924e464f4a can: add a note that RECV_OWN_MSGS frames are subject to filtering
Some parts of the documentation may lead the reader to think that the
socket's own frames are always received when CAN_RAW_RECV_OWN_MSGS is
enabled, but all frames are subject to filtering.

As explained by Marc Kleine-Budde:

On TX complete of a CAN frame it's pushed into the RX path of the
networking stack, along with the information of the originating socket.

Then the CAN frame is delivered into AF_CAN, where it is passed on to
all registered receivers depending on filters. One receiver is the
sending socket in CAN_RAW. Then in CAN_RAW the it is checked if the
sending socket has RECV_OWN_MSGS enabled.

e9377a911d ethtool: add missing EEPROM to list of messages
ETHTOOL_MSG_MODULE_EEPROM_GET is missing from the list of messages.
ETHTOOL_MSG_MODULE_EEPROM_GET_REPLY is sadly a rather long name
so we need to adjust column length.

be85dbfeb3 ethtool: add FEC statistics
Similarly to pause statistics add stats for FEC.

The IEEE standard mandates two sets of counters:
 - 30.5.1.1.17 aFECCorrectedBlocks
 - 30.5.1.1.18 aFECUncorrectableBlocks
where block is a block of bits FEC operates on.
Each of these counters is defined per lane (PCS instance).

Multiple vendors provide number of corrected _bits_ rather
than/as well as blocks.

This set adds the 2 standard-based block counters and a extra
one for corrected bits.

Counters are exposed to user space via netlink in new attributes.
Each attribute carries an array of u64s, first element is
the total count, and the following ones are a per-lane break down.

Much like with pause stats the operation will not fail when driver
does not implement the get_fec_stats callback (nor can the driver
fail the operation by returning an error). If stats can't be
reported the relevant attributes will be empty.

7bf481d7e7 net/mlx5: E-Switch, let user to enable disable metadata
Currently each packet inserted in eswitch is tagged with a internal
metadata to indicate source vport. Metadata tagging is not always
needed. Metadata insertion is needed for multi-port RoCE, failover
between representors and stacked devices. In many other cases,
metadata enablement is not needed.

Metadata insertion slows down the packet processing rate of the E-switch
when it is in switchdev mode.

Below table show performance gain with metadata disabled for VXLAN
offload rules in both SMFS and DMFS steering mode on ConnectX-5 device.

----------------------------------------------
| steering | metadata | pkt size | rx pps    |
| mode     |          |          | (million) |
----------------------------------------------
| smfs     | disabled | 128Bytes | 42        |
----------------------------------------------
| smfs     | enabled  | 128Bytes | 36        |
----------------------------------------------
| dmfs     | disabled | 128Bytes | 42        |
----------------------------------------------
| dmfs     | enabled  | 128Bytes | 36        |
----------------------------------------------

Hence, allow user to disable metadata using driver specific devlink
parameter. Metadata setting of the eswitch is applicable only for the
switchdev mode.

Example to show and disable metadata before changing eswitch mode:
$ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name esw_port_metadata
pci/0000:06:00.0:
  name esw_port_metadata type driver-specific
    values:
      cmode runtime value true

$ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 \
	  name esw_port_metadata value false cmode runtime

$ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:06:00.0 mode switchdev

c781ff12a2 ethtool: Allow network drivers to dump arbitrary EEPROM data
Define get_module_eeprom_by_page() ethtool callback and implement
netlink infrastructure.

get_module_eeprom_by_page() allows network drivers to dump a part of
module's EEPROM specified by page and bank numbers along with offset and
length. It is effectively a netlink replacement for get_module_info()
and get_module_eeprom() pair, which is needed due to emergence of
complex non-linear EEPROM layouts.

514e1150da net: x25: Queue received packets in the drivers instead of per-CPU queues
X.25 Layer 3 (the Packet Layer) expects layer 2 to provide a reliable
datalink service such that no packets are reordered or dropped. And
X.25 Layer 2 (the LAPB layer) is indeed designed to provide such service.

However, this reliability is not preserved when a driver calls "netif_rx"
to deliver the received packets to layer 3, because "netif_rx" will put
the packets into per-CPU queues before they are delivered to layer 3.
If there are multiple CPUs, the order of the packets may not be preserved.
The per-CPU queues may also drop packets if there are too many.

Therefore, we should not call "netif_rx" to let it queue the packets.
Instead, we should use our own queue that won't reorder or drop packets.

This patch changes all X.25 drivers to use their own queues instead of
calling "netif_rx". The patch also documents this requirement in the
"x25-iface" documentation.

a7a80b17c7 net: document a side effect of ip_local_reserved_ports
If there is overlapp between ip_local_port_range and ip_local_reserved_ports with a huge reserved block, it will affect probability of selecting ephemeral ports, see file net/ipv4/inet_hashtables.c:723

    int __inet_hash_connect(
    ...
            for (i = 0; i < remaining; i += 2, port += 2) {
                    if (unlikely(port >= high))
                            port -= remaining;
                    if (inet_is_local_reserved_port(net, port))
                            continue;

    E.g. if there is reserved block of 10000 ports, two ports right after this block will be 5000 more likely selected than others.
    If this was intended, we can/should add note into documentation as proposed in this commit, otherwise we should think about different solution. One option could be mapping table of continuous port ranges. Second option could be letting user to modify step (port+=2) in above loop, e.g. using new sysctl parameter.

1e5d1f69d9 ethtool: support FEC settings over netlink
Add FEC API to netlink.

This is not a 1-to-1 conversion.

FEC settings already depend on link modes to tell user which
modes are supported. Take this further an use link modes for
manual configuration. Old struct ethtool_fecparam is still
used to talk to the drivers, so we need to translate back
and forth. We can revisit the internal API if number of FEC
encodings starts to grow.

Enforce only one active FEC bit (by using a bit position
rather than another mask).

And for good reason, because the "single port", "bridge" and "gateway"

DSA_TAG_PROTO_NONE. So when trying to reference these sections via a

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/dsa/configuration.html#single-port

it will always reference the first occurrence, and never the second one.

On the other hand, there are always more drivers to port, but at this

supported and probably more switch families from various vendors), so
there is nothing actionable to do.

little bit.

bd49fea758 hv_netvsc: Add a comment clarifying batching logic
The batching logic in netvsc_send is non-trivial, due to
a combination of the Linux API and the underlying hypervisor
interface. Add a comment explaining why the code is written this
way.

5d99aa093b Staging/IIO driver patches for 5.12-rc1
Here is the "big" set of staging and IIO driver patches for 5.12-rc1.
 
 Nothing really huge in here, the number of staging tree patches has gone
 down for a bit, maybe there's only so much churn to happen in here at
 the moment.
 
 The IIO changes are:
 	- new drivers
 	- new DT bindings
 	- new iio driver features
 with full details in the shortlog.
 
 The staging driver patches are just a lot of tiny coding style cleanups,
 along with some semi-larger hikey driver cleanups as those are _almost_
 good enough to get out of the staging tree, but will probably have to
 wait until 5.13 to have happen.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues.
