====================
here's a pull request for net-next.
It includes a patch by Oliver Hartkopp et al. that adds documentation
for the broadcast manager to Documentation/networking/can.txt. Three
patches by me that clean up the netlink handling code in the CAN core.
And another patch that removes a not needed function from the ti_hecc
driver.

Implements resource quota grant decision when resources are requested,
for the following resources: QPs, CQs, SRQs, MPTs, MTTs, vlans, MACs,
and Counters.
When granting a resource, the quota system increases the allocated-count
for that slave.
When the slave later frees the resource, its allocated-count is reduced.
A spinlock is used to protect the integrity of each resource's free-pool counter.
(One slave may be in the process of being granted a resource while another
slave has crashed, initiating cleanup of that slave's resource quotas).

In current kernels, the mlx4 driver running on a VM does not
differentiate between max resource numbers for the HCA and
max quotas -- it simply takes the quota values passed to it
as max-resource values.
However, the driver actually requires the VFs to be aware of
the actual number of resources that the HCA was initialized with,
for QPs, CQs, SRQs and MPTs.
For QPs, CQs and SRQs, the reason is that in completion handling
the driver must know which of the 24 bits are the actual resource
number, and which are "padding" bits.
For MPTs, also, the driver assumes knowledge of the number of MPTs
in the system.
The previous commit fixes the quota logic on the VM for the quota values
passed to it by QUERY_FUNC_CAPS.
For QPs, CQs, SRQs, and MPTs, it takes the max resource numbers
from QUERY_HCA (and not QUERY_FUNC_CAPS). The quotas passed
in QUERY_FUNC_CAPS are used to report max resource number values
in the response to ib_query_device.
However, the Hypervisor driver must consider that VMs
may be running previous kernels, and compatibility must be preserved.
To resolve the incompatibility with previous kernels running on VMs,
we deprecated the quota fields in mlx4_QUERY_FUNC_CAP. In the
deprecated fields, we pass the max-resource values from INIT_HCA
The quota fields are moved to a new location, and the current kernel
driver takes the proper values from that location. There is
also a new flag in dword 0, bit 28 of the mlx4_QUERY_FUNC_CAP mailbox;
if this flag is set, the (VM) driver takes the quota values from the
new location.
VMs running previous kernels will work properly, except that the max resource
numbers reported in ib_query_device for these resources will be
too high. The Hypervisor driver will, however, enforce the quotas
for these VMs.

This is step #1 for implementing SRIOV resource quotas for VFs.
Quotas are implemented per resource type for VFs and the PF, to prevent
any entity from simply grabbing all the resources for itself and leaving
the other entities unable to obtain such resources.
Resources which are allocated using quotas: QPs, CQs, SRQs, MPTs, MTTs, MAC,
VLAN, and Counters.
The quota system works as follows:
Each entity (VF or PF) is given a max number of a given resource (its quota),
and a guaranteed minimum number for each resource (starvation prevention).
For QPs, CQs, SRQs, MPTs and MTTs:
50% of the available quantity for the resource is divided equally among
the PF and all the active VFs (i.e., the number of VFs in the mlx4_core module
parameter "num_vfs"). This 50% represents the "guaranteed minimum" pool.
The other 50% is the "free pool", allocated on a first-come-first-serve basis.
For each VF/PF, resources are first allocated from its "guaranteed-minimum"
pool. When that pool is exhausted, the driver attempts to allocate from
the resource "free-pool".
The quota (i.e., max) for the VFs and the PF is:
The free-pool amount (50% of the real max) + the guaranteed minimum
For MACs:
Guarantee 2 MACs per VF/PF per port. As a result, since we have only
128 MACs per port, reduce the allowable number of VFs from 64 to 63.
Any remaining MACs are put into a free pool.
For VLANs:
For the PF, the per-port quota is 128 and guarantee is 64
(to allow the PF to register at least a VLAN per VF in VST mode).
For the VFs, the per-port quota is 64 and the guarantee is 0.
We assume that VGT VFs are trusted not to abuse the VLAN resource.
For Counters:
For all functions (PF and VFs), the quota is 128 and the guarantee is 0.
In this patch, we define the needed structures, which are added to the
resource-tracker struct. In addition, we do initialization
for the resource quota, and adjust the query_device response to use quotas
rather than resource maxima.
As part of the implementation, we introduce a new field in
mlx4_dev: quotas. This field holds the resource quotas used
to report maxima to the upper layers (ib_core, via query_device).
The HCA maxima of these values are passed to the VFs (via
QUERY_HCA) so that they may continue to use these in handling
QPs, CQs, SRQs and MPTs.

In procedure mlx4_init_mr_table(), slaves should do no processing,
but should return success. This initialization is hypervisor-only.
However, the check for num_mpts being a power-of-2 was performed
before the check to return immediately if the driver is for a slave.
This resulted in spurious failures.
The order of performing the checks is reversed, so that if the
driver is for a slave, no processing is done and success is returned.

In upstream kernels under SRIOV, the vlan register/unregister calls
were NOPs (doing nothing and returning OK). We detect these old
calls from guests (via the comm channel), since previously the
port number in mlx4_register_vlan was passed (improperly) in the
out_param. This has been corrected so that the port number is now
passed in bits 8..15 of the in_modifier field.
For old calls, these bits will be zero, so if the passed port
number is zero, we can still look at the out_param field to see
if it contains a valid port number. If yes, the VM is running
an old driver.
Since for old drivers, the register/unregister_vlan wrappers were
NOPs, we continue this policy -- the reason being that upstream
had an additional bug in eth driver running on guests (where
procedure mlx4_en_vlan_rx_kill_vid() had the following code:
if (!mlx4_find_cached_vlan(mdev->dev, priv->port, vid, &idx))
mlx4_unregister_vlan(mdev->dev, priv->port, idx);
else
en_err(priv, "could not find vid %d in cache\n", vid);
On a VM, mlx4_find_cached_vlan() will always fail, since the
vlan cache is located on the Hypervisor; on guests it is empty.
Therefore, if we allow upstream guests to register vlans, we will
have vlan leakage since the unregister will never be performed.
Leaving vlan reg/unreg for old guest drivers as a NOP is not a
feature regression, since in upstream the register/unregister
vlan wrapper is a NOP.

The functions mlx4_register_vlan, mlx4_unregister_vlan, mlx4_register_mac,
mlx4_unregister_mac all made illegal use of the out_param in multifunc mode
to pass the port number. The firmware spec specifies that the port number
should be passed in bits 8..15 of the input-modifier field for ALLOC_RES and
FREE_RES (sections 20.15.1 and 20.15.2).
For MAC register/unregister, this patch contains workarounds so that guests
running previous kernels continue to work on a new Hypervisor, and guests
running the new kernel will continue to work on old hypervisors.
Vlan registeration capability is still not operational in multifunction mode,
since the vlan wrapper functions are not implemented in this patch.

There are MBIM devices out there reporting
dwNtbInMaxSize=2048 dwNtbOutMaxSize=2048
and since the spec require a datagram max size of at least
2048, this means that a full sized datagram will never fit.
Still, sending larger NTBs than the device supports is not
going to help. We do not have any other options than either
a) refusing to bindi, or
b) respect the insanely low value.
Alternative b will at least make these devices work, so go
for it.

We can avoid the costly division for the common case where
we pad the frame to tx_max size as long as we ensure that
tx_max is either the device specified dwNtbOutMaxSize or not
a multiplum of wMaxPacketSize.
Using the preconverted 'maxpacket' field avoids converting
wMaxPacketSize to CPU endianness for every transmitted frame
And since we only will hit the one byte padding rule for short
frames, we can drop testing the skb for tailroom.
The change means that tx_max now represents the real maximum
skb size, enabling us to allocate the correct size instead of
always making room for one extra byte.

A number of devices in the wild have turned out to require ZLPs.
Even if this is a spec violation, our priority is to make any
device work as good as possible. Devices needing ZLPs will fail
to receive any full sized frame we send. On the other hand,
devices which do not need the ZLP will still work if we send
them.
This gives us no other option than sending ZLPs by default.
This will prevent devices conforming to the spec from making the
optimizations which are possible without ZLPs. Adding known
such devices to a whitelist, to avoid the possible negative
impact of the new spec violating default.

MBIM is a point-to-point protocol transporting raw IP packets
with no L2 headers. Only IPv4 and IPv6 are supported. ARP in
particular is not, which is quite logical given the lack of
L2 headers.
The driver still emulates an ethernet interface, dropping all
unsupported protocols, and avoiding neigbour resolving by
setting the IFF_NOARP flag.
The MBIM specification does not explicitly forbid IPv6 Neighbor
Discovery, and it seems the other OS support will respond to
Neighbor Solicitations on MBIM links. There are therefore
buggy devices out there, which despite the pointlessness, still
require Neighbor Discovery for IPv6 over MBIM.
This is incompatible with the IFF_NOARP flag which disables
both ARP and ND. We cannot support ARP in any case, so we
have to keep that flag. This patch implements a workaround
for the buggy devices, letting the driver respond directly
to Neighbor Solicitations from the device.
