can: add tx/rx LED trigger support
This patch implements the functions to add two LED triggers, named
<ifname>-tx and <ifname>-rx, to a canbus device driver.
Triggers are called from specific handlers by each CAN device driver and
can be disabled altogether with a Kconfig option.
The implementation keeps the LED on when the interface is UP and blinks
the LED on network activity at a configurable rate.
This only supports can-dev based drivers, as it uses some support field
in the can_priv structure.
Supported drivers should call devm_can_led_init() and can_led_event() as
needed.
Cleanup is handled automatically by devres, so no *_exit function is
needed.
Supported events are:
- CAN_LED_EVENT_OPEN: turn on tx/rx LEDs
- CAN_LED_EVENT_STOP: turn off tx/rx LEDs
- CAN_LED_EVENT_TX: trigger tx LED blink
- CAN_LED_EVENT_RX: trigger tx LED blink

Merge branch 'soreuseport'
Tom Herbert says:
====================
This series implements so_reuseport (SO_REUSEPORT socket option) for
TCP and UDP. For TCP, so_reuseport allows multiple listener sockets
to be bound to the same port. In the case of UDP, so_reuseport allows
multiple sockets to bind to the same port. To prevent port hijacking
all sockets bound to the same port using so_reuseport must have the
same uid. Received packets are distributed to multiple sockets bound
to the same port using a 4-tuple hash.
The motivating case for so_resuseport in TCP would be something like
a web server binding to port 80 running with multiple threads, where
each thread might have it's own listener socket. This could be done
as an alternative to other models: 1) have one listener thread which
dispatches completed connections to workers. 2) accept on a single
listener socket from multiple threads. In case #1 the listener thread
can easily become the bottleneck with high connection turn-over rate.
In case #2, the proportion of connections accepted per thread tends
to be uneven under high connection load (assuming simple event loop:
while (1) { accept(); process() }, wakeup does not promote fairness
among the sockets. We have seen the disproportion to be as high
as 3:1 ratio between thread accepting most connections and the one
accepting the fewest. With so_reusport the distribution is
uniform.
The TCP implementation has a problem in that the request sockets for a
listener are attached to a listener socket. If a SYN is received, a
listener socket is chosen and request structure is created (SYN-RECV
state). If the subsequent ack in 3WHS does not match the same port
by so_reusport, the connection state is not found (reset) and the
request structure is orphaned. This scenario would occur when the
number of listener sockets bound to a port changes (new ones are
added, or old ones closed). We are looking for a solution to this,
maybe allow multiple sockets to share the same request table...
The motivating case for so_reuseport in UDP would be something like a
DNS server. An alternative would be to recv on the same socket from
multiple threads. As in the case of TCP, the load across these threads
tends to be disproportionate and we also see a lot of contection on
the socket lock. Note that SO_REUSEADDR already allows multiple UDP
sockets to bind to the same port, however there is no provision to
prevent hijacking and nothing to distribute packets across all the
sockets sharing the same bound port. This patch does not change the
semantics of SO_REUSEADDR, but provides usable functionality of it
for unicast.

Paul Gortmaker says:
====================
The Ethernet-HowTo was maintained for roughly 10 years, from 1993 to 2003.
Fortunately sane hardware probing and auto detection (via PCI and ISA/PnP)
largely made the document a relic of the past, hence it being abandoned
a decade ago.
However, there is one last useful thing that we can extract from the
effort made in maintaining that document. We can use it to guide us
with respect to what rare, experimental and/or super ancient 10Mbit
ISA drivers don't make sense to maintain in-tree anymore.
Nobody will argue that ISA is obsolete. Availability went away at about
the time Pentium3 motherboards moved from 500MHz Slot1/SECC processors
to the green 500MHz Socket 370 Pentium3 chips, at the turn of the century.
In theory, it is possible that someone could still be running one of these
12+ year old P3 machines and want 3.9+ bleeding edge kernels (but unlikely).
In light of the above (remote) possibility, we can defer the removal of some
ISA network drivers that were highly popular and well tested. Typically
that means the stuff more from the mid to late '90s, some with ISA PnP
support, like the 3c509, the wd/SMC 8390 based stuff, PCnet/lance etc.
But a lot of other drivers, typically from the early 1990s were for rare
hardware, and experimental (to the point of requiring a cron job that would
do a test ping, and then ifconfig down/up and/or a rmmod/insmod!). And
some of these drivers (znet, and lp486e to name two) are physically tied
to platforms with on motherboard ethernet -- of 486 machines that date
from the early 1990s and can only have single digit amounts of memory.
What I'd like to achieve here with this series, is to get rid of those old
drivers that are no longer being used. In an earlier discussion where
I'd proposed deleting a single driver, Alan suggested we instead dump
all the historical stuff in one go, to make it "...immediately obvious
where the break point is..."[1] and that it was "perfectly reasonable it
(and a pile of other ISA cards) ought to be shown the door"[2]. So that
is the goal here - make a clear line in the sand where the really ancient
stuff finally gets kicked to the curb.
Two old parallel port drivers are considered for removal here as well,
since in early 386/486 ISA machines, the parallel port was typically found
with the UARTS on the multi-I/O ISA controller card. These drivers also date
from the early 1990's; parallel ports are no longer found on modern boards,
and their performance was not even capable of 10% of 10Mbit bandwidth.
Allow me a preemptive justification against the inevitable comments from
well meaning bystanders who suggest "why not just leave all this alone?".
Dead drivers cost us all if they are left in tree. If you think that
is false, then please first consider:
-every time you type "git status", you are checking to see if modifications
have been made by you to all that dead code.
-every time you type "git grep <regex>" you are searching through files
which contain that dead code that simply does not interest you.
-every time you build a "allyesconfig" and an "allmodconfig" (don't tell
me you skip this step before submitting your changes to a maintainer),
you waste CPU cycles building this dead code.
-every time there is a tree wide API change, or cleanup, or file relocation,
we pay the cost of updating dead code, or moving dead code.
-daily regression tests (take linux-next as the most transparent
example) spend time building (and possibly running) this dead code.
-hard working people who regularly run auditing tools looking for lurking
bugs (sparse/coverity/smatch/coccinelle) are wasting time checking for,
and fixing bugs in this dead code.
This last one is key. Please take a look at the git history for the
files that are proposed for removal here. Look at the git history for
any one of them ("git whatchanged --follow drivers/net/.../driver.c")
Mentally sort the changes into two bins -- (1) the robotic tree-wide
changes, and (2) the "look I found a real run-time bug while using this"
category. You will see that category #2 is essentially empty.
Further to that, realize that drivers don't simply disappear. We are
not operating in the binary-only distribution space like other OS. All
these drivers remain in the git history forever. If a person is an
enthusiast for extreme legacy hardware, they are probably already
customizing their kernel source and building it themselves to support
such systems. Also keep in mind that they could still build the 3.8
kernel exactly as-is, and run it (or a 3.8.x stable variant of it) for
several more years if they were really determined to cling to these old
experimental ISA drivers for some reason.
In summary, I hope that folks can be pragmatic about this, and not
get swept up in nostalgia. Ask yourself whether it is realistic to
expect a person would have a genuine use case where they would
need to build a 3.9+ modern kernel and install it on some legacy hardware
that has no option but to absolutely _require_ one of the drivers
that are deleted here.

It was amusing that linux was able to make use of this 1980's
technology on machines long past its intended lifespan, but
it probably should go now.
To set some context, the 3c501 was designed in the 1980's to be
used on 8088 PC-XT 8bit ISA machines. It was built using a large
number of discrete TTL components and truly looks like a relic
of the ancient past before large scale integration was common.
But from a functional point of view, the real issue, as stated
in the (also obsolete) Ethernet-HowTo, is that "...the 3c501 can
only do one thing at a time -- while you are removing one packet
from the single-packet buffer it cannot receive another packet,
nor can it receive a packet while loading a transmit packet."
You know things are not good when the Kconfig help text suggests
you make a cron job doing a ping every minute.
Hardware that old and crippled is simply not going to be used by
anyone in a time where 10 year old 100Mbit PCI cards (that are

Hence, the user should define (*,G) entries to build its static tree. Note that

- Calculate total length and allocate sk_buff
- Build IPv6 header.
- copy ICMPv6 header, additional data and ND options.
- Fill-in ICMPv6 checksum.
Here, structures defined for message format was not used

3) __ndisc_send()
- Allocate temporary dst.
- Send it.
Several issues:
- We could not defer decision if we should/can send some ND
option.
- It is hard to see the packet format at a glance.
- ICMPv6 header was built as temporary variable, and then
copied to the buffer.
- Some code path for Redirect was not shared.
With these patches, we do:
1) Calculate (or estimate) message length and option length.
2) Allocate skb (via new ndisc_skb_alloc()).
3) Fill-in ICMPv6 message directly using compound literals.
4) Fill-in ICMPv6 checksum
5) Build IPv6 header (including length)
6) Send the packet (via ndisc_send_skb()).
- allocate temporary dst and send it.
- We can defer calculating real length of the packet.
For example, we can give up filling some option at when
filling in.
- Message is built directly without temporary buffer.
- Structures defined for message format is easier to understand
what is being built.
- NS/NA/RS/Redirect share same logic.
