Allocating the main qeth_card struct with GFP_DMA blocks us from moving
it into netdev_priv(). But the only reason why we need DMA memory is the
ccw1 structs embedded into each ccw channel. So extract those into
separate allocations, like we already do for the cmd buffers.

Some transmit modes require that the HW header is located in the same
page as the initial protocol headers in skb->data. Let callers specify
the size of this contiguous header range, and enforce it when building
the HW header.
While at it, apply some gentle renaming to the relevant L2 code so that
it matches the L3 code.

When checking whether an skb needs to be linearized to fit into an IO
buffer, it's desirable to consider the skb's final size and layout
(ie. after the HW header was added). But a subsequent linearization can
then cause the re-positioned HW header to violate its alignment
restrictions.
Dealing with this situation in two different code paths is quite tricky.
This patch integrates a) linearize-check and b) HW header construction
into one 3 step-sequence:
1. evaluate how the HW header needs to be added (to identify if it takes
up an additional buffer element), then
2. check if the required buffer elements exceed the device's limit.
Linearize when necessary and re-evaluate the HW header placement.
3. Add the HW header in the best-possible way:
a) push, without taking up an additional buffer element
b) push, but consume another buffer element
c) allocate a header object from the cache.

Allocation of the netdevice is currently delayed until a qeth card first
goes online. This complicates matters in several places, where we need
to cache values instead of applying them straight to the netdevice.
Improve on this by moving the allocation up to where the qeth card
itself is created. This is also one step in direction of eventually
placing the qeth card into netdev_priv().
In all subsequent code, remove the now redundant checks whether
card->dev is valid.

*ether_addr*_64bits functions have been introduced to optimize
performance critical paths, which access 6-byte ethernet address as u64
value to get "nice" assembly. A harmless hack works nicely on ethernet
addresses shoved into a structure or a larger buffer, until busted by
Kasan on smth like plain (u8 *)[6].
qeth_l2_set_mac_address calls qeth_l2_remove_mac passing
u8 old_addr[ETH_ALEN] as an argument.
Adding/removing macs for an ethernet adapter is not that performance
critical. Moreover is_multicast_ether_addr_64bits itself on s390 is not
faster than is_multicast_ether_addr:
is_multicast_ether_addr(%r2) -> %r2
llc %r2,0(%r2)
risbg %r2,%r2,63,191,0
is_multicast_ether_addr_64bits(%r2) -> %r2
llgc %r2,0(%r2)
risbg %r2,%r2,63,191,0
So, let's just use is_multicast_ether_addr instead of
is_multicast_ether_addr_64bits.

When qeth_l2_set_mac_address() finds the card in a non-reachable state,
it merely copies the new MAC address into dev->dev_addr so that
__qeth_l2_set_online() can later register it with the HW.
But __qeth_l2_set_online() may very well be running concurrently, so we
can't trust the card state without appropriate locking:
If the online sequence is past the point where it registers
dev->dev_addr (but not yet in SOFTSETUP state), any address change needs
to be properly programmed into the HW. Otherwise the netdevice ends up
with a different MAC address than what's set in the HW, and inbound
traffic is not forwarded as expected.
This is most likely to occur for OSD in LPAR, where
commit 21b1702af12e ("s390/qeth: improve fallback to random MAC address")
now triggers eg. systemd to immediately change the MAC when the netdevice
is registered with a NET_ADDR_RANDOM address.

If READ MAC fails to fetch a valid MAC address, allow some more device
types (IQD and z/VM OSD) to fall back to a random address.
Also use eth_hw_addr_random(), for indicating to userspace that the

Note that while z/VM has various protection schemes to prohibit
custom addresses on its NICs, they are all optional. So we should at

Check if a qeth device supports IPv6 RX checksum offload, and hook it up
into the existing NETIF_F_RXCSUM support.
As NETIF_F_RXCSUM is now backed by a combination of HW Assists, we need
to be a little smarter when dealing with errors during a configuration
change:
- switching on NETIF_F_RXCSUM only makes sense if at least one HW Assist
was enabled successfully.
- for switching off NETIF_F_RXCSUM, all available HW Assists need to be

Submitting a cmd IO request (usually on the WRITE device, but for IDX
also on the READ device) is currently done with ccw_device_start()
and a manual timeout in the caller.
On timeout, the caller cleans up the related resources (eg. IO buffer).
But 1) the IO might still be active and utilize those resources, and
2) when the IO completes, qeth_irq() will attempt to clean up the
same resources again.
Instead of introducing additional resource locking, switch to
ccw_device_start_timeout() to ensure IO termination after timeout, and
let the IRQ handler alone deal with cleaning up after a request.
This also removes a stray write->irq_pending reset from
clear_ipacmd_list(). The routine doesn't terminate any pending IO on
the WRITE device, so this should be handled properly via IO timeout
in the IRQ handler.

Fun set of conflict resolutions here...
For the mac80211 stuff, these were fortunately just parallel
adds. Trivially resolved.
In drivers/net/phy/phy.c we had a bug fix in 'net' that moved the
function phy_disable_interrupts() earlier in the file, whilst in
'net-next' the phy_error() call from this function was removed.
In net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c, David Ahern's changes to remove the
'rt_table_id' member of rtable collided with a bug fix in 'net' that
added a new struct member "rt_mtu_locked" which needs to be copied
over here.
The mlxsw driver conflict consisted of net-next separating
the span code and definitions into separate files, whilst
a 'net' bug fix made some changes to that moved code.
The mlx5 infiniband conflict resolution was quite non-trivial,
the RDMA tree's merge commit was used as a guide here, and
here are their notes:
====================
Due to bug fixes found by the syzkaller bot and taken into the for-rc
branch after development for the 4.17 merge window had already started
being taken into the for-next branch, there were fairly non-trivial
merge issues that would need to be resolved between the for-rc branch
and the for-next branch. This merge resolves those conflicts and
provides a unified base upon which ongoing development for 4.17 can
be based.
Conflicts:
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.c - Commit 42cea83f9524
(IB/mlx5: Fix cleanup order on unload) added to for-rc and
commit b5ca15ad7e61 (IB/mlx5: Add proper representors support)
add as part of the devel cycle both needed to modify the
init/de-init functions used by mlx5. To support the new
representors, the new functions added by the cleanup patch
needed to be made non-static, and the init/de-init list
added by the representors patch needed to be modified to
match the init/de-init list changes made by the cleanup
patch.
Updates:
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/mlx5_ib.h - Update function
prototypes added by representors patch to reflect new function
names as changed by cleanup patch

On removal, a qeth card's netdevice is currently not properly freed
because the call chain looks as follows:
qeth_core_remove_device(card)
lx_remove_device(card)
unregister_netdev(card->dev)
card->dev = NULL !!!
qeth_core_free_card(card)
if (card->dev) !!!
free_netdev(card->dev)
Fix it by free'ing the netdev straight after unregistering. This also
fixes the sysfs-driven layer switch case (qeth_dev_layer2_store()),
where the need to free the current netdevice was not considered at all.
Note that free_netdev() takes care of the netif_napi_del() for us too.

napi_alloc_skb() doesn't need to disable IRQs during the allocation,
and thus may save us a few cycles.
Doing so requires a small fix-up in the HiperTransport path, which
currently assumes a fixed NET_SKB_PAD headroom padding. napi_alloc_skb()
adds an additional NET_IP_ALIGN padding, so use the proper helper for
setting up the mac_header offset.

Using GSO with small MTUs currently results in a substantial throughput
regression - which is caused by how qeth needs to map non-linear skbs
into its IO buffer elements:
compared to a linear skb, each GSO-segmented skb effectively consumes
twice as many buffer elements (ie two instead of one) due to the
additional header-only part. This causes the Output Queue to be
congested with low-utilized IO buffers.
Fix this as follows:
If the MSS is low enough so that a non-SG GSO segmentation produces
order-0 skbs (currently ~3500 byte), opt out from NETIF_F_SG. This is
where we anticipate the biggest savings, since an SG-enabled
GSO segmentation produces skbs that always consume at least two
buffer elements.
Larger MSS values continue to get a SG-enabled GSO segmentation, since
1) the relative overhead of the additional header-only buffer element
becomes less noticeable, and
2) the linearization overhead increases.
With the throughput regression fixed, re-enable NETIF_F_SG by default to
reap the significant CPU savings of GSO.

additional commands for getting and setting timeouts are available.
Currently, the learning VNICC uses these commands.

learns the source MAC addresses of outgoing packets and incoming

For learning, the timeout specifies the idle period in seconds, after
which the underlying hardware removes a learned MAC address again.
This patch adds support for the IPA commands that are required to get
and set the current timeout values for the learning VNIC characteristic.
Also, it introduces the sysfs interface that allows users to configure
the timeout.

HiperSocket devices allow enabling and disabling so called VNIC
Characteristics (VNICC) that influence how the underlying hardware
handles packets. These VNICCs are:
* Flooding VNICC: Flooding allows specifying if packets to unknown
destination MAC addresses are received by the qeth device.
* Multicast flooding VNICC: Multicast flooding allows specifying if
packets to multicast MAC addresses are received by the qeth device.
* Learning VNICC: If learning is enabled on a qeth device, the device
learns the source MAC addresses of outgoing packets and incoming
packets to those learned MAC addresses are received.
* Takeover setvmac VNICC: If takeover setvmac is configured on a qeth
device, the MAC address of this device can be configured on a
different qeth device with the setvmac IPA command.
* Takeover by learning VNICC: If takeover learning is enabled on a qeth
device, the MAC address of this device can be learned (learning VNICC)
on a different qeth device.
* BridgePort invisible VNICC: If BridgePort invisible is enabled on a
qeth device, (1) packets from this device are not sent to a BridgePort
enabled qeth device and (2) packets coming from a BridgePort enabled
qeth device are not received by this device.
* Receive broadcast VNICC: Receive broadcast allows configuring if a
qeth device receives packets with the broadcast destination MAC
address.
This patch adds support for the IPA commands that are required to enable
and disable these VNIC characteristics on qeth devices. As a
prerequisite, it also adds the query commands IPA command.
The query commands IPA command allows requesting the supported commands
for each characteristic from the underlying hardware.
Additionally, this patch provides users with a sysfs user interface to
enable/disable the VNICCs mentioned above.

VNIC Characteristics (VNICC) are features of HiperSockets that define
how packets are handled by the underlying network hardware. For example,
if the VNICC flooding is configured on a qeth device, ethernet frames to
unknown destination MAC addresses are received.
Currently, there is support for seven VNICCs: flooding, multicast
flooding, receive broadcast, learning, takeover learning, takeover
setvmac, bridge invisible. Also, six IPA commands exist for configuring
VNICCs on a qeth device: query characteristics, query commands, enable
characteristic, disable characteristic, set timeout, get timeout.
This patch adds the basic code infrastructure for VNICC support to qeth.
It allows querying VNICC support from the underlying hardware. To this
end, it adds:
* basic message formats for IPA commands
* basic data structures
* basic error handling
* query characteristics IPA command support
The query characteristics IPA command allows requesting the currently
supported and currently enabled VNIC characteristics from the underlying
hardware.
Support for the other IPA commands and for the configuration of VNICCs
is added in follow-up patches together with the respective user
interface functions.
