====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2019-03-04

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Add AF_XDP support to libbpf. Rationale is to facilitate writing
   AF_XDP applications by offering higher-level APIs that hide many
   of the details of the AF_XDP uapi. Sample programs are converted
   over to this new interface as well, from Magnus.

2) Introduce a new cant_sleep() macro for annotation of functions
   that cannot sleep and use it in BPF_PROG_RUN() to assert that
   BPF programs run under preemption disabled context, from Peter.

3) Introduce per BPF prog stats in order to monitor the usage
   of BPF; this is controlled by kernel.bpf_stats_enabled sysctl
   knob where monitoring tools can make use of this to efficiently
   determine the average cost of programs, from Alexei.

4) Split up BPF selftest's test_progs similarly as we already
   did with test_verifier. This allows to further reduce merge
   conflicts in future and to get more structure into our
   quickly growing BPF selftest suite, from Stanislav.

5) Fix a bug in BTF's dedup algorithm which can cause an infinite
   loop in some circumstances; also various BPF doc fixes and
   improvements, from Andrii.

6) Various BPF sample cleanups and migration to libbpf in order
   to further isolate the old sample loader code (so we can get
   rid of it at some point), from Jakub.

7) Add a new BPF helper for BPF cgroup skb progs that allows
   to set ECN CE code point and a Host Bandwidth Manager (HBM)
   sample program for limiting the bandwidth used by v2 cgroups,
   from Lawrence.

8) Enable write access to skb->queue_mapping from tc BPF egress
   programs in order to let BPF pick TX queue, from Jesper.

9) Fix a bug in BPF spinlock handling for map-in-map which did
   not propagate spin_lock_off to the meta map, from Yonghong.

10) Fix a bug in the new per-CPU BPF prog counters to properly
    initialize stats for each CPU, from Eric.

11) Add various BPF helper prototypes to selftest's bpf_helpers.h,
    from Willem.

12) Fix various BPF samples bugs in XDP and tracing progs,
    from Toke, Daniel and Yonghong.

13) Silence preemption splat in test_bpf after BPF_PROG_RUN()
    enforces it now everywhere, from Anders.

14) Fix a signedness bug in libbpf's btf_dedup_ref_type() to
    get error handling working, from Dan.

15) Fix bpftool documentation and auto-completion with regards
    to stream_{verdict,parser} attach types, from Alban.

70f3522614 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Three conflicts, one of which, for marvell10g.c is non-trivial and
requires some follow-up from Heiner or someone else.

The issue is that Heiner converted the marvell10g driver over to
use the generic c45 code as much as possible.

However, in 'net' a bug fix appeared which makes sure that a new
local mask (MDIO_AN_10GBT_CTRL_ADV_NBT_MASK) with value 0x01e0

010c8f01aa net: Get rid of switchdev_port_attr_get()
With the bridge no longer calling switchdev_port_attr_get() to obtain
the supported bridge port flags from a driver but instead trying to set
the bridge port flags directly and relying on driver to reject
unsupported configurations, we can effectively get rid of
switchdev_port_attr_get() entirely since this was the only place where
it was called.

cc0c207a5d net: Remove SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_BRIDGE_FLAGS_SUPPORT
Now that we have converted the bridge code and the drivers to check for
bridge port(s) flags at the time we try to set them, there is no need
for a get() -> set() sequence anymore and
SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_BRIDGE_FLAGS_SUPPORT therefore becomes unused.

3313da8188 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
The netfilter conflicts were rather simple overlapping
changes.

However, the cls_tcindex.c stuff was a bit more complex.

On the 'net' side, Cong is fixing several races and memory
leaks.  Whilst on the 'net-next' side we have Vlad adding
the rtnl-ness support.

What I've decided to do, in order to resolve this, is revert the
conversion over to using a workqueue that Cong did, bringing us back
to pure RCU.  I did it this way because I believe that either Cong's
races don't apply with have Vlad did things, or Cong will have to
implement the race fix slightly differently.

5468e82f70 net: phy: fixed-phy: Drop GPIO from fixed_phy_add()
All users of the fixed_phy_add() pass -1 as GPIO number
to the fixed phy driver, and all users of fixed_phy_register()
pass -1 as GPIO number as well, except for the device
tree MDIO bus.

Any new users should create a proper device and pass the
GPIO as a descriptor associated with the device so delete
the GPIO argument from the calls and drop the code looking
requesting a GPIO in fixed_phy_add().

In fixed phy_register(), investigate the "fixed-link"
node and pick the GPIO descriptor from "link-gpios" if
this property exists. Move the corresponding code out
of of_mdio.c as the fixed phy code anyways requires
OF to be in use.

pull-request: bpf-next 2019-01-29

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Teach verifier dead code removal, this also allows for optimizing /
   removing conditional branches around dead code and to shrink the
   resulting image. Code store constrained architectures like nfp would
   have hard time doing this at JIT level, from Jakub.

2) Add JMP32 instructions to BPF ISA in order to allow for optimizing
   code generation for 32-bit sub-registers. Evaluation shows that this
   can result in code reduction of ~5-20% compared to 64 bit-only code
   generation. Also add implementation for most JITs, from Jiong.

3) Add support for __int128 types in BTF which is also needed for
   vmlinux's BTF conversion to work, from Yonghong.

4) Add a new command to bpftool in order to dump a list of BPF-related
   parameters from the system or for a specific network device e.g. in
   terms of available prog/map types or helper functions, from Quentin.

5) Add AF_XDP sock_diag interface for querying sockets from user
   space which provides information about the RX/TX/fill/completion
   rings, umem, memory usage etc, from Björn.

6) Add skb context access for skb_shared_info->gso_segs field, from Eric.

7) Add support for testing flow dissector BPF programs by extending

8) Split BPF kselftest's test_verifier into various subgroups of tests
   in order better deal with merge conflicts in this area, from Jakub.

9) Add support for queue/stack manipulations in bpftool, from Stanislav.

10) Document BTF, from Yonghong.

11) Dump supported ELF section names in libbpf on program load
    failure, from Taeung.

12) Silence a false positive compiler warning in verifier's BTF

e122d845a0 Revert "rxrpc: Allow failed client calls to be retried"
The changes introduced to allow rxrpc calls to be retried creates an issue
when it comes to refcounting afs_call structs.  The problem is that when
rxrpc_send_data() queues the last packet for an asynchronous call, the
following sequence can occur:

 (1) The notify_end_tx callback is invoked which causes the state in the
     afs_call to be changed from AFS_CALL_CL_REQUESTING or
     AFS_CALL_SV_REPLYING.

 (2) afs_deliver_to_call() can then process event notifications from rxrpc
     on the async_work queue.

 (3) Delivery of events, such as an abort from the server, can cause the
     afs_call state to be changed to AFS_CALL_COMPLETE on async_work.

 (4) For an asynchronous call, afs_process_async_call() notes that the call
     is complete and tried to clean up all the refs on async_work.

 (5) rxrpc_send_data() might return the amount of data transferred
     (success) or an error - which could in turn reflect a local error or a
     received error.

Synchronising the clean up after rxrpc_kernel_send_data() returns an error
with the asynchronous cleanup is then tricky to get right.

Mostly revert commit c038a58ccf.  The two API
functions the original commit added aren't currently used.  This makes
rxrpc_kernel_send_data() always return successfully if it queued the data
it was given.

Note that this doesn't affect synchronous calls since their Rx notification
function merely pokes a wait queue and does not refcounting.  The
asynchronous call notification function *has* to do refcounting and pass a
ref over the work item to avoid the need to sync the workqueue in call
cleanup.
