[ Upstream commit aa5406950726e336c5c9585b09799a734b6e77bf ]

syzbot reports that some netdev devices do not have a six bytes
address [1]

Replace ETH_ALEN by dev-&gt;addr_len.

<title>rtnetlink: extend RTEXT_FILTER_SKIP_STATS to IFLA_VF_INFO</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit fa0e21fa44438a0e856d42224bfa24641d37b979 ]

This filter already exists for excluding IPv6 SNMP stats. Extend its
definition to also exclude IFLA_VF_INFO stats in RTM_GETLINK.

This patch constitutes a partial fix for a netlink attribute nesting
overflow bug in IFLA_VFINFO_LIST. By excluding the stats when the
requester doesn't need them, the truncation of the VF list is avoided.

While it was technically only the stats added in commit c5a9f6f0ab40
("net/core: Add drop counters to VF statistics") breaking the camel's
back, the appreciable size of the stats data should never have been
included without due consideration for the maximum number of VFs
supported by PCI.

  # ip -d link show dummy1

<id>b0ad3c179059089d809b477a1d445c1183a7b8fe</id>
<content type='text'>
validate_linkmsg() was introduced by commit 1840bb13c22f5b ("[RTNL]:
Validate hardware and broadcast address attribute for RTM_NEWLINK")
to validate tb[IFLA_ADDRESS/BROADCAST] for existing links. The same
check should also be done for newly created links.

This patch adds validate_linkmsg() call in rtnl_create_link(), to
avoid the invalid address set when creating some devices like:

  # ip link add dummy0 type dummy
  # ip link add link dummy0 name mac0 address 01:02 type macsec

Add a new bridge port attribute that allows user space to enable
per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression. Example:

 # bridge -d -j -p link show dev swp1 | jq '.[]["neigh_vlan_suppress"]'
 false
 # bridge link set dev swp1 neigh_vlan_suppress on
 # bridge -d -j -p link show dev swp1 | jq '.[]["neigh_vlan_suppress"]'

<title>rtnetlink: Restore RTM_NEW/DELLINK notification behavior</title>

<id>59d3efd27c11c59b32291e5ebc307bed2edb65ee</id>
<content type='text'>
The commits referenced below allows userspace to use the NLM_F_ECHO flag
for RTM_NEW/DELLINK operations to receive unicast notifications for the
affected link. Prior to these changes, applications may have relied on
multicast notifications to learn the same information without specifying
the NLM_F_ECHO flag.

For such applications, the mentioned commits changed the behavior for
requests not using NLM_F_ECHO. Multicast notifications are still received,
but now use the portid of the requester and the sequence number of the
request instead of zero values used previously. For the application, this
message may be unexpected and likely handled as a response to the
NLM_F_ACKed request, especially if it uses the same socket to handle
requests and notifications.

To fix existing applications relying on the old notification behavior,
set the portid and sequence number in the notification only if the
request included the NLM_F_ECHO flag. This restores the old behavior
for applications not using it, but allows unicasted notifications for
others.

<title>net: dst: Switch to rcuref_t reference counting</title>

<content type='text'>
Under high contention dst_entry::__refcnt becomes a significant bottleneck.

atomic_inc_not_zero() is implemented with a cmpxchg() loop, which goes into
high retry rates on contention.

Switch the reference count to rcuref_t which results in a significant
performance gain. Rename the reference count member to __rcuref to reflect
the change.

The gain depends on the micro-architecture and the number of concurrent
operations and has been measured in the range of +25% to +130% with a
localhost memtier/memcached benchmark which amplifies the problem
massively.

Running the memtier/memcached benchmark over a real (1Gb) network
connection the conversion on top of the false sharing fix for struct
dst_entry::__refcnt results in a total gain in the 2%-5% range over the
upstream baseline.

<title>rtnetlink: bridge: mcast: Relax group address validation in common code</title>

<content type='text'>
In the upcoming VXLAN MDB implementation, the 0.0.0.0 and :: MDB entries
will act as catchall entries for unregistered IP multicast traffic in a
similar fashion to the 00:00:00:00:00:00 VXLAN FDB entry that is used to
transmit BUM traffic.

In deployments where inter-subnet multicast forwarding is used, not all
the VTEPs in a tenant domain are members in all the broadcast domains.
It is therefore advantageous to transmit BULL (broadcast, unknown
unicast and link-local multicast) and unregistered IP multicast traffic
on different tunnels. If the same tunnel was used, a VTEP only
interested in IP multicast traffic would also pull all the BULL traffic
and drop it as it is not a member in the originating broadcast domain
[1].

Prepare for this change by allowing the 0.0.0.0 group address in the
common rtnetlink MDB code and forbid it in the bridge driver. A similar
change is not needed for IPv6 because the common code only validates
that the group address is not the all-nodes address.
