When an ethernet frame is padded to meet the minimum ethernet frame
size, the padding octets are not covered by the hardware checksum.
Fortunately the padding octets are usually zero's, which don't affect
checksum. However, it is not guaranteed. For example, switches might
choose to make other use of these octets.
This repeatedly causes kernel hardware checksum fault.
Prior to the cited commit below, skb checksum was forced to be
CHECKSUM_NONE when padding is detected. After it, we need to keep
skb->csum updated. However, fixing up CHECKSUM_COMPLETE requires to
verify and parse IP headers, it does not worth the effort as the packets
are so small that CHECKSUM_COMPLETE has no significant advantage.
Future work: when reporting checksum complete is not an option for
IP non-TCP/UDP packets, we can actually fallback to report checksum
unnecessary, by looking at cqe IPOK bit.

The DMA API generally relies on a struct device to work properly, and

When mvpp2 configures the flow control modes in mvpp2_xlg_config() for
10G mode, it only ever set the flow control enable bits. There is no
mechanism to clear these bits, which means that userspace is unable to
use standard APIs to disable flow control (the only way is to poke the
register directly.)
Fix the missing bit clearance to allow flow control to be disabled.
This means that, by default, as there is no negotiation in 10G modes
with mvpp2, flow control is now disabled rather than being rx-only.

Add support for runtime determination of what the PHY supports, by
adding a new function to the phy driver. The get_features call should
set the phydev->supported member with the features the PHY supports.
It is only called if phydrv->features is NULL.
This requires minor changes to pause. The PHY driver should not set
pause abilities, except for when it has odd cause capabilities, e.g.
pause cannot be disabled. With this change, phydev->supported already
contains the drivers abilities, including pause. So rather than
considering phydrv->features, look at the phydev->supported, and
enable pause if neither of the pause bits are already set.

phylink already limits which interface modes are able to call the

incorrect: the AN restart bit does not automatically clear when
set. This has been found via manual setting using devmem2, and

the AN restart bit remains set. Explicitly clear the AN restart

mac_config() can be called at any point, and the expected behaviour
from MAC drivers is to only reprogram when necessary - and certainly
avoid taking the link down on every call.
Unfortunately, mvpp2 does exactly that - it takes the link down, and
reprograms everything, and then releases the forced-link down.
This is bad, it can cause the link to bounce:
- SFP detects signal, disables LOS indication.
- SFP code calls into phylink, calling phylink_sfp_link_up() which
triggers a resolve.
- phylink_resolve() calls phylink_get_mac_state() and finds the MAC
reporting link up.
- phylink wants to configure the pause mode on the MAC, so calls
phylink_mac_config()
- mvpp2 takes the link down temporarily, generating a MAC link down
event followed by another MAC link event.
- phylink calls mac_link_up() and then processes the MAC link down
event.
- phylink_resolve() gets called again, registers the link down, and
calls mach_link_down() before re-running itself.
- phylink_resolve() starts again at step 3 above. This sequence
repeats.
GMAC versions prior to mvpp2 do not require the link to be taken down
except when certain link properties (eg, switching between SGMII and
1000base-X mode, or enabling/disabling in-band negotiation) are
changed. Implement this for mvpp2.

It appears that the mvpp22 can get stuck with SGMII negotiation. The
symptoms are that in-band negotiation never completes and the partner
(eg, PHY) never reports SGMII link up, or if it supports negotiation
bypass, goes into negotiation bypass mode (which will happen when the
PHY sees that the MAC is alive but gets no response.)
Triggering the PHY end of the link to re-negotiate results in the
bypass bit clearing on the PHY, and then re-setting - indicating that
the problem is at the mvpp22 GMAC end.
Asserting the GMAC reset and de-asserting it resolves the issue.
Arrange to assert the GMAC reset at probe time, and deassert it only
after we have configured the GMAC for the appropriate mode. This
resolves the issue.

Sven Auhagen reported issues with negotiation on a couple of his
platforms using a mixture of SFP and PHYs in various different
modes. Debugging to root cause proved difficult, but essentially
the problem comes down to the mvpp2 phylink implementation being
slightly at odds with what is expected.
phylink operates in three modes: phy, fixed-link, and in-band mode.
In the first two modes, the expected behaviour from a MAC driver is
that phylink resolves the operating mode and passes the mode to the
MAC driver for it to program, including when the link should be
brought up or taken down. This is basically the same as the libphy
approach. This does not negate the requirement to advertise a correct
control word for interface modes that have control words where that
can be reasonably controlled.
The second mode is in-band mode, where the MAC is expected to use the
in-band control word to determine the operating mode.
The mvneta driver implements the correct pattern required to support
this: configure the port interface type separately from the in-band
mode(s). This is now specified in the phylink documentation patches.
mvpp2 was programming in-band mode for SGMII and the 802.3z modes no
what, and avoided forcing the link up in fixed/phy modes. This caused
a problem with some boards where the PHY is by default programmed to
enter AN bypass mode, the PHY would report that the link was up, but
the mvpp2 never completed the exchange of control word.
Another issue that mvpp2 has is it sets SGMII AN format control word
for both SGMII and 802.3z modes. The format of the control word is
defined by MVPP2_GMAC_INBAND_AN_MASK, which should be set for SGMII
and clear for 802.3z. Available Marvell documentation for earlier
GMAC implementations does not make this clear, but this has been
ascertained via extensive testing on earlier GMAC implementations,
and then confirmed with a Macchiatobin Single Shot connected to a
Clearfog: when MVPP2_GMAC_INBAND_AN_MASK is set, the clearfog does
not receive the advertised pause mode settings.
Lastly, there is no flow control in the in-band control word in Cisco
SGMII, setting the flow control autonegotiation bit even with a PHY
that has the Marvell extension to send this information does not result
in the flow control being enabled at the MAC. We need to do this
manually using the information provided via phylink.
Re-code mvpp2's mac_config() and mac_link_up() to follow this pattern.
This allows Sven Auhagen's board and Macchiatobin to reliably bring
the link up with the 88e1512 PHY with phylink operating in PHY mode
with COMPHY built as a module but the rest of the networking built-in,
and u-boot having brought up the interface. in-band mode requires an
additional patch to resolve another problem.

size = sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo);

Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can

Notice that, in this case, variable size is not necessary, hence

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo entry[];
};
size = sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo);
instance = kzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL)
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL)
Notice that, in this case, variable fsz is not necessary, hence
it is removed.
