The new command (NCSI_CMD_SEND_CMD) is added to allow user space application
to send NC-SI command to the network card.
Also, add a new attribute (NCSI_ATTR_DATA) for transferring request and response.

Request:
User space application
-> Netlink interface (msg)
-> new Netlink handler - ncsi_send_cmd_nl()
-> ncsi_xmit_cmd()
Response:
Response received - ncsi_rcv_rsp()

-> ncsi_rsp_handler_netlink()
-> ncsi_send_netlink_rsp ()
-> Netlink interface (msg)
-> user space application

-> ncsi_send_netlink_timeout ()
-> Netlink interface (msg with zero data length)
-> user space application

The NCSI driver defines a generic ncsi_channel_filter struct that can be
used to store arbitrarily formatted filters, and several generic methods
of accessing data stored in such a filter.
However in both the driver and as defined in the NCSI specification
there are only two actual filters: VLAN ID filters and MAC address
filters. The splitting of the MAC filter into unicast, multicast, and
mixed is also technically not necessary as these are stored in the same
location in hardware.
To save complexity, particularly in the set up and accessing of these
generic filters, remove them in favour of two specific structs. These
can be acted on directly and do not need several generic helper
functions to use.
This also fixes a memory error found by KASAN on ARM32 (which is not
upstream yet), where response handlers accessing a filter's data field
could write past allocated memory.

The current HNCDSC handler takes the status flag from the AEN packet and
will update or change the current channel based on this flag and the
current channel status.
However the flag from the HNCDSC packet merely represents the host link
state. While the state of the host interface is potentially interesting
information it should not affect the state of the NCSI link. Indeed the
NCSI specification makes no mention of any recommended action related to
the host network controller driver state.
Update the HNCDSC handler to record the host network driver status but
take no other action.

The NCSI channel has been configured to provide service if its link
monitor timer is enabled, regardless of its state (inactive or active).
So the timeout event on the link monitor indicates the out-of-service
on that channel, for which a failover is needed.
This sets NCSI_DEV_RESHUFFLE flag to enforce failover on link monitor
timeout, regardless the channel's original state (inactive or active).
Also, the link is put into "down" state to give the failing channel
lowest priority when selecting for the active channel. The state of
failing channel should be set to active in order for deinitialization
and failover to be done.

if no channel has been selected yet, resulting in a segfault.
Secondly this does not necessarily reflect the capabilities of any other
channels. Instead only drop a new VLAN id if we are already tracking the
maximum allowed by the NCSI specification. Per-channel limits are
already handled by ncsi_add_filter(), but add a message to set_one_vid()

appropriately.
Several VLAN tags can be set and a "Set VLAN Filter" packet must be sent
for each one, meaning the ncsi_dev_state_config_svf state must be
repeated. An internal list of VLAN tags is maintained, and compared
against the current channel's ncsi_channel_filter in order to keep track
within the state. VLAN filters are removed in a similar manner, with the
introduction of the ncsi_dev_state_config_clear_vids state. The maximum
number of VLAN tag filters is determined by the "Get Capabilities"

This improves AEN handler for Host Network Controller Driver Status
Change (HNCDSC):
* The channel's lock should be hold when accessing its state.
* Do failover when host driver isn't ready.
* Configure channel when host driver becomes ready.

The issue was found on BCM5718 which has two NCSI channels in one
package: C0 and C1. C0 is in link-up state while C1 is in link-down
state. C0 is chosen as active channel until unplugging and plugging
C0's cable: On unplugging C0's cable, LSC (Link State Change) AEN
packet received on C0 to report link-down event. After that, C1 is
chosen as active channel. LSC AEN for link-up event is lost on C0
when plugging C0's cable back. We lose the network even C0 is usable.
This resolves the issue by recording the (hot) channel that was ever
chosen as active one. The hot channel is chosen to be active one
if none of available channels in link-up state. With this, C0 is still
the active one after unplugging C0's cable. LSC AEN packet received
on C0 when plugging its cable back.

The issue was found on BCM5718 which has two NCSI channels in one
package: C0 and C1. Both of them are connected to different LANs,
means they are in link-up state and C0 is chosen as the active one
until resetting BCM5718 happens as below.
Resetting BCM5718 results in LSC (Link State Change) AEN packet
received on C0, meaning LSC AEN is missed on C1. When LSC AEN packet
received on C0 to report link-down, it fails over to C1 because C1
is in link-up state as software can see. However, C1 is in link-down
state in hardware. It means the link state is out of synchronization
between hardware and software, resulting in inappropriate channel (C1)
selected as active one.
This resolves the issue by sending separate GLS (Get Link Status)
commands to all channels in the package before trying to do failover.
The last link states of all channels in the package are retrieved.
With it, C0 (not C1) is selected as active one as expected.

There are several if/else statements in the state machine implemented
by switch/case in ncsi_suspend_channel() to avoid duplicated code. It
makes the code a bit hard to be understood.
This drops if/else statements in ncsi_suspend_channel() to improve the
code readability as Joel Stanley suggested. Also, it becomes easy to
add more states in the state machine without affecting current code.
No logical changes introduced by this.

This introduces ncsi_stop_dev(), as counterpart to ncsi_start_dev(),
to stop the NCSI device so that it can be reenabled in future. This
API should be called when the network device driver is going to
shutdown the device. There are 3 things done in the function: Stop
the channel monitoring; Reset channels to inactive state; Report
NCSI link down.

The original NCSI channel monitoring was implemented based on a
backoff algorithm: the GLS response should be received in the
specified interval. Otherwise, the channel is regarded as dead
and failover should be taken if current channel is an active one.
There are several problems in the implementation: (A) On BCM5718,
we found when the IID (Instance ID) in the GLS command packet
changes from 255 to 1, the response corresponding to IID#1 never
comes in. It means we cannot make the unfair judgement that the
channel is dead when one response is missed. (B) The code's
readability should be improved. (C) We should do failover when
current channel is active one and the channel monitoring should
be marked as disabled before doing failover.
This reworks the channel monitoring to address all above issues.
The fields for channel monitoring is put into separate struct
and the state of channel monitoring is predefined. The channel
is regarded alive if the network controller responses to one of
two GLS commands or both of them in 5 seconds.

field (@driven) for the purpose. We lost the flexibility to extend

and NCSI command argument struct. Each bit of the newly introduced

The NCSI request index (struct ncsi_request::id) is put into instance
ID (IID) field while sending NCSI command packet. It was designed the
available IDs are given in round-robin fashion. @ndp->request_id was
introduced to represent the next available ID, but it has been used
as number of successively allocated IDs. It breaks the round-robin
design. Besides, we shouldn't put 0 to NCSI command packet's IID
field, meaning ID#0 should be reserved according section 6.3.1.1
in NCSI spec (v1.1.0).
This fixes above two issues. With it applied, the available IDs will
be assigned in round-robin fashion and ID#0 won't be assigned.

xchg() is used to set NCSI channel's state in order for consistent

one build warning will be raised (with -Wunused-value) as below message

gcc-4.9 and higher warn about the newly added NSCI code:

net/ncsi/ncsi-manage.c:1003:2: error: 'old_state' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
The warning is a false positive and therefore harmless, but it would be good to
avoid it anyway. I have determined that the barrier in the spin_unlock_irqsave()
is what confuses gcc to the point that it cannot track whether the variable
was unused or not.
This rearranges the code in a way that makes it obvious to gcc that old_state
is always initialized at the time of use, functionally this should not
change anything.

This manages NCSI packages and channels:
* The available packages and channels are enumerated in the first
time of calling ncsi_start_dev(). The channels' capabilities are
probed in the meanwhile. The NCSI network topology won't change
until the NCSI device is destroyed.
* There in a queue in every NCSI device. The element in the queue,
channel, is waiting for configuration (bringup) or suspending
(teardown). The channel's state (inactive/active) indicates the
futher action (configuration or suspending) will be applied on the
channel. Another channel's state (invisible) means the requested
action is being applied.
* The hardware arbitration will be enabled if all available packages
and channels support it. All available channels try to provide
service when hardware arbitration is enabled. Otherwise, one channel
is selected as the active one at once.
* When channel is in active state, meaning it's providing service, a
timer started to retrieve the channe's link status. If the channel's
link status fails to be updated in the determined period, the channel
is going to be reconfigured. It's the error handling implementation
as defined in NCSI spec.
