phy: micrel: add Signal Quality Indicator (SQI) support for KSZ9477 switch PHYs
Add support for the Signal Quality Indicator (SQI) feature on KSZ9477
family switches, providing a relative measure of receive signal quality.
The hardware exposes separate SQI readings per channel. For 1000BASE-T,
all four channels are read. For 100BASE-TX, only one channel is reported,
but which receive pair is active depends on Auto MDI-X negotiation, which
is not exposed by the hardware. Therefore, it is not possible to reliably
map the measured channel to a specific wire pair.
This resolves an earlier discussion about how to handle multi-channel
SQI. Originally, the plan was to expose all channels individually.
However, since pair mapping is sometimes unavailable, this
implementation treats SQI as a per-link metric instead. This fallback
avoids ambiguity and ensures consistent behavior. The existing get_sqi()
UAPI was designed for single-pair Ethernet (SPE), where per-pair and
per-link are effectively equivalent. Restricting its use to per-link
metrics does not introduce regressions for existing users.
The raw 7-bit SQI value (0–127, lower is better) is converted to the
standard 0–7 (high is better) scale. Empirical testing showed that the
link becomes unstable around a raw value of 8.
The SQI raw value remains zero if no data is received, even if noise is
present. This confirms that the measurement reflects the "quality" during
active data reception rather than the passive line state. User space
must ensure that traffic is present on the link to obtain valid SQI
readings.

neighbor: Add NTF_EXT_VALIDATED flag for externally validated entries
tl;dr
=====
Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid") that can be used to indicate to
the kernel that a neighbor entry was learned and determined to be valid
externally. The kernel will not try to remove or invalidate such an
entry, leaving these decisions to the user space control plane. This is
needed for EVPN multi-homing where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed
host needs to be synced across all the VTEPs among which the host is
multi-homed.
Background
==========
In a typical EVPN multi-homing setup each host is multi-homed using a
set of links called ES (Ethernet Segment, i.e., LAG) to multiple leaf
switches (VTEPs). VTEPs that are connected to the same ES are called ES
peers.
When a neighbor entry is learned on a VTEP, it is distributed to both ES
peers and remote VTEPs using EVPN MAC/IP advertisement routes. ES peers
use the neighbor entry when routing traffic towards the multi-homed host
and remote VTEPs use it for ARP/NS suppression.
Motivation
==========
If the ES link between a host and the VTEP on which the neighbor entry
was locally learned goes down, the EVPN MAC/IP advertisement route will
be withdrawn and the neighbor entries will be removed from both ES peers
and remote VTEPs. Routing towards the multi-homed host and ARP/NS
suppression can fail until another ES peer locally learns the neighbor
entry and distributes it via an EVPN MAC/IP advertisement route.
"draft-rbickhart-evpn-ip-mac-proxy-adv-03" [1] suggests avoiding these
intermittent failures by having the ES peers install the neighbor
entries as before, but also injecting EVPN MAC/IP advertisement routes
with a proxy indication. When the previously mentioned ES link goes down
and the original EVPN MAC/IP advertisement route is withdrawn, the ES
peers will not withdraw their neighbor entries, but instead start aging
timers for the proxy indication.
If an ES peer locally learns the neighbor entry (i.e., it becomes
"reachable"), it will restart its aging timer for the entry and emit an
EVPN MAC/IP advertisement route without a proxy indication. An ES peer
will stop its aging timer for the proxy indication if it observes the
removal of the proxy indication from at least one of the ES peers
advertising the entry.
In the event that the aging timer for the proxy indication expired, an
ES peer will withdraw its EVPN MAC/IP advertisement route. If the timer
expired on all ES peers and they all withdrew their proxy
advertisements, the neighbor entry will be completely removed from the
EVPN fabric.
Implementation
==============
In the above scheme, when the control plane (e.g., FRR) advertises a
neighbor entry with a proxy indication, it expects the corresponding
entry in the data plane (i.e., the kernel) to remain valid and not be
removed due to garbage collection or loss of carrier. The control plane
also expects the kernel to notify it if the entry was learned locally
(i.e., became "reachable") so that it will remove the proxy indication
from the EVPN MAC/IP advertisement route. That is why these entries
cannot be programmed with dummy states such as "permanent" or "noarp".
Instead, add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid") which indicates that
the entry was learned and determined to be valid externally and should
not be removed or invalidated by the kernel. The kernel can probe the
entry and notify user space when it becomes "reachable" (it is initially
installed as "stale"). However, if the kernel does not receive a
confirmation, have it return the entry to the "stale" state instead of
the "failed" state.
In other words, an entry marked with the "extern_valid" flag behaves
like any other dynamically learned entry other than the fact that the
kernel cannot remove or invalidate it.
One can argue that the "extern_valid" flag should not prevent garbage
collection and that instead a neighbor entry should be programmed with
both the "extern_valid" and "extern_learn" flags. There are two reasons
for not doing that:
1. Unclear why a control plane would like to program an entry that the
kernel cannot invalidate but can completely remove.
2. The "extern_learn" flag is used by FRR for neighbor entries learned
on remote VTEPs (for ARP/NS suppression) whereas here we are
concerned with local entries. This distinction is currently irrelevant
for the kernel, but might be relevant in the future.
Given that the flag only makes sense when the neighbor has a valid
state, reject attempts to add a neighbor with an invalid state and with
this flag set. For example:
# ip neigh add 192.0.2.1 nud none dev br0.10 extern_valid
Error: Cannot create externally validated neighbor with an invalid state.
# ip neigh add 192.0.2.1 lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55 nud stale dev br0.10 extern_valid
# ip neigh replace 192.0.2.1 nud failed dev br0.10 extern_valid
Error: Cannot mark neighbor as externally validated with an invalid state.
The above means that a neighbor cannot be created with the
"extern_valid" flag and flags such as "use" or "managed" as they result
in a neighbor being created with an invalid state ("none") and
immediately getting probed:
# ip neigh add 192.0.2.1 lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55 nud stale dev br0.10 extern_valid use

However, these flags can be used together with "extern_valid" after the

using unicast probes. This can be changed using the "mcast_resolicit"

net: ethtool: consistently take rss_lock for all rxfh ops
I'd like to bring RXFH and RXFHINDIR ioctls under a single set of
Netlink ops. It appears that while core takes the ethtool->rss_lock
around some of the RXFHINDIR ops, drivers (sfc) take it internally
for the RXFH.
Consistently take the lock around all ops and accesses to the XArray
within the core. This should hopefully make the rss_lock a lot less
confusing.

The device may support the Reference SYNC feature, which allows the
combination of two inputs into a input pair. In this configuration,
clock signals from both inputs are used to synchronize the DPLL device.
The higher frequency signal is utilized for the loop bandwidth of the DPLL,
while the lower frequency signal is used to syntonize the output signal of
the DPLL device. This feature enables the provision of a high-quality loop
bandwidth signal from an external source.
A capable input provides a list of inputs that can be bound with to create
Reference SYNC. To control this feature, the user must request a
desired state for a target pin: use ``DPLL_PIN_STATE_CONNECTED`` to
enable or ``DPLL_PIN_STATE_DISCONNECTED`` to disable the feature. An input
pin can be bound to only one other pin at any given time.
Add new netlink attribute to allow user space configuration of reference
sync pin pairs, where both pins are used to provide one clock signal
consisting of both: base frequency and sync signal.

Correct the size calculation for the head_pool. Since the buffers

What is a bit odd with KS8995 is that it uses an extra MII-P5
port to access one of the PHYs separately, on the side of the
switch fabric, such as when using a WAN port separately from
a LAN switch in a home router.

- read at 0x0 report 0x7500 on every address

That reduces the code size by 48 lines and also the binary text size is
