Kernel panic occurs when a devmem TCP socket is closed after NIC module
is unloaded.

This is Devmem TCP unregistration scenarios. number is an order.
(a)netlink socket close    (b)pp destroy    (c)uninstall    result
1                          2                3               OK
1                          3                2               (d)Impossible
2                          1                3               OK
3                          1                2               (e)Kernel panic
2                          3                1               (d)Impossible
3                          2                1               (d)Impossible

(a) netdev_nl_sock_priv_destroy() is called when devmem TCP socket is
    closed.
(b) page_pool_destroy() is called when the interface is down.
(c) mp_ops-&gt;uninstall() is called when an interface is unregistered.
(d) There is no scenario in mp_ops-&gt;uninstall() is called before
    page_pool_destroy().
    Because unregister_netdevice_many_notify() closes interfaces first
    and then calls mp_ops-&gt;uninstall().
(e) netdev_nl_sock_priv_destroy() accesses struct net_device to acquire
    netdev_lock().
    But if the interface module has already been removed, net_device
    pointer is invalid, so it causes kernel panic.

In summary, there are only 3 possible scenarios.
 A. sk close -&gt; pp destroy -&gt; uninstall.
 B. pp destroy -&gt; sk close -&gt; uninstall.
 C. pp destroy -&gt; uninstall -&gt; sk close.

Case C is a kernel panic scenario.

In order to fix this problem, It makes mp_dmabuf_devmem_uninstall() set
binding-&gt;dev to NULL.
It indicates an bound net_device was unregistered.

It makes netdev_nl_sock_priv_destroy() do not acquire netdev_lock()
if binding-&gt;dev is NULL.

A new binding-&gt;lock is added to protect a dev of a binding.
So, lock ordering is like below.
 priv-&gt;lock
 netdev_lock(dev)
 binding-&gt;lock

Tests:
Scenario A:
    ./ncdevmem -s 192.168.1.4 -c 192.168.1.2 -f $interface -l -p 8000 \
        -v 7 -t 1 -q 1 &amp;
    pid=$!
    sleep 10
    kill $pid
    ip link set $interface down
    modprobe -rv $module

Scenario B:
    ./ncdevmem -s 192.168.1.4 -c 192.168.1.2 -f $interface -l -p 8000 \
        -v 7 -t 1 -q 1 &amp;
    pid=$!
    sleep 10
    ip link set $interface down
    kill $pid
    modprobe -rv $module

Scenario C:
    ./ncdevmem -s 192.168.1.4 -c 192.168.1.2 -f $interface -l -p 8000 \
        -v 7 -t 1 -q 1 &amp;
    pid=$!
    sleep 10
    modprobe -rv $module
    sleep 5
    kill $pid

Splat looks like:

<title>net: Lock lower level devices when updating features</title>

__netdev_update_features() expects the netdevice to be ops-locked, but
it gets called recursively on the lower level netdevices to sync their
features, and nothing locks those.

This commit fixes that, with the assumption that it shouldn't be possible
for both higher-level and lover-level netdevices to require the instance
lock, because that would lead to lock dependency warnings.

Without this, playing with higher level (e.g. vxlan) netdevices on top
of netdevices with instance locking enabled can run into issues:

Older drivers and drivers with lower queue counts often have a static
array of queues, rather than allocating structs for each queue on demand.
Add a helper for adding up qstats from a queue range. Expectation is
that driver will pass a queue range [netdev-&gt;real_num_*x_queues, MAX).
It was tempting to always use num_*x_queues as the end, but virtio
seems to clamp its queue count after allocating the netdev. And this
way we can trivaly reuse the helper for [0, real_..).

<title>bpf: Scrub packet on bpf_redirect_peer</title>

<id>c4327229948879814229b46aa26a750718888503</id>
<content type='text'>
When bpf_redirect_peer is used to redirect packets to a device in
another network namespace, the skb isn't scrubbed. That can lead skb
information from one namespace to be "misused" in another namespace.

As one example, this is causing Cilium to drop traffic when using
bpf_redirect_peer to redirect packets that just went through IPsec
decryption to a container namespace. The following pwru trace shows (1)
the packet path from the host's XFRM layer to the container's XFRM
layer where it's dropped and (2) the number of active skb extensions at
each function.

In this case, there are no XFRM policies in the container's network
namespace so the drop is unexpected. When we decrypt the IPsec packet,
the XFRM state used for decryption is set in the skb extensions. This
information is preserved across the netns switch. When we reach the
XFRM policy check in the container's netns, __xfrm_policy_check drops
the packet with LINUX_MIB_XFRMINNOPOLS because a (container-side) XFRM
policy can't be found that matches the (host-side) XFRM state used for
decryption.

This patch fixes this by scrubbing the packet when using
bpf_redirect_peer, as is done on typical netns switches via veth
devices except skb-&gt;mark and skb-&gt;tstamp are not zeroed.

When bpf_redirect_peer is used to redirect packets to a device in
another network namespace, the skb isn't scrubbed. That can lead skb
information from one namespace to be "misused" in another namespace.

As one example, this is causing Cilium to drop traffic when using
bpf_redirect_peer to redirect packets that just went through IPsec
decryption to a container namespace. The following pwru trace shows (1)
the packet path from the host's XFRM layer to the container's XFRM
layer where it's dropped and (2) the number of active skb extensions at
each function.

Accidentally spotted while trying to understand what else needs
to be renamed to netif_ prefix. Most of the calls to dev_set_promiscuity
are adjacent to dev_set_allmulti or dev_disable_lro so it should
be safe to add the lock. Note that new netif_set_promiscuity is
currently unused, the locked paths call __dev_set_promiscuity directly.

__qdisc_destroy() calls into various qdiscs .destroy() op, which in turn
can call .ndo_setup_tc(), which requires the netdev instance lock.

This commit extends the critical section in
unregister_netdevice_many_notify() to cover dev_shutdown() (and
dev_tcx_uninstall() as a side-effect) and acquires the netdev instance
lock in __dev_change_net_namespace() for the other dev_shutdown() call.

This should now guarantee that for all qdisc ops, the netdev instance
lock is held during .ndo_setup_tc().

In lwtunnel_{output|xmit}(), dev_xmit_recursion() may be called in
preemptible scope for PREEMPT kernels. This patch disables BHs before
calling dev_xmit_recursion(). BHs are re-enabled only at the end, since
we must ensure the same CPU is used for both dev_xmit_recursion_inc()
and dev_xmit_recursion_dec() (and any other recursion levels in some
cases) in order to maintain valid per-cpu counters.

   - Bluetooth: increment TX timestamping tskey always for stream
     sockets

   - wifi: static analysis and build fixes for the new Intel sub-driver

  Previous releases - regressions:

   - net: fib_rules: fix iif / oif matching on L3 master (VRF) device

   - ipv6: add exception routes to GC list in rt6_insert_exception()

   - netfilter: conntrack: fix erroneous removal of offload bit

   - Bluetooth:
       - fix sending MGMT_EV_DEVICE_FOUND for invalid address
       - l2cap: process valid commands in too long frame
       - btnxpuart: Revert baudrate change in nxp_shutdown

  Previous releases - always broken:

   - ethtool: fix memory corruption during SFP FW flashing

   - eth:
       - hibmcge: fixes for link and MTU handling, pause frames etc
       - igc: fixes for PTM (PCIe timestamping)

   - dsa: b53: enable BPDU reception for management port
