====================
40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-08-27
This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only.
Sudheer updates code comments and state variable so that adminq_subtask
will have accutate information whenever it gets scheduled.
Mariusz stores information about FEC modes, to be used to printing link
states information, so that we do not need to call admin queue when
reporting link status. Adds VF support for controlling VLAN tag
stripping via ethtool.
Jake provides the majority of changes in this series, starting with
increasing the size of the prefix buffer so that it can hold enough
characters for every possible input, which prevents snprintf truncation.
Fixed other string truncation errors/warnings produced by GCC 7.x.
Removed an unnecessary workaround for resetting XPS. Fixed an issue
where there is a mismatched affinity mask value, so initialize the value
to cpu_possible_mask and invert the logic for checking incorrect CPU vs
IRQ affinity so that the exceptional case is handled at the check.
Removed ULTRA latency mode due to several issues found and will be
looking at better solution for small packet workloads.
Akeem fixes an issue where the incorrect flag was being used to set
promiscuous mode for unicast, which was enabling promiscuous mode only
for multicast instead of unicast.
Carolyn fixes an issue where an error return value is set, but this
value can be overwritten before we actually do exit the function. So
remove the error code assignment and add code comments for better
understanding on why we do not need to set and return the error.

ACPI OEM ID / OEM Table ID / Revision can be used to identify
a platform based on ACPI firmware info. acpi_blacklisted(),
intel_pstate_platform_pwr_mgmt_exists(), and some other funcs,
have been using similar check to detect a list of platforms
that require special handlings.
Move the platform check in acpi_blacklisted() to a new common
utility function, acpi_match_platform_list(), so that other
drivers do not have to implement their own version.
There is no change in functionality.

The existing nvmet_fc sg list handling has 2 faults:
a) the request between LLDD and transport has too large of an sg
list (256 elements), which is normally 256k (64 elements).
b) sglist handling doesn't optimize on the fact that each element
is a page.
This patch removes the static sg list in the request and uses the
dynamic list already present in the nvmet_fc transport. It also
simplies the handling of the sg list on multiple sequences to
take advantage of the per-page divisions.

This patch adds "tty-index" field to /proc/PID/fdinfo/N if N
specifies /dev/ptmx. The field shows the index of associative
slave pts.
Though a minor number is given for each pts instance, ptmx is not.
It means there is no way in user-space to know the association between
file descriptors for pts/n and ptmx. (n = 0, 1, ...)
This is different from pipe. About pipe such association can be solved
by inode of pipefs.
Providing the way to know the association between pts/n and ptmx helps
users understand the status of running system. lsof can utilize this field.

In the initial sockmap API we provided strparser and verdict programs
using a single attach command by extending the attach API with a the
attach_bpf_fd2 field.
However, if we add other programs in the future we will be adding a
field for every new possible type, attach_bpf_fd(3,4,..). This
seems a bit clumsy for an API. So lets push the programs using two
new type fields.
BPF_SK_SKB_STREAM_PARSER
BPF_SK_SKB_STREAM_VERDICT
This has the advantage of having a readable name and can easily be
extended in the future.
Updates to samples and sockmap included here also generalize tests
slightly to support upcoming patch for multiple map support.

This converts the storage and layout of netfilter hook entries from a
linked list to an array. After this commit, hook entries will be
stored adjacent in memory. The next pointer is no longer required.
The ops pointers are stored at the end of the array as they are only
used in the register/unregister path and in the legacy br_netfilter code.
nf_unregister_net_hooks() is slower than needed as it just calls
nf_unregister_net_hook in a loop (i.e. at least n synchronize_net()
calls), this will be addressed in followup patch.

Update extcon for 4.14
Detailed description for this pull request:
1. Add new 'extcon-usbc-cros-ec.c' driver
- ChromeOS Embedded Controller extcon driver supports
the detection of the Display Port (EXTCON_DISP_DP)
through USB C-type and contol it.
2. Update extcon core
- Modify the description for both functions and structures
in order to improve the readability and give the more correct
guide about the role of functions because there are different
explanation even if the same arguments.
- Keep the indentation with tab instead of space
- Remove the following deprecated extcon API. The deprecated API
are exchanged on all of linux tree.
: extcon_get_cable_state_() -> extcon_get_state()
: extcon_set_cable_state_() -> extcon_set_state_sync()
3. Include the two immutable branch as following:
- ib-extcon-mfd-4.14 for the 'extcon-ubsc-cros-ec.c' driver
because the patches of 'extcon-ubsc-cros-ec.c' touch the MFD directory.
- ib-extcon-usb-phy-4.14 for removing the deprecated extcon API
because the usb/phy driver usese the deprecated extcon API.
So, this immutable branch alters the extcon API and then
remove them from extcon.
4. Fix minor issue of extcon driver
- Fix the MHL detection on extcon-max77693.c
- Convert to using %pOF instead of full_name on extcon.c
- Add 'const' kerywod for acpi_device_id on extcon-intel-int3496.c

The commit 12e84c71b7d4 ("tty: export tty_open_by_driver") exports
tty_open_by_device to allow tty to be opened from inside kernel which
works fine except that it doesn't handle contention with user space or
another kernel-space open of the same tty. For example, opening a tty
from user space while it is kernel opened results in failure and a
kernel log message about mismatch between tty->count and tty's file
open count.
This patch makes kernel access to tty exclusive, so that if a user
process or kernel opens a kernel opened tty, it gets -EBUSY. It does
this by adding TTY_KOPENED flag to tty->flags. When this flag is set,
tty_open_by_driver returns -EBUSY. Instead of overloading
tty_open_by_driver for both kernel and user space, this
patch creates a separate function tty_kopen which closely follows
tty_open_by_driver. tty_kclose closes the tty opened by tty_kopen.
To address the mismatch between tty->count and #fd's, this patch adds
#kopen's to the count before comparing it with tty->count. That way
check_tty_count reflects correct usage count.
Returning -EBUSY on tty open is a change in the interface. I have
tested this with minicom, picocom and commands like "echo foo >
/dev/ttyS0". They all correctly report "Device or resource busy" when
the tty is already kernel opened.

QCOM BAM also supports command descriptor which allows the SW to
create descriptors of type command which does not generate any
data transmissions but configures registers in the peripheral.
In command descriptor the 32bit address point to the start of
the command block which holds the command elements and the
16bit size define the size of the command block.
Each Command Element is structured by 4 words:
Write command: address + cmd
register data
register mask
reserved
Read command: address + cmd
read data result address,
reserved
reserved
This patch creates a new header file for BAM driver which contains the
structures and wrapper functions for command descriptor. This file will
be used by different QCOM peripheral drivers for forming the command
descriptor

We have a MAX_LFS_FILESIZE macro that is meant to be filled in by
filesystems (and other IO targets) that know they are 64-bit clean and
don't have any 32-bit limits in their IO path.
It turns out that our 32-bit value for that limit was bogus. On 32-bit,
the VM layer is limited by the page cache to only 32-bit index values,
but our logic for that was confusing and actually wrong. We used to
define that value to
(((loff_t)PAGE_SIZE << (BITS_PER_LONG-1))-1)
which is actually odd in several ways: it limits the index to 31 bits,
and then it limits files so that they can't have data in that last byte
of a page that has the highest 31-bit index (ie page index 0x7fffffff).
Neither of those limitations make sense. The index is actually the full
32 bit unsigned value, and we can use that whole full page. So the
maximum size of the file would logically be "PAGE_SIZE << BITS_PER_LONG".
However, we do wan tto avoid the maximum index, because we have code
that iterates over the page indexes, and we don't want that code to
overflow. So the maximum size of a file on a 32-bit host should
actually be one page less than the full 32-bit index.
So the actual limit is ULONG_MAX << PAGE_SHIFT. That means that we will
not actually be using the page of that last index (ULONG_MAX), but we
can grow a file up to that limit.
The wrong value of MAX_LFS_FILESIZE actually caused problems for Doug
Nazar, who was still using a 32-bit host, but with a 9.7TB 2 x RAID5
volume. It turns out that our old MAX_LFS_FILESIZE was 8TiB (well, one
byte less), but the actual true VM limit is one page less than 16TiB.
This was invisible until commit c2a9737f45e2 ("vfs,mm: fix a dead loop
in truncate_inode_pages_range()"), which started applying that
MAX_LFS_FILESIZE limit to block devices too.
NOTE! On 64-bit, the page index isn't a limiter at all, and the limit is
actually just the offset type itself (loff_t), which is signed. But for
clarity, on 64-bit, just use the maximum signed value, and don't make
people have to count the number of 'f' characters in the hex constant.
So just use LLONG_MAX for the 64-bit case. That was what the value had
been before too, just written out as a hex constant.
