Commit 406f42fa0d3c ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount
of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look
up. To maintain netdev->dev_addr in this tree we need to make all
the writes to it got through appropriate helpers.
In the case of catc we need a new temporary buffer to conform
to the rules for DMA coherency. That in turn necessitates
a reworking of error handling in probe().

gve: Add jumbo-frame support for GQ
This patchset introduces jumbo-frame support for the GQ queue format.
The device already supports jumbo-frames on TX. This introduces
multi-descriptor RX packets using a packet continuation bit.
A widely deployed driver has a bug with causes it to fail to load
when a MTU greater than 2048 bytes is configured. A jumbo-frame device
option is introduced to pass a jumbo-frame MTU only to drivers that
support it.

A widely deployed driver has a bug that will cause the driver not
to load when a max_mtu > 2048 is present in the device descriptor.
To avoid this bug while still enabling jumbo frames, we present a lower
max_mtu in the device descriptor and pass the actual max_mtu in
a separate device option.
The driver supports 2 different queue formats. To enable features
on one queue format, but not the other, a supported_features mask
was added to the device options in the device descriptor.

This enables the driver to receive RX packets spread across multiple
buffers:
For a given multi-fragment packet the "packet continuation" bit is set
on all descriptors except the last one. These descriptors' payloads are
combined into a single SKB before the SKB is handed to the
networking stack.
This change adds a "packet buffer size" notion for RX queues. The
CreateRxQueue AdminQueue command sent to the device now includes the
packet_buffer_size.
We opt for a packet_buffer_size of PAGE_SIZE / 2 to give the
driver the opportunity to flip pages where we can instead of copying.

selftests: mlxsw: Various updates
This patchset contains various updates to mlxsw selftests.
Patch #1 replaces open-coded compatibility checks with dedicated
helpers. These helpers are used to skip tests when run on incompatible
machines.
Patch #2 avoids spurious failures in some tests by using permanent
neighbours instead of reachable ones.
Patch #3 reduces the run time of a test by not iterating over all the
available trap policers.

Instead of iterating over all the available trap policers, only perform
the tests with three policers: The first, the last and the one in the

The nexthop objects tests configure dummy reachable neighbours so that
the nexthops will have a MAC address and be programmed to the device.
Since these are dummy reachable neighbours, they can be transitioned by
the kernel to a failed state if they are around for too long. This can
happen, for example, if the "TIMEOUT" variable is configured with a too
high value.
Make the tests more robust by configuring the neighbours as permanent,
so that the tests do not depend on the configured timeout value.

A number of mlxsw-specific selftests currently detect whether they are run
on a compatible machine, and bail out silently when not. These tests are
however done in a somewhat impenetrable manner by directly comparing PCI
IDs against a blacklist or a whitelist, and bailing out silently if the
machine is not compatible.
Instead, add a helper, mlxsw_only_on_spectrum(), which allows specifying
the supported machines in a human-readable manner. If the current machine
is incompatible, the helper emits a SKIP message and returns an error code,
based on which the caller can gracefully bail out in a suitable way. This
allows a more readable conditions such as:
mlxsw_only_on_spectrum 2+ || return
Convert all existing open-coded guards to the new helper. Also add two new
guards to do_mark_test() and do_drop_test(), which are supported only on
Spectrum-2+, but the corresponding check was not there.

The mac statistics add pause/pfc durations in device version V3, we can
get total active cycle of pause/pfc from these durations.
As driver gets register number from firmware to calculate desc number to
query mac statistics, it needs to set mac statistics extended enable bit
in firmware command 0x701A to tell firmware that driver supports extended
mac statistics, otherwise firmware only returns register number of
version V1.
As pause/pfc durations are not supported by hardware of old version, they
should not been shown in command "ethtool -S ethX" in this case, so add
checking max register number of each mac statistic in their version.
If the max register number of one mac statistic is greater than register
number got from firmware, it means hardware does not support this mac
statistic, so ignore this statistic when get string and data of mac
statistic.

After querying mac statistics from firmware, driver copies data from
descriptors to struct mac_stats of hdev, and the number of copied data
is just according to the register number queried from firmware. There is
a problem that if the register number queried from firmware is larger
than data number of struct mac_stats, it will cause a copy overflow.
So if the firmware adds more mac statistics in later version, it is not
compatible with driver of old version.
To fix this problem, the number of copied data needs to be used the
minimum value between the register number queried from firmware and
data number of struct mac_stats.
The first descriptor has three data and there is one reserved, to
optimize the copy process, add this reserverd data to struct mac_stats.

Drop rtnl_lock from DSA .port_fdb_{add,del}
As mentioned in the RFC posted 2 months ago:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/cover/20210824114049.3814660-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/
DSA is transitioning to a driver API where the rtnl_lock is not held
when calling ds->ops->port_fdb_add() and ds->ops->port_fdb_del().
Drivers cannot take that lock privately from those callbacks either.
This change is required so that DSA can wait for switchdev FDB work
items to finish before leaving the bridge. That change will be made in a
future patch series.
A small selftest is provided with the patch set in the hope that
concurrency issues uncovered by this series, but not spotted by me by
code inspection, will be caught.
A status of the existing drivers:
- mv88e6xxx_port_fdb_add() and mv88e6xxx_port_fdb_del() take
mv88e6xxx_reg_lock() so they should be safe.
- qca8k_fdb_add() and qca8k_fdb_del() take mutex_lock(&priv->reg_mutex)
so they should be safe.
- hellcreek_fdb_add() and hellcreek_fdb_add() take mutex_lock(&hellcreek->reg_lock)
so they should be safe.
- ksz9477_port_fdb_add() and ksz9477_port_fdb_del() take mutex_lock(&dev->alu_mutex)
so they should be safe.
- b53_fdb_add() and b53_fdb_del() did not have locking, so I've added a
scheme based on my own judgement there (not tested).
- felix_fdb_add() and felix_fdb_del() did not have locking, I've added
and tested a locking scheme there.
- mt7530_port_fdb_add() and mt7530_port_fdb_del() take
mutex_lock(&priv->reg_mutex), so they should be safe.
- gswip_port_fdb() did not have locking, so I've added a non-expert
locking scheme based on my own judgement (not tested).
- lan9303_alr_add_port() and lan9303_alr_del_port() take
mutex_lock(&chip->alr_mutex) so they should be safe.
- sja1105_fdb_add() and sja1105_fdb_del() did not have locking, I've
added and tested a locking scheme.
Changes in v3:
Unlock arl_mutex only once in b53_fdb_dump().
Changes in v4:
- Use __must_hold in ocelot and b53
- Add missing mutex_init in lantiq_gswip
- Clean up the selftest a bit.
Changes in v5:
- Replace __must_hold with a comment.
- Add a new patch (01/10).

This test is a bit strange in that it is perhaps more manual than
others: it does not transmit a clear OK/FAIL verdict, because user space
does not have synchronous feedback from the kernel. If a hardware access
fails, it is in deferred context.
Nonetheless, on sja1105 I have used it successfully to find and solve a
concurrency issue, so it can be used as a starting point for other
driver maintainers too.

These programs are useful, but not all selftests require them.
Additionally, on embedded boards without package management (things like
buildroot), installing mausezahn or jq is not always as trivial as
downloading a package from the web.
So it is actually a bit annoying to require programs that are not used.
Introduce options that can be set by scripts to not enforce these
dependencies. For compatibility, default to "yes".

The reason why it was probably added by Arkadi Sharshevsky in commit
c9eb3e0f8701 ("net: dsa: Add support for learning FDB through
notification") was to offer the same locking/serialization guarantees as
.ndo_fdb_{add,del} and avoid reworking any drivers.
DSA has implemented .ndo_fdb_add and .ndo_fdb_del until commit
b117e1e8a86d ("net: dsa: delete dsa_legacy_fdb_add and
dsa_legacy_fdb_del") - that is to say, until fairly recently.
But those methods have been deleted, so now we are free to drop the
rtnl_lock as well.
Note that exposing DSA switch drivers to an unlocked method which was
previously serialized by the rtnl_mutex is a potentially dangerous
affair. Driver writers couldn't ensure that their internal locking
scheme does the right thing even if they wanted.
We could err on the side of paranoia and introduce a switch-wide lock
inside the DSA framework, but that seems way overreaching. Instead, we
could check as many drivers for regressions as we can, fix those first,
then let this change go in once it is assumed to be fairly safe.
