[ Upstream commit fa1a3b7bcd161028e038025c1a4a8963b2f56a95 ]

To prepare for assigning vPorts to dedicated MSI-X vectors, remove EQ
sharing among the vPorts and create dedicated EQs for each vPort.

Move the EQ definition from struct mana_context to struct mana_port_context
and update related support functions. Export mana_create_eq() and
mana_destroy_eq() for use by the MANA RDMA driver.

RSS QPs now take a vport reference via pd-&gt;vport_use_count to ensure
EQs outlive all QP consumers. The vport must already be configured by
a raw QP before an RSS QP can be created. EQs are only destroyed when
the last QP (raw or RSS) on the PD releases its reference.

Restrict each vport to a single RSS QP. The hardware only supports one
steering configuration (indirection table / hash key) per vport, and
mana_disable_vport_rx() on QP destroy disables RX globally for the
vport. Previously, creating a second RSS QP would silently overwrite
the first QP's steering config and destroy would blackhole all traffic.
This is now explicitly rejected with -EBUSY. Existing applications
(DPDK being the primary RDMA consumer) always create one RSS QP per
vport, so no real-world flows are affected.

Reject cross-port PD sharing for both raw and RSS QPs. Since EQs and
vport configuration are per-port, a PD is bound to the port used by
its first raw QP. Subsequent QPs on the same PD must use the same
port or the creation fails with -EINVAL. Previously this was silently
broken: with shared EQs it appeared to work, but with per-vPort EQs
a cross-port PD would cause wrong-port EQ teardown and corruption.
DPDK creates one PD per port so no existing flows are affected.

Serialize mana_set_channels() and the async per-port queue reset
handler against RDMA vport configuration to prevent RDMA from claiming
the vport during the detach/attach window. A channel_changing flag is
set under apc-&gt;vport_mutex before detach and checked by
mana_cfg_vport() when called from the RDMA path, blocking RDMA from
grabbing the vport during the entire window. When the port is down
and RDMA already holds the vport, the channel change is rejected with
-EBUSY.

<title>xsk: reclaim invalid Tx descriptors in ZC batch path</title>

[ Upstream commit 72f2b4516faf55d4dfac2414649d3cffa5fd2c5e ]

The zero-copy Tx batch parser stops when it encounters an invalid
descriptor. If this happens after one or more continuation descriptors,
the Tx consumer can be advanced past fragments that are neither submitted
to the driver nor returned to userspace through the completion ring.

A similar problem occurs when a packet exceeds xdp_zc_max_segs. The
descriptors consumed up to the limit are released without completion, and
the remaining continuation descriptors can subsequently be interpreted
as the beginning of another packet.

Parse Tx batches in packet units and distinguish descriptors belonging to
complete valid packets from descriptors consumed while draining an
invalid or oversized packet. Return the former to the driver and append
the latter to the CQ address area so userspace can reclaim their UMEM
frames.

Treat a standalone invalid descriptor as a one-descriptor reclaim-only
packet. Advancing the Tx-ring consumer releases the ring slot, but does
not by itself return ownership of the referenced UMEM frame to userspace.

Once draining starts, continue until the packet's end-of-packet
descriptor is consumed. Preserve the drain state on the socket when EOP
has not yet been supplied, so draining can continue during a later call.
Leave incomplete but otherwise valid packets on the Tx ring.

Shared-UMEM pools using multi-buffer Tx also need packet-framed parsing.
Walk their Tx sockets one packet at a time, preserving the existing
per-socket fairness scheme, instead of using the legacy one-descriptor
fallback. Keep that fallback for shared pools that do not use
multi-buffer Tx. Since the drain state is maintained per socket and both
the singular and shared paths can resume an interrupted drain, changing
the socket list from singular to shared requires no special bind-time
transition.

CQ entries are positional, and drivers may complete only part of the Tx
work returned by xsk_tx_peek_release_desc_batch(). Therefore, reclaim-only
entries cannot be published immediately when earlier driver-visible
descriptors are still outstanding.

Track the number of driver-visible CQ entries preceding the reclaim
entries. Let xsk_tx_completed() publish partial hardware Tx completions,
and publish the reclaim entries only after every earlier Tx descriptor
has completed. Complete a reclaim-only batch immediately when there is no
driver-visible work in front of it, and prevent another Tx batch from
being appended while reclaim entries remain pending.

Also cap batch processing by the size of the pool's temporary descriptor
array, as Tx rings belonging to sockets sharing a UMEM may have different
sizes.

This ensures that every invalid Tx descriptor consumed by the ZC batch
path is either submitted to the driver as part of a valid packet or
returned to userspace without violating CQ completion ordering.

[ Upstream commit 08c9a8e794b4694c100dafcb80e069e29ad81b64 ]

The temporary Tx descriptor array in an XSK buffer pool is currently
sized from the Tx ring of the socket that creates the pool.

This is insufficient for shared-UMEM Tx. A later socket may have a
larger Tx ring and submit a valid multi-buffer packet containing more
descriptors than the first socket's ring, while still remaining within
the device's xdp_zc_max_segs limit.

A packet-framed batch parser bounded by the temporary array cannot reach
the end-of-packet descriptor in that case. It leaves the packet on the
Tx ring and encounters the same packet on every subsequent attempt,
stalling Tx processing for that socket.

Size the temporary descriptor array to the larger of the first Tx ring
and the device's xdp_zc_max_segs capability. This keeps the array large
enough to inspect one maximum-sized valid packet. Larger shared Tx rings
do not require further resizing, as they can be processed over multiple
batches.

Following commit will actually address the data path side.

[ Upstream commit 342e24a339b90e8e339a0f8c151ca479b8565661 ]

Sashiko warns that ip_vs_nat_icmp() unconditionally mangles the
payload for embedded non-first IPv4 fragments. The problem is
in the very old inverted pp-&gt;dont_defrag check which should not
continue when embedded is a non-first TCP/UDP/SCTP fragment.

Check for embedded non-first fragment is also missing from
ip_vs_out_icmp_v6(), it is needed before any connection
lookups that expect ports after the network headers.

Drop the blocking code from ip_vs_in_icmp_v6() which prevents

[ Upstream commit 342e24a339b90e8e339a0f8c151ca479b8565661 ]

Sashiko warns that ip_vs_nat_icmp() unconditionally mangles the
payload for embedded non-first IPv4 fragments. The problem is
in the very old inverted pp-&gt;dont_defrag check which should not
continue when embedded is a non-first TCP/UDP/SCTP fragment.

Check for embedded non-first fragment is also missing from
ip_vs_out_icmp_v6(), it is needed before any connection
lookups that expect ports after the network headers.

Drop the blocking code from ip_vs_in_icmp_v6() which prevents
ICMPv6 from local clients to use non-MASQ forwarding.

[ Upstream commit 15cab31a3730e05f0767b922a7450e5d784b2607 ]

The offsets we use to packet headers and payloads should be
based on skb-&gt;data. We even already respect non-zero
network offset in ip_vs_fill_iph_skb() but some places
do it wrongly and support only zero offset which is expected
for the IP layer where IPVS has hooks.

Change all places that instead of skb-&gt;data use offsets based
on the network header (skb_network_header, ip_hdr, etc) because
this doubles the network offset as noted by Sashiko.

For ip_vs_nat_icmp_v6() we can even rely on the IPv6 header
parsing done by the caller.

<title>ipvs: fix the checksum validations</title>

[ Upstream commit e876b75b9020a97bbdc79721e7fc749024891c65 ]

ip_vs_in_icmp_v6() is missing checksum validation for ICMPv6
packets from clients. In fact, as for TCP/UDP we should
validate the checksum for ICMP packets only when we
mangle the packets on MASQ or on reply for tunnel.

Also, Sashiko points out that handle_response_icmp() being
common for IPv4 and IPv6 is missing the pseudo-header
calculation while validating ICMPv6 messages from real
servers which is a problem if checksum is not validated
by the hardware.

Fix the problems by creating ip_vs_checksum_common_check()
helper and use it for TCP/UDP/ICMP both for IPv4 and IPv6.
Rely on the nf_checksum() for validating the ICMP messages
but use it also for TCP and UDP.

Use correct IP offset for IP_VS_DBG_RL_PKT for TCP/UDP/SCTP.

IPVS packets (TCP/UDP/SCTP/ICMP) do not need checksum
validation on LOCAL_OUT (local clients or local real
servers) and on FORWARD (traffic from servers on LAN).
Do it only on LOCAL_IN, in case nf_checksum() is not
called on PRE_ROUTING.

Also, ip_vs_checksum_complete() can be marked static.

[ Upstream commit f4f699790590bd0896c48a71e9232a65198f92f0 ]

The nft_object rhltable is global, this allows for accessing objects
that are being dismangled from lookup path by other existing netns.
Given the nft_obj_destroy() releases the object inmediately, this might
lead to use-after-free of these objects that are being released.
Make the existing rhltable per table to address this issue to deal with
with the nft_rcv_nl_event() path too.

Update nft_obj_lookup() to take the table as non-const, otherwise,
compiler complains when passing the objname_ht to rhltable_lookup().

[ Upstream commit 4aa63842fc92de1bce59d4709a0d32e718890bb2 ]

Add a new function to insert a pair of expectations, this is required by
the SIP and H323 NAT helpers. The spinlock is held to check if there is
a slot for both expectations, in such case, insert them.

This removes the need for nf_ct_unexpect_related() inside the loop to
find a pair of consecutive ports, otherwise inserting expectations whose
dead flag is already set on can happen.

Bump master_help-&gt;expecting for the expectation class after checking if
the expectation fits in the master expectation list, which is needed for
this new _pair() function variant to run the eviction routine including
the preallocated slot for the first expectation in the pair.
