[ Upstream commit 864e3396976ef41de6cc7bc366276bf4e084fff2 ]

When performing Generic Segmentation Offload (GSO) on an IPv6 packet that
contains extension headers, the kernel incorrectly requests checksum offload
if the egress device only advertises NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM feature, which has
a strict contract: it supports checksum offload only for plain TCP or UDP
over IPv6 and explicitly does not support packets with extension headers.
The current GSO logic violates this contract by failing to disable the feature
for packets with extension headers, such as those used in GREoIPv6 tunnels.

This violation results in the device being asked to perform an operation
it cannot support, leading to a `skb_warn_bad_offload` warning and a collapse
of network throughput. While device TSO/USO is correctly bypassed in favor
of software GSO for these packets, the GSO stack must be explicitly told not
to request checksum offload.

Mask NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM, NETIF_F_TSO6 and NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4
in gso_features_check if the IPv6 header contains extension headers to compute
checksum in software.

The exception is a BIG TCP extension, which, as stated in commit
68e068cabd2c6c53 ("net: reenable NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM offload for BIG TCP packets"):
"The feature is only enabled on devices that support BIG TCP TSO.
The header is only present for PF_PACKET taps like tcpdump,
and not transmitted by physical devices."

<title>hv_netvsc: fix potential deadlock in netvsc_vf_setxdp()</title>

<content type='text'>
The MANA driver's probe registers netdevice via the following call chain:

mana_probe()
  register_netdev()
    register_netdevice()

register_netdevice() calls notifier callback for netvsc driver,
holding the netdev mutex via netdev_lock_ops().

Further this netvsc notifier callback end up attempting to acquire the
same lock again in dev_xdp_propagate() leading to deadlock.

netvsc_netdev_event()
  netvsc_vf_setxdp()
    dev_xdp_propagate()

This deadlock was not observed so far because net_shaper_ops was never set,
and thus the lock was effectively a no-op in this case. Fix this by using
netif_xdp_propagate() instead of dev_xdp_propagate() to avoid recursive
locking in this path.

And, since no deadlock is observed on the other path which is via
netvsc_probe, add the lock exclusivly for that path.

Also, clean up the unregistration path by removing the unnecessary call to
netvsc_vf_setxdp(), since unregister_netdevice_many_notify() already
performs this cleanup via dev_xdp_uninstall().

In order to avoid passing around struct sockaddr that has a size the
compiler cannot reason about (nor track at runtime), convert
netif_set_mac_address() to take struct sockaddr_storage. This is just a
cast conversion, so there is are no binary changes. Following patches
will make actual allocation changes.

<title>net: add debug checks in ____napi_schedule() and napi_poll()</title>

<content type='text'>
While tracking an IDPF bug, I found that idpf_vport_splitq_napi_poll()
was not following NAPI rules.

It can indeed return @budget after napi_complete() has been called.

Add two debug conditions in networking core to hopefully catch
this kind of bugs sooner.

IDPF bug will be fixed in a separate patch.

While tracking an IDPF bug, I found that idpf_vport_splitq_napi_poll()
was not following NAPI rules.

It can indeed return @budget after napi_complete() has been called.

Add two debug conditions in networking core to hopefully catch
this kind of bugs sooner.

IDPF bug will be fixed in a separate patch.

Instead of calling __skb_checksum() with a skb_checksum_ops struct that
does CRC32C, just call the new function skb_crc32c().  This is faster
and simpler.

Add a hidden kconfig symbol NET_CRC32C that will group together the
functions that calculate CRC32C checksums of packets, so that these
don't have to be built into NET-enabled kernels that don't need them.

Make skb_crc32c_csum_help() (which is called only when IP_SCTP is
enabled) conditional on this symbol, and make IP_SCTP select it.

<id>f792709e0baad67224180d73d51c2f090003adde</id>
<content type='text'>
Cover three recent cases:
1. missing ops locking for the lowers during netdev_sync_lower_features
2. missing locking for dev_set_promiscuity (plus netdev_ops_assert_locked
   with a comment on why/when it's needed)
3. rcu lock during team_change_rx_flags

Verified that each one triggers when the respective fix is reverted.
Not sure about the placement, but since it all relies on teaming,
added to the teaming directory.

One ugly bit is that I add NETIF_F_LRO to netdevsim; there is no way
to trigger netdev_sync_lower_features without it.

Cover three recent cases:
1. missing ops locking for the lowers during netdev_sync_lower_features
2. missing locking for dev_set_promiscuity (plus netdev_ops_assert_locked
   with a comment on why/when it's needed)
3. rcu lock during team_change_rx_flags

Verified that each one triggers when the respective fix is reverted.
