All the supported firmwares support this API.
This includes removing dwell per band, as band is no longer a factor
in calculating the dwell. Only basic dwell is used and FW will calculate
the actual dwell time.

The 'flags' field really has been reserved in the firmware API for a
very long time, probably since 4965. As a consequence, the field is
always 0 and checking for a IWL_CMD_FAILED_MSK flag makes no sense.
Rename the field to 'reserved', get rid of IWL_CMD_FAILED_MSK and
all the code for it.

In iwlmvm firmwares, the Byte count written in the scheduler
byte count table is in DWORDs and not in bytes.
We should check that this value fits in the 12 bits and
the value can be either in bits of in DWORD or bytes
depending on the firmware. Check the value after the
translation to DWORDs is done (if needed).

In a few places, we were disabling interrupts but didn't
make sure that the interrupt handler has finished running.
Add calls to synchronize_irq() to ensure we finish handling
the interrupts before we free resources or other things that
could lead to a crash if the interrupt were to be handled
later.

This makes the logging a little less useful, but as they're mostly

This driver currently has some very confusing ADD_STA response handling
that runs asynchronously in the background for all of the commands, but
is only really necessary for synchronous ones (the really asynchronous
ones can only be done for already existing stations), and for the sync
ones it actually waits for the RX handler to return a status code.
Rework this to keep the debug printing in the handler, but do the code
that's supposed to have an effect only for sync commands in the command
sending function.

The current key offset assignment algorithm always uses the lowest
unused key offset, which will potentially lead to issues when the
firmware will change to take the key material for TX from the key
table rather than from the TX command.
In order to avoid those issues (and avoid forgetting about them)
change the key offset allocation algorithm now to avoid reusing key
offsets quickly.
The new algorithm always picks as the next offset the least recently
freed offset, i.e. the offset that has been unused for the longest
amount of time. This is implemented by having a generation counter
for each key offset that is incremented every time a key is deleted,
except for the one that's deleted, which is reset to zero. Thus the
highest counter is the key that's been unused longest.

During NIC initialization shared HW is reset and this disables the
scheduler. Some HW platforms do not activate the scheduler after it.
Consequently all HCMD sent by the driver stay at the queues which cause
to queue stuck.
Set the scheduler to work on auto active mode so it would be activated upon
change over one of the queues' write pointer.

There's no need to forward RX MPDUs to notification wait tests, nor

In scenarios where we haven't converged yet to a specific modulation
and rate it could be better to report to userspace the last tx rate
based on the STA capabilities and RSSI. This is important as sometimes
userspace displays the last tx rate as the link speed.
This avoids being presented with low legacy rates when rs just begins
its search or after an idle period in which it resets itself.

Current implementation of descriptor init procedure only takes
care about setting/clearing ownership flag in "des0"/"des1"
fields while it is perfectly possible to get unexpected bits
set because of the following factors:
[1] On driver probe underlying memory allocated with
dma_alloc_coherent() might not be zeroed and so
it will be filled with garbage.
[2] During driver operation some bits could be set by SD/MMC
controller (for example error flags etc).
And unexpected and/or randomly set flags in "des0"/"des1"
fields may lead to unpredictable behavior of GMAC DMA block.
This change addresses both items above with:
[1] Use of dma_zalloc_coherent() instead of simple
dma_alloc_coherent() to make sure allocated memory is
zeroed. That shouldn't affect performance because
this allocation only happens once on driver probe.
[2] Do explicit zeroing of both "des0" and "des1" fields
of all buffer descriptors during initialization of
DMA transfer.
And while at it fixed identation of dma_free_coherent()
counterpart as well.

Andy Gospodarek says:
====================
changes to make ipv4 routing table aware of next-hop link status
This series adds the ability to have the Linux kernel track whether or
not a particular route should be used based on the link-status of the
interface associated with the next-hop.
Before this patch any link-failure on an interface that was serving as a
gateway for some systems could result in those systems being isolated
from the rest of the network as the stack would continue to attempt to
send frames out of an interface that is actually linked-down. When the
kernel is responsible for all forwarding, it should also be responsible
for taking action when the traffic can no longer be forwarded -- there
is no real need to outsource link-monitoring to userspace anymore.
This feature is only enabled with the new per-interface or ipv4 global
sysctls called 'ignore_routes_with_linkdown'.
net.ipv4.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
net.ipv4.conf.lo.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
...
When the above sysctls are set, the kernel will not only report to
userspace that the link is down, but it will also report to userspace
that a route is dead. This will signal to userspace that the route will
not be selected.
With the new sysctls set, the following behavior can be observed
(interface p8p1 is link-down):
default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1
10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15
70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1
80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1 dead linkdown
90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1 dead linkdown
90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2
90.0.0.1 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 src 70.0.0.1
cache
local 80.0.0.1 dev lo src 80.0.0.1
cache <local>
80.0.0.2 via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 src 10.0.5.15
cache
While the route does remain in the table (so it can be modified if
needed rather than being wiped away as it would be if IFF_UP was
cleared), the proper next-hop is chosen automatically when the link is
down. Now interface p8p1 is linked-up:

and the output changes to what one would expect.
If the global or interface sysctl is not set, the following output would
be expected when p8p1 is down:
default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1
10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15
70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1

90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2
If the dead flag does not appear there should be no expectation that the
kernel would skip using this route due to link being down.
v2: Split kernel changes into 2 patches: first to add linkdown flag and
second to add new sysctl settings. Also took suggestion from Alex to
simplify code by only checking sysctl during fib lookup and suggestion
from Scott to add a per-interface sysctl. Added iproute2 patch to
recognize and print linkdown flag.
v3: Code cleanups along with reverse-path checks suggested by Alex and
small fixes related to problems found when multipath was disabled.
v4: Drop binary sysctls
v5: Whitespace and variable declaration fixups suggested by Dave
v6: Style changes noticed by Dave and checkpath suggestions.
v7: Last checkpatch fixup.
Though there were some that preferred not to have a configuration option
and to make this behavior the default when it was discussed in Ottawa
earlier this year since "it was time to do this." I wanted to propose
the config option to preserve the current behavior for those that desire
it. I'll happily remove it if Dave and Linus approve.
An IPv6 implementation is also needed (DECnet too!), but I wanted to
start with the IPv4 implementation to get people comfortable with the
idea before moving forward. If this is accepted the IPv6 implementation
can be posted shortly.
There was also a request for switchdev support for this, but that will
be posted as a followup as switchdev does not currently handle dead
next-hops in a multi-path case and I felt that infra needed to be added
first.
FWIW, we have been running the original version of this series with a
global sysctl and our customers have been happily using a backported
version for IPv4 and IPv6 for >6 months.

This feature is only enabled with the new per-interface or ipv4 global
sysctls called 'ignore_routes_with_linkdown'.
net.ipv4.conf.all.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
net.ipv4.conf.lo.ignore_routes_with_linkdown = 0
...
When the above sysctls are set, will report to userspace that a route is
dead and will no longer resolve to this nexthop when performing a fib
lookup. This will signal to userspace that the route will not be
selected. The signalling of a RTNH_F_DEAD is only passed to userspace
if the sysctl is enabled and link is down. This was done as without it
the netlink listeners would have no idea whether or not a nexthop would
be selected. The kernel only sets RTNH_F_DEAD internally if the
interface has IFF_UP cleared.
With the new sysctl set, the following behavior can be observed
(interface p8p1 is link-down):
default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1
10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15
70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1
80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1 dead linkdown
90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1 dead linkdown
90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2
90.0.0.1 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 src 70.0.0.1
cache
local 80.0.0.1 dev lo src 80.0.0.1
cache <local>
80.0.0.2 via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1 src 10.0.5.15
cache
While the route does remain in the table (so it can be modified if
needed rather than being wiped away as it would be if IFF_UP was
cleared), the proper next-hop is chosen automatically when the link is
down. Now interface p8p1 is linked-up:
default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1
10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15
70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1
80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1
90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1
90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2
192.168.56.0/24 dev p2p1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.56.2
90.0.0.1 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 src 80.0.0.1
cache
local 80.0.0.1 dev lo src 80.0.0.1
cache <local>
80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 src 80.0.0.1
cache
and the output changes to what one would expect.
If the sysctl is not set, the following output would be expected when
p8p1 is down:
default via 10.0.5.2 dev p9p1
10.0.5.0/24 dev p9p1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.15
70.0.0.0/24 dev p7p1 proto kernel scope link src 70.0.0.1
80.0.0.0/24 dev p8p1 proto kernel scope link src 80.0.0.1 linkdown
90.0.0.0/24 via 80.0.0.2 dev p8p1 metric 1 linkdown
90.0.0.0/24 via 70.0.0.2 dev p7p1 metric 2
Since the dead flag does not appear, there should be no expectation that
the kernel would skip using this route due to link being down.

behavioral change if the sysctl is set. Also took suggestion from Alex
to simplify code by only checking sysctl during fib lookup and

Add a fib flag called RTNH_F_LINKDOWN to any ipv4 nexthops that are
reachable via an interface where carrier is off. No action is taken,
but additional flags are passed to userspace to indicate carrier status.
This also includes a cleanup to fib_disable_ip to more clearly indicate
what event made the function call to replace the more cryptic force
option previously used.
v2: Split out kernel functionality into 2 patches, this patch simply
sets and clears new nexthop flag RTNH_F_LINKDOWN.
v3: Cleanups suggested by Alex as well as a bug noticed in
fib_sync_down_dev and fib_sync_up when multipath was not enabled.
v5: Whitespace and variable declaration fixups suggested by Dave.
v6: Style fixups noticed by Dave; ran checkpatch to be sure I got them
all.

switchdev_port_bridge_getlink() queries SWITCHDEV_ATTR_PORT_BRIDGE_FLAGS
attributes, but a driver doesn't need to implement this in order to get
bridge link information.
So error out only on errors different than -EOPNOTSUPP.

This bug pops up with NetworkManager on Fedora 21. NetworkManager tends to
stop the interface (nicvf_stop() is called) before changing settings. In
stopped state MAC cannot be sent to a PF. However, when the interface is
restarted (nicvf_open() is called), we ping the PF using NIC_MBOX_MSG_READY
message, and the PF replies back with old MAC address, overriding what we
had after MAC setting from userspace. As a result, we cannot set MAC
address using NetworkManager.
This patch introduces special tracking of MAC change in stopped state so
that the correct new MAC address is sent to a PF when interface is reopen.

In order to save PCI BW consumed by TX CQEs and to reduce the amount of
CPU cache misses caused by TX CQE reading, we request TX CQE generation
only when skb->xmit_more=0.
As a consequence of the above, a single TX CQE may now indicate the
transmission completion of multiple TX SKBs.
This also handles a problem introduced in commit b1b8105ebf41 "net/mlx5e:
Support NETIF_F_SG" where we didn't ask for NOP completions while the
driver didn't have the proper code to handle this case.

To save per-packet calculations, we use the following static mappings:
1) priv {channel, tc} to netdev txq (used @mlx5e_selec_queue())
2) netdev txq to priv sq (used @mlx5e_xmit())
Thanks to these static mappings, no more need for a separate implementation
of ndo_start_xmit when multiple TCs are configured.
We believe the performance improvement of such separation would be negligible, if any.
The previous way of dynamically calculating the above mappings required
allocating more TX queues than actually used (@alloc_etherdev_mqs()),
which is now no longer needed.
