[ Upstream commit 3d3aa9472c6dd0704e9961ed4769caac5b1c8d52 ]

In bnxt_tc_parse_pedit(), the code incorrectly writes IPv6
destination values to the source address field (saddr) when
processing pedit offsets within the destination address range.

This patch corrects the assignment to use daddr instead of saddr,
ensuring that pedit operations on IPv6 destination addresses are
applied correctly.

<title>cnic: Fix use-after-free bugs in cnic_delete_task</title>

[ Upstream commit cfa7d9b1e3a8604afc84e9e51d789c29574fb216 ]

The original code uses cancel_delayed_work() in cnic_cm_stop_bnx2x_hw(),
which does not guarantee that the delayed work item 'delete_task' has
fully completed if it was already running. Additionally, the delayed work
item is cyclic, the flush_workqueue() in cnic_cm_stop_bnx2x_hw() only
blocks and waits for work items that were already queued to the
workqueue prior to its invocation. Any work items submitted after
flush_workqueue() is called are not included in the set of tasks that the
flush operation awaits. This means that after the cyclic work items have
finished executing, a delayed work item may still exist in the workqueue.
This leads to use-after-free scenarios where the cnic_dev is deallocated
by cnic_free_dev(), while delete_task remains active and attempt to
dereference cnic_dev in cnic_delete_task().

A typical race condition is illustrated below:

CPU 0 (cleanup)              | CPU 1 (delayed work callback)
cnic_netdev_event()          |
  cnic_stop_hw()             | cnic_delete_task()
    cnic_cm_stop_bnx2x_hw()  | ...
      cancel_delayed_work()  | /* the queue_delayed_work()
      flush_workqueue()      |    executes after flush_workqueue()*/
                             | queue_delayed_work()
  cnic_free_dev(dev)//free   | cnic_delete_task() //new instance
                             |   dev = cp-&gt;dev; //use

Replace cancel_delayed_work() with cancel_delayed_work_sync() to ensure
that the cyclic delayed work item is properly canceled and that any
ongoing execution of the work item completes before the cnic_dev is
deallocated. Furthermore, since cancel_delayed_work_sync() uses
__flush_work(work, true) to synchronously wait for any currently
executing instance of the work item to finish, the flush_workqueue()
becomes redundant and should be removed.

This bug was identified through static analysis. To reproduce the issue
and validate the fix, I simulated the cnic PCI device in QEMU and
introduced intentional delays — such as inserting calls to ssleep()
within the cnic_delete_task() function — to increase the likelihood
of triggering the bug.

[ Upstream commit b4fc8faacfea2538184a1dbd616ae9447a361f3d ]

The HW resource reservation logic allows the L2 driver to use the
RoCE resources if the RoCE driver is not registered.  When calculating
the stats contexts available for L2, we should not blindly subtract
the stats contexts reserved for RoCE unless the RoCE driver is
registered.  This bug may cause the L2 rings to be less than the
number requested when we are close to running out of stats contexts.

[ Upstream commit 1ee581c24dfdcbc6de25aac95a48c1f08e9a542c ]

Before we accept an ethtool request to increase a resource (such as
rings), we call the FW to check that the requested resource is likely
available first before we commit.  But it is still possible that
the actual reservation or allocation can fail.  The existing code
is missing the logic to adjust the TX rings in case the reserved
TX rings are less than requested.  Add a warning message (a similar
message for RX rings already exists) and add the logic to adjust
the TX rings.  Without this fix, the number of TX rings reported
to the stack can exceed the actual TX rings and ethtool -l will
report more than the actual TX rings.

[ Upstream commit 2747328ba2714f1a7454208dbbc1dc0631990b4a ]

bnxt_set_dflt_rings() assumes that it is always called before any TC has
been created.  So it doesn't take bp-&gt;num_tc into account and assumes
that it is always 0 or 1.

In the FW resource or capability change scenario, the FW will return
flags in bnxt_hwrm_if_change() that will cause the driver to
reinitialize and call bnxt_cancel_reservations().  This will lead to
bnxt_init_dflt_ring_mode() calling bnxt_set_dflt_rings() and bp-&gt;num_tc
may be greater than 1.  This will cause bp-&gt;tx_ring[] to be sized too
small and cause memory corruption in bnxt_alloc_cp_rings().

Fix it by properly scaling the TX rings by bp-&gt;num_tc in the code
paths mentioned above.  Add 2 helper functions to determine
bp-&gt;tx_nr_rings and bp-&gt;tx_nr_rings_per_tc.

[ Upstream commit 4611d88a37cfc18cbabc6978aaf7325d1ae3f53a ]

The commit under the Fixes tag added a netdev_assert_locked() in
bnxt_free_ntp_fltrs().  The lock should be held during normal run-time
but the assert will be triggered (see below) during bnxt_remove_one()
which should not need the lock.  The netdev is already unregistered by
then.  Fix it by calling netdev_assert_locked_or_invisible() which will
not assert if the netdev is unregistered.

[ Upstream commit 4611d88a37cfc18cbabc6978aaf7325d1ae3f53a ]

The commit under the Fixes tag added a netdev_assert_locked() in
bnxt_free_ntp_fltrs().  The lock should be held during normal run-time
but the assert will be triggered (see below) during bnxt_remove_one()
which should not need the lock.  The netdev is already unregistered by
then.  Fix it by calling netdev_assert_locked_or_invisible() which will
not assert if the netdev is unregistered.

<title>eth: bnxt: take page size into account for page pool recycling rings</title>

[ Upstream commit f7dbedba63124256feb9d9fcf36e8a2e43858d1e ]

The Rx rings are filled with Rx buffers. Which are supposed to fit
packet headers (or MTU if HW-GRO is disabled). The aggregation buffers
are filled with "device pages". Adjust the sizes of the page pool
recycling ring appropriately, based on ratio of the size of the
buffer on given ring vs system page size. Otherwise on a system
with 64kB pages we end up with &gt;700MB of memory sitting in every
single page pool cache.

Correct the size calculation for the head_pool. Since the buffers
there are always small I'm pretty sure I meant to cap the size
at 1k, rather than make it the lowest possible size. With 64k pages
1k cache with a 1k ring is 64x larger than we need.

[ Upstream commit 39f8fcda2088382a4aa70b258d6f7225aa386f11 ]

The data page pool always fills the HW rx ring with pages. On arm64 with
64K pages, this will waste _at least_ 32K of memory per entry in the rx
ring.

Fix by fragmenting the pages if PAGE_SIZE &gt; BNXT_RX_PAGE_SIZE. This
makes the data page pool the same as the header pool.

Tested with iperf3 with a small (64 entries) rx ring to encourage buffer
circulation.

[ Upstream commit 64fdaa94bfe0cca3a0f4b2dd922486c5f59fe678 ]

Page pool can have pages "directly" (locklessly) recycled to it,
if the NAPI that owns the page pool is scheduled to run on the same CPU.
To make this safe we check that the NAPI is disabled while we destroy
the page pool. In most cases NAPI and page pool lifetimes are tied
together so this happens naturally.

The queue API expects the following order of calls:
 -&gt; mem_alloc
    alloc new pp
 -&gt; stop
    napi_disable
 -&gt; start
    napi_enable
 -&gt; mem_free
    free old pp

Here we allocate the page pool in -&gt;mem_alloc and free in -&gt;mem_free.
But the NAPIs are only stopped between -&gt;stop and -&gt;start. We created
page_pool_disable_direct_recycling() to safely shut down the recycling
in -&gt;stop. This way the page_pool_destroy() call in -&gt;mem_free doesn't
have to worry about recycling any more.

Unfortunately, the page_pool_disable_direct_recycling() is not enough
to deal with failures which necessitate freeing the _new_ page pool.
If we hit a failure in -&gt;mem_alloc or -&gt;stop the new page pool has
to be freed while the NAPI is active (assuming driver attaches the
page pool to an existing NAPI instance and doesn't reallocate NAPIs).

Freeing the new page pool is technically safe because it hasn't been
used for any packets, yet, so there can be no recycling. But the check
in napi_assert_will_not_race() has no way of knowing that. We could
check if page pool is empty but that'd make the check much less likely
to trigger during development.

Add page_pool_enable_direct_recycling(), pairing with
page_pool_disable_direct_recycling(). It will allow us to create the new
page pools in "disabled" state and only enable recycling when we know
the reconfig operation will not fail.

Coincidentally it will also let us re-enable the recycling for the old
pool, if the reconfig failed:

 -&gt; mem_alloc (new)
 -&gt; stop (old)
    # disables direct recycling for old
 -&gt; start (new)
    # fail!!
 -&gt; start (old)
    # go back to old pp but direct recycling is lost :(
 -&gt; mem_free (new)

The new helper is idempotent to make the life easier for drivers,
which can operate in HDS mode and support zero-copy Rx.
The driver can call the helper twice whether there are two pools
or it has multiple references to a single pool.
