[ Upstream commit 0983d288caf984de0202c66641577b739caad561 ]

Below is a summary of how the driver stores a reference to an skb during
transmit:
    tx_buff[free_map[consumer_index]]-&gt;skb = new_skb;
    free_map[consumer_index] = IBMVNIC_INVALID_MAP;
    consumer_index ++;
Where variable data looks like this:
    free_map == [4, IBMVNIC_INVALID_MAP, IBMVNIC_INVALID_MAP, 0, 3]
                                               	consumer_index^
    tx_buff == [skb=null, skb=&lt;ptr&gt;, skb=&lt;ptr&gt;, skb=null, skb=null]

The driver has checks to ensure that free_map[consumer_index] pointed to
a valid index but there was no check to ensure that this index pointed
to an unused/null skb address. So, if, by some chance, our free_map and
tx_buff lists become out of sync then we were previously risking an
skb memory leak. This could then cause tcp congestion control to stop
sending packets, eventually leading to ETIMEDOUT.

Therefore, add a conditional to ensure that the skb address is null. If
not then warn the user (because this is still a bug that should be
patched) and free the old pointer to prevent memleak/tcp problems.

<title>ibmvnic: Free any outstanding tx skbs during scrq reset</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dfbe53fd592b9cb58ebc17ca8078e46c354540eb</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 49bbeb5719c2f56907d3a9623b47c6c15c2c431d ]

There are 2 types of outstanding tx skb's:
Type 1: Packets that are sitting in the drivers ind_buff that are
waiting to be batch sent to the NIC. During a device reset, these are
freed with a call to ibmvnic_tx_scrq_clean_buffer()
Type 2: Packets that have been sent to the NIC and are awaiting a TX
completion IRQ. These are free'd during a reset with a call to
clean_tx_pools()

During any reset which requires us to free the tx irq, ensure that the
Type 2 skb references are freed. Since the irq is released, it is
impossible for the NIC to inform of any completions.

Furthermore, later in the reset process is a call to init_tx_pools()
which marks every entry in the tx pool as free (ie not outstanding).
So if the driver is to make a call to init_tx_pools(), it must first
be sure that the tx pool is empty of skb references.

This issue was discovered by observing the following in the logs during
EEH testing:
	TX free map points to untracked skb (tso_pool 0 idx=4)
	TX free map points to untracked skb (tso_pool 0 idx=5)
	TX free map points to untracked skb (tso_pool 1 idx=36)

<content type='text'>
commit 23baf831a32c ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely") has
changed the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive.  This has caused
issues with code that was not yet upstream and depended on the previous
definition.

To draw attention to the altered meaning of the define, rename MAX_ORDER
to MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

<title>ibmvnic: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy</title>

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.

NUL-padding is not required as the buffer is already memset to 0:
|       memset(adapter-&gt;fw_version, 0, 32);

Note that another usage of strscpy exists on the same buffer:
|       strscpy((char *)adapter-&gt;fw_version, "N/A", sizeof(adapter-&gt;fw_version));

Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to
the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer
without unnecessarily NUL-padding.

<title>netdev: replace napi_reschedule with napi_schedule</title>

<content type='text'>
Now that napi_schedule return a bool, we can drop napi_reschedule that
does the same exact function. The function comes from a very old commit
bfe13f54f502 ("ibm_emac: Convert to use napi_struct independent of struct
net_device") and the purpose is actually deprecated in favour of
different logic.

Convert every user of napi_reschedule to napi_schedule.

<content type='text'>
In some OVS environments the TCP pseudo header checksum may need to be
recomputed. Currently this is only done when the interface instance is
configured for "Trunk Mode". We found the issue also occurs in some
Kubernetes environments, these environments do not use "Trunk Mode",
therefor the condition is removed.

Performance tests with this change show only a fractional decrease in
throughput (&lt; 0.2%).

<content type='text'>
The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.
To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new() which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() is renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert these drivers from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.
