This series addresses a regression in ethtool flow steering where rules
targeting the default RSS context (context 0) were incorrectly rejected.
The default RSS context always exists but is not stored in the rss_ctx
xarray like additional contexts. The current validation logic was
checking for the existence of context 0 in this array, causing valid
flow steering rules to be rejected.
This prevented configurations such as:
- High priority rules directing specific traffic to the default context
- Low priority catch-all rules directing remaining traffic to additional
contexts
Patch 1 fixes the validation logic to skip the existence check for
context 0.
Patch 2 adds a selftest that verifies this behavior.

2.40.1
This patch series introduces a new feature to netconsole which allows
appending a message ID to the userdata dictionary.
If the msgid feature is enabled, the message ID is built from a per-target 32
bit counter that is incremented and appended to every message sent to the target.
Example::
echo 1 > "/sys/kernel/config/netconsole/cmdline0/userdata/msgid_enabled"
echo "This is message #1" > /dev/kmsg
echo "This is message #2" > /dev/kmsg
13,434,54928466,-;This is message #1
msgid=1
13,435,54934019,-;This is message #2
msgid=2
This feature can be used by the target to detect if messages were dropped or
reordered before reaching the target. This allows system administrators to
assess the reliability of their netconsole pipeline and detect loss of messages
due to network contention or temporary unavailability.

Note to maintainer:
This will conflict with a fix I sent recently to net:
c85bf1975108 netconsole: fix appending sysdata when sysdata_fields ==
SYSDATA_RELEASE
Please let me know if I should rebase at some point and send a v2.

Tests may wish to add other interfaces to listen on. Notably locally
generated traffic uses dummy interfaces. The multicast daemon needs to know
about these so that it allows forming rules that involve these interfaces,
and so that net.ipv4.conf.X.mc_forwarding is set for the interfaces.
To that end, allow passing in a list of interfaces to configure in addition
to all the physical ones.

If CONFIG_UPROBES is not set, a merge subtest fails:

CONFIG_UPROBES is enabled by CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS, which gets enabled by
CONFIG_FTRACE. Therefore add this config to selftests/mm/config so that
CI systems can include this config in the kernel build.
