There are no users of platform data in the mainline tree, and new boards should use either ACPI or device tree, so let's stop supporting it. This will help with converting the driver to gpiod API.

This reverts commit 622bd6ea. Dmitry Torokhov points out that this conversion leaves an existing board in reset state due to not properly handled polarity. Additionally, the GPIO name inadvertenly changes from "reset-gpio" to "rstn-gpios". Revert to avoid these regressions. Follow up patches for a better conversion are applied as well.

cc2520 supports both probing from static platform_data and from devicetree, but there have never been any definitions of the platform data in the mainline kernel, so it's safe to assume that only the DT path is used. After folding cc2520_platform_data into the driver itself, the GPIO handling can be simplified by moving to the modern gpiod interface.

There are no remaining in-tree users of the platform_data, so this driver can be converted to using the simpler gpiod interfaces. Any out-of-tree users that rely on the platform data can provide the data using the device_property and gpio_lookup interfaces instead.

Implement the core hooks in order to provide the softMAC layer support for sending beacons. Coordinators may be requested to send beacons in a beacon enabled PAN in order for the other devices around to self discover the available PANs automatically. Changing the channels is prohibited while a beacon operation is ongoing. The implementation uses a workqueue triggered at a certain interval depending on the symbol duration for the current channel and the interval order provided. Sending beacons in response to a BEACON_REQ frame (ie. answering active scans) is not yet supported. This initial patchset has no security support (llsec).

Parse user requests for sending beacons, start sending beacons at a regular pace. If needed, the pace can be updated with a new request. The process can also be interrupted at any moment. The page and channel must be changed beforehands if needed. Interval orders above 14 are reserved to tell a device it must answer BEACON_REQ coming from another device as part of an active scan procedure and this is not yet supported. A netlink "beacon request" structure is created to list the requirements. Mac layers may now implement the ->send_beacons() and ->stop_beacons() hooks.

Implement the core hooks in order to provide the softMAC layer support for passive scans. Scans are requested by the user and can be aborted. Changing channels manually is prohibited during scans. The implementation uses a workqueue triggered at a certain interval depending on the symbol duration for the current channel and the duration order provided. More advanced drivers with internal scheduling capabilities might require additional care but there is none mainline yet. Received beacons during a passive scan are processed in a work queue and their result forwarded to the upper layer. Active scanning is not supported yet.

The scan logic will bypass the whole ->set_channel() logic from the top by calling the driver hook to just switch between channels when required.

The ieee802154 layer should be able to scan a set of channels in order to look for beacons advertizing PANs. Supporting this involves adding two user commands: triggering scans and aborting scans. The user should also be notified when a new beacon is received and also upon scan termination. A scan request structure is created to list the requirements and to be accessed asynchronously when changing channels or receiving beacons.

Add PM handlers for System suspend/resume. As DMA driver doesn't yet support suspend/resume we free up the DMA channels at suspend and acquire and initialize them at resume. In this revised approach we do not free the TX/RX IRQs at am65_cpsw_nuss_common_stop() as it causes problems. We will now free them only on .suspend() as we need to release the DMA channels (as DMA looses context) and re-acquiring them on .resume() may not necessarily give us the same IRQs. To make this easier: - introduce am65_cpsw_nuss_remove_rx_chns() which is similar to am65_cpsw_nuss_remove_tx_chns(). These will be invoked in pm.suspend() to release the DMA channels and free up the IRQs. - move napi_add() and request_irq() calls to am65_cpsw_nuss_init_rx/tx_chns() so we can invoke them in pm.resume() to acquire the DMA channels and IRQs. As CPTS looses contect during suspend/resume, invoke the necessary CPTS suspend/resume helpers. ALE_CLEAR command is issued in cpsw_ale_start() so no need to issue it before the call to cpsw_ale_start().

Shay Drory says: ==================== devlink: Add port function attribute to enable/disable Roce and migratable This series is a complete rewrite of the series "devlink: Add port function attribute to enable/disable roce" link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20221102163954.279266-1-danielj@nvidia.com/ Currently mlx5 PCI VF and SF are enabled by default for RoCE functionality. And mlx5 PCI VF is disable by dafault for migratable functionality. Currently a user does not have the ability to disable RoCE for a PCI VF/SF device before such device is enumerated by the driver. User is also incapable to do such setting from smartnic scenario for a VF from the smartnic. Current 'enable_roce' device knob is limited to do setting only at driverinit time. By this time device is already created and firmware has already allocated necessary system memory for supporting RoCE. Also, Currently a user does not have the ability to enable migratable for a PCI VF. The above are a hyper visor level control, to set the functionality of devices passed through to guests. This is achieved by extending existing 'port function' object to control capabilities of a function. This enables users to control capability of the device before enumeration. Examples when user prefers to disable RoCE for a VF when using switchdev mode: $ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/1 pci/0000:06:00.0/1: type eth netdev pf0vf0 flavour pcivf controller 0 pfnum 0 vfnum 0 external false splittable false function: hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 roce enable $ devlink port function set pci/0000:06:00.0/1 roce disable $ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/1 pci/0000:06:00.0/1: type eth netdev pf0vf0 flavour pcivf controller 0 pfnum 0 vfnum 0 external false splittable false function: hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 roce disable FAQs: ----- 1. What does roce enable/disable do? Ans: It disables RoCE capability of the function before its enumerated, so when driver reads the capability from the device firmware, it is disabled. At this point RDMA stack will not be able to create UD, QP1, RC, XRC type of QPs. When RoCE is disabled, the GID table of all ports of the device is disabled in the device and software stack. 2. How is the roce 'port function' option different from existing devlink param? Ans: RoCE attribute at the port function level disables the RoCE capability at the specific function level; while enable_roce only does at the software level. 3. Why is this option for disabling only RoCE and not the whole RDMA device? Ans: Because user still wants to use the RDMA device for non RoCE commands in more memory efficient way. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221206185119.380138-1-shayd@nvidia.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

Expose port function commands to enable / disable migratable capability, this is used to set the port function as migratable. Live migration is the process of transferring a live virtual machine from one physical host to another without disrupting its normal operation. In order for a VM to be able to perform LM, all the VM components must be able to perform migration. e.g.: to be migratable. In order for VF to be migratable, VF must be bound to VFIO driver with migration support. When migratable capability is enabled for a function of the port, the device is making the necessary preparations for the function to be migratable, which might include disabling features which cannot be migrated. Example of LM with migratable function configuration: Set migratable of the VF's port function. $ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/2 pci/0000:06:00.0/2: type eth netdev enp6s0pf0vf1 flavour pcivf pfnum 0 vfnum 1 function: hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 migratable disable $ devlink port function set pci/0000:06:00.0/2 migratable enable $ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/2 pci/0000:06:00.0/2: type eth netdev enp6s0pf0vf1 flavour pcivf pfnum 0 vfnum 1 function: hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 migratable enable Bind VF to VFIO driver with migration support: $ echo <pci_id> > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:08:00.0/driver/unbind $ echo mlx5_vfio_pci > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:08:00.0/driver_override $ echo <pci_id> > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:08:00.0/driver/bind Attach VF to the VM.

Expose port function commands to enable / disable RoCE, this is used to control the port RoCE device capabilities. When RoCE is disabled for a function of the port, function cannot create any RoCE specific resources (e.g GID table). It also saves system memory utilization. For example disabling RoCE enable a VF/SF saves 1 Mbytes of system memory per function.

Ido Schimmel says: ==================== bridge: mcast: Preparations for EVPN extensions This patchset was split from [1] and includes non-functional changes aimed at making it easier to add additional netlink attributes later on. Future extensions are available here [2]. The idea behind these patches is to create an MDB configuration structure into which netlink messages are parsed into. The structure is then passed in the entry creation / deletion call chain instead of passing the netlink attributes themselves. The same pattern is used by other rtnetlink objects such as routes and nexthops. I initially tried to extend the current code, but it proved to be too difficult, which is why I decided to refactor it to the extensible and familiar pattern used by other rtnetlink objects. Tested using existing selftests and using a new selftest that will be submitted together with the planned extensions.

Netlink attributes are currently passed deep in the MDB creation call chain, making it difficult to add new attributes. In addition, some validity checks are performed under the multicast lock although they can be performed before it is ever acquired. As a first step towards solving these issues, parse the RTM_{NEW,DEL}MDB messages into a configuration structure, relieving other functions from the need to handle raw netlink attributes. Subsequent patches will convert the MDB code to use this configuration structure. This is consistent with how other rtnetlink objects are handled, such as routes and nexthops.
