Recently, when automatically merging -net and net-next in MPTCP devel
tree, our CI reported [1] a conflict in hsr, the same as the one
reported by Stephen in netdev [2].

When looking at the conflict, I noticed it is in fact the v1 [3] that
has been applied in -net and the v2 [4] in net-next. Maybe the v1 was
applied by accident.

As mentioned by Jakub Kicinski [5], the new condition makes more sense
before the net_ratelimit(), not to update net_ratelimit's state which is
unnecessary if we're not going to print either way.

Here, this modification applies the v2 but in -net.

If no frames has been exchanged with a node for HSR_NODE_FORGET_TIME, the
node will be deleted from the node_db list. If a frame is sent to the node
after it is deleted, a netdev_err message for each slave interface is
produced. This should not happen with dan nodes because of supervision
frames, but can happen often with san nodes, which clutters the kernel
log. Since the hsr protocol does not support sans, this is only relevant
for the prp protocol.

self_node_db is a list_head with one entry of struct hsr_node. The
purpose is to hold the two MAC addresses of the node itself.
It is convenient to recycle the structure. However having a list_head
and fetching always the first entry is not really optimal.

Created a new data strucure contaning the two MAC addresses named
hsr_self_node. Access that structure like an RCU protected pointer so
it can be replaced on the fly without blocking the reader.

hsr_register_frame_out() compares new sequence_nr vs the old one
recorded in hsr_node::seq_out and if the new sequence_nr is higher then
it will be written to hsr_node::seq_out as the new value.

This operation isn't locked so it is possible that two frames with the
same sequence number arrive (via the two slave devices) and are fed to
hsr_register_frame_out() at the same time. Both will pass the check and
update the sequence counter later to the same value. As a result the
content of the same packet is fed into the stack twice.

This was noticed by running ping and observing DUP being reported from
time to time.

Instead of using the hsr_priv::seqnr_lock for the whole receive path (as
it is for sending in the master node) add an additional lock that is only
used for sequence number checks and updates.

Add a per-node lock that is used during sequence number reads and
updates.

<title>hsr: Synchronize sending frames to have always incremented outgoing seq nr.</title>

Sending frames via the hsr (master) device requires a sequence number
which is tracked in hsr_priv::sequence_nr and protected by
hsr_priv::seqnr_lock. Each time a new frame is sent, it will obtain a
new id and then send it via the slave devices.
Each time a packet is sent (via hsr_forward_do()) the sequence number is
checked via hsr_register_frame_out() to ensure that a frame is not
handled twice. This make sense for the receiving side to ensure that the
frame is not injected into the stack twice after it has been received
from both slave ports.

There is no locking to cover the sending path which means the following
scenario is possible:

  CPU0				CPU1
  hsr_dev_xmit(skb1)		hsr_dev_xmit(skb2)
   fill_frame_info()             fill_frame_info()
    hsr_fill_frame_info()         hsr_fill_frame_info()
     handle_std_frame()            handle_std_frame()
      skb1's sequence_nr = 1
                                    skb2's sequence_nr = 2
   hsr_forward_do()              hsr_forward_do()

                                   hsr_register_frame_out(, 2)  // okay, send)

    hsr_register_frame_out(, 1) // stop, lower seq duplicate

Both skbs (or their struct hsr_frame_info) received an unique id.
However since skb2 was sent before skb1, the higher sequence number was
recorded in hsr_register_frame_out() and the late arriving skb1 was
dropped and never sent.

This scenario has been observed in a three node HSR setup, with node1 +
node2 having ping and iperf running in parallel. From time to time ping
reported a missing packet. Based on tracing that missing ping packet did
not leave the system.

It might be possible (didn't check) to drop the sequence number check on
the sending side. But if the higher sequence number leaves on wire
before the lower does and the destination receives them in that order
and it will drop the packet with the lower sequence number and never
inject into the stack.
Therefore it seems the only way is to lock the whole path from obtaining
the sequence number and sending via dev_queue_xmit() and assuming the
packets leave on wire in the same order (and don't get reordered by the
NIC).

Cover the whole path for the master interface from obtaining the ID
until after it has been forwarded via hsr_forward_skb() to ensure the
skbs are sent to the NIC in the order of the assigned sequence numbers.

The hsr device is a software device. Its
net_device_ops::ndo_start_xmit() routine will process the packet and
then pass the resulting skb to dev_queue_xmit().
During processing, hsr acquires a lock with spin_lock_bh()
(hsr_add_node()) which needs to be promoted to the _irq() suffix in
order to avoid a potential deadlock.
Then there are the warnings in dev_queue_xmit() (due to
local_bh_disable() with disabled interrupts) left.

Instead trying to address those (there is qdisc and…) for netpoll sake,
just disable netpoll on hsr.

Disable netpoll on hsr and replace the _irqsave() locking with _bh().

Due to the hashed-MAC optimisation one problem become visible:
hsr_handle_sup_frame() walks over the list of available nodes and merges
two node entries into one if based on the information in the supervision
both MAC addresses belong to one node. The list-walk happens on a RCU
protected list and delete operation happens under a lock.

If the supervision arrives on both slave interfaces at the same time
then this delete operation can occur simultaneously on two CPUs. The
result is the first-CPU deletes the from the list and the second CPUs
BUGs while attempting to dereference a poisoned list-entry. This happens
more likely with the optimisation because a new node for the mac_B entry
is created once a packet has been received and removed (merged) once the
supervision frame has been received.

Avoid removing/ cleaning up a hsr_node twice by adding a `removed' field
which is set to true after the removal and checked before the removal.

hsr_forward_skb() a skb and keeps information in an on-stack
hsr_frame_info. hsr_get_node() assigns hsr_frame_info::node_src which is
from a RCU list. This pointer is used later in hsr_forward_do().
I don't see a reason why this pointer can't vanish midway since there is
no guarantee that hsr_forward_skb() is invoked from an RCU read section.

Use rcu_read_lock() to protect hsr_frame_info::node_src from its
assignment until it is no longer used.

hsr_forward_skb() a skb and keeps information in an on-stack
hsr_frame_info. hsr_get_node() assigns hsr_frame_info::node_src which is
from a RCU list. This pointer is used later in hsr_forward_do().
I don't see a reason why this pointer can't vanish midway since there is
no guarantee that hsr_forward_skb() is invoked from an RCU read section.

Use rcu_read_lock() to protect hsr_frame_info::node_src from its
assignment until it is no longer used.

<title>Revert "net: hsr: use hlist_head instead of list_head for mac addresses"</title>

<id>e012764cebf6e33097f6833ff15a936fbe7b846c</id>
<content type='text'>
The hlist optimisation (which not only uses hlist_head instead of
list_head but also splits hsr_priv::node_db into an array of 256 slots)
does not consider the "node merge":
Upon starting the hsr network (with three nodes) a packet that is
sent from node1 to node3 will also be sent from node1 to node2 and then
forwarded to node3.
As a result node3 will receive 2 packets because it is not able
to filter out the duplicate. Each packet received will create a new
struct hsr_node with macaddress_A only set the MAC address it received
from (the two MAC addesses from node1).
At some point (early in the process) two supervision frames will be
received from node1. They will be processed by hsr_handle_sup_frame()
and one frame will leave early ("Node has already been merged") and does
nothing. The other frame will be merged as portB and have its MAC
address written to macaddress_B and the hsr_node (that was created for
it as macaddress_A) will be removed.
From now on HSR is able to identify a duplicate because both packets
sent from one node will result in the same struct hsr_node because
hsr_get_node() will find the MAC address either on macaddress_A or
macaddress_B.

Things get tricky with the optimisation: If sender's MAC address is
saved as macaddress_A then the lookup will work as usual. If the MAC
address has been merged into macaddress_B of another hsr_node then the
lookup won't work because it is likely that the data structure is in
another bucket. This results in creating a new struct hsr_node and not
recognising a possible duplicate.

A way around it would be to add another hsr_node::mac_list_B and attach
it to the other bucket to ensure that this hsr_node will be looked up
either via macaddress_A _or_ macaddress_B.

I however prefer to revert it because it sounds like an academic problem
rather than real life workload plus it adds complexity. I'm not an HSR
expert with what is usual size of a network but I would guess 40 to 60
nodes. With 10.000 nodes and assuming 60us for pass-through (from node
to node) then it would take almost 600ms for a packet to almost wrap
around which sounds a lot.

Revert the hash MAC addresses optimisation.
