Wangxun NICs support the connection with SFP to RJ45 module. In this case,
PCS need to be configured in SGMII mode.
According to chapter 6.11.1 "SGMII Auto-Negitiation" of DesignWare Cores
Ethernet PCS (version 3.20a) and custom design manual, do the following
configuration when the interface mode is SGMII.
1. program VR_MII_AN_CTRL bit(3) [TX_CONFIG] = 1b (PHY side SGMII)
2. program VR_MII_AN_CTRL bit(8) [MII_CTRL] = 1b (8-bit MII)
3. program VR_MII_DIG_CTRL1 bit(0) [PHY_MODE_CTRL] = 1b
Also CL37 AN in backplane configurations need to be enabled because of the
special hardware design. Another thing to note is that PMA needs to be
reconfigured before each CL37 AN configuration for SGMII, otherwise AN will
fail, although we don't know why.
On this device, CL37_ANSGM_STS (bit[4:1] of VR_MII_AN_INTR_STS) indicates
the status received from remote link during the auto-negotiation, and
self-clear after the auto-negotiation is complete.
Meanwhile, CL37_ANCMPLT_INTR will be set to 1, to indicate CL37 AN is
complete. So add another way to get the state for CL37 SGMII.

According to chapter 6 of DesignWare Cores Ethernet PCS (version 3.20a)
and custom design manual, add a configuration flow for switching interface
mode.
If the interface changes, the following setting is required:
1. wait VR_XS_PCS_DIG_STS bit(4, 2) [PSEQ_STATE] = 100b (Power-Good)
2. write SR_XS_PCS_CTRL2 to select various PCS type
3. write SR_PMA_CTRL1 and/or SR_XS_PCS_CTRL1 for link speed
4. program PMA registers
5. write VR_XS_PCS_DIG_CTRL1 bit(15) [VR_RST] = 1b (Vendor-Specific
Soft Reset)
6. wait for VR_XS_PCS_DIG_CTRL1 bit(15) [VR_RST] to get cleared
Only 10GBASE-R/SGMII/1000BASE-X modes are planned for the current Wangxun
devices. And there is a quirk for Wangxun devices to switch mode although
the interface in phylink state has not changed, since PCS will change to

mlx5 MACsec RoCEv2 support
From Patrisious:
This series extends previously added MACsec offload support
to cover RoCE traffic either.
In order to achieve that, we need configure MACsec with offload between
the two endpoints, like below:
REMOTE_MAC=10:70:fd:43:71:c0
* ip addr add 1.1.1.1/16 dev eth2
* ip link set dev eth2 up
* ip link add link eth2 macsec0 type macsec encrypt on
* ip macsec offload macsec0 mac
* ip macsec add macsec0 tx sa 0 pn 1 on key 00 dffafc8d7b9a43d5b9a3dfbbf6a30c16
* ip macsec add macsec0 rx port 1 address $REMOTE_MAC
* ip macsec add macsec0 rx port 1 address $REMOTE_MAC sa 0 pn 1 on key 01 ead3664f508eb06c40ac7104cdae4ce5
* ip addr add 10.1.0.1/16 dev macsec0
* ip link set dev macsec0 up
And in a similar manner on the other machine, while noting the keys order
would be reversed and the MAC address of the other machine.
RDMA traffic is separated through relevant GID entries and in case
of IP ambiguity issue - meaning we have a physical GIDs and a MACsec
GIDs with the same IP/GID, we disable our physical GID in order
to force the user to only use the MACsec GID.

Remove the necessity to modify skb_ext_total_length() when new extension
types are added.
Also reduces the line count a bit.
With optimizations enabled the function is folded down to the same
constant value as before during compilation.
This has been validated on x86 with GCC 6.5.0 and 13.2.1.
Also a similar construct has been validated on godbolt.org with GCC 5.1.
In any case the compiler has to be able to evaluate the construct at
compile-time for the BUILD_BUG_ON() in skb_extensions_init().
Even if not evaluated at compile-time this function would only ever
be executed once at run-time, so the overhead would be very minuscule.

The commit 14af9963ba ("bonding: Support macvlans on top of tlb/rlb mode
bonds") aims to enable the use of macvlans on top of rlb bond mode. However,
the current rlb bond mode only handles ARP packets to update remote neighbor
entries. This causes an issue when a macvlan is on top of the bond, and
remote devices send packets to the macvlan using the bond's MAC address
as the destination. After delivering the packets to the macvlan, the macvlan
will rejects them as the MAC address is incorrect. Consequently, this commit
makes macvlan over bond non-functional.
To address this problem, one potential solution is to check for the presence
of a macvlan port on the bond device using netif_is_macvlan_port(bond->dev)
and return NULL in the rlb_arp_xmit() function. However, this approach
doesn't fully resolve the situation when a VLAN exists between the bond and
macvlan.
So let's just do a partial revert for commit 14af9963ba in rlb_arp_xmit().
As the comment said, Don't modify or load balance ARPs that do not originate
locally.

Don't queue more gc work, else we may queue the same elements multiple
times.
If an element is flagged as dead, this can mean that either the previous
gc request was invalidated/discarded by a transaction or that the previous
request is still pending in the system work queue.
The latter will happen if the gc interval is set to a very low value,
e.g. 1ms, and system work queue is backlogged.
The sets refcount is 1 if no previous gc requeusts are queued, so add
a helper for this and skip gc run if old requests are pending.

All callers of build_skb() (*) in bnxt are in NAPI context.
The budget checking is somewhat convoluted because in the shared
completion queue cases Rx packets are discarded by netpoll
by forcing an error (E). But that happens before skb allocation.
Only a call chain starting at __bnxt_poll_work() can lead to
an skb allocation and it checks budget (b).
* bnxt_rx_multi_page_skb
* bnxt_rx_skb
` bp->rx_skb_func
* bnxt_tpa_end
` bnxt_rx_pkt
E bnxt_force_rx_discard
E bnxt_poll_nitroa0
b __bnxt_poll_work
Use napi_build_skb() to take advantage of the skb cache.

When replacing an existing root qdisc, with one that is of the same kind, the

scenario which resulted in a taprio qdisc replacing an existing taprio qdisc
with a combination of NLM_F_CREATE, NLM_F_REPLACE and NLM_F_EXCL leading to
create and graft scenario.
The fix ensures that only when the qdisc kinds are different that we should
allow a create and graft, otherwise it goes into the "change" codepath.
While at it, fix the code and comments to improve readability.

BPF programs that run on connect can rewrite the connect address. For
the connect system call this isn't a problem, because a copy of the address
is made when it is moved into kernel space. However, kernel_connect
simply passes through the address it is given, so the caller may observe
its address value unexpectedly change.
A practical example where this is problematic is where NFS is combined
with a system such as Cilium which implements BPF-based load balancing.
A common pattern in software-defined storage systems is to have an NFS
mount that connects to a persistent virtual IP which in turn maps to an
ephemeral server IP. This is usually done to achieve high availability:
if your server goes down you can quickly spin up a replacement and remap
the virtual IP to that endpoint. With BPF-based load balancing, mounts
will forget the virtual IP address when the address rewrite occurs
because a pointer to the only copy of that address is passed down the
stack. Server failover then breaks, because clients have forgotten the
virtual IP address. Reconnects fail and mounts remain broken. This patch
was tested by setting up a scenario like this and ensuring that NFS
reconnects worked after applying the patch.
