Pull networking updates from David Miller: "Highlights: - Gustavo A. R. Silva keeps working on the implicit switch fallthru changes. - Support 802.11ax High-Efficiency wireless in cfg80211 et al, From Luca Coelho. - Re-enable ASPM in r8169, from Kai-Heng Feng. - Add virtual XFRM interfaces, which avoids all of the limitations of existing IPSEC tunnels. From Steffen Klassert. - Convert GRO over to use a hash table, so that when we have many flows active we don't traverse a long list during accumluation. - Many new self tests for routing, TC, tunnels, etc. Too many contributors to mention them all, but I'm really happy to keep seeing this stuff. - Hardware timestamping support for dpaa_eth/fsl-fman from Yangbo Lu. - Lots of cleanups and fixes in L2TP code from Guillaume Nault. - Add IPSEC offload support to netdevsim, from Shannon Nelson. - Add support for slotting with non-uniform distribution to netem packet scheduler, from Yousuk Seung. - Add UDP GSO support to mlx5e, from Boris Pismenny. - Support offloading of Team LAG in NFP, from John Hurley. - Allow to configure TX queue selection based upon RX queue, from Amritha Nambiar. - Support ethtool ring size configuration in aquantia, from Anton Mikaev. - Support DSCP and flowlabel per-transport in SCTP, from Xin Long. - Support list based batching and stack traversal of SKBs, this is very exciting work. From Edward Cree. - Busyloop optimizations in vhost_net, from Toshiaki Makita. - Introduce the ETF qdisc, which allows time based transmissions. IGB can offload this in hardware. From Vinicius Costa Gomes. - Add parameter support to devlink, from Moshe Shemesh. - Several multiplication and division optimizations for BPF JIT in nfp driver, from Jiong Wang. - Lots of prepatory work to make more of the packet scheduler layer lockless, when possible, from Vlad Buslov. - Add ACK filter and NAT awareness to sch_cake packet scheduler, from Toke Høiland-Jørgensen. - Support regions and region snapshots in devlink, from Alex Vesker. - Allow to attach XDP programs to both HW and SW at the same time on a given device, with initial support in nfp. From Jakub Kicinski. - Add TLS RX offload and support in mlx5, from Ilya Lesokhin. - Use PHYLIB in r8169 driver, from Heiner Kallweit. - All sorts of changes to support Spectrum 2 in mlxsw driver, from Ido Schimmel. - PTP support in mv88e6xxx DSA driver, from Andrew Lunn. - Make TCP_USER_TIMEOUT socket option more accurate, from Jon Maxwell. - Support for templates in packet scheduler classifier, from Jiri Pirko. - IPV6 support in RDS, from Ka-Cheong Poon. - Native tproxy support in nf_tables, from Máté Eckl. - Maintain IP fragment queue in an rbtree, but optimize properly for in-order frags. From Peter Oskolkov. - Improvde handling of ACKs on hole repairs, from Yuchung Cheng" * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1996 commits) bpf: test: fix spelling mistake "REUSEEPORT" -> "REUSEPORT" hv/netvsc: Fix NULL dereference at single queue mode fallback net: filter: mark expected switch fall-through xen-netfront: fix warn message as irq device name has '/' cxgb4: Add new T5 PCI device ids 0x50af and 0x50b0 net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: missing unlock on error path rds: fix building with IPV6=m inet/connection_sock: prefer _THIS_IP_ to current_text_addr net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: bitwise vs logical bug net: sock_diag: Fix spectre v1 gadget in __sock_diag_cmd() ieee802154: hwsim: using right kind of iteration net: hns3: Add vlan filter setting by ethtool command -K net: hns3: Set tx ring' tc info when netdev is up net: hns3: Remove tx ring BD len register in hns3_enet net: hns3: Fix desc num set to default when setting channel net: hns3: Fix for phy link issue when using marvell phy driver net: hns3: Fix for information of phydev lost problem when down/up net: hns3: Fix for command format parsing error in hclge_is_all_function_id_zero net: hns3: Add support for serdes loopback selftest bnxt_en: take coredump_record structure off stack ...

+Realtek SMI-based Switches
+==========================
+
+The SMI "Simple Management Interface" is a two-wire protocol using
+bit-banged GPIO that while it reuses the MDIO lines MCK and MDIO does
+not use the MDIO protocol. This binding defines how to specify the
+SMI-based Realtek devices.
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible: must be exactly one of:
+ "realtek,rtl8366"
+ "realtek,rtl8366rb" (4+1 ports)
+ "realtek,rtl8366s" (4+1 ports)
+ "realtek,rtl8367"
+ "realtek,rtl8367b"
+ "realtek,rtl8368s" (8 port)
+ "realtek,rtl8369"
+ "realtek,rtl8370" (8 port)
+
+Required properties:
+- mdc-gpios: GPIO line for the MDC clock line.
+- mdio-gpios: GPIO line for the MDIO data line.
+- reset-gpios: GPIO line for the reset signal.
+
+Optional properties:
+- realtek,disable-leds: if the LED drivers are not used in the
+ hardware design this will disable them so they are not turned on
+ and wasting power.
+
+Required subnodes:
+
+- interrupt-controller
+
+ This defines an interrupt controller with an IRQ line (typically
+ a GPIO) that will demultiplex and handle the interrupt from the single
+ interrupt line coming out of one of the SMI-based chips. It most
+ importantly provides link up/down interrupts to the PHY blocks inside
+ the ASIC.
+
+Required properties of interrupt-controller:
+
+- interrupt: parent interrupt, see interrupt-controller/interrupts.txt
+- interrupt-controller: see interrupt-controller/interrupts.txt
+- #address-cells: should be <0>
+- #interrupt-cells: should be <1>
+
+- mdio
+
+ This defines the internal MDIO bus of the SMI device, mostly for the
+ purpose of being able to hook the interrupts to the right PHY and
+ the right PHY to the corresponding port.
+
+Required properties of mdio:
+
+- compatible: should be set to "realtek,smi-mdio" for all SMI devices
+
+See net/mdio.txt for additional MDIO bus properties.
+
+See net/dsa/dsa.txt for a list of additional required and optional properties
+and subnodes of DSA switches.
+
+Examples:

+ compatible = "realtek,rtl8366rb";

+IP-Aliasing
+===========
+
+IP-aliases are an obsolete way to manage multiple IP-addresses/masks
+per interface. Newer tools such as iproute2 support multiple
+address/prefixes per interface, but aliases are still supported
+for backwards compatibility.
+
+An alias is formed by adding a colon and a string when running ifconfig.
+This string is usually numeric, but this is not a must.
+
+
+Alias creation
+==============
+
+Alias creation is done by 'magic' interface naming: eg. to create a
+200.1.1.1 alias for eth0 ...
+::
+
+ # ifconfig eth0:0 200.1.1.1 etc,etc....
+ ~~ -> request alias #0 creation (if not yet exists) for eth0
+
+The corresponding route is also set up by this command. Please note:
+The route always points to the base interface.
+
+
+Alias deletion
+==============
+
+The alias is removed by shutting the alias down::
+
+ # ifconfig eth0:0 down
+ ~~~~~~~~~~ -> will delete alias
+
+
+Alias (re-)configuring
+======================
+
+Aliases are not real devices, but programs should be able to configure
+and refer to them as usual (ifconfig, route, etc).
+
+
+Relationship with main device
+=============================
+
+If the base device is shut down the added aliases will be deleted too.

+=================
+The UCAN Protocol
+=================
+
+UCAN is the protocol used by the microcontroller-based USB-CAN
+adapter that is integrated on System-on-Modules from Theobroma Systems
+and that is also available as a standalone USB stick.
+
+The UCAN protocol has been designed to be hardware-independent.
+It is modeled closely after how Linux represents CAN devices
+internally. All multi-byte integers are encoded as Little Endian.
+
+All structures mentioned in this document are defined in
+``drivers/net/can/usb/ucan.c``.
+
+USB Endpoints
+=============
+
+UCAN devices use three USB endpoints:
+
+CONTROL endpoint
+ The driver sends device management commands on this endpoint
+
+IN endpoint
+ The device sends CAN data frames and CAN error frames
+
+OUT endpoint
+ The driver sends CAN data frames on the out endpoint
+
+
+CONTROL Messages
+================
+
+UCAN devices are configured using vendor requests on the control pipe.
+
+To support multiple CAN interfaces in a single USB device all
+configuration commands target the corresponding interface in the USB
+descriptor.
+
+The driver uses ``ucan_ctrl_command_in/out`` and
+``ucan_device_request_in`` to deliver commands to the device.
+
+Setup Packet

+
+IN Message Format
+=================
+
+A data packet on the USB IN endpoint contains one or more
+``ucan_message_in`` values. If multiple messages are batched in a USB
+data packet, the ``len`` field can be used to jump to the next
+``ucan_message_in`` value (take care to sanity-check the ``len`` value
+against the actual data size).
+
+.. _can_ucan_in_message_len:
+
+``len`` field
+-------------
+
+Each ``ucan_message_in`` must be aligned to a 4-byte boundary (relative
+to the start of the start of the data buffer). That means that there
+may be padding bytes between multiple ``ucan_message_in`` values:
+
+.. code::
+
+ +----------------------------+ < 0
+ | |
+ | struct ucan_message_in |
+ | |
+ +----------------------------+ < len
+ [padding]
+ +----------------------------+ < round_up(len, 4)
+ | |
+ | struct ucan_message_in |
+ | |
+ +----------------------------+
+ [...]
+
+``type`` field
+--------------
+
+The ``type`` field specifies the type of the message.
+
+UCAN_IN_RX
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``subtype``
+ zero
+
+Data received from the CAN bus (ID + payload).
+
+UCAN_IN_TX_COMPLETE
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``subtype``
+ zero
+
+The CAN device has sent a message to the CAN bus. It answers with a
+list of of tuples <echo-ids, flags>.
+
+The echo-id identifies the frame from (echos the id from a previous
+UCAN_OUT_TX message). The flag indicates the result of the
+transmission. Whereas a set Bit 0 indicates success. All other bits
+are reserved and set to zero.
+
+Flow Control
+------------
+
+When receiving CAN messages there is no flow control on the USB
+buffer. The driver has to handle inbound message quickly enough to
+avoid drops. I case the device buffer overflow the condition is
+reported by sending corresponding error frames (see
+:ref:`can_ucan_error_handling`)
+
+
+OUT Message Format
+==================
+
+A data packet on the USB OUT endpoint contains one or more ``struct
+ucan_message_out`` values. If multiple messages are batched into one
+data packet, the device uses the ``len`` field to jump to the next
+ucan_message_out value. Each ucan_message_out must be aligned to 4
+bytes (relative to the start of the data buffer). The mechanism is
+same as described in :ref:`can_ucan_in_message_len`.
+
+.. code::
+
+ +----------------------------+ < 0
+ | |
+ | struct ucan_message_out |
+ | |
+ +----------------------------+ < len
+ [padding]
+ +----------------------------+ < round_up(len, 4)
+ | |
+ | struct ucan_message_out |
+ | |
+ +----------------------------+
+ [...]
+
+``type`` field
+--------------
+
+In protocol version 3 only ``UCAN_OUT_TX`` is defined, others are used
+only by legacy devices (protocol version 1).
+
+UCAN_OUT_TX
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+``subtype``
+ echo id to be replied within a CAN_IN_TX_COMPLETE message
+
+Transmit a CAN frame. (parameters: ``id``, ``data``)
+
+Flow Control
+------------
+
+When the device outbound buffers are full it starts sending *NAKs* on
+the *OUT* pipe until more buffers are available. The driver stops the
+queue when a certain threshold of out packets are incomplete.
+
+.. _can_ucan_error_handling:
+
+CAN Error Handling
+==================
+
+If error reporting is turned on the device encodes errors into CAN
+error frames (see ``uapi/linux/can/error.h``) and sends it using the
+IN endpoint. The driver updates its error statistics and forwards
+it.
+
+Although UCAN devices can suppress error frames completely, in Linux
+the driver is always interested. Hence, the device is always started with
+the ``UCAN_MODE_BERR_REPORT`` set. Filtering those messages for the
+user space is done by the driver.
+
+Bus OFF
+-------
+
+- The device does not recover from bus of automatically.
+- Bus OFF is indicated by an error frame (see ``uapi/linux/can/error.h``)
+- Bus OFF recovery is started by ``UCAN_COMMAND_RESTART``
+- Once Bus OFF recover is completed the device sends an error frame
+ indicating that it is on ERROR-ACTIVE state.
+- During Bus OFF no frames are sent by the device.
+- During Bus OFF transmission requests from the host are completed
+ immediately with the success bit left unset.
+
+Example Conversation
+====================
+
+#) Device is connected to USB
+#) Host sends command ``UCAN_COMMAND_RESET``, subcmd 0
+#) Host sends command ``UCAN_COMMAND_GET``, subcmd ``UCAN_COMMAND_GET_INFO``
+#) Device sends ``UCAN_IN_DEVICE_INFO``

+netdev FAQ
+==========
+
+Q: What is netdev?
+------------------
+A: It is a mailing list for all network-related Linux stuff. This
+includes anything found under net/ (i.e. core code like IPv6) and
+drivers/net (i.e. hardware specific drivers) in the Linux source tree.
+
+Note that some subsystems (e.g. wireless drivers) which have a high
+volume of traffic have their own specific mailing lists.
+
+The netdev list is managed (like many other Linux mailing lists) through
+VGER (http://vger.kernel.org/) and archives can be found below:
+
+- http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev
+- http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/
+
+Aside from subsystems like that mentioned above, all network-related
+Linux development (i.e. RFC, review, comments, etc.) takes place on
+netdev.
+
+Q: How do the changes posted to netdev make their way into Linux?
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
+A: There are always two trees (git repositories) in play. Both are
+driven by David Miller, the main network maintainer. There is the
+``net`` tree, and the ``net-next`` tree. As you can probably guess from
+the names, the ``net`` tree is for fixes to existing code already in the
+mainline tree from Linus, and ``net-next`` is where the new code goes
+for the future release. You can find the trees here:
+
+- https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git
+- https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git
+
+Q: How often do changes from these trees make it to the mainline Linus tree?
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+A: To understand this, you need to know a bit of background information on
+the cadence of Linux development. Each new release starts off with a
+two week "merge window" where the main maintainers feed their new stuff
+to Linus for merging into the mainline tree. After the two weeks, the
+merge window is closed, and it is called/tagged ``-rc1``. No new
+features get mainlined after this -- only fixes to the rc1 content are
+expected. After roughly a week of collecting fixes to the rc1 content,
+rc2 is released. This repeats on a roughly weekly basis until rc7
+(typically; sometimes rc6 if things are quiet, or rc8 if things are in a
+state of churn), and a week after the last vX.Y-rcN was done, the
+official vX.Y is released.
+
+Relating that to netdev: At the beginning of the 2-week merge window,
+the ``net-next`` tree will be closed - no new changes/features. The
+accumulated new content of the past ~10 weeks will be passed onto
+mainline/Linus via a pull request for vX.Y -- at the same time, the
+``net`` tree will start accumulating fixes for this pulled content
+relating to vX.Y
+
+An announcement indicating when ``net-next`` has been closed is usually
+sent to netdev, but knowing the above, you can predict that in advance.
+
+IMPORTANT: Do not send new ``net-next`` content to netdev during the
+period during which ``net-next`` tree is closed.
+
+Shortly after the two weeks have passed (and vX.Y-rc1 is released), the
+tree for ``net-next`` reopens to collect content for the next (vX.Y+1)
+release.
+
+If you aren't subscribed to netdev and/or are simply unsure if
+``net-next`` has re-opened yet, simply check the ``net-next`` git
+repository link above for any new networking-related commits. You may
+also check the following website for the current status:
+
+ http://vger.kernel.org/~davem/net-next.html
+
+The ``net`` tree continues to collect fixes for the vX.Y content, and is
+fed back to Linus at regular (~weekly) intervals. Meaning that the
+focus for ``net`` is on stabilization and bug fixes.
+
+Finally, the vX.Y gets released, and the whole cycle starts over.
+
+Q: So where are we now in this cycle?
+
+Load the mainline (Linus) page here:
+
+ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
+
+and note the top of the "tags" section. If it is rc1, it is early in
+the dev cycle. If it was tagged rc7 a week ago, then a release is
+probably imminent.
+
+Q: How do I indicate which tree (net vs. net-next) my patch should be in?
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+A: Firstly, think whether you have a bug fix or new "next-like" content.
+Then once decided, assuming that you use git, use the prefix flag, i.e.
+::
+
+ git format-patch --subject-prefix='PATCH net-next' start..finish
+
+Use ``net`` instead of ``net-next`` (always lower case) in the above for
+bug-fix ``net`` content. If you don't use git, then note the only magic
+in the above is just the subject text of the outgoing e-mail, and you
+can manually change it yourself with whatever MUA you are comfortable
+with.
+
+Q: I sent a patch and I'm wondering what happened to it?
+--------------------------------------------------------
+Q: How can I tell whether it got merged?
+A: Start by looking at the main patchworks queue for netdev:
+
+ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/
+
+The "State" field will tell you exactly where things are at with your
+patch.
+
+Q: The above only says "Under Review". How can I find out more?
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+A: Generally speaking, the patches get triaged quickly (in less than
+48h). So be patient. Asking the maintainer for status updates on your
+patch is a good way to ensure your patch is ignored or pushed to the
+bottom of the priority list.
+
+Q: I submitted multiple versions of the patch series
+----------------------------------------------------
+Q: should I directly update patchwork for the previous versions of these
+patch series?
+A: No, please don't interfere with the patch status on patchwork, leave
+it to the maintainer to figure out what is the most recent and current
+version that should be applied. If there is any doubt, the maintainer
+will reply and ask what should be done.
+
+Q: How can I tell what patches are queued up for backporting to the various stable releases?
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+A: Normally Greg Kroah-Hartman collects stable commits himself, but for
+networking, Dave collects up patches he deems critical for the
+networking subsystem, and then hands them off to Greg.
+
+There is a patchworks queue that you can see here:
+
+ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/davem/stable/?state=*
+
+It contains the patches which Dave has selected, but not yet handed off
+to Greg. If Greg already has the patch, then it will be here:
+
+ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git
+
+A quick way to find whether the patch is in this stable-queue is to
+simply clone the repo, and then git grep the mainline commit ID, e.g.
+::
+
+ stable-queue$ git grep -l 284041ef21fdf2e
+ releases/3.0.84/ipv6-fix-possible-crashes-in-ip6_cork_release.patch
+ releases/3.4.51/ipv6-fix-possible-crashes-in-ip6_cork_release.patch
+ releases/3.9.8/ipv6-fix-possible-crashes-in-ip6_cork_release.patch
+ stable/stable-queue$
+
+Q: I see a network patch and I think it should be backported to stable.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+Q: Should I request it via stable@vger.kernel.org like the references in
+the kernel's Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst file say?
+A: No, not for networking. Check the stable queues as per above first
+to see if it is already queued. If not, then send a mail to netdev,
+listing the upstream commit ID and why you think it should be a stable
+candidate.
+
+Before you jump to go do the above, do note that the normal stable rules
+in :ref:`Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst <stable_kernel_rules>`
+still apply. So you need to explicitly indicate why it is a critical
+fix and exactly what users are impacted. In addition, you need to
+convince yourself that you *really* think it has been overlooked,
+vs. having been considered and rejected.
+
+Generally speaking, the longer it has had a chance to "soak" in
+mainline, the better the odds that it is an OK candidate for stable. So
+scrambling to request a commit be added the day after it appears should
+be avoided.
+
+Q: I have created a network patch and I think it should be backported to stable.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Q: Should I add a Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org like the references in the
+kernel's Documentation/ directory say?
+A: No. See above answer. In short, if you think it really belongs in
+stable, then ensure you write a decent commit log that describes who
+gets impacted by the bug fix and how it manifests itself, and when the
+bug was introduced. If you do that properly, then the commit will get
+handled appropriately and most likely get put in the patchworks stable
+queue if it really warrants it.
+
+If you think there is some valid information relating to it being in
+stable that does *not* belong in the commit log, then use the three dash
+marker line as described in
+:ref:`Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst <the_canonical_patch_format>`
+to temporarily embed that information into the patch that you send.
+
+Q: Are all networking bug fixes backported to all stable releases?
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+A: Due to capacity, Dave could only take care of the backports for the
+last two stable releases. For earlier stable releases, each stable
+branch maintainer is supposed to take care of them. If you find any
+patch is missing from an earlier stable branch, please notify
+stable@vger.kernel.org with either a commit ID or a formal patch
+backported, and CC Dave and other relevant networking developers.
+
+Q: Is the comment style convention different for the networking content?
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+A: Yes, in a largely trivial way. Instead of this::
+
+ /*
+ * foobar blah blah blah
+ * another line of text
+ */
+
+it is requested that you make it look like this::
+
+ /* foobar blah blah blah
+ * another line of text
+ */
+
+Q: I am working in existing code that has the former comment style and not the latter.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Q: Should I submit new code in the former style or the latter?
+A: Make it the latter style, so that eventually all code in the domain
+of netdev is of this format.
+
+Q: I found a bug that might have possible security implications or similar.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Q: Should I mail the main netdev maintainer off-list?**
+A: No. The current netdev maintainer has consistently requested that
+people use the mailing lists and not reach out directly. If you aren't
+OK with that, then perhaps consider mailing security@kernel.org or
+reading about http://oss-security.openwall.org/wiki/mailing-lists/distros
+as possible alternative mechanisms.
+
+Q: What level of testing is expected before I submit my change?
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+A: If your changes are against ``net-next``, the expectation is that you
+have tested by layering your changes on top of ``net-next``. Ideally
+you will have done run-time testing specific to your change, but at a
+minimum, your changes should survive an ``allyesconfig`` and an
+``allmodconfig`` build without new warnings or failures.
+
+Q: Any other tips to help ensure my net/net-next patch gets OK'd?
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
+A: Attention to detail. Re-read your own work as if you were the
+reviewer. You can start with using ``checkpatch.pl``, perhaps even with
+the ``--strict`` flag. But do not be mindlessly robotic in doing so.
+If your change is a bug fix, make sure your commit log indicates the
+end-user visible symptom, the underlying reason as to why it happens,
+and then if necessary, explain why the fix proposed is the best way to
+get things done. Don't mangle whitespace, and as is common, don't
+mis-indent function arguments that span multiple lines. If it is your
+first patch, mail it to yourself so you can test apply it to an
+unpatched tree to confirm infrastructure didn't mangle it.
+
+Finally, go back and read
+:ref:`Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst <submittingpatches>`
+to be sure you are not repeating some common mistake documented there.

- bug-fix net content. If you don't use git, then note the only magic in
- the above is just the subject text of the outgoing e-mail, and you can
- manually change it yourself with whatever MUA you are comfortable with.
-
-Q: I sent a patch and I'm wondering what happened to it. How can I tell
- whether it got merged?
-
-A: Start by looking at the main patchworks queue for netdev:
-
- http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/
-
- The "State" field will tell you exactly where things are at with
- your patch.
-
-Q: The above only says "Under Review". How can I find out more?
-
-A: Generally speaking, the patches get triaged quickly (in less than 48h).
- So be patient. Asking the maintainer for status updates on your
- patch is a good way to ensure your patch is ignored or pushed to
- the bottom of the priority list.
-
-Q: I submitted multiple versions of the patch series, should I directly update
- patchwork for the previous versions of these patch series?
-
-A: No, please don't interfere with the patch status on patchwork, leave it to
- the maintainer to figure out what is the most recent and current version that
- should be applied. If there is any doubt, the maintainer will reply and ask
- what should be done.
-
-Q: How can I tell what patches are queued up for backporting to the
- various stable releases?
-
-A: Normally Greg Kroah-Hartman collects stable commits himself, but
- for networking, Dave collects up patches he deems critical for the
- networking subsystem, and then hands them off to Greg.
-
- There is a patchworks queue that you can see here:
- http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/davem/stable/?state=*
-
- It contains the patches which Dave has selected, but not yet handed
- off to Greg. If Greg already has the patch, then it will be here:
- https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git
-
- A quick way to find whether the patch is in this stable-queue is
- to simply clone the repo, and then git grep the mainline commit ID, e.g.
-
- stable-queue$ git grep -l 284041ef21fdf2e
- releases/3.0.84/ipv6-fix-possible-crashes-in-ip6_cork_release.patch
- releases/3.4.51/ipv6-fix-possible-crashes-in-ip6_cork_release.patch
- releases/3.9.8/ipv6-fix-possible-crashes-in-ip6_cork_release.patch
- stable/stable-queue$
-
-Q: I see a network patch and I think it should be backported to stable.
- Should I request it via "stable@vger.kernel.org" like the references in
- the kernel's Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst file say?
-
-A: No, not for networking. Check the stable queues as per above 1st to see
- if it is already queued. If not, then send a mail to netdev, listing
- the upstream commit ID and why you think it should be a stable candidate.
-
- Before you jump to go do the above, do note that the normal stable rules
- in Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst still apply. So you need to
- explicitly indicate why it is a critical fix and exactly what users are
- impacted. In addition, you need to convince yourself that you _really_
- think it has been overlooked, vs. having been considered and rejected.
-
- Generally speaking, the longer it has had a chance to "soak" in mainline,
- the better the odds that it is an OK candidate for stable. So scrambling
- to request a commit be added the day after it appears should be avoided.
-
-Q: I have created a network patch and I think it should be backported to
- stable. Should I add a "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" like the references
- in the kernel's Documentation/ directory say?
-
-A: No. See above answer. In short, if you think it really belongs in
- stable, then ensure you write a decent commit log that describes who
- gets impacted by the bugfix and how it manifests itself, and when the
- bug was introduced. If you do that properly, then the commit will
- get handled appropriately and most likely get put in the patchworks
- stable queue if it really warrants it.
-
- If you think there is some valid information relating to it being in
- stable that does _not_ belong in the commit log, then use the three
- dash marker line as described in Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst to
- temporarily embed that information into the patch that you send.
-
-Q: Are all networking bug fixes backported to all stable releases?
-
-A: Due to capacity, Dave could only take care of the backports for the last
- 2 stable releases. For earlier stable releases, each stable branch maintainer
- is supposed to take care of them. If you find any patch is missing from an
- earlier stable branch, please notify stable@vger.kernel.org with either a
- commit ID or a formal patch backported, and CC Dave and other relevant
- networking developers.
-
-Q: Someone said that the comment style and coding convention is different
- for the networking content. Is this true?
-
-A: Yes, in a largely trivial way. Instead of this:
-
- /*
- * foobar blah blah blah
- * another line of text
- */
-
- it is requested that you make it look like this:
-
- /* foobar blah blah blah
- * another line of text
- */
-
-Q: I am working in existing code that has the former comment style and not the
- latter. Should I submit new code in the former style or the latter?
-
-A: Make it the latter style, so that eventually all code in the domain of
- netdev is of this format.
-
-Q: I found a bug that might have possible security implications or similar.
- Should I mail the main netdev maintainer off-list?
-
-A: No. The current netdev maintainer has consistently requested that people
- use the mailing lists and not reach out directly. If you aren't OK with
- that, then perhaps consider mailing "security@kernel.org" or reading about
- http://oss-security.openwall.org/wiki/mailing-lists/distros
- as possible alternative mechanisms.
-
-Q: What level of testing is expected before I submit my change?
-
-A: If your changes are against net-next, the expectation is that you
- have tested by layering your changes on top of net-next. Ideally you
- will have done run-time testing specific to your change, but at a
- minimum, your changes should survive an "allyesconfig" and an
- "allmodconfig" build without new warnings or failures.
-
-Q: Any other tips to help ensure my net/net-next patch gets OK'd?
-
-A: Attention to detail. Re-read your own work as if you were the
- reviewer. You can start with using checkpatch.pl, perhaps even
- with the "--strict" flag. But do not be mindlessly robotic in
- doing so. If your change is a bug-fix, make sure your commit log
- indicates the end-user visible symptom, the underlying reason as
- to why it happens, and then if necessary, explain why the fix proposed
- is the best way to get things done. Don't mangle whitespace, and as
- is common, don't mis-indent function arguments that span multiple lines.
- If it is your first patch, mail it to yourself so you can test apply
- it to an unpatched tree to confirm infrastructure didn't mangle it.
-
- Finally, go back and read Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst to be
- sure you are not repeating some common mistake documented there.

+* Texas Instruments CPSW ethernet driver
+
+Multiqueue & CBS & MQPRIO
+=====================================================================
+=====================================================================
+
+The cpsw has 3 CBS shapers for each external ports. This document
+describes MQPRIO and CBS Qdisc offload configuration for cpsw driver
+based on examples. It potentially can be used in audio video bridging
+(AVB) and time sensitive networking (TSN).
+
+The following examples were tested on AM572x EVM and BBB boards.
+
+Test setup
+==========
+
+Under consideration two examples with AM572x EVM running cpsw driver
+in dual_emac mode.
+
+Several prerequisites:
+- TX queues must be rated starting from txq0 that has highest priority
+- Traffic classes are used starting from 0, that has highest priority
+- CBS shapers should be used with rated queues
+- The bandwidth for CBS shapers has to be set a little bit more then
+ potential incoming rate, thus, rate of all incoming tx queues has
+ to be a little less
+- Real rates can differ, due to discreetness
+- Map skb-priority to txq is not enough, also skb-priority to l2 prio
+ map has to be created with ip or vconfig tool
+- Any l2/socket prio (0 - 7) for classes can be used, but for
+ simplicity default values are used: 3 and 2
+- only 2 classes tested: A and B, but checked and can work with more,
+ maximum allowed 4, but only for 3 rate can be set.
