commit 761fb8ec8778f0caf2bba5a41e3cff1ea86974f3 upstream.

This attempt to fix regressions caused by reusing ident which apparently
is not handled well on certain stacks causing the stack to not respond to
requests, so instead of simple returning the first unallocated id this
stores the last used tx_ident and then attempt to use the next until all
available ids are exausted and then cycle starting over to 1.

commit c9e78afa688afec528784b79bb02d513cdcd6527 upstream.

While configuring a vxlan tunnel in a system with a i40e NIC driver, I
observe the following deadlock:

<title>jiffies: Cast to unsigned long in secs_to_jiffies() conversion</title>

commit bb2784d9ab49587ba4fbff37a319fff2924db289 upstream.

While converting users of msecs_to_jiffies(), lkp reported that some range
checks would always be true because of the mismatch between the implied int
value of secs_to_jiffies() vs the unsigned long return value of the
msecs_to_jiffies() calls it was replacing.

Fix this by casting the secs_to_jiffies() input value to unsigned long.

<title>rtnetlink: Make per-netns RTNL dereference helpers to macro.</title>

commit 9cb7e40d388d6c0e4677809c6b2950bc67fd8830 upstream.

When CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL is off, rtnl_net_dereference() is the
static inline wrapper of rtnl_dereference() returning a plain (void *)
pointer to make sure net is always evaluated as requested in [0].

But, it makes sparse complain [1] when the pointer has __rcu annotation:

  net/ipv4/devinet.c:674:47: sparse: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces)
  net/ipv4/devinet.c:674:47: sparse:    expected void *p
  net/ipv4/devinet.c:674:47: sparse:    got struct in_ifaddr [noderef] __rcu *

Also, if we evaluate net as (void *) in a macro, then the compiler
in turn fails to build due to -Werror=unused-value.

  #define rtnl_net_dereference(net, p)                  \
        ({                                              \
                (void *)net;                            \
                rtnl_dereference(p);                    \
        })

        |                     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let's go back to the original simplest macro.

Note that checkpatch complains about this approach, but it's one-shot and
less noisy than the other two.

Let's go back to the original simplest macro.

Note that checkpatch complains about this approach, but it's one-shot and
less noisy than the other two.

commit f88a31308db6a856229150039b0f56d59696ed31 upstream.

Eliminate all kernel-doc warnings in seqlock.h:

- correct the macro to have "()" immediately following the macro name
- don't include the macro parameters in the short description (first line)
- make the parameter names in the comments match the actual macro
  parameter names.
- use "::" for the Example

<title>bpf: Reject BPF_MAP_TYPE_INODE_STORAGE creation if BPF LSM is uninitialized</title>

<content type='text'>
commit a6f0643e4f63cfaa0d5d4a69de4f132eac4b8fe4 upstream.

When CONFIG_BPF_LSM=y is set, BPF inode storage maps
(BPF_MAP_TYPE_INODE_STORAGE) are compiled into the kernel. However,
if the BPF LSM is not explicitly enabled at boot time (e.g. omitted
from the "lsm=" boot parameter), lsm_prepare() is never executed for
the BPF LSM.

Consequently, the BPF inode security blob offset
(bpf_lsm_blob_sizes.lbs_inode) is never initialized and remains at
its default compiled size of 8 bytes instead of being updated to a
valid offset past the reserved struct rcu_head (typically 16 bytes
or more).

When a privileged user creates and updates a BPF_MAP_TYPE_INODE_STORAGE
map, bpf_inode() evaluates inode-&gt;i_security + 8. This erroneously
aliases the struct rcu_head.func callback pointer at the beginning
of the inode-&gt;i_security blob. During subsequent map element cleanup
or inode destruction, writing NULL to owner_storage clears the queued
RCU callback pointer. When rcu_do_batch() later executes the queued
callback, it attempts an instruction fetch at address 0x0, triggering
an immediate kernel panic.

Fix this by introducing a global bpf_lsm_initialized boolean flag
marked with __ro_after_init. Set this flag to true inside bpf_lsm_init()
when the LSM framework successfully registers the BPF LSM. Gate map
allocation in inode_storage_map_alloc() on this flag, returning
-EOPNOTSUPP if the BPF LSM is in turn uninitialized.

This fail-fast approach prevents userspace from allocating inode
storage maps when the supporting BPF LSM infrastructure is absent,
avoiding zombie map states.

commit 7b5f5865fb11e60edd03c5e063e2d228b7062317 upstream.

Since the @GFP parameter in kmalloc_obj() etc. is now optional, change
the kernel-doc to indicate that it is optional. This avoids kernel-doc
warnings:

<title>default_gfp(): avoid using the "newfangled" __VA_OPT__ trick</title>

commit 551d44200152cb26f75d2ef990aeb6185b7e37fd upstream.

The default_gfp() helper that I added is not wrong, but it turns out
that it causes unnecessary headaches for 'sparse' which doesn't support
the use of __VA_OPT__ (introduced in C++20 and C23, and supported by gcc
and clang for a long time).

We do already use __VA_OPT__ in some other cases in the kernel (drm/xe
and btrfs), but it has been fairly limited.  Now it triggers for pretty
much everything, and sparse ends up not working at all.

We can use the traditional gcc ',##__VA_ARGS__' syntax instead: it may
not be the "C standard" way and is slightly less natural in this
context, but it is the traditional model for this and avoids the sparse
problem.

commit e19e1b480ac73c3e62ffebbca1174f0f511f43e7 upstream.

Most simple allocations use GFP_KERNEL, and with the new allocation
helpers being introduced, let's just take advantage of that to simplify
that default case.

It's a numbers game:

    git grep 'alloc_obj(' |
	sed 's/.*\(GFP_[_A-Z]*\).*/\1/' |
	sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail

shows that about 90% of all those new allocator instances just use that
standard GFP_KERNEL.

Those helpers are already macros, and we can easily just make it be the
default case when the gfp argument is missing.

And yes, we could do that for all the legacy interfaces too, but let's
keep it to just the new ones at least for now, since those all got
converted recently anyway, so this is not any "extra" noise outside of
that limited conversion.

And, in fact, I want to do this before doing the -rc1 release, exactly
so that we don't get extra merge conflicts.
