OK, thanks!
Are you looking into new warnings that kbuild system reported

I looked into this for a bit, and it seems to be due to the SET 
extension not supporting the x6-style options (I don't know the proper 
name for it).

 From the iptables source:

$ grep -c x6 extensions/libxt_MARK.c
9

$ grep -c x6 extensions/libxt_SET.c
0

I got lost in gdb for a while and didn't come up with an easy answer. 
The options in are in the struct, just not where tc is looking.

(gdb) print *m->extra_opts
$3 = {name = 0x7ffff6f1dad8 "add-set", has_arg = 1, flag = 0x0, val = 49}

(gdb) print *(m->extra_opts+4)
$7 = {name = 0x7ffff6f1db03 "map-set", has_arg = 1, flag = 0x0, val = 53}


I don't know if the problem is in iptables or in tc. Somebody familiar 
with the code and its history could probably answer it easily, but I'm 
not at all familiar with it. Sorry. Hopefully somebody else will jump in 
and help you out.

Can you please clarify which patch(es) you have tried?

This is the base patch which adds the infrastructure to request
specific MSI IRQ vectors:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=150631274108016&w=2

This is the ath9k MSI patch which makes use of that:
https://github.com/endlessm/linux/commit/739c7a924db8f4434a9617657

If you were already able to use ath9k MSI interrupts without specific
consideration for which MSI vector numbers were used, these are the
possible explanations that spring to mind:

1. You got lucky and it picked a vector number that is 4-aligned. You
can check this in the "lspci -vvv" output. You'll see something like:
Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/4 Maskable+ 64bit+
        Address: 00000000fee0300c  Data: 4142
The lower number is the vector number. In my example here 0x42 (66) is
not 4-aligned so the failure condition will be hit.

2. You are using interrupt remapping, which I suspect may provide a
high likelihood of MSI interrupt vectors being 4-aligned. See if
/proc/interrupts shows the IRQ type as IR-PCI-MSI
Unfortunately interrupt remapping is not available here,
https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/iommu/2017-August/023717.html

3. My assumption that all ath9k hardware corrupts the MSI vector
number could wrong. However we've seen this on different wifi modules
in laptops produced by different OEMs and ODMs, so it seems to be a
somewhat widespread problem at least.

4. My assumption that ath9k hardware is corrupting the MSI vector
number could be wrong; maybe another component is to blame, could it
be a BIOS issue? Admittedly I don't really know how I can debug the
layers inbetween seeing the MSI Message Data value disagree with the
vector number being handled inside do_IRQ().

* [PATCH net-next 0/3] bridge: neigh msg proxy and flood suppression support
From: Roopa Prabhu @ 2017-10-02  4:36 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: davem; +Cc: netdev, nikolay, stephen, bridge

From: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com>

This series implements arp and nd suppression in the bridge
driver for ethernet vpns. It implements rfc7432, section 10
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7432#section-10
for ethernet VPN deployments. It is similar to the existing
BR_ARP_PROXY flag but has a few semantic differences to conform
to EVPN standard. In case of EVPN, it is mainly used to avoid flooding to
tunnel ports like vxlan/mpls. Unlike the existing flags it suppresses flood
of all neigh discovery packets (arp, nd) to tunnel ports.

This patch adds a new bridge port flag BR_NEIGH_SUPPRESS to

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7432#section-10

* [PATCH net-next 2/3] bridge: suppress arp pkts on BR_NEIGH_SUPPRESS ports
From: Roopa Prabhu @ 2017-10-02  4:36 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: davem; +Cc: netdev, nikolay, stephen, bridge
In-Reply-To: <1506919018-27875-1-git-send-email-roopa@cumulusnetworks.com>

From: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com>

This patch avoids flooding and proxies arp packets
for BR_NEIGH_SUPPRESS ports.

Moves existing br_do_proxy_arp to br_do_proxy_suppress_arp
to support both proxy arp and neigh suppress.

* [PATCH net-next 3/3] bridge: suppress nd pkts on BR_NEIGH_SUPPRESS ports
From: Roopa Prabhu @ 2017-10-02  4:36 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: davem; +Cc: netdev, nikolay, stephen, bridge
In-Reply-To: <1506919018-27875-1-git-send-email-roopa@cumulusnetworks.com>

From: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com>

This patch avoids flooding and proxies ndisc packets
for BR_NEIGH_SUPPRESS ports.

I appreciate abstraction as much as anybody, but I do not believe
that such abstractions would actually be an improvement here.

* Splice-initing seems more like an idiom than an abstraction;
  at first blush, it wouldn't be clear to me what the intention
  is.

* Such abstractions are fairly unnecessary.

    * The function as written is already so short as to be
      easily digested.

    * More to the point, this function is not some generic,
      higher-level algorithm that just happens to employ the
      socket buffer interface; rather, it is a function that
      implements part of that very interface, and may thus
      twiddle the intimate bits of these data structures
      without being accused of abusing a leaky abstraction.

* Such abstractions add overhead, if only conceptually. In this
  case, a temporary socket buffer queue allocates *3* unnecessary
  struct members, including a whole `spinlock_t' member:
  
    prev
    qlen
    lock

  It's possible that the compiler will be smart enough to leave
  those out, but I have my suspicions that it won't, not only
  given that the interface contract requires that the temporary
  socket buffer queue be properly initialized before use, but
  also because splicing into the temporary will manipulate its
  `qlen'. Yet, why worry whether optimization happens? The whole
  issue can simply be avoided by exploiting the intimate details
  that are already philosophically available to us.

  Similarly, the function `skb_queue_walk_safe' is nice, but it
  loses value both because a temporary queue loses value (as just
  described), and because it ignores the fact that legitimate
  access to the internals of these data structures allows for
  setting up the requested loop in advance; that is to say, the
  two parts of the function that we are now debating can be woven
  together more tightly than `skb_queue_walk_safe' allows.

For these reasons, I stand by the way that the patch currently
implements this function; it does exactly what is desired, no more
or less.

Sincerely,
Michael Witten

"kfree_rcu()" at least?

If the deal is that you don't need to do and RCU free because
netdevice objects disappear synchronously, and you can therefore prove
that no RCU based async access can occur to dev->ifalias, then you

Thanks for working on this. I've yet to look at the patches, but I
thought I'll mention a few issues we bumped into with LAG devices:

1) It is possible for users to stack devices on top of the LAG and only
then enslave your port. This means that the underlying driver might not
be aware of all the necessary configuration. It's quite a complicated
problem to solve properly, so we currently forbid enslavements to
devices that already have uppers.

There's also an issue with IP addresses and routes configured on top of
the LAG, but I hope to fix that soon. I don't think you support L3 in
DSA yet, so it shouldn't be a problem for you.

2) Similarly, you're no longer guaranteed to have the bridge do proper
clean up in case you pull a port out of a bridged LAG, so you'll need to
handle that. Any context you store for the bridge port needs to be
destroyed upon the removal of the last port from the LAG.

At least in mlxsw case, enslaving switch and non-switch ports to the
same LAG doesn't make sense. Any traffic routed by the switch will only
be load-balanced between the switch ports. One way to solve that is to
forbid such enslavements during NETDEV_PRECHANGEUPPER in case the lower
devices in the adjacency list of the LAG don't belong to the same
switch.

Note that such configurations are bound to fail anyway, as the
non-switch ports will not have `switchdev_ops` configured and thus fail
during __switchdev_port_obj_add() / __switchdev_port_attr_set().

FWIW, the same check exists in mlxsw, but maybe other devices support
more methods, so I think it makes sense to have the driver decide this.
