As noted in rds_recv_incoming() sequence numbers on data packets
can decreas for the failover case, and the Rx path is equipped
to recover from this, if the RDS_FLAG_RETRANSMITTED is set
on the rds header of an incoming message with a suspect sequence
number.
The RDS_FLAG_RETRANSMITTED is predicated on the RDS_FLAG_RETRANSMITTED
flag in the rds_message, so make sure the flag is set on messages
queued for retransmission.

The stmmac driver use lots of pr_xxx functions to print information.
This is bad since we cannot know which device logs the information.
(moreover if two stmmac device are present)
Furthermore, it seems that it assumes wrongly that all logs will always
be subsequent by using a dev_xxx then some indented pr_xxx like this:
kernel: sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet: no reset control found
kernel: Ring mode enabled
kernel: No HW DMA feature register supported
kernel: Normal descriptors
kernel: TX Checksum insertion supported
So this patch replace all pr_xxx by their netdev_xxx counterpart.
Excepts for some printing where netdev "cause" unpretty output like:
sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): no reset control found
In those case, I keep dev_xxx.
In the same time I remove some "stmmac:" print since
this will be a duplicate with that dev_xxx displays.

When I wrote sch_fq.c, hash_ptr() on 64bit arches was awful,
and I chose hash_32().
Linus Torvalds and George Spelvin fixed this issue, so we can
use hash_ptr() to get more entropy on 64bit arches with Terabytes
of memory, and avoid the cast games.

There is no need calling napi_hash_del()+synchronize_rcu() before
calling netif_napi_del()
netif_napi_del() does this already.
Using napi_hash_del() in a driver is useful only when dealing with
a batch of NAPI structures, so that a single synchronize_rcu() can
be used. mlx4_en_deactivate_cq() is deactivating a single NAPI.

mlxsw: Introduce support for I2C bus
Vadim says:
This patchset adds I2C access support for SwitchX, SwitchX2, SwitchIB,
SwitchIB2 and Spectrum silicones.
It contains:
- Small changes in mlxsw core code, needed for I2C bus support;
- I2C driver, which obtains I2C input/output mailboxes setting and
provides command interface implementation.
- Minimal driver, which works on top of I2C driver and allows running
of mlxsw command interface over I2C bus;
Use case:
On system, which does not have PCI to ASIC (BMC), hwmon functionality
(sensors, pwm, tacho) will be available through I2C.
Usage (manual probing):
echo mlxsw_minimal 0x48 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-2/new_device
Sysfs interface:
/sys/bus/i2c/devices/2-0048/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm1

We are going to add a minimal driver on top of the mlxsw core
infrastructure, which will be mainly used for hardware monitoring in
Baseboard management controller (BMC) installations.
Unlike the switch drivers (e.g., spectrum, switchx2), this driver does not
initialize the ASIC and therefore doesn't need to implement the init() and
fini() methods in its 'mlxsw_driver' struct.

The mlxsw core infrastructure currently assumes that communication with
the ASIC is always possible using Ethernet management datagrams (EMADs),
but this is only possible when the PCI bus is used.
The bus capability flag is added to indicate EMAD support and make core
initialize EMAD communication only when it's set. Otherwise, register
access is done using command interface.

knav_queue_open always returns an ERR_PTR value, never NULL. This can be
confirmed by unfolding the function calls and conforms to the function's
documentation. Thus, replace IS_ERR_OR_NULL by IS_ERR in error checks.
The change is made using the following semantic patch:

Now sctp transport rhashtable uses hash(lport, dport, daddr) as the key
to hash a node to one chain. If in one host thousands of assocs connect
to one server with the same lport and different laddrs (although it's
not a normal case), all the transports would be hashed into the same
chain.
It may cause to keep returning -EBUSY when inserting a new node, as the
chain is too long and sctp inserts a transport node in a loop, which
could even lead to system hangs there.
The new rhlist interface works for this case that there are many nodes
with the same key in one chain. It puts them into a list then makes this
list be as a node of the chain.
This patch is to replace rhashtable_ interface with rhltable_ interface.
Since a chain would not be too long and it would not return -EBUSY with
this fix when inserting a node, the reinsert loop is also removed here.

We can avoid the spinlock which has no contention, and use cmpxchg()

The debugfs support in the driver uses a common routine to write the
debugfs values. In this routine, if the input file position is non-zero
then the write routine will not return an error and an output parameter
will not have been set. Because an error isn't returned an uninitialized
value will be written into a register.
Fix the common write routine to return an error if the input file position
is non-zero, which will propagate back to the caller.

net: busy-poll: allow preemption and other optimizations
It is time to have preemption points in sk_busy_loop() and improve

Also napi_complete() and friends can tell drivers when it is safe to
not re-enable device interrupts, saving some overhead under
high busy polling.
mlx4 and bnx2x are changed accordingly, to show how this busy polling
status can be exploited by drivers.
Next steps will implement Zach Brown suggestion, where NAPI polling
would be enabled all the time for some chosen queues.

NAPI drivers use napi_complete_done() or napi_complete() when
they drained RX ring and right before re-enabling device interrupts.
In busy polling, we can avoid interrupts being delivered since
we are polling RX ring in a controlled loop.
Drivers can chose to use napi_complete_done() return value
to reduce interrupts overhead while busy polling is active.
This is optional, legacy drivers should work fine even
if not updated.

After commit 4cd13c21b207 ("softirq: Let ksoftirqd do its job"),
sk_busy_loop() needs a bit of care :
softirqs might be delayed since we do not allow preemption yet.
This patch adds preemptiom points in sk_busy_loop(),
and makes sure no unnecessary cache line dirtying
or atomic operations are done while looping.
A new flag is added into napi->state : NAPI_STATE_IN_BUSY_POLL
This prevents napi_complete_done() from clearing NAPIF_STATE_SCHED,
so that sk_busy_loop() does not have to grab it again.
Similarly, netpoll_poll_lock() is done one time.
This gives about 10 to 20 % improvement in various busy polling
tests, especially when many threads are busy polling in
configurations with large number of NIC queues.
This should allow experimenting with bigger delays without
hurting overall latencies.
Tested:
On a 40Gb mlx4 NIC, 32 RX/TX queues.
echo 70 >/proc/sys/net/core/busy_read

and enables multi queue support for the tx path by default. The hardware
supports up to 4 tx queues.
Benefits are better utilization of multi core cpus and the usage of the
msi-x support by default which splits the handling of rx / tx and misc
other interrupts.
The rx path is a little bit harder because apparently (based on the limited
information from the downstream driver) the hardware supports up to 8 rss
queues but only has one hardware descriptor ring on the rx side. So the rx
path will be part of another patchset.
Tested on my AR8161 ethernet adapter with different tests:
- there are no regressions observed during my daily usage
- iperf tcp and udp tests shows no performance regressions
- netperf TCP_RR and UDP_RR shows a slight performance increase of about
1-2% with this patchset applied
This work is based on the downstream driver at github.com/qca/alx
Changes in V2:
- drop unneeded casts in alx_alloc_rx_ring (Patch 1)
- add additional information about testing and benefit to the
changelog

Remove the module parameter to enable msi-x support and enable msi-x
interrupts unconditionally by default. This is a preparatory step to enable
multi queue support by default, because this is only working with msi-x
interrupts.

This patch prepares the tx path to send data on multiple tx queues. It
introduces per queue register adresses and uses them in the alx_tx_queue
structs.
There are new helper functions for the queue mapping in the tx path.

Allocate, initialise and free alx_tx_queue structs based on the number of
alx_napi structures. Also increase the size of the descriptor memory based
on the number of tx queues in use.

Extend the interrupt bringup code and the interrupt handler for msi-x
interrupts in order to handle multiple queues.
We must change the poll function because with multiple queues it is possible
that an alx_napi structure has only a tx or only a rx queue pointer.

Remove the tx and rx queue structures from the alx_priv structure and switch
everything over to the queue pointers in the alx_napi structure.
