    Dmitry Yakunin.

15) Add infrastructure to export netlink attribute policies to
    userspace, from Johannes Berg.

16) Several optimizations to sch_fq scheduler, from Eric Dumazet.

17) Fallback to the default qdisc if qdisc init fails because otherwise
    a packet scheduler init failure will make a device inoperative. From
    Jesper Dangaard Brouer.

18) Several RISCV bpf jit optimizations, from Luke Nelson.

19) Correct the return type of the ->ndo_start_xmit() method in several
    drivers, it's netdev_tx_t but many drivers were using
    'int'. From Yunjian Wang.

20) Add an ethtool interface for PHY master/slave config, from Oleksij
    Rempel.

21) Add BPF iterators, from Yonghang Song.

22) Add cable test infrastructure, including ethool interfaces, from
    Andrew Lunn. Marvell PHY driver is the first to support this
    facility.

23) Remove zero-length arrays all over, from Gustavo A. R. Silva.

24) Calculate and maintain an explicit frame size in XDP, from Jesper
    Dangaard Brouer.

25) Add CAP_BPF, from Alexei Starovoitov.

26) Support terse dumps in the packet scheduler, from Vlad Buslov.

27) Support XDP_TX bulking in dpaa2 driver, from Ioana Ciornei.

28) Add devm_register_netdev(), from Bartosz Golaszewski.

29) Minimize qdisc resets, from Cong Wang.

30) Get rid of kernel_getsockopt and kernel_setsockopt in order to
    eliminate set_fs/get_fs calls. From Christoph Hellwig.

-________________
-NETIF Msg Level
-
-The design of the network interface message level setting.
-
-History
-
- The design of the debugging message interface was guided and
- constrained by backwards compatibility previous practice.  It is useful
- to understand the history and evolution in order to understand current
- practice and relate it to older driver source code.
-
- From the beginning of Linux, each network device driver has had a local
- integer variable that controls the debug message level.  The message
- level ranged from 0 to 7, and monotonically increased in verbosity.
-
- The message level was not precisely defined past level 3, but were
- always implemented within +-1 of the specified level.  Drivers tended
- to shed the more verbose level messages as they matured.
-    0  Minimal messages, only essential information on fatal errors.
-    1  Standard messages, initialization status.  No run-time messages
-    2  Special media selection messages, generally timer-driver.
-    3  Interface starts and stops, including normal status messages
-    4  Tx and Rx frame error messages, and abnormal driver operation
-    5  Tx packet queue information, interrupt events.
-    6  Status on each completed Tx packet and received Rx packets
-    7  Initial contents of Tx and Rx packets
-
- Initially this message level variable was uniquely named in each driver
- e.g. "lance_debug", so that a kernel symbolic debugger could locate and
- modify the setting.  When kernel modules became common, the variables
- were consistently renamed to "debug" and allowed to be set as a module
- parameter.
-
- This approach worked well.  However there is always a demand for
- additional features.  Over the years the following emerged as
- reasonable and easily implemented enhancements
-   Using an ioctl() call to modify the level.
-   Per-interface rather than per-driver message level setting.
-   More selective control over the type of messages emitted.
-
- The netif_msg recommendation adds these features with only a minor
- complexity and code size increase.
-
- The recommendation is the following points
-    Retaining the per-driver integer variable "debug" as a module
-    parameter with a default level of '1'.
-
-    Adding a per-interface private variable named "msg_enable".  The
-    variable is a bit map rather than a level, and is initialized as
-       1 << debug
-    Or more precisely
-        debug < 0 ? 0 : 1 << min(sizeof(int)-1, debug)
-
-    Messages should changes from
-      if (debug > 1)
-           printk(MSG_DEBUG "%s: ...
-    to
-      if (np->msg_enable & NETIF_MSG_LINK)
-           printk(MSG_DEBUG "%s: ...
