VxLAN offloading is not functional if the NIC is running in multichannel
mode (UMC, FLEX-10, VNIC...). Enabling this additionally kills whole
connectivity through the NIC and the device needs to be down and up to
restore it. The firmware should take care about it and does not allow
the conversion of interface to tunnel type (be_cmd_manage_iface) or should
support VxLAN offloading if multichannel config is enabled.
I have tested this on the latest available firmware (10.6.144.21).

<title>be2net: protect eqo-&gt;affinity_mask from getting freed twice</title>

<content type='text'>
There are paths in the driver such as an unrecoverable error (UE) detection
followed by a driver unload wherein be_clear() is invoked twice.
Individual data structures are reset so that they are not cleaned/freed
twice. This patch does the same for eqo-&gt;affinity_mask. It is freed only
if EQs haven't yet been destroyed. This fixes a possible crash when
affinity_mask is freed twice.

<title>be2net: post buffers before destroying RXQs in Lancer</title>

<content type='text'>
An RX stall issue was seen on Lancer adapters, when RXQs are destroyed
while they are in an "out of buffer" state. This patch fixes this issue
by posting 64 buffers to each RXQ before destroying them in the close path.
This is done after ensuring that no more new packets are selected for
transfer to the RXQs by disabling interface filters.

<title>be2net: enable IFACE filters only after creating RXQs</title>

<id>bcc84140a62c04f522eacceb793e6eef92965c84</id>
<content type='text'>
HW issues were observed on Lancer adapters if IFACE filters
(flags, mac addrs etc) are enabled *before* creating RXQs.  This patch
changes the driver design by enabling filters in be_open() --
instead of be_setup() -- after RXQs are created and buffers posted.
Two new wrapper functions, be_enable_if_filters() and
be_disable_if_filters() are introduced to enable/disable IFACE filters in
be_open()/be_close() respectively. In be_setup() the IFACE is now created
only with the RSS flag.

<title>switchdev; add VLAN support for port's bridge_getlink</title>

One more missing piece of the puzzle.  Add vlan dump support to switchdev
port's bridge_getlink.  iproute2 "bridge vlan show" cmd already knows how
to show the vlans installed on the bridge and the device , but (until now)
no one implemented the port vlan part of the netlink PF_BRIDGE:RTM_GETLINK
msg.  Before this patch, "bridge vlan show":

	$ bridge -c vlan show
	port    vlan ids
	sw1p1    30-34			&lt;&lt; bridge side vlans
		 57

	sw1p1				&lt;&lt; device side vlans (missing)

	sw1p2    57

	sw1p2

	sw1p3

	sw1p4

	br0     None

(When the port is bridged, the output repeats the vlan list for the vlans
on the bridge side of the port and the vlans on the device side of the
port.  The listing above show no vlans for the device side even though they
are installed).

After this patch:

	$ bridge -c vlan show
	port    vlan ids
	sw1p1    30-34			&lt;&lt; bridge side vlan
		 57

	sw1p1    30-34			&lt;&lt; device side vlans
		 57
		 3840 PVID

	sw1p2    57

	sw1p2    57
		 3840 PVID

	sw1p3    3842 PVID

	sw1p4    3843 PVID

	br0     None

I re-used ndo_dflt_bridge_getlink to add vlan fill call-back func.
switchdev support adds an obj dump for VLAN objects, using the same
call-back scheme as FDB dump.  Support included for both compressed and
un-compressed vlan dumps.

This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it.  And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.

However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next.  We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.

No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.

<title>be2net: Replace dma/pci_alloc_coherent() calls with dma_zalloc_coherent()</title>

There are several places in the driver (all in control paths) where
coherent dma memory is being allocated using either dma_alloc_coherent()
or the deprecated pci_alloc_consistent(). All these calls should be
changed to use dma_zalloc_coherent() to avoid uninitialized fields in
data structures backed by this memory.

Conflicts:

	drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/Kconfig
	include/net/mac80211.h

iwlwifi/Kconfig and mac80211.h were both trivial overlapping
changes.

The drivers/net/phy/amd-xgbe-phy.c file got removed in 'net-next' and
the bug fix that happened on the 'net' side is already integrated
into the rest of the amd-xgbe driver.

<title>cpumask_set_cpu_local_first =&gt; cpumask_local_spread, lament</title>

da91309e0a7e (cpumask: Utility function to set n'th cpu...) created a
genuinely weird function.  I never saw it before, it went through DaveM.
(He only does this to make us other maintainers feel better about our own
mistakes.)

cpumask_set_cpu_local_first's purpose is say "I need to spread things
across N online cpus, choose the ones on this numa node first"; you call
it in a loop.

It can fail.  One of the two callers ignores this, the other aborts and
fails the device open.

It can fail in two ways: allocating the off-stack cpumask, or through a
convoluted codepath which AFAICT can only occur if cpu_online_mask
changes.  Which shouldn't happen, because if cpu_online_mask can change
while you call this, it could return a now-offline cpu anyway.

It contains a nonsensical test "!cpumask_of_node(numa_node)".  This was
drawn to my attention by Geert, who said this causes a warning on Sparc.
It sets a single bit in a cpumask instead of returning a cpu number,
because that's what the callers want.

It could be made more efficient by passing the previous cpu rather than
an index, but that would be more invasive to the callers.
