[ Upstream commit 96e97bc07e90f175a8980a22827faf702ca4cb30 ]

napi_disable() makes sure to set the NAPI_STATE_NPSVC bit to prevent
netpoll from accessing rings before init is complete. However, the
same is not done for fresh napi instances in netif_napi_add(),
even though we expect NAPI instances to be added as disabled.

This causes crashes during driver reconfiguration (enabling XDP,
changing the channel count) - if there is any printk() after
netif_napi_add() but before napi_enable().

To ensure memory ordering is correct we need to use RCU accessors.

[ 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.

[ 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.

Fixes: e022f0b4a03f ("net: Introduce sk_tx_queue_mapping")

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)
