<title>net: qualcomm: qca_uart: report the consumed byte on RX skb allocation failure</title>

qca_tty_receive() consumes each input byte before checking whether a
completed frame needs a fresh receive skb. When the current byte completes
a frame, the driver delivers that frame and then allocates a new skb for
the next one.

If that allocation fails, the current code returns i even though data[i]
has already been consumed and may already have completed the delivered
frame. Since serdev interprets the return value as the number of accepted
bytes, this under-reports progress by one byte and can replay the final
byte of the completed frame into a fresh parser state on the next call.

Return i + 1 in that failure path so the accepted-byte count matches the
actual receive-state progress.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

<id>69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

The PPE hardware counters maintain counters for packets handled by the
various functional blocks of PPE. They help in tracing the packets
passed through PPE and debugging any packet drops.

The counters displayed by this debugfs file are ones that are common
for all Ethernet ports, and they do not include the counters that are
specific for a MAC port. Hence they cannot be displayed using ethtool.
The per-MAC counters will be supported using "ethtool -S" along with
the netdevice driver.

The PPE hardware various type counters are made available through the
debugfs files under directory "/sys/kernel/debug/ppe/".

Initialize the L2 bridge settings for the PPE ports to only enable
L2 frame forwarding between CPU port and PPE Ethernet ports.

The per-port L2 bridge settings are initialized as follows:
For PPE CPU port, the PPE bridge TX is enabled and FDB learning is
disabled. For PPE physical ports, the default L2 forwarding action
is initialized to forward to CPU port only.

L2/FDB learning and forwarding will not be enabled for PPE physical
ports yet, since the port's VSI (Virtual Switch Instance) and VSI
membership are not yet configured, which are required for FDB
forwarding. The VSI and FDB forwarding will later be enabled when
switchdev is enabled.

The PPE RSS hash is generated during PPE receive, based on the packet
content (3 tuples or 5 tuples) and as per the configured RSS seed. The
hash is then used to select the queue to transmit the packet to the
ARM CPU.

This patch initializes the RSS hash settings that are used to generate

PPE service code is a special code (0-255) that is defined by PPE for
PPE's packet processing stages, as per the network functions required
for the packet.

For packet being sent out by ARM cores on Ethernet ports, The service
code 1 is used as the default service code. This service code is used
to bypass most of packet processing stages of the PPE before the packet
transmitted out PPE port, since the software network stack has already
processed the packet.
