    netpoll: use GFP_ATOMIC in slave_enable_netpoll() and __netpoll_setup()

    slave_enable_netpoll() and __netpoll_setup() may be called
    with read_lock() held, so should use GFP_ATOMIC to allocate
    memory. Eric suggested to pass gfp flags to __netpoll_setup().

The mvneta driver currently uses of_iomap(), which has two drawbacks:
it doesn't request the resource, and it isn't devm-style so some error
handling is needed.

This commit switches to use devm_ioremap_resource() instead, which
automatically requests the resource (so the I/O registers region shows
up properly in /proc/iomem), and also is devm-style, which allows to
get rid of some error handling to unmap the I/O registers region.

Quite often it can be useful to test with dummy or similar
devices as a blackhole sink for skbs. Such devices are only
equipped with a single txq, but marked as NETIF_F_LLTX as
they do not require locking their internal queues on xmit
(or implement locking themselves). Therefore, rather use
HARD_TX_{UN,}LOCK API, so that NETIF_F_LLTX will be respected.

The pm_rumtime work queue is causing the device to be suspended during
initialisation, thus the initialisation may not be able to access registers
properly. As the code is called from a work queue, it is possible that this
is not seen from certain configurations/builds due to the asynchronos
nature of the code.

Another issue has also been found where the network device registration
calls back into the driver thus causing further pm_runtime calls that
also caused issues with the MDIO bus code. This has now been checked
and is the only place the MDIO can be called without the device open.

Use pm_runtime_get_sync() and pm_runtime_put() to ensure that the
pm system does not suspend it during the probe() call and remove the
now unnecessary pm_runtime_resume() call. Also add a call in the error
path to call pm_runtime_disable().

This fixes the external abort that can cause /sbin/init or other such
init processed to die.

tipc: fix handling of NETDEV_CHANGEADDR event

Aside from manual reconfiguration of the netdevice hwaddr, this can also
be changed automatically for an interface bond in active-backup mode

followed by a reinitialization of the node discovery mechanism.

The node discovery domain is assigned when a bearer is enabled.
In the previous commit we reflect this attribute directly in the

There's no need to replicate this attribute anywhere else, so we
remove it from the tipc_link_req structure.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates

This series contains updates to e1000e, igb, i40e and i40evf

Anjali provides i40e fix to remove the ATR filter on RST as well as FIN
packets.  Cleans up add_del_fdir() because it was used and implemented
only for the add, so change the name and drop a parameter.  Adds the
ability to drop a flow if we wanted to and adds a flow director
message level to be used for flow director specific messages.

Mitch fixes an issue on i40evf where the Tx watchdog handler was causing
an oops when sending an admin queue message to request a reset because
the admin queue functions use spinlocks.

Greg provides a change to i40e to make the alloc and free queue vector
calls orthogonal.

Shannon fixes i40e to verify the eeprom checksum and firmware CRC status
bits, and shutdown the driver if they fail.  This change stops the
processing of traffic, but does not kill the PF netdev so that the
NVMUpdate process still has a chance at fixing the image.  Also provides
a fix to make sure the VSI has a netdev before trying to use it in
the debugfs netdev_ops commands.

Jakub Kicinski provides patches for e1000e and igb to fix a number issues
found in the PTP code.
