net/sched: Load modules via alias

These modules may be loaded lazily without user's awareness and
control. Add respective aliases to modules and request them under these
aliases so that modprobe's blacklisting mechanism (through aliases)
works for them. (The same pattern exists e.g. for filesystem
modules.)

For example (before the change):
  $ tc filter add dev lo parent 10: protocol ip prio 10 handle 1: cgroup
  # cls_cgroup module is loaded despite a `blacklist cls_cgroup` entry
  # in /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf

After the change:
  $ tc filter add dev lo parent 10: protocol ip prio 10 handle 1: cgroup
  Error: TC classifier not found.
  We have an error talking to the kernel
  # explicit/acknowledged (privileged) action is needed
  $ modprobe cls_cgroup
  # blacklist entry won't apply to this direct modprobe, module is
  # loaded with awareness

A considered alternative was invoking `modprobe -b` always from
request_module(), however, dismissed as too intrusive and slightly
confusing in favor of the precedented aliases (the commit 7f78e035
("fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules.").

User experience suffers in both alternatives. Its improvement is
orthogonal to blacklist honoring.

The module sch_ingress stands out among net/sched modules
because it provides multiple act/sch functionalities in a single .ko.
They have aliases to make autoloading work for any of the provided
functionalities.

Since the autoloading was changed to uniformly request any functionality
under its alias, the non-systemic aliases can be removed now (i.e.
assuming the alias were only used to ensure autoloading).

The cls_,sch_,act_ modules may be loaded lazily during network
configuration but without user's awareness and control.

Switch the lazy loading from canonical module names to a module alias.
This allows finer control over lazy loading, the precedent from
commit 7f78e035 ("fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem
modules.") explains it already:

	Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
	filesystem^W net/sched modules are auto-loaded by editing
	/etc/modprobe.d/*.conf with blacklist and alias directives.
	Allowing simple, safe, well understood work-arounds to known
	problematic software.

By default, nothing changes. However, if a specific module is
blacklisted (its canonical name), it won't be modprobe'd when requested
under its alias (i.e. kernel auto-loading). It would appear as if the
given module was unknown.

The module can still be loaded under its canonical name, which is an
explicit (privileged) user action.

Although it would be tempting to create aliases like cls-foo for name

net: mdio-ipq4019: fix wrong default MDC rate

This was a long journey to arrive and discover this problem.

To not waste too much char, there is a race problem with PHY and driver
probe. This was observed with Aquantia PHY firmware loading.

With some hacks the race problem was workarounded but an interesting
thing was notice. It took more than a minute for the firmware to load
via MDIO.

This was strange as the same operation was done by UBoot in at max 5
second and the same data was loaded.

A similar problem was observed on a mtk board that also had an
Aquantia PHY where the load was very slow. It was notice that the cause
was the MDIO bus running at a very low speed and the firmware
was missing a property (present in mtk sdk) that set the right frequency
to the MDIO bus.

It was fun to find that THE VERY SAME PROBLEM is present on IPQ in a
different form. The MDIO apply internally a division to the feed clock
resulting in the bus running at 390KHz instead of 6.25Mhz.

Searching around the web for some documentation and some include and
analyzing the uboot codeflow resulted in the divider being set wrongly
at /256 instead of /16 as the value was actually never set.
Applying the value restore the original load time for the Aquantia PHY.

This series mainly handle this by adding support for the "clock-frequency"
property.

Changes v3:
- Add Reviewed-by tag
- Fix english grammar error in comment
- Drop DTS patch
Changes v2:
- Use DIV_ROUND_UP
- Introduce logic to chose a default value for 802.3 spec 2.5MHz
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The IPQ4019 MDIO internally divide the clock feed by AHB based on the
MDIO_MODE reg. On reset or power up, the default value for the
divider is 0xff that reflect the divider set to /256.

This makes the MDC run at a very low rate, that is, considering AHB is
always fixed to 100Mhz, a value of 390KHz.

This hasn't have been a problem as MDIO wasn't used for time sensitive
operation, it is now that on IPQ807x is usually mounted with PHY that
requires MDIO to load their firmware (example Aquantia PHY).

To handle this problem and permit to set the correct designed MDC
frequency for the SoC add support for the standard "clock-frequency"
property for the MDIO node.

The divider supports value from /1 to /256 and the common value are to
set it to /16 to reflect 6.25Mhz or to /8 on newer platform to reflect
12.5Mhz.

To scan if the requested rate is supported by the divider, loop with
each supported divider and stop when the requested rate match the final
rate with the current divider. An error is returned if the rate doesn't
match any value.

On MDIO reset, the divider is restored to the requested value to prevent
any kind of downclocking caused by the divider reverting to a default
value.

To follow 802.3 spec of 2.5MHz of default value, if divider is set at
/256 and "clock-frequency" is not set in DT, assume nobody set the
divider and try to find the closest MDC rate to 2.5MHz. (in the case of
AHB set to 100MHz, it's 1.5625MHz)

While at is also document other bits of the MDIO_MODE reg to have a
clear idea of what is actually applied there.

Documentation of some BITs is skipped as they are marked as reserved and
their usage is not clear (RES 11:9 GENPHY 16:13 RES1 19:17)

====================
net: ipa: simplify TX power handling

In order to deliver a packet to the IPA hardware, we must ensure
it is powered.  We request power by calling pm_runtime_get(), and
its return value tells us the power state.  We can't block in
ipa_start_xmit(), so if power isn't enabled we prevent further
transmit attempts by calling netif_stop_queue().  Power will
eventually become enabled, at which point we call netif_wake_queue()
to allow the transmit to be retried.  When it does, the power should
be enabled, so the packet delivery can proceed.

The logic that handles this is convoluted, and was put in place
to address a race condition pointed out by Jakub Kicinski during
review.  The fix addressed that race, as well as another one that
was found while investigating it:
  b8e36e13 ("net: ipa: fix TX queue race")
I have wanted to simplify this code ever since, and I'm pleased to
report that this series implements a much better solution that
avoids both race conditions.

The first race occurs between the ->ndo_start_xmit thread and the
runtime resume thread.  If we find power is not enabled when
requested in ipa_start_xmit(), we stop queueing.  But there's a
chance the runtime resume will enable queuing just before that,
leaving queueing stopped forever.  A flag is used to ensure that
does not occur.

A second flag is used to prevent NETDEV_TX_BUSY from being returned
repeatedly during the small window between enabling queueing and
finishing power resume.  This can happen if resume was underway when
pm_runtime_get() was called and completes immediately afterward.
This condition only exists because of the use of the first flag.

The fix is to disable transmit for *every* call to ipa_start_xmit(),
disabling it *before* calling pm_runtime_get().  This leaves three
cases:
  - If the return value indicates power is not active (or is in
    transition), queueing remains disabled--thereby avoiding
    the race between disabling it and a concurrent power thread
    enabling it.
  - If pm_runtime_get() returns an error, we drop the packet and
    re-enable queueing.
  - Finally, if the hardware is powered, we re-enable queueing
    before delivering the packet to the hardware.

So the first race is avoided.  And as a result, the second condition
will not occur.

The first patch adds pointers to the TX and RX IPA endpoints in the
netdev private data.  The second patch has netif_stop_queue() be
called for all packets; if pm_runtime_get() indicates power is
enabled (or an error), netif_wake_queue() is called to enable it
again.  The third and fourth patches get rid of the STARTED and
STOPPED IPA power flags, as well as the power spinlock, because they
are no longer needed.  The last three patches just eliminate some
trivial functions, open-coding them instead.

Currently the STOPPED IPA power flag is used to indicate that the
transmit queue has been stopped.  Previously this was used to avoid
setting the STARTED flag unless the queue had already been stopped.
It meant transmit queuing would be enabled on resume if it was
stopped by the transmit path--and if so, it ensured it only got
enabled once.

We only stop the transmit queue in the transmit path.  The STARTED
flag has been removed, and it causes no real harm to enable
transmits when they're already enabled.  So we can get rid of
the STOPPED flag and call netif_wake_queue() unconditionally.

This makes the IPA power spinlock unnecessary, so it can be removed
as well.

A transmit on the modem netdev can only complete if the IPA hardware
is powered.  Currently, if a transmit request arrives when the
hardware was not powered, further transmits are be stopped to allow
power-up to complete.  Once power-up completes, transmits are once
again enabled.

Runtime resume can complete at the same time a transmit request is
being handled, and previously there was a race between stopping and
restarting transmits.  The STARTED flag was used to ensure the
stop request in the transmit path was skipped if the start request
in the runtime resume path had already occurred.

Now, the queue is *always* stopped in the transmit path, *before*
determining whether power is ACTIVE.  If power is found to already
be active (or if the socket buffer is gets dropped), transmit is
re-enabled.  Otherwise it will (always) be enabled after runtime
resume completes.

The race between transmit and runtime resume no longer exists, so
there is no longer any need to maintain the STARTED flag.

There are a number of flags used in the IPA driver to attempt to
manage race conditions that can occur between runtime resume and
netdev transmit.  If we disable TX before requesting power, we can
avoid these races entirely, simplifying things considerably.

This patch implements the main change, disabling transmit always in
the net_device->ndo_start_xmit() callback, then re-enabling it again
whenever we find power is active (or when we drop the skb).

The patches that follow will refactor the "old" code to the point
that most of it can be eliminated.

IFLA_DPLL_PIN was added to rt_link messages but not to the spec, which
breaks ynl. Add the missing definitions to the rt_link ynl spec.

Netfilter fixes for net

1) TCP conntrack now only evaluates window negotiation for packets in
   the REPLY direction, from Ryan Schaefer. Otherwise SYN retransmissions
   trigger incorrect window scale negotiation. From Ryan Schaefer.

2) Restrict tunnel objects to NFPROTO_NETDEV which is where it makes sense
   to use this object type.

3) Fix conntrack pick up from the middle of SCTP_CID_SHUTDOWN_ACK packets.
   From Xin Long.

4) Another attempt from Jozsef Kadlecsik to address the slow down of the
   swap command in ipset.

5) Replace a BUG_ON by WARN_ON_ONCE in nf_log, and consolidate check for
   the case that the logger is NULL from the read side lock section.

6) Address lack of sanitization for custom expectations. Restrict layer 3
   and 4 families to what it is supported by userspace.
