0abc8bf4f2 netfilter: add missing IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK) checks to some header-files.
struct nf_conn contains a "struct nf_conntrack ct_general" member and
struct net contains a "struct netns_ct ct" member which are both only
defined in CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK is enabled.  These members are used in a
number of inline functions defined in other header-files.  Added
preprocessor checks to make sure the headers will compile if
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK is disabled.

47e640af2e netfilter: add missing IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NF_TABLES) check to header-file.
nf_tables.h defines an API comprising several inline functions and
macros that depend on the nft member of struct net.  However, this is
only defined is CONFIG_NF_TABLES is enabled.  Added preprocessor checks
to ensure that nf_tables.h will compile if CONFIG_NF_TABLES is disabled.

bd96b4c756 netfilter: inline four headers files into another one.
linux/netfilter/ipset/ip_set.h included four other header files:

  include/linux/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_comment.h
  include/linux/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_counter.h
  include/linux/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_skbinfo.h
  include/linux/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_timeout.h

Of these the first three were not included anywhere else.  The last,
ip_set_timeout.h, was included in a couple of other places, but defined
inline functions which call other inline functions defined in ip_set.h,
so ip_set.h had to be included before it.

Inlined all four into ip_set.h, and updated the other files that
included ip_set_timeout.h.

Vivien Didelot says:

====================
net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: prepare Wait Bit operation

The Remote Management Interface has its own implementation of a Wait
Bit operation, which requires a bit number and a value to wait for.

In order to prepare the introduction of this implementation, rework the
code waiting for bits and masks in mv88e6xxx to match this signature.

This has the benefit to unify the implementation of wait routines while
removing obsolete wait and update functions and also reducing the code.

Now that we have proper Wait Bit and Wait Mask routines, remove the
unused mv88e6xxx_wait routine and its Global 1 and Global 2 variants.

The indirect tables such as the Device Mapping Table or Priority
Override Table make use of an Update bit to distinguish reading (0)
from writing (1) operations. After a write operation occurs, the bit
self clears right away so there's no need to wait on it. Thus keep
things simple and remove the mv88e6xxx_update helper as well.

19fb7f69da net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: introduce wait bit routine
Many portions of the driver need to wait until a given bit is set
or cleared. Some busses even have a specific implementation for this
operation. In preparation for such variant, implement a generic Wait
Bit routine that can be used by the driver core functions.

This allows us to get rid of the custom implementations we may find
in the driver. Note that for the EEPROM bits, BUSY and RUNNING bits
are independent, thus it is more efficient to wait independently for
each bit instead of waiting for their mask.

This adds support for the integrated 2.5Gbps PHY in Realtek RTL8125.
Advertisement of 2.5Gbps mode is done via a vendor-specific register.
Same applies to reading NBase-T link partner advertisement.
Unfortunately this 2.5Gbps PHY shares the PHY ID with the integrated
1Gbps PHY's in other Realtek network chips and so far no method is
known to differentiate them. As a workaround use a dedicated fake PHY ID
that is set by the network driver by intercepting the MDIO PHY ID read.

v2:
- Create dedicated PHY driver and use a fake PHY ID that is injected by
  the network driver. Suggested by Andrew Lunn.

The integrated PHY in 2.5Gbps chip RTL8125 is the first (known to me)
PHY that uses standard Clause 22 for all modes up to 1Gbps and adds

the standard part little extensions are needed:
- Move most of genphy_config_aneg to a new function
  __genphy_config_aneg that takes a parameter whether restarting
  auto-negotiation is needed (depending on whether content of
  vendor-specific advertisement register changed).
- Don't clear phydev->lp_advertising in genphy_read_status so that

6e5ee48339 Merge branch 'drop_monitor-Capture-dropped-packets-and-metadata'
Ido Schimmel says:

====================
drop_monitor: Capture dropped packets and metadata

So far drop monitor supported only one mode of operation in which a
summary of recent packet drops is periodically sent to user space as a
netlink event. The event only includes the drop location (program
counter) and number of drops in the last interval.

While this mode of operation allows one to understand if the system is
dropping packets, it is not sufficient if a more detailed analysis is
required. Both the packet itself and related metadata are missing.

This patchset extends drop monitor with another mode of operation where
the packet - potentially truncated - and metadata (e.g., drop location,
timestamp, netdev) are sent to user space as a netlink event. Thanks to
the extensible nature of netlink, more metadata can be added in the
future.

To avoid performing expensive operations in the context in which
kfree_skb() is called, the dropped skbs are cloned and queued on per-CPU
skb drop list. The list is then processed in process context (using a
workqueue), where the netlink messages are allocated, prepared and
finally sent to user space.

A follow-up patchset will integrate drop monitor with devlink and allow
the latter to call into drop monitor to report hardware drops. In the
future, XDP drops can be added as well, thereby making drop monitor the
go-to netlink channel for diagnosing all packet drops.

Example usage with patched dropwatch [1] can be found here [2]. Example
dissection of drop monitor netlink events with patched wireshark [3] can
be found here [4]. I will submit both changes upstream after the kernel
changes are accepted. Another change worth making is adding a dropmon
pseudo interface to libpcap, similar to the nflog interface [5]. This
will allow users to specifically listen on dropmon traffic instead of
capturing all netlink packets via the nlmon netdev.

Patches #1-#5 prepare the code towards the actual changes in later
patches.

Patch #6 adds another mode of operation to drop monitor in which the
dropped packet itself is notified to user space along with metadata.

Patch #7 allows users to truncate reported packets to a specific length,
in case only the headers are of interest. The original length of the
packet is added as metadata to the netlink notification.

Patch #8 allows user to query the current configuration of drop monitor
(e.g., alert mode, truncation length).

Patches #9-#10 allow users to tune the length of the per-CPU skb drop
list according to their needs.

Changes since v1 [6]:
* Add skb protocol as metadata. This allows user space to correctly
  dissect the packet instead of blindly assuming it is an Ethernet
  packet

Changes since RFC [7]:
* Limit the length of the per-CPU skb drop list and make it configurable
* Do not use the hysteresis timer in packet alert mode
* Introduce alert mode operations in a separate patch and only then
  introduce the new alert mode
* Use 'skb->skb_iif' instead of 'skb->dev' because the latter is inside
  a union with 'dev_scratch' and therefore not guaranteed to point to a
  valid netdev
* Return '-EBUSY' instead of '-EOPNOTSUPP' when trying to configure drop
  monitor while it is monitoring
* Did not change schedule_work() in favor of schedule_work_on() as I did
  not observe a change in number of tail drops

ca30707dee drop_monitor: Add packet alert mode
So far drop monitor supported only one alert mode in which a summary of
locations in which packets were recently dropped was sent to user space.

This alert mode is sufficient in order to understand that packets were
dropped, but lacks information to perform a more detailed analysis.

Add a new alert mode in which the dropped packet itself is passed to
user space along with metadata: The drop location (as program counter
and resolved symbol), ingress netdevice and drop timestamp. More
metadata can be added in the future.

To avoid performing expensive operations in the context in which
kfree_skb() is invoked (can be hard IRQ), the dropped skb is cloned and
queued on per-CPU skb drop list. Then, in process context the netlink
message is allocated, prepared and finally sent to user space.

The per-CPU skb drop list is limited to 1000 skbs to prevent exhausting
the system's memory. Subsequent patches will make this limit
configurable and also add a counter that indicates how many skbs were

44075f5637 drop_monitor: Reset per-CPU data before starting to trace
The function reset_per_cpu_data() allocates and prepares a new skb for
the summary netlink alert message ('NET_DM_CMD_ALERT'). The new skb is
stored in the per-CPU 'data' variable and the old is returned.

The function is invoked during module initialization and from the
workqueue, before an alert is sent. This means that it is possible to
receive an alert with stale data, if we stopped tracing when the
hysteresis timer ('data->send_timer') was pending.

Instead of invoking the function during module initialization, invoke it
just before we start tracing and ensure we get a fresh skb.

This also allows us to remove the calls to initialize the timer and the
work item from the module initialization path, since both could have
been triggered by the error paths of reset_per_cpu_data().

functionality by splitting the tracing enable / disable operations into
two different functions.

2cc2743d8f Merge branch 'Networking-driver-debugfs-cleanups'
Greg Kroah-Hartman says:

====================
Networking driver debugfs cleanups

There is no need to test the result of any debugfs call anymore.  The
debugfs core warns the user if something fails, and the return value of
a debugfs call can always be fed back into another debugfs call with no
problems.

Also, debugfs is for debugging, so if there are problems with debugfs
(i.e. the system is out of memory) the rest of the kernel should not
change behavior, so testing for debugfs calls is pointless and not the
goal of debugfs at all.

This series cleans up a lot of networking drivers and some wimax code
that was calling debugfs and trying to do something with the return
value that it didn't need to.  Removing this logic makes the code
smaller, easier to understand, and use less run-time memory in some
cases, all good things.

The series is against net-next, and have no dependancies between any of
them if they want to go through any random tree/order.  Or, if wanted,
I can take them through my driver-core tree where other debugfs cleanups
are being slowly fed during major merge windows.

v3: fix build warning in i2400m, I thought I had caught them all :(
    add acks from some reviewers

v2: fix up build warnings, it's as if I never even built these.  Ugh, so
    sorry for wasting people's time with the v1 series.  I need to stop
    relying on 0-day as it isn't working well anymore :(

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value.  The function can work or not, but the code logic should
never do something different based on this.

Because we don't care about the individual files, we can remove the
stored dentry for the files, as they are not needed to be kept track of
at all.

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value.  The function can work or not, but the code logic should
never do something different based on this.

If a debugfs call fails, it will properly warn in the syslog, there's no
need for all individual drivers to also print a message, so that is one
more reason to not care about checking the return values.
