Add new nested netlink attribute to configure the MRP. These attributes are used
by the userspace to add/delete/configure MRP instances and by the kernel to
notify the userspace when the MRP ring gets open/closed. MRP nested attribute
has the following attributes:

IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_INSTANCE - the parameter type is br_mrp_instance which contains
  the instance id, and the ifindex of the two ports. The ports can't be part of
  multiple instances. This is used to create/delete MRP instances.

IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_PORT_STATE - the parameter type is u32. Which can be forwarding,
  blocking or disabled.

IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_PORT_ROLE - the parameter type is br_mrp_port_role which
  contains the instance id and the role. The role can be primary or secondary.

IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_RING_STATE - the parameter type is br_mrp_ring_state which
  contains the instance id and the state. The state can be open or closed.

IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_RING_ROLE - the parameter type is br_mrp_ring_role which
  contains the instance id and the ring role. The role can be MRM or MRC.

IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_START_TEST - the parameter type is br_mrp_start_test which
  contains the instance id, the interval at which to send the MRP_Test frames,
  how many test frames can be missed before declaring the ring open and the
  period which represent for how long to send the test frames.

Also add the file include/uapi/linux/mrp_bridge.h which defines all the types
used by MRP that are also needed by the userpace.

<title>ether: Add dedicated Ethertype for pseudo-802.1Q DSA tagging</title>

There are two possible utilizations so far:

- Switch devices that don't support a native insertion/extraction header
  on the CPU port may still enjoy the benefits of port isolation with a
  custom VLAN tag.

  For this, they need to have a customizable TPID in hardware and a new
  Ethertype to distinguish between real 802.1Q traffic and the private
  tags used for port separation.

- Switches that don't support the deactivation of VLAN awareness, but
  still want to have a mode in which they accept all traffic, including
  frames that are tagged with a VLAN not configured on their ports, may
  use this as a fake to trick the hardware into thinking that the TPID
  for VLAN is something other than 0x8100.

What follows after the ETH_P_DSA_8021Q EtherType is a regular VLAN
header (TCI), however there is no other EtherType that can be used for
this purpose and doesn't already have a well-defined meaning.
ETH_P_8021AD, ETH_P_QINQ1, ETH_P_QINQ2 and ETH_P_QINQ3 expect that
another follow-up VLAN tag is present, which is not the case here.

Fun set of conflict resolutions here...

For the mac80211 stuff, these were fortunately just parallel
adds.  Trivially resolved.

In drivers/net/phy/phy.c we had a bug fix in 'net' that moved the
function phy_disable_interrupts() earlier in the file, whilst in
'net-next' the phy_error() call from this function was removed.

In net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c, David Ahern's changes to remove the
'rt_table_id' member of rtable collided with a bug fix in 'net' that
added a new struct member "rt_mtu_locked" which needs to be copied
over here.

The mlxsw driver conflict consisted of net-next separating
the span code and definitions into separate files, whilst
a 'net' bug fix made some changes to that moved code.

The mlx5 infiniband conflict resolution was quite non-trivial,
the RDMA tree's merge commit was used as a guide here, and
here are their notes:

====================

    Due to bug fixes found by the syzkaller bot and taken into the for-rc
    branch after development for the 4.17 merge window had already started
    being taken into the for-next branch, there were fairly non-trivial
    merge issues that would need to be resolved between the for-rc branch
    and the for-next branch.  This merge resolves those conflicts and
    provides a unified base upon which ongoing development for 4.17 can
    be based.

    Conflicts:
            drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.c - Commit 42cea83f9524
            (IB/mlx5: Fix cleanup order on unload) added to for-rc and
            commit b5ca15ad7e61 (IB/mlx5: Add proper representors support)
            add as part of the devel cycle both needed to modify the
            init/de-init functions used by mlx5.  To support the new
            representors, the new functions added by the cleanup patch
            needed to be made non-static, and the init/de-init list
            added by the representors patch needed to be modified to
            match the init/de-init list changes made by the cleanup
            patch.
    Updates:
            drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/mlx5_ib.h - Update function
            prototypes added by representors patch to reflect new function
            names as changed by cleanup patch
            drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/ib_rep.c - Update init/de-init
            stage list to match new order from cleanup patch

<title>net: Fix vlan untag for bridge and vlan_dev with reorder_hdr off</title>

<id>4bbb3e0e8239f9079bf1fe20b3c0cb598714ae61</id>
<content type='text'>
When we have a bridge with vlan_filtering on and a vlan device on top of
it, packets would be corrupted in skb_vlan_untag() called from
br_dev_xmit().

The problem sits in skb_reorder_vlan_header() used in skb_vlan_untag(),
which makes use of skb-&gt;mac_len. In this function mac_len is meant for
handling rx path with vlan devices with reorder_header disabled, but in
tx path mac_len is typically 0 and cannot be used, which is the problem
in this case.

The current code even does not properly handle rx path (skb_vlan_untag()
called from __netif_receive_skb_core()) with reorder_header off actually.

In rx path single tag case, it works as follows:

- Before skb_reorder_vlan_header()

 mac_header                                data
   v                                        v
   +-------------------+-------------+------+----
   |        ETH        |    VLAN     | ETH  |
   |       ADDRS       | TPID | TCI  | TYPE |
   +-------------------+-------------+------+----
   &lt;-------- mac_len ---------&gt;
                       &lt;-------------&gt;
                        to be removed

- After skb_reorder_vlan_header()

            mac_header                     data
                 v                          v
                 +-------------------+------+----
                 |        ETH        | ETH  |
                 |       ADDRS       | TYPE |
                 +-------------------+------+----
                 &lt;-------- mac_len ---------&gt;

This is ok, but in rx double tag case, it corrupts packets:

- Before skb_reorder_vlan_header()

 mac_header                                              data
   v                                                      v
   +-------------------+-------------+-------------+------+----
   |        ETH        |    VLAN     |    VLAN     | ETH  |
   |       ADDRS       | TPID | TCI  | TPID | TCI  | TYPE |
   +-------------------+-------------+-------------+------+----
   &lt;--------------- mac_len ----------------&gt;
                                     &lt;-------------&gt;
                                    should be removed
                       &lt;---------------------------&gt;
                         actually will be removed

- After skb_reorder_vlan_header()

            mac_header                                   data
                 v                                        v
                               +-------------------+------+----
                               |        ETH        | ETH  |
                               |       ADDRS       | TYPE |
                               +-------------------+------+----
                 &lt;--------------- mac_len ----------------&gt;

So, two of vlan tags are both removed while only inner one should be
removed and mac_header (and mac_len) is broken.

skb_vlan_untag() is meant for removing the vlan header at (skb-&gt;data - 2),
so use skb-&gt;data and skb-&gt;mac_header to calculate the right offset.

            mac_header                                   data
                 v                                        v
                               +-------------------+------+----
                               |        ETH        | ETH  |
                               |       ADDRS       | TYPE |
                               +-------------------+------+----
                 &lt;--------------- mac_len ----------------&gt;

So, two of vlan tags are both removed while only inner one should be
removed and mac_header (and mac_len) is broken.

skb_vlan_untag() is meant for removing the vlan header at (skb-&gt;data - 2),
so use skb-&gt;data and skb-&gt;mac_header to calculate the right offset.

This fixes a compile problem of some user space applications by not
including linux/libc-compat.h in uapi/if_ether.h.

linux/libc-compat.h checks which "features" the header files, included
from the libc, provide to make the Linux kernel uapi header files only
provide no conflicting structures and enums. If a user application mixes
kernel headers and libc headers it could happen that linux/libc-compat.h
gets included too early where not all other libc headers are included
yet. Then the linux/libc-compat.h would not prevent all the
redefinitions and we run into compile problems.
This patch removes the include of linux/libc-compat.h from
uapi/if_ether.h to fix the recently introduced case, but not all as this
is more or less impossible.

It is no problem to do the check directly in the if_ether.h file and not
in libc-compat.h as this does not need any fancy glibc header detection
as glibc never provided struct ethhdr and should define
__UAPI_DEF_ETHHDR by them self when they will provide this.

The following test program did not compile correctly any more:

#include &lt;linux/if_ether.h&gt;
#include &lt;netinet/in.h&gt;
#include &lt;linux/in.h&gt;

int main(void)
{
	return 0;
}

Musl provides its own ethhdr struct definition. Add a guard to prevent
its definition of the appropriate musl header has already been included.

glibc does not implement this header, but when glibc will implement this
they can just define __UAPI_DEF_ETHHDR 0 to make it work with the
kernel.
