the VXLAN device
defaults taken into consideration.
Similar on the receive side, if the VXLAN_F_COLLECT_METADATA flag is
set, the packet processing will populate a ip_tunnel_info struct for
each packet received and attach it to the skb using the new metadata
dst. The metadata structure will contain the outer header and tunnel
header fields which have been stripped off. Layers further up in the
stack such as routing, tc or netfitler can later match on these fields
and perform forwarding. It is the responsibility of upper layers to
ensure that the flag is set if the metadata is needed. The flag limits
the additional cost of metadata collecting based on demand.
This prepares the VXLAN device to be steered by the routing and other
subsystems which allows to support encapsulation for a large number
of tunnel endpoints and tunnel ids through a single net_device which
improves the scalability.
It also allows for OVS to leverage this mode which in turn allows for
the removal of the OVS specific VXLAN code.
Because the skb is currently scrubed in vxlan_rcv(), the attachment of
the new dst metadata is postponed until after scrubing which requires
the temporary addition of a new member to vxlan_metadata. This member
is removed again in a later commit after the indirect VXLAN receive API
has been removed.

Introduces a new dst_metadata which enables to carry per packet metadata
between forwarding and processing elements via the skb->dst pointer.
The structure is set up to be a union. Thus, each separate type of
metadata requires its own dst instance. If demand arises to carry
multiple types of metadata concurrently, metadata dst entries can be
made stackable.
The metadata dst entry is refcnt'ed as expected for now but a non
reference counted use is possible if the reference is forced before
queueing the skb.
In order to allow allocating dsts with variable length, the existing
dst_alloc() is split into a dst_alloc() and dst_init() function. The
existing dst_init() function to initialize the subsystem is being
renamed to dst_subsys_init() to make it clear what is what.

choosen one will always belong to the interface being used for output.

In short, sctp is likely to incorrectly choose src address if socket is
bound to secondary addresses. This patch fixes it by adding a new check
that checks if such src address belongs to the interface that routing
identified as output.
This is enough to avoid rp_filter drops on remote peer.
Details:
Currently, sctp will do a routing attempt without specifying the src
address and compare the returned value (preferred source) with the
addresses that the socket is bound to. When using secondary addresses,
this will not match.
Then it will try specifying each of the addresses that the socket is
bound to and re-routing, checking if that address is valid as src for
that dst. Thing is, this check alone is weak:

Allow eBPF programs attached to TC qdiscs call skb_vlan_push/pop via
helper functions. These functions may change skb->data/hlen which are
cached by some JITs to improve performance of ld_abs/ld_ind instructions.
Therefore JITs need to recognize bpf_skb_vlan_push/pop() calls,
re-compute header len and re-cache skb->data/hlen back into cpu registers.
Note, skb->data/hlen are not directly accessible from the programs,
so any changes to skb->data done either by these helpers or by other
TC actions are safe.
eBPF JIT supported by three architectures:
- arm64 JIT is using bpf_load_pointer() without caching, so it's ok as-is.
- x64 JIT re-caches skb->data/hlen unconditionally after vlan_push/pop calls
(experiments showed that conditional re-caching is slower).
- s390 JIT falls back to interpreter for now when bpf_skb_vlan_push() is present
in the program (re-caching is tbd).
These helpers allow more scalable handling of vlan from the programs.
Instead of creating thousands of vlan netdevs on top of eth0 and attaching
TC+ingress+bpf to all of them, the program can be attached to eth0 directly
and manipulate vlans as necessary.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-07-17
This series contains updates to igb, ixgbe, ixgbevf, i40e, bnx2x,
freescale, siena and dp83640.
Jacob provides several patches to clarify the intended way to implement
both SIOCSHWTSTAMP and ethtool's get_ts_info(). It is okay to support
the specific filters in SIOCSHWTSTAMP by upscaling them to the generic
filters.
Alex Duyck provides a igb patch to pull the time stamp from the fragment
before it gets added to the skb, to avoid a possible issue in which the
fragment can possibly be less than IGB_RX_HDR_LEN due to the time stamp
being pulled after the copybreak check. Also provides a ixgbevf patch to
fold the ixgbevf_pull_tail() call into ixgbevf_add_rx_frag(), which gives
the advantage that the fragment does not have to be modified after it is
added to the skb.
Fan provides patches for ixgbe/ixgbevf to set the receive hash type
based on receive descriptor RSS type.
Todd provides a fix for igb where on check for link on any media other
than copper was not being detected since it was looking on the incorrect
PHY page (due to the page being used gets switched before the function
to check link gets executed).

net: bcmgenet: PHY initialization rework
This patch series reworks how we perform PHY initialization and resets in the
GENET driver. Although this contains mostly fixes, some of the changes are a
bit too intrusive to be backported to 'net' at the moment.
Some of the motivations behind these changes were to reduce the time spent in how
performing MDIO transactions, since it is better to perform then when we have
interrupts enabled. This reduces the bring-up time of GENET from ~600 msecs down
to ~8 msecs, and about the same time for suspend/resume.
Since I do not currently have a system which is not DT-aware, can you (Petri,
Jaedon) give this a try and confirm things keep working as expected?
