<content type='text'>
All qeth devices have a minimum set of sysfs attributes, and non-OSN
devices share a group of additional attributes. Depending on whether
the device is forced to use a specific discipline, the device_type then
specifies further attributes.

Shift the common attributes into dev-&gt;groups, so that the device_type
only contains the discipline-specific attributes. This avoids exposing
the common attributes to the disciplines, and nicely cleans up our
sysfs code.

While replacing the qeth_l*_*_device_attributes() helpers, switch from
sysfs_*_groups() to the more generic device_*_groups().

<title>s390/qeth: Reset address notification in case of buffer overflow</title>

<id>urn:sha1:817741a8eaa21cc46baf6c4852e4ff83204b8181</id>
<content type='text'>
In case hardware sends more device-to-bridge-address-change notfications
than the qeth-l2 driver can handle, the hardware will send an overflow
event and then stop sending any events. It expects software to flush its
FDB and start over again. Re-enabling address-change-notification will
report all current addresses.

In order to re-enable address-change-notification this patch defines
the functions qeth_l2_dev2br_an_set() and qeth_l2_dev2br_an_set_cb
to enable or disable dev-to-bridge-address-notification.

A following patch will use the learning_sync bridgeport flag to trigger
enabling or disabling of address-change-notification, so we define
priv-&gt;brport_features to store the current setting. BRIDGE_INFO and
ADDR_INFO functionality are mutually exclusive, whereas ADDR_INFO and
qeth_l2_vnicc* can be used together.

Alternative implementations to handle buffer overflow:
Just re-enabling notification and adding all newly reported addresses
would cover any lost 'add' events, but not the lost 'delete' events.
Then these invalid addresses would stay in the bridge FDB as long as the
device exists.
Setting the net device down and up, would be an alternative, but is a bit
drastic. If the net device has many secondary addresses this will create
many delete/add events at its peers which could de-stabilize the
network segment.

<title>s390/qeth: strictly order bridge address events</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9d6a569a4cbab5a8b4c959d4e312daeecb7c9f09</id>
<content type='text'>
The current code for bridge address events has two shortcomings in its
control sequence:

1. after disabling address events via PNSO, we don't flush the remaining
   events from the event_wq. So if the feature is re-enabled fast
   enough, stale events could leak over.
2. PNSO and the events' arrival via the READ ccw device are unordered.
   So even if we flushed the workqueue, it's difficult to say whether
   the READ device might produce more events onto the workqueue
   afterwards.

Fix this by
1. explicitly fencing off the events when we no longer care, in the
   READ device's event handler. This ensures that once we flush the
   workqueue, it doesn't get additional address events.
2. Flush the workqueue after disabling the events &amp; fencing them off.
   As the code that triggers the flush will typically hold the sbp_lock,
   we need to rework the worker code to avoid a deadlock here in case
   of a 'notifications-stopped' event. In case of lock contention,
   requeue such an event with a delay. We'll eventually aquire the lock,
   or spot that the feature has been disabled and the event can thus be
   discarded.

This leaves the theoretical race that a stale event could arrive
_after_ we re-enabled ourselves to receive events again. Such an event
would be impossible to distinguish from a 'good' event, nothing we can
do about it.

<content type='text'>
When managing the promiscuous mode during an RX modeset, qeth caches the
current HW state to avoid repeated programming of the same state on each
modeset.

But while tearing down a device, we forget to clear the cached state. So
when the device is later set online again, the initial RX modeset
doesn't program the promiscuous mode since we believe it is already
enabled.
Fix this by clearing the cached state in the tear-down path.

Note that for the SBP variant of promiscuous mode, this accidentally
works right now because we unconditionally restore the SBP role while
re-initializing.

The L2 bridgeport code uses the coarse 'conf_mutex' for guarding access
to its configuration state.
This can result in a deadlock when qeth_l2_stop_card() - called under the
conf_mutex - blocks on flush_workqueue() to wait for the completion of
pending bridgeport workers. Such workers would also need to aquire
the conf_mutex, stalling indefinitely.

Introduce a lock that specifically guards the bridgeport configuration,
so that the workers no longer need the conf_mutex.
Wrapping qeth_l2_promisc_to_bridge() in this fine-grained lock then also
fixes a theoretical race against a concurrent qeth_bridge_port_role_store()
operation.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
