bed6f76212 net: cdc_ncm: remove redundant netdev field
Too many pointers back and forth are likely to confuse developers,
creating subtle bugs whenever we forget to syncronize them all.

As a usbnet driver, we should stick with the standard struct
usbnet fields as much as possible.  The netdevice is one such
field.

c1a2e95435 net: cdc_mbim: change the default to send ZLPs
A number of devices in the wild have turned out to require ZLPs.
Even if this is a spec violation, our priority is to make any
device work as good as possible. Devices needing ZLPs will fail
to receive any full sized frame we send. On the other hand,
devices which do not need the ZLP will still work if we send
them.

This gives us no other option than sending ZLPs by default.

This will prevent devices conforming to the spec from making the
optimizations which are possible without ZLPs.  Adding known
such devices to a whitelist, to avoid the possible negative
impact of the new spec violating default.

5b8f15f78e net: cdc_mbim: handle IPv6 Neigbor Solicitations
MBIM is a point-to-point protocol transporting raw IP packets
with no L2 headers. Only IPv4 and IPv6 are supported. ARP in
particular is not, which is quite logical given the lack of
L2 headers.

The driver still emulates an ethernet interface, dropping all
unsupported protocols, and avoiding neigbour resolving by
setting the IFF_NOARP flag.

The MBIM specification does not explicitly forbid IPv6 Neighbor
Discovery, and it seems the other OS support will respond to
Neighbor Solicitations on MBIM links. There are therefore
buggy devices out there, which despite the pointlessness, still
require Neighbor Discovery for IPv6 over MBIM.

This is incompatible with the IFF_NOARP flag which disables
both ARP and ND.  We cannot support ARP in any case, so we
have to keep that flag. This patch implements a workaround
for the buggy devices, letting the driver respond directly
to Neighbor Solicitations from the device.

This is not optimal, but will have minimal effect on any sane
device.

03803a59e3 net: usb: Add HP hs2434 device to ZLP exception table
This patch adds another entry (HP hs2434 Mobile Broadband) to the list
of exceptional devices that require a zero length packet in order to
function properly. This list was added in commit 844e88f0. The hs2434
is manufactured by Sierra Wireless, who also produces the MC7710,
which the ZLP exception list was created for in the first place. So
hopefully it is just this one producer's devices that will need this
workaround.

Tested on a DM1-4310NR HP notebook, which does not function without this
change.

The e{uid,gid} --> {uid,gid} credentials fix conflicted with the
cleanup in net-next to now pass cred structs around.

The be2net driver had a bug fix in 'net' that overlapped with the VLAN
interface changes by Patrick McHardy in net-next.

An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was
reverted, and in 'net-next' there was a comment style fix within that
code.

Several batman-adv conflicts were resolved by making sure that all
calls to batadv_is_my_mac() are changed to have a new bat_priv first
argument.

Eric Dumazet's TS ECR fix in TCP in 'net' conflicted with the F-RTO
rewrite in 'net-next', mostly overlapping changes.

of these merge resolutions.

1e8bbe6cd0 net: cdc_ncm, cdc_mbim: allow user to prefer NCM for backwards compatibility
commit bd329e1 ("net: cdc_ncm: do not bind to NCM compatible MBIM devices")
introduced a new policy, preferring MBIM for dual NCM/MBIM functions if
the cdc_mbim driver was enabled.  This caused a regression for users
wanting to use NCM.

Devices implementing NCM backwards compatibility according to section
3.2 of the MBIM v1.0 specification allow either NCM or MBIM on a single
USB function, using different altsettings.  The cdc_ncm and cdc_mbim
drivers will both probe such functions, and must agree on a common
policy for selecting either MBIM or NCM.  Until now, this policy has
been set at build time based on CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_MBIM.

Use a module parameter to set the system policy at runtime, allowing the
user to prefer NCM on systems with the cdc_mbim driver.

844e88f044 net: cdc_mbim: send ZLP only for the specific buggy device
Reverting 328d7b8 and instead adding an exception for the
Sierra Wireless MC7710.

commit 328d7b8 (net: cdc_mbim: send ZLP after max sized NTBs)
added a workaround for an issue observed on one specific device.
Concerns were raised that this workaround adds a performance
penalty to all devices based on questionable, if not buggy,
behaviour of a single device:

 "If you add ZLP for NTBs of dwNtbOutMaxSize, you are heavily affecting CPU
  load, increasing interrupt load by factor of 2 in high load traffic
  scenario and possibly decreasing throughput for all other devices
  which behaves correctly."

 "The idea of NCM was to avoid extra ZLPs. If your transfer is exactly
  dwNtbOutMaxSize, it's known, you can submit such request on the receiver
  side and you do not need any EOT indicatation, so the frametime can be
  used for useful data."

Adding a device specific exception to prevent the workaround from
affecting well behaved devices.

The assumption here is that needing a ZLP is truly an *exception*.
We do not yet have enough data to verify this.  The generic
workaround in commit 328d7b8 should be considered acceptable despite
the performance penalty if the exception list becomes a maintainance
hassle.

328d7b8a4a net: cdc_mbim: send ZLP after max sized NTBs
We normally avoid sending ZLPs by padding NTBs with a zero byte
if the NTB is shorter than dwNtbOutMaxSize, resulting in a short
USB packet instead of a ZLP.  But in the case where the NTB length
is exactly dwNtbOutMaxSize and this is an exact multiplum of
wMaxPacketSize, then we must send a ZLP.

This fixes an issue seen on a Sierra Wireless MC7710 device
where the transmission would fail whenever we ended up padding
the NTBs to max size.

9f651cace3 net: cdc_mbim: Device Service Stream support
MBIM devices can support up to 256 generic streams called
Device Service Streams (DSS). The MBIM spec says

   The format of the Device Service Stream payload depends
   on the device service (as identified by the corresponding
   UUID) that is used when opening the data stream.

Example use cases are serial AT command interfaces and NMEA
data streams. We cannot make any assumptions about these
device services.

Adding support for Device Service Stream by extending
the MBIM session to VLAN mapping scheme, allocating
VLAN IDs 256 to 511 for DSS, using the DSS SessionID
as the lower 8bit of the VLAN ID.

Using a netdev for DSS keeps the device framing intact and
allows userspace to do whatever it want with the streams.
For example, exporting an AT command interface using DSS
session #0 to a PTY for use with a terminal application like
minicom:

  vconfig add wwan0 256
  ip link set dev wwan0 up
  ip link set dev wwan0.256 up
  socat INTERFACE:wwan0.256,type=2 PTY:,echo=0,link=/tmp/modem

Device configuration must be done using MBIM control commands
over the /dev/cdc-wdmx device. The userspace management
application should coordinate host VLAN configuration and the
device MBIM configuration using the device capabilities to
find out if it needs to set up PTY mappings etc.

a82c7ce5bc net: cdc_ncm: map MBIM IPS SessionID to VLAN ID
MBIM devices can support up to 256 independent IP Streams.
The main network device will only handle SessionID 0. Mapping
SessionIDs 1 to 255 to VLANs using the SessionID as VLAN ID
allow userspace to use these streams with traditional tools
like vconfig.

9bf211a30b net: cdc_mbim: adding MBIM driver
The CDC Mobile Broadband Interface Model (MBIM) specification
extends CDC NCM by
 - removing the redundant ethernet header from the point-to-point
   USB channel
 - adding support for multiple IP (v4 and/or v6) sessions multiplexed
   on the same USB channel
 - adding a MBIM control channel encapsulated in CDC
 - adding Device Service Streams (DSS), which are non IP generic data
   streams multiplexed on the same USB channel as the IP sessions

MBIM devices are managed using the dedicated control channel, and no
data will flow on the data channel until a control session has been
established.  This driver has no knowledge of MBIM control messages.
It just exports the control channel to a /dev/cdc-wdmX character
device for userspace management applications. Such an application is
therefore required to use this driver.

This patch implements basic MBIM support, reusing the NCM and WDM driver
APIs, currently limited to IP sessions with SessionID 0. DSS and
multiplexed IP sessions are not yet supported.
