TC filters when used as classifiers are bound to TC classes.
However, there is a hidden difference when adding them in different
orders:
1. If we add tc classes before its filters, everything is fine.
Logically, the classes exist before we specify their ID's in
filters, it is easy to bind them together, just as in the current
code base.
2. If we add tc filters before the tc classes they bind, we have to
do dynamic lookup in fast path. What's worse, this happens all
the time not just once, because on fast path tcf_result is passed
on stack, there is no way to propagate back to the one in tc filters.
This hidden difference hurts performance silently if we have many tc
classes in hierarchy.
This patch intends to close this gap by doing the reverse binding when
we create a new class, in this case we can actually search all the
filters in its parent, match and fixup by classid. And because
tcf_result is specific to each type of tc filter, we have to introduce
a new ops for each filter to tell how to bind the class.
Note, we still can NOT totally get rid of those class lookup in
->enqueue() because cgroup and flow filters have no way to determine
the classid at setup time, they still have to go through dynamic lookup.

Introduce a new flow table and indirect TIRs which are used to hash the
inner packet headers of GRE tunneled packets.
When a GRE tunneled packet is received, the TTC flow table will match
the new IPv4/6->GRE rules which will forward it to the inner TTC table.
The inner TTC is similar to its counterpart outer TTC table, but
matching the inner packet headers instead of the outer ones (and does
not include the new IPv4/6->GRE rules).
The new rules will not add steering hops since they are added to an
already existing flow group which will be matched regardless of this
patch. Non GRE traffic will not be affected.
The inner flow table will forward the packet to inner indirect TIRs
which hash the inner packet and thus result in RSS for the tunneled
packets.

This change adds the ability for flow steering to classify IPv4/6
packets with MPLS tag (Ethertype 0x8847 and 0x8848) as standard IP
packets and hit IPv4/6 classification steering rules.
Since IP packets with MPLS tag header have MPLS ethertype, they
missed the IPv4/6 ethertype rule and ended up hitting the default
filter forwarding all the packets to the same single RQ (No RSS).
Since our device is able to look past the MPLS tag and identify the
next protocol we introduce this solution which replaces ethertype
matching by the device's capability to perform IP version
identification and matching in order to distinguish between IPv4 and
IPv6.
Therefore, when driver is performing flow steering configuration on the
device it will use IP version matching in IP classified rules instead
of ethertype matching which will cause relevant MPLS tagged packets to
hit this rule as well.
If the device doesn't support IP version matching the driver will fall back
to use legacy ethertype matching in the steering as before.

IPv6 packet may carry more than one extension header, and IPv6 nodes must
accept and attempt to process extension headers in any order and occurring
any number of times in the same packet. Hence, there should be no
assumption that Segment Routing extension header is to appear immediately
after the IPv6 header.
Moreover, section 4.1 of RFC 8200 gives a recommendation on the order of
appearance of those extension headers within an IPv6 packet. According to
this recommendation, Segment Routing extension header should appear after
Hop-by-Hop and Destination Options headers (if they present).
This patch fixes the get_srh(), so it gets the segment routing header
regardless of its position in the chain of the extension headers in IPv6
packet, and makes sure that the IPv6 routing extension header is of Type 4.

net: mvpp2: comphy configuration
This series, following up the one one the GoP/MAC configuration, aims at
stopping to depend on the firmware/bootloader configuration when using
the PPv2 engine. With this series the PPv2 driver does not need to rely
on a previous configuration, and dynamic reconfiguration while the
kernel is running can be done (i.e. switch one port from SGMII to 10G,
or the opposite). A port can now be configured in a different mode than
what's done in the firmware/bootloader as well.
The series first contain patches in the generic PHY framework to support
what is called the comphy (common PHYs), which is an h/w block providing
PHYs that can be configured in various modes ranging from SGMII, 10G
to SATA and others. As of now only the SGMII and 10G modes are
supported by the comphy driver.
Then patches are modifying the PPv2 driver to first add the comphy
initialization sequence (i.e. calls to the generic PHY framework) and to
then take advantage of this to allow dynamic reconfiguration (i.e.
configuring the mode of a port given what's connected, between sgmii and
10G). Note the use of the comphy in the PPv2 driver is kept optional
(i.e. if not described in dt the driver still as before an relies on the
firmware/bootloader configuration).
Finally there are dt/defconfig patches to describe and take advantage of
this.
This was tested on a range of devices: 8040-db, 8040-mcbin and 7040-db.
@Dave: the dt patches should go through the mvebu tree (patches 9-13).
Thanks!

2) changed all act_xxx modules to use IDR instead of

But IDR has a limitation that it uses int. TC handle uses u32.

Typically, each TC filter has its own action. All the actions of the
same type are saved in its hash table. But the hash buckets are too
small that it degrades to a list. And the performance is greatly
affected. For example, it takes about 0m11.914s to insert 64K rules.
If we convert the hash table to IDR, it only takes about 0m1.500s.
The improvement is huge.
But please note that the test result is based on previous patch that
cls_flower uses IDR.

Currently, all filters with the same priority are linked in a doubly
linked list. Every filter should have a unique handle. To make the
handle unique, we need to iterate the list every time to see if the
handle exists or not when inserting a new filter. It is time-consuming.
For example, it takes about 5m3.169s to insert 64K rules.
This patch changes cls_flower to use IDR. With this patch, it
takes about 0m1.127s to insert 64K rules. The improvement is huge.
But please note that in this testing, all filters share the same action.
If every filter has a unique action, that is another bottleneck.

Stephen regarding netdev_priv and sparse related errors of using 0 as NULL
v8->v9: Fix comments from David - Remove the CFLAG rule. Change the way
rmnet devices are freed. Instead of using a workqueue to unregister devices
individually, go through the list and free all devices within the rtnl_lock().
v9->v10: Actually fix the locking as mentioned by David. The locking scheme is
mentioned in a comment in rmnet_config.c. Change comment near MAP type
definition as mentioned by Dan. Refactor some code.
v10->v11: Allow RMNET to compile as a module as mentioned by David

RmNet driver provides a transport agnostic MAP (multiplexing and
aggregation protocol) support in embedded module. Module provides
virtual network devices which can be attached to any IP-mode
physical device. This will be used to provide all MAP functionality
on future hardware in a single consistent location.

Define the raw IP type. This is needed for raw IP net devices
like rmnet.
