This patch removes variables and callback these are related to the nested
device structure.
devices that can be nested have their own nest_level variable that
represents the depth of nested devices.
In the previous patch, new {lower/upper}_level variables are added and
they replace old private nest_level variable.
So, this patch removes all 'nest_level' variables.

In order to avoid lockdep warning, -&gt;ndo_get_lock_subclass() was added
to get lockdep subclass value, which is actually lower nested depth value.
But now, they use the dynamic lockdep key to avoid lockdep warning instead
of the subclass.
So, this patch removes -&gt;ndo_get_lock_subclass() callback.

<title>net: core: add ignore flag to netdev_adjacent structure</title>

In order to link an adjacent node, netdev_upper_dev_link() is used
and in order to unlink an adjacent node, netdev_upper_dev_unlink() is used.
unlink operation does not fail, but link operation can fail.

In order to exchange adjacent nodes, we should unlink an old adjacent
node first. then, link a new adjacent node.
If link operation is failed, we should link an old adjacent node again.
But this link operation can fail too.
It eventually breaks the adjacent link relationship.

This patch adds an ignore flag into the netdev_adjacent structure.
If this flag is set, netdev_upper_dev_link() ignores an old adjacent
node for a moment.

This patch also adds new functions for other modules.
netdev_adjacent_change_prepare()
netdev_adjacent_change_commit()
netdev_adjacent_change_abort()

netdev_adjacent_change_prepare() inserts new device into adjacent list
but new device is not allowed to use immediately.
If netdev_adjacent_change_prepare() fails, it internally rollbacks
adjacent list so that we don't need any other action.
netdev_adjacent_change_commit() deletes old device in the adjacent list
and allows new device to use.
netdev_adjacent_change_abort() rollbacks adjacent list.

Some interface types could be nested.
(VLAN, BONDING, TEAM, MACSEC, MACVLAN, IPVLAN, VIRT_WIFI, VXLAN, etc..)
These interface types should set lockdep class because, without lockdep
class key, lockdep always warn about unexisting circular locking.

In the current code, these interfaces have their own lockdep class keys and
these manage itself. So that there are so many duplicate code around the
/driver/net and /net/.
This patch adds new generic lockdep keys and some helper functions for it.

This patch does below changes.
a) Add lockdep class keys in struct net_device
   - qdisc_running, xmit, addr_list, qdisc_busylock
   - these keys are used as dynamic lockdep key.
b) When net_device is being allocated, lockdep keys are registered.
   - alloc_netdev_mqs()
c) When net_device is being free'd llockdep keys are unregistered.
   - free_netdev()
d) Add generic lockdep key helper function
   - netdev_register_lockdep_key()
   - netdev_unregister_lockdep_key()
   - netdev_update_lockdep_key()
e) Remove unnecessary generic lockdep macro and functions
f) Remove unnecessary lockdep code of each interfaces.

After this patch, each interface modules don't need to maintain
their lockdep keys.

Current code doesn't limit the number of nested devices.
Nested devices would be handled recursively and this needs huge stack
memory. So, unlimited nested devices could make stack overflow.

This patch adds upper_level and lower_level, they are common variables
and represent maximum lower/upper depth.
When upper/lower device is attached or dettached,
{lower/upper}_level are updated. and if maximum depth is bigger than 8,
attach routine fails and returns -EMLINK.

In addition, this patch converts recursive routine of
netdev_walk_all_{lower/upper} to iterator routine.

Test commands:
    ip link add dummy0 type dummy
    ip link add link dummy0 name vlan1 type vlan id 1
    ip link set vlan1 up

    for i in {2..55}
    do
	    let A=$i-1

	    ip link add vlan$i link vlan$A type vlan id $i
    done
    ip link del dummy0

<title>taprio: Add support for hardware offloading</title>

This allows taprio to offload the schedule enforcement to capable
network cards, resulting in more precise windows and less CPU usage.

The gate mask acts on traffic classes (groups of queues of same
priority), as specified in IEEE 802.1Q-2018, and following the existing
taprio and mqprio semantics.
It is up to the driver to perform conversion between tc and individual
netdev queues if for some reason it needs to make that distinction.

Full offload is requested from the network interface by specifying
"flags 2" in the tc qdisc creation command, which in turn corresponds to
the TCA_TAPRIO_ATTR_FLAG_FULL_OFFLOAD bit.

The important detail here is the clockid which is implicitly /dev/ptpN
for full offload, and hence not configurable.

A reference counting API is added to support the use case where Ethernet
drivers need to keep the taprio offload structure locally (i.e. they are
a multi-port switch driver, and configuring a port depends on the
settings of other ports as well). The refcount_t variable is kept in a
private structure (__tc_taprio_qopt_offload) and not exposed to drivers.

In the future, the private structure might also be expanded with a
backpointer to taprio_sched *q, to implement the notification system
described in the patch (of when admin became oper, or an error occurred,
etc, so the offload can be monitored with 'tc qdisc show').

====================
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Add the ability to use unaligned chunks in the AF_XDP umem. By
   relaxing where the chunks can be placed, it allows to use an
   arbitrary buffer size and place whenever there is a free
   address in the umem. Helps more seamless DPDK AF_XDP driver
   integration. Support for i40e, ixgbe and mlx5e, from Kevin and
   Maxim.

2) Addition of a wakeup flag for AF_XDP tx and fill rings so the
   application can wake up the kernel for rx/tx processing which
   avoids busy-spinning of the latter, useful when app and driver
   is located on the same core. Support for i40e, ixgbe and mlx5e,
   from Magnus and Maxim.

3) bpftool fixes for printf()-like functions so compiler can actually
   enforce checks, bpftool build system improvements for custom output
   directories, and addition of 'bpftool map freeze' command, from Quentin.

4) Support attaching/detaching XDP programs from 'bpftool net' command,
   from Daniel.

5) Automatic xskmap cleanup when AF_XDP socket is released, and several
   barrier/{read,write}_once fixes in AF_XDP code, from Björn.

6) Relicense of bpf_helpers.h/bpf_endian.h for future libbpf
   inclusion as well as libbpf versioning improvements, from Andrii.

7) Several new BPF kselftests for verifier precision tracking, from Alexei.

8) Several BPF kselftest fixes wrt endianess to run on s390x, from Ilya.

9) And more BPF kselftest improvements all over the place, from Stanislav.

10) Add simple BPF map op cache for nfp driver to batch dumps, from Jakub.

11) AF_XDP socket umem mapping improvements for 32bit archs, from Ivan.

12) Add BPF-to-BPF call and BTF line info support for s390x JIT, from Yauheni.

13) Small optimization in arm64 JIT to spare 1 insns for BPF_MOD, from Jerin.

14) Fix an error check in bpf_tcp_gen_syncookie() helper, from Petar.

15) Various minor fixes and cleanups, from Nathan, Masahiro, Masanari,
    Peter, Wei, Yue.

This is an unlikely case, use unlikely() on it seems logical.

<title>xsk: replace ndo_xsk_async_xmit with ndo_xsk_wakeup</title>

<id>9116e5e2b1fff71dce501d971e86a3695acc3dba</id>
<content type='text'>
This commit replaces ndo_xsk_async_xmit with ndo_xsk_wakeup. This new
ndo provides the same functionality as before but with the addition of
a new flags field that is used to specifiy if Rx, Tx or both should be
woken up. The previous ndo only woke up Tx, as implied by the
name. The i40e and ixgbe drivers (which are all the supported ones)
are updated with this new interface.

This new ndo will be used by the new need_wakeup functionality of XDP
sockets that need to be able to wake up both Rx and Tx driver
processing.

<title>net: use listified RX for handling GRO_NORMAL skbs</title>

When GRO decides not to coalesce a packet, in napi_frags_finish(), instead
 of passing it to the stack immediately, place it on a list in the napi
 struct.  Then, at flush time (napi_complete_done(), napi_poll(), or
 napi_busy_loop()), call netif_receive_skb_list_internal() on the list.
We'd like to do that in napi_gro_flush(), but it's not called if
 !napi-&gt;gro_bitmask, so we have to do it in the callers instead.  (There are
 a handful of drivers that call napi_gro_flush() themselves, but it's not
 clear why, or whether this will affect them.)
Because a full 64 packets is an inefficiently large batch, also consume the
 list whenever it exceeds gro_normal_batch, a new net/core sysctl that
 defaults to 8.

<title>loopback: create blackhole net device similar to loopack.</title>

Create a blackhole net device that can be used for "dead"
dst entries instead of loopback device. This blackhole device differs
from loopback in few aspects: (a) It's not per-ns. (b)  MTU on this
device is ETH_MIN_MTU (c) The xmit function is essentially kfree_skb().
and (d) since it's not registered it won't have ifindex.

Lower MTU effectively make the device not pass the MTU check during
the route check when a dst associated with the skb is dead.
