iproute2 arpd seems to expect this as there's code and comments
to handle netlink probes with NUD_PROBE set. It is used to flush
the arpd cached mappings.
opennhrp instead turns off unicast probes (so it can handle all
neighbour discovery). Without this change it will not see NUD_PROBE
probes and cannot reconfirm the mapping. Thus currently neigh entry
will just fail and can cause few packets dropped until broadcast
discovery is restarted.

The commit 8fad346f36 ("eee802154: add basic support for RF212 to
at86rf230 driver") introduced the new function is_rf212() with some
minor issues in declaration:
1) Fix the function type by changing it to bool as the function
definition returns a boolean value. Additionally both callers of
is_rf212() are expected to return a boolean value.
2) Fix the function specifier by deleting the inline keyword as the
compiler takes care of that.

net, net/mlx4: Add sysfs file for port number
Modern distro's are using biosdevname to rename interface to a name based on

biosdevname can't get the port number of devices that have multiple ports that

This patch adds a sysfs file under: /sys/devices/.../net/<interface>/dev_port,

bnx2x: minimize RAM usage in kdump
kdump kernels usually have only a small amount of memory reserved.
bnx2x can be memory-hungry. Let's minimize its memory usage when
running in kdump.
I detect kdump by looking at the "reset_devices" flag. A couple of
storage drivers (cciss, hpsa) use it for the same purpose. I am not sure
this is the best way to solve the problem, but it works.
Should it be made more generic by, say, looking at the total amount
of lowmem instead? Not using TPA by default when lowmem is small and/or
defaulting to fewer queues would help 32bit systems where a driver for
a multi-function multi-queue NIC can consume a significant amount
of available memory. Or do we want no such heuristics?
Is this something to consider doing for other network drivers too?

gianfar: Device reset and reconfig fixes
These patches end up fixing some notable device reset & reconfig
related problems. One issue is on-the-fly (Rx/Tx on) programming
of interrupt coalescing (IC) registers on the processing path,
against HW recommendation. This is an old issue that became visible
after BQL introduction, as under certain conditions (low traffic)
one TX interrupt gets lost and BQL fires Tx timeout as a result.
Another notable issue is a race on the Tx path (xmit, clean_tx)
during device reset (i.e. during Tx timeout watchdog firing)
that leads to NULL access.
Fixing the problematic on-thy-fly register writes (i.e. the IC regs)
required the implementation of a MAC soft reset procedure.
The race leading to NULL access was addressed by fixing the
stop_gfar()/startup_gfar() pair (disable/enable napi a.s.o.)
and adding the device state DOWN to sync with the TX path.
v2: Refactored if() clauses from gfar_set_features(), PATCH 2.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Programming the interrupt coalescing (IC) registers while
the controller/DMA is on may incur the loss of one Tx
confirmation interrupt, under certain conditions. This is
a subtle hw race because it does not occur during a burst
of Tx packets. It has been observed on p2020 devices that,
if just one packet is being xmit'ed, the Tx confirmation
doesn't trigger and BQL evetually blocks the Tx queues,
followed by Tx timeout and an un-responsive device.
This issue was not apparent prior to introducing BQL
support, as a late Tx confirmation was not an issue back then
and the next burst of Tx frames would have triggered the
Tx confirmation/ Tx ring cleanup anyway.
Bottom line, the hw specifications state that the IC registers
should not be programmed while the Rx/Tx blocks (the DMA) are
enabled. Further more, these registers are currently re-written
with the same values on the processing path, over and over again.
To fix this, rewriting the IC registers has been removed from
the processing path (napi poll). A complete MAC reset procedure
has been implemented for the ethtool -c option instead, to
reliably update these registers while the controller is stopped.

The device reset procedure, stop_gfar()/startup_gfar(), has
concurrency issues.
"Kernel access of bad area" oopses show up during Tx timeout
device reset or other reset cases (like changing MTU) that
happen while the interface still has traffic. The oopses
happen in start_xmit and clean_tx_ring when accessing tx_queue->
tx_skbuff which is NULL. The race comes from de-allocating the
tx_skbuff while transmission and napi processing are still
active. Though the Tx queues get temoprarily stopped when Tx
timeout occurs, they get re-enabled as a result of Tx congestion
handling inside the napi context (see clean_tx_ring()). Not
disabling the napi during reset is also a bug, because
clean_tx_ring() will try to access tx_skbuff while it is being
de-alloc'ed and re-alloc'ed.
To fix this, stop_gfar() needs to disable napi processing
after stopping the Tx queues. However, in order to prevent
clean_tx_ring() to re-enable the Tx queue before the napi
gets disabled, the device state DOWN has been introduced.
It prevents the Tx congestion management from re-enabling the
de-congested Tx queue while the device is brought down.
An additional locking state, RESETTING, has been introduced
to prevent simultaneous resets or to prevent configuring the
device while it is resetting.
The bogus 'rxlock's (for each Rx queue) have been removed since
their purpose is not justified, as they don't prevent nor are
suited to prevent device reset/reconfig races (such as this one).

The RCTRL and TCTRL registers should not be changed
on-the-fly, while the controller is running, otherwise
unexpected behaviour occurs. But that's exactly what
gfar_vlan_mode() does, updating the VLAN acceleration
bits inside RCTRL/TCTRL. The attempt to lock these
operations doesn't help, but only adds to the confusion.
There's also a dependency for Rx FCB insertion (activating
/de-activating the TOE offload block on Rx) which might
change the required rx buffer size. This makes matters
worse as gfar_vlan_mode() ends up calling gfar_change_mtu(),
though the MTU size remains the same. Note that there are
other situations that may affect the required rx buffer size,
like changing RXCSUM or rx hw timestamping, but errorneously
the rx buffer size is not recomputed/ updated in the process.
To fix this, do the vlan updates properly inside the MAC
reset and reconfiguration procedure, which takes care of
the rx buffer size dependecy and the rx TOE block (PRSDEP)
activation/deactivation as well (in the correct order).
As a consequence, MTU/ rx buff size updates are done now
by the same MAC reset and reconfig procedure, so that out
of context updates to MAXFRM, MRBLR, and MACCFG inside
change_mtu() are no longer needed. The rx buffer size
dependecy to Rx FCB is now handled for the other cases too
(RXCSUM and rx hw timestamping).

The main MAC config registers like: RCTRL/TCTRL, MRBLR,
MAXFRM, RXIC/TXIC, most fields of MACCFG1/2, should not
be changed on-the-fly, but at least after stopping the
DMA and disabling the Rx/Tx blocks and, for increased
reliability, after a MAC soft reset.
Impelement a complete MAC soft reset and reconfig procedure
following the latest HW advisories - gfar_mac_reset() - to
replace gfar_mac_init() and (the confusing) init_registers()
functions.
Factor out separate config functions for RCTRL and TCTRL,
insure programming order of the relevant config regs after
MAC soft reset.
Split gfar_hw_init() into gfar_mac_reset() and the remaining
global regs that don't need to be reconfigured after MAC soft
reset (FIFOCFG, ATTRELI, HW counters a.s.o).
As gfar_hw_init() now makes all the register writes @probe()
time, based on all the device flags and config options, it
must be moved further down, just before register_netdev(),
as the last config step when the config values are comitted
to HW. Also, move netif_carrier_off() after register_netdev(),
because it has no effect if called before.

Drivers are allowed to set NETIF_F_SCTP_CSUM if they have
hardware crc32c checksumming support for the SCTP protocol.
Currently, NETIF_F_SCTP_CSUM flag is available in igb,
ixgbe, i40e/i40evf drivers and for vlan devices.
If we don't have NETIF_F_SCTP_CSUM then crc32c is done
through CPU instructions, invoked from crypto layer, or
if not available as slow-path fallback in software.
Currently, loopback device propagates checksum offloading
feature flags in dev->features, but is missing SCTP checksum
offloading. Therefore, account for NETIF_F_SCTP_CSUM as
well.
