commit 3499e87ea0413ee5b2cc028f4c8ed4d424bc7f98 upstream.

clang inlines the dev_ethtool() more aggressively than gcc does, leading
to a larger amount of used stack space:

net/core/ethtool.c:2536:24: error: stack frame size of 1216 bytes in function 'dev_ethtool' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than=]

Marking the sub-functions that require the most stack space as
noinline_for_stack gives us reasonable behavior on all compilers.

KCSAN reported a data-race [1]

we need to make sure hh-&gt;hh_len is written last.

<title>net, sysctl: Fix compiler warning when only cBPF is present</title>

[ Upstream commit 1148f9adbe71415836a18a36c1b4ece999ab0973 ]

proc_dointvec_minmax_bpf_restricted() has been firstly introduced
in commit 2e4a30983b0f ("bpf: restrict access to core bpf sysctls")
under CONFIG_HAVE_EBPF_JIT. Then, this ifdef has been removed in
ede95a63b5e8 ("bpf: add bpf_jit_limit knob to restrict unpriv
allocations"), because a new sysctl, bpf_jit_limit, made use of it.
Finally, this parameter has become long instead of integer with
fdadd04931c2 ("bpf: fix bpf_jit_limit knob for PAGE_SIZE &gt;= 64K")
and thus, a new proc_dolongvec_minmax_bpf_restricted() has been
added.

With this last change, we got back to that
proc_dointvec_minmax_bpf_restricted() is used only under
CONFIG_HAVE_EBPF_JIT, but the corresponding ifdef has not been
brought back.

So, in configurations like CONFIG_BPF_JIT=y &amp;&amp; CONFIG_HAVE_EBPF_JIT=n
since v4.20 we have:

  CC      net/core/sysctl_net_core.o
net/core/sysctl_net_core.c:292:1: warning: ‘proc_dointvec_minmax_bpf_restricted’ defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
  292 | proc_dointvec_minmax_bpf_restricted(struct ctl_table *table, int write,
      | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Suppress this by guarding it with CONFIG_HAVE_EBPF_JIT again.

<title>inet: protect against too small mtu values.</title>

[ Upstream commit 501a90c945103e8627406763dac418f20f3837b2 ]

syzbot was once again able to crash a host by setting a very small mtu
on loopback device.

Let's make inetdev_valid_mtu() available in include/net/ip.h,
and use it in ip_setup_cork(), so that we protect both ip_append_page()
and __ip_append_data()

Also add a READ_ONCE() when the device mtu is read.

Pairs this lockless read with one WRITE_ONCE() in __dev_set_mtu(),
even if other code paths might write over this field.

Add a big comment in include/linux/netdevice.h about dev-&gt;mtu
needing READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() annotations.

Hopefully we will add the missing ones in followup patches.

[ Upstream commit 501a90c945103e8627406763dac418f20f3837b2 ]

syzbot was once again able to crash a host by setting a very small mtu
on loopback device.

Let's make inetdev_valid_mtu() available in include/net/ip.h,
and use it in ip_setup_cork(), so that we protect both ip_append_page()
and __ip_append_data()

Also add a READ_ONCE() when the device mtu is read.

Pairs this lockless read with one WRITE_ONCE() in __dev_set_mtu(),
even if other code paths might write over this field.

Add a big comment in include/linux/netdevice.h about dev-&gt;mtu
needing READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() annotations.

Hopefully we will add the missing ones in followup patches.

<title>net: dsa: fix flow dissection on Tx path</title>

[ Upstream commit 8bef0af09a5415df761b04fa487a6c34acae74bc ]

Commit 43e665287f93 ("net-next: dsa: fix flow dissection") added an
ability to override protocol and network offset during flow dissection
for DSA-enabled devices (i.e. controllers shipped as switch CPU ports)
in order to fix skb hashing for RPS on Rx path.

However, skb_hash() and added part of code can be invoked not only on
Rx, but also on Tx path if we have a multi-queued device and:
 - kernel is running on UP system or
 - XPS is not configured.

The call stack in this two cases will be like: dev_queue_xmit() -&gt;
__dev_queue_xmit() -&gt; netdev_core_pick_tx() -&gt; netdev_pick_tx() -&gt;
skb_tx_hash() -&gt; skb_get_hash().

The problem is that skbs queued for Tx have both network offset and
correct protocol already set up even after inserting a CPU tag by DSA
tagger, so calling tag_ops-&gt;flow_dissect() on this path actually only
breaks flow dissection and hashing.

This can be observed by adding debug prints just before and right after
tag_ops-&gt;flow_dissect() call to the related block of code:

Before the patch:

Rx path (RPS):

[   19.240001] Rx: proto: 0x00f8, nhoff: 0	/* ETH_P_XDSA */
[   19.244271] tag_ops-&gt;flow_dissect()
[   19.247811] Rx: proto: 0x0800, nhoff: 8	/* ETH_P_IP */

[   19.215435] Rx: proto: 0x00f8, nhoff: 0	/* ETH_P_XDSA */
[   19.219746] tag_ops-&gt;flow_dissect()
[   19.223241] Rx: proto: 0x0806, nhoff: 8	/* ETH_P_ARP */

[   18.654057] Rx: proto: 0x00f8, nhoff: 0	/* ETH_P_XDSA */
[   18.658332] tag_ops-&gt;flow_dissect()
[   18.661826] Rx: proto: 0x8100, nhoff: 8	/* ETH_P_8021Q */

Tx path (UP system):

[   18.759560] Tx: proto: 0x0800, nhoff: 26	/* ETH_P_IP */
[   18.763933] tag_ops-&gt;flow_dissect()
[   18.767485] Tx: proto: 0x920b, nhoff: 34	/* junk */

[   22.800020] Tx: proto: 0x0806, nhoff: 26	/* ETH_P_ARP */
[   22.804392] tag_ops-&gt;flow_dissect()
[   22.807921] Tx: proto: 0x920b, nhoff: 34	/* junk */

[   16.898342] Tx: proto: 0x86dd, nhoff: 26	/* ETH_P_IPV6 */
[   16.902705] tag_ops-&gt;flow_dissect()
[   16.906227] Tx: proto: 0x920b, nhoff: 34	/* junk */

After:

Rx path (RPS):

[   16.520993] Rx: proto: 0x00f8, nhoff: 0	/* ETH_P_XDSA */
[   16.525260] tag_ops-&gt;flow_dissect()
[   16.528808] Rx: proto: 0x0800, nhoff: 8	/* ETH_P_IP */

[   15.484807] Rx: proto: 0x00f8, nhoff: 0	/* ETH_P_XDSA */
[   15.490417] tag_ops-&gt;flow_dissect()
[   15.495223] Rx: proto: 0x0806, nhoff: 8	/* ETH_P_ARP */

[   17.134621] Rx: proto: 0x00f8, nhoff: 0	/* ETH_P_XDSA */
[   17.138895] tag_ops-&gt;flow_dissect()
[   17.142388] Rx: proto: 0x8100, nhoff: 8	/* ETH_P_8021Q */

Tx path (UP system):

[   15.499558] Tx: proto: 0x0800, nhoff: 26	/* ETH_P_IP */

[   20.664689] Tx: proto: 0x0806, nhoff: 26	/* ETH_P_ARP */

[   18.565782] Tx: proto: 0x86dd, nhoff: 26	/* ETH_P_IPV6 */

In order to fix that we can add the check 'proto == htons(ETH_P_XDSA)'
to prevent code from calling tag_ops-&gt;flow_dissect() on Tx.
I also decided to initialize 'offset' variable so tagger callbacks can
now safely leave it untouched without provoking a chaos.

[ Upstream commit 0eb987c874dc93f9c9d85a6465dbde20fdd3884c ]

In net_ns_init(), register_pernet_subsys() could fail while registering
network namespace subsystems. The fix checks the return value and
sends a panic() on failure.

<title>net: do not abort bulk send on BQL status</title>

[ Upstream commit fe60faa5063822f2d555f4f326c7dd72a60929bf ]

Before calling dev_hard_start_xmit(), upper layers tried
to cook optimal skb list based on BQL budget.

Problem is that GSO packets can end up comsuming more than
the BQL budget.

Breaking the loop is not useful, since requeued packets
are ahead of any packets still in the qdisc.

It is also more expensive, since next TX completion will
push these packets later, while skbs are not in cpu caches.

It is also a behavior difference with TSO packets, that can
break the BQL limit by a large amount.

Note that drivers should use __netdev_tx_sent_queue()
in order to have optimal xmit_more support, and avoid
useless atomic operations as shown in the following patch.
