<content type='text'>
Update all struct proto_ops connect() callback function prototypes from
"struct sockaddr *" to "struct sockaddr_unsized *" to avoid lying to the
compiler about object sizes. Calls into struct proto handlers gain casts
that will be removed in the struct proto conversion patch.

No binary changes expected.

<title>net: WQ_PERCPU added to alloc_workqueue users</title>

<id>27ce71e1ce81875df72f7698ba27988392bef602</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.

alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.

This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.

This change adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag at the network subsystem, to explicitly
request the use of the per-CPU behavior. Both flags coexist for one release
cycle to allow callers to transition their calls.

Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.

With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU.

All existing users have been updated accordingly.

We need to increment i_fastreg_wrs before we bail out from
rds_ib_post_reg_frmr().

We have a fixed budget of how many FRWR operations that can be
outstanding using the dedicated QP used for memory registrations and
de-registrations. This budget is enforced by the atomic_t
i_fastreg_wrs. If we bail out early in rds_ib_post_reg_frmr(), we will
"leak" the possibility of posting an FRWR operation, and if that
accumulates, no FRWR operation can be carried out.

Fixes: 1659185fb4d0 ("RDS: IB: Support Fastreg MR (FRMR) memory registration mode")
Fixes: 3a2886cca703 ("net/rds: Keep track of and wait for FRWR segments in use upon shutdown")

In the old days, RDS used FMR (Fast Memory Registration) to register
IB MRs to be used by RDMA. A newer and better verbs based
registration/de-registration method called FRWR (Fast Registration
Work Request) was added to RDS by commit 1659185fb4d0 ("RDS: IB:
Support Fastreg MR (FRMR) memory registration mode") in 2016.

Detection and enablement of FRWR was done in commit 2cb2912d6563
("RDS: IB: add Fastreg MR (FRMR) detection support"). But said commit
added an extern bool prefer_frmr, which was not used by said commit -
nor used by later commits. Hence, remove it.

Per the RDS 3.1 spec [1], RDS extension headers EXTHDR_NPATHS and
EXTHDR_GEN_NUM are be16 and be32 values respectively, exchanged during
normal operations over-the-wire (RDS Ping/Pong). This contrasts their
declarations as host endian unsigned ints.

Fix the annotations across occurrences. Flagged by Sparse.
