For a DSA switch port operating in standalone mode, address learning
doesn't make much sense since that is a bridge function. In fact,
address learning even breaks setups such as this one:
+---------------------------------------------+
| |
| +-------------------+ |
| | br0 | send receive |
| +--------+-+--------+ +--------+ +--------+ |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | swp0 | | swp1 | | swp2 | | swp3 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
+-+--------+-+--------+-+--------+-+--------+-+
| ^ | ^
| | | |
| +-----------+ |
| |
+--------------------------------+
because if the switch has a single FDB (can offload a single bridge)
then source address learning on swp3 can "steal" the source MAC address
of swp2 from br0's FDB, because learning frames coming from swp2 will be
done twice: first on the swp1 ingress port, second on the swp3 ingress
port. So the hardware FDB will become out of sync with the software
bridge, and when swp2 tries to send one more packet towards swp1, the
ASIC will attempt to short-circuit the forwarding path and send it
directly to swp3 (since that's the last port it learned that address on),
which it obviously can't, because swp3 operates in standalone mode.
So DSA drivers operating in standalone mode should still configure a
list of bridge port flags even when they are standalone. Currently DSA
attempts to call dsa_port_bridge_flags with 0, which disables egress
flooding of unknown unicast and multicast, something which doesn't make
much sense. For the switches that implement .port_egress_floods - b53
and mv88e6xxx, it probably doesn't matter too much either, since they
can possibly inject traffic from the CPU into a standalone port,
regardless of MAC DA, even if egress flooding is turned off for that
port, but certainly not all DSA switches can do that - sja1105, for
example, can't. So it makes sense to use a better common default there,
such as "flood everything".
It should also be noted that what DSA calls "dsa_port_bridge_flags()"
is a degenerate name for just calling .port_egress_floods(), since
nothing else is implemented - not learning, in particular. But disabling
address learning, something that this driver is also coding up for, will
be supported by individual drivers once .port_egress_floods is replaced
with a more generic .port_bridge_flags.
Previous attempts to code up this logic have been in the common bridge
layer, but as pointed out by Ido Schimmel, there are corner cases that
are missed when doing that:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20210209151936.97382-5-olteanv@gmail.com/
So, at least for now, let's leave DSA in charge of setting port flags
before and after the bridge join and leave.

For the netlink interface, propagate errors through extack rather than
simply printing them to the console. For the sysfs interface, we still
print to the console, but at least that's one layer higher than in
switchdev, which also allows us to silently ignore the offloading of
flags if that is ever needed in the future.

If for example this command:

net: ipa: some more cleanup
Version 3 of this series uses dev_err_probe() in the second patch,
as suggested by Heiner Kallweit.
Version 2 was sent to ensure the series was based on current
net-next/master, and added copyright updates to files touched.
The original introduction is below.
This is another fairly innocuous set of cleanup patches.
The first was motivated by a bug found that would affect IPA v4.5.
It maintain a new GSI address pointer; one is the "raw" (original
mapped) address, and the other will have been adjusted if necessary
for use on newer platforms.
The second just quiets some unnecessary noise during early probe.
The third fixes some errors that show up when IPA_VALIDATION is
enabled.
The last two just create helper functions to improve readability.

In ipa_cmd_register_write_valid() we verify that values we will
supply to a REGISTER_WRITE IPA immediate command will fit in
the fields that need to hold them. This patch fixes some issues
in that function and ipa_cmd_register_write_offset_valid().
The dev_err() call in ipa_cmd_register_write_offset_valid() has
some printf format errors:
- The name of the register (corresponding to the string format
specifier) was not supplied.
- The IPA base offset and offset need to be supplied separately to
match the other format specifiers.
Also make the ~0 constant used there to compute the maximum
supported offset value explicitly unsigned.
There are two other issues in ipa_cmd_register_write_valid():
- There's no need to check the hash flush register for platforms
(like IPA v4.2) that do not support hashed tables
- The highest possible endpoint number, whose status register
offset is computed, is COUNT - 1, not COUNT.
Fix these problems, and add some additional commentary.

When initializing the IPA core clock and interconnects, it's
possible we'll get an EPROBE_DEFER error. This isn't really an

This patch actually fixes a bug, though it doesn't affect the two
platforms supported currently. The fix implements GSI memory
pointers a bit differently.
For IPA version 4.5 and above, the address space for almost all GSI
registers is adjusted downward by a fixed amount. This is currently
handled by adjusting the I/O virtual address pointer after it has
been mapped. The bug is that the pointer is not "de-adjusted" as it
should be when it's unmapped.
This patch fixes that error, but it does so by maintaining one "raw"
pointer for the mapped memory range. This is assigned when the
memory is mapped and used to unmap the memory. This pointer is also
used to access the two registers that do *not* sit in the "adjusted"
memory space.
Rather than adjusting *that* pointer, we maintain a separate pointer
that's an adjusted copy of the "raw" pointer, and that is used for
most GSI register accesses.

mptcp: Add genl events for connection info
This series from the MPTCP tree adds genl multicast events that are
important for implementing a userspace path manager. In MPTCP, a path
manager is responsible for adding or removing additional subflows on
each MPTCP connection. The in-kernel path manager (already part of the
kernel) is a better fit for many server use cases, but the additional
flexibility of userspace path managers is often useful for client
devices.
Patches 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 do some refactoring to streamline the netlink
event implementation in the final patch.
Patch 3 improves the timeliness of subflow destruction to ensure the
'subflow closed' event will be sent soon enough.
Patch 7 allows use of the GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM flag on genl mcast groups
to mandate CAP_NET_ADMIN, which is important to protect token information
in the MPTCP events. This is a genetlink change.
Patch 8 adds the MPTCP netlink events.

to ease integration of existing tools, e.g. mptcpd.
Supported events include:
1. start and close of an mptcp connection
2. start and close of subflows (joins)
3. announce and withdrawals of addresses
4. subflow priority (backup/non-backup) change.

Depending on the wifi hardware and operating mode, this can significantly
reduce throughput when not operating at the highest available data rate.
In order to be able to significantly reduce the amount of rate sampling,
we need a much smarter selection of probing rates.
The new approach introduced by this patch maintains a limited set of
available rates to be tested during a statistics window.
They are split into distinct categories:
- MINSTREL_SAMPLE_TYPE_INC - incremental rate upgrade:
Pick the next rate group and find the first rate that is faster than
the current max. throughput rate
- MINSTREL_SAMPLE_TYPE_JUMP - random testing of higher rates:
Pick a random rate from the next group that is faster than the current
max throughput rate. This allows faster adaptation when the link changes
significantly
- MINSTREL_SAMPLE_TYPE_SLOW - test a rate between max_prob, max_tp2 and
max_tp in order to reduce the gap between them
In order to prioritize sampling, every 6 attempts are split into 3x INC,
2x JUMP, 1x SLOW.
Available rates are checked and refilled on every stats window update.
With this approach, we finally get a very small delta in throughput when
comparing setting the optimal data rate as a fixed rate vs normal rate
control operation.

In order to more gracefully be able to fall back to lower rates without too
much throughput fluctuations, initialize all untested rates below tested ones
to the maximum probabilty of higher rates.
Usually this leads to untested lower rates getting initialized with a
probability value of 100%, making them better candidates for fallback without
having to rely on random probing
