Currently conntrack_dump_flush test program always runs when passing
TEST_PROGS argument:

Move away from TEST_CUSTOM_PROGS to avoid this. After this,
above command will only run the program specified in TEST_PROGS.

switches
88E6250-family switches have the quirk that the EEPROM Running flag can
get stuck at 1 when no EEPROM is connected, causing
mv88e6xxx_g2_eeprom_wait() to time out. We still want to wait for the
EEPROM however, to avoid interrupting a transfer and leaving the EEPROM
in an invalid state.
The condition to wait for recommended by the hardware spec is the EEInt
flag, however this flag is cleared on read, so before the hardware reset,
is may have been cleared already even though the EEPROM has been read
successfully.
For this reason, we revive the mv88e6xxx_g1_wait_eeprom_done() function
that was removed in commit 6ccf50d4d474
("net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Avoid EEPROM timeout when EEPROM is absent") in a
slightly refactored form, and introduce a new
mv88e6xxx_g1_wait_eeprom_done_prereset() that additionally handles this
case by triggering another EEPROM reload that can be waited on.
On other switch models without this quirk, mv88e6xxx_g2_eeprom_wait() is
kept, as it avoids the additional reload.

Instead of calling mv88e6xxx_g2_eeprom_wait() directly from
mv88e6xxx_hardware_reset(), add configurable pre- and post-reset hard
reset handlers. Initially, the handlers are set to
mv88e6xxx_g2_eeprom_wait() for all families that have get/set_eeprom()
to match the existing behavior. No functional change intended (except
for additional error messages on failure).

tcp: update TCPCB_EVER_RETRANS after trace_tcp_retransmit_skb()
Move TCPCB_EVER_RETRANS updating after the trace_tcp_retransmit_skb()
in __tcp_retransmit_skb(), and then we are aware of whether the skb has
ever been retransmitted in this tracepoint. This can be used, e.g., to get
retransmission efficiency by counting skbs w/ and w/o TCPCB_EVER_RETRANS
(through bpf tracing programs).
For this purpose, TCPCB_EVER_RETRANS is also needed to be exposed to bpf.
Previously, the flags are defined as macros in struct tcp_skb_cb. I moved them
out into a new enum, and then they can be accessed with vmlinux.h.
We have discussed to achieve this with BPF_SOCK_OPS in [0], and using
tracepoint is thought to be a better solution.

The BPF sample building code looks a little bit spaghetti-ish
so move it out to its own Makefile snippet. Similar in the spirit
to how we include lib.mk. libynl will soon get a similar snippet.
There is a small change hiding in the move, the relative

from lib.mk such as top_srcdir and selfdir.

The hardware has three independent mirroring probes. Each probe can be

fulfilled before traffic is mirrored.
A mirror probe can have up to 64 source ports and a single monitor port.
The direction of a mirror probe determines if rx or tx traffic is

allocate dummy device dynamically
struct net_device shouldn't be embedded into any structure, instead,
the owner should use the private space to embed their state into
net_device.
But, in some cases the net_device is embedded inside the private
structure, which blocks the usage of zero-length arrays inside
net_device.
Create a helper to allocate a dummy device at dynamically runtime, and
move the Ethernet devices to use it, instead of embedding the dummy
device inside the private structure.
This fixes all the network cases plus some wireless drivers.
PS: Due to lack of hardware, unfortunately most these patches are
compiled tested only, except ath11k that was kindly tested by Kalle Valo.

It is impossible to use init_dummy_netdev together with alloc_netdev()
as the 'setup' argument.
This is because alloc_netdev() initializes some fields in the net_device
structure, and later init_dummy_netdev() memzero them all. This causes
some problems as reported here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
Split the init_dummy_netdev() function in two. Create a new function called
init_dummy_netdev_core() that does not memzero the net_device structure.
Then have init_dummy_netdev() memzero-ing and calling
init_dummy_netdev_core(), keeping the old behaviour.
init_dummy_netdev_core() is the new function that could be called as an
argument for alloc_netdev().
Also, create a helper to allocate and initialize dummy net devices,
leveraging init_dummy_netdev_core() as the setup argument. This function
basically simplify the allocation of dummy devices, by allocating and
initializing it. Freeing the device continue to be done through
free_netdev()

For dummy devices, exit earlier at free_netdev() instead of executing
the whole function. This is necessary, because dummy devices are
special, and shouldn't have the second part of the function executed.
Otherwise reg_state, which is NETREG_DUMMY, will be overwritten and
there will be no way to identify that this is a dummy device. Also, this
device do not need the final put_device(), since dummy devices are not
registered (through register_netdevice()), where the device reference is
increased (at netdev_register_kobject()/device_add()).
