Marvell chips with an SMI PHY access in Global 2 registers handle both
Clause 22 and Clause 45 of IEEE 802.3.
The 88E6390 family has addition bits to target the internal or external
PHYs connected to the device, and a Setup function in addition to the
default (register) Access function.
Prefix the SMI PHY Command and Data registers macros, implement clear
helpers for Clause 22 and 44 Access functions, rename variable to match
the SMI and switch vocabulary (device and register addresses for Clause
22 and port and device class for Clause 45.)
Finally do not use complex macros but simple 16-bit mask to document the
registers organization.

Some Marvell chips have an Ingress Rate Limit unit. But the command
values slightly differs between models: 88E6352 use 3-bit for operations
while 88E6390 use different 2-bit operations.
This commit kills the IRL flags in favor of a new operation implementing
the "Init all resources to the initial state" operation.
This fixes the operation of 88E6390 family where 0x1000 means Read the
selected resource 0, register 0 on port 16, instead of init all.
A mv88e6xxx_irl_setup helper is added to wrap the operation call.

Allwinner V3s SoC has an Ethernet MAC and an internal PHY like the ones
in H3 SoC, however the MAC has no external *MII interfaces available at
GPIOs, thus only MII connection to internal PHY is supported.
Add this variant of EMAC to dwmac-sun8i driver.
The default value of the syscon EMAC-related register seems to have
changed from H3, but it seems to be a harmless change.

The EPHY control part of the EMAC syscon register has a bit called
CLK_SEL. On the datasheet it says that if it's 0 the EPHY clock is 25MHz
and if it's 1 the clock is 24MHz.
However, according to the datasheets, no Allwinner SoC with EPHY has any
extra xtal input pins for the EPHY, and the system xtal is 24MHz.
That means the EPHY is not possible to get a 25MHz xtal input, and thus
the frequency can only be 24MHz.
It doesn't matter on H3 as the default value of H3 is 24MHz, however on
V3s the default value is wrongly set to 25MHz, which prevented the EPHY
from working properly.
Force the EPHY clock frequency to 24MHz.

Add the beginnings of a testsuite for tc functionality in the kernel.
These are a series of unit tests that use the tc executable and verify
the success of those commands by checking both the exit codes and the
output from tc's 'show' operation.
To run the tests:
# cd tools/testing/selftests/tc-testing
# sudo ./tdc.py
You can specify the tc executable to use with the -p argument on the command
line or editing the 'TC' variable in tdc_config.py. Refer to the README for
full details on how to run.
The initial complement of test cases are limited mostly to tc actions. Test
cases are most welcome; see the creating-testcases subdirectory for help
in creating them.

Whenever firmware indicates that there's an async indication it needs
to handle, there's a switch-case where the right functionality is called
based on function's personality and information.
Before iWARP is added [as yet another client], switch over the SPQ into
a callback-registered mechanism, allowing registration of the relevant
event-processing logic based on the function's personality. This allows
us to tidy the code by removing protocol-specifics from a common file.

During the module initialisation there is a possible race
(basically race between uld and lld) where neither the uld
nor lld notifies the uP about where to route the ctrl queue
completions. LLD skips notifying uP as the rdma queues were
not created by then (will leave it to ULD to notify the uP).
As the ULD comes up, it also skips notifying the uP as the
flag FULL_INIT_DONE is not set yet (ULD assumes that the
interface is not up yet).
Consequently, this race between uld and lld leaves uP
unnotified about where to send the ctrl queue completions
to, leading to iwarp RI_RES WR failure.
Here is the race:
CPU 0 CPU1
- allocates nic rx queus
- t4_sge_alloc_ctrl_txq()
(if rdma rsp queues exists,
tell uP to route ctrl queue
compl to rdma rspq)
- acquires the mutex_lock
- allocates rdma response queues
- if FULL_INIT_DONE set,
tell uP to route ctrl queue compl
to rdma rspq
- relinquishes mutex_lock
- acquires the mutex_lock
- enable_rx()
- set FULL_INIT_DONE
- relinquishes mutex_lock
This patch fixes the above issue.

Each Octeon output ring can DMA packets to host memory in two modes: info-
pointer mode and buffer-pointer-only mode. In info-pointer mode, Octeon
takes two buffer pointers for each packet and places the length of the
packet along with specified number of bytes from the beginning of the
packet into one buffer and the rest of the packet in a separate buffer. In
buffer-pointer-only mode, Octeon takes single buffer pointer and places the
length of the packet at the beginning of the buffer followed by the packet
data.
This patch switches all Octeon output rings from info-pointer mode to
buffer-pointer-only mode. This results in fewer DMA setups and cache line
snoops.

struct dn_route is inserted into dn_rt_hash_table but no dst->__refcnt
is taken.
This patch makes sure the dn_rt_hash_table's reference to the dst is ref
counted.
As the dst is always ref counted properly, we can safely mark
DST_NOGC flag so dst_release() will release dst based on refcnt only.
And dst gc is no longer needed and all dst_free() or its related
function calls should be replaced with dst_release() or
dst_release_immediate(). And dst_dev_put() is called when removing dst
from the hash table to release the reference on dst->dev before we lose
pointer to it.
Also, correct the logic in dn_dst_check_expire() and dn_dst_gc() to
check dst->__refcnt to be > 1 to indicate it is referenced by other
users.

During the creation of xfrm_dst bundle, always take ref count when
allocating the dst. This way, xfrm_bundle_create() will form a linked
list of dst with dst->child pointing to a ref counted dst child. And
the returned dst pointer is also ref counted. This makes the link from
the flow cache to this dst now ref counted properly.
As the dst is always ref counted properly, we can safely mark
DST_NOGC flag so dst_release() will release dst based on refcnt only.
And dst gc is no longer needed and all dst_free() and its related
function calls should be replaced with dst_release() or
dst_release_immediate().
The special handling logic for dst->child in dst_destroy() can be
replaced with a simple dst_release_immediate() call on the child to
release the whole list linked by dst->child pointer.
Previously used DST_NOHASH flag is not needed anymore as well. The
reason that DST_NOHASH is used in the existing code is mainly to prevent
the dst inserted in the fib tree to be wrongly destroyed during the
deletion of the xfrm_dst bundle. So in the existing code, DST_NOHASH
flag is marked in all the dst children except the one which is in the
fib tree.
However, with this patch series to remove dst gc logic and release dst
only based on ref count, it is safe to release all the children from a
xfrm_dst bundle as long as the dst children are all ref counted
properly which is already the case in the existing code.
So, this patch removes the use of DST_NOHASH flag.

So this patch adds DST_NOGC flag for all IPv6 dst and remove the calls
to dst_free() and its related functions.
At this point, all dst created in ipv6 code do not use the dst gc

Also, as icmp6 dst route is refcounted during creation and will be freed
by user during its call of dst_release(), there is no need to add this
dst to the icmp6 gc list as well.
Instead, we need to add it into uncached list so that when a

In IPv6 routing code, struct rt6_info is created for each static route
and RTF_CACHE route and inserted into fib6 tree. In both cases, dst
ref count is not taken.
As explained in the previous patch, this leads to the need of the dst
garbage collector.
This patch holds ref count of dst before inserting the route into fib6
tree and properly releases the dst when deleting it from the fib6 tree
as a preparation in order to fully get rid of dst gc later.
Also, correct fib6_age() logic to check dst->__refcnt to be 1 to indicate
no user is referencing the dst.
And remove dst_hold() in vrf_rt6_create() as ip6_dst_alloc() already puts
dst->__refcnt to 1.

This patch checks all the calls to
dst_hold()/skb_dst_force()/dst_clone()/dst_use() to see if
dst_hold_safe() is needed to avoid double free issue if dst
gc is removed and dst_release() directly destroys dst when
dst->__refcnt drops to 0.
In tx path, TCP hold sk->sk_rx_dst ref count and also hold sock_lock().
UDP and other similar protocols always hold refcount for
skb->_skb_refdst. So both paths seem to be safe.
In rx path, as it is lockless and skb_dst_set_noref() is likely to be
used, dst_hold_safe() should always be used when trying to hold dst.
In the routing code, if dst is held during an rcu protected session, it
is necessary to call dst_hold_safe() as the current dst might be in its
rcu grace period.

In IPv4 routing code, fib_nh and fib_nh_exception can hold pointers
to struct rtable but they never increment dst->__refcnt.
This leads to the need of the dst garbage collector because when user
is done with this dst and calls dst_release(), it can only decrement
dst->__refcnt and can not free the dst even it sees dst->__refcnt
drops from 1 to 0 (unless DST_NOCACHE flag is set) because the routing
code might still hold reference to it.
And when the routing code tries to delete a route, it has to put the
dst to the gc_list if dst->__refcnt is not yet 0 and have a gc thread
running periodically to check on dst->__refcnt and finally to free dst
when refcnt becomes 0.
This patch increments dst->__refcnt when
fib_nh/fib_nh_exception holds reference to this dst and properly release
the dst when fib_nh/fib_nh_exception has been updated with a new dst.
This patch is a preparation in order to fully get rid of dst gc later.
