The method ndo_start_xmit() is defined as returning an 'netdev_tx_t',
which is a typedef for an enum type, so make sure the implementation in
this driver has returns 'netdev_tx_t' value, and change the function
return type to netdev_tx_t.

net: phy: phylink: ensure the carrier is off when starting phylink
Following the discussion we had regarding the phylink issue related to
the carrier link state not being off when starting phylink, I sent a fix
patch a few days ago for the PPv2 driver:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/14/633
The idea was to send a patch which could go to the stable branches, but
a better solution would be to directly call netif_carrier_off() from
within phylink_start(). This is the aim of this series.

Phylink made an assumption about the carrier state being down when
calling phylink_start(). If this assumption isn't satisfied, the
internal phylink state could misbehave and a net device could end up not
being functional.
This patch fixes this by explicitly calling netif_carrier_off() in
phylink_start().

====================
net: mvpp2: improve the interrupt usage
This series aims to improve the interrupts descriptions and usage in the
Marvell PPv2 driver.
- Before the series interrupts were named after their s/w usage,
which in fact can be configured. The series rename all those
interrupts and add a description of the ones left over.
- In PPv2 the interrupts are mapped to vectors. Those vectors were
directly mapped to a given CPU, and per-cpu accesses were done. While
this worked on our cases, the registers accesses mapped to the vectors
are not actually linked to a given CPU. They instead are linked to
what is called a "s/w thread". The series modify this so that the s/w
threads are used instead of the CPU numbers, by adding an indirection.
This means we now can have systems with more CPUs than s/w threads.
This is based on today's net-next, and was tested on various boards
using both versions of the PPv2 engine.
Two more patches will be coming, to update the device trees describing a
PPv2 engine. The patches are ready, but will go through a different
tree. I'll send them once this series will be accepted. This is not an
issue as the PPv2 driver keeps the dt bindings backward compatibility.

This patch renames the IRQs in the Marvell PPv2 driver as their current
names match the way they are used in software. But this will change in
the future, and those IRQs have nothing to do with Rx/Tx interrupts
(this can be configured). The new binding also describe more interrupts
as some where left out.
The old binding support is kept for backward compatibility.

net: phy: make phy_stop() synchronous
There have been few not that successful attempts in the past to make
phy_stop() a synchronous call instead of just changing the state.
Patch 1 of this series addresses an issue which prevented this change.
At least for me it works fine now. Would appreciate if Geert could
re-test as well that suspend doesn't throw an error.

When bringing down the netdevice (incl. detaching it) and calling
netif_carrier_off directly or indirectly the latter triggers an
asynchronous linkwatch event.
This linkwatch event eventually may fail to access chip registers in
the ndo_get_stats/ndo_get_stats64 callback because the device isn't
accessible any longer, see call trace in [0].
To prevent this scenario don't check for IFF_UP only, but also make
sure that the netdevice is present.

The batadv interfaces are virtual interfaces which just tunnel the traffic
over other ethernet compatible interfaces. It doesn't need serialization
during the tx phase and is using RCU for most of its internal
datastructures. Since it doesn't have actual queues which could be locked
independently, the throughput gets significantly reduced by the extra lock
in the core net code.

B.A.T.M.A.N. IV requires the number of rebroadcast from a neighboring
originator. These statistics are gathered per interface which transmitted
the OGM (and then received it again). Since an originator is not interface
specific, a resizable array was used in each originator.
This resizable array had an entry for each interface and had to be resizes
(for all OGMs) when the number of active interface was modified. This could
cause problems when a large number of interface is added and not enough
continuous memory is available to allocate the array.
There is already a per interface originator structure "batadv_orig_ifinfo"
which can be used to store this information.

A private debug logging infrastructure is currently provided via
$debug_fs/batman_adv/*/log when CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG is enabled. This is
not well integrated in the rest of the tracing infrastructure of the
kernel.
Other components (like mac80211 or ath10k) allow to gather the debug
messages using generic trace events which are better integrated. This makes
it possible to interact with them using the existing userspace tools.
The tracepoint batadv:batadv_dbg will now be available when
CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG and CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_TRACING is activated. The log
level mask is still used for filtering as usual.
A full system trace for offline parsing can be created (and read) using:
$ batctl ll all
$ trace-cmd record -e batadv:batadv_dbg
$ trace-cmd report
The same can also be done without recording to a file
$ batctl ll all
$ trace-cmd stream -e batadv:batadv_dbg
The trace infrastructure is especially helpful when tracing processes:
$ batctl ll all

The method ndo_start_xmit() is defined as returning an 'netdev_tx_t',
which is a typedef for an enum type, also the implementation in this
driver has returns 'netdev_tx_t' value, so just change the function
return type to netdev_tx_t.

struct pcpu_vstats and pcpu_lstats have same members and
usage, and pcpu_lstats is used in many files, so rename
pcpu_vstats as pcpu_lstats to reduce duplicate definition

Commonly, ethernet addresses are just using a policy of
{ .len = ETH_ALEN }
which leaves userspace free to send more data than it should,
which may hide bugs.
Introduce NLA_EXACT_LEN which checks for exact size, rejecting
the attribute if it's not exactly that length. Also add
NLA_EXACT_LEN_WARN which requires the minimum length and will
warn on longer attributes, for backward compatibility.
Use these to define NLA_POLICY_ETH_ADDR (new strict policy) and
NLA_POLICY_ETH_ADDR_COMPAT (compatible policy with warning);
these are used like this:
static const struct nla_policy <name>[...] = {
[NL_ATTR_NAME] = NLA_POLICY_ETH_ADDR,
...
};

In some situations some netlink attributes may be used for output
only (kernel->userspace) or may be reserved for future use. It's
then helpful to be able to prevent userspace from using them in
messages sent to the kernel, since they'd otherwise be ignored and
any future will become impossible if this happens.
Add NLA_REJECT to the policy which does nothing but reject (with
EINVAL) validation of any messages containing this attribute.
Allow for returning a specific extended ACK error message in the
validation_data pointer.
While at it clear up the documentation a bit - the NLA_BITFIELD32
documentation was added to the list of len field descriptions.
Also, use NL_SET_BAD_ATTR() in one place where it's open-coded.
The specific case I have in mind now is a shared nested attribute
containing request/response data, and it would be pointless and
potentially confusing to have userspace include response data in
the messages that actually contain a request.
