<title>smsc95xx: use ethtool_op_get_ts_info()</title>

<id>a8f5cb9e79913a6918f87495d4969706f8817b8e</id>
<content type='text'>
This change enables the use of SW timestamping on Raspberry PI.

smsc95xx uses the usbnet transmit function usbnet_start_xmit(), which
implements software timestamping. However the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE
capability was missing and only SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE was announced.
By using ethtool_op_get_ts_info() as get_ts_info() also the
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE is announced.

<title>cdc_ncm: Set NTB format again after altsetting switch for Huawei devices</title>

<id>2b02c20ce0c28974b44e69a2e2f5ddc6a470ad6f</id>
<content type='text'>
Some firmwares in Huawei E3372H devices have been observed to switch back
to NTB 32-bit format after altsetting switch.
This patch implements a driver flag to check for the device settings and
set NTB format to 16-bit again if needed.
The flag has been activated for devices controlled by the huawei_cdc_ncm.c
driver.

V1-&gt;V2:
- fixed broken error checks
- some corrections to the commit message
V2-&gt;V3:
- variable name changes, to clarify what's happening
- check (and possibly set) the NTB format later in the common bind code path

<title>net: cdc_ncm: Reduce memory use when kernel memory low</title>

<id>e1069bbfcf3bcf4feb264397f3451184fd66b907</id>
<content type='text'>
The CDC-NCM driver can require large amounts of memory to create
skb's and this can be a problem when the memory becomes fragmented.

This especially affects embedded systems that have constrained
resources but wish to maximise the throughput of CDC-NCM with 16KiB
NTB's.

The issue is after running for a while the kernel memory can become
fragmented and it needs compacting.
If the NTB allocation is needed before the memory has been compacted
the atomic allocation can fail which can cause increased latency,
large re-transmissions or disconnections depending upon the data
being transmitted at the time.
This situation occurs for less than a second until the kernel has
compacted the memory but the failed devices can take a lot longer to
recover from the failed TX packets.

To ease this temporary situation I modified the CDC-NCM TX path to
temporarily switch into a reduced memory mode which allocates an NTB
that will fit into a USB_CDC_NCM_NTB_MIN_OUT_SIZE (default 2048 Bytes)
sized memory block and only transmit NTB's with a single network frame
until the memory situation is resolved.
Each time this issue occurs we wait for an increasing number of
reduced size allocations before requesting a full size one to not
put additional pressure on a low memory system.

Once the memory is compacted the CDC-NCM data can resume transmitting
at the normal tx_max rate once again.

The Belkin B2B128 is a USB 3.0 Hub + Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, the
Ethernet adapter uses the ASIX AX88179 USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet
chip supported by this driver, add the USB ID for the same.

This patch is based on work by Geoffrey Tran &lt;geoffrey.tran@gmail.com&gt;
who has indicated they would like this upstreamed by someone more
familiar with the upstreaming process.
