We're about to add IPv6 notifications in the FIB notification chain, but
the driver currently doesn't support these, so ignore them.

The FIB notification chain is currently soley used by IPv4 code.
However, we're going to introduce IPv6 FIB offload support, which
requires these notification as well.
As explained in commit c3852ef7f2f8 ("ipv4: fib: Replay events when
registering FIB notifier"), upon registration to the chain, the callee
receives a full dump of the FIB tables and rules by traversing all the
net namespaces. The integrity of the dump is ensured by a per-namespace
sequence counter that is incremented whenever a change to the tables or
rules occurs.
In order to allow more address families to use the chain, each family is
expected to register its fib_notifier_ops in its pernet init. These
operations allow the common code to read the family's sequence counter
as well as dump its tables and rules in the given net namespace.
Additionally, a 'family' parameter is added to sent notifications, so
that listeners could distinguish between the different families.
Implement the common code that allows listeners to register to the chain
and for address families to register their fib_notifier_ops. Subsequent
patches will implement these operations in IPv6.
In the future, ipmr and ip6mr will be extended to provide these
notifications as well.

net: mvpp2: add TX interrupts support
So far, the mvpp2 driver was using an hrtimer to handle TX
completion. This patch series adds support for using TX interrupts
(for each CPU) on PPv2.2, the variant of the IP used on Marvell Armada
7K/8K.
Dave: this version can be applied right away, it no longer depends on
Antoine's patch series. Antoine series had some comments, so he will
have to respin later on. Therefore, let's merge this smaller patch
series first.
Changes since v1:
- Rebased on top of net-next, instead of on top of Antoine's series.
- Removed the Device Tree patch, as it shouldn't go through the net
tree.

The PPv2.2 unit has several interrupts used for TX completion
notification. This commit updates the Device Tree binding describing
this HW block to mention such interrupts.
While at it, we update the example to use a recent Device Tree
example, that uses interrupts going through the ICU, and not to the
GIC directly.

This commit adds the support for two related features:
- Support for TX interrupts, with one interrupt for each CPU
- Support for different RX queue distribution modes
MVPP2_QDIST_SINGLE_MODE where a single interrupt, shared by all
CPUs, receives the RX events, and MVPP2_QDIST_MULTI_MODE, where the
per-CPU interrupts used for TX events are also used for RX events.
Since additional interrupts are needed, an update to the Device Tree
binding is needed. However, backward compatibility is preserved with
the old Device Tree binding, by gracefully degrading to the original
behavior, with only one RX interrupt, and TX completion being handled
by an hrtimer.

In preparation to the introduction of TX interrupts and improved RX
queue distribution, this commit introduces the concept of "queue
vector". A queue vector represents a number of RX and/or TX queues,
and an associated NAPI instance and interrupt.
This commit currently only creates a single queue_vector, so there are
no changes in behavior, but it paves the way for additional
queue_vector in the next commits.

The PPv2.2 IP has a concept of "software thread", with all registers
of the PPv2.2 mapped 8 times, for concurrent accesses by 8 "software
threads". In addition, interrupts on RX queues are associated to such
"software thread".
For most cases, we map a "software thread" to the more conventional
concept of CPU, but we will soon have one exception: we will have a
model where we have one TX interrupt per CPU (each using one software
thread), and all RX events mapped to another software thread
(associated to another interrupt).
In preparation for this change, it makes sense to change the naming
from MVPP2_MAX_CPUS to MVPP2_MAX_THREADS, and plan for 8 software
threads instead of 4 currently.

Currently, the global variables rxq_number and txq_number hold the
number of per-port TXQs and RXQs. Until now, such numbers were
constant regardless of the driver configuration. As we are going to
introduce different modes for TX and RX queues, these numbers will
depend on the configuration (PPv2.1 vs. PPv2.2, exact queue
distribution logic).
Therefore, as a preparation, we move the number of RXQs and TXQs in
the 'struct mvpp2_port' structure, next to the RXQs and TXQs
descriptor arrays.
For now, they remain initialized to the same default values as
rxq_number/txq_number used to be initialized, but this will change in
future commits.
The only non-mechanical change in this patch is that the check to
verify hardware constraints on the number of RXQs and TXQs is moved
from mvpp2_probe() to mvpp2_port_probe(), since it's now in
mvpp2_port_probe() that we initialize the per-port count of RXQ and
TXQ.

The RX queue group allocation is anyway re-done later in

Hisilicon Network Subsystem 3 Ethernet Driver
This patch-set contains the support of the HNS3 (Hisilicon Network Subsystem 3)
Ethernet driver for hip08 family of SoCs and future upcoming SoCs.
Hisilicon's new hip08 SoCs have integrated ethernet based on PCI Express and
hence there was a need of new driver over the previous HNS driver which is
already part of the Linux mainline. This new driver is NOT backward
compatible with HNS.
This current driver is meant to control the Physical Function and there would
soon be a support of a separate driver for Virtual Function once this base PF
driver has been accepted. Also, this driver is the ongoing development work and
HNS3 Ethernet driver would be incrementally enhanced with more new features.

All this kind of typedef's using should be removed. This patchset is the

ipv4: fib: Provide per-nexthop offload indication
Ido says:
Offload indication for IPv4 routes is currently set in the FIB info's
flags. When multipath routes are employed, this can lead to a route being
marked as offloaded although only one of its nexthops is actually
offloaded.
Instead, this patchset aims to proivde a higher resolution for the offload
indication and report it on a per-nexthop basis.
Example output from patched iproute:
$ ip route show 192.168.200.0/24
192.168.200.0/24
nexthop via 192.168.100.2 dev enp3s0np7 weight 1 offload
nexthop via 192.168.101.3 dev enp3s0np8 weight 1
And once the second gateway is resolved:
$ ip route show 192.168.200.0/24
192.168.200.0/24
nexthop via 192.168.100.2 dev enp3s0np7 weight 1 offload
nexthop via 192.168.101.3 dev enp3s0np8 weight 1 offload
First patch teaches the kernel to look for the offload indication in the
nexthop flags. Patches 2-5 adjust current capable drivers to provide
offload indication on a per-nexthop basis. Last patch removes no longer
used functions to set offload indication in the FIB info's flags.
