[PATCH net-next 0/2] net: dsa: user: minor cleanups

[Kai Kuang]

Small, self-contained cleanups in the DSA user port code, found with
checkpatch.pl --strict and targeted at net-next:

Patch 1: use the kernel types (u32/u8/u64) in the ethtool_ops method
implementations, matching the prototypes in include/linux/ethtool.h
instead of the uint32_t/uint8_t/uint64_t typedefs.

Patch 2: document the plain wmb() in the LAG DSA conduit migration
path, which orders the dp->cpu_dp stores before lag_dev->dsa_ptr is
published to the concurrent RX path readers.

Both patches have no functional change.

[PATCH net-next 1/2] net: dsa: user: use kernel types in ethtool callbacks

[Kai Kuang]

Use u32/u8/u64 in the ->get_strings() and ->get_ethtool_stats()
callbacks to match the ethtool_ops method prototypes.

No functional change.

net-next is closed at the moment:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/maintainer-netdev.html

The patch itself looks O.K, please repost when net-next re-opens.

[PATCH net-next 0/2] net: dsa: user: minor cleanups

[Kai Kuang]

Two small, self-contained cleanups in the DSA user port code, targeted
at net-next:

Patch 1: use u32/u8/u64 in the ->get_strings() and
->get_ethtool_stats() implementations to match the ethtool_ops method
prototypes in include/linux/ethtool.h.

Patch 2: document the plain wmb() in the LAG DSA conduit migration
path. The barrier orders the dp->cpu_dp stores before the new
lag_dev->dsa_ptr is published to the concurrent RX path readers.

Neither patch changes behavior. Reposting now that net-next has
re-opened, as previously requested during the merge window; the patches
are unchanged.

[PATCH net-next 2/2] net: dsa: user: document the write memory barrier on LAG conduit migration

[Kai Kuang]

The wmb() orders the dp->cpu_dp stores before the new lag_dev->dsa_ptr
is published to the concurrent RX path readers. Document this, since a
plain barrier without a comment is hard to interpret.
