bareudp: several code cleanup for bareudp module
This patchset is to cleanup bareudp module code.
1. The first patch is to add module alias
In the current bareudp code, there is no module alias.
So, RTNL couldn't load bareudp module automatically.
2. The second patch is to add extack message.
The extack error message is useful for noticing specific errors
when command is failed.
3. The third patch is to remove unnecessary udp_encap_enable().
In the bareudp_socket_create(), udp_encap_enable() is called.
But, the it's already called in the setup_udp_tunnel_sock().
So, it could be removed.

cxgb4/chcr: ktls tx ofld support on T6 adapter
This series of patches add support for kernel tls offload in Tx direction,
over Chelsio T6 NICs. SKBs marked as decrypted will be treated as tls plain
text packets and then offloaded to encrypt using network device (chelsio T6
adapter).
This series is broken down as follows:
Patch 1 defines a new macro and registers tls_dev_add and tls_dev_del
callbacks. When tls_dev_add gets called we send a connection request to
our hardware and to make HW understand about tls offload. Its a partial
connection setup and only ipv4 part is done.
Patch 2 handles the HW response of the connection request and then we
request to update TCB and handle it's HW response as well. Also we save
crypto key locally. Only supporting TLS_CIPHER_AES_GCM_128_KEY_SIZE.
Patch 3 handles tls marked skbs (decrypted bit set) and sends it to ULD for
crypto handling. This code has a minimal portion of tx handler, to handle
only one complete record per skb.
Patch 4 hanldes partial end part of records. Also added logic to handle
multiple records in one single skb. It also adds support to send out tcp
option(/s) if exists in skb. If a record is partial but has end part of a
record, we'll fetch complete record and then only send it to HW to generate
HASH on complete record.
Patch 5 handles partial first or middle part of record, it uses AES_CTR to
encrypt the partial record. If we are trying to send middle record, it's
start should be 16 byte aligned, so we'll fetch few earlier bytes from the
record and then send it to HW for encryption.
Patch 6 enables ipv6 support and also includes ktls startistics.
v1->v2:
- mark tcb state to close in tls_dev_del.
- u_ctx is now picked from adapter structure.
- clear atid in case of failure.
- corrected ULP_CRYPTO_KTLS_INLINE value.
- optimized tcb update using control queue.
- state machine handling when earlier states received.
- chcr_write_cpl_set_tcb_ulp function is shifted to patch3.
- un-necessary updating left variable.

net: allow user specify TC action HW stats type
Currently, when user adds a TC action and the action gets offloaded,
the user expects the HW stats to be counted and included in stats dump.
However, since drivers may implement different types of counting, there
is no way to specify which one the user is interested in.
For example for mlx5, only delayed counters are available as the driver
periodically polls for updated stats.
In case of mlxsw, the counters are queried on dump time. However, the
HW resources for this type of counters is quite limited (couple of
thousands). This limits the amount of supported offloaded filters
significantly. Without counter assigned, the HW is capable to carry
millions of those.
On top of that, mlxsw HW is able to support delayed counters as well in
greater numbers. That is going to be added in a follow-up patch.
This patchset allows user to specify one of the following types of HW
stats for added action:
immediate - queried during dump time
delayed - polled from HW periodically or sent by HW in async manner
disabled - no stats needed
Note that if "hw_stats" option is not passed, user does not care about
the type, just expects any type of stats.
Examples:
$ tc filter add dev enp0s16np28 ingress proto ip handle 1 pref 1 flower skip_sw dst_ip 192.168.1.1 action drop hw_stats disabled
$ tc -s filter show dev enp0s16np28 ingress

skip_sw

tun: debug messages cleanup
While testing ethtool output for "strange" devices, I noticed confusing and
obviously incorrect message level information for a tun device and sent
a quick fix. The result of the upstream discussion was that tun driver
would rather deserve a more complex cleanup of the way it handles debug
messages.
The main problem is that all debugging statements and setting of message
level are controlled by TUN_DEBUG macro which is only defined if one edits
the source and rebuilds the module, otherwise all DBG1() and tun_debug()
statements do nothing.
This series drops the TUN_DEBUG switch and replaces custom tun_debug()
macro with standard netif_info() so that message level (mask) set and
displayed using ethtool works as expected. Some debugging messages are
dropped as they only notify about entering a function which can be done
easily using ftrace or kprobe.

debug statements.
Also drop the tun_debug() statement informing about SIOCSIFHWADDR ioctl.
We can monitor these through rtnetlink and it makes little sense to log
address changes through ioctl but not changes through rtnetlink. Moreover,
this tun_debug() is called even if the actual address change fails which

PCI: Implement function to read Device Serial Number
Several drivers read the Device Serial Number from the PCIe extended
configuration space. Each of these drivers implements a similar approach to
finding the position and then extracting the 8 bytes of data.
Implement a new helper function, pci_get_dsn, which can be used to extract
this data into an 8 byte array.
Modify the bnxt_en, qedf, ice, ixgbe and nfp drivers to use this new
function.
The intent for this is to reduce duplicate code across the various drivers,
and make it easier to write future code that wants to read the DSN. In
particular the ice driver will be using the DSN as its serial number when
implementing the DEVLINK_CMD_INFO_GET.
The new implementation in v2 significantly simplifies some of the callers
which just want to print the value out in MSB order. By returning things as
a u64 in CPU Endian order, the "%016llX" printf format specifier can be used
to correctly format the value.

pci_get_dsn() reports the Device Serial number as a u64 value created by
combining two pci_read_config_dword functions. The lower 16 bits
represent the device interface value, and the next 48 bits represent the
serial value. Use put_unaligned_be32 and put_unaligned_be16 to convert

Replace the open-coded implementation for reading the PCIe DSN with

On Little Endian systems, the least significant byte comes first, which
will be the least significant byte of the first dword, followed by the
least significant byte of the second dword. Since the _le32 variations
do not perform byte swapping, we will correctly copy the dwords into the
dsn[] array in the same order as before.
On Big Endian systems, the most significant byte of the second dword
will come first. put_unaligned_le64 will perform a CPU_TO_LE64, which
will swap things correctly before copying. This should also end up with
the correct bytes in the dsn[] array.

The driver is only applicable to x86 guests running in VMware virtual
