David S. Miller d853f11166 Merge branch 'for-davem' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bwh/sfc-next
Ben Hutchings says:

====================
1. Refactoring and cleanup in preparation for new hardware support.
2. Some bug fixes for firmware completion handling.  (They're not known
to cause real problems, otherwise I'd be submitting these for net and
stable.)
3. Update to the firmware protocol (MCDI) definitions.
====================

David S. Miller b05930f5d1 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Conflicts:
	drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/pcie/trans.c
	include/linux/inetdevice.h

The inetdevice.h conflict involves moving the IPV4_DEVCONF values
into a UAPI header, overlapping additions of some new entries.

The iwlwifi conflict is a context overlap.

Boris BREZILLON 148cbb53ac net/cadence/macb: add support for dt phy definition
The macb driver only handle PHY description through platform_data
(macb_platform_data).
Thus, when using dt you cannot define phy properties like phy address or
phy irq pin.

This patch makes use of the of_mdiobus_register to add support for
phy device definition using dt.
A fallback to the autoscan procedure is added in case there is no phy
devices defined in dt.

done by the devm approach; hold a reference to the clock over the period

clock lookup is non-fatal as not all platforms provide clock specs in

commit fba875591 ("disable TX in be_close()") disabled TX in be_close()

the close() path, not after. This allows be_tx_compl_clean() to free up

Li Zhang e8c254c5fe e1000e: Avoid kernel crash during shutdown
While doing shutdown on the PCI device, the corresponding callback
function e1000e_shutdown() is trying to clear those correctable
errors on the upstream P2P bridge. Unfortunately, we don't have
the upstream P2P bridge under some cases (e.g. PCI-passthrou for
KVM on Power). That leads to kernel crash eventually.

The patch adds one more check on that to avoid kernel crash.

Laura Mihaela Vasilescu ed12cc9a14 igb: Expose RSS indirection table for ethtool
This patch adds the ethtool callbacks necessary to change the RETA
indirection table from userspace.

In order to achieve this, we add the indirection table field (rss_indir_tbl)
in the board specific data structure (struct igb_adapter) to preserve the
values across hardware resets.

The indirection table must be initialized with default values in the
following cases:
	* at module init time
	* when the number of RX queues changes.
For this reason we add a new field (rss_indir_tbl_init) in igb_adapter
that keeps track of the number of RX queues. Whenever the number of RX
queues changes, the rss_indir_tbl is modified and initialized with default
values. The rss_indir_tbl_init is updated accordingly.

Pavel Emelyanov 849c9b6f93 tun: Allow to skip filter on attach
There's a small problem with sk-filters on tun devices. Consider
an application doing this sequence of steps:

fd = open("/dev/net/tun");
ioctl(fd, TUNSETIFF, { .ifr_name = "tun0" });
ioctl(fd, TUNATTACHFILTER, &my_filter);
ioctl(fd, TUNSETPERSIST, 1);
close(fd);

At that point the tun0 will remain in the system and will keep in
mind that there should be a socket filter at address '&my_filter'.

If after that we do

fd = open("/dev/net/tun");
ioctl(fd, TUNSETIFF, { .ifr_name = "tun0" });

we most likely receive the -EFAULT error, since tun_attach() would
try to connect the filter back. But (!) if we provide a filter at
address &my_filter, then tun0 will be created and the "new" filter
would be attached, but application may not know about that.

This may create certain problems to anyone using tun-s, but it's
critical problem for c/r -- if we meet a persistent tun device
with a filter in mind, we will not be able to attach to it to dump
its state (flags, owner, address, vnethdr size, etc.).

The proposal is to allow to attach to tun device (with TUNSETIFF)
w/o attaching the filter to the tun-file's socket. After this
attach app may e.g clean the device by dropping the filter, it
doesn't want to have one, or (in case of c/r) get information
about the device with tun ioctls.

Pavel Emelyanov 3d407a80b6 tun: Report whether the queue is attached or not
Multiqueue tun devices allow to attach and detach from its queues
while keeping the interface itself set on file.

Knowing this is critical for the checkpoint part of criu project.

Pavel Emelyanov fb7589a162 tun: Add ability to create tun device with given index
Tun devices cannot be created with ifidex user wants, but it's
required by checkpoint-restore project.

Long time ago such ability was implemented for rtnl_ops-based
interface for creating links (9c7dafbf net: Allow to create links
with given ifindex), but the only API for creating and managing
tuntap devices is ioctl-based and is evolving with adding new ones
(cde8b15f tuntap: add ioctl to attach or detach a file form tuntap
device).

Following that trend, here's how a new ioctl that sets the ifindex
for device, that _will_ be created by TUNSETIFF ioctl looks like.
So those who want a tuntap device with the ifindex N, should open
the tun device, call ioctl(fd, TUNSETIFINDEX, &N), then call TUNSETIFF.
If the index N is busy, then the register_netdev will find this out
and the ioctl would be failed with -EBUSY.

If setifindex is not called, then it will be generated as before.
