Test accuracy of GRO stats. We want to cover two potentially tricky
cases:
- single segment GRO
- packets which were eligible but didn't get GRO'd
The first case is trivial, teach gro.c to send one packet, and check
GRO stats didn't move.
Second case requires gro.c to send a lot of flows expecting the NIC
to run out of GRO flow capacity.
To avoid system traffic noise we steer the packets to a dedicated
queue and operate on qstat.

Longer packet sequence tests are quite flaky when the test is run
over a real network. Try to avoid at least the jitter on the sender
side by scheduling all the packets to be sent at once using SO_TXTIME.
Use hardcoded tx time of 5msec in the future. In my test increasing
this time past 2msec makes no difference so 5msec is plenty of margin.
Since we now expect more output buffering make sure to raise SNDBUF.
Note that this is an opportunistic reliability improvement which
will only work if the qdisc can schedule Tx time for us (fq).
Fiddling with qdisc config was deemed too complex, so it's not
part of the patch.

There are transient failures for devices which update stats
periodically, especially if it's the FW DMA'ing the stats
rather than host periodic work querying the FW. Wait 25%
longer than strictly necessary.
For devices which don't report stats-block-usecs we retain
25 msec as the default wait time (0.025sec == 20,000usec * 1.25).

icmp_tag_validation() unconditionally dereferences the result of

The inet_protos[] array is sparse -- only about 15 of 256 protocol
numbers have registered handlers. When ip_no_pmtu_disc is set to 3
(hardened PMTU mode) and the kernel receives an ICMP Fragmentation

We look up a netdev during prep of Netlink ops (pre- callbacks)
and take a ref to it. Then later in the body of the callback
we take its lock or RCU which are the actual protections.
The netdev may get unregistered in between the time we take
the ref and the time we lock it. We may allocate the hierarchy
after flush has already run, which would lead to a leak.
Take the instance lock in pre- already, this saves us from the race
and removes the need for dedicated lock/unlock callbacks completely.
After all, if there's any chance of write happening concurrently
with the flush - we're back to leaking the hierarchy.
We may take the lock for devices which don't support shapers but
we're only dealing with SET operations here, not taking the lock
would be optimizing for an error case.

This is not proper, a conversion from a ref to a locked netdev

Writes needs a separate change to protect from creating the

chan.hdrlen is read once at channel registration by
ppp_register_net_channel(), and used to set the PPP net device's
hard_header_len. It was set to PPPOL2TP_L2TP_HDR_SIZE_NOSEQ (6), which
is 4 bytes too small if sequence numbers are later enabled via
setsockopt(PPPOL2TP_SO_SENDSEQ), causing unnecessary skb reallocations
on the TX path.
The setsockopt handler attempted to change netdev's hard_header_len by
updating chan.hdrlen, but the PPP layer never re-reads it after the
registration, so the update had no effect.
To avoid the unnecessary reallocations, set chan.hdrlen to
PPPOL2TP_L2TP_HDR_SIZE_SEQ (10) unconditionally at registration and
remove the ineffective update in the setsockopt callback.

ieee80211_sta_free_link() only frees the link and doesn't

argument against it was that it also calls the driver and
that already happened, but calls to the driver removing a

Add two parameters for drivers supporting Rx CQE coalescing /
descriptor writeback.
ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_RX_CQE_FRAMES:
Maximum number of frames that can be coalesced into a CQE or
writeback.
ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_RX_CQE_NSECS:
Max time in nanoseconds after the first packet arrival in a
coalesced CQE or writeback to be sent.

When running vmtest.sh inside a nested VM the running kernel may not be
installed on the filesystem at the standard /boot/ or /usr/lib/modules/
paths.
Previously, this would cause vng to fail with "does not exist" since it
could not find the kernel image. Instead, this patch uses --dry-run to
detect if the kernel is available. If not, then we fall back to the
kernel in the kernel source tree. If that fails, then we die.
This way runners, like NIPA, can use vng --run arch/x86/boot/bzImage to
setup an outer VM, and vmtest.sh will still do the right thing setting
up the inner VM.
Due to job control issues in vng, a workaround is used to prevent 'make
kselftest TARGETS=vsock' from hanging until test timeout. A PR has been
placed upstream to solve the issue in vng:

The calculation done by qed_calc_crc32c() is the standard
least-significant-bit-first CRC-32C except it uses
most-significant-bit-first order for the actual CRC variable. That is
equivalent to bit-reflecting the input and output CRC. Replace it with
equivalent calls to the corresponding library functions.
Tested with a simple userspace program which tested that the old and new
implementations of qed_mcast_bin_from_mac() produce the same outputs.

net: mdio-gpio: remove unneeded headers
This removes linux/mdio-gpio.h and linux/platform_data/mdio-gpio.h as
they are not needed due to the symbols either being used by the

====================
remove Kconfig sysmbol MDIO_BUS
MDIO-based regmap is the last user of config symbol MDIO_BUS.
MDIO access needs a MII bus, which requires PHYLIB for the provider part.
Therefore make REGMAP_MDIO depend on PHYLIB, what allows to remove
config symbol MDIO_BUS.

MDIO access needs a MII bus, which requires PHYLIB for the provider part.
Therefore make REGMAP_MDIO depend on PHYLIB, what allows to remove
config symbol MDIO_BUS in a follow-up patch.
Note: After c5a219395b ("regmap: Move selecting for REGMAP_MDIO and
REGMAP_IRQ") switching to "depends on" should be fine, w/o risk
of a circular dependency.
