As noted in the original commit 685343fc3b ("net: add

... when the kernel has given the interface a name using global
device enumeration based on order of discovery (ethX, wlanY, etc)
... are labelled NET_NAME_ENUM.
That describes this case, so set the default for the devices here to
NET_NAME_ENUM. Current popular network setup tools like systemd use
this only to warn if you're setting static settings on interfaces that
might change, so it is expected this only leads to better user
information, but not changing of interfaces, etc.

Now that sja1105 has gained the ability to perform traffic termination

there is no reason to keep this code in the receive path of the network

of_get_mac_address() returns a "const void*" pointer to a MAC address.
Lately, support to fetch the MAC address by an NVMEM provider was added.
But this will only work with platform devices. It will not work with
PCI devices (e.g. of an integrated root complex) and esp. not with DSA
ports.
There is an of_* variant of the nvmem binding which works without
devices. The returned data of a nvmem_cell_read() has to be freed after
use. On the other hand the return of_get_mac_address() points to some
static data without a lifetime. The trick for now, was to allocate a
device resource managed buffer which is then returned. This will only
work if we have an actual device.
Change it, so that the caller of of_get_mac_address() has to supply a
buffer where the MAC address is written to. Unfortunately, this will
touch all drivers which use the of_get_mac_address().
Usually the code looks like:
const char *addr;
addr = of_get_mac_address(np);
if (!IS_ERR(addr))
ether_addr_copy(ndev->dev_addr, addr);
This can then be simply rewritten as:
of_get_mac_address(np, ndev->dev_addr);
Sometimes is_valid_ether_addr() is used to test the MAC address.
of_get_mac_address() already makes sure, it just returns a valid MAC
address. Thus we can just test its return code. But we have to be
careful if there are still other sources for the MAC address before the
of_get_mac_address(). In this case we have to keep the
is_valid_ether_addr() call.
The following coccinelle patch was used to convert common cases to the
new style. Afterwards, I've manually gone over the drivers and fixed the
return code variable: either used a new one or if one was already
available use that. Mansour Moufid, thanks for that coccinelle patch!

Frames get processed by DSA and redirected to switch port net devices
based on the ETH_P_XDSA multiplexed packet_type handler found by the
network stack when calling eth_type_trans().
The running assumption is that once the DSA .rcv function is called, DSA
is always able to decode the switch tag in order to change the skb->dev
from its master.
However there are tagging protocols (such as the new DSA_TAG_PROTO_SJA1105,
user of DSA_TAG_PROTO_8021Q) where this assumption is not completely
true, since switch tagging piggybacks on the absence of a vlan_filtering
bridge. Moreover, management traffic (BPDU, PTP) for this switch doesn't
rely on switch tagging, but on a different mechanism. So it would make
sense to at least be able to terminate that.
Having DSA receive traffic it can't decode would put it in an impossible
situation: the eth_type_trans() function would invoke the DSA .rcv(),
which could not change skb->dev, then eth_type_trans() would be invoked
again, which again would call the DSA .rcv, and the packet would never
be able to exit the DSA filter and would spiral in a loop until the
whole system dies.
This happens because eth_type_trans() doesn't actually look at the skb
(so as to identify a potential tag) when it deems it as being
ETH_P_XDSA. It just checks whether skb->dev has a DSA private pointer
installed (therefore it's a DSA master) and that there exists a .rcv
callback (everybody except DSA_TAG_PROTO_NONE has that). This is
understandable as there are many switch tags out there, and exhaustively
checking for all of them is far from ideal.
The solution lies in introducing a filtering function for each tagging
protocol. In the absence of a filtering function, all traffic is passed
to the .rcv DSA callback. The tagging protocol should see the filtering
function as a pre-validation that it can decode the incoming skb. The
traffic that doesn't match the filter will bypass the DSA .rcv callback
and be left on the master netdevice, which wasn't previously possible.

When the core networking needs to detect the transport offset in a given

storage.
This patch introduces a smaller keys store, rework the basic flow dissect
helper to use it, and apply this new helper where possible - namely in
skb_probe_transport_header(). The used flow dissector data structures
are renamed to match more closely the new role.
The above gives ~50% performance improvement in micro benchmarking around
skb_probe_transport_header() and ~30% around eth_get_headlen(), mostly due
to the smaller memset. Small, but measurable improvement is measured also
in macro benchmarking.

The stack must not pass packets to device drivers that are shorter
than the minimum link layer header length.
Previously, packet sockets would drop packets smaller than or equal
to dev->hard_header_len, but this has false positives. Zero length
payload is used over Ethernet. Other link layer protocols support
variable length headers. Support for validation of these protocols
removed the min length check for all protocols.
Introduce an explicit dev->min_header_len parameter and drop all
packets below this value. Initially, set it to non-zero only for
Ethernet and loopback. Other protocols can follow in a patch to
net-next.

The default TX queue length of Ethernet devices have been a magic

Looking back in historical trees[1][2] the value used to be 100,
with the same comment "Ethernet wants good queues". The commit[3]
that changed this from 100 to 1000 didn't describe why, but from
conversations with Robert Olsson it seems that it was changed
when Ethernet devices went from 100Mbit/s to 1Gbit/s, because the
link speed increased x10 the queue size were also adjusted. This
value later caused much heartache for the bufferbloat community.
This patch merely moves the value into a defined constant.

Currently, GRO can do unlimited recursion through the gro_receive
handlers. This was fixed for tunneling protocols by limiting tunnel GRO
to one level with encap_mark, but both VLAN and TEB still have this
problem. Thus, the kernel is vulnerable to a stack overflow, if we
receive a packet composed entirely of VLAN headers.
This patch adds a recursion counter to the GRO layer to prevent stack
overflow. When a gro_receive function hits the recursion limit, GRO is
aborted for this skb and it is processed normally. This recursion
counter is put in the GRO CB, but could be turned into a percpu counter
if we run out of space in the CB.

Of note, dvb_net.c actually had dev->mtu = 4096, while using

couldn't set it above 1500 anymore. It's now getting dev->max_mtu also set

This patch adds full IPv6 addresses into flow_keys and uses them as
input to the flow hash function. The implementation supports either
IPv4 or IPv6 addresses in a union, and selector is used to determine
how may words to input to jhash2.
We also add flow_get_u32_dst and flow_get_u32_src functions which are
used to get a u32 representation of the source and destination
addresses. For IPv6, ipv6_addr_hash is called. These functions retain
getting the legacy values of src and dst in flow_keys.
With this patch, Ethertype and IP protocol are now included in the
flow hash input.

When we scan a packet for GRO processing, we want to see the most
common packet types in the front of the offload_base list.
So add a priority field so we can handle this properly.
IPv4/IPv6 get the highest priority with the implicit zero priority
field.
Next comes ethernet with a priority of 10, and then we have the MPLS
types with a priority of 15.
