Veaceslav Falico d4471f5e23 bonding: convert bond_3ad.c to use netdev_printk instead of pr_
Several functions left out cause we might not have at that time a valid
bond/slave/port.

Also, converted severa pr_ratelimited into net_ratelimited.

Nikolay Aleksandrov ff11d8b27d bonding: fix bond_option_mode_set warning
During the conversion to "static" functions this one got left out, only its
prototype was converted, thus resulting in:
drivers/net/bonding//bond_options.c:674:5: warning: symbol
'bond_option_mode_set' was not declared. Should it be static?

Fix it by making it static and also break the line in two as it was too
long.

Veaceslav Falico f54424412b bonding: permit enslaving interfaces without set_mac support
Currently we exit if the slave isn't the first slave, doesn't support mac
address setting and fail_over_mac isn't FOM_ACTIVE. It's wrong because we
only require ndo_set_mac_address in case bonding is in active-backup mode
and FOM isn't FOM_ACTIVE.

To fix this - only exit with an error if we're in a/b mode and have
fail_over_mac != FOM_ACTIVE.

Also, maintain current behaviour on the first slave (forcibly change fom to
FOM_ACTIVE) to not break anyone's configuration.

If using a demand-dialled PPP unit for a PPP multilink master, the pppd

Willem de Bruijn 26c4fdb052 net-timestamp: document deprecated syststamp
The SO_TIMESTAMPING API defines option SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HW.
This feature is deprecated. It should not be implemented by new
device drivers. Existing drivers do not implement it, either --
with one exception.

Driver developers are encouraged to expose the NIC hw clock as a
PTP HW clock source, instead, and synchronize system time to the
HW source.

The control flag cannot be removed due to being part of the ABI, nor
can the structure scm_timestamping that is returned. Due to the one
legacy driver, the internal datapath and structure are not removed.

This patch only clearly marks the interface as deprecated. Device
drivers should always return a syststamp value of zero.

Willem de Bruijn 11878b40ed net-timestamp: SOCK_RAW and PING timestamping
Add SO_TIMESTAMPING to sockets of type PF_INET[6]/SOCK_RAW:

Add the necessary sock_tx_timestamp calls to the datapath for RAW
sockets (ping sockets already had these calls).

Fix the IP output path to pass the timestamp flags on the first
fragment also for these sockets. The existing code relies on
transhdrlen != 0 to indicate a first fragment. For these sockets,
that assumption does not hold.

This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77221

Hariprasad Shenai 7730b4c7e3 cxgb4/iw_cxgb4: work request logging feature
This commit enhances the iwarp driver to optionally keep a log of rdma
work request timining data for kernel mode QPs.  If iw_cxgb4 module option
c4iw_wr_log is set to non-zero, each work request is tracked and timing
data maintained in a rolling log that is 4096 entries deep by default.
Module option c4iw_wr_log_size_order allows specifing a log2 size to use
instead of the default order of 12 (4096 entries). Both module options
are read-only and must be passed in at module load time to set them. IE:

modprobe iw_cxgb4 c4iw_wr_log=1 c4iw_wr_log_size_order=10

The timing data is viewable via the iw_cxgb4 debugfs file "wr_log".
Writing anything to this file will clear all the timing data.
Data tracked includes:

- The host time when the work request was posted, just before ringing
the doorbell.  The host time when the completion was polled by the
application.  This is also the time the log entry is created.  The delta
of these two times is the amount of time took processing the work request.

- The qid of the EQ used to post the work request.

- The work request opcode.

- The cqe wr_id field.  For sq completions requests this is the swsqe
index.  For recv completions this is the MSN of the ingress SEND.
This value can be used to match log entries from this log with firmware
flowc event entries.

- The sge timestamp value just before ringing the doorbell when
posting,  the sge timestamp value just after polling the completion,
and CQE.timestamp field from the completion itself.  With these three
timestamps we can track the latency from post to poll, and the amount
of time the completion resided in the CQ before being reaped by the
application.  With debug firmware, the sge timestamp is also logged by
firmware in its flowc history so that we can compute the latency from
posting the work request until the firmware sees it.

Hariprasad Shenai 4c2c576322 cxgb4/iw_cxgb4: use firmware ord/ird resource limits
Advertise a larger max read queue depth for qps, and gather the resource limits
from fw and use them to avoid exhaustinq all the resources.

Design:

cxgb4:

Obtain the max_ordird_qp and max_ird_adapter device params from FW
at init time and pass them up to the ULDs when they attach.  If these
parameters are not available, due to older firmware, then hard-code
the values based on the known values for older firmware.
iw_cxgb4:

Fix the c4iw_query_device() to report these correct values based on
adapter parameters.  ibv_query_device() will always return:

max_qp_rd_atom = max_qp_init_rd_atom = min(module_max, max_ordird_qp)
max_res_rd_atom = max_ird_adapter

Bump up the per qp max module option to 32, allowing it to be increased
by the user up to the device max of max_ordird_qp.  32 seems to be
sufficient to maximize throughput for streaming read benchmarks.

Fail connection setup if the negotiated IRD exhausts the available
adapter ird resources.  So the driver will track the amount of ird
resource in use and not send an RI_WR/INIT to FW that would reduce the
available ird resources below zero.

Since Yuchung's 9b44190dc1 (tcp: refactor F-RTO), tcp_enter_cwr is always
called with set_ssthresh = 1. Thus, we can remove this argument from
tcp_enter_cwr. Further, as we remove this one, tcp_init_cwnd_reduction
is then always called with set_ssthresh = true, and so we can get rid of
this argument as well.

Tom Gundersen 685343fc3b net: add name_assign_type netdev attribute
Based on a patch by David Herrmann.

The name_assign_type attribute gives hints where the interface name of a
given net-device comes from. These values are currently defined:
  NET_NAME_ENUM:
    The ifname is provided by the kernel with an enumerated
    suffix, typically based on order of discovery. Names may
    be reused and unpredictable.
  NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE:
    The ifname has been assigned by the kernel in a predictable way
    that is guaranteed to avoid reuse and always be the same for a
    given device. Examples include statically created devices like
    the loopback device and names deduced from hardware properties
    (including being given explicitly by the firmware). Names
    depending on the order of discovery, or in any other way on the
    existence of other devices, must not be marked as PREDICTABLE.
  NET_NAME_USER:
    The ifname was provided by user-space during net-device setup.
  NET_NAME_RENAMED:
    The net-device has been renamed from userspace. Once this type is set,
    it cannot change again.
  NET_NAME_UNKNOWN:
    This is an internal placeholder to indicate that we yet haven't yet
    categorized the name. It will not be exposed to userspace, rather
    -EINVAL is returned.

The aim of these patches is to improve user-space renaming of interfaces. As
a general rule, userspace must rename interfaces to guarantee that names stay
the same every time a given piece of hardware appears (at boot, or when
attaching it). However, there are several situations where userspace should
not perform the renaming, and that depends on both the policy of the local
admin, but crucially also on the nature of the current interface name.

If an interface was created in repsonse to a userspace request, and userspace
already provided a name, we most probably want to leave that name alone. The
main instance of this is wifi-P2P devices created over nl80211, which currently
have a long-standing bug where they are getting renamed by udev. We label such
names NET_NAME_USER.

If an interface, unbeknown to us, has already been renamed from userspace, we
most probably want to leave also that alone. This will typically happen when
third-party plugins (for instance to udev, but the interface is generic so could
be from anywhere) renames the interface without informing udev about it. A
typical situation is when you switch root from an installer or an initrd to the
real system and the new instance of udev does not know what happened before
the switch. These types of problems have caused repeated issues in the past. To
solve this, once an interface has been renamed, its name is labelled
NET_NAME_RENAMED.

In many cases, the kernel is actually able to name interfaces in such a
way that there is no need for userspace to rename them. This is the case when
the enumeration order of devices, or in fact any other (non-parent) device on
the system, can not influence the name of the interface. Examples include
statically created devices, or any naming schemes based on hardware properties
of the interface. In this case the admin may prefer to use the kernel-provided
names, and to make that possible we label such names NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE.
We want the kernel to have tho possibilty of performing predictable interface
naming itself (and exposing to userspace that it has), as the information
necessary for a proper naming scheme for a certain class of devices may not
be exposed to userspace.

The case where renaming is almost certainly desired, is when the kernel has
given the interface a name using global device enumeration based on order of
discovery (ethX, wlanY, etc). These naming schemes are labelled NET_NAME_ENUM.

Lastly, a fallback is left as NET_NAME_UNKNOWN, to indicate that a driver has
not yet been ported. This is mostly useful as a transitionary measure, allowing
us to label the various naming schemes bit by bit.

Nikita Edward Baruzdin 5b853ec349 can: sja1000: Add support for CAN_CTRLMODE_PRESUME_ACK
SJA1000 has a self test mode (STM) which does not require
acknowledgement for the successful message transmission. In this mode a
node test is possible without any other active node on the bus.

This patch adds a possibility to set STM for SJA1000 controller through
specifying the corresponding CAN_CTRLMODE_PRESUME_ACK netlink flag.

Nikita Edward Baruzdin dcf9e15267 can: sja1000: Add support for CAN_CTRLMODE_LOOPBACK
This adds support for hardware loopback in SJA1000 by utilising its self
reception request (SRR) feature. Upon SRR the message is transmitted and
received simultaneously, meaning you can't have hardware loopback
without actually sending a message to the CAN bus in case of SJA1000.

Nikita Edward Baruzdin 4b9e1bab12 can: netlink: Add CAN_CTRLMODE_PRESUME_ACK flag
Most CAN controllers have a support for ignoring ACK absence. Some of
them refer to this feature as a self test mode (e. g. SJA1000) and some
include it as a part of a loopback mode (e. g. MCP2510).

Setting the introduced flag via netlink should make CAN controller
perform a successful transmission, even if there is no acknowledgement
(dominant ACK bit) received.
