Vladimir Oltean 3e85f580e3 net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: deny vid 0 on the CPU port and DSA links too
mv88e6xxx apparently has a problem offloading VID 0, which the 8021q
module tries to install as part of commit ad1afb0039 ("vlan_dev: VLAN
0 should be treated as "no vlan tag" (802.1p packet)"). That mv88e6xxx
restriction seems to have been introduced by the "VTU GetNext VID-1
trick to retrieve a single entry" - see commit 2fb5ef09de ("net: dsa:
mv88e6xxx: extract single VLAN retrieval").

There is one more problem. The mv88e6xxx CPU port and DSA links do not
report properly in the prepare phase what are the VLANs that they can
offload. They'll say they can offload everything:

mv88e6xxx_port_vlan_prepare
-> mv88e6xxx_port_check_hw_vlan:

	/* DSA and CPU ports have to be members of multiple vlans */
	if (dsa_is_dsa_port(ds, port) || dsa_is_cpu_port(ds, port))
		return 0;

Except that if you actually try to commit to it, they'll error out and
print this message:

[   32.802438] mv88e6085 d0032004.mdio-mii:12: p9: failed to add VLAN 0t

which comes from:

mv88e6xxx_port_vlan_add
-> mv88e6xxx_port_vlan_join:

	if (!vid)
		return -EOPNOTSUPP;

What prevents this condition from triggering in real life? The fact that
when a DSA_NOTIFIER_VLAN_ADD is emitted, it never targets a DSA link
directly. Instead, the notifier will always target either a user port or
a CPU port. DSA links just happen to get dragged in by:

static bool dsa_switch_vlan_match(struct dsa_switch *ds, int port,
				  struct dsa_notifier_vlan_info *info)
{
	...
	if (dsa_is_dsa_port(ds, port))
		return true;
	...
}

So for every DSA VLAN notifier, during the prepare phase, it will just
so happen that there will be somebody to say "no, don't do that".

This will become a problem when the switchdev prepare/commit transactional
model goes away. Every port needs to think on its own. DSA links can no
longer bluff and rely on the fact that the prepare phase will not go
through to the end, because there will be no prepare phase any longer.

Fix this issue before it becomes a problem, by having the "vid == 0"
check earlier than the check whether we are a CPU port / DSA link or not.
Also, the "vid == 0" check becomes unnecessary in the .port_vlan_add
callback, so we can remove it.

      br_switchdev_port_vlan_add

The ranges UAPI was introduced to the bridge in commit bdced7ef78
("bridge: support for multiple vlans and vlan ranges in setlink and
dellink requests") (Jan 10 2015). But the VLAN ranges (parsed in br_afspec)
have always been passed one by one, through struct bridge_vlan_info
tmp_vinfo, to br_vlan_info. So the range never went too far in depth.

Then Scott Feldman introduced the switchdev_port_bridge_setlink function
in commit 47f8328bb1 ("switchdev: add new switchdev bridge setlink").
That marked the introduction of the SWITCHDEV_OBJ_PORT_VLAN, which made
full use of the range. But switchdev_port_bridge_setlink was called like
this:

br_setlink
-> br_afspec
-> switchdev_port_bridge_setlink

Basically, the switchdev and the bridge code were not tightly integrated.
Then commit 41c498b935 ("bridge: restore br_setlink back to original")
came, and switchdev drivers were required to implement
.ndo_bridge_setlink = switchdev_port_bridge_setlink for a while.

In the meantime, commits such as 0944d6b5a2 ("bridge: try switchdev op
first in __vlan_vid_add/del") finally made switchdev penetrate the
br_vlan_info() barrier and start to develop the call path we have today.
But remember, br_vlan_info() still receives VLANs one by one.

Then Arkadi Sharshevsky refactored the switchdev API in 2017 in commit
29ab586c3d ("net: switchdev: Remove bridge bypass support from
switchdev") so that drivers would not implement .ndo_bridge_setlink any
longer. The switchdev_port_bridge_setlink also got deleted.
This refactoring removed the parallel bridge_setlink implementation from
switchdev, and left the only switchdev VLAN objects to be the ones
offloaded from __vlan_vid_add (basically RX filtering) and  __vlan_add
(the latter coming from commit 9c86ce2c1a ("net: bridge: Notify about
bridge VLANs")).

That is to say, today the switchdev VLAN object ranges are not used in
the kernel. Refactoring the above call path is a bit complicated, when
the bridge VLAN call path is already a bit complicated.

Let's go off and finish the job of commit 29ab586c3d by deleting the
bogus iteration through the VLAN ranges from the drivers. Some aspects
of this feature never made too much sense in the first place. For
example, what is a range of VLANs all having the BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_PVID
flag supposed to mean, when a port can obviously have a single pvid?
This particular configuration _is_ denied as of commit 6623c60dc2
("bridge: vlan: enforce no pvid flag in vlan ranges"), but from an API
perspective, the driver still has to play pretend, and only offload the
vlan->vid_end as pvid. And the addition of a switchdev VLAN object can
modify the flags of another, completely unrelated, switchdev VLAN
object! (a VLAN that is PVID will invalidate the PVID flag from whatever
other VLAN had previously been offloaded with switchdev and had that
flag. Yet switchdev never notifies about that change, drivers are
supposed to guess).

Nonetheless, having a VLAN range in the API makes error handling look
scarier than it really is - unwinding on errors and all of that.
When in reality, no one really calls this API with more than one VLAN.
It is all unnecessary complexity.

And despite appearing pretentious (two-phase transactional model and
all), the switchdev API is really sloppy because the VLAN addition and
removal operations are not paired with one another (you can add a VLAN
100 times and delete it just once). The bridge notifies through
switchdev of a VLAN addition not only when the flags of an existing VLAN
change, but also when nothing changes. There are switchdev drivers out
there who don't like adding a VLAN that has already been added, and
those checks don't really belong at driver level. But the fact that the
API contains ranges is yet another factor that prevents this from being
addressed in the future.

Of the existing switchdev pieces of hardware, it appears that only
Mellanox Spectrum supports offloading more than one VLAN at a time,
through mlxsw_sp_port_vlan_set. I have kept that code internal to the
driver, because there is some more bookkeeping that makes use of it, but
I deleted it from the switchdev API. But since the switchdev support for
ranges has already been de facto deleted by a Mellanox employee and
nobody noticed for 4 years, I'm going to assume it's not a biggie.

RTL8168dp is ancient anyway, and I haven't seen any trace of its early
version 27 yet. This chip versions needs quite some special handling,
therefore it would facilitate driver maintenance if support for it
could be dropped. For now just disable detection of this chip version.
If nobody complains we can remove support for it in the near future.

====================
MPTCP: Add MP_PRIO support and rework local address IDs

Patches 1 and 2 rework the assignment of local address IDs to allow them
to be assigned by a userspace path manager, and add corresponding self
tests.

Patches 2-8 add the ability to change subflow priority after a subflow
has been established. Each subflow in a MPTCP connection has a priority
level: "regular" or "backup". Data should only be sent on backup
subflows if no regular subflows are available. The priority level can be
set when the subflow connection is established (as was already
implemented), or during the life of the connection by sending MP_PRIO in
the TCP options (as added here). Self tests are included.

object is in TYPE_PHY (aka the PCS/PHY etc link status is managed by
Linux instead of the firmware). The check is thus unnecessary because
the code path that reaches the .mac_link_up() callback is only with
TYPE_PHY dpmac objects.

Ioana Ciornei 47325da28e dpaa2-eth: retry the probe when the MAC is not yet discovered on the bus
The fsl_mc_get_endpoint() function now returns -EPROBE_DEFER when the
dpmac device was not yet discovered by the fsl-mc bus. When this
happens, pass the error code up so that we can retry the probe at a
later time.

Ioana Ciornei ef57e6c9f7 bus: fsl-mc: return -EPROBE_DEFER when a device is not yet discovered
The fsl_mc_get_endpoint() should return a pointer to the connected
fsl_mc device, if there is one. By interrogating the MC firmware, we
know if there is an endpoint or not so when the endpoint device is
actually searched on the fsl-mc bus and not found we are hitting the
case in which the device has not been yet discovered by the bus.

Return -EPROBE_DEFER so that callers can differentiate this case.

Ioana Ciornei d87e606373 dpaa2-mac: export MAC counters even when in TYPE_FIXED
If the network interface object is connected to a MAC of TYPE_FIXED, the
link status management is handled exclusively by the firmware. This does
not mean that the driver cannot access the MAC counters and export them
in ethtool.

For this to happen, we open the attached dpmac device and keep a pointer
to it in priv->mac. Because of this, all the checks in the driver of the
following form 'if (priv->mac)' have to be updated to actually check
the dpmac attribute and not rely on the presence of a non-NULL value.

Split up the initialization phase of the dpmac object from actually

dpmac which has link management handled by the firmware we are still

Stub functions are defined for SSR notifier registration in case
QCOM_RPROC_COMMON is not configured.  As a result, code that uses
these functions can link successfully even if the common remoteproc

Code that registers an SSR notifier function likely needs the
types defined in "qcom_rproc.h", but those are only exposed if
QCOM_RPROC_COMMON is enabled.

Rearrange the conditional definition so the qcom_ssr_notify_data
structure and qcom_ssr_notify_type enumerated type are defined
whether or not QCOM_RPROC_COMMON is enabled.

as part of the assignment.

Linus Torvalds ef0ba05538 poll: fix performance regression due to out-of-line __put_user()
The kernel test robot reported a -5.8% performance regression on the
"poll2" test of will-it-scale, and bisected it to commit d55564cfc2
("x86: Make __put_user() generate an out-of-line call").

I didn't expect an out-of-line __put_user() to matter, because no normal
core code should use that non-checking legacy version of user access any
more.  But I had overlooked the very odd poll() usage, which does a
__put_user() to update the 'revents' values of the poll array.

Now, Al Viro correctly points out that instead of updating just the
'revents' field, it would be much simpler to just copy the _whole_
pollfd entry, and then we could just use "copy_to_user()" on the whole
array of entries, the same way we use "copy_from_user()" a few lines
earlier to get the original values.

But that is not what we've traditionally done, and I worry that threaded
applications might be concurrently modifying the other fields of the
pollfd array.  So while Al's suggestion is simpler - and perhaps worth
trying in the future - this instead keeps the "just update revents"
model.

To fix the performance regression, use the modern "unsafe_put_user()"
instead of __put_user(), with the proper "user_write_access_begin()"
guarding in place. This improves code generation enormously.

Petr Mladek a91bd6223e Revert "init/console: Use ttynull as a fallback when there is no console"
This reverts commit 757055ae8d.

The commit caused that ttynull was used as the default console
on several systems[1][2][3]. As a result, the console was
blank even when a better alternative existed.

It happened when there was no console configured
on the command line and ttynull_init() was the first initcall
calling register_console().

Or it happened when /dev/ did not exist when console_on_rootfs()
was called. It was not able to open /dev/console even though
a console driver was registered. It tried to add ttynull console
but it obviously did not help. But ttynull became the preferred
console and was used by /dev/console when it was available later.

The commit tried to fix a historical problem that have been there
for ages. The primary motivation was the commit 3cffa06aee
("printk/console: Allow to disable console output by using console=""
 or console=null"). It provided a clean solution for a workaround
 that was widely used and worked only by chance.

This revert causes that the console="" or console=null command line
options will again work only by chance. These options will cause that
a particular console will be preferred and the default (tty) ones
will not get enabled. There will be no console registered at
all. As a result there won't be stdin, stdout, and stderr for
the init process. But it worked exactly this way even before.

The proper solution has to fulfill many conditions:

  + Register ttynull only when explicitly required or as
    the ultimate fallback.

  + ttynull should get associated with /dev/console but it must
    not become preferred console when used as a fallback.
    Especially, it must still be possible to replace it
    by a better console later.

Such a change requires clean up of the register_console() code.
Otherwise, it would be even harder to follow. Especially, the use
of has_preferred_console and CON_CONSDEV flag is tricky. The clean
up is risky. The ordering of consoles is not well defined. And
any changes tend to break existing user settings.

Do the revert at the least risky solution for now.
