When initializing the network card, unplugging the device will
trigger an -EPROTO error, resulting in a flood of error messages
being printed frantically.
The exception is printed as follows：
mt76x2u 2-2.4:1.0: vendor request req:47 off:9018 failed:-71
mt76x2u 2-2.4:1.0: vendor request req:47 off:9018 failed:-71
...
It will continue to print more than 2000 times for about 5 minutes,
causing the usb device to be unable to be disconnected. During this
period, the usb port cannot recognize the new device because the old
device has not disconnected.
There may be other operating methods that cause -EPROTO, but -EPROTO is
a low-level hardware error. It is unwise to repeat vendor requests
expecting to read correct data. It is a better choice to treat -EPROTO
and -ENODEV the same way.
Similar to commit 9b0f100c19 ("mt76: usb: process URBs with status
EPROTO properly") do no schedule rx_worker for urb marked with status
set -EPROTO. I also reproduced this situation when plugging and
unplugging the device, and this patch is effective.
Just do not vendor request again for urb marked with status set -EPROTO.

commit c4f0755823 ("wifi: mt76: mt7915: fix command timeout in AP stop
period") changes the behavior of mt7915_bss_info_changed() in mesh mode
when enable_beacon becomes false: it calls mt7915_mcu_add_bss_info(...,
false) and mt7915_mcu_add_sta(..., false) while the previous code
didn't. These sends mcu commands that apparently confuse the firmware.
This breaks scanning while in mesh mode on AsiaRF MT7916 DBDC-based cards:
scanning works but no mesh frames get sent afterwards and the firmware
seems to be hosed. It breaks on MT7916 DBDC but not on MT7915 DBDC.

There is a specific error path in probe functions in wilc drivers (both

The issue can easily be reproduced, for example by not wiring correctly
a wilc device through SPI (and so, make it unresponsive to early SPI
commands). It is due to a recent change decoupling wiphy allocation from
wiphy registration, however wilc_netdev_cleanup has not been updated
accordingly, letting it possibly call wiphy unregister on a wiphy which
has never been registered.
Fix this crash by moving wiphy_unregister/wiphy_free out of
wilc_netdev_cleanup, and by adjusting error paths in both drivers

Empty nests are the same size as a flag at the netlink level
(just a 4 byte nlattr without a payload). They are sometimes
useful in case we want to only communicate a presence of
something but may want to add more details later.
This may be the case in the upcoming io_uring ZC patches,
for example.
Improve handling of nested empty structs. We already support
empty structs since a lot of netlink replies are empty, but
for nested ones we need minor tweaks to avoid pointless empty
lines and unused variables.

====================
net: sysctl: avoid using current->nsproxy
As pointed out by Al Viro and Eric Dumazet in [1], using the 'net'
structure via 'current' is not recommended for different reasons:
- Inconsistency: getting info from the reader's/writer's netns vs only
from the opener's netns as it is usually done. This could cause
unexpected issues when other operations are done on the wrong netns.
- current->nsproxy can be NULL in some cases, resulting in an 'Oops'
(null-ptr-deref), e.g. when the current task is exiting, as spotted by
syzbot [1] using acct(2).
The 'net' or 'pernet' structure can be obtained from the table->data
using container_of().
Note that table->data could also be used directly in more places, but
that would increase the size of this fix to replace all accesses via
'net'. Probably best to avoid that for fixes.
Patches 2-9 remove access of net via current->nsproxy in sysfs handlers
in MPTCP, SCTP and RDS. There are multiple patches doing almost the same
thing, but the reason is to ease the backports.
Patch 1 is not directly linked to this, but it is a small fix for MPTCP
available_schedulers sysctl knob to explicitly mark it as read-only.
Please note that this series does not address Al's comment [2]. In SCTP,
some sysctl knobs set other sysfs-exposed variables for the min/max: two
processes could then write two linked values at the same time, resulting
in new values being outside the new boundaries. It would be great if
SCTP developers can look at this problem.

As mentioned in a previous commit of this series, using the 'net'
structure via 'current' is not recommended for different reasons:
- Inconsistency: getting info from the reader's/writer's netns vs only
from the opener's netns.
- current->nsproxy can be NULL in some cases, resulting in an 'Oops'
(null-ptr-deref), e.g. when the current task is exiting, as spotted by
syzbot [1] using acct(2).
The 'net' structure can be obtained from the table->data using
container_of().
Note that table->data could also be used directly, as this is the only
member needed from the 'net' structure, but that would increase the size
of this fix, to use '*data' everywhere 'net->sctp.sctp_hmac_alg' is
used.
