[ Upstream commit 9bb5fbea59f36a589ef886292549ca4052fe676c ]

When I cat 'tx_timeout' by sysfs, it displays as follows. It's better to
add a newline for easy reading.

[ Upstream commit fb7861d14c8d7edac65b2fcb6e8031cb138457b2 ]

In the current code, -&gt;ndo_start_xmit() can be executed recursively only
10 times because of stack memory.
But, in the case of the vxlan, 10 recursion limit value results in
a stack overflow.
In the current code, the nested interface is limited by 8 depth.
There is no critical reason that the recursion limitation value should
be 10.
So, it would be good to be the same value with the limitation value of
nesting interface depth.

Test commands:
    ip link add vxlan10 type vxlan vni 10 dstport 4789 srcport 4789 4789
    ip link set vxlan10 up
    ip a a 192.168.10.1/24 dev vxlan10
    ip n a 192.168.10.2 dev vxlan10 lladdr fc:22:33:44:55:66 nud permanent

    for i in {9..0}
    do
        let A=$i+1
	ip link add vxlan$i type vxlan vni $i dstport 4789 srcport 4789 4789
	ip link set vxlan$i up
	ip a a 192.168.$i.1/24 dev vxlan$i
	ip n a 192.168.$i.2 dev vxlan$i lladdr fc:22:33:44:55:66 nud permanent
	bridge fdb add fc:22:33:44:55:66 dev vxlan$A dst 192.168.$i.2 self

[ Upstream commit 41b14fb8724d5a4b382a63cb4a1a61880347ccb8 ]

Clearing the sock TX queue in sk_set_socket() might cause unexpected
out-of-order transmit when called from sock_orphan(), as outstanding
packets can pick a different TX queue and bypass the ones already queued.

This is undesired in general. More specifically, it breaks the in-order
scheduling property guarantee for device-offloaded TLS sockets.

Remove the call to sk_tx_queue_clear() in sk_set_socket(), and add it
explicitly only where needed.

If call_netdevice_notifiers() failed, then rollback_registered()
calls netdev_unregister_kobject() which holds the kobject. The
reference cannot be put because the netdev won't be add to todo
list, so it will leads a memleak, we need put the reference to
avoid memleak.

If call_netdevice_notifiers() failed, then rollback_registered()
calls netdev_unregister_kobject() which holds the kobject. The
reference cannot be put because the netdev won't be add to todo
list, so it will leads a memleak, we need put the reference to
avoid memleak.

<title>net: core: device_rename: Use rwsem instead of a seqcount</title>

[ Upstream commit 11d6011c2cf29f7c8181ebde6c8bc0c4d83adcd7 ]

Sequence counters write paths are critical sections that must never be
preempted, and blocking, even for CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n, is not allowed.

Commit 5dbe7c178d3f ("net: fix kernel deadlock with interface rename and
netdev name retrieval.") handled a deadlock, observed with
CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n, where the devnet_rename seqcount read side was
infinitely spinning: it got scheduled after the seqcount write side
blocked inside its own critical section.

To fix that deadlock, among other issues, the commit added a
cond_resched() inside the read side section. While this will get the
non-preemptible kernel eventually unstuck, the seqcount reader is fully
exhausting its slice just spinning -- until TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set.

The fix is also still broken: if the seqcount reader belongs to a
real-time scheduling policy, it can spin forever and the kernel will
livelock.

Disabling preemption over the seqcount write side critical section will
not work: inside it are a number of GFP_KERNEL allocations and mutex
locking through the drivers/base/ :: device_rename() call chain.

&gt;From all the above, replace the seqcount with a rwsem.

Fixes: 5dbe7c178d3f (net: fix kernel deadlock with interface rename and netdev name retrieval.)
Fixes: 30e6c9fa93cf (net: devnet_rename_seq should be a seqcount)
Fixes: c91f6df2db49 (sockopt: Change getsockopt() of SO_BINDTODEVICE to return an interface name)

Commit 5025f7f7d506 wrongly relied on __dev_change_flags to notify users of

Fix it by indicating flag changes explicitly to __dev_notify_flags.

<title>net: fix a potential recursive NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE</title>

[ Upstream commit dd912306ff008891c82cd9f63e8181e47a9cb2fb ]

syzbot managed to trigger a recursive NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE event
between bonding master and slave. I managed to find a reproducer
for this:

  ip li set bond0 up
  ifenslave bond0 eth0
  brctl addbr br0
  ethtool -K eth0 lro off
  brctl addif br0 bond0
  ip li set br0 up

When a NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE event is triggered on a bonding slave,
it captures this and calls bond_compute_features() to fixup its
master's and other slaves' features. However, when syncing with
its lower devices by netdev_sync_lower_features() this event is
triggered again on slaves when the LRO feature fails to change,
so it goes back and forth recursively until the kernel stack is
exhausted.

Commit 17b85d29e82c intentionally lets __netdev_update_features()
return -1 for such a failure case, so we have to just rely on
the existing check inside netdev_sync_lower_features() and skip
NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE event only for this specific failure case.

<title>net: skbuff: Remove errornous length validation in skb_vlan_pop()</title>

<id>5601a885975551f9d3650bcafab9610a55c768a7</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 636c2628086e40c86dac7ddc84a1c4b4fcccc6e3 upstream.

In 93515d53b1
  "net: move vlan pop/push functions into common code"
skb_vlan_pop was moved from its private location in openvswitch to
skbuff common code.

In case skb has non hw-accel vlan tag, the original 'pop_vlan()' assured
that skb-&gt;len is sufficient (if skb-&gt;len &lt; VLAN_ETH_HLEN then pop was
considered a no-op).

This validation was moved as is into the new common 'skb_vlan_pop'.

Alas, in its original location (openvswitch), there was a guarantee that
'data' points to the mac_header, therefore the 'skb-&gt;len &lt; VLAN_ETH_HLEN'
condition made sense.
However there's no such guarantee in the generic 'skb_vlan_pop'.

For short packets received in rx path going through 'skb_vlan_pop',
this causes 'skb_vlan_pop' to fail pop-ing a valid vlan hdr (in the non
hw-accel case) or to fail moving next tag into hw-accel tag.

Remove the 'skb-&gt;len &lt; VLAN_ETH_HLEN' condition entirely:
It is superfluous since inner '__skb_vlan_pop' already verifies there
are VLAN_ETH_HLEN writable bytes at the mac_header.

Note this presents a slight change to skb_vlan_pop() users:
In case total length is smaller than VLAN_ETH_HLEN, skb_vlan_pop() now
returns an error, as opposed to previous "no-op" behavior.

commit 636c2628086e40c86dac7ddc84a1c4b4fcccc6e3 upstream.

In 93515d53b1
  "net: move vlan pop/push functions into common code"
skb_vlan_pop was moved from its private location in openvswitch to
skbuff common code.

In case skb has non hw-accel vlan tag, the original 'pop_vlan()' assured
that skb-&gt;len is sufficient (if skb-&gt;len &lt; VLAN_ETH_HLEN then pop was
considered a no-op).

This validation was moved as is into the new common 'skb_vlan_pop'.

Alas, in its original location (openvswitch), there was a guarantee that
'data' points to the mac_header, therefore the 'skb-&gt;len &lt; VLAN_ETH_HLEN'
condition made sense.
However there's no such guarantee in the generic 'skb_vlan_pop'.

For short packets received in rx path going through 'skb_vlan_pop',
this causes 'skb_vlan_pop' to fail pop-ing a valid vlan hdr (in the non
hw-accel case) or to fail moving next tag into hw-accel tag.

Remove the 'skb-&gt;len &lt; VLAN_ETH_HLEN' condition entirely:
It is superfluous since inner '__skb_vlan_pop' already verifies there
are VLAN_ETH_HLEN writable bytes at the mac_header.

Note this presents a slight change to skb_vlan_pop() users:
In case total length is smaller than VLAN_ETH_HLEN, skb_vlan_pop() now
returns an error, as opposed to previous "no-op" behavior.
Existing callers (e.g. tc act vlan, ovs) usually drop the packet if
'skb_vlan_pop' fails.
