[ Upstream commit 30d8177e8ac776d89d387fad547af6a0f599210e ]

We build vlan on top of bonding interface, which vlan offload
is off, bond mode is 802.3ad (LACP) and xmit_hash_policy is
BOND_XMIT_POLICY_ENCAP34.

Because vlan tx offload is off, vlan tci is cleared and skb push
the vlan header in validate_xmit_vlan() while sending from vlan
devices. Then in bond_xmit_hash, __skb_flow_dissect() fails to
get information from protocol headers encapsulated within vlan,
because 'nhoff' is points to IP header, so bond hashing is based
on layer 2 info, which fails to distribute packets across slaves.

This patch always enable bonding's vlan tx offload, pass the vlan
packets to the slave devices with vlan tci, let them to handle
vlan implementation.

Fixes: 278339a42a1b ("bonding: propogate vlan_features to bonding master")

commit 247e5356a709eb49a0d95ff2a7f07dac05c8252c upstream.

Current we can meet timeout issue when setting a small bitrate like
10000 as follows on i.MX6UL EVK board (ipg clock = 66MHZ, per clock =
30MHZ):

| root@imx6ul7d:~# ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 10000

A link change request failed with some changes committed already.
Interface can0 may have been left with an inconsistent configuration,
please check.

| RTNETLINK answers: Connection timed out

It is caused by calling of flexcan_chip_unfreeze() timeout.

Originally the code is using usleep_range(10, 20) for unfreeze
operation, but the patch (8badd65 can: flexcan: avoid calling
usleep_range from interrupt context) changed it into udelay(10) which is
only a half delay of before, there're also some other delay changes.

After double to FLEXCAN_TIMEOUT_US to 100 can fix the issue.

Meanwhile, Rasmus Villemoes reported that even with a timeout of 100,
flexcan_probe() fails on the MPC8309, which requires a value of at least
140 to work reliably. 250 works for everyone.

When doing a loopback test at copper ports, the serdes loopback
and the phy loopback will fail, because of the adjust link had
not finished, and phy not ready.

Adds sleep between adjust link and test process to fix it.

<title>net: sh_eth: fix mdio access in sh_eth_close() for R-Car Gen2 and RZ/A1 SoCs</title>

[ Upstream commit 315ca92dd863fecbffc0bb52ae0ac11e0398726a ]

The sh_eth_close() resets the MAC and then calls phy_stop()
so that mdio read access result is incorrect without any error
according to kernel trace like below:

ifconfig-216   [003] .n..   109.133124: mdio_access: ee700000.ethernet-ffffffff read  phy:0x01 reg:0x00 val:0xffff

According to the hardware manual, the RMII mode should be set to 1
before operation the Ethernet MAC. However, the previous code was not
set to 1 after the driver issued the soft_reset in sh_eth_dev_exit()
so that the mdio read access result seemed incorrect. To fix the issue,
this patch adds a condition and set the RMII mode register in
sh_eth_dev_exit() for R-Car Gen2 and RZ/A1 SoCs.

Note that when I have tried to move the sh_eth_dev_exit() calling
after phy_stop() on sh_eth_close(), but it gets worse (kernel panic
happened and it seems that a register is accessed while the clock is
off).

<title>be2net: Fix number of Rx queues used for flow hashing</title>

<id>6f057abd08d199ba61a9ceebb7cbb733ab996642</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 718f4a2537089ea41903bf357071306163bc7c04 ]

Number of Rx queues used for flow hashing returned by the driver is
incorrect and this bug prevents user to use the last Rx queue in
indirection table.

Let's say we have a NIC with 6 combined queues:

[root@sm-03 ~]# ethtool -l enp4s0f0
Channel parameters for enp4s0f0:
Pre-set maximums:
RX:             5
TX:             5
Other:          0
Combined:       6
Current hardware settings:
RX:             0
TX:             0
Other:          0
Combined:       6

Default indirection table maps all (6) queues equally but the driver
reports only 5 rings available.

[root@sm-03 ~]# ethtool -x enp4s0f0
RX flow hash indirection table for enp4s0f0 with 5 RX ring(s):
    0:      0     1     2     3     4     5     0     1
    8:      2     3     4     5     0     1     2     3
   16:      4     5     0     1     2     3     4     5
   24:      0     1     2     3     4     5     0     1
...

Now change indirection table somehow:

[root@sm-03 ~]# ethtool -X enp4s0f0 weight 1 1
[root@sm-03 ~]# ethtool -x enp4s0f0
RX flow hash indirection table for enp4s0f0 with 6 RX ring(s):
    0:      0     0     0     0     0     0     0     0
...
   64:      1     1     1     1     1     1     1     1
...

Now it is not possible to change mapping back to equal (default) state:

[root@sm-03 ~]# ethtool -X enp4s0f0 equal 6
Cannot set RX flow hash configuration: Invalid argument

    8:      2     3     4     5     0     1     2     3
   16:      4     5     0     1     2     3     4     5
   24:      0     1     2     3     4     5     0     1
...

Now change indirection table somehow:

[root@sm-03 ~]# ethtool -X enp4s0f0 weight 1 1
[root@sm-03 ~]# ethtool -x enp4s0f0
RX flow hash indirection table for enp4s0f0 with 6 RX ring(s):
    0:      0     0     0     0     0     0     0     0
...
   64:      1     1     1     1     1     1     1     1
...

Now it is not possible to change mapping back to equal (default) state:

[root@sm-03 ~]# ethtool -X enp4s0f0 equal 6
Cannot set RX flow hash configuration: Invalid argument

[ Upstream commit 94d250fae48e6f873d8362308f5c4d02cd1b1fd2 ]

Fix a racing condition in ipheth.c that can lead to slow performance.

Bug: In ipheth_tx(), netif_wake_queue() may be called on the callback
ipheth_sndbulk_callback(), _before_ netif_stop_queue() is called.
When this happens, the queue is stopped longer than it needs to be,
thus reducing network performance.

Fix: Move netif_stop_queue() in front of usb_submit_urb(). Now the order
is always correct. In case, usb_submit_urb() fails, the queue is woken up
again as callback will not fire.

Testing: This racing condition is usually not noticeable, as it has to
occur very frequently to slowdown the network. The callback from the USB
is usually triggered slow enough, so the situation does not appear.
However, on a Ubuntu Linux on VMWare Workstation, running on Windows 10,
the we loose the race quite often and the following speedup can be noticed:

[ Upstream commit 135dd9594f127c8a82d141c3c8430e9e2143216a ]

Querying EEPROM high pages data for SFP module is currently
not supported by our driver but is still tried, resulting in
invalid FW queries.

Set the EEPROM ethtool data length to 256 for SFP module to
limit the reading for page 0 only and prevent invalid FW queries.

commit 6314dab4b8fb8493d810e175cb340376052c69b6 upstream.

The GetNtbFormat and SetNtbFormat requests operate on 16 bit little
endian values. We get away with ignoring this most of the time, because
we only care about USB_CDC_NCM_NTB16_FORMAT which is 0x0000.  This
fails for USB_CDC_NCM_NTB32_FORMAT.

Fix comparison between LE value from device and constant by converting
the constant to LE.
