bnxt_en: add unlocked version of bnxt_refclk_read

rtnetlink: Convert rtnl_newlink() to per-netns RTNL.
Patch 1 - 3 removes __rtnl_link_unregister and protect link_ops by
its dedicated mutex to move synchronize_srcu() out of RTNL scope.
Patch 4 introduces struct rtnl_nets and helper functions to acquire
multiple per-netns RTNL in rtnl_newlink().
Patch 5 - 8 are to prefetch the peer device's netns in rtnl_newlink().
Patch 9 converts rtnl_newlink() to per-netns RTNL.
Patch 10 pushes RTNL down to rtnl_dellink() and rtnl_setlink(), but
the conversion will not be completed unless we support cases with
peer/upper/lower devices.
I confirmed v3 survived ./rtnetlink.sh; rmmod netdevsim.ko; without
lockdep splat.
rtnetlink: Register rtnl_dellink() and rtnl_setlink() with RTNL_FLAG_DOIT_PERNET_WIP.
Currently, rtnl_setlink() and rtnl_dellink() cannot be fully converted
to per-netns RTNL due to a lack of handling peer/lower/upper devices in
different netns.
For example, when we change a device in rtnl_setlink() and need to
propagate that to its upper devices, we want to avoid acquiring all netns
locks, for which we do not know the upper limit.
The same situation happens when we remove a device.
rtnl_dellink() could be transformed to remove a single device in the
requested netns and delegate other devices to per-netns work, and
rtnl_setlink() might be ?
Until we come up with a better idea, let's use a new flag
RTNL_FLAG_DOIT_PERNET_WIP for rtnl_dellink() and rtnl_setlink().
This will unblock converting RTNL users where such devices are not related.
rtnetlink: Introduce struct rtnl_nets and helpers.
rtnl_newlink() needs to hold 3 per-netns RTNL: 2 for a new device
and 1 for its peer.
We will add rtnl_nets_lock() later, which performs the nested locking
based on struct rtnl_nets, which has an array of struct net pointers.
rtnl_nets_add() adds a net pointer to the array and sorts it so that
rtnl_nets_lock() can simply acquire per-netns RTNL from array[0] to [2].
Before calling rtnl_nets_add(), get_net() must be called for the net,
and rtnl_nets_destroy() will call put_net() for each.
Let's apply the helpers to rtnl_newlink().
When CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL is disabled, we do not call
rtnl_net_lock() thus do not care about the array order, so
rtnl_net_cmp_locks() returns -1 so that the loop in rtnl_nets_add()
can be optimised to NOP.
rtnl_link_unregister() holds RTNL and calls __rtnl_link_unregister(),
where we call synchronize_srcu() to wait inflight RTM_NEWLINK requests
for per-netns RTNL.
We put synchronize_srcu() in __rtnl_link_unregister() due to ifb.ko
and dummy.ko.
However, rtnl_newlink() will acquire SRCU before RTNL later in this
series. Then, lockdep will detect the deadlock:

ipv6: Fix soft lockups in fib6_select_path under high next hop churn
Soft lockups have been observed on a cluster of Linux-based edge routers
located in a highly dynamic environment. Using the `bird` service, these
routers continuously update BGP-advertised routes due to frequently
changing nexthop destinations, while also managing significant IPv6
traffic. The lockups occur during the traversal of the multipath
circular linked-list in the `fib6_select_path` function, particularly
while iterating through the siblings in the list. The issue typically
arises when the nodes of the linked list are unexpectedly deleted
concurrently on a different core—indicated by their 'next' and
'previous' elements pointing back to the node itself and their reference
count dropping to zero. This results in an infinite loop, leading to a
soft lockup that triggers a system panic via the watchdog timer.
Apply RCU primitives in the problematic code sections to resolve the
issue. Where necessary, update the references to fib6_siblings to
annotate or use the RCU APIs.
Include a test script that reproduces the issue. The script
periodically updates the routing table while generating a heavy load
of outgoing IPv6 traffic through multiple iperf3 clients. It
consistently induces infinite soft lockups within a couple of minutes.
The logic of eq_update_ci() is duplicated in mlx5_eq_update_ci(). The
only additional work done by mlx5_eq_update_ci() is to increment
eq->cons_index. Call eq_update_ci() from mlx5_eq_update_ci() to avoid
the duplication.
The memory barrier in eq_update_ci() after the doorbell write is a
significant hot spot in mlx5_eq_comp_int(). Under heavy TCP load, we see
3% of CPU time spent on the mfence instruction.
98df6d5b877c ("net/mlx5: A write memory barrier is sufficient in EQ ci
update") already relaxed the full memory barrier to just a write barrier
in mlx5_eq_update_ci(), which duplicates eq_update_ci(). So replace mb()
with wmb() in eq_update_ci() too.
On strongly ordered architectures, no barrier is actually needed because
the MMIO writes to the doorbell register are guaranteed to appear to the
device in the order they were made. However, the kernel's ordered MMIO
primitive writel() lacks a convenient big-endian interface.
Therefore, we opt to stick with __raw_writel() + a barrier.

Replace page_frag with page_frag_cache (Part-1)
This is part 1 of "Replace page_frag with page_frag_cache",
which mainly contain refactoring and optimization for the
implementation of page_frag API before the replacing.
As the discussion in [1], it would be better to target net-next
tree to get more testing as all the callers page_frag API are
in networking, and the chance of conflicting with MM tree seems
low as implementation of page_frag API seems quite self-contained.
After [2], there are still two implementations for page frag:
1. mm/page_alloc.c: net stack seems to be using it in the
rx part with 'struct page_frag_cache' and the main API
being page_frag_alloc_align().
2. net/core/sock.c: net stack seems to be using it in the
tx part with 'struct page_frag' and the main API being
skb_page_frag_refill().
This patchset tries to unfiy the page frag implementation
by replacing page_frag with page_frag_cache for sk_page_frag()
first. net_high_order_alloc_disable_key for the implementation
in net/core/sock.c doesn't seems matter that much now as pcp
is also supported for high-order pages:
commit 44042b449872 ("mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to
be stored on the per-cpu lists")
As the related change is mostly related to networking, so
targeting the net-next. And will try to replace the rest
of page_frag in the follow patchset.
After this patchset:
1. Unify the page frag implementation by taking the best out of
two the existing implementations: we are able to save some space
for the 'page_frag_cache' API user, and avoid 'get_page()' for
the old 'page_frag' API user.
2. Future bugfix and performance can be done in one place, hence
improving maintainability of page_frag's implementation.

mlx5/core: Schedule EQ comp tasklet only if necessary
Currently, the mlx5_eq_comp_int() interrupt handler schedules a tasklet
to call mlx5_cq_tasklet_cb() if it processes any completions. For CQs
whose completions don't need to be processed in tasklet context, this
adds unnecessary overhead. In a heavy TCP workload, we see 4% of CPU
time spent on the tasklet_trylock() in tasklet_action_common(), with a
smaller amount spent on the atomic operations in tasklet_schedule(),
tasklet_clear_sched(), and locking the spinlock in mlx5_cq_tasklet_cb().
TCP completions are handled by mlx5e_completion_event(), which schedules
NAPI to poll the queue, so they don't need tasklet processing.
Schedule the tasklet in mlx5_add_cq_to_tasklet() instead to avoid this
overhead. mlx5_add_cq_to_tasklet() is responsible for enqueuing the CQs
to be processed in tasklet context, so it can schedule the tasklet. CQs
that need tasklet processing have their interrupt comp handler set to
mlx5_add_cq_to_tasklet(), so they will schedule the tasklet. CQs that
don't need tasklet processing won't schedule the tasklet. To avoid
scheduling the tasklet multiple times during the same interrupt, only
schedule the tasklet in mlx5_add_cq_to_tasklet() if the tasklet work
queue was empty before the new CQ was pushed to it.
The additional branch in mlx5_add_cq_to_tasklet(), called for each EQE,
may add a small cost for the userspace Infiniband CQs whose completions
are processed in tasklet context. But this seems worth it to avoid the
tasklet overhead for CQs that don't need it.
Note that the mlx4 driver works the same way: it schedules the tasklet
in mlx4_add_cq_to_tasklet() and only if the work queue was empty before.
This patchsets improves the performance of neigh_flush_dev.
Currently, the only way to implement it requires traversing
all neighbours known to the kernel, across all network-namespaces.
This means that some flows are slowed down as a function of neigh-scale,
even if the specific link they're handling has little to no neighbours.
In order to solve this, this patchset adds a netdev->neighbours list,
as well as making the original linked-list doubly-, so that it is
possible to unlink neighbours without traversing the hash-bucket to
obtain the previous neighbour.
The original use-case we encountered was mass-deletion of links (12K
VLANs) while there are 50K ARPs and 50K NDPs in the system; though the
slowdowns would also appear when the links are set down.

r8169: improve rtl_set_d3_pll_down
Make use of new helper r8169_mod_reg8_cond() and move from a switch()
to an if() clause. Benefit is that we don't have to touch this piece of
code each time support for a new chip version is added.

hv_sock: Initializing vsk->trans to NULL to prevent a dangling pointer
When hvs is released, there is a possibility that vsk->trans may not
be initialized to NULL, which could lead to a dangling pointer.
This issue is resolved by initializing vsk->trans to NULL.

net: mctp: Expose transport binding identifier via IFLA attribute
MCTP control protocol implementations are transport binding dependent.
Endpoint discovery is mandatory based on transport binding.
Message timing requirements are specified in each respective transport
binding specification.
However, we currently have no means to get this information from MCTP
links.
Add a IFLA_MCTP_PHYS_BINDING netlink link attribute, which represents
the transport type using the DMTF DSP0239-defined type numbers, returned
as part of RTM_GETLINK data.
We get an IFLA_MCTP_PHYS_BINDING attribute for each MCTP link, for
example:
- 0x00 (unspec) for loopback interface;
- 0x01 (SMBus/I2C) for mctpi2c%d interfaces; and
- 0x05 (serial) for mctpserial%d interfaces.
