They're very hard to use properly as they do not consider the
GSO_BY_FRAGS case. Code should use skb_gso_validate_network_len
and skb_gso_validate_mac_len as they do consider this case.

Make the seglen functions static, which stops people using them
outside of skbuff.c

If you take a GSO skb, and split it into packets, will the network
length (L3 headers + L4 headers + payload) of those packets be small
enough to fit within a given MTU?

skb_gso_validate_mtu gives you the answer to that question. However,
we recently added to add a way to validate the MAC length of a split GSO
skb (L2+L3+L4+payload), and the names get confusing, so rename
skb_gso_validate_mtu to skb_gso_validate_network_len

<title>net: allow interface to be set into VRF if VLAN interface in same VRF</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=50d629e7a843d1635ecb1658335279503c4ec9a8'/>
<id>50d629e7a843d1635ecb1658335279503c4ec9a8</id>
<content type='text'>
Setting an interface into a VRF fails with 'RTNETLINK answers: File
exists' if one of its VLAN interfaces is already in the same VRF.
As the VRF is an upper device of the VLAN interface, it is also showing
up as an upper device of the interface itself. The solution is to
restrict this check to devices other than master. As only one master
device can be linked to a device, the check in this case is that the
upper device (VRF) being linked to is not the same as the master device
instead of it not being any one of the upper devices.

The following example shows an interface ens12 (with a VLAN interface
ens12.10) being set into VRF green, which behaves as expected:

  # ip link add link ens12 ens12.10 type vlan id 10
  # ip link set dev ens12 master vrfgreen
  # ip link show dev ens12
    3: ens12: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel
       master vrfgreen state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
       link/ether 52:54:00:4c:a0:45 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

But if the VLAN interface has previously been set into the same VRF,
then setting the interface into the VRF fails:

  # ip link set dev ens12 nomaster
  # ip link set dev ens12.10 master vrfgreen
  # ip link show dev ens12.10
    39: ens12.10@ens12: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP&gt; mtu 1500
    qdisc noqueue master vrfgreen state UP mode DEFAULT group default
    qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:4c:a0:45 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
  # ip link set dev ens12 master vrfgreen
    RTNETLINK answers: File exists

The workaround is to move the VLAN interface back into the default VRF
beforehand, but it has to be shut first so as to avoid the risk of
traffic leaking from the VRF. This fix avoids needing this workaround.

Current code uses global variables, adjusts them and passes pointer down
to devlink. With every other mlxsw_core instance, the previously passed
pointer values are rewritten. Fix this by de-globalize the variables and
also memcpy size_params during devlink resource registration.
Also, introduce a convenient size_param_init helper.

The current implementation checks the combined size of the children with
the 'size' of the parent. The correct behavior is to check the combined
size vs the pending change and to compare vs the 'size_new'.

pfifo_fast got percpu stats lately, uncovering a bug I introduced last
year in linux-4.10.

I missed the fact that we have to clear our temporary storage
before calling __gnet_stats_copy_basic() in the case of percpu stats.

Without this fix, rate estimators (tc qd replace dev xxx root est 1sec
4sec pfifo_fast) are utterly broken.

<title>net: fix race on decreasing number of TX queues</title>

netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() can be called when netdev is up.
That usually happens when user requests change of number of
channels/rings with ethtool -L.  The procedure for changing
the number of queues involves resetting the qdiscs and setting
dev-&gt;num_tx_queues to the new value.  When the new value is
lower than the old one, extra care has to be taken to ensure
ordering of accesses to the number of queues vs qdisc reset.

Currently the queues are reset before new dev-&gt;num_tx_queues
is assigned, leaving a window of time where packets can be
enqueued onto the queues going down, leading to a likely
crash in the drivers, since most drivers don't check if TX
skbs are assigned to an active queue.
