MDIO_DEVRES is only set where PHYLIB/PHYLINK are set which
select MDIO_DEVRES. So we can remove this symbol.

Note: Due to circular module dependencies we can't simply
      make mdio_devres.c part of phylib.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Continue Netlink conversions to per-namespace RTNL lock
     (IPv4 routing, routing rules, routing next hops, ARP ioctls)

   - Continue extending the use of netdev instance locks. As a driver
     opt-in protect queue operations and (in due course) ethtool
     operations with the instance lock and not RTNL lock.

   - Support collecting TCP timestamps (data submitted, sent, acked) in
     BPF, allowing for transparent (to the application) and lower
     overhead tracking of TCP RPC performance.

   - Tweak existing networking Rx zero-copy infra to support zero-copy
     Rx via io_uring.

   - Optimize MPTCP performance in single subflow mode by 29%.

   - Enable GRO on packets which went thru XDP CPU redirect (were queued
     for processing on a different CPU). Improving TCP stream
     performance up to 2x.

   - Improve performance of contended connect() by 200% by searching for
     an available 4-tuple under RCU rather than a spin lock. Bring an
     additional 229% improvement by tweaking hash distribution.

   - Avoid unconditionally touching sk_tsflags on RX, improving
     performance under UDP flood by as much as 10%.

   - Avoid skb_clone() dance in ping_rcv() to improve performance under
     ping flood.

   - Avoid FIB lookup in netfilter if socket is available, 20% perf win.

   - Rework network device creation (in-kernel) API to more clearly
     identify network namespaces and their roles. There are up to 4
     namespace roles but we used to have just 2 netns pointer arguments,
     interpreted differently based on context.

   - Use sysfs_break_active_protection() instead of trylock to avoid
     deadlocks between unregistering objects and sysfs access.

   - Add a new sysctl and sockopt for capping max retransmit timeout in
     TCP.

   - Support masking port and DSCP in routing rule matches.

   - Support dumping IPv4 multicast addresses with RTM_GETMULTICAST.

   - Support specifying at what time packet should be sent on AF_XDP
     sockets.

   - Expose TCP ULP diagnostic info (for TLS and MPTCP) to non-admin
     users.

   - Add Netlink YAML spec for WiFi (nl80211) and conntrack.

   - Introduce EXPORT_IPV6_MOD() and EXPORT_IPV6_MOD_GPL() for symbols
     which only need to be exported when IPv6 support is built as a
     module.

   - Age FDB entries based on Rx not Tx traffic in VxLAN, similar to
     normal bridging.

   - Allow users to specify source port range for GENEVE tunnels.

   - netconsole: allow attaching kernel release, CPU ID and task name to
     messages as metadata

  Driver API:

   - Continue rework / fixing of Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) across
     the SW layers. Delegate the responsibilities to phylink where
     possible. Improve its handling in phylib.

   - Support symmetric OR-XOR RSS hashing algorithm.

   - Support tracking and preserving IRQ affinity by NAPI itself.

   - Support loopback mode speed selection for interface selftests.

<content type='text'>
Add two helper functions - rtnl_newlink_link_net() and
rtnl_newlink_peer_net() for netns fallback logic. Peer netns falls back
to link netns, and link netns falls back to source netns.

Convert the use of params-&gt;net in netdevice drivers to one of the helper
functions for clarity.

<title>rtnetlink: Pack newlink() params into struct</title>
<updated>2025-02-21T23:28:02Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Xiao Liang</name>

<published>2025-02-19T12:50:28Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=69c7be1b903fca2835e80ec506bd1d75ce84fb4d'/>
<id>urn:sha1:69c7be1b903fca2835e80ec506bd1d75ce84fb4d</id>
<content type='text'>
There are 4 net namespaces involved when creating links:

 - source netns - where the netlink socket resides,
 - target netns - where to put the device being created,
 - link netns - netns associated with the device (backend),
 - peer netns - netns of peer device.

Currently, two nets are passed to newlink() callback - "src_net"
parameter and "dev_net" (implicitly in net_device). They are set as
follows, depending on netlink attributes in the request.

 +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
 | peer netns | IFLA_LINK_NETNSID | src_net | dev_net |
 +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
 |            | absent            | source  | target  |
 | absent     +-------------------+---------+---------+
 |            | present           | link    | link    |
 +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
 |            | absent            | peer    | target  |
 | present    +-------------------+---------+---------+
 |            | present           | peer    | link    |
 +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+

When IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is present, the device is created in link netns
first and then moved to target netns. This has some side effects,
including extra ifindex allocation, ifname validation and link events.
These could be avoided if we create it in target netns from
the beginning.

On the other hand, the meaning of src_net parameter is ambiguous. It
varies depending on how parameters are passed. It is the effective
link (or peer netns) by design, but some drivers ignore it and use
dev_net instead.

To provide more netns context for drivers, this patch packs existing
newlink() parameters, along with the source netns, link netns and peer
netns, into a struct. The old "src_net" is renamed to "net" to avoid
confusion with real source netns, and will be deprecated later. The use
of src_net are converted to params-&gt;net trivially.

The module parameter qcaspi_pluggable controls if QCA7000 signature
should be checked at driver probe (current default) or not. Unfortunately
this could fail in case the chip is temporary in reset, which isn't under
total control by the Linux host. So disable this check per default
in order to avoid unexpected probe failures.

<content type='text'>
Storing the maximum clock speed in module parameter qcaspi_clkspeed
has the unintended side effect that the first probed instance
defines the value for all other instances. Fix this issue by storing
it in max_speed_hz of the relevant SPI device.

This fix keeps the priority of the speed parameter (module parameter,
device tree property, driver default). Btw this uses the opportunity
to get the rid of the unused member clkspeed.

The commit 92717c2356cb ("net: qca_spi: Avoid high load if QCA7000 is not
available") fixed the high load in case the QCA7000 is not available
but introduced sync delays for some corner cases like buffer errors.

So add the reset requests to the atomics flags, which are polled by
the SPI thread. As a result reset requests and sync state are now
separated. This has the nice benefit to make the code easier to
understand.

After a reset of the QCA7000, the amount of available write buffer
space should match QCASPI_HW_BUF_LEN. If this is not the case
this error should be counted as such.

To prepare for constifying the following old driver core API:

struct device *device_find_child(struct device *dev, void *data,
		int (*match)(struct device *dev, void *data));
to new:
struct device *device_find_child(struct device *dev, const void *data,
		int (*match)(struct device *dev, const void *data));

The new API does not allow its match function (*match)() to modify
caller's match data @*data, but emac_sgmii_acpi_match(), as the old
API's match function, indeed modifies relevant match data, so it is
not suitable for the new API any more, solved by implementing the same
finding sgmii_ops function by correcting the function and using it
as parameter of device_for_each_child() instead of device_find_child().

By the way, this commit does not change any existing logic.
