<title>r8169: fix PHY driver check on platforms w/o module softdeps</title>

<content type='text'>
On Android/x86 the module loading infrastructure can't deal with
softdeps. Therefore the check for presence of the Realtek PHY driver
module fails. mdiobus_register() will try to load the PHY driver
module, therefore move the check to after this call and explicitly
check that a dedicated PHY driver is bound to the PHY device.

<title>net: ks8851-ml: Fix IO operations, again</title>

This patch reverts 58292104832f ("net: ks8851-ml: Fix 16-bit IO operation")
and edacb098ea9c ("net: ks8851-ml: Fix 16-bit data access"), because it
turns out these were only necessary due to buggy hardware. This patch adds
a check for such a buggy hardware to prevent any such mistakes again.

While working further on the KS8851 driver, it came to light that the
KS8851-16MLL is capable of switching bus endianness by a hardware strap,
EESK pin. If this strap is incorrect, the IO accesses require such endian
swapping as is being reverted by this patch. Such swapping also impacts
the performance significantly.

Hence, in addition to removing it, detect that the hardware is broken,
report to user, and fail to bind with such hardware.

list_for_each_entry_from_reverse() iterates backwards over the list from
the current position, but in the error path we should start from the
previous position.

Fix this by using list_for_each_entry_continue_reverse() instead.

This suppresses the following error from coccinelle:

<title>net: ena: Add PCI shutdown handler to allow safe kexec</title>

<id>428c491332bca498c8eb2127669af51506c346c7</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently ENA only provides the PCI remove() handler, used during rmmod
for example. This is not called on shutdown/kexec path; we are potentially
creating a failure scenario on kexec:

(a) Kexec is triggered, no shutdown() / remove() handler is called for ENA;
instead pci_device_shutdown() clears the master bit of the PCI device,
stopping all DMA transactions;

(b) Kexec reboot happens and the device gets enabled again, likely having
its FW with that DMA transaction buffered; then it may trigger the (now
invalid) memory operation in the new kernel, corrupting kernel memory area.

This patch aims to prevent this, by implementing a shutdown() handler
quite similar to the remove() one - the difference being the handling
of the netdev, which is unregistered on remove(), but following the
convention observed in other drivers, it's only detached on shutdown().

This prevents an odd issue in AWS Nitro instances, in which after the 2nd
kexec the next one will fail with an initrd corruption, caused by a wild
DMA write to invalid kernel memory. The lspci output for the adapter
present in my instance is:

00:05.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Amazon.com, Inc. Elastic Network
Adapter (ENA) [1d0f:ec20]

====================
Mellanox, mlx5 fixes 2020-03-24

This series introduces some fixes to mlx5 driver.

From Aya, Fixes to the RX error recovery flows
From Leon, Fix IB capability mask

Please pull and let me know if there is any problem.

For -stable v5.5
 ('net/mlx5_core: Set IB capability mask1 to fix ib_srpt connection failure')

For -stable v5.4
 ('net/mlx5e: Fix ICOSQ recovery flow with Striding RQ')
 ('net/mlx5e: Do not recover from a non-fatal syndrome')
 ('net/mlx5e: Fix missing reset of SW metadata in Striding RQ reset')
 ('net/mlx5e: Enhance ICOSQ WQE info fields')

The above patch ('net/mlx5e: Enhance ICOSQ WQE info fields')
will fail to apply cleanly on v5.4 due to a trivial contextual conflict,
but it is an important fix, do I need to do something about it or just
assume Greg will know how to handle this ?

The original change fixed an issue on RTL8168b by mimicking the vendor
driver behavior to disable MSI on chip versions before RTL8168d.
This however now caused an issue on a system with RTL8168c, see [0].
Therefore leave MSI disabled on RTL8168b, but re-enable it on RTL8168c.

For non-fatal syndromes like LOCAL_LENGTH_ERR, recovery shouldn't be
triggered. In these scenarios, the RQ is not actually in ERR state.
This misleads the recovery flow which assumes that the RQ is really in
error state and no more completions arrive, causing crashes on bad page
state.

In striding RQ mode, the buffers of an RX WQE are first
prepared and posted to the HW using a UMR WQEs via the ICOSQ.
We maintain the state of these in-progress WQEs in the RQ
SW struct.

In the flow of ICOSQ recovery, the corresponding RQ is not
in error state, hence:

- The buffers of the in-progress WQEs must be released
  and the RQ metadata should reflect it.
- Existing RX WQEs in the RQ should not be affected.

For this, wrap the dealloc of the in-progress WQEs in
a function, and use it in the ICOSQ recovery flow
instead of mlx5e_free_rx_descs().
