<content type='text'>
This patch adds a new port attribute, IFLA_BRPORT_MRP_RING_OPEN, which allows
to notify the userspace when the port lost the continuite of MRP frames.

This attribute is set by kernel whenever the SW or HW detects that the ring is
being open or closed.

This patch adds new netlink attribute to allow a user to (optionally)
specify the desired offload mode immediately upon MACSec link creation.

Separate iproute patch will be required to support this from user space.

<title>xdp: Support specifying expected existing program when attaching XDP</title>

<content type='text'>
While it is currently possible for userspace to specify that an existing
XDP program should not be replaced when attaching to an interface, there is
no mechanism to safely replace a specific XDP program with another.

This patch adds a new netlink attribute, IFLA_XDP_EXPECTED_FD, which can be
set along with IFLA_XDP_FD. If set, the kernel will check that the program
currently loaded on the interface matches the expected one, and fail the
operation if it does not. This corresponds to a 'cmpxchg' memory operation.
Setting the new attribute with a negative value means that no program is
expected to be attached, which corresponds to setting the UPDATE_IF_NOEXIST
flag.

A new companion flag, XDP_FLAGS_REPLACE, is also added to explicitly
request checking of the EXPECTED_FD attribute. This is needed for userspace
to discover whether the kernel supports the new attribute.

<title>net: Special handling for IP &amp; MPLS.</title>

<content type='text'>
Special handling is needed in bareudp module for IP &amp; MPLS as they
support more than one ethertypes.

MPLS has 2 ethertypes. 0x8847 for MPLS unicast and 0x8848 for MPLS multicast.
While decapsulating MPLS packet from UDP packet the tunnel destination IP
address is checked to determine the ethertype. The ethertype of the packet
will be set to 0x8848 if the  tunnel destination IP address is a multicast
IP address. The ethertype of the packet will be set to 0x8847 if the
tunnel destination IP address is a unicast IP address.

IP has 2 ethertypes.0x0800 for IPV4 and 0x86dd for IPv6. The version
field of the IP header tunnelled will be checked to determine the ethertype.

This special handling to tunnel additional ethertypes will be disabled
by default and can be enabled using a flag called multiproto. This flag can
be used only with ethertypes 0x8847 and 0x0800.

This patch introduces the macsec_context structure. It will be used
in the kernel to exchange information between the common MACsec
implementation (macsec.c) and the MACsec hardware offloading
implementations. This structure contains pointers to MACsec specific
structures which contain the actual MACsec configuration, and to the
underlying device (phydev for now).

Permanent hardware address of a network device was traditionally provided
via ethtool ioctl interface but as Jiri Pirko pointed out in a review of
ethtool netlink interface, rtnetlink is much more suitable for it so let's
add it to the RTM_NEWLINK message.

Add IFLA_PERM_ADDRESS attribute to RTM_NEWLINK messages unless the
permanent address is all zeros (i.e. device driver did not fill it). As
permanent address is not modifiable, reject userspace requests containing
IFLA_PERM_ADDRESS attribute.

Note: we already provide permanent hardware address for bond slaves;
unfortunately we cannot drop that attribute for backward compatibility
reasons.

v5 -&gt; v6: only add the attribute if permanent address is not zero
