[ Upstream commit 055d88242a6046a1ceac3167290f054c72571cd9 ]

Support for handling the PPPOEIOCSFWD ioctl in compat mode was added in
linux-2.5.69 along with hundreds of other commands, but was always broken
sincen only the structure is compatible, but the command number is not,
due to the size being sizeof(size_t), or at first sizeof(sizeof((struct
sockaddr_pppox)), which is different on 64-bit architectures.

Guillaume Nault adds:

  And the implementation was broken until 2016 (see 29e73269aa4d ("pppoe:
  fix reference counting in PPPoE proxy")), and nobody ever noticed. I
  should probably have removed this ioctl entirely instead of fixing it.
  Clearly, it has never been used.

Fix it by adding a compat_ioctl handler for all pppoe variants that
translates the command number and then calls the regular ioctl function.

All other ioctl commands handled by pppoe are compatible between 32-bit
and 64-bit, and require compat_ptr() conversion.

This should apply to all stable kernels.

[ Upstream commit 4b95840a6ced0634082f6d962ba9aa0ce797f12f ]

Speed translation is performed based on legacy or extended PTYS
register. Translate speed with respect to:
1) Capability bit of extended PTYS table.
2) User request:
 a) When auto-negotiation is turned on, inspect advertisement whether it
 contains extended link modes.
 b) When auto-negotiation is turned off, speed &gt; 100Gbps (maximal
 speed supported in legacy mode).
With both conditions fulfilled translation is done with extended PTYS
table otherwise use legacy PTYS table.
Without this patch 25/50/100 Gbps speed cannot be set, since try to
configure in extended mode but read from legacy mode.

New flow table type RDMA_RX was added but the MLX5_CAP_FLOW_TABLE_TYPE

In commit e891ce1dd2a5 ("mlxsw: spectrum_buffers: Reduce pool size on
Spectrum-2"), pool size was reduced to mitigate a problem in port buffer
usage of ports split four ways. It turns out that this work around does not
solve the issue, and a further reduction is required.

Thus reduce the size of pool 0 by another 2.7 MiB, and round down to the
whole number of cells.

In phy_start_aneg() autoneg is started, and immediately after that
link and autoneg status are read. As reported in [0] it can happen that
at time of this read the PHY has reset the "aneg complete" bit but not

To fix this don't report link as up if we're in aneg mode and PHY

It was reported that after resuming from suspend network fails with
error "do_IRQ: 3.38 No irq handler for vector", see [0]. Enabling WoL
can work around the issue, but the only actual fix is to disable MSI.
So let's mimic the behavior of the vendor driver and disable MSI on

[ Upstream commit 90bb769291161cf25a818d69cf608c181654473e ]

This patch prevents a race between user invoked cached counters
query and a neighbor last usage updater.

The cached flow counter stats can be queried by calling
"mlx5_fc_query_cached" which provides the number of bytes and
packets that passed via this flow since the last time this counter
was queried.
It does so by reducting the last saved stats from the current, cached
stats and then updating the last saved stats with the cached stats.
It also provide the lastuse value for that flow.

Since "mlx5e_tc_update_neigh_used_value" needs to retrieve the
last usage time of encapsulation flows, it calls the flow counter
query method periodically and async to user queries of the flow counter
using cls_flower.
This call is causing the driver to update the last reported bytes and
packets from the cache and therefore, future user queries of the flow
stats will return lower than expected number for bytes and packets
since the last saved stats in the driver was updated async to the last
saved stats in cls_flower.

This causes wrong stats presentation of encapsulation flows to user.

Since the neighbor usage updater only needs the lastuse stats from the
cached counter, the fix is to use a dedicated lastuse query call that
returns the lastuse value without synching between the cached stats and
the last saved stats.

[ Upstream commit 4b663366246be1d1d4b1b8b01245b2e88ad9e706 ]

- v1 -&gt; v2: Move skb_set_owner_w to __tun_build_skb to reduce patch size

Small packets going out of a tap device go through an optimized code
path that uses build_skb() rather than sock_alloc_send_pskb(). The
latter calls skb_set_owner_w(), but the small packet code path does not.

The net effect is that small packets are not owned by the userland
application's socket (e.g. QEMU), while large packets are.
This can be seen with a TCP session, where packets are not owned when
the window size is small enough (around PAGE_SIZE), while they are once
the window grows (note that this requires the host to support virtio
tso for the guest to offload segmentation).
All this leads to inconsistent behaviour in the kernel, especially on
netfilter modules that uses sk-&gt;socket (e.g. xt_owner).

[ Upstream commit c5d139697d5d9ecf9c7cd92d7d7838a173508900 ]

Make sure the delayed work for stats update is not pending before
wq destruction.
This fixes the module unload path.
The issue is there since day 1.

Fixes: a556c76adc05 ("net: mscc: Add initial Ocelot switch support")
