Some chip versions have a hw bug resulting in lost door bell rings.
To work around this the doorbell is also rung whenever we still have
tx descriptors in flight after having cleaned up tx descriptors.
These PCI(e) writes come at a cost, therefore let's reduce the number
of extra doorbell rings.
If skb is NULL then this means:
- last cleaned-up descriptor belongs to a skb with at least one fragment
and last fragment isn't marked as sent yet
- hw is in progress sending the skb, therefore no extra doorbell ring
is needed for this skb
- once last fragment is marked as transmitted hw will trigger
a tx done interrupt and we come here again (with skb != NULL)
and ring the doorbell if needed
Therefore skip the workaround doorbell ring if skb is NULL.

mptcp: More miscellaneous MPTCP fixes
Here's another batch of fixup and enhancement patches that we have
collected in the MPTCP tree.
Patch 1 removes an unnecessary flag and related code.
Patch 2 fixes a bug encountered when closing fallback sockets.
Patches 3 and 4 choose a better transmit subflow, with a self test.
Patch 5 adjusts tracking of unaccepted subflows
Patches 6-8 improve handling of long ADD_ADDR options, with a test.
Patch 9 more reliably tracks the MPTCP-level window shared with peers.
Patch 10 sends MPTCP-level acknowledgements more aggressively, so the
peer can send more data without extra delay.

Send timely MPTCP-level ack is somewhat difficult when
the insertion into the msk receive level is performed
by the worker.
It needs TCP-level dup-ack to notify the MPTCP-level
ack_seq increase, as both the TCP-level ack seq and the
rcv window are unchanged.
We can actually avoid processing incoming data with the
worker, and let the subflow or recevmsg() send ack as needed.
When recvmsg() moves the skbs inside the msk receive queue,
the msk space is still unchanged, so tcp_cleanup_rbuf() could
end-up skipping TCP-level ack generation. Anyway, when
__mptcp_move_skbs() is invoked, a known amount of bytes is
going to be consumed soon: we update rcv wnd computation taking
them in account.
Additionally we need to explicitly trigger tcp_cleanup_rbuf()
when recvmsg() consumes a significant amount of the receive buffer.

OoO handling attempts to detect when packet is out-of-window by testing
current ack sequence and remaining space vs. sequence number.
This doesn't work reliably. Store the highest allowed sequence number
that we've announced and use it to detect oow packets.
Do this when mptcp options get written to the packet (wire format).
For this to work we need to move the write_options call until after

When ADD_ADDR suboption includes an IPv6 address, the size is 28 octets.
It will not fit when other MPTCP suboptions are included in this packet,
e.g. DSS. So here we send out an ADD_ADDR dedicated packet to carry only
ADD_ADDR suboption, no other MPTCP suboptions.
In mptcp_pm_announce_addr, we check whether this is an IPv6 ADD_ADDR.
If it is, we set the flag MPTCP_ADD_ADDR_IPV6 to true. Then we call
mptcp_pm_nl_add_addr_send_ack to sent out a new pure ACK packet.
In mptcp_established_options_add_addr, we check whether this is a pure
ACK packet for ADD_ADDR. If it is, we drop all other MPTCP suboptions
in this packet, only put ADD_ADDR suboption in it.

mlxsw: Add support for nexthop objects
This patch set adds support for nexthop objects in mlxsw. Nexthop
objects are treated as another front-end for programming nexthops, in
addition to the existing IPv4 and IPv6 front-ends.
Patch #1 registers a listener to the nexthop notification chain and
parses the nexthop information into the existing mlxsw data structures
that are already used by the IPv4 and IPv6 front-ends. Blackhole
nexthops are currently rejected. Support will be added in a follow-up
patch set.
Patch #2 extends mlxsw to resolve its internal nexthop objects from the
nexthop identifier encoded in the FIB info of the notified routes.
Patch #3 finally removes the limitation of rejecting routes that use
nexthop objects.
Patch #4 adds a selftest.
Patches #5-#8 add generic forwarding selftests that can be used with

====================
devlink: move common flash_update calls to core
This series moves a couple common pieces done by all drivers of the
->flash_update interface into devlink.c flash update handler. Specifically,
the core code will now request_firmware and
devlink_flash_update_(begin|end)_notify.
This cleanup is intended to simplify driver implementations so that they
have less work to do and are less capable of doing the "wrong" thing.
For request_firmware, this simplification is done as it is not expected that
drivers would do anything else. It also standardizes all drivers so that
they use the same interface (request_firmware, as opposed to
request_firmware_direct), and allows reporting the netlink extended ack with
the file name attribute.
For status notification, this change prevents drivers from sending a status
message without properly sending the status end notification. The current
userspace implementation of devlink relies on this end notification to
properly close the flash update channel. Without this, the flash update
process may hang indefinitely. By moving the begin and end calls into the
core code, it is no longer possible for a driver author to get this wrong.
Changes since v3
* picked up acked-by and reviewed-by comments
* fixed the ionic driver to leave the print statement in place

When performing a flash update via devlink, device drivers may inform
user space of status updates via
devlink_flash_update_(begin|end|timeout|status)_notify functions.
It is expected that drivers do not send any status notifications unless
they send a begin and end message. If a driver sends a status
notification without sending the appropriate end notification upon
finishing (regardless of success or failure), the current implementation
of the devlink userspace program can get stuck endlessly waiting for the
end notification that will never come.
The current ice driver implementation may send such a status message
without the appropriate end notification in rare cases.
Fixing the ice driver is relatively simple: we just need to send the
begin_notify at the start of the function and always send an end_notify
no matter how the function exits.
Rather than assuming driver authors will always get this right in the
future, lets just fix the API so that it is not possible to get wrong.
Make devlink_flash_update_begin_notify and
devlink_flash_update_end_notify static, and call them in devlink.c core
code. Always send the begin_notify just before calling the driver's
flash_update routine. Always send the end_notify just after the routine
returns regardless of success or failure.
Doing this makes the status notification easier to use from the driver,
as it no longer needs to worry about catching failures and cleaning up
by calling devlink_flash_update_end_notify. It is now no longer possible
to do the wrong thing in this regard. We also save a couple of lines of
code in each driver.
