[ Upstream commit 8d63bee643f1fb53e472f0e135cae4eb99d62d19 ]

skb_warn_bad_offload triggers a warning when an skb enters the GSO
stack at __skb_gso_segment that does not have CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
checksum offload set.

Commit b2504a5dbef3 ("net: reduce skb_warn_bad_offload() noise")
observed that SKB_GSO_DODGY producers can trigger the check and
that passing those packets through the GSO handlers will fix it
up. But, the software UFO handler will set ip_summed to
CHECKSUM_NONE.

When __skb_gso_segment is called from the receive path, this
triggers the warning again.

Make UFO set CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY instead of CHECKSUM_NONE. On
Tx these two are equivalent. On Rx, this better matches the
skb state (checksum computed), as CHECKSUM_NONE here means no
checksum computed.

[ Upstream commit 9af9959e142c274f4a30fefb71d97d2b028b337f ]

commit 9256645af098 ("net/core: relax BUILD_BUG_ON in
netdev_stats_to_stats64") made an attempt to read beyond
the size of the source a possibility.

Fix to only copy src size to dest. As dest might be bigger than src.

<title>net: handle NAPI_GRO_FREE_STOLEN_HEAD case also in napi_frags_finish()</title>

Recently I started seeing warnings about pages with refcount -1. The
problem was traced to packets being reused after their head was merged into
a GRO packet by skb_gro_receive(). While bisecting the issue pointed to
commit c21b48cc1bbf ("net: adjust skb-&gt;truesize in ___pskb_trim()") and
I have never seen it on a kernel with it reverted, I believe the real
problem appeared earlier when the option to merge head frag in GRO was
implemented.

Handling NAPI_GRO_FREE_STOLEN_HEAD state was only added to GRO_MERGED_FREE
branch of napi_skb_finish() so that if the driver uses napi_gro_frags()
and head is merged (which in my case happens after the skb_condense()
call added by the commit mentioned above), the skb is reused including the
head that has been merged. As a result, we release the page reference
twice and eventually end up with negative page refcount.

To fix the problem, handle NAPI_GRO_FREE_STOLEN_HEAD in napi_frags_finish()
the same way it's done in napi_skb_finish().

Similar to the fix provided by Dominik Heidler in commit
9b3dc0a17d73 ("l2tp: cast l2tp traffic counter to unsigned")
we need to take care of 32bit kernels in dev_get_stats().

When using atomic_long_read(), we add a 'long' to u64 and
might misinterpret high order bit, unless we cast to unsigned.

Since commit 217f69743681 ("net: busy-poll: allow preemption in

local_bh_enable() has been invoked.
I don't understand why we need this because local_bh_enable() will
invoke do_softirq() once the softirq counter reached zero and we have
softirq-related work pending.

IPI's from the victim cpu are not handled in dev_cpu_callback.
So these pending IPI's would be sent to the remote cpu only when
NET_RX is scheduled on the victim cpu and since this trigger is
unpredictable it would result in packet latencies on the remote cpu.

This patch add support to send the pending ipi's of victim cpu.

<title>net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.</title>

Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using
netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_init().  However, the release of these resources
can occur in one of two different places.

Either netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_uninit() or netdev-&gt;destructor().

The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon
whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it
is safe to perform the freeing.

netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the
NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast
address lists are flushed.

netdev-&gt;destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the
netdev references all go away.

Further complicating the situation is that netdev-&gt;destructor()
almost universally does also a free_netdev().

This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice().
Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing
of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice()
fails.

If netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside
of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops-&gt;ndo_uninit().  But
it is not able to invoke netdev-&gt;destructor().

This is because netdev-&gt;destructor() will do a free_netdev() and
then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same.

However, this means that the resources that would normally be released
by netdev-&gt;destructor() will not be.

Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by
invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice()
fails.

Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks.

Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what
private things need to be freed up by netdev-&gt;destructor() and whether
the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev().

netdev-&gt;priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private
resources that used to be freed by netdev-&gt;destructor(), except for
free_netdev().

netdev-&gt;needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether
free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice().

Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after
ndo_ops-&gt;ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops-&gt;ndo_uninit()
and netdev-&gt;priv_destructor().

And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke
netdev-&gt;priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev().

<title>xdp: refine xdp api with regards to generic xdp</title>

<id>d67b9cd28c1d7f82c2e5e727731ea7c89b23a0a8</id>
<content type='text'>
While working on the iproute2 generic XDP frontend, I noticed that
as of right now it's possible to have native *and* generic XDP
programs loaded both at the same time for the case when a driver
supports native XDP.

The intended model for generic XDP from b5cdae3291f7 ("net: Generic
XDP") is, however, that only one out of the two can be present at
once which is also indicated as such in the XDP netlink dump part.
The main rationale for generic XDP is to ease accessibility (in
case a driver does not yet have XDP support) and to generically
provide a semantical model as an example for driver developers
wanting to add XDP support. The generic XDP option for an XDP
aware driver can still be useful for comparing and testing both
implementations.

However, it is not intended to have a second XDP processing stage
or layer with exactly the same functionality of the first native
stage. Only reason could be to have a partial fallback for future
XDP features that are not supported yet in the native implementation
and we probably also shouldn't strive for such fallback and instead
encourage native feature support in the first place. Given there's
currently no such fallback issue or use case, lets not go there yet
if we don't need to.

Therefore, change semantics for loading XDP and bail out if the
user tries to load a generic XDP program when a native one is
present and vice versa. Another alternative to bailing out would
be to handle the transition from one flavor to another gracefully,
but that would require to bring the device down, exchange both
types of programs, and bring it up again in order to avoid a tiny
window where a packet could hit both hooks. Given this complicates
the logic for just a debugging feature in the native case, I went
with the simpler variant.

For the dump, remove IFLA_XDP_FLAGS that was added with b5cdae3291f7
and reuse IFLA_XDP_ATTACHED for indicating the mode. Dumping all
or just a subset of flags that were used for loading the XDP prog
is suboptimal in the long run since not all flags are useful for
dumping and if we start to reuse the same flag definitions for
load and dump, then we'll waste bit space. What we really just
want is to dump the mode for now.

Current IFLA_XDP_ATTACHED semantics are: nothing was installed (0),
a program is running at the native driver layer (1). Thus, add a
mode that says that a program is running at generic XDP layer (2).
Applications will handle this fine in that older binaries will
just indicate that something is attached at XDP layer, effectively
this is similar to IFLA_XDP_FLAGS attr that we would have had
modulo the redundancy.
