netdev_upper_dev_unlink() which notifies NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER, returns void, as well as del_nbp(). So there's no advantage to catch an eventual error from the port_bridge_leave routine at the DSA level. Make this routine void for the DSA layer and its existing drivers.

In the previous patch, the spinlock was not initialized. While it didn't cause any trouble yet it could be a problem to use it uninitialized. The most annoying part was the critical section protected by the spinlock in mvneta_stop(). Some of the functions could sleep as pointed when activated CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP. Actually, in mvneta_stop() we only need to protect the is_stopped flagged, indeed the code of the notifier for CPU online is protected by the same spinlock, so when we get the lock, the notifer work is done.

The fixed phys delete function simply removed the fixed phy from the internal linked list and freed the memory. It however did not unregister the associated phy device. This meant it was still possible to find the phy device on the mdio bus. Make fixed_phy_del() an internal function and add a fixed_phy_unregister() to unregisters the phy device and then uses fixed_phy_del() to free resources.

The Cavium Thunder SoCs have multiple MIDO buses that are part of a single PCI device.

A follow-on patch uses PCI probing to find the Thunder MDIO hardware. In preparation for this, split out the common code into a new file mdio-cavium.c, which will be used by both the existing OCTEON driver, and the new Thunder PCI based driver. As part of the refactoring simplify the struct cavium_mdiobus by removing fields that are only ever used in the probe function and can just as well be local variables. Use readq/writeq in preference to readq_relaxed/writeq_relaxed as the relaxed form was an optimization for an early chip revision, and the MDIO drivers are not performance bottlenecks that need optimization in the first place.

Buffer manager (BM) is a dedicated hardware unit that can be used by all ethernet ports of Armada XP and 38x SoC's. It allows to offload CPU on RX path by sparing DRAM access on refilling buffer pool, hardware-based filling of descriptor ring data and better memory utilization due to HW arbitration for using 'short' pools for small packets. Tests performed with A388 SoC working as a network bridge between two packet generators showed increase of maximum processed 64B packets by ~20k (~555k packets with BM enabled vs ~535 packets without BM). Also when pushing 1500B-packets with a line rate achieved, CPU load decreased from around 25% without BM to 20% with BM. BM comprise up to 4 buffer pointers' (BP) rings kept in DRAM, which are called external BP pools - BPPE. Allocating and releasing buffer pointers (BP) to/from BPPE is performed indirectly by write/read access to a dedicated internal SRAM, where internal BP pools (BPPI) are placed. BM hardware controls status of BPPE automatically, as well as assigning proper buffers to RX descriptors. For more details please refer to Functional Specification of Armada XP or 38x SoC. In order to enable support for a separate hardware block, common for all ports, a new driver has to be implemented ('mvneta_bm'). It provides initialization sequence of address space, clocks, registers, SRAM, empty pools' structures and also obtaining optional configuration from DT (please refer to device tree binding documentation). mvneta_bm exposes also a necessary API to mvneta driver, as well as a dedicated structure with BM information (bm_priv), whose presence is used as a flag notifying of BM usage by port. It has to be ensured that mvneta_bm probe is executed prior to the ones in ports' driver. In case BM is not used or its probe fails, mvneta falls back to use software buffer management. A sequence executed in mvneta_probe function is modified in order to have an access to needed resources before possible port's BM initialization is done. According to port-pools mapping provided by DT appropriate registers are configured and the buffer pools are filled. RX path is modified accordingly. Becaues the hardware allows a wide variety of configuration options, following assumptions are made: * using BM mechanisms can be selectively disabled/enabled basing on DT configuration among the ports * 'long' pool's single buffer size is tied to port's MTU * using 'long' pool by port is obligatory and it cannot be shared * using 'short' pool for smaller packets is optional * one 'short' pool can be shared among all ports This commit enables hardware buffer management operation cooperating with existing mvneta driver. New device tree binding documentation is added and the one of mvneta is updated accordingly.

This patch updates the GRO handlers for GRE, VXLAN, GENEVE, and FOU so that we do not clear the flush bit until after we have called the next level GRO handler. Previously this was being cleared before parsing through the list of frames, however this resulted in several paths where either the bit needed to be reset but wasn't as in the case of FOU, or cases where it was being set as in GENEVE. By just deferring the clearing of the bit until after the next level protocol has been parsed we can avoid any unnecessary bit twiddling and avoid bugs.

Driver interaction with the managemnt firmware is done via mailbox commands which the management firmware periodically sample, as well as placing of additional data in set places in the shared memory. Each PF has a single designated mailbox address, and all flows that require messaging to the management should use it. This patch does 2 things: 1. It re-defines the critical section surrounding the mailbox sending - that section should include the setting of the shared memory as well as the sending of the command [otherwise a race might send a command with the data of a different command]. 2. It moves the locking scheme from using mutices into using spinlocks. This lays the groundwork for sending MFW commands from non-sleepable contexts.
