[ Upstream commit 4b5a28b38c4a0106c64416a1b2042405166b26ce ]

Add dedicated helper for finding devices by hardware address when
holding rtnl_lock, similar to existing dev_getbyhwaddr_rcu(). This prevents
PROVE_LOCKING warnings when rtnl_lock is held but RCU read lock is not.

Extract common address comparison logic into dev_addr_cmp().

[ Upstream commit 482ad2a4ace2740ca0ff1cbc8f3c7f862f3ab507 ]

dev-&gt;nd_net can change, readers should either
use rcu_read_lock() or RTNL.

We currently use a generic helper, dev_net() with
no debugging support. We probably have many hidden bugs.

Add dev_net_rcu() helper for callers using rcu_read_lock()
protection.

[ Upstream commit 95fc45d1dea8e1253f8ec58abc5befb71553d666 ]

syzbot found a lockdep issue [1].

We should remove ax25 RTNL dependency in ax25_setsockopt()

This should also fix a variety of possible UAF in ax25.

In a similar fashion to ndo_fdb_add, which was covered in the previous
patch, add the bool *notified argument to ndo_fdb_del. Callees that send a
notification on their own set the flag to true.

<content type='text'>
Currently when FDB entries are added to or deleted from a VXLAN netdevice,
the VXLAN driver emits one notification, including the VXLAN-specific
attributes. The core however always sends a notification as well, a generic
one. Thus two notifications are unnecessarily sent for these operations. A
similar situation comes up with bridge driver, which also emits
notifications on its own:

 # ip link add name vx type vxlan id 1000 dstport 4789
 # bridge monitor fdb &amp;
 [1] 1981693
 # bridge fdb add de:ad:be:ef:13:37 dev vx self dst 192.0.2.1
 de:ad:be:ef:13:37 dev vx dst 192.0.2.1 self permanent
 de:ad:be:ef:13:37 dev vx self permanent

In order to prevent this duplicity, add a paremeter to ndo_fdb_add,
bool *notified. The flag is primed to false, and if the callee sends a
notification on its own, it sets it to true, thus informing the core that
it should not generate another notification.

<content type='text'>
Add a per-NAPI IRQ suspension parameter, which can be get/set with
netdev-genl.

This patch doesn't change any behavior but prepares the code for other
changes in the following commits which use irq_suspend_timeout as a
timeout for IRQ suspension.

====================
wireless-next patches for v6.13

The first -next "new features" pull request for v6.13. This is a big
one as we have not been able to send one earlier. We have also some
patches affecting other subsystems: in staging we deleted the rtl8192e
driver and in debugfs added a new interface to save struct
file_operations memory; both were acked by GregKH.

Because of the lib80211/libipw move there were quite a lot of
conflicts and to solve those we decided to merge net-next into
wireless-next.

Major changes:

cfg80211/mac80211
 * stop exporting wext symbols
 * new mac80211 op to indicate that a new interface is to be added
 * support radio separation of multi-band devices

Wireless Extensions
 * move wext spy implementation to libiw
 * remove iw_public_data from struct net_device

brcmfmac
 * optional LPO clock support

ipw2x00
 * move remaining lib80211 code into libiw

wilc1000
 * WILC3000 support

rtw89
 * RTL8852BE and RTL8852BE-VT BT-coexistence improvements

* tag 'wireless-next-2024-10-25' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wireless/wireless-next: (126 commits)
  mac80211: Remove NOP call to ieee80211_hw_config
