      net: dsa: stop overriding master's ndo_get_phys_port_name · 5df5661a
      Vladimir Oltean authored 
      The purpose of this override is to give the user an indication of what
the number of the CPU port is (in DSA, the CPU port is a hardware
implementation detail and not a network interface capable of traffic).

However, it has always failed (by design) at providing this information
to the user in a reliable fashion.

Prior to commit 3369afba ("net: Call into DSA netdevice_ops
wrappers"), the behavior was to only override this callback if it was
not provided by the DSA master.

That was its first failure: if the DSA master itself was a DSA port or a
switchdev, then the user would not see the number of the CPU port in
/sys/class/net/eth0/phys_port_name, but the number of the DSA master
port within its respective physical switch.

But that was actually ok in a way. The commit mentioned above changed
that behavior, and now overrides the master's ndo_get_phys_port_name
unconditionally. That comes with problems of its own, which are worse in
a way.

The idea is that it's typical for switchdev users to have udev rules for
consistent interface naming. These are based, among other things, on
the phys_port_name attribute. If we let the DSA switch at the bottom
to start randomly overriding ndo_get_phys_port_name with its own CPU
port, we basically lose any predictability in interface naming, or even
uniqueness, for that matter.

So, there are reasons to let DSA override the master's callback (to
provide a consistent interface, a number which has a clear meaning and
must not be interpreted according to context), and there are reasons to
not let DSA override it (it breaks udev matching for the DSA master).

But, there is an alternative method for users to retrieve the number of
the CPU port of each DSA switch in the system:

  $ devlink port
  pci/0000:00:00.5/0: type eth netdev swp0 flavour physical port 0
  pci/0000:00:00.5/2: type eth netdev swp2 flavour physical port 2
  pci/0000:00:00.5/4: type notset flavour cpu port 4
  spi/spi2.0/0: type eth netdev sw0p0 flavour physical port 0
  spi/spi2.0/1: type eth netdev sw0p1 flavour physical port 1
  spi/spi2.0/2: type eth netdev sw0p2 flavour physical port 2
  spi/spi2.0/4: type notset flavour cpu port 4
  spi/spi2.1/0: type eth netdev sw1p0 flavour physical port 0
  spi/spi2.1/1: type eth netdev sw1p1 flavour physical port 1
  spi/spi2.1/2: type eth netdev sw1p2 flavour physical port 2
  spi/spi2.1/3: type eth netdev sw1p3 flavour physical port 3
  spi/spi2.1/4: type notset flavour cpu port 4

So remove this duplicated, unreliable and troublesome method. From this
patch on, the phys_port_name attribute of the DSA master will only
contain information about itself (if at all). If the users need reliable
information about the CPU port they're probably using devlink anyway.

      cxgb4: add loopback ethtool self-test · 7235ffae
      Vishal Kulkarni authored 
      In this test, loopback pkt is created and sent on default queue.
The packet goes until the Multi Port Switch (MPS) just before
the MAC and based on the specified channel number, it either
goes outside the wire on one of the physical ports or looped
back to Rx path by MPS. In this case, we're specifying loopback
channel, instead of physical ports, so the packet gets looped
back to Rx path, instead of getting transmitted on the wire.

v3:
- Modify commit message to include test details.
v2:
- Add only loopback self-test.

      Merge branch 'l2tp-further-checkpatch-pl-cleanups' · 15be4ea3
      David S. Miller authored 
      Tom Parkin says:

====================
l2tp: further checkpatch.pl cleanups

l2tp hasn't been kept up to date with the static analysis checks offered
by checkpatch.pl.

This patchset builds on the series "l2tp: cleanup checkpatch.pl
warnings".  It includes small refactoring changes which improve code
quality and resolve a subset of the checkpatch warnings for the l2tp
codebase.

      l2tp: cleanup kzalloc calls · 70c05bfa
      Tom Parkin authored 
      Passing "sizeof(struct blah)" in kzalloc calls is less readable,
potentially prone to future bugs if the type of the pointer is changed,
and triggers checkpatch warnings.

Tweak the kzalloc calls in l2tp which use this form to avoid the
warning.

      l2tp: cleanup netlink tunnel create address handling · 0787840d
      Tom Parkin authored 
      When creating an L2TP tunnel using the netlink API, userspace must
either pass a socket FD for the tunnel to use (for managed tunnels),
or specify the tunnel source/destination address (for unmanaged
tunnels).

Since source/destination addresses may be AF_INET or AF_INET6, the l2tp
netlink code has conditionally compiled blocks to support IPv6.

Rather than embedding these directly into l2tp_nl_cmd_tunnel_create
(where it makes the code difficult to read and confuses checkpatch to
boot) split the handling of address-related attributes into a separate
function.

      l2tp_nl_tunnel_send has conditionally compiled code to support AF_INET6,
which makes the code difficult to follow and triggers checkpatch
warnings.

Split the code out into functions to handle the AF_INET v.s. AF_INET6
cases, which both improves readability and resolves the checkpatch
warnings.

      checkpatch warns about indentation and brace balancing around the
conditionally compiled code for AF_INET6 support in
l2tp_dfs_seq_tunnel_show.

By adding another check on the socket address type we can make the code
more readable while removing the checkpatch warning.

      l2tp: cleanup comparisons to NULL · 0febc7b3
      Tom Parkin authored 
      checkpatch warns about comparisons to NULL, e.g.

        CHECK: Comparison to NULL could be written "!rt"
        #474: FILE: net/l2tp/l2tp_ip.c:474:
        +       if (rt == NULL) {

These sort of comparisons are generally clearer and more readable
the way checkpatch suggests, so update l2tp accordingly.
