      net: hns3: modify an unsuitable print when setting unknown duplex to fibre · 2d3db26d
      Guangbin Huang authored 
      Currently, if device is in link down status and user uses
'ethtool -s' command to set speed but not specify duplex
mode, the duplex mode passed from ethtool to driver is
unknown value(255), and the fibre port will identify this
value as half duplex mode and print "only copper port
supports half duplex!". This message is confusing.

So for fibre port, only the setting duplex is half, prints
error and returns.

      mlxsw: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member · e99f8e7f
      Gustavo A. R. Silva authored 
      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.

      phy: avoid unnecessary link-up delay in polling mode · e96bd2d3
      Petr Oros authored 
      commit 93c09704 ("net: phy: consider latched link-down status in
polling mode") removed double-read of latched link-state register for
polling mode from genphy_update_link(). This added extra ~1s delay into
sequence link down->up.
Following scenario:
 - After boot link goes up
 - phy_start() is called triggering an aneg restart, hence link goes
   down and link-down info is latched.
 - After aneg has finished link goes up. In phy_state_machine is checked
   link state but it is latched "link is down". The state machine is
   scheduled after one second and there is detected "link is up". This
   extra delay can be avoided when we keep link-state register double read
   in case when link was down previously.

With this solution we don't miss a link-down event in polling mode and
link-up is faster.

Details about this quirky behavior on Realtek phy:
Without patch:
T0:    aneg is started, link goes down, link-down status is latched
T0+3s: state machine runs, up-to-date link-down is read
T0+4s: state machine runs, aneg is finished (BMSR_ANEGCOMPLETE==1),
       here i read link-down (BMSR_LSTATUS==0),
T0+5s: state machine runs, aneg is finished (BMSR_ANEGCOMPLETE==1),
       up-to-date link-up is read (BMSR_LSTATUS==1),
       phydev->link goes up, state change PHY_NOLINK to PHY_RUNNING

With patch:
T0:    aneg is started, link goes down, link-down status is latched
T0+3s: state machine runs, up-to-date link-down is read
T0+4s: state machine runs, aneg is finished (BMSR_ANEGCOMPLETE==1),
       first BMSR read: BMSR_ANEGCOMPLETE==1 and BMSR_LSTATUS==0,
       second BMSR read: BMSR_ANEGCOMPLETE==1 and BMSR_LSTATUS==1,
       phydev->link goes up, state change PHY_NOLINK to PHY_RUNNING

      sfc: elide assignment of skb · 00796b92
      Edward Cree authored 
      Instead of assigning skb = segments before the loop, just pass
 segments directly as the first argument to skb_list_walk_safe().

      net: fec: Prevent unbind operation · 272bb0e9
      Fabio Estevam authored 
      After performing an unbind/bind operation the network is no longer
functional on i.MX6 (which has a single FEC instance):

# echo 2188000.ethernet > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/fec/unbind
# echo 2188000.ethernet > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/fec/bind
[   10.756519] pps pps0: new PPS source ptp0
[   10.792626] libphy: fec_enet_mii_bus: probed
[   10.799330] fec 2188000.ethernet eth0: registered PHC device 1
# udhcpc -i eth0
udhcpc: started, v1.31.1
[   14.985211] fec 2188000.ethernet eth0: no PHY, assuming direct connection to switch
[   14.993140] libphy: PHY fixed-0:00 not found
[   14.997643] fec 2188000.ethernet eth0: could not attach to PHY

On SoCs with two FEC instances there are some cases where one FEC instance
depends on the other one being present. One such example is i.MX28, which
has the following FEC dependency as noted in the comments:

	/*
	 * The i.MX28 dual fec interfaces are not equal.
	 * Here are the differences:
	 *
	 *  - fec0 supports MII & RMII modes while fec1 only supports RMII
	 *  - fec0 acts as the 1588 time master while fec1 is slave
	 *  - external phys can only be configured by fec0
	 *
	 * That is to say fec1 can not work independently. It only works
	 * when fec0 is working. The reason behind this design is that the
	 * second interface is added primarily for Switch mode.
	 *
	 * Because of the last point above, both phys are attached on fec0
	 * mdio interface in board design, and need to be configured by
	 * fec0 mii_bus.
	 */

Prevent the unbind operation to avoid these issues.
