net: af_packet: optimize retire operation
In a system with high real-time requirements, the timeout mechanism of
ordinary timers with jiffies granularity is insufficient to meet the
demands for real-time performance. Meanwhile, the optimization of CPU
usage with af_packet is quite significant. Use hrtimer instead of timer
to help compensate for the shortcomings in real-time performance.
In HZ=100 or HZ=250 system, the update of TP_STATUS_USER is not real-time
enough, with fluctuations reaching over 8ms (on a system with HZ=250).
This is unacceptable in some high real-time systems that require timely
processing of network packets. By replacing it with hrtimer, if a timeout
of 2ms is set, the update of TP_STATUS_USER can be stabilized to within
3 ms.

Delete delete_blk_timer field, because hrtimer_cancel will check and wait
until the timer callback return and ensure never enter callback again.
Simplify the logic related to setting timeout, only update the hrtimer
expire time within the hrtimer callback, no longer update the expire time
in prb_open_block which is called by tpacket_rcv or timer callback.
Reasons why NOT update hrtimer in prb_open_block:
1) It will increase complexity to distinguish the two caller scenario.
2) hrtimer_cancel and hrtimer_start need to be called if you want to update
TMO of an already enqueued hrtimer, leading to complex shutdown logic.
One side effect of NOT update hrtimer when called by tpacket_rcv is that
a newly opened block triggered by tpacket_rcv may be retired earlier than
expected. On the other hand, if timeout is updated in prb_open_block, the
frequent reception of network packets that leads to prb_open_block being
called may cause hrtimer to be removed and enqueued repeatedly.
The retire hrtimer expiration is unconditional and periodic. If there are
numerous packet sockets on the system, please set an appropriate timeout
to avoid frequent enqueueing of hrtimers.

kactive_blk_num (K) is only incremented on block close.
In timer callback prb_retire_rx_blk_timer_expired, except delete_blk_timer
is true, last_kactive_blk_num (L) is set to match kactive_blk_num (K) in
all cases. L is also set to match K in prb_open_block.
The only case K not equal to L is when scheduled by tpacket_rcv
and K is just incremented on block close but no new block could be opened,
so that it does not call prb_open_block in prb_dispatch_next_block.
This patch modifies the prb_retire_rx_blk_timer_expired function by simply
removing the check for L == K. This patch just provides another checkpoint
to thaw the might-be-frozen block in any case. It doesn't have any effect
because __packet_lookup_frame_in_block() has the same logic and does it
again without this patch when detecting the ring is frozen. The patch only
advances checking the status of the ring.

net: ethernet: renesas: rcar_gen4_ptp: Simplify register layout
The daughter driver rcar_gen4_ptp used by both rswitch and rtsn where
upstreamed with support for possible different memory layouts on
different users. With all Gen4 boards upstream no such setup is
documented.
There are other issues related to how the rcar_gen4_ptp driver is shared
between multiple useres that needs to be cleaned up. But that will be a
larger work. So before that get some simple fixes done.
Patch 1/3 and 2/3 removes the support to allow different register
layouts on different SoCs by looking up offsets at runtime with a much
simpler interface. The new interface computes the offsets at compile
time.
While patch 3/3 is a drive-by patch taking a spurs comment and making a
lockdep check of it.
There is no intentional functional change in this series just cleaning
up in preparation of larger works to follow.

When upstreaming the Gen4 PTP support for R-Car S4 the possibility for
different memory layouts on other Gen4 SoCs was build in. It turns out
this is not needed and instead needlessly makes the driver harder to
read, remove the support code that would have allowed different memory
layouts.
This change only deals with the public functions used by other drivers,
follow up work will clean up the rcar_gen4_ptp internals.

When 8139too is probing and 8139TOO_PIO=y it will call pci_iomap_range()
and from there __pci_ioport_map() for the PCI IO space.
If HAS_IOPORT_MAP=n and NO_GENERIC_PCI_IOPORT_MAP=n, like it is on my
m68k config, __pci_ioport_map() becomes NULL, pci_iomap_range() will
always fail and the driver will complain it couldn't map the PIO space
and return an error.
NO_IOPORT_MAP seems to cover the case where what 8139too is trying
to do cannot ever work so make 8139TOO_PIO depend on being it false

When the "icmp_errors_use_inbound_ifaddr" sysctl is enabled, the source
IP of ICMP error messages should be the "primary address of the
interface that received the packet that caused the icmp error".
The IPv4 ICMP code determines this interface using inet_iif() which in
the input path translates to skb->skb_iif. If the interface that
received the packet is a VRF port, skb->skb_iif will contain the ifindex
of the VRF device and not that of the receiving interface. This is
because in the input path the VRF driver overrides skb->skb_iif with the
ifindex of the VRF device itself (see vrf_ip_rcv()).
As such, the source IP that will be chosen for the ICMP error message is
either an address assigned to the VRF device itself (if present) or an
address assigned to some VRF port, not necessarily the input or output
interface.
This behavior is especially problematic when the error messages are
"Time Exceeded" messages as it means that utilities like traceroute will
show an incorrect packet path.
Solve this by determining the input interface based on the iif field in
the control block, if present. This field is set in the input path to
skb->skb_iif and is not later overridden by the VRF driver, unlike
skb->skb_iif.
This behavior is consistent with the IPv6 counterpart that already uses
the iif from the control block.

__icmp_send() is used to generate ICMP error messages in response to
various situations such as MTU errors (i.e., "Fragmentation Required")
and too many hops (i.e., "Time Exceeded").
The skb that generated the error does not necessarily come from the IPv4
layer and does not always have a valid IPv4 control block in skb->cb.
Therefore, commit 9ef6b42ad6 ("net: Add __icmp_send helper.") changed
the function to take the IP options structure as argument instead of
deriving it from the skb's control block. Some callers of this function
such as icmp_send() pass the IP options structure from the skb's control
block as in these call paths the control block is known to be valid, but
other callers simply pass a zeroed structure.
A subsequent patch will need __icmp_send() to access more information
from the IPv4 control block (specifically, the ifindex of the input
interface). As a preparation for this change, change the function to
take the IPv4 control block structure as an argument instead of the IP
options structure. This makes the function similar to its IPv6
counterpart that already takes the IPv6 control block structure as an
argument.
No functional changes intended.

When __ip_options_compile() is called with an skb, the IP options are
parsed from the skb data into the provided IP option argument. This is
in contrast to the case where the skb argument is NULL and the options
are parsed from opt->__data.
Given that cipso_v4_error() always passes an skb to
__ip_options_compile(), there is no need to allocate an extra 40 bytes
(maximum IP options size).
Therefore, simplify the function by removing these extra bytes and make
the function similar to ipv4_send_dest_unreach() which also calls both
__ip_options_compile() and __icmp_send().
This is a preparation for changing the arguments being passed to
__icmp_send().
No functional changes intended.

net: xdp: handle frags with unreadable memory
Make XDP helpers compatible with unreadable memory. This is very
similar to how we handle pfmemalloc frags today. Record the info
in xdp_buf flags as frags get added and then update the skb once
allocated.
This series adds the unreadable memory metadata tracking to drivers
using xdp_build_skb_from*() with no changes on the driver side - hence
the only driver changes here are refactoring. Obviously, unreadable memory
is incompatible with XDP today, but thanks to xdp_build_skb_from_buf()
increasing number of drivers have a unified datapath, whether XDP is
enabled or not.

xdp_update_skb_shared_info() needs to update skb state which
was maintained in xdp_buff / frame. Pass full flags into it,
instead of breaking it out bit by bit. We will need to add
a bit for unreadable frags (even tho XDP doesn't support
those the driver paths may be common), at which point almost
all call sites would become:
xdp_update_skb_shared_info(skb, num_frags,
sinfo->xdp_frags_size,
MY_PAGE_SIZE * num_frags,
xdp_buff_is_frag_pfmemalloc(xdp),
xdp_buff_is_frag_unreadable(xdp));
Keep a helper for accessing the flags, in case we need to
transform them somehow in the future (e.g. to cover up xdp_buff
vs xdp_frame differences).
While we are touching call callers - rename the helper to
xdp_update_skb_frags_info(), previous name may have implied that
it's shinfo that's updated. We are updating flags in struct sk_buff
based on frags that got attched.

hsr_port_get_hsr() iterates over ports using hsr_for_each_port(),
but many of its callers do not hold the required RCU lock.
Switch to hsr_for_each_port_rtnl(), since most callers already hold
the rtnl lock. After review, all callers are covered by either the rtnl
lock or the RCU lock, except hsr_dev_xmit(). Fix this by adding an
RCU read lock there.

hsr_for_each_port is called in many places without holding the RCU read
lock, this may trigger warnings on debug kernels. Most of the callers
are actually hold rtnl lock. So add a new helper hsr_for_each_port_rtnl
to allow callers in suitable contexts to iterate ports safely without
explicit RCU locking.
This patch only fixed the callers that is hold rtnl lock. Other caller
issues will be fixed in later patches.

There are currently no kernel tests that verify setting and getting
options of the team driver.
In the future, options may be added that implicitly change other
options, which will make it useful to have tests like these that show
nothing breaks. There will be a follow up patch to this that adds new
"rx_enabled" and "tx_enabled" options, which will implicitly affect the
"enabled" option value and vice versa.
The tests use teamnl to first set options to specific values and then
gets them to compare to the set values.

After commit 8cc71fc3b8 ("wifi: cfg80211: Fix "no buffer
space available" error in nl80211_get_station() for MLO"),
the per-link data is only included in station dumps, where
the size limit is somewhat less of an issue. However, it's
still an issue, depending on how many links a station has
and how much per-link data there is. Thus, for now, disable
per-link statistics entirely.
A complete fix will need to take this into account, make it
opt-in by userspace, and change the dump format to be able
to split a single station's data across multiple netlink
dump messages, which all together is too much development
for a fix.

Pull vmescape mitigation fixes from Dave Hansen:
"Mitigate vmscape issue with indirect branch predictor flushes.
vmscape is a vulnerability that essentially takes Spectre-v2 and
attacks host userspace from a guest. It particularly affects
hypervisors like QEMU.
Even if a hypervisor may not have any sensitive data like disk
encryption keys, guest-userspace may be able to attack the
guest-kernel using the hypervisor as a confused deputy.
There are many ways to mitigate vmscape using the existing Spectre-v2
defenses like IBRS variants or the IBPB flushes. This series focuses
solely on IBPB because it works universally across vendors and all
vulnerable processors. Further work doing vendor and model-specific
optimizations can build on top of this if needed / wanted.
Do the normal issue mitigation dance:
- Add the CPU bug boilerplate
- Add a list of vulnerable CPUs
- Use IBPB to flush the branch predictors after running guests"

netfilter pull request nf-25-09-10
First patch adds a lockdep annotation for a false-positive splat.
Last patch adds formal reviewer tag for Phil Sutter to MAINTAINERS.
Rest of the patches resolve spurious false negative results during set
lookups while another CPU is processing a transaction.
This has been broken at least since v4.18 when an unconditional
synchronize_rcu call was removed from the commit phase of nf_tables.
Quoting from Stefan Hanreichs original report:
It seems like we've found an issue with atomicity when reloading
nftables rulesets. Sometimes there is a small window where rules
containing sets do not seem to apply to incoming traffic, due to the set
apparently being empty for a short amount of time when flushing / adding
elements.
Exanple ruleset:
table ip filter {
set match {
type ipv4_addr
flags interval
elements = { 0.0.0.0-192.168.2.19, 192.168.2.21-255.255.255.255 }
}
chain pre {
type filter hook prerouting priority filter; policy accept;
ip saddr @match accept
counter comment "must never match"
}
}
Reproducer transaction:
while true:
nft -f -<<EOF
flush set ip filter match
create element ip filter match { \
0.0.0.0-192.168.2.19, 192.168.2.21-255.255.255.255 }
EOF
done
Then create traffic. to/from e.g. 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.3.10.
Once in a while the counter will increment even though the
'ip saddr @match' rule should have accepted the packet.
See individual patches for details.
Thanks to Stefan Hanreich for an initial description and reproducer for
this bug and to Pablo Neira Ayuso for reviewing earlier iterations of
the patchset.
