aef716fa5e RDMA/qedr: Remove enumerated type qed_roce_ll2_tx_dest
Clang warns when one enumerated type is explicitly converted to another.

drivers/infiniband/hw/qedr/qedr_roce_cm.c:198:28: warning: implicit
conversion from enumeration type 'enum qed_roce_ll2_tx_dest' to
different enumeration type 'enum qed_ll2_tx_dest' [-Wenum-conversion]
        ll2_tx_pkt.tx_dest = pkt->tx_dest;
                           ~ ~~~~~^~~~~~~
1 warning generated.

Turns out that QED_ROCE_LL2_TX_DEST_NW and QED_ROCE_LL2_TX_DEST_LB are
only used once in the whole tree and QED_ROCE_LL2_TX_DEST_MAX is used
nowhere. Remove them and use the equivalent values from qed_ll2_tx_dest
in their place.

8d8928d879 NFSv3: Improve NFSv3 performance when server returns no post-op attributes
When the server fails to return post-op attributes, the client's
attempt to place read data directly in the page cache fails, and
so we have to do an extra copy in order to realign the data with
page borders.
This patch attempts to detect servers that don't return post-op
attributes on read (e.g. for pNFS) and adjusts the placement
calculation accordingly.

75891f502f SUNRPC: Support for congestion control when queuing is enabled
Both RDMA and UDP transports require the request to get a "congestion control"
credit before they can be transmitted. Right now, this is done when
the request locks the socket. We'd like it to happen when a request attempts
to be transmitted for the first time.
In order to support retransmission of requests that already hold such
credits, we also want to ensure that they get queued first, so that we
don't deadlock with requests that have yet to obtain a credit.

918f3c1fe8 SUNRPC: Improve latency for interactive tasks
One of the intentions with the priority queues was to ensure that no
single process can hog the transport. The field task->tk_owner therefore
identifies the RPC call's origin, and is intended to allow the RPC layer
to organise queues for fairness.
This commit therefore modifies the transmit queue to group requests
by task->tk_owner, and ensures that we round robin among those groups.

ef3f54347f SUNRPC: Distinguish between the slot allocation list and receive queue
When storing a struct rpc_rqst on the slot allocation list, we currently
use the same field 'rq_list' as we use to store the request on the
receive queue. Since the structure is never on both lists at the same
time, this is OK.
However, for clarity, let's make that a union with different names for
the different lists so that we can more easily distinguish between
the two states.

3021a5bbbf SUNRPC: The transmitted message must lie in the RPCSEC window of validity
If a message has been encoded using RPCSEC_GSS, the server is
maintaining a window of sequence numbers that it considers valid.
The client should normally be tracking that window, and needs to
verify that the sequence number used by the message being transmitted
still lies inside the window of validity.

So far, we've been able to assume this condition would be realised
automatically, since the client has been encoding the message only
after taking the socket lock. Once we change that condition, we
will need the explicit check.

80ece6a03a tls: Remove redundant vars from tls record structure
Structure 'tls_rec' contains sg_aead_in and sg_aead_out which point
to a aad_space and then chain scatterlists sg_plaintext_data,
sg_encrypted_data respectively. Rather than using chained scatterlists
for plaintext and encrypted data in aead_req, it is efficient to store
aad_space in sg_encrypted_data and sg_plaintext_data itself in the
first index and get rid of sg_aead_in, sg_aead_in and further chaining.

This requires increasing size of sg_encrypted_data & sg_plaintext_data
arrarys by 1 to accommodate entry for aad_space. The code which uses
sg_encrypted_data and sg_plaintext_data has been modified to skip first
index as it points to aad_space.

David Howells says:

====================
rxrpc: Fixes

Here are some miscellaneous fixes for AF_RXRPC:

 (1) Remove a duplicate variable initialisation.

 (2) Fix one of the checks made when we decide to set up a new incoming
     service call in which a flag is being checked in the wrong field of
     the packet header.  This check is abstracted out into helper
     functions.

 (3) Fix RTT gathering.  The code has been trying to make use of socket
     timestamps, but wasn't actually enabling them.  The code has also been
     recording a transmit time for the outgoing packet for which we're
     going to measure the RTT after sending the message - but we can get
     the incoming packet before we get to that and record a negative RTT.

 (4) Fix the emission of BUSY packets (we are emitting ABORTs instead).

 (5) Improve error checking on incoming packets.

 (6) Try to fix a bug in new service call handling whereby a BUG we should
     never be able to reach somehow got triggered.  Do this by moving much
     of the checking as early as possible and not repeating it later
     (depends on (5) above).

 (7) Fix the sockopts set on a UDP6 socket to include the ones set on a
     UDP4 socket so that we receive UDP4 errors and packet-too-large
     notifications too.

 (8) Fix the distribution of errors so that we do it at the point of
     receiving an error in the UDP callback rather than deferring it
     thereby cutting short any transmissions that would otherwise occur in
     the window.

  accesses at any time following any reset that the host is capable of
  issuing Configuration Requests to this Function.

  When this bit is Set, for accesses to this Function, software is exempt
  from all requirements to delay configuration accesses following any type
  of reset, including but not limited to the timing requirements defined in
  Section 6.6.

This means that all delays after a Conventional or Function Reset can be
skipped.

This patch reads such bit and caches its value in a flag inside struct
pci_dev to be checked later if we should delay or can skip delays after a
reset.  While at that, also move the explicit msleep(100) call from
pcie_flr() and pci_af_flr() to pci_dev_wait().

Johannes Berg says:

====================
More patches than I'd like perhaps, but each seems reasonable:
 * two new spectre-v1 mitigations in nl80211
 * TX status fix in general, and mesh in particular
 * powersave vs. offchannel fix
 * regulatory initialization fix
 * fix for a queue hang due to a bad return value
 * allocate TXQs for active monitor interfaces, fixing my
   earlier patch to avoid unnecessary allocations where I
   missed this case needed them
 * fix TDLS data frames priority assignment
 * fix scan results processing to take into account duplicate
   channel numbers (over different operating classes, but we
   don't necessarily know the operating class)
 * various hwsim fixes for radio destruction and new radio
   announcement messages
 * remove an extraneous kernel-doc line
====================

1501d13596 netlink: add nested array policy validation
Sometimes nested netlink attributes are just used as arrays, with
the nla_type() of each not being used; we have this in nl80211 and
e.g. NFTA_SET_ELEM_LIST_ELEMENTS.

Add the ability to validate this type of message directly in the
policy, by adding the type NLA_NESTED_ARRAY which does exactly
this: require a first level of nesting but ignore the attribute
type, and then inside each require a second level of nested and
validate those attributes against a given policy (if present).

Note that some nested array types actually require that all of
the entries have the same index, this is possible to express in
a nested policy already, apart from the validation that only the
one allowed type is used.

9a659a35ba netlink: allow NLA_NESTED to specify nested policy to validate
Now that we have a validation_data pointer, and the len field in
the policy is unused for NLA_NESTED, we can allow using them both
to have nested validation. This can be nice in code, although we
still have to use nla_parse_nested() or similar which would also
take a policy; however, it also serves as documentation in the
policy without requiring a look at the code.
