In user-space there's no way to distinguish why an mdb entry was deleted
and that is a problem for daemons which would like to keep the mdb in
sync with remote ends (e.g. mlag) but would also like to converge faster.
In almost all cases we'd like to age-out the remote entry for performance
and convergence reasons except when fast-leave is enabled. In that case we
want explicit immediate remote delete, thus add mdb flag which is set only
when the entry is being deleted due to fast-leave.

We have a reasonably large number of changes:
* lots more HE (802.11ax) support, particularly things
relevant for the the AP side, but also mesh support
* debugfs cleanups from Greg
* some more work on extended key ID
* start using genl parallel_ops, as preparation for
weaning ourselves off RTNL and getting parallelism
* various other changes all over

Since virtio-vsock was introduced, the buffers filled by the host
and pushed to the guest using the vring, are directly queued in
a per-socket list. These buffers are preallocated by the guest
with a fixed size (4 KB).
The maximum amount of memory used by each socket should be
controlled by the credit mechanism.
The default credit available per-socket is 256 KB, but if we use
only 1 byte per packet, the guest can queue up to 262144 of 4 KB
buffers, using up to 1 GB of memory per-socket. In addition, the
guest will continue to fill the vring with new 4 KB free buffers
to avoid starvation of other sockets.
This patch mitigates this issue copying the payload of small
packets (< 128 bytes) into the buffer of last packet queued, in
order to avoid wasting memory.

HE allows peers to negotiate the aggregation fragmentation level to be used
during transmission. The level can be 1-3. The Ext element is added behind
the ADDBA request inside the action frame. The responder will then reply
with the same level or a lower one if the requested one is not supported.
This patch only handles the negotiation part as the ADDBA frames get passed
to the ATH11k firmware, which does the rest of the magic for us aswell as
generating the requests.

The Tegra EQOS driver already resets the MDIO bus at probe time via the
reset GPIO specified in the phy-reset-gpios device tree property. There
is no need to reset the bus again later on.
This avoids the need to query the device tree for the snps,reset GPIO,
which is not part of the Tegra EQOS device tree bindings. This quiesces
an error message from the generic bus reset code if it doesn't find the
snps,reset related delays.

Extended Key ID allows A-MPDU sessions while rekeying as long as each
A-MPDU aggregates only MPDUs with one keyid together.
Drivers able to segregate MPDUs accordingly can tell mac80211 to not
stop A-MPDU sessions when rekeying by setting the new flag
IEEE80211_HW_AMPDU_KEYBORDER_SUPPORT.

1) Drop IEEE80211_HW_EXT_KEY_ID_NATIVE and let drivers directly set

2) Drop IEEE80211_HW_NO_AMPDU_KEYBORDER_SUPPORT and simply assume all

The new Extended Key ID API now requires all mac80211 drivers to set
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_EXT_KEY_ID when they implement set_key() and can
handle Extended Key ID. For drivers not providing set_key() mac80211
itself enables Extended Key ID support, using the internal SW crypto

Some applications set tiny SO_SNDBUF values and expect
TCP to just work. Recent patches to address CVE-2019-11478
broke them in case of losses, since retransmits might
be prevented.
We should allow these flows to make progress.
This patch allows the first and last skb in retransmit queue
to be split even if memory limits are hit.
It also adds the some room due to the fact that tcp_sendmsg()
and tcp_sendpage() might overshoot sk_wmem_queued by about one full
TSO skb (64KB size). Note this allowance was already present
in stable backports for kernels < 4.15
Note for < 4.15 backports :
tcp_rtx_queue_tail() will probably look like :
static inline struct sk_buff *tcp_rtx_queue_tail(const struct sock *sk)
{
struct sk_buff *skb = tcp_send_head(sk);
return skb ? tcp_write_queue_prev(sk, skb) : tcp_write_queue_tail(sk);
}

Inspired by commit 9cac38dd5d (KVM/s390: Set preempted flag during
vcpu wakeup and interrupt delivery), we want to also boost not just
lock holders but also vCPUs that are delivering interrupts. Most
smp_call_function_many calls are synchronous, so the IPI target vCPUs
are also good yield candidates. This patch introduces vcpu->ready to
boost vCPUs during wakeup and interrupt delivery time; unlike s390 we do
not reuse vcpu->preempted so that voluntarily preempted vCPUs are taken
into account by kvm_vcpu_on_spin, but vmx_vcpu_pi_put is not affected
(VT-d PI handles voluntary preemption separately, in pi_pre_block).
