Currently, if device is in link down status and user uses
'ethtool -s' command to set speed but not specify duplex
mode, the duplex mode passed from ethtool to driver is
unknown value(255), and the fibre port will identify this
value as half duplex mode and print "only copper port
supports half duplex!". This message is confusing.
So for fibre port, only the setting duplex is half, prints
error and returns.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

commit 93c0970493 ("net: phy: consider latched link-down status in
polling mode") removed double-read of latched link-state register for
polling mode from genphy_update_link(). This added extra ~1s delay into
sequence link down->up.
Following scenario:
- After boot link goes up
- phy_start() is called triggering an aneg restart, hence link goes
down and link-down info is latched.
- After aneg has finished link goes up. In phy_state_machine is checked
link state but it is latched "link is down". The state machine is
scheduled after one second and there is detected "link is up". This
extra delay can be avoided when we keep link-state register double read
in case when link was down previously.
With this solution we don't miss a link-down event in polling mode and
link-up is faster.
Details about this quirky behavior on Realtek phy:
Without patch:
T0: aneg is started, link goes down, link-down status is latched
T0+3s: state machine runs, up-to-date link-down is read
T0+4s: state machine runs, aneg is finished (BMSR_ANEGCOMPLETE==1),
here i read link-down (BMSR_LSTATUS==0),
T0+5s: state machine runs, aneg is finished (BMSR_ANEGCOMPLETE==1),
up-to-date link-up is read (BMSR_LSTATUS==1),
phydev->link goes up, state change PHY_NOLINK to PHY_RUNNING
With patch:
T0: aneg is started, link goes down, link-down status is latched
T0+3s: state machine runs, up-to-date link-down is read
T0+4s: state machine runs, aneg is finished (BMSR_ANEGCOMPLETE==1),

It is currenty possible to switch the TCP congestion control algorithm
in non-initial network namespaces:
unshare -U --map-root --net --fork --pid --mount-proc
echo "reno" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_congestion_control
works just fine. But currently non-initial network namespaces have no
way of kowing which congestion algorithms are available or allowed other
than through trial and error by writing the names of the algorithms into
the aforementioned file.
Since we already allow changing the congestion algorithm in non-initial
network namespaces by exposing the tcp_congestion_control file there is
no reason to not also expose the
tcp_{allowed,available}_congestion_control files to non-initial network
namespaces. After this change a container with a separate network

On driver load:
- Initialize resource dump data structure and memory access tools (mkey
& pd).
- Read the resource dump's menu which contains the FW segment
identifier. Each record is identified by the segment name (ASCII).
During the driver's course of life, users (like reporters) may request
dumps per segment. The user should create a command providing the
segment identifier (SW enumeration) and command keys. In return, the
user receives a command context. In order to receive the dump, the user
should supply the command context and a memory (aligned to a PAGE) on
which the dump content will be written. Since the dump may be larger
than the given memory, the user may resubmit the command until received
an indication of end-of-dump. It is the user's responsibility to destroy
the command.

has the following FEC dependency as noted in the comments:
/*
* The i.MX28 dual fec interfaces are not equal.
* Here are the differences:
*
* - fec0 supports MII & RMII modes while fec1 only supports RMII
* - fec0 acts as the 1588 time master while fec1 is slave
* - external phys can only be configured by fec0
*
* That is to say fec1 can not work independently. It only works
* when fec0 is working. The reason behind this design is that the
* second interface is added primarily for Switch mode.
*
* Because of the last point above, both phys are attached on fec0
* mdio interface in board design, and need to be configured by
* fec0 mii_bus.

IB event handlers schedule the port event worker for further
processing of port state changes. This patch reduces the number of
schedules to avoid duplicate processing of the same port change.

smc_lgr_terminate() and smc_lgr_terminate_sched() both result in soft
link termination, smc_lgr_terminate_sched() is scheduling a worker for
this task. Take out complexity by always using the termination worker
and getting rid of smc_lgr_terminate() completely.
