Currently the UP/DOWN state of VLANs is synchronized to the state of the
underlying device, meaning all VLANs are set down once the underlying
device is set down. This causes all routes to the VLAN devices to vanish.Add a flag to specify a "loose binding" mode, in which only the operstate
is transfered, but the VLAN device state is independant.Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy

Currently we can set multicast hash immediately (in atomic context)
but must delay setting MAC promiscuity. There is not that much
point in deferring one but not the other, and setting the multicast
hash on Siena will involve a firmware request. So process them
both in efx_mac_work().Also, set the broadcast bit in the multicast hash in
efx_set_multicast_list(), since this is required for both Falcon and
Siena.Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

Only the XMAC on Falcon needs help from the driver to poll and reset
the MAC-PHY link (XAUI); GMII is a simple parallel bus and on later
NICs firmware takes care of the XAUI link. Also, an XMAC interrupt
currently schedules a work item which simply clears a flag
(efx_nic::mac_up) to be checked by the regular monitor (or the next
link reconfiguration, if that is sooner).Rename the flag to xmac_poll_required, changing its sense. Remove the
needless indirection and just set the flag immediately. Call
falcon_xmac_poll() directly where required.Add a new generic operation mac_op::check_fault to check the link
outside of regular monitoring, as required during self-tests.(Note that this leaves us with an unused work item, but we will
immediately have another use for it.)Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

Currently we initiate MAC stats DMA and busy-wait for completion when
stats are requested. We can improve on this with a periodic timer to
initiate and poll for stats, and opportunistically poll when stats are
requested.Since efx_nic::stats_disable_count and efx_stats_{disable,enable}()
are Falcon-specific, rename them and move them accordingly.Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

Although efx_init_port() is only called at probe time and so cannot
race with port reconfiguration, most of the functions it calls can
expect to be called with the MAC lock held.Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

Although all the defined fields in these registers are within 32 bits,
they are architecturally defined as 128-bit like most other Falcon
registers. In particular, we must use efx_reado() to ensure proper
locking when reading MD_STAT_REG.Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

In order to support all three modes of macvlan at
runtime, extend the existing netlink protocol
to allow choosing the mode per macvlan slave
interface.This depends on a matching patch to iproute2
in order to become accessible in user land.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

Signed-off-by: David S. Miller -
This allows each macvlan slave device to be in one
of three modes, depending on the use case:MACVLAN_PRIVATE:
The device never communicates with any other device
on the same upper_dev. This even includes frames
coming back from a reflective relay, where supported
by the adjacent bridge.MACVLAN_VEPA:
The new Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator (VEPA) mode,
we assume that the adjacent bridge returns all frames
where both source and destination are local to the
macvlan port, i.e. the bridge is set up as a reflective
relay.
Broadcast frames coming in from the upper_dev get
flooded to all macvlan interfaces in VEPA mode.
We never deliver any frames locally.MACVLAN_BRIDGE:
We provide the behavior of a simple bridge between
different macvlan interfaces on the same port. Frames
from one interface to another one get delivered directly
and are not sent out externally. Broadcast frames get
flooded to all other bridge ports and to the external
interface, but when they come back from a reflective
relay, we don't deliver them again.
Since we know all the MAC addresses, the macvlan bridge
mode does not require learning or STP like the bridge
module does.Based on an earlier patch "macvlan: Reflect macvlan packets
meant for other macvlan devices" by Eric Biederman.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

The veth driver contains code to forward an skb
from the start_xmit function of one network
device into the receive path of another device.Moving that code into a common location lets us
reuse the code for direct forwarding of data
between macvlan ports, and possibly in other
drivers.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

The velocity hardware can handle up to 7 memory segments. This can be

This patch adds NAPI support for VIA velocity. The new velocity_poll
function also pairs tx/rx handling twice which improves perforamance on
some workloads (e.g., netperf UDP_STREAM) significantly (that part is

(Partially from the upstream VIA driver). Tweaking the number of

(From the VIA driver). The current code does not guarantee 64-byte
alignment since it simply doesint add = skb->data & 63;
skb->data += add;
(via skb_reserve). So for example, if the skb->data address would be
0x10, this would result in 32-byte alignment (0x10 + 0x10).Correct by adding
64 - (skb->data & 63)
instead.

Signed-off-by: David S. Miller -
Adding a xfrm_state requires an authentication algorithm specified
either as xfrm_algo or as xfrm_algo_auth with a specific truncation
length. For compatibility, both attributes are dumped to userspace,
and we also accept both attributes, but prefer the new syntax.If no truncation length is specified, or the authentication algorithm
is specified using xfrm_algo, the truncation length from the algorithm
description in the kernel is used.Signed-off-by: Martin Willi

The new XFRMA_ALG_AUTH_TRUNC attribute taking a xfrm_algo_auth as
