platform data controls for mdio-gpio
Soon to be mainlined is an x86 platform with a Marvell switch, and a
bit-banging MDIO bus. In order to make this work, the phy_mask of the
MDIO bus needs to be set to prevent scanning for PHYs, and the
phy_ignore_ta_mask needs to be set because the switch has broken
turnaround.
Add a platform_data structure with these parameters.

The Marvell 6390 Ethernet switch family does not perform MDIO
turnaround correctly. Many hardware MDIO bus masters don't care about
this, but the bitbangging implementation in Linux does by default. Add
phy_ignore_ta_mask to the platform data so that the bitbangging code
can be told which devices are known to get TA wrong.

It is sometimes necessary to instantiate a bit-banging MDIO bus as a
platform device, without the aid of device tree.
When device tree is being used, the bus is not scanned for devices,
only those devices which are in device tree are probed. Without device
tree, by default, all addresses on the bus are scanned. This may then
find a device which is not a PHY, e.g. a switch. And the switch may
have registers containing values which look like a PHY. So during the
scan, a PHY device is wrongly created.
After the bus has been registered, a search is made for
mdio_board_info structures which indicates devices on the bus, and the
driver which should be used for them. This is typically used to
instantiate Ethernet switches from platform drivers. However, if the
scanning of the bus has created a PHY device at the same location as
indicated into the board info for a switch, the switch device is not
created, since the address is already busy.
This can be avoided by setting the phy_mask of the mdio bus. This mask
prevents addresses on the bus being scanned.

after set SO_DONTROUTE to 1, the IP layer should not route packets if
the dest IP address is not in link scope. But if the socket has cached
the dst_entry, such packets would be routed until the sk_dst_cache

SO_DONTROUTE option. Below are server/client python scripts which
could reprodue this issue:

The existing garbage collection algorithm has a number of problems:
1. The gc algorithm will not evict PERMANENT entries as those entries
are managed by userspace, yet the existing algorithm walks the entire
hash table which means it always considers PERMANENT entries when
looking for entries to evict. In some use cases (e.g., EVPN) there
can be tens of thousands of PERMANENT entries leading to wasted
CPU cycles when gc kicks in. As an example, with 32k permanent
entries, neigh_alloc has been observed taking more than 4 msec per
invocation.
2. Currently, when the number of neighbor entries hits gc_thresh2 and
the last flush for the table was more than 5 seconds ago gc kicks in
walks the entire hash table evicting *all* entries not in PERMANENT
or REACHABLE state and not marked as externally learned. There is no
discriminator on when the neigh entry was created or if it just moved
from REACHABLE to another NUD_VALID state (e.g., NUD_STALE).
It is possible for entries to be created or for established neighbor
entries to be moved to STALE (e.g., an external node sends an ARP
request) right before the 5 second window lapses:
-----|---------x|----------|-----
t-5 t t+5
If that happens those entries are evicted during gc causing unnecessary
thrashing on neighbor entries and userspace caches trying to track them.
Further, this contradicts the description of gc_thresh2 which says
"Entries older than 5 seconds will be cleared".
One workaround is to make gc_thresh2 == gc_thresh3 but that negates the
whole point of having separate thresholds.
3. Clearing *all* neigh non-PERMANENT/REACHABLE/externally learned entries
when gc_thresh2 is exceeded is over kill and contributes to trashing
especially during startup.
This patch addresses these problems as follows:
1. Use of a separate list_head to track entries that can be garbage
collected along with a separate counter. PERMANENT entries are not
added to this list.
The gc_thresh parameters are only compared to the new counter, not the
total entries in the table. The forced_gc function is updated to only
walk this new gc_list looking for entries to evict.
2. Entries are added to the list head at the tail and removed from the
front.
3. Entries are only evicted if they were last updated more than 5 seconds
ago, adhering to the original intent of gc_thresh2.
4. Forced gc is stopped once the number of gc_entries drops below
gc_thresh2.
5. Since gc checks do not apply to PERMANENT entries, gc levels are skipped
when allocating a new neighbor for a PERMANENT entry. By extension this
means there are no explicit limits on the number of PERMANENT entries
that can be created, but this is no different than FIB entries or FDB
entries.

This patch adds handling for HNS3 hardware errors(non-standard)
which are reported through MSIX interrupts and not through
PCIe AER channel.
These MSIX reported hardware errors are handled using common
misc. interrupt handler. Hardware error related registers
cannot be cleared in context to the interrupt received as
they require *heavy* access to hardware using IMP(Integrated
Mangement Processor) commands. Hence, we defer the clearing
of such error events till later time.
Since, we have defered exact identification of errors we
will have to defer the level of receovery/reset which
might be required. Hence, a new reset type UNKNOWN reset
has been introduced which effectively defers the assertion
of the reset till we get hold of kind of errors at later
time.

mlxsw: Un/offload FDB on NVE detach/attach
Petr says:
When a VXLAN device is attached to a bridge of a driver capable of
offloading such, or upped, the FDB entries already present at the device
need to be offloaded. Similarly when an offloaded VXLAN device ceases
being interesting (it is downed, or detached, or a front-panel port
netdevice is detached from the bridge that the VXLAN device is attached
to), any offloaded FDB entries need to be unoffloaded and unmarked. This
attach / detach processing is implemented in this patchset.
In patch #1, a code pattern is extracted into a named function for
easier reuse.
In patch #2, vxlan_fdb_replay() is added to send
SWITCHDEV_VXLAN_FDB_ADD_TO_DEVICE for each FDB entry with a given VNI.
The intention is that the offloading driver will interpret these events
like any other and thus offload the FDB entries that existed prior to
VXLAN attach.
In patches #3 and #4, the functions vxlan_fdb_clear_offload() resp.
br_fdb_clear_offload() are added. These clear the offloaded flag at
matching FDB entries.
In patches #5-#9, we introduce FID-type-specific and NVE-type-specific
ops necessary to properly abstract invocations of the replay/clear
functions.
Finally patch #10 implements the FDB management.
In patch #11, the mlxsw-specific test case is extended to check that the
management of offload marks under the newly-supported situations is
correct. Patch #12, from Ido, exercises the new code paths in actual
functional test.
v2:
- Patch #1:
- Modify vxlan_fdb_switchdev_notifier_info() to initialize the
structure through a passed-in pointer argument, instead of returning
it as a value.
- Patch #2:
- Adapt to API change in vxlan_fdb_switchdev_notifier_info()

device, mlxsw should offload the existing offloadable FDB entries.
Similarly when VXLAN device is downed, the FDB entries are unoffloaded,

device is attached to a bridge with a VXLAN device, or when VLAN flags

Petr Machata says:
====================
Pass extack to NETDEV_PRE_UP
Drivers may need to validate configuration of a device that's about to
be upped. An example is mlxsw, which needs to check the configuration of
a VXLAN device attached to an offloaded bridge. Should the validation
fail, there's currently no way to communicate details of the failure to
the user, beyond an error number.
Therefore this patch set extends the NETDEV_PRE_UP event to include
extack, if available.
There are three vectors through which NETDEV_PRE_UP invocation can be
reached. The two major ones are dev_open() and dev_change_flags(), the
last is then __dev_change_flags().
In patch #1, the first access vector, dev_open() is addressed. An extack
parameter is added and all users converted to use it.
Before addressing the second vector, two preparatory patches propagate
extack argument to the proximity of the dev_change_flags() call in VRF
and IPVLAN drivers. That happens in patches #2 and #3. Then in patch #4,
dev_change_flags() is treated similarly to dev_open().
Likewise in patch #5, __dev_change_flags() is extended.
Then in patches #6 and #7, the extack is finally propagated all the way
to the point where the notification is emitted.
This change allows particularly mlxsw (which already has code to
leverage extack if available) to communicate to the user error messages
regarding VXLAN configuration. In patch #8, add a test case that
exercises this code and checks that an error message is propagated.
For example:
local 192.0.2.17 remote 192.0.2.18 \
dstport 4789 nolearning noudpcsum tos inherit ttl 100

Drivers may need to validate configuration of a device that's about to
be upped. Should the validation fail, there's currently no way to
communicate details of the failure to the user, beyond an error number.
To mend that, change __dev_open() to take an extack argument and pass it
from __dev_change_flags() and dev_open(), where it was propagated in the
previous patches.
Change __dev_open() to call call_netdevice_notifiers_extack() so that
the passed-in extack is attached to the NETDEV_PRE_UP notifier.

In order to propagate extack through NETDEV_PRE_UP, add a new function
call_netdevice_notifiers_extack() that primes the extack field of the
notifier info. Convert call_netdevice_notifiers() to a simple wrapper
around the new function that passes NULL for extack.
