commit 5e5ec1759dd663a1d5a2f10930224dd009e500e8 upstream.

This patch will fix regression caused by commit 1e793f6fc0db ("scsi:
megaraid_sas: Fix data integrity failure for JBOD (passthrough)
devices").

The problem was that the MEGASAS_IS_LOGICAL macro did not have braces
and as a result the driver ended up exposing a lot of non-existing SCSI
devices (all SCSI commands to channels 1,2,3 were returned as
SUCCESS-DID_OK by driver).

[mkp: clarified patch description]

commit 1e793f6fc0db920400574211c48f9157a37e3945 upstream.

Commit 02b01e010afe ("megaraid_sas: return sync cache call with
success") modified the driver to successfully complete SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE
commands without passing them to the controller. Disk drive caches are
only explicitly managed by controller firmware when operating in RAID
mode. So this commit effectively disabled writeback cache flushing for
any drives used in JBOD mode, leading to data integrity failures.

[ Upstream commit e0f841f5cbf2a195c63f3441f3d8ef1cd2bdeeed ]

Even if sending SCIs is explicitly disabled, the code that creates the
Security Tag might still decide to add it (e.g. if multiple RX SCs are
defined on the MACsec interface).
But because the header length so far only depended on the configuration
option the SCI overwrote the original frame's contents (EtherType and
e.g. the beginning of the IP header) and if encrypted did not visibly
end up in the packet, while the SC flag in the TCI field of the Security
Tag was still set, resulting in invalid MACsec frames.

[ Upstream commit e52fed7177f74382f742c27de2cc5314790aebb6 ]

The Hyper-V netvsc driver was looking at the incorrect status bits
in the checksum info. It was setting the receive checksum unnecessary
flag based on the IP header checksum being correct. The checksum
flag is skb is about TCP and UDP checksum status. Because of this
bug, any packet received with bad TCP checksum would be passed
up the stack and to the application causing data corruption.
The problem is reproducible via netcat and netem.

This had a side effect of not doing receive checksum offload
on IPv6. The driver was also also always doing checksum offload
independent of the checksum setting done via ethtool.

Commit 3ac72b7b63d5 ("net: fec: align IP header in hardware") breaks
networking on mx28.

There is an erratum on mx28 (ENGR121613 - ENET big endian mode
not compatible with ARM little endian) that requires an additional
byte-swap operation to workaround this problem.

So call swap_buffer() prior to performing the IP header alignment
to restore network functionality on mx28.

<title>net: add recursion limit to GRO</title>

[ Upstream commit fcd91dd449867c6bfe56a81cabba76b829fd05cd ]

Currently, GRO can do unlimited recursion through the gro_receive
handlers.  This was fixed for tunneling protocols by limiting tunnel GRO
to one level with encap_mark, but both VLAN and TEB still have this
problem.  Thus, the kernel is vulnerable to a stack overflow, if we
receive a packet composed entirely of VLAN headers.

This patch adds a recursion counter to the GRO layer to prevent stack
overflow.  When a gro_receive function hits the recursion limit, GRO is
aborted for this skb and it is processed normally.  This recursion
counter is put in the GRO CB, but could be turned into a percpu counter
if we run out of space in the CB.

Thanks to Vladimír Beneš &lt;vbenes@redhat.com&gt; for the initial bug report.

[ Upstream commit 958b3d396d7f80755e2c2e6a8f873a669f38de10 ]

In cases where the number of tx rings is not a multiple of the number of
rx rings, the tx completion event will be handled on a different core
from the transmit and population of the ring. Races on the ring will
lead to a double-free of the page, and possibly other corruption.

The rings are initialized by default with a valid multiple of rings,
based on the number of cpus, therefore an invalid configuration requires
ethtool to change the ring layout. For instance 'ethtool -L eth0 rx 9 tx
8' will cause packets received on rx0, and XDP_TX'd to tx48, to be
completed on cpu3 (48 % 9 == 3).

Resolve this discrepancy by shifting the irq for the xdp tx queues to
start again from 0, modulo rx_ring_num.

[ Upstream commit fc791b6335152c5278dc4a4991bcb2d329f806f9 ]

After the commit 9207f9d45b0a ("net: preserve IP control block
during GSO segmentation"), the GSO CB and the IPoIB CB conflict.
That destroy the IPoIB address information cached there,
causing a severe performance regression, as better described here:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&amp;m=146787279825501&amp;w=2

This change moves the data cached by the IPoIB driver from the
skb control lock into the IPoIB hard header, as done before
the commit 936d7de3d736 ("IPoIB: Stop lying about hard_header_len
and use skb-&gt;cb to stash LL addresses").
In order to avoid GRO issue, on packet reception, the IPoIB driver
stash into the skb a dummy pseudo header, so that the received
packets have actually a hard header matching the declared length.
To avoid changing the connected mode maximum mtu, the allocated
head buffer size is increased by the pseudo header length.

After this commit, IPoIB performances are back to pre-regression
value.

[ Upstream commit fc791b6335152c5278dc4a4991bcb2d329f806f9 ]

After the commit 9207f9d45b0a ("net: preserve IP control block
during GSO segmentation"), the GSO CB and the IPoIB CB conflict.
That destroy the IPoIB address information cached there,
causing a severe performance regression, as better described here:

[ Upstream commit 3c293f4e08b58ad5b78f78d89ca1fd41f87f8729 ]

The phy_start() is used to indicate the PHY is now ready to do its
work. The state is changed, normally to PHY_UP which means that both
the MAC and the PHY are ready.

If the phy driver is using polling, when the next poll happens, the
state machine notices the PHY is now in PHY_UP, and kicks off
auto-negotiation, if needed.

If however, the PHY is using interrupts, there is no polling. The phy
is stuck in PHY_UP until the next interrupt comes along. And there is
no reason for the PHY to interrupt.

Have phy_start() schedule the state machine to run, which both speeds
up the polling use case, and makes the interrupt use case actually
work.

This problems exists whenever there is a state change which will not
cause an interrupt. Trigger the state machine in these cases,
e.g. phy_error().
