<title>net: add per-cpu storage and net-&gt;core_stats</title>

<content type='text'>
Before adding yet another possibly contended atomic_long_t,
it is time to add per-cpu storage for existing ones:
 dev-&gt;tx_dropped, dev-&gt;rx_dropped, and dev-&gt;rx_nohandler

Because many devices do not have to increment such counters,
allocate the per-cpu storage on demand, so that dev_get_stats()
does not have to spend considerable time folding zero counters.

Note that some drivers have abused these counters which
were supposed to be only used by core networking stack.

v4: should use per_cpu_ptr() in dev_get_stats() (Jakub)
v3: added a READ_ONCE() in netdev_core_stats_alloc() (Paolo)
v2: add a missing include (reported by kernel test robot &lt;lkp@intel.com&gt;)
    Change in netdev_core_stats_alloc() (Jakub)

<content type='text'>
Since commit
   baebdf48c3600 ("net: dev: Makes sure netif_rx() can be invoked in any context.")

the function netif_rx() can be used in preemptible/thread context as
well as in interrupt context.

Use netif_rx().

Mark Brown says:

====================
spi: Make remove() return void

This series from Uwe Kleine-König converts the spi remove function to
return void since there is nothing useful that we can do with a failure
and it as more buses are converted it'll enable further work on the
driver core.

Use skb_put_zero() instead of hand-writing it. This saves a few lines of
code and is more readable.

<title>spi: make remove callback a void function</title>

<content type='text'>
The value returned by an spi driver's remove function is mostly ignored.
(Only an error message is printed if the value is non-zero that the
error is ignored.)

So change the prototype of the remove function to return no value. This
way driver authors are not tempted to assume that passing an error to
the upper layer is a good idea. All drivers are adapted accordingly.
There is no intended change of behaviour, all callbacks were prepared to
return 0 before.

<title>ethernet: constify references to netdev-&gt;dev_addr in drivers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:766607570becbd26cab6d66a544dd8d0d964df5a</id>
<content type='text'>
This big patch sprinkles const on local variables and
function arguments which may refer to netdev-&gt;dev_addr.

Commit 406f42fa0d3c ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount
of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look
up. To maintain netdev-&gt;dev_addr in this tree we need to make all
the writes to it got through appropriate helpers.

Some of the changes here are not strictly required - const
is sometimes cast off but pointer is not used for writing.
It seems like it's still better to add the const in case
the code changes later or relevant -W flags get enabled
for the build.

No functional changes.

<content type='text'>
Convert a few drivers to device_get_ethdev_address(),
saving a few LoC.

The check if addr is valid in netsec is superfluous,
device_get_ethdev_addr() already checks that (in
fwnode_get_mac_addr()).

All callers pass in ETH_ALEN and the function itself
will return -EINVAL for any other address length.
Just assume it's ETH_ALEN like all other mac address
helpers (nvm, of, platform).
