<title>net: ethernet: support of_get_mac_address new ERR_PTR error</title>

<content type='text'>
There was NVMEM support added to of_get_mac_address, so it could now
return ERR_PTR encoded error values, so we need to adjust all current
users of of_get_mac_address to this new fact.

While at it, remove superfluous is_valid_ether_addr as the MAC address
returned from of_get_mac_address is always valid and checked by
is_valid_ether_addr anyway.

<title>net: dsa: Allow drivers to filter packets they can decode source port from</title>

<id>cc1939e4b3aaf534fb2f3706820012036825731c</id>
<content type='text'>
Frames get processed by DSA and redirected to switch port net devices
based on the ETH_P_XDSA multiplexed packet_type handler found by the
network stack when calling eth_type_trans().

The running assumption is that once the DSA .rcv function is called, DSA
is always able to decode the switch tag in order to change the skb-&gt;dev
from its master.

However there are tagging protocols (such as the new DSA_TAG_PROTO_SJA1105,
user of DSA_TAG_PROTO_8021Q) where this assumption is not completely
true, since switch tagging piggybacks on the absence of a vlan_filtering
bridge. Moreover, management traffic (BPDU, PTP) for this switch doesn't
rely on switch tagging, but on a different mechanism. So it would make
sense to at least be able to terminate that.

Having DSA receive traffic it can't decode would put it in an impossible
situation: the eth_type_trans() function would invoke the DSA .rcv(),
which could not change skb-&gt;dev, then eth_type_trans() would be invoked
again, which again would call the DSA .rcv, and the packet would never
be able to exit the DSA filter and would spiral in a loop until the
whole system dies.

This happens because eth_type_trans() doesn't actually look at the skb
(so as to identify a potential tag) when it deems it as being
ETH_P_XDSA. It just checks whether skb-&gt;dev has a DSA private pointer
installed (therefore it's a DSA master) and that there exists a .rcv
callback (everybody except DSA_TAG_PROTO_NONE has that). This is
understandable as there are many switch tags out there, and exhaustively
checking for all of them is far from ideal.

The solution lies in introducing a filtering function for each tagging
protocol. In the absence of a filtering function, all traffic is passed
to the .rcv DSA callback. The tagging protocol should see the filtering
function as a pre-validation that it can decode the incoming skb. The
traffic that doesn't match the filter will bypass the DSA .rcv callback
and be left on the master netdevice, which wasn't previously possible.

This new argument will be used in the next patches for the
eth_get_headlen use case. eth_get_headlen calls flow dissector
with only data (without skb) so there is currently no way to
pull attached BPF flow dissector program. With this new argument,
we can amend the callers to explicitly pass network namespace
so we can use attached BPF program.

netperf udp stream shows that eth_type_trans takes certain cpu,
so adjust the mac address check order, and firstly check if it
is device address, and only check if it is multicast address
only if not the device address.

After this change:
To unicast, and skb dst mac is device mac, this is most of time
reduce a comparision
To unicast, and skb dst mac is not device mac, nothing change
To multicast, increase a comparision

Before:
1.03%  [kernel]          [k] eth_type_trans

Manage pending per-NAPI GRO packets via list_head.

Return an SKB pointer from the GRO receive handlers.  When GRO receive
handlers return non-NULL, it means that this SKB needs to be completed
at this time and removed from the NAPI queue.

Several operations are greatly simplified by this transformation,
especially timing out the oldest SKB in the list when gro_count
exceeds MAX_GRO_SKBS, and napi_gro_flush() which walks the queue
in reverse order.
