Here is the big USB driver pull request for 3.16-rc1.
Nothing huge here, but lots of little things in the USB core, and in
lots of drivers. Hopefully the USB power management will be work better
now that it has been reworked to do per-port power control dynamically.
There's also a raft of gadget driver updates and fixes, CONFIG_USB_DEBUG
is finally gone now that everything has been converted over to the
dynamic debug inteface, the last hold-out drivers were cleaned up and
the config option removed. There were also other minor things all
through the drivers/usb/ tree, the shortlog shows this pretty well.
All have been in linux-next, including the very last patch, which came
from linux-next to fix a build issue on some platforms.

Pull request: Fixes for new ethtool RSS commands
This addresses several problems I previously identified with the new
ETHTOOL_{G,S}RSSH commands:
1. Missing validation of reserved parameters
2. Vague documentation
3. Use of unnamed magic number
4. No consolidation with existing driver operations
I don't currently have access to suitable network hardware, but have
tested these changes with a dummy driver that can support various
combinations of operations and sizes, together with (a) Debian's ethtool
3.13 (b) ethtool 3.14 with the submitted patch to use ETHTOOL_{G,S}RSSH

The min_tx_pkt variable decides the cutoff point where the driver
will stop padding out NTBs to maximum size. The padding is a tradeoff
where we use some USB bus bandwidth to allow the device to receive
fixed size buffers. Different devices will have different optimal
settings, spanning from no padding at all to padding every NTB.
There is no way to automatically figure out which setting is best
for a specific device.
The default value is a reasonable tradeoff, calculated based on the
USB packet size and out NTB max size. This may have to be changed
along with any tx_max changes.

The mandatory GetNtbParameters control request is an important part of
the host <-> device protocol negotiation in CDC NCM (and CDC MBIM). It
gives device limits which the host must obey when configuring the
protocol aggregation variables. The driver will enforce this by
rejecting attempts to set any of the tunable variables to a value
which is not supported by the device. Exporting the parameter block
helps userspace decide which values are allowed without resorting
to trial and error.

The ethtool coalesce API is not applicable for this driver. Forcing

Attach a driver specific sysfs group to the netdev, and use it
for the rx/tx aggregation variables.
The datagram aggregation defined by the CDC NCM specification is
specific to this device class (including CDC MBIM). Using the
ethtool interrupt coalesce API as an interface to the aggregation
parameters redefined that API in a driver specific and confusing
way. A sysfs group
- makes it clear that this is a driver specific userspace API, and
- allows us to export the real values instead of some translated
version, and
- lets us include more aggregation variables which were impossible
to force into the ethtool API.
Additionally, using sysfs allows tuning the driver on space
constrained hosts where userspace tools like ethtool are undesired.

It doesn't matter whether the buffer size goes up or down. We have to
keep usbnet and device syncronized to be able to split transfers at the
correct boundaries. The spec allow skipping short packets when using
max sized transfers. If we don't tell usbnet about our new expected rx
buffer size, then it will merge and/or split NTBs. The driver does not
support this, and the result will be lots of framing errors.
Fix by always reallocating usbnet rx buffers when the rx_max value
changes.

While fixing a bug reported by Avery I went ahead
and added a warning suspecting there might be
something more to the bug. This ended up with
people reporting they see warnings during heavy
traffic. This bought me some time and helped me
understand the problem better - apparently fw/hw
can report a chained msdus as follows: 1 msdu, 1
chained, 1 msdu (0 length).
The patch removes the extra check but leaves the
other change that fixed the original skb_push
panic bug (msdu_chaining was overwritten in an
unfortunate way which made the above example to
be treated as non-chained case).

Ideally, we would need to generate IP ID using a per destination IP
generator.
linux kernels used inet_peer cache for this purpose, but this had a huge
cost on servers disabling MTU discovery.
1) each inet_peer struct consumes 192 bytes
2) inetpeer cache uses a binary tree of inet_peer structs,
with a nominal size of ~66000 elements under load.
3) lookups in this tree are hitting a lot of cache lines, as tree depth
is about 20.
4) If server deals with many tcp flows, we have a high probability of
not finding the inet_peer, allocating a fresh one, inserting it in
the tree with same initial ip_id_count, (cf secure_ip_id())
5) We garbage collect inet_peer aggressively.
IP ID generation do not have to be 'perfect'
Goal is trying to avoid duplicates in a short period of time,
so that reassembly units have a chance to complete reassembly of
fragments belonging to one message before receiving other fragments
with a recycled ID.
We simply use an array of generators, and a Jenkin hash using the dst IP
as a key.
ipv6_select_ident() is put back into net/ipv6/ip6_output.c where it
belongs (it is only used from this file)
secure_ip_id() and secure_ipv6_id() no longer are needed.
Rename ip_select_ident_more() to ip_select_ident_segs() to avoid
unnecessary decrement/increment of the number of segments.

This change updates the enic driver to make use of __dev_uc_sync and
__dev_mc_sync calls. Previously the driver was doing its own list
management by storing the mc_addr and uc_addr list in a 32 address array.
With this change the sync data is stored in the netdev_addr_list structures
and instead we just track how many addresses we have written to the device.
When we encounter 32 we stop and print a message as occurred previously with
the old approach.
Other than the core change the only other bit needed was to propagate the
constant attribute with the MAC address as there were several spots where

of the mc_addr and uc_addr arrays.
