<id>e032f7c9c7cefffcfb79b9fc16c53011d2d9d11f</id>
<content type='text'>
Like prior patch, we need to annotate lockless accesses to po-&gt;ifindex
For instance, packet_getname() is reading po-&gt;ifindex (twice) while
another thread is able to change po-&gt;ifindex.

KCSAN reported:

tpacket_snd(), packet_snd(), packet_getname() and packet_seq_show()
can read po-&gt;num without holding a lock. This means other threads
can change po-&gt;num at the same time.

KCSAN complained about this known fact [1]
Add READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to address the issue.

There is a known race in packet_sendmsg(), addressed
in commit 32d3182cd2cd ("net/packet: fix race in tpacket_snd()")

Now we have data_race(), we can use it to avoid a future KCSAN warning,
as syzbot loves stressing af_packet sockets :)

<title>net: packetmmap: fix only tx timestamp on request</title>

<content type='text'>
The packetmmap tx ring should only return timestamps if requested via
setsockopt PACKET_TIMESTAMP, as documented. This allows compatibility
with non-timestamp aware user-space code which checks
tp_status == TP_STATUS_AVAILABLE; not expecting additional timestamp
flags to be set in tp_status.

af_packet fanout uses RCU rules to ensure f-&gt;arr elements
are not dismantled before RCU grace period.

However, it lacks rcu accessors to make sure KCSAN and other tools
wont detect data races. Stupid compilers could also play games.

<title>net/packet: Improve the comment about LL header visibility criteria</title>

<id>21c85974aab7211619d39364990427af543c88ac</id>
<content type='text'>
The "dev_has_header" function, recently added in
commit d549699048b4 ("net/packet: fix packet receive on L3 devices
without visible hard header"),
is more accurate as criteria for determining whether a device exposes
the LL header to upper layers, because in addition to dev-&gt;header_ops,
it also checks for dev-&gt;header_ops-&gt;create.

When transmitting an skb on a device, dev_hard_header can be called to
generate an LL header. dev_hard_header will only generate a header if
dev-&gt;header_ops-&gt;create is present.

It's better make 'pkt_sk()' inline here, as non-inline function
shouldn't occur in headers. Besides, this function is simple
enough to be inline.

On 64-bit systems the packet procfs header field names following 'sk'
are not aligned correctly:

<title>net: fix proc_fs init handling in af_packet and tls</title>

proc_fs was used, in af_packet, without a surrounding #ifdef,
although there is no hard dependency on proc_fs.
That caused the initialization of the af_packet module to fail
when CONFIG_PROC_FS=n.

Specifically, proc_create_net() was used in af_packet.c,
and when it fails, packet_net_init() returns -ENOMEM.
It will always fail when the kernel is compiled without proc_fs,
because, proc_create_net() for example always returns NULL.

The calling order that starts in af_packet.c is as follows:
packet_init()
register_pernet_subsys()
register_pernet_operations()
__register_pernet_operations()
ops_init()
ops-&gt;init() (packet_net_ops.init=packet_net_init())
proc_create_net()

It worked in the past because register_pernet_subsys()'s return value
wasn't checked before this Commit 36096f2f4fa0 ("packet: Fix error path in
packet_init.").
It always returned an error, but was not checked before, so everything
was working even when CONFIG_PROC_FS=n.

The fix here is simply to add the necessary #ifdef.

This also fixes a similar error in tls_proc.c, that was found by Jakub
Kicinski.

Fixes: 36096f2f4fa0 ("packet: Fix error path in packet_init")
