<title>intersil: Use struct_group() for memcpy() region</title>

<id>urn:sha1:601d2293e27f6fb37b30b836d724333a4ed79fe9</id>
<content type='text'>
In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memcpy(), memmove(), and memset(), avoid
intentionally writing across neighboring fields.

Use struct_group() in struct hfa384x_tx_frame around members
frame_control, duration_id, addr1, addr2, addr3, and seq_ctrl, so they
can be referenced together. This will allow memcpy() and sizeof() to
more easily reason about sizes, improve readability, and avoid future
warnings about writing beyond the end of frame_control.

"pahole" shows no size nor member offset changes to struct
hfa384x_tx_frame. "objdump -d" shows no object code changes.

hostap has a combination of iwpriv ioctls that do not work at
all, and two SIOCDEVPRIVATE commands that work natively but
lack a compat conversion handler.

For the moment, move them over to the new ndo_siocdevprivate
interface and return an error for compat mode.

<title>proc: mandate -&gt;proc_lseek in "struct proc_ops"</title>

<content type='text'>
Now that proc_ops are separate from file_operations and other operations
it easy to check all instances to have -&gt;proc_lseek hook and remove check
in main code.

Note:
nonseekable_open() files naturally don't require -&gt;proc_lseek.

Garbage collect pde_lseek() function.

to have many more reliable mechanisms to determine if device is

hostap_get_wireless_stats() is the iw_handler_if::get_wireless_stats()
callback of this driver. This callback was not allowed to sleep until
commit a160ee69c6a46 ("wext: let get_wireless_stats() sleep") in v2.6.32.

Remove the therefore pointless in_atomic() check.

gcc -Wextra complains about the function type cast:

Avoid this by just using the regular tasklet_setup() function instead
of the incorrect homegrown version.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:

 - Add redirect_neigh() BPF packet redirect helper, allowing to limit
   stack traversal in common container configs and improving TCP
   back-pressure.

   Daniel reports ~10Gbps =&gt; ~15Gbps single stream TCP performance gain.

 - Expand netlink policy support and improve policy export to user
   space. (Ge)netlink core performs request validation according to
   declared policies. Expand the expressiveness of those policies
   (min/max length and bitmasks). Allow dumping policies for particular
   commands. This is used for feature discovery by user space (instead
   of kernel version parsing or trial and error).

 - Support IGMPv3/MLDv2 multicast listener discovery protocols in
   bridge.

 - Allow more than 255 IPv4 multicast interfaces.

 - Add support for Type of Service (ToS) reflection in SYN/SYN-ACK
   packets of TCPv6.

 - In Multi-patch TCP (MPTCP) support concurrent transmission of data on
   multiple subflows in a load balancing scenario. Enhance advertising
   addresses via the RM_ADDR/ADD_ADDR options.

 - Support SMC-Dv2 version of SMC, which enables multi-subnet
   deployments.

 - Allow more calls to same peer in RxRPC.

 - Support two new Controller Area Network (CAN) protocols - CAN-FD and
   ISO 15765-2:2016.

 - Add xfrm/IPsec compat layer, solving the 32bit user space on 64bit
   kernel problem.

 - Add TC actions for implementing MPLS L2 VPNs.

 - Improve nexthop code - e.g. handle various corner cases when nexthop
   objects are removed from groups better, skip unnecessary
   notifications and make it easier to offload nexthops into HW by
   converting to a blocking notifier.

 - Support adding and consuming TCP header options by BPF programs,
   opening the doors for easy experimental and deployment-specific TCP
   option use.

 - Reorganize TCP congestion control (CC) initialization to simplify
   life of TCP CC implemented in BPF.

 - Add support for shipping BPF programs with the kernel and loading
   them early on boot via the User Mode Driver mechanism, hence reusing
   all the user space infra we have.

 - Support sleepable BPF programs, initially targeting LSM and tracing.

 - Add bpf_d_path() helper for returning full path for given 'struct
   path'.

 - Make bpf_tail_call compatible with bpf-to-bpf calls.

 - Allow BPF programs to call map_update_elem on sockmaps.

 - Add BPF Type Format (BTF) support for type and enum discovery, as
   well as support for using BTF within the kernel itself (current use
   is for pretty printing structures).

 - Support listing and getting information about bpf_links via the bpf
   syscall.

 - Enhance kernel interfaces around NIC firmware update. Allow
   specifying overwrite mask to control if settings etc. are reset
   during update; report expected max time operation may take to users;
   support firmware activation without machine reboot incl. limits of
   how much impact reset may have (e.g. dropping link or not).

 - Extend ethtool configuration interface to report IEEE-standard
   counters, to limit the need for per-vendor logic in user space.

 - Adopt or extend devlink use for debug, monitoring, fw update in many
   drivers (dsa loop, ice, ionic, sja1105, qed, mlxsw, mv88e6xxx,
   dpaa2-eth).

 - In mlxsw expose critical and emergency SFP module temperature alarms.
   Refactor port buffer handling to make the defaults more suitable and
   support setting these values explicitly via the DCBNL interface.

 - Add XDP support for Intel's igb driver.

 - Support offloading TC flower classification and filtering rules to
   mscc_ocelot switches.

 - Add PTP support for Marvell Octeontx2 and PP2.2 hardware, as well as
   fixed interval period pulse generator and one-step timestamping in
   dpaa-eth.

 - Add support for various auth offloads in WiFi APs, e.g. SAE (WPA3)
   offload.

 - Add Lynx PHY/PCS MDIO module, and convert various drivers which have
   this HW to use it. Convert mvpp2 to split PCS.

 - Support Marvell Prestera 98DX3255 24-port switch ASICs, as well as
   7-port Mediatek MT7531 IP.

 - Add initial support for QCA6390 and IPQ6018 in ath11k WiFi driver,
   and wcn3680 support in wcn36xx.

 - Improve performance for packets which don't require much offloads on
   recent Mellanox NICs by 20% by making multiple packets share a
   descriptor entry.

 - Move chelsio inline crypto drivers (for TLS and IPsec) from the
   crypto subtree to drivers/net. Move MDIO drivers out of the phy
   directory.

 - Clean up a lot of W=1 warnings, reportedly the actively developed
   subsections of networking drivers should now build W=1 warning free.

 - Make sure drivers don't use in_interrupt() to dynamically adapt their
   code. Convert tasklets to use new tasklet_setup API (sadly this
   conversion is not yet complete).
