Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "Highlights:

   1) Support AES128-CCM ciphers in kTLS, from Vakul Garg.

   2) Add fib_sync_mem to control the amount of dirty memory we allow to
      queue up between synchronize RCU calls, from David Ahern.

   4) Add PHY downshift support to aquantia driver, from Heiner
      Kallweit.

   5) Add SKB cache for TCP rx and tx, from Eric Dumazet. This reduces
      contention on SLAB spinlocks in heavy RPC workloads.

      entries, from David Ahern.

  10) Move skb-&gt;xmit_more into a per-cpu variable, from Florian
      Westphal.

  11) Improve eBPF verifier speed and increase maximum program size,
      from Alexei Starovoitov.

  12) Eliminate per-bucket spinlocks in rhashtable, and instead use bit
      spinlocks. From Neil Brown.

  13) Allow tunneling with GUE encap in ipvs, from Jacky Hu.

  14) Improve link partner cap detection in generic PHY code, from
      Heiner Kallweit.

  15) Add layer 2 encap support to bpf_skb_adjust_room(), from Alan
      Maguire.

  16) Remove SKB list implementation assumptions in SCTP, your's truly.

  17) Various cleanups, optimizations, and simplifications in r8169
      driver. From Heiner Kallweit.

  18) Add memory accounting on TX and RX path of SCTP, from Xin Long.

  19) Switch PHY drivers over to use dynamic featue detection, from
      Heiner Kallweit.

  20) Support flow steering without masking in dpaa2-eth, from Ioana
      Ciocoi.

  21) Implement ndo_get_devlink_port in netdevsim driver, from Jiri
      Pirko.

  22) Increase the strict parsing of current and future netlink
      attributes, also export such policies to userspace. From Johannes
      Berg.

  23) Allow DSA tag drivers to be modular, from Andrew Lunn.

  24) Remove legacy DSA probing support, also from Andrew Lunn.

  25) Allow ll_temac driver to be used on non-x86 platforms, from Esben
      Haabendal.

  26) Add a generic tracepoint for TX queue timeouts to ease debugging,
      from Cong Wang.

  27) More indirect call optimizations, from Paolo Abeni"

<content type='text'>
In commit d825db346270e ("b43: shut up clang -Wuninitialized variable
warning"), the message noted that function lpphy_papd_cal() was empty
and had an old TODO regarding its implementation. As the reverse
engineering project that created the LP-PHY version of this driver
has not been active for some time, it is safe to remove this empty
function.

<title>drivers: Remove explicit invocations of mmiowb()</title>

<id>fb24ea52f78e0d595852e09e3a55697c8f442189</id>
<content type='text'>
mmiowb() is now implied by spin_unlock() on architectures that require
it, so there is no reason to call it from driver code. This patch was
generated using coccinelle:

	@mmiowb@
	@@
	- mmiowb();

and invoked as:

$ for d in drivers include/linux/qed sound; do \
spatch --include-headers --sp-file mmiowb.cocci --dir $d --in-place; done

NOTE: mmiowb() has only ever guaranteed ordering in conjunction with
spin_unlock(). However, pairing each mmiowb() removal in this patch with
the corresponding call to spin_unlock() is not at all trivial, so there
is a small chance that this change may regress any drivers incorrectly
relying on mmiowb() to order MMIO writes between CPUs using lock-free
synchronisation. If you've ended up bisecting to this commit, you can
reintroduce the mmiowb() calls using wmb() instead, which should restore
the old behaviour on all architectures other than some esoteric ia64
systems.

mmiowb() is now implied by spin_unlock() on architectures that require
it, so there is no reason to call it from driver code. This patch was
generated using coccinelle:

	@mmiowb@
	@@
	- mmiowb();

and invoked as:

$ for d in drivers include/linux/qed sound; do \
spatch --include-headers --sp-file mmiowb.cocci --dir $d --in-place; done

<title>b43: shut up clang -Wuninitialized variable warning</title>

Clang warns about what is clearly a case of passing an uninitalized
variable into a static function:

drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/b43/phy_lp.c:1852:23: error: variable 'gains' is uninitialized when used here
      [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
                lpphy_papd_cal(dev, gains, 0, 1, 30);
                                    ^~~~~
drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/b43/phy_lp.c:1838:2: note: variable 'gains' is declared here
        struct lpphy_tx_gains gains, oldgains;
        ^
1 error generated.

However, this function is empty, and its arguments are never evaluated,
so gcc in contrast does not warn here. Both compilers behave in a
reasonable way as far as I can tell, so we should change the code
to avoid the warning everywhere.

We could just eliminate the lpphy_papd_cal() function entirely,
given that it has had the TODO comment in it for 10 years now
and is rather unlikely to ever get done. I'm doing a simpler
change here, and just pass the 'oldgains' variable in that has
been initialized, based on the guess that this is what was
originally meant.

Kalle Valo says:

====================
wireless-drivers-next patches for 5.1

First set of patches for 5.1. Lots of new features in various drivers
but nothing really special standing out.

Major changes:

brcmfmac

* DMI nvram filename quirk for PoV TAB-P1006W-232 tablet

rsi

* support for hardware scan offload

iwlwifi

* support for Target Wakeup Time (TWT) -- a feature that allows the AP
  to specify when individual stations can access the medium

* support for mac80211 AMSDU handling

* some new PCI IDs

* relicense the pcie submodule to dual GPL/BSD

* reworked the TOF/CSI (channel estimation matrix) implementation

* Some product name updates in the human-readable strings

mt76

* energy detect regulatory compliance fixes

* preparation for MT7603 support

* channel switch announcement support

mwifiex

* support for sd8977 chipset

qtnfmac

* support for 4addr mode

* convert to SPDX license identifiers
====================

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value.  The function can work or not, but the code logic should
never do something different based on this.
