[ Upstream commit 059217c18be6757b95bfd77ba53fb50b48b8a816 ]

This commit fixes quick-ack counting so that it only considers that a
quick-ack has been provided if we are sending an ACK that newly
acknowledges data.

The code was erroneously using the number of data segments in outgoing
skbs when deciding how many quick-ack credits to remove. This logic
does not make sense, and could cause poor performance in
request-response workloads, like RPC traffic, where requests or
responses can be multi-segment skbs.

When a TCP connection decides to send N quick-acks, that is to
accelerate the cwnd growth of the congestion control module
controlling the remote endpoint of the TCP connection. That quick-ack
decision is purely about the incoming data and outgoing ACKs. It has
nothing to do with the outgoing data or the size of outgoing data.

And in particular, an ACK only serves the intended purpose of allowing
the remote congestion control to grow the congestion window quickly if
the ACK is ACKing or SACKing new data.

The fix is simple: only count packets as serving the goal of the
quickack mechanism if they are ACKing/SACKing new data. We can tell
whether this is the case by checking inet_csk_ack_scheduled(), since
we schedule an ACK exactly when we are ACKing/SACKing new data.

[ Upstream commit 6c1c5097781f563b70a81683ea6fdac21637573b ]

Long standing KCSAN issues are caused by data-race around
some dev-&gt;stats changes.

Most performance critical paths already use per-cpu
variables, or per-queue ones.

It is reasonable (and more correct) to use atomic operations
for the slow paths.

This patch adds an union for each field of net_device_stats,
so that we can convert paths that are not yet protected
by a spinlock or a mutex.

netdev_stats_to_stats64() no longer has an #if BITS_PER_LONG==64

Note that the memcpy() we were using on 64bit arches
had no provision to avoid load-tearing,
while atomic_long_read() is providing the needed protection
at no cost.

[ Upstream commit a171fbec88a2c730b108c7147ac5e7b2f5a02b47 ]

LWTUNNEL_XMIT_CONTINUE is implicitly assumed in ip(6)_finish_output2,
such that any positive return value from a xmit hook could cause
unexpected continue behavior, despite that related skb may have been
freed. This could be error-prone for future xmit hook ops. One of the
possible errors is to return statuses of dst_output directly.

To make the code safer, redefine LWTUNNEL_XMIT_CONTINUE value to
distinguish from dst_output statuses and check the continue
condition explicitly.

<title>bonding: fix macvlan over alb bond support</title>

[ Upstream commit e74216b8def3803e98ae536de78733e9d7f3b109 ]

The commit 14af9963ba1e ("bonding: Support macvlans on top of tlb/rlb mode
bonds") aims to enable the use of macvlans on top of rlb bond mode. However,
the current rlb bond mode only handles ARP packets to update remote neighbor
entries. This causes an issue when a macvlan is on top of the bond, and
remote devices send packets to the macvlan using the bond's MAC address
as the destination. After delivering the packets to the macvlan, the macvlan
will rejects them as the MAC address is incorrect. Consequently, this commit
makes macvlan over bond non-functional.

To address this problem, one potential solution is to check for the presence
of a macvlan port on the bond device using netif_is_macvlan_port(bond-&gt;dev)
and return NULL in the rlb_arp_xmit() function. However, this approach
doesn't fully resolve the situation when a VLAN exists between the bond and
macvlan.

So let's just do a partial revert for commit 14af9963ba1e in rlb_arp_xmit().
As the comment said, Don't modify or load balance ARPs that do not originate
locally.

[ Upstream commit 2d0c88e84e483982067a82073f6125490ddf3614 ]

The status of global socket memory pressure is updated when:

  a) __sk_mem_raise_allocated():

	enter: sk_memory_allocated(sk) &gt;  sysctl_mem[1]
	leave: sk_memory_allocated(sk) &lt;= sysctl_mem[0]

  b) __sk_mem_reduce_allocated():

	leave: sk_under_memory_pressure(sk) &amp;&amp;
		sk_memory_allocated(sk) &lt; sysctl_mem[0]

So the conditions of leaving global pressure are inconstant, which
may lead to the situation that one pressured net-memcg prevents the
global pressure from being cleared when there is indeed no global
pressure, thus the global constrains are still in effect unexpectedly
on the other sockets.

This patch fixes this by ignoring the net-memcg's pressure when
deciding whether should leave global memory pressure.

This patch fixes this by ignoring the net-memcg's pressure when
deciding whether should leave global memory pressure.

commit 1689f25924ada8fe14a4a82c38925d04994c7142 upstream.

Overflow use refcount checks are not complete.

Add helper function to deal with object reference counter tracking.
Report -EMFILE in case UINT_MAX is reached.

nft_use_dec() splats in case that reference counter underflows,
which should not ever happen.

Add nft_use_inc_restore() and nft_use_dec_restore() which are used
to restore reference counter from error and abort paths.

Use u32 in nft_flowtable and nft_object since helper functions cannot
work on bitfields.

Remove the few early incomplete checks now that the helper functions
are in place and used to check for refcount overflow.

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: bogus EBUSY when deleting flowtable after flush</title>

commit 9b05b6e11d5e93a3a517cadc12b9836e0470c255 upstream.

The deletion of a flowtable after a flush in the same transaction
results in EBUSY. This patch adds an activation and deactivation of
flowtables in order to update the _use_ counter.
