The current method for notifying clients of l2 parameters is broken
because we fail to copy the new parameters to the client instance
struct, we need to do the notification before the client 'open' function
pointer gets called, and lastly we should set the l2 parameters when
first adding a client instance.

This patch first introduces the i40evf_client_get_params function to
prevent code duplication in the i40evf_client_add_instance and the
i40evf_notify_client_l2_params functions.  We then fix the notify l2
params function to actually copy the parameters to client instance
struct and do the same in the *_add_instance' function.  Lastly this
patch reorganizes the priority in which client tasks fire so that if the
flag for notifying l2 params is set, it will trigger before the open
because the client needs these new parameters as part of a client open
task.

Since commit 96a39aed ("i40e: Acquire NVM lock before
reads on all devices") we've used the NVM lock
to synchronize NVM reads even on devices which don't strictly
need the lock.

Doing so can cause a regression on older firmware prior to 1.5,
especially when downgrading the firmware.

Fix this by only grabbing the lock if we're running on an X722
device (which requires the lock as it uses the AdminQ to read
the NVM), or if we're currently running 1.5 or newer firmware.

On some systems, when we unsplit a port we need to re-create two ports
instead. On other systems, only one needs to be re-created.

Do not try to create a port if during driver initialization it was
assigned a negative module number, which is invalid.

This avoids the following error during unsplit:
[  941.012478] mlxsw_spectrum 0000:01:00.0: Port 43: Failed to map module

The error is harmless and caused by the fact that a local port is

When cfg80211 is built as a module, everything is fine, and we
can keep the code as is; in fact, we have to, because there can
only be a single module_init().

When cfg80211 is built-in, however, it needs to initialize
before drivers (device_initcall/module_init), and thus used to
be at subsys_initcall(). I'd moved it to fs_initcall() earlier,
where it can remain. However, this is still too early because at
that point the key infrastructure hasn't been initialized yet,
so X.509 certificates can't be parsed yet.

To work around this problem, load the regdb keys only later in
a late_initcall(), at which point the necessary infrastructure
has been initialized.

In rare cases, ena driver would reset and re-start the device,
for example, in case of misbehaving application that causes
transmit timeout

The first step in the reset procedure is to stop the Tx traffic by
calling ena_carrier_off().

After the driver have just started the device reset procedure, device
happens to send an asynchronous notification (via AENQ) to the driver
than there was a link change (to link-up state).
This link change is mapped to a call to netif_carrier_on() which
re-activates the Tx queues, violating the assumption of no tx traffic
until device reset is completed, as the reset task might still be in
the process of queues initialization, leading to an access to
uninitialized memory.

Commit b65a9cfc ("Untangling ima mess, part 2: deal with counters")
moved the call of ima_file_check() from may_open() to do_filp_open() at a
point where the file descriptor is already opened.

This breaks the assumption made by IMA that file descriptors being closed
belong to files whose access was granted by ima_file_check(). The
consequence is that security.ima and security.evm are updated with good
values, regardless of the current appraisal status.

For example, if a file does not have security.ima, IMA will create it after
opening the file for writing, even if access is denied. Access to the file
will be allowed afterwards.

Avoid this issue by checking the appraisal status before updating
security.ima.

Name of functions rtl_w0w1_eri and rtl_w0w1_phy is somewhat misleading

However this is not the case.
So fix the order of arguments in several statements.

In addition fix EEE advertisement. The current code resets the bits
for 100BaseT and 1000BaseT EEE advertisement what is not what we want.

Fix the TLP scheduling logic so that when scheduling a TLP probe, we
ensure that the estimated time at which an RTO would fire accounts for
the fact that ACKs indicating forward progress should push back RTO
times.

After the following fix:

df92c839 ("tcp: fix xmit timer to only be reset if data ACKed/SACKed")

we had an unintentional behavior change in the following kind of
scenario: suppose the RTT variance has been very low recently. Then
suppose we send out a flight of N packets and our RTT is 100ms:

t=0: send a flight of N packets
t=100ms: receive an ACK for N-1 packets

The response before df92c839 that was:
  -> schedule a TLP for now + RTO_interval

The response after df92c839 is:
  -> schedule a TLP for t=0 + RTO_interval

Since RTO_interval = srtt + RTT_variance, this means that we have
scheduled a TLP timer at a point in the future that only accounts for
RTT_variance. If the RTT_variance term is small, this means that the
timer fires soon.

Before df92c839 this would not happen, because in that code, when
we receive an ACK for a prefix of flight, we did:

    1) Near the top of tcp_ack(), switch from TLP timer to RTO
       at write_queue_head->paket_tx_time + RTO_interval:
            if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_LOSS_PROBE)
                   tcp_rearm_rto(sk);

    2) In tcp_clean_rtx_queue(), update the RTO to now + RTO_interval:
            if (flag & FLAG_ACKED) {
                   tcp_rearm_rto(sk);

    3) In tcp_ack() after tcp_fastretrans_alert() switch from RTO
       to TLP at now + RTO_interval:
            if (icsk->icsk_pending == ICSK_TIME_RETRANS)
                   tcp_schedule_loss_probe(sk);

In df92c839 we removed that 3-phase dance, and instead directly
set the TLP timer once: we set the TLP timer in cases like this to
write_queue_head->packet_tx_time + RTO_interval. So if the RTT
variance is small, then this means that this is setting the TLP timer
to fire quite soon. This means if the ACK for the tail of the flight
takes longer than an RTT to arrive (often due to delayed ACKs), then
the TLP timer fires too quickly.
