commit 6b3ab7f2cbfaeb6580709cd8ef4d72cfd01bfde4 upstream.

After a recent change [1] in clang's randstruct implementation to
randomize structures that only contain function pointers, there is an
error because qede_ll_ops get randomized but does not use a designated
initializer for the first member:

  drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qede/qede_main.c:206:2: error: a randomized struct can only be initialized with a designated initializer
    206 |         {
        |         ^

Explicitly initialize the common member using a designated initializer
to fix the build.

commit 78ab4be549533432d97ea8989d2f00b508fa68d8 upstream.

A warning on driver removal started occurring after commit 9dd05df8403b
("net: warn if NAPI instance wasn't shut down"). Disable tx napi before
deleting it in mt76_dma_cleanup().

Tested with mt7921e but the same pattern can be actually applied to other
mt76 drivers calling mt76_dma_cleanup() during removal. Tx napi is enabled
in their *_dma_init() functions and only toggled off and on again inside
their suspend/resume/reset paths. So it should be okay to disable tx
napi in such a generic way.

commit 5bbc644bbf4e97a05bc0cb052189004588ff8a09 upstream.

init_page_array() now always creates a single page buffer array entry
for the rndis message, even if the rndis message crosses a page
boundary. As such, the number of page buffer array entries used for
the rndis message must no longer be tracked -- it is always just 1.
Remove the rmsg_pgcnt field and use "1" where the value is needed.

<title>hv_netvsc: Preserve contiguous PFN grouping in the page buffer array</title>

commit 41a6328b2c55276f89ea3812069fd7521e348bbf upstream.

Starting with commit dca5161f9bd0 ("hv_netvsc: Check status in
SEND_RNDIS_PKT completion message") in the 6.3 kernel, the Linux
driver for Hyper-V synthetic networking (netvsc) occasionally reports
"nvsp_rndis_pkt_complete error status: 2".[1] This error indicates
that Hyper-V has rejected a network packet transmit request from the
guest, and the outgoing network packet is dropped. Higher level
network protocols presumably recover and resend the packet so there is
no functional error, but performance is slightly impacted. Commit
dca5161f9bd0 is not the cause of the error -- it only added reporting
of an error that was already happening without any notice. The error
has presumably been present since the netvsc driver was originally
introduced into Linux.

The root cause of the problem is that the netvsc driver in Linux may
send an incorrectly formatted VMBus message to Hyper-V when
transmitting the network packet. The incorrect formatting occurs when
the rndis header of the VMBus message crosses a page boundary due to
how the Linux skb head memory is aligned. In such a case, two PFNs are
required to describe the location of the rndis header, even though
they are contiguous in guest physical address (GPA) space. Hyper-V
requires that two rndis header PFNs be in a single "GPA range" data
struture, but current netvsc code puts each PFN in its own GPA range,
which Hyper-V rejects as an error.

The incorrect formatting occurs only for larger packets that netvsc
must transmit via a VMBus "GPA Direct" message. There's no problem
when netvsc transmits a smaller packet by copying it into a pre-
allocated send buffer slot because the pre-allocated slots don't have
page crossing issues.

After commit 14ad6ed30a10 ("net: allow small head cache usage with
large MAX_SKB_FRAGS values") in the 6.14-rc4 kernel, the error occurs
much more frequently in VMs with 16 or more vCPUs. It may occur every
few seconds, or even more frequently, in an ssh session that outputs a
lot of text. Commit 14ad6ed30a10 subtly changes how skb head memory is
allocated, making it much more likely that the rndis header will cross
a page boundary when the vCPU count is 16 or more. The changes in
commit 14ad6ed30a10 are perfectly valid -- they just had the side
effect of making the netvsc bug more prominent.

Current code in init_page_array() creates a separate page buffer array
entry for each PFN required to identify the data to be transmitted.
Contiguous PFNs get separate entries in the page buffer array, and any
information about contiguity is lost.

Fix the core issue by having init_page_array() construct the page
buffer array to represent contiguous ranges rather than individual
pages. When these ranges are subsequently passed to
netvsc_build_mpb_array(), it can build GPA ranges that contain
multiple PFNs, as required to avoid the error "nvsp_rndis_pkt_complete
error status: 2". If instead the network packet is sent by copying
into a pre-allocated send buffer slot, the copy proceeds using the
contiguous ranges rather than individual pages, but the result of the
copying is the same. Also fix rndis_filter_send_request() to construct
a contiguous range, since it has its own page buffer array.

This change has a side benefit in CoCo VMs in that netvsc_dma_map()
calls dma_map_single() on each contiguous range instead of on each
page. This results in fewer calls to dma_map_single() but on larger
chunks of memory, which should reduce contention on the swiotlb.

Since the page buffer array now contains one entry for each contiguous
range instead of for each individual page, the number of entries in
the array can be reduced, saving 208 bytes of stack space in
netvsc_xmit() when MAX_SKG_FRAGS has the default value of 17.

commit 4f98616b855cb0e3b5917918bb07b44728eb96ea upstream.

netvsc currently uses vmbus_sendpacket_pagebuffer() to send VMBus
messages. This function creates a series of GPA ranges, each of which
contains a single PFN. However, if the rndis header in the VMBus
message crosses a page boundary, the netvsc protocol with the host
requires that both PFNs for the rndis header must be in a single "GPA
range" data structure, which isn't possible with
vmbus_sendpacket_pagebuffer(). As the first step in fixing this, add a
new function netvsc_build_mpb_array() to build a VMBus message with
multiple GPA ranges, each of which may contain multiple PFNs. Use
vmbus_sendpacket_mpb_desc() to send this VMBus message to the host.

There's no functional change since higher levels of netvsc don't
maintain or propagate knowledge of contiguous PFNs. Based on its
input, netvsc_build_mpb_array() still produces a separate GPA range
for each PFN and the behavior is the same as with
vmbus_sendpacket_pagebuffer(). But the groundwork is laid for a
subsequent patch to provide the necessary grouping.

[ Upstream commit b3ca9eef6646576ad506a96d941d87a69f66732a ]

This driver is susceptible to a form of the bug explained in commit
c26a2c2ddc01 ("gianfar: Fix TX timestamping with a stacked DSA driver")
and in Documentation/networking/timestamping.rst section "Other caveats
for MAC drivers", specifically it timestamps any skb which has
SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP, and does not consider if timestamping has been enabled
in adapter-&gt;hwtstamp_config.tx_type.

Evaluate the proper TX timestamping condition only once on the TX
path (in tsnep_xmit_frame_ring()) and store the result in an additional
TX entry flag. Evaluate the new TX entry flag in the TX confirmation path
(in tsnep_tx_poll()).

This way SKBTX_IN_PROGRESS is set by the driver as required, but never
evaluated. SKBTX_IN_PROGRESS shall not be evaluated as it can be set
by a stacked DSA driver and evaluating it would lead to unwanted
timestamps.

<title>tsnep: Inline small fragments within TX descriptor</title>

[ Upstream commit dccce1d7c04051bc25d3abbe7716d0ae7af9c28a ]

The tsnep network controller is able to extend the descriptor directly
with data to be transmitted. In this case no TX data DMA address is
necessary. Instead of the TX data DMA address the TX data buffer is
placed at the end of the descriptor.

The descriptor is read with a 64 bytes DMA read by the tsnep network
controller. If the sum of descriptor data and TX data is less than or
equal to 64 bytes, then no additional DMA read is necessary to read the
TX data. Therefore, it makes sense to inline small fragments up to this
limit within the descriptor ring.

Inlined fragments need to be copied to the descriptor ring. On the other
hand DMA mapping is not necessary. At most 40 bytes are copied, so
copying should be faster than DMA mapping.

For A53 1.2 GHz copying takes &lt;100ns and DMA mapping takes &gt;200ns. So
inlining small fragments should result in lower CPU load. Performance
improvement is small. Thus, comparision of CPU load with and without
inlining of small fragments did not show any significant difference.
With this optimization less DMA reads will be done, which decreases the
load of the interconnect.

<title>mlxsw: spectrum_router: Fix use-after-free when deleting GRE net devices</title>

[ Upstream commit 92ec4855034b2c4d13f117558dc73d20581fa9ff ]

The driver only offloads neighbors that are constructed on top of net
devices registered by it or their uppers (which are all Ethernet). The
device supports GRE encapsulation and decapsulation of forwarded
traffic, but the driver will not offload dummy neighbors constructed on
top of GRE net devices as they are not uppers of its net devices:

 # ip link add name gre1 up type gre tos inherit local 192.0.2.1 remote 198.51.100.1
 # ip neigh add 0.0.0.0 lladdr 0.0.0.0 nud noarp dev gre1
 $ ip neigh show dev gre1 nud noarp
 0.0.0.0 lladdr 0.0.0.0 NOARP

(Note that the neighbor is not marked with 'offload')

When the driver is reloaded and the existing configuration is replayed,
the driver does not perform the same check regarding existing neighbors
and offloads the previously added one:

 # devlink dev reload pci/0000:01:00.0
 $ ip neigh show dev gre1 nud noarp
 0.0.0.0 lladdr 0.0.0.0 offload NOARP

If the neighbor is later deleted, the driver will ignore the
notification (given the GRE net device is not its upper) and will
therefore keep referencing freed memory, resulting in a use-after-free
[1] when the net device is deleted:

 # ip neigh del 0.0.0.0 lladdr 0.0.0.0 dev gre1
 # ip link del dev gre1

Fix by skipping neighbor replay if the net device for which the replay
is performed is not our upper.
