<title>net: macsec: indicate next pn update when offloading</title>

Indicate next PN update using update_pn flag in macsec_context.
Offloaded MACsec implementations does not know whether or not the
MACSEC_SA_ATTR_PN attribute was passed for an SA update and assume
that next PN should always updated, but this is not always true.

The PN can be reset to its initial value using the following command:
$ ip macsec set macsec0 tx sa 0 off #octeontx2-pf case

Or, the update PN command will succeed even if the driver does not support
PN updates.
$ ip macsec set macsec0 tx sa 0 pn 1 on #mscc phy driver case

Comparing the initial PN with the new PN value is not a solution. When
the user updates the PN using its initial value the command will
succeed, even if the driver does not support it. Like this:
$ ip macsec add macsec0 tx sa 0 pn 1 on key 00 \
ead3664f508eb06c40ac7104cdae4ce5
$ ip macsec set macsec0 tx sa 0 pn 1 on #mlx5 case

This reverts commit ab046a5d4be4c90a3952a0eae75617b49c0cb01b.

It was trying to work around an issue at the crypto layer by excluding
ASYNC implementations of gcm(aes), because a bug in the AESNI version
caused reordering when some requests bypassed the cryptd queue while
older requests were still pending on the queue.

This was fixed by commit 38b2f68b4264 ("crypto: aesni - Fix cryptd
reordering problem on gcm"), which pre-dates ab046a5d4be4.

Herbert Xu confirmed that all ASYNC implementations are expected to
maintain the ordering of completions wrt requests, so we can use them
in MACsec.

On my test machine, this restores the performance of a single netperf
instance, from 1.4Gbps to 4.4Gbps.

====================
mlx5 MACsec RoCEv2 support

From Patrisious:

This series extends previously added MACsec offload support
to cover RoCE traffic either.

In order to achieve that, we need configure MACsec with offload between
the two endpoints, like below:

REMOTE_MAC=10:70:fd:43:71:c0

* ip addr add 1.1.1.1/16 dev eth2
* ip link set dev eth2 up
* ip link add link eth2 macsec0 type macsec encrypt on
* ip macsec offload macsec0 mac
* ip macsec add macsec0 tx sa 0 pn 1 on key 00 dffafc8d7b9a43d5b9a3dfbbf6a30c16
* ip macsec add macsec0 rx port 1 address $REMOTE_MAC
* ip macsec add macsec0 rx port 1 address $REMOTE_MAC sa 0 pn 1 on key 01 ead3664f508eb06c40ac7104cdae4ce5
* ip addr add 10.1.0.1/16 dev macsec0
* ip link set dev macsec0 up

And in a similar manner on the other machine, while noting the keys order
would be reversed and the MAC address of the other machine.

RDMA traffic is separated through relevant GID entries and in case
of IP ambiguity issue - meaning we have a physical GIDs and a MACsec
GIDs with the same IP/GID, we disable our physical GID in order
to force the user to only use the MACsec GID.

v0: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230813064703.574082-1-leon@kernel.org/

* 'mlx5-next' of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mellanox/linux:
  RDMA/mlx5: Handles RoCE MACsec steering rules addition and deletion
  net/mlx5: Add RoCE MACsec steering infrastructure in core

Given a macsec net_device add two functions to return the real net_device
for that device, and check if that macsec device is offloaded or not.

This is needed for auxiliary drivers that implement MACsec offload, but
have flows which are triggered over the macsec net_device, this allows
the drivers in such cases to verify if the device is offloaded or not,
and to access the real device of that macsec device, which would
belong to the driver, and would be needed for the offload procedure.

<content type='text'>
Inside macsec_add_dev() we free percpu macsec-&gt;secy.tx_sc.stats and
macsec-&gt;stats on some of the memory allocation failure paths. However, the
net_device is already registered to that moment: in macsec_newlink(), just
before calling macsec_add_dev(). This means that during unregister process
its priv_destructor - macsec_free_netdev() - will be called and will free
the stats again.

Remove freeing percpu stats inside macsec_add_dev() because
macsec_free_netdev() will correctly free the already allocated ones. The
pointers to unallocated stats stay NULL, and free_percpu() treats that
correctly.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

<pre>
Inside macsec_add_dev() we free percpu macsec-&gt;secy.tx_sc.stats and
macsec-&gt;stats on some of the memory allocation failure paths. However, the
net_device is already registered to that moment: in macsec_newlink(), just
before calling macsec_add_dev(). This means that during unregister process
its priv_destructor - macsec_free_netdev() - will be called and will free
the stats again.

Remove freeing percpu stats inside macsec_add_dev() because
macsec_free_netdev() will correctly free the already allocated ones. The
pointers to unallocated stats stay NULL, and free_percpu() treats that
correctly.

Offloading device drivers will mark offloaded MACsec SKBs with the
corresponding SCI in the skb_metadata_dst so the macsec rx handler will
know to which interface to divert those skbs, in case of a marked skb
and a mismatch on the dst MAC address, divert the skb to the macsec
net_device where the macsec rx_handler will be called to consider cases
where relying solely on the dst MAC address is insufficient.

One such instance is when using MACsec with a VLAN as an inner
header, where the packet structure is ETHERNET | SECTAG | VLAN.
In such a scenario, the dst MAC address in the ethernet header
will correspond to the VLAN MAC address, resulting in a mismatch.
