list_first_entry() never returns NULL — if the list is empty, it still
returns a pointer to an invalid object, leading to potential invalid
memory access when dereferenced.
The calls to list_first_entry() are always guarded by !list_empty(),
which guarantees a valid entry is returned. Therefore, the additional
`if (!p_buffer) break;` checks in qed_ooo_release_connection_isles(),
qed_ooo_release_all_isles(), and qed_ooo_free() are redundant and
unreachable.
Remove the dead code for clarity and consistency with common list
handling patterns in the kernel. No functional change intended.

Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.
This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.
This change adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag at the network subsystem, to explicitly
request the use of the per-CPU behavior. Both flags coexist for one release
cycle to allow callers to transition their calls.
Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.
With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU.
All existing users have been updated accordingly.

In the protection override dump path, the firmware can return far too
many GRC elements, resulting in attempting to write past the end of the
previously-kmalloc'ed dump buffer.
This will result in a kernel panic with reason:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ADDRESS
where "ADDRESS" is just past the end of the protection override dump
buffer. The start address of the buffer is:
p_hwfn->cdev->dbg_features[DBG_FEATURE_PROTECTION_OVERRIDE].dump_buf
and the size of the buffer is buf_size in the same data structure.
The panic can be arrived at from either the qede Ethernet driver path:
[exception RIP: qed_grc_dump_addr_range+0x108]
qed_protection_override_dump at ffffffffc02662ed [qed]
qed_dbg_protection_override_dump at ffffffffc0267792 [qed]

qed_dbg_protection_override_dump at ffffffffc068c792 [qed]

Move the default graceful period from a parameter to
devlink_health_reporter_create() to a field in the
devlink_health_reporter_ops structure.
This change improves consistency, as the graceful period is inherently
tied to the reporter's behavior and recovery policy. It simplifies the
signature of devlink_health_reporter_create() and its internal helper
functions. It also centralizes the reporter configuration at the ops
structure, preparing the groundwork for a downstream patch that will
introduce a devlink health reporter burst period attribute whose
default value will similarly be provided by the driver via the ops
structure.

Core & protocols
----------------
- Wrap datapath globals into net_aligned_data, to avoid false sharing.
- Preserve MSG_ZEROCOPY in forwarding (e.g. out of a container).
- Add SO_INQ and SCM_INQ support to AF_UNIX.
- Add SIOCINQ support to AF_VSOCK.
- Add TCP_MAXSEG sockopt to MPTCP.
- Add IPv6 force_forwarding sysctl to enable forwarding per interface.
- Make TCP validation of whether packet fully fits in the receive
window and the rcv_buf more strict. With increased use of HW
aggregation a single "packet" can be multiple 100s of kB.
- Add MSG_MORE flag to optimize large TCP transmissions via sockmap,
improves latency up to 33% for sockmap users.
- Convert TCP send queue handling from tasklet to BH workque.
- Improve BPF iteration over TCP sockets to see each socket exactly once.
- Remove obsolete and unused TCP RFC3517/RFC6675 loss recovery code.
- Support enabling kernel threads for NAPI processing on per-NAPI
instance basis rather than a whole device. Fully stop the kernel NAPI
thread when threaded NAPI gets disabled. Previously thread would stick
around until ifdown due to tricky synchronization.
- Allow multicast routing to take effect on locally-generated packets.
- Add output interface argument for End.X in segment routing.
- MCTP: add support for gateway routing, improve bind() handling.
- Don't require rtnl_lock when fetching an IPv6 neighbor over Netlink.
- Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid"), which cedes refresh
responsibilities to userspace. This is needed for EVPN multi-homing
where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed host needs to be synced
across all the VTEPs among which the host is multi-homed.
- Support NUD_PERMANENT for proxy neighbor entries.
- Add a new queuing discipline for IETF RFC9332 DualQ Coupled AQM.
- Add sequence numbers to netconsole messages. Unregister netconsole's
console when all net targets are removed. Code refactoring.
Add a number of selftests.
- Align IPSec inbound SA lookup to RFC 4301. Only SPI and protocol
should be used for an inbound SA lookup.
- Support inspecting ref_tracker state via DebugFS.
- Don't force bonding advertisement frames tx to ~333 ms boundaries.
Add broadcast_neighbor option to send ARP/ND on all bonded links.
- Allow providing upcall pid for the 'execute' command in openvswitch.

In both the read callback for struct cyclecounter, and in struct
timecounter, struct cyclecounter is declared as a const pointer.
Unfortunatly, a number of users of this pointer treat it as a non-const
pointer as it is burried in a larger structure that is heavily modified by
the callback function when accessed. This lie had been hidden by the fact
that container_of() "casts away" a const attribute of a pointer without any
compiler warning happening at all.
Fix this all up by removing the const attribute in the needed places so
that everyone can see that the structure really isn't const, but can,
and is, modified by the users of it.

clang gets a bit confused by the code in the qed_mfw_process_tlv_req and
ends up spilling registers to the stack hundreds of times. When sanitizers
are enabled, this can end up blowing the stack warning limit:
drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_mng_tlv.c:1244:5: error: stack frame size (1824) exceeds limit (1280) in 'qed_mfw_process_tlv_req' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
Apparently the problem is the complexity of qed_mfw_update_tlvs()
after inlining, and marking the four main branches of that function
as noinline_for_stack makes this problem completely go away, the stack
usage goes down to 100 bytes.

Currently when FDB entries are added to or deleted from a VXLAN netdevice,
the VXLAN driver emits one notification, including the VXLAN-specific
attributes. The core however always sends a notification as well, a generic
one. Thus two notifications are unnecessarily sent for these operations. A
similar situation comes up with bridge driver, which also emits
notifications on its own:
# ip link add name vx type vxlan id 1000 dstport 4789
# bridge monitor fdb &
[1] 1981693
# bridge fdb add de:ad:be:ef:13:37 dev vx self dst 192.0.2.1
de:ad:be:ef:13:37 dev vx dst 192.0.2.1 self permanent
de:ad:be:ef:13:37 dev vx self permanent
In order to prevent this duplicity, add a paremeter to ndo_fdb_add,
bool *notified. The flag is primed to false, and if the callee sends a
notification on its own, it sets it to true, thus informing the core that
it should not generate another notification.

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.
Change the type of the middle struct member currently causing trouble from
`struct ethtool_link_settings` to `struct ethtool_link_settings_hdr`.
Additionally, update the type of some variables in various functions that
don't access the flexible-array member, changing them to the newly created
`struct ethtool_link_settings_hdr`. These changes are needed because the
type of the conflicting middle members changed. So, those instances that
expect the type to be `struct ethtool_link_settings` should be adjusted to
the newly created type `struct ethtool_link_settings_hdr`.
Also, adjust variable declarations to follow the reverse xmas tree
convention.

It is OK to sleep in qed_dmae_operation_wait, because it is called only
in process context, while holding p_hwfn->dmae_info.mutex from one of
the qed_dmae_{host,grc}2{host,grc} functions.
The udelay(DMAE_MIN_WAIT_TIME=2) in the function is too short to replace
with usleep_range, but at least it's a suitable point for checking if we
should give up the CPU with cond_resched().

qed_mcp_nvm_read has a loop where it calls qed_mcp_nvm_rd_cmd with the
argument b_can_sleep=false. And it sleeps once every 0x1000 bytes
read.
Simplify this by letting qed_mcp_nvm_rd_cmd itself sleep
(b_can_sleep=true). It will have slept at least once when successful
(in the "Wait for the MFW response" loop). So the extra sleep once every
0x1000 bytes becomes superfluous. Delete it.
On my test system with voluntary preemption, this lowers the latency
caused by 'ethtool -d' from 53 ms to 10 ms.

On a kernel with preemption none or voluntary, 'ethtool -d'
on a qede network device can cause a big latency spike.
The biggest part of it is the loop in qed_grc_dump_ctx_data.
The function is called only from the .get_size and .perform_dump
callbacks for the "grc" feature defined in qed_features_lookup[].
As far as I can see, they are used in:
- qed's devlink healh reporter .dump op
- qede's ethtool get_regs/get_regs_len/get_dump_data ops
- qedf's qedf_get_grc_dump, called from:
- qedf_sysfs_write_grcdump - "grcdump" sysfs attribute write
- qedf_wq_grcdump - a workqueue
It is safe to sleep in all of them.
Let's insert a cond_resched() in the outer loop to let other tasks run.
Measured using this script:
#!/bin/bash
DEV=ens3f1
echo wakeup_rt > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_max_latency
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on
echo "Setting the task CPU affinity"
taskset -p 1 $$ > /dev/null
echo "Starting the real-time task"
chrt -f 50 bash -c 'while sleep 0.01; do :; done' &
sleep 1
echo "Running: ethtool -d $DEV"

kill %1
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on
echo "Measured latency: $(</sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_max_latency) us"
echo "To see the latency trace: less /sys/kernel/tracing/trace"
The patch lowers the latency from 180 ms to 53 ms on my test system with
voluntary preemption.

It is caused by sleeping too long in _qed_mcp_cmd_and_union.
When called with sleeping not allowed, the function delays for 10 µs
between firmware polls. But if sleeping is allowed, it sleeps for 10 ms
instead.
The sleeps in _qed_mcp_cmd_and_union are unnecessarily long.
Replace msleep with usleep_range, which allows to achieve a similar
polling interval like in the no-sleeping mode (10 - 20 µs).
The only caller, qed_mcp_cmd_and_union, can stop doing the
multiplication/division of the usecs/max_retries. The polling interval
and the number of retries do not need to be parameters at all.
On my test system, 'ethtool -d' now takes 4 seconds instead of 44.

Don't populate the const read-only array key on the stack at

The responsibility for reporting of RX software timestamp has moved to
the core layer (see __ethtool_get_ts_info()), remove usage from the
device drivers.

Now, ifa_dev is only set in inet_alloc_ifa() and never
NULL after ifa gets visible.
Let's remove the unneeded NULL check for ifa->ifa_dev.

In prevision to add new UAPI for hwtstamp we will be limited to the struct
ethtool_ts_info that is currently passed in fixed binary format through the
ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO ethtool ioctl. It would be good if new kernel code
already started operating on an extensible kernel variant of that
structure, similar in concept to struct kernel_hwtstamp_config vs struct
hwtstamp_config.
Since struct ethtool_ts_info is in include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h, here
we introduce the kernel-only structure in include/linux/ethtool.h.
The manual copy is then made in the function called by ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO.
