Assume that caller's 'to' offset really represents an upper boundary for
the pattern search, so patterns extending past this offset are to be
rejected.
The old behaviour also was kind of inconsistent when it comes to
fragmentation (or otherwise non-linear skbs): If the pattern started in
between 'to' and 'from' offsets but extended to the next fragment, it
was not found if 'to' offset was still within the current fragment.
Test the new behaviour in a kselftest using iptables' string match.

netfilter next pull request 2023-10-18
This series contains initial netfilter skb drop_reason support, from
myself.
First few patches fix up a few spots to make sure we won't trip
when followup patches embed error numbers in the upper bits
(we already do this in some places).
Then, nftables and bridge netfilter get converted to call kfree_skb_reason
directly to let tooling pinpoint exact location of packet drops,
rather than the existing NF_DROP catchall in nf_hook_slow().
I would like to eventually convert all netfilter modules, but as some
callers cannot deal with NF_STOLEN (notably act_ct), more preparation
work is needed for this.
Last patch gets rid of an ugly 'de-const' cast in nftables.

ethtool: Add link mode maps for forced speeds
The following patch set was initially a part of [1]. As the purpose of the
original series was to add the support of the new hardware to the intel ice
driver, the refactoring of advertised link modes mapping was extracted to a
new set.
The patch set adds a common mechanism for mapping Ethtool forced speeds
with Ethtool supported link modes, which can be used in drivers code.

Changelog:
v4->v5:
Separated ethtool and qede changes into two patches, fixed indentation,
and moved ethtool_forced_speed_maps_init() from ioctl.c to ethtool.h
v3->v4:
Moved the macro for setting fields into the common header file
v2->v3:

The need to map Ethtool forced speeds to Ethtool supported link modes is
common among drivers. To support this, add a common structure for forced
speed maps and a function to init them. This is solution was originally
introduced in commit 1d4e4ecccb ("qede: populate supported link modes
maps on module init") for qede driver.
ethtool_forced_speed_maps_init() should be called during driver init
with an array of struct ethtool_forced_speed_map to populate the mapping.
Definitions for maps themselves are left in the driver code, as the sets
of supported link modes may vary between the devices.

Same as previous change: we need to mask out the non-verdict bits, as
upcoming patches may embed an errno value in NF_STOLEN verdicts too.

This function calls helpers that can return nf-verdicts, but then
those get converted to -1/0 as thats what the caller expects.
Theoretically NF_DROP could have an errno number set in the upper 24
bits of the return value. Or any of those helpers could return
NF_STOLEN, which would result in use-after-free.
This is fine as-is, the called functions don't do this yet.
But its better to avoid possible future problems if the upcoming
patchset to add NF_DROP_REASON() support gains further users, so remove
the 0/-1 translation from the picture and pass the verdicts down to
the caller.

These checks assume that the caller only returns NF_DROP without

This is fine right now, but followup patches will start to propagate

mlx5-updates-2023-10-10
1) Adham Faris, Increase max supported channels number to 256
2) Leon Romanovsky, Allow IPsec soft/hard limits in bytes
3) Shay Drory, Replace global mlx5_intf_lock with
HCA devcom component lock
4) Wei Zhang, Optimize SF creation flow
During SF creation, HCA state gets changed from INVALID to
IN_USE step by step. Accordingly, FW sends vhca event to
driver to inform about this state change asynchronously.
Each vhca event is critical because all related SW/FW
operations are triggered by it.
Currently there is only a single mlx5 general event handler
which not only handles vhca event but many other events.
This incurs huge bottleneck because all events are forced
to be handled in serial manner.
Moreover, all SFs share same table_lock which inevitably
impacts each other when they are created in parallel.
This series will solve this issue by:
1. A dedicated vhca event handler is introduced to eliminate
the mutual impact with other mlx5 events.
2. Max FW threads work queues are employed in the vhca event
handler to fully utilize FW capability.
3. Redesign SF active work logic to completely remove
table_lock.
With above optimization, SF creation time is reduced by 25%,
i.e. from 80s to 60s when creating 100 SFs.
Patches summary:
Patch 1 - implement dedicated vhca event handler with max FW
cmd threads of work queues.
Patch 2 - remove table_lock by redesigning SF active work
logic.

strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.
We expect both hi.data.modename and hi.data.drivername to be
NUL-terminated based on its usage with sprintf:
| sprintf(hi.data.modename, "%sclk,%smodem,fclk=%d,bps=%d%s",
| bc->cfg.intclk ? "int" : "ext",
| bc->cfg.extmodem ? "ext" : "int", bc->cfg.fclk, bc->cfg.bps,
| bc->cfg.loopback ? ",loopback" : "");
Note that this data is copied out to userspace with:
| if (copy_to_user(data, &hi, sizeof(hi)))
... however, the data was also copied FROM the user here:
| if (copy_from_user(&hi, data, sizeof(hi)))
Considering the above, a suitable replacement is strscpy_pad() as it
guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer while also
NUL-padding (which is good+wanted behavior when copying data to
userspace).

net: remove last of the phylink validate methods and clean up
This four patch series removes the last of the phylink MAC .validate
methods which can be found in the Freescale fman driver. fman has a
requirement that half duplex may not be supported in RGMII mode,
which is currently handled in its .validate method.
In order to keep this functionality when removing the .validate method,
we need to replace that with equivalent functionality, for which I
propose the optional .mac_get_caps method in the first patch.
The advantage of this approach over the .validate callback is that MAC
drivers only have to deal with the MAC_* capabilities, and don't need
to call back into phylink functions to do the masking of the ethtool
linkmodes etc - which then becomes internal to phylink. This can be
seen in the fourth patch where we make a load of these methods static.

Recent FW interface update bumped the size of struct hwrm_func_cfg_input
above 128B which is the max some devices support.
Probe on Stratus (BCM957452) with FW 20.8.3.11 fails with:
bnxt_en ...: Unable to reserve tx rings
bnxt_en ...: 2nd rings reservation failed.
bnxt_en ...: Not enough rings available.
Once probe is fixed other errors pop up:
bnxt_en ...: Failed to set async event completion ring.
This is because __hwrm_send() rejects requests larger than
bp->hwrm_max_ext_req_len with -E2BIG. Since the driver doesn't
actually access any of the new fields, yet, trim the length.
It should be safe.
Similar workaround exists for backing_store_cfg_input.
Although that one mins() to a constant of 256, not 128
we'll effectively use here. Michael explains: "the backing
store cfg command is supported by relatively newer firmware
that will accept 256 bytes at least."
To make debugging easier in the future add a warning
for oversized requests.

The previous patch added accounting and a limit for the number of

means to actually configure those bounds or read back the count. This
patch does that.
Two new netlink attributes are added for the accounting and limit of

- IFLA_BR_FDB_N_LEARNED (RO) for the number of entries accounted for
a single bridge.
- IFLA_BR_FDB_MAX_LEARNED (RW) for the configured limit of entries for
the bridge.
The new attributes are used like this:
# ip link add name br up type bridge fdb_max_learned 256

# ip link set up dev v2
# mausezahn -a rand -c 1024 v2

A malicious actor behind one bridge port may spam the kernel with packets
with a random source MAC address, each of which will create an FDB entry,
each of which is a dynamic allocation in the kernel.
There are roughly 2^48 different MAC addresses, further limited by the
rhashtable they are stored in to 2^31. Each entry is of the type struct
net_bridge_fdb_entry, which is currently 128 bytes big. This means the
maximum amount of memory allocated for FDB entries is 2^31 * 128B =
256GiB, which is too much for most computers.
Mitigate this by maintaining a per bridge count of those automatically
generated entries in fdb_n_learned, and a limit in fdb_max_learned. If
the limit is hit new entries are not learned anymore.
For backwards compatibility the default setting of 0 disables the limit.
User-added entries by netlink or from bridge or bridge port addresses
are never blocked and do not count towards that limit.
Introduce a new fdb entry flag BR_FDB_DYNAMIC_LEARNED to keep track of
whether an FDB entry is included in the count. The flag is enabled for
dynamically learned entries, and disabled for all other entries. This
should be equivalent to BR_FDB_ADDED_BY_USER and BR_FDB_LOCAL being unset,
but contrary to the two flags it can be toggled atomically.
Atomicity is required here, as there are multiple callers that modify the
flags, but are not under a common lock (br_fdb_update is the exception
for br->hash_lock, br_fdb_external_learn_add for RTNL).

I3C MCTP net driver
This series adds an I3C transport for the kernel's MCTP network
protocol. MCTP is a communication protocol between system components
(BMCs, drives, NICs etc), with higher level protocols such as NVMe-MI or
PLDM built on top of it (in userspace). It runs over various transports
such as I2C, PCIe, or I3C.
The mctp-i3c driver follows a similar approach to the kernel's existing
mctp-i2c driver, creating a "mctpi3cX" network interface for each
numbered I3C bus. Busses opt in to support by adding a "mctp-controller"
property to the devicetree:
&i3c0 {
mctp-controller;
}
The driver will bind to MCTP class devices (DCR 0xCC) that are on a
supported I3C bus. Each bus is represented by a `struct mctp_i3c_bus`
that keeps state for the network device. An individual I3C device
(struct mctp_i3c_device) performs operations using the "parent"
mctp_i3c_bus object. The I3C notify/enumeration patch is needed so that
the mctp-i3c driver can handle creating/removing mctp_i3c_bus objects as
required.
The mctp-i3c driver is using the Provisioned ID as an identifier for
target I3C devices (the neighbour address), as that will be more stable
than the I3C dynamic address. The driver internally translates that to a
dynamic address for bus operations.
The driver has been tested using an AST2600 platform. A remote endpoint
has been tested against QEMU, as well as using the target mode support
in Aspeed's vendor tree.
