427c940558 net/ncsi: Use real net-device for response handler
When aggregating ncsi interfaces and dedicated interfaces to bond
interfaces, the ncsi response handler will use the wrong net device to
find ncsi_dev, so that the ncsi interface will not work properly.
Here, we use the original net device to fix it.

This patch adds handlers for PLDM over NC-SI command response.

This enables NC-SI driver recognizes the packet type so the responses
don't get dropped as unknown packet type.

PLDM over NC-SI are not handled in kernel driver for now, but can be
passed back to user space via Netlink for further handling.

1c5c12ee30 net/ncsi: handle overflow when incrementing mac address
Previously BMC's MAC address is calculated by simply adding 1 to the
last byte of network controller's MAC address, and it produces incorrect
result when network controller's MAC address ends with 0xFF.

The problem can be fixed by calling eth_addr_inc() function to increment
MAC address; besides, the MAC address is also validated before assigning
to BMC.

8d951a75d0 net/ncsi: Configure multi-package, multi-channel modes with failover
This patch extends the ncsi-netlink interface with two new commands and
three new attributes to configure multiple packages and/or channels at
once, and configure specific failover modes.

NCSI_CMD_SET_PACKAGE mask and NCSI_CMD_SET_CHANNEL_MASK set a whitelist
of packages or channels allowed to be configured with the
NCSI_ATTR_PACKAGE_MASK and NCSI_ATTR_CHANNEL_MASK attributes
respectively. If one of these whitelists is set only packages or
channels matching the whitelist are considered for the channel queue in
ncsi_choose_active_channel().

These commands may also use the NCSI_ATTR_MULTI_FLAG to signal that
multiple packages or channels may be configured simultaneously. NCSI
hardware arbitration (HWA) must be available in order to enable
multi-package mode. Multi-channel mode is always available.

If the NCSI_ATTR_CHANNEL_ID attribute is present in the
NCSI_CMD_SET_CHANNEL_MASK command the it sets the preferred channel as
with the NCSI_CMD_SET_INTERFACE command. The combination of preferred
channel and channel whitelist defines a primary channel and the allowed
failover channels.
If the NCSI_ATTR_MULTI_FLAG attribute is also present then the preferred
channel is configured for Tx/Rx and the other channels are enabled only
for Rx.

990a9d4975 net/ncsi: prevent a couple array underflows
We recently refactored this code and introduced a static checker
warning.  Smatch complains that if cmd->index is zero then we would
underflow the arrays.  That's obviously true.

The question is whether we prevent cmd->index from being zero at a
different level.  I've looked at the code and I don't immediately see
a check for that.

062b3e1b6d net/ncsi: Refactor MAC, VLAN filters
The NCSI driver defines a generic ncsi_channel_filter struct that can be
used to store arbitrarily formatted filters, and several generic methods
of accessing data stored in such a filter.
However in both the driver and as defined in the NCSI specification
there are only two actual filters: VLAN ID filters and MAC address
filters. The splitting of the MAC filter into unicast, multicast, and
mixed is also technically not necessary as these are stored in the same
location in hardware.

To save complexity, particularly in the set up and accessing of these
generic filters, remove them in favour of two specific structs. These
can be acted on directly and do not need several generic helper
functions to use.

This also fixes a memory error found by KASAN on ARM32 (which is not
upstream yet), where response handlers accessing a filter's data field
could write past allocated memory.

Make use of the ndo_vlan_rx_{add,kill}_vid callbacks to have the NCSI
stack process new VLAN tags and configure the channel VLAN filter
appropriately.
Several VLAN tags can be set and a "Set VLAN Filter" packet must be sent
for each one, meaning the ncsi_dev_state_config_svf state must be
repeated. An internal list of VLAN tags is maintained, and compared
against the current channel's ncsi_channel_filter in order to keep track
within the state. VLAN filters are removed in a similar manner, with the
introduction of the ncsi_dev_state_config_clear_vids state. The maximum
number of VLAN tag filters is determined by the "Get Capabilities"
response from the channel.

83afdc6aad net/ncsi: Rework the channel monitoring
The original NCSI channel monitoring was implemented based on a
backoff algorithm: the GLS response should be received in the
specified interval. Otherwise, the channel is regarded as dead
and failover should be taken if current channel is an active one.
There are several problems in the implementation: (A) On BCM5718,
we found when the IID (Instance ID) in the GLS command packet
changes from 255 to 1, the response corresponding to IID#1 never
comes in. It means we cannot make the unfair judgement that the
channel is dead when one response is missed. (B) The code's
readability should be improved. (C) We should do failover when
current channel is active one and the channel monitoring should
be marked as disabled before doing failover.

This reworks the channel monitoring to address all above issues.
The fields for channel monitoring is put into separate struct
and the state of channel monitoring is predefined. The channel
is regarded alive if the network controller responses to one of
two GLS commands or both of them in 5 seconds.

a0509cbeef net/ncsi: Allow to extend NCSI request properties
There is only one NCSI request property for now: the response for
the sent command need drive the workqueue or not. So we had one
field (@driven) for the purpose. We lost the flexibility to extend
NCSI request properties.

This replaces @driven with @flags and @req_flags in NCSI request
and NCSI command argument struct. Each bit of the newly introduced
field can be used for one property. No functional changes introduced.

7a82ecf4cf net/ncsi: NCSI AEN packet handler
This introduces NCSI AEN packet handlers that result in (A) the
currently active channel is reconfigured; (B) Currently active
channel is deconfigured and disabled, another channel is chosen
as active one and configured. Case (B) won't happen if hardware
arbitration has been enabled, the channel that was in active
state is suspended simply.

e6f44ed6d0 net/ncsi: Package and channel management
This manages NCSI packages and channels:

 * The available packages and channels are enumerated in the first
   time of calling ncsi_start_dev(). The channels' capabilities are
   probed in the meanwhile. The NCSI network topology won't change
   until the NCSI device is destroyed.
 * There in a queue in every NCSI device. The element in the queue,
   channel, is waiting for configuration (bringup) or suspending
   (teardown). The channel's state (inactive/active) indicates the
   futher action (configuration or suspending) will be applied on the
   channel. Another channel's state (invisible) means the requested
   action is being applied.
 * The hardware arbitration will be enabled if all available packages
   and channels support it. All available channels try to provide
   service when hardware arbitration is enabled. Otherwise, one channel
   is selected as the active one at once.
 * When channel is in active state, meaning it's providing service, a
   timer started to retrieve the channe's link status. If the channel's
   link status fails to be updated in the determined period, the channel
   is going to be reconfigured. It's the error handling implementation
   as defined in NCSI spec.

138635cc27 net/ncsi: NCSI response packet handler
The NCSI response packets are sent to MC (Management Controller)
from the remote end. They are responses of NCSI command packets
for multiple purposes: completion status of NCSI command packets,
return NCSI channel's capability or configuration etc.

This defines struct to represent NCSI response packets and introduces
function ncsi_rcv_rsp() which will be used to receive NCSI response
packets and parse them.
