The same fix for changing mtu in the patch 'rtnetlink: bring
NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event process back in rtnetlink_event' is
needed for changing tx_queue_len.

Note that the redundant notifications issue for tx_queue_len
will be fixed in the later patch 'rtnetlink: do not send

Commit 085e1a65 ("rtnetlink: Do not generate notifications for MTU
events") tried to fix the redundant notifications issue when ip link
set mtu by removing NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event process in rtnetlink_event.

But it also resulted in no notification generated when dev's mtu is
changed via other methods, like:
  'ifconfig eth1 mtu 1400' or 'echo 1400 > /sys/class/net/eth1/mtu'
It would cause users not to be notified by this change.

This patch is to fix it by bringing NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event back into
rtnetlink_event, and the redundant notifications issue will be fixed
in the later patch 'rtnetlink: check DO_SETLINK_NOTIFY correctly in
do_setlink'.

In bnxt_find_nvram_item(), it is copying firmware response data after
releasing the mutex.  This can cause the firmware response data
to be corrupted if the next firmware response overwrites the response
buffer.  The rare problem shows up when running ethtool -i repeatedly.

Fix it by calling the new variant _hwrm_send_message_silent() that requires
the caller to take the mutex and to release it after the response data has
been copied.

As a further improvement to the PF/VF link change logic, use a private
mutex instead of the rtnl lock to protect link change logic.  With the
new mutex, we don't have to take the rtnl lock in the workqueue when
we have to handle link related functions.  If the VF and PF drivers
are running on the same host and both take the rtnl lock and one is
waiting for the other, it will cause timeout.  This patch fixes these
timeouts.

Link status query firmware messages originating from the VFs are forwarded
to the PF.  The driver handles these interactions in a workqueue for the
VF and PF.  The VF driver waits for the response from the PF in the
workqueue.  If the PF and VF driver are running on the same host and the
work for both PF and VF are queued on the same workqueue, the VF driver
may not get the response if the PF work item is queued behind it on the
same workqueue.  This will lead to the VF link query message timing out.

To prevent this, we create a private workqueue for PFs instead of using
the common workqueue.  The VF query and PF response will never be on
the same workqueue.

The 88E6060 Ethernet switch always transmits the multicast bit of the

If the "DiffAddr" bit is 0, then all ports transmit the same source
address. If it is set to 1, then bit 2:0 are used for the port number.

The mv88e6060 driver is currently wrongly shifting the MAC address byte

Currently we drop any new VLAN ids if there are more than the current

if no channel has been selected yet, resulting in a segfault.

Secondly this does not necessarily reflect the capabilities of any other
channels. Instead only drop a new VLAN id if we are already tracking the
maximum allowed by the NCSI specification. Per-channel limits are
already handled by ncsi_add_filter(), but add a message to set_one_vid()

rtl_init_one() currently enables PCI wakeups if the ethernet device
is found to be WOL-capable. There is no need to do this when
rtl8169_set_wol() will correctly enable or disable the same wakeup flag
when WOL is activated/deactivated.

This works around an ACPI DSDT bug which prevents the Acer laptop models
Aspire ES1-533, Aspire ES1-732, PackardBell ENTE69AP and Gateway NE533
from entering S3 suspend - even when no ethernet cable is connected.

On these platforms, the DSDT says that GPE08 is a wakeup source for
ethernet, but this GPE fires as soon as the system goes into suspend,
waking the system up immediately. Having the wakeup normally disabled
avoids this issue in the default case.

With this change, WOL will continue to be unusable on these platforms
(it will instantly wake up if WOL is later enabled by the user) but we
do not expect this to be a commonly used feature on these consumer
laptops. We have separately determined that WOL works fine without any
ACPI GPEs enabled during sleep, so a DSDT fix or override would be
possible to make WOL work.

It turns out that multiple places can call netlink_dump(), which means
it's still possible to dereference partially initialized values in
dump() that were the result of a faulty returned start().

This fixes the issue by calling start() _before_ setting cb_running to
true, so that there's no chance at all of hitting the dump() function
through any indirect paths.

It also moves the call to start() to be when the mutex is held. This has
the nice side effect of serializing invocations to start(), which is
likely desirable anyway. It also prevents any possible other races that
might come out of this logic.

In testing this with several different pieces of tricky code to trigger
these issues, this commit fixes all avenues that I'm aware of.
