act_ct: Software offload of conntrack_in

once such flows are offloaded, they will not pass through conntrack
again, and instead act_ct will restore the conntrack info metadata
on the skb to the state it had on the offload event - established.
Act_ct maintains an FT instance per ct zone. Flow table entries
are created, per ct connection, when connections enter an established
state and deleted otherwise. Once an entry is created, the FT assumes
ownership of the entry, and manages it's aging.
On the datapath, first lookup the skb in the zone's FT before going
into conntrack, and if a matching flow is found, restore the conntrack
info metadata on the skb, and skip calling conntrack.

mvneta: add XDP ethtool errors stats for TX to driver
Adding ethtool stats for when XDP transmitted packets overrun the TX
queue. This is recorded separately for XDP_TX and ndo_xdp_xmit. This
is an important aid for troubleshooting XDP based setups.
It is currently a known weakness and property of XDP that there isn't
any push-back or congestion feedback when transmitting frames via XDP.
It's easy to realise when redirecting from a higher speed link into a
slower speed link, or simply two ingress links into a single egress.
The situation can also happen when Ethernet flow control is active.
For testing the patch and provoking the situation to occur on my
Espressobin board, I configured the TX-queue to be smaller (434) than
RX-queue (512) and overload network with large MTU size frames (as a
larger frame takes longer to transmit).
Hopefully the upcoming XDP TX hook can be extended to provide insight
into these TX queue overflows, to allow programmable adaptation
strategies.

net: atlantic: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

octeontx2-af: Optimize data retrieval from firmware
For retrieving info like interface MAC addresses, packet
parser key extraction config etc currently a command
is sent to firmware and firmware which periodically polls
for commands, processes these and returns the info.
This is resulting in interface initialization taking lot
of time. To optimize this a memory region is shared between
firmware and this driver, firmware while booting puts
static info like these into that region for driver to
read directly without using commands.
With this
- Logic for retrieving packet parser extraction config
via commands is removed and repalced with using the
shared 'fwdata' structure.
- Now RVU MSIX vector address is also retrieved from this fwdata struct
instead of from CSR. Otherwise when kexec/kdump crash kernel loads
CSR will have a IOVA setup by primary kernel which impacts
RVU PF/VF's interrupts.
- Also added a mbox handler for PF/VF interfaces to retrieve their MAC
addresses from AF.

net: ipv6: mld: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

Merge branch 'net-ethtool-Introduce-link_ksettings-API-for-virtual-network-devices'
Cris Forno says:
====================
net/ethtool: Introduce link_ksettings API for virtual network devices
This series provides an API for drivers of virtual network devices that
allows users to alter initial device speed and duplex settings to reflect
the actual capabilities of underlying hardware. The changes made include
a helper function ethtool_virtdev_set_link_ksettings, which is used to
retrieve alterable link settings. In addition, there is a new ethtool
function defined to validate those settings. These changes resolve code
duplication for existing virtual network drivers that have already
implemented this behavior. In the case of the ibmveth driver, this API is
used to provide this capability for the first time.
---
v7: - removed ethtool_validate_cmd function pointer parameter from
ethtool_virtdev_set_link_ksettings since none of the virtual drivers
pass in a custom validate function as suggested by Michal Kubecek.
v6: - removed netvsc_validate_ethtool_ss_cmd(). netvsc_drv now uses
ethtool_virtdev_validate_cmd() instead as suggested by Michal Kubecek
and approved by Haiyang Zhang.
- matched handler argument name of ethtool_virtdev_set_link_ksettings
in declaration and definition as suggested by Michal Kubecek.
- shortened validate variable assignment in
ethtool_virtdev_set_link_ksettings as suggested by Michal Kubecek.
v5: - virtdev_validate_link_ksettings is taken out of the ethtool global
structure and is instead added as an argument to
ethtool_virtdev_set_link_ksettings as suggested by Jakub Kicinski.
v4: - Cleaned up return statement in ethtool_virtdev_validate_cmd based
off of Michal Kubecek's and Thomas Falcon's suggestion.
- If the netvsc driver is using the VF device in order to get
accelerated networking, the real speed and duplex is reported by using
the VF device as suggested by Stephen Hemminger.
- The speed and duplex variables are now passed by value rather than
passed by pointer as suggested by Willem de Bruijin and Michal
Kubecek.
- Removed ethtool_virtdev_get_link_ksettings since it was too simple
to warrant a helper function.
v3: - Factored out duplicated code to core/ethtool to provide API to
virtual drivers
v2: - Updated default driver speed/duplex settings to avoid breaking
existing setups

Funtionality changes that pertain to ibmveth driver include:
1. Changed the initial hardcoded link speed to 1GB.
2. Added support for allowing a user to change the reported link
speed via ethtool.
Functionality changes to the netvsc driver include:
1. When netvsc_get_link_ksettings is called, it will defer to the VF
device if it exists to pull accelerated networking values, otherwise
pull default or user-defined values.
2. Similarly, if netvsc_set_link_ksettings called and a VF device
exists, the real values of speed and duplex are changed.

====================
hsr: several code cleanup for hsr module
This patchset is to clean up hsr module code.
1. The first patch is to use debugfs_remove_recursive().
If it uses debugfs_remove_recursive() instead of debugfs_remove(),
hsr_priv() doesn't need to have "node_tbl_file" pointer variable.
2. The second patch is to use extack error message.
If HSR uses the extack instead of netdev_info(), users can get
error messages immediately without any checking the kernel message.
3. The third patch is to use netdev_err() instead of WARN_ONCE().
When a packet is being sent, hsr_addr_subst_dest() is called and
it tries to find the node with the ethernet destination address.
If it couldn't find a node, it warns with WARN_ONCE().
But, using WARN_ONCE() is a little bit overdoing.
So, in this patch, netdev_err() is used instead.
4. The fourth patch is to remove unnecessary rcu_read_{lock/unlock}().
There are some rcu_read_{lock/unlock}() in hsr module and some of
them are unnecessary. In this patch,
these unnecessary rcu_read_{lock/unlock}() will be removed.
5. The fifth patch is to use upper/lower device infrastructure.
netdev_upper_dev_link() is useful to manage lower/upper interfaces.
And this function internally validates looping, maximum depth.
If hsr module uses upper/lower device infrastructure,
it can prevent these above problems.

The hsr_fill_info(), hsr_check_carrier(), hsr_dev_open() and

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Lastly, fix the following checkpatch warning:
CHECK: Prefer kernel type 'u8' over 'uint8_t'
#50: FILE: net/l2tp/l2tp_core.h:119:
+ uint8_t priv[]; /* private data */
