[ Upstream commit 36a05d2820077bb3955acb8111e1041d39148037 ]

On the packet reception path, the ID of the MAC Port on which the packet
was received, is embedded in the RX DMA Descriptor's metadata. The ID is
extracted using the helper function cppi5_desc_get_tags_ids() which fills
in the 16-bit Source Tag into the 'port_id' variable. However, it is only
the lower 8-bits of the 16-bit Source Tag that represent the MAC Port ID,
while the upper 8-bits are Hardware-Reserved and carry an arbitrary value.
With the existing logic, sporadic kernel crash is observed due to the
subsequent driver code accessing out-of-bound memory because of an invalid
port_id.

Hence, fix the port_id extraction logic to use only the lower 8-bits of the
Source Tag as the MAC Port ID.

[ Upstream commit cef51860becd9700217c81732ca1eb1ea6ed6fe1 ]

macvlan devices inherit hard_header_len from lowerdev during macvlan_init(),
but leave needed_headroom and needed_tailroom set to 0.

When the underlying lowerdev requires extra headroom or tailroom for
headers/trailers (e.g. macsec, ipsec, wireguard, tunnels, or veth with rx
headroom), upper layers calculating packet headroom and tailroom fail to
reserve sufficient space.

This can result in reallocation overhead, skb headroom underflows, or KASAN
slab-use-after-free crashes when dev_hard_header() / macvlan_hard_header()
prepends header data or when lower devices append tailroom.

Fix this by:
1. Inheriting needed_headroom and needed_tailroom from lowerdev in macvlan_init().
2. Propagating needed_headroom and needed_tailroom updates to attached macvlans
   in macvlan_device_event() when receiving NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE events.

[ Upstream commit bef9004c5b91debfceaea2841855a4ebe81ff2b3 ]

Testing CANFD on RZ/G3E shows that many registers do not reset to their
initial values with the current flow of deasserting resets first and then
enabling clocks.

Based on the HW manual, clocks should be supplied first and the
resets deasserted afterward.

 section 7.4.3 Procedure for Activating Modules: RZ/G2L
 section 4.4.9.3 Procedure for Starting up Units: RZ/G3E

So, update the order of the initializing flow for resets and clocks
to match the hardware manual, resetting all CANFD registers to their
initial values. Also update rcar_canfd_global_deinit() to assert
resets before disabling clocks, so the teardown path mirrors the new
init ordering.

[ Upstream commit b9553558b48db54ac9273e6b98d7263ef5c1a329 ]

In vxlan_xmit(), arp_reduce(), and vxlan_mdb_entry_skb_get(), pskb_may_pull() was
being called to verify the availability of network layer headers (ARP, IPv6/ND,
IP/IPv6 MDB keys).

However, during transmit skb-&gt;data points to the MAC header, so skb_network_offset(skb)
is ETH_HLEN (14 bytes). Using pskb_may_pull(skb, len) only checks len bytes from skb-&gt;data
rather than skb_network_offset(skb) + len, which can leave part of the network header
in non-linear frags.

Replace these remaining pskb_may_pull() calls with pskb_network_may_pull() to properly
account for the MAC header offset.

[ Upstream commit be226352e8dc77d3313c096b2d8e7f69bf6980fc ]

VXLAN uses the TSTATS infrastructure (dev_sw_netstats_*()) for RX and
TX packet counters. It also uses the device core stats
(dev_core_stats_*()) for RX and TX drops.

Let's consolidate that using the DSTATS infrastructure, which can
handle both packet counters and packet drops. Statistics that don't
fit DSTATS are still updated atomically with DEV_STATS_INC().

While there, convert the "len" variable of vxlan_encap_bypass() to
unsigned int, to respect the types of skb-&gt;len and
dev_dstats_[rt]x_add().

[ Upstream commit 18eabadd73ae60023ab05e376246bd725fb0c113 ]

Currently vrf is the only module that uses NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_DSTATS.
In order to make this kind of statistics available to other modules,
we need to define the update functions in netdevice.h.

Therefore, let's define dev_dstats_*() functions for RX and TX packet
updates (packets, bytes and drops). Use these new functions in vrf.c
instead of vrf_rx_stats() and the other manual counter updates.

While there, update the type of the "len" variables to "unsigned int",
so that there're aligned with both skb-&gt;len and the new dstats update
functions.

<title>net: core,vrf: Change pcpu_dstat fields to u64_stats_t</title>

[ Upstream commit fa59dc2f6fc616fde3941f62ccd4adcaa21ccd47 ]

The pcpu_sw_netstats and pcpu_lstats structs both contain a set of
u64_stats_t fields for individual stats, but pcpu_dstats uses u64s
instead.

Make this consistent by using u64_stats_t across all stats types.

The per-cpu dstats are only used by the vrf driver at present, so update
that driver as part of this change.

[ Upstream commit e28c5efc31397af17bc5a7d55b963f59bcde0166 ]

With commit 34d21de99cea9 ("net: Move {l,t,d}stats allocation to core and
convert veth &amp; vrf"), stats allocation could be done on net core
instead of in this driver.

With this new approach, the driver doesn't have to bother with error
handling (allocation failure checking, making sure free happens in the
right spot, etc). This is core responsibility now.

Remove the allocation in the vxlan driver and leverage the network
core allocation instead.

[ Upstream commit fb096882095e5a8d6b5159e43793d4a38a0c5b1f ]

When a virtual function sends an IRQ map command, the PF will set up
interrupts according to that request. However, because these interrupts are
never reset, the next time Virtual Function initializes, the interrupts are
still enabled for a given VF, which leads to performance degradation in
certain cases due to interrupts being unexpectedly enabled and thus causing
interrupt floods.
