Jeff Kirsher says:
====================
This series contains updates to i40e only.
Greg provides fixes for the NPAR transmit scheduler where the driver
initialization caused the BW configurations to not take effect, so use
a BW configuration read and write back to "kick" the transmit scheduler
into action. Fixes the ethtool offline test, where we were not actually
taking the device offline before doing the testing.
Matt modifies the get and set LED functions so they ignore activity LEDs
since we are required to blink the link LEDs only.
Neerav provides a workaround for whenever a DCBX configuration is changed,
where the firmware doe not set the operational status bit of the
application TLV status as returned from the "Get CEE DCBX Oper Cfg" admin
queue command. So remove the check for the operational and sync bits of
the application TLV status until a firmware fix is provided.
Shannon changes the driver to grab the NVM devstarter version and not
the image version, since it is the more useful version and is what
should be displayed. Moves the IRQ tracking setup and tear down into
the same routines that do the IRQ setup and tear down. This keeps
like activities together and allows us to track exactly the number
of vectors reserved from the OS, which may be fewer than are available
from the hardware.
Jesse provides a fix to use a more portable sign extension by replacing
0xffff.... with ~(u64)0 or ~(u32)0. Also fixes XPS mask when resetting,
where the driver would accidentally clear the XPS mask for all queues
back to 0. This caused higher CPU utilization and had some other
performance impacts for transmit tests. Cleans up some whitespace
formatting.
Catherine provides a fix where some firmware versions are incorrectly
reporting a breakout cable as PHY type 0x3 when it should be 0x16
(I40E_PHY_TYPE_10GBASE_SFPP_CU). Adds the 10G and 40G AOC PHY types
to the case statement in get_media_type and ethtool get_settings so
that the correct information gets reported back to the user.
Anjali provides IOREMAP changes for future device support, where we
do not want to map the whole CSR space since some of it is mapped by
other drivers with different mapping methods.
Mitch changes the i40e driver to not "spam" the system log with
messages about VF VSI when VFs are created and when they are reset to
reduce user annoyance.

To allow for better scalability on systems with large core counts, we

This extends the design in commit 958501163d ("bridge: Add support for
IEEE 802.11 Proxy ARP") with optional set of rules that are needed to
meet the IEEE 802.11 and Hotspot 2.0 requirements for ProxyARP. The
previously added BR_PROXYARP behavior is left as-is and a new
BR_PROXYARP_WIFI alternative is added so that this behavior can be
configured from user space when required.
In addition, this enables proxyarp functionality for unicast ARP
requests for both BR_PROXYARP and BR_PROXYARP_WIFI since it is possible
to use unicast as well as broadcast for these frames.
The key differences in functionality:
BR_PROXYARP:
- uses the flag on the bridge port on which the request frame was
received to determine whether to reply
- block bridge port flooding completely on ports that enable proxy ARP
BR_PROXYARP_WIFI:
- uses the flag on the bridge port to which the target device of the
request belongs
- block bridge port flooding selectively based on whether the proxyarp
functionality replied

1. Use c_index and ring->c_index to determine how many TxCBs/TxBDs are

- c_index = the current value of TDMA_CONS_INDEX
- TDMA_CONS_INDEX is HW-incremented and auto-wraparound (0x0-0xFFFF)
- ring->c_index = __bcmgenet_tx_reclaim() cleaned up to this point on
the previous invocation
2. Add bcmgenet_tx_ring->clean_ptr
- index of the next TxCB to be cleaned
- incremented as TxCBs/TxBDs are processed
- value always in range [ring->cb_ptr, ring->end_ptr]
3. Fix incrementing of dev->stats.tx_packets
- should be incremented only when tx_cb_ptr->skb != NULL
These changes simplify __bcmgenet_tx_reclaim(). Furthermore, Tx ring size
can now be any value.
With the old code, Tx ring size had to be a power-of-2:
num_tx_bds = ring->size;
c_index &= (num_tx_bds - 1);

This patch series is meant to mostly just clean up the fib_trie to prepare

I have also updated it from doing a mask to just doing a compare as I have
found that seems to provide more options to the compiler as I have seen it
turn this into a shift of the value and test under some circumstances.
In addition I addressed one minor issue in which we kept computing the key
^ n->key when checking the fib aliases. I pulled the xor out of the loop
in order to reduce the number of memory reads in the lookup. As a result
we should save a couple cycles since the xor is only done once much earlier

Basic MPLS support take 2
On top of my two pending neighbour table prep patches here is the mpls

an interface goes down. Additionally the addition of RTA_LLGATEWAY
has been replaced with the addtion of RTA_VIA. RTA_VIA being an
attribute that includes the address family as well as the address
of the next hop.
MPLS is at it's heart simple and I have endeavoured to maintain that
simplicity in my implemenation.
This is an implementation of a RFC3032 forwarding engine, and basic MPLS
egress logic. Which should make linux sufficient to be a mpls
forwarding node or to be a LSA (Label Switched Router) as it says in all
of the MPLS documents. The ingress support will follow but it deserves

For now reserved labels are handled automatically and userspace

This change adds two new netlink routing attributes:

RTA_VIA specifies the specifies the next machine to send a packet to
like RTA_GATEWAY. RTA_VIA differs from RTA_GATEWAY in that it
includes the address family of the address of the next machine to send
a packet to. Currently the MPLS code supports addresses in AF_INET,
AF_INET6 and AF_PACKET. For AF_INET and AF_INET6 the destination mac
address is acquired from the neighbour table. For AF_PACKET the
destination mac_address is specified in the netlink configuration.
I think raw destination mac address support with the family AF_PACKET
will prove useful. There is MPLS-TP which is defined to operate
on machines that do not support internet packets of any flavor. Further
seem to be corner cases where it can be useful. At this point
I don't care much either way.
RTA_NEWDST specifies the destination address to forward the packet
with. MPLS typically changes it's destination address at every hop.
For a swap operation RTA_NEWDST is specified with a length of one label.
For a push operation RTA_NEWDST is specified with two or more labels.
For a pop operation RTA_NEWDST is not specified or equivalently an emtpy
RTAN_NEWDST is specified.
Those new netlink attributes are used to implement handling of rt-netlink
RTM_NEWROUTE, RTM_DELROUTE, and RTM_GETROUTE messages, to maintain the
MPLS label table.
rtm_to_route_config parses a netlink RTM_NEWROUTE or RTM_DELROUTE message,
verify no unhandled attributes or unhandled values are present and sets
up the data structures for mpls_route_add and mpls_route_del.
I did my best to match up with the existing conventions with the caveats
that MPLS addresses are all destination-specific-addresses, and so
don't properly have a scope.
