The KSZ9477 PHY errata handling code has now been moved into the Micrel
PHY driver, so it is no longer needed inside the DSA switch driver.
Remove it.

The ksz9477 DSA switch driver is currently updating some MMD registers
on the internal port PHYs to address some chip errata. However, these
errata are really a property of the PHY itself, not the switch they are
part of, so this is kind of a layering violation. It makes more sense for
these writes to be done inside the driver which binds to the PHY and not
the driver for the containing device.

This also addresses some issues where the ordering of when these writes
are done may have been incorrect, causing the link to erratically fail to
come up at the proper speed or at all. Doing this in the PHY driver
during config_init ensures that they happen before anything else tries to
change the state of the PHY on the port.

The new code also ensures that autonegotiation is disabled during the
register writes and re-enabled afterwards, as indicated by the latest
version of the errata documentation from Microchip.

splice, net: Handle MSG_SPLICE_PAGES in AF_KCM

Here are patches to make AF_KCM handle the MSG_SPLICE_PAGES internal

implementation is then turned into a wrapper around that.

Does anyone actually use AF_KCM?  Upstream it has some issues.  It doesn't
seem able to handle a "message" longer than 113920 bytes without jamming

net/mlx5: Support 4 ports VF LAG, part 1/2

This series continues the series[1] "Support 4 ports HCAs LAG mode"
by Mark Bloch. This series adds support for 4 ports VF LAG (single FDB
E-Switch).

This series of patches focuses on refactoring different sections of the
code that make assumptions about VF LAG supporting only two ports. For
instance, it assumes that each device can only have one peer.

Patches 1-5:
- Refactor ETH handling of TC rules of eswitches with peers.
Patch 6:
- Refactors peer miss group table.
Patches 7-9:
- Refactor single FDB E-Switch creation.
Patch 10:
- Refactor the DR layer.
Patches 11-14:
- Refactors devcom layer.

Next series will refactor LAG layer and enable 4 ports VF LAG.
This series specifically allows HCAs with 4 ports to create a VF LAG
with only 4 ports. It is not possible to create a VF LAG with 2 or 3
ports using HCAs that have 4 ports.

Currently, the Merged E-Switch feature only supports HCAs with 2 ports.
However, upcoming patches will introduce support for HCAs with 4 ports.

In order to activate VF LAG a user can execute:

devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:08:00.0 mode switchdev
devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:08:00.1 mode switchdev
devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:08:00.2 mode switchdev
devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:08:00.3 mode switchdev
ip link add name bond0 type bond
ip link set dev bond0 type bond mode 802.3ad
ip link set dev eth2 master bond0
ip link set dev eth3 master bond0
ip link set dev eth4 master bond0
ip link set dev eth5 master bond0

Where eth2, eth3, eth4 and eth5 are net-interfaces of pci/0000:08:00.0
pci/0000:08:00.1 pci/0000:08:00.2 pci/0000:08:00.3 respectively.

User can verify LAG state and type via debugfs:

    swp2              1 PVID Egress Untagged
                      555
    br1               1 Egress Untagged
                      555 PVID Egress Untagged

Note that it is possible for untagged traffic to just flow through as VLAN
1, instead of using VLAN 555 as intended by the test. This configuration
seems too close to "works by accident", and it would be better to just shut
out VLAN 1 altogether.

To that end, configure vlan_default_pvid of 0:

    # bridge vlan show
    port              vlan-id

net: add a regmap-based mdio driver and drop TSE PCS

This is the V4 of a series that follows-up on the work [1] aiming to drop the
altera TSE PCS driver, as it turns out to be a version of the Lynx PCS exposed
as a memory-mapped block, instead of living on an MDIO bus.

One step of this removal involved creating a regmap-based mdio driver
that translates MDIO accesses into the actual underlying bus that
exposes the register. The register layout must of course match the
standard MDIO layout, but we can now account for differences in stride
with recent work on the regmap subsystem [2].

Sorry for repeating this, but I didn't hear anything on this matter in previous
iterations, Mark, Net maintainers, this series depends on the patch
e12ff287 that was recently merged into the regmap tree [3].

For this series to be usable in net-next, this patch must be applied
beforehand. Should Mark create a tag that would then be merged into
net-next ? Or should we just wait for the next release to merge this
into net-next ?

This series introduces a new MDIO driver, and uses it to convert Altera
TSE from the actual TSE PCS driver to Lynx PCS.

Since it turns out dwmac_socfpga also uses a TSE PCS block, port that
driver to Lynx as well.

Changes in V4 :
 - Use new pcs_lynx_create/destroy helpers added by Russell
 - Rework the cleanup sequence to avoid leaking data
 - Rework a bit KConfig to properly select dependencies
 - Fix a few hiccups with misplaced hunks in 2 commits

Changes in V3 :
 - Use a dedicated struct for the mii bus's priv data, to avoid
   duplicating the whole struct mdio_regmap_config, from which 2 fields
   only are necessary after init, as suggested by Russell
 - Use ~0 instead of ~0UL for the no-scan bitmask, following Simon's
   review.

Changes in V2 :
 - Use phy_mask to avoid unnecessarily scanning the whole mdio bus
 - Go one step further and completely disable scanning if users
   set the .autoscan flag to false, in case the mdiodevice isn't an
   actual PHY (a PCS for example).

There exists several examples today of devices that embed an ethernet
PHY or PCS directly inside an SoC. In this situation, either the device
is controlled through a vendor-specific register set, or sometimes
exposes the standard 802.3 registers that are typically accessed over
MDIO.

As phylib and phylink are designed to use mdiodevices, this driver
allows creating a virtual MDIO bus, that translates mdiodev register
accesses to regmap accesses.

The reason we use regmap is because there are at least 3 such devices
known today, 2 of them are Altera TSE PCS's, memory-mapped, exposed
with a 4-byte stride in stmmac's dwmac-socfpga variant, and a 2-byte
stride in altera-tse. The other one (nxp,sja1110-base-tx-mdio) is
exposed over SPI.

This following message is printed in the console each time a network

  ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): <iface>: link becomes ready

When netns are being extensively used -- e.g. by re-creating netns' with
veth to discuss with each others for testing purposes like mptcp_join.sh
selftest does -- it generates a lot of messages like that: more than 700
when executing mptcp_join.sh with the latest version.

It looks like this message is not that helpful after all: maybe it can
be used as a sign to know if there is something wrong, e.g. if a device
is being regularly reconfigured by accident? But even then, there are
better ways to monitor and diagnose such issues.

When looking at commit 3c21edbd ("[IPV6]: Defer IPv6 device
initialization until the link becomes ready.") which introduces this new
message, it seems it had been added to verify that the new feature was
working as expected. It could have then used a lower level than "info"

It seems then OK today to simply lower its level, similar to commit

and as suggested by Mat [1], Stephen and David [2].

Dan Carpenter reported a signedness bug in genphy_loopback(). Andrew
reports that:

"It is common to get this wrong in general with PHY drivers. Dan
regularly posts fixes like this soon after a PHY driver patch it
merged. I really wish we could somehow get the compiler to warn when
the result from phy_read() is stored into a unsigned type. It would
save Dan a lot of work."

Let's make phy_read*_poll_timeout() immune to further issues when "val"
is an unsigned type by storing the read function's result in a signed
int as well as "val", and using the signed variable both to check for
an error and for propagating that error to the caller.

The advantage of this method is we don't change where the cast from
the signed return code to the user's variable occurs - so users will
see no change.

Previously Heiner changed phy_read_poll_timeout() to check for an error
before evaluating the user supplied condition, but didn't update
phy_read_mmd_poll_timeout(). Make that change there too.

====================
tools: ynl-gen: dust off the user space code

Every now and then I wish I finished the user space part of
the netlink specs, Python scripts kind of stole the show but
C is useful for selftests and stuff which needs to be fast.
Recently someone asked me how to access devlink and ethtool
from C++ which pushed me over the edge.

Fix things which bit rotted and finish notification handling.
This series contains code gen changes only. I'll follow up
with the fixed component, samples and docs as soon as it's
merged.
