The driver may sleep under a spin lock, and the function call path is:
i40e_ndo_set_vf_port_vlan (acquire the lock by spin_lock_bh)
i40e_vsi_remove_pvid
i40e_vlan_stripping_disable
i40e_aq_update_vsi_params
i40e_asq_send_command
mutex_lock --> may sleep
To fixed it, the spin lock is released before "i40e_vsi_remove_pvid", and
the lock is acquired again after this function.

The ixgbe driver has logic to handle only one Tx timestamp at a time,
using a state bit lock to avoid multiple requests at once.
It may be possible, if incredibly unlikely, that a Tx timestamp event is
requested but never completes. Since we use an interrupt scheme to
determine when the Tx timestamp occurred we would never clear the state
bit in this case.
Add an ixgbe_ptp_tx_hang() function similar to the already existing
ixgbe_ptp_rx_hang() function. This function runs in the watchdog routine
and makes sure we eventually recover from this case instead of
permanently disabling Tx timestamps.
Note: there is no currently known way to cause this without hacking the
driver code to force it.

The ixgbe driver uses a state bit lock to avoid handling more than one Tx
timestamp request at once. This is required because hardware is limited
to a single set of registers for Tx timestamps.
The state bit lock is not properly cleaned up during
ixgbe_xmit_frame_ring() if the transmit fails such as due to DMA or TSO
failure. In some hardware this results in blocking timestamps until the
service task times out. In other hardware this results in a permanent
lock of the timestamp bit because we never receive an interrupt
indicating the timestamp occurred, since indeed the packet was never
transmitted.
Fix this by checking for DMA and TSO errors in ixgbe_xmit_frame_ring() and
properly cleaning up after ourselves when these occur.

Hardware related to the ixgbe driver is limited to handling a single Tx
timestamp request at a time. Thus, the driver ignores requests for Tx
timestamp while waiting for the current request to finish. It uses
a state bit lock which enforces that only one timestamp request is
honored at a time.
Unfortunately this suffers from a simple race condition. The bit lock is
not cleared until after skb_tstamp_tx() is called notifying applications
of a new Tx timestamp. Even a well behaved application sending only one
packet at a time and waiting for a response can wake up and send a new
packet before the bit lock is cleared. This results in needlessly
dropping some Tx timestamp requests.
We can fix this by unlocking the state bit as soon as we read the
Timestamp register, as this is the first point at which it is safe to
unlock.
To avoid issues with the skb pointer, we'll use a copy of the pointer
and set the global variable in the driver structure to NULL first. This
ensures that the next timestamp request does not modify our local copy
of the skb pointer.
This ensures that well behaved applications do not accidentally race
with the unlock bit. Obviously an application which sends multiple Tx
timestamp requests at once will still only timestamp one packet at
a time. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about this.

In preparation for supporting multiple CPU ports, remove
dst->master_netdev and ds->master_netdev and replace them with only one
instance of the common object we have for a port: struct
dsa_port::netdev. ds->master_netdev is currently write only and would be
helpful in the case where we have two switches, both with CPU ports, and
also connected within each other, which the multi-CPU port patch series
would address.
While at it, introduce a helper function used in net/dsa/slave.c to
immediately get a reference on the master network device called
dsa_master_netdev().

The IBM vNIC protocol provides support for the user to initiate
a failover from the client LPAR in case the current backing infrastructure
is deemed inadequate or in an error state.
Support for two H_VIOCTL sub-commands for vNIC devices are required
to implement this function. These commands are H_GET_SESSION_TOKEN
and H_SESSION_ERR_DETECTED.
"[H_GET_SESSION_TOKEN] is used to obtain a session token from a VNIC client
adapter. This token is opaque to the caller and is intended to be used in
tandem with the SESSION_ERROR_DETECTED vioctl subfunction."
"[H_SESSION_ERR_DETECTED] is used to report that the currently active
backing device for a VNIC client adapter is behaving poorly, and that
the hypervisor should attempt to fail over to a different backing device,
if one is available."
To provide tools access to this functionality the vNIC driver creates a
sysfs file that, when written to, will send a request to pHyp to failover
to a different backing device.

On GOP port 0 two MAC modes are available: GMAC and XLG. The XLG MAC is
used for 10G connectivity. This patch adds a basic 10G support by
allowing to use the XLG MAC on port 0 and by reworking the
port_enable/disable functions so that the XLG MAC is configured when
using 10G.
