chan_info_event with COMPLETE flag set to indicate the completion
of the channel info event.

The firmware does not indicate this behavior with any service bitmap

tls: Add support for inplace records encryption

Presently, for non-zero copy case, separate pages are allocated for
storing plaintext and encrypted text of records. These pages are stored
in sg_plaintext_data and sg_encrypted_data scatterlists inside record
structure. Further, sg_plaintext_data & sg_encrypted_data are passed
to cryptoapis for record encryption. Allocating separate pages for
plaintext and encrypted text is inefficient from both required memory
and performance point of view.

This patch adds support of inplace encryption of records. For non-zero
copy case, we reuse the pages from sg_encrypted_data scatterlist to
copy the application's plaintext data. For the movement of pages from
sg_encrypted_data to sg_plaintext_data scatterlists, we introduce a new
function move_to_plaintext_sg(). This function add pages into
sg_plaintext_data from sg_encrypted_data scatterlists.

tls_do_encryption() is modified to pass the same scatterlist as both
source and destination into aead_request_set_crypt() if inplace crypto
has been enabled. A new ariable 'inplace_crypto' has been introduced in
record structure to signify whether the same scatterlist can be used.
By default, the inplace_crypto is enabled in get_rec(). If zero-copy is
used (i.e. plaintext data is not copied), inplace_crypto is set to '0'.

dpaa2-eth: Use new API for Rx flow hashing

The Management Complex (MC) firmware initially allowed the
configuration of a single key to be used both for Rx flow hashing
and flow classification. This prevented us from supporting
Rx flow classification through ethtool.

Starting with version 10.7.0, the Management Complex(MC) offers
a new set of APIs for separate configuration of Rx hashing and
classification keys.

Update the Rx flow hashing support to use the new API, if available.

ensure that the correct link state of a port is reported.  Fixed an
issue where if the driver is unloaded when traffic is in progress,
errors are generated.

Preethi breaks up the IRQ tracker into a software and hardware IRQ
tracker, where the software IRQ tracker tracks only the PF's IRQ
requests and does not play any role in the VF initialization.  The
hardware IRQ tracker represents the device's interrupt space and will be
looked up to see if the device has run our of interrupts when a
interrupt has to be allocated in the device for either PF or VF.

ice: Split irq_tracker into sw_irq_tracker and hw_irq_tracker

For the PF driver, when mapping interrupts to queues, we need to request
IRQs from the kernel and we also have to allocate interrupts from
the device.

Similarly, when the VF driver (iavf.ko) initializes, it requests the kernel
IRQs that it needs but it can't directly allocate interrupts in the device.
Instead, it sends a mailbox message to the ice driver, which then allocates
interrupts in the device on the VF driver's behalf.

Currently both these cases end up having to reserve entries in
pf->irq_tracker but irq_tracker itself is sized based on how many vectors
the PF driver needs. Under the right circumstances, the VF driver can fail
to get entries in irq_tracker, which will result in the VF driver failing
probe.

To fix this, sw_irq_tracker and hw_irq_tracker are introduced. The
sw_irq_tracker tracks only the PF's IRQ request and doesn't play any
role in VF init. hw_irq_tracker represents the device's interrupt space.
When interrupts have to be allocated in the device for either PF or VF,
hw_irq_tracker will be looked up to see if the device has run out of
interrupts.

filters, other VSI attributes (like RSS configuration, Tx scheduler

Thus, instead of replaying based on functional blocks (i.e. replay
all filters for all VSIs, followed by RSS configuration replay for
all VSIs, and so on), it makes more sense to have the replay centered

moving on to rebuilding the next VSI.

To that effect, this patch introduces a VSI replay framework in a new

In this patch series, update the ibmvnic driver to use driver-defined
queue limits instead of limits imposed by the Virtual I/O server
management partition. For some deviced, initial max queue size and
amount limits, despite their definition, can actually be exceeded if
the client driver requests it. With this in mind, define a private
ethtool flag that toggles the use of driver-defined limits. These
limits are currently more than what supported hardware will likely
allow, so the driver will attempt to get as close as possible to
the user request but may not fully succeed.

ibmvnic: Add ethtool private flag for driver-defined queue limits

When choosing channel amounts and ring sizes, the maximums in the
ibmvnic driver are defined by the virtual i/o server management
partition. Even though they are defined as maximums, the client
driver may in fact successfully request resources that exceed
these limits, which are mostly dependent on a user's hardware

With this in mind, provide an ethtool flag that when enabled will
allow the user to request resources limited by driver-defined
maximums instead of limits defined by the management partition.
The driver will try to honor the user's request but may not allowed
by the management partition. In this case, the driver requests
as close as it can get to the desired amount until it succeeds.

clocks from MONOTONIC to TAI, in order to meet the choice done
earlier for sch_etf packet scheduler.

But sure enough, this broke some setups were the TAI clock

by Leonard Crestez.

If we want to converge later, we'll probably need to add
an skb field to differentiate the clock bases, or a socket option.

====================
netlink: extended attribute validation

This adds further netlink attribute validation:
 * min/max/range validation
 * validation through a custom function pointer

This is useful to
 * reduce boilerplate code in command handling code, if attributes
   are used commonly across different commands
 * get more extended ACK error messages/attribute pointers
 * ensure attributes are valid even when ignored
   (though this might be a problem when converting existing code)

Changes since v1:
 * split off validate_type from type and use that for min/max/range
   and function; this is better because the range is limited to the
   range of s16 and so things like "u16 with minimum value 1" couldn't
   be expressed earlier
 * add macros for this, e.g. NLA_POLICY_MIN(NLA_U16, 1) for the case
   mentioned in the previous bullet

Using this pretty much in all places where applicable in nl80211
