commit 4110e02eb45ea447ec6f5459c9934de0a273fb91 upstream.

e1000e_check_for_copper_link() and e1000_check_for_copper_link_ich8lan()
are the two functions that may be assigned to mac.ops.check_for_link when
phy.media_type == e1000_media_type_copper. Commit 19110cfbb34d ("e1000e:
Separate signaling for link check/link up") changed the meaning of the
return value of check_for_link for copper media but only adjusted the first
function. This patch adjusts the second function likewise.

[ Upstream commit 8764a8267b128405cf383157d5e9a4a3735d2409 ]

When we remove the neighbour associated with a nexthop we should always
refuse to write the nexthop to the adjacency table. Regardless if it is
already present in the table or not.

Otherwise, we risk dereferencing the NULL pointer that was set instead
of the neighbour.

[ Upstream commit 879626e3a52630316d817cbda7cec9a5446d1d82 ]

Note in the databook - Section 4.4 - EEE :
" The EEE feature is not supported when the MAC is configured to use the
TBI, RTBI, SMII, RMII or SGMII single PHY interface. Even if the MAC
supports multiple PHY interfaces, you should activate the EEE mode only
when the MAC is operating with GMII, MII, or RGMII interface."

Applying this restriction solves a stability issue observed on Amlogic
gxl platforms operating with RMII interface and the internal PHY.

[ Upstream commit 5133550296d43236439494aa955bfb765a89f615 ]

Renesas  SH7757 has 2 Fast and 2 Gigabit Ether controllers, while the
'sh_eth' driver can only reset and initialize TSU of the first controller
pair. Shimoda-san tried to solve that adding the 'needs_init' member to the
'struct sh_eth_plat_data', however the platform code still never sets this
flag. I think  that we can infer this information from the 'devno' variable
(set  to 'platform_device::id') and reset/init the Ether controller pair
only for an even 'devno'; therefore 'sh_eth_plat_data::needs_init' can be
removed...

[ Upstream commit dfe8266b8dd10e12a731c985b725fcf7f0e537f0 ]

When switching  the driver to the managed device API,  I managed to break
the  case of a  dual Ether devices sharing a single TSU: the 2nd Ether port
wouldn't probe. Iwamatsu-san has tried to fix this but his patch was buggy
and he then dropped the ball...

The solution is to  limit calling devm_request_mem_region() to the first
of  the two  ports  sharing the same TSU, so devm_ioremap_resource() can't
be used anymore for the TSU resource...

When calling add/remove VXLAN port, a lock must be held in order to
prevent race scenarios when more than one add/remove happens at the
same time.
Fix by holding our state_lock (mutex) as done by all other parts of the
driver.
Note that the spinlock protecting the radix-tree is still needed in
order to synchronize radix-tree access from softirq context.

A refcount mechanism must be implemented in order to prevent unwanted
scenarios such as:
- Open an IPv4 VXLAN interface
- Open an IPv6 VXLAN interface (different socket)
- Remove one of the interfaces

With current implementation, the UDP port will be removed from our VXLAN
database and turn off the offloads for the other interface, which is
still active.
The reference count mechanism will only allow UDP port removals once all
consumers are gone.

[ Upstream commit 6323514116404cc651df1b7fffa1311ddf8ce647 ]

mlx5e_vxlan_lookup_port is called both from mlx5e_add_vxlan_port (user
context) and mlx5e_features_check (softirq), but the lock acquired does
not disable bottom half and might result in deadlock. Fix it by simply
replacing spin_lock() with spin_lock_bh().
While at it, replace all unnecessary spin_lock_irq() to spin_lock_bh().

[ Upstream commit 6323514116404cc651df1b7fffa1311ddf8ce647 ]

mlx5e_vxlan_lookup_port is called both from mlx5e_add_vxlan_port (user
context) and mlx5e_features_check (softirq), but the lock acquired does
not disable bottom half and might result in deadlock. Fix it by simply
replacing spin_lock() with spin_lock_bh().
While at it, replace all unnecessary spin_lock_irq() to spin_lock_bh().

[ Upstream commit 2989ad1ec03021ee6d2193c35414f1d970a243de ]

The assumption that the next header field contains the transport
protocol is wrong for IPv6 packets with extension headers.
Instead, we should look the inner-most next header field in the buffer.
This will fix TSO offload for tunnels over IPv6 with extension headers.

Performance testing: 19.25x improvement, cool!
Measuring bandwidth of 16 threads TCP traffic over IPv6 GRE tap.
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2660 v2 @ 2.20GHz
NIC: Mellanox Technologies MT28800 Family [ConnectX-5 Ex]
TSO: Enabled
Before: 4,926.24  Mbps
Now   : 94,827.91 Mbps
