commit 87c6efc5ce9c126ae4a781bc04504b83780e3650 upstream.

Shuang reported sch_ets test-case [1] crashing in ets_class_qlen_notify()
after recent changes from Lion [2]. The problem is: in ets_qdisc_change()
we purge unused DWRR queues; the value of 'q-&gt;nbands' is the new one, and
the cleanup should be done with the old one. The problem is here since my
first attempts to fix ets_qdisc_change(), but it surfaced again after the
recent qdisc len accounting fixes. Fix it purging idle DWRR queues before
assigning a new value of 'q-&gt;nbands', so that all purge operations find a
consistent configuration:

 - old 'q-&gt;nbands' because it's needed by ets_class_find()
 - old 'q-&gt;nstrict' because it's needed by ets_class_is_strict()

<title>vsock/virtio: Resize receive buffers so that each SKB fits in a 4K page</title>

[ Upstream commit 03a92f036a04fed2b00d69f5f46f1a486e70dc5c ]

When allocating receive buffers for the vsock virtio RX virtqueue, an
SKB is allocated with a 4140 data payload (the 44-byte packet header +
VIRTIO_VSOCK_DEFAULT_RX_BUF_SIZE). Even when factoring in the SKB
overhead, the resulting 8KiB allocation thanks to the rounding in
kmalloc_reserve() is wasteful (~3700 unusable bytes) and results in a
higher-order page allocation on systems with 4KiB pages just for the
sake of a few hundred bytes of packet data.

Limit the vsock virtio RX buffers to 4KiB per SKB, resulting in much
better memory utilisation and removing the need to allocate higher-order
pages entirely.

In NC-SI spec v1.2 section 8.4.44.2, the firmware name doesn't
need to be null terminated while its size occupies the full size
of the field. Fix the buffer overflow issue by adding one

<title>wifi: mac80211: update radar_required in channel context after channel switch</title>

[ Upstream commit 140c6a61d83cbd85adba769b5ef8d61acfa5b392 ]

Currently, when a non-DFS channel is brought up and the bandwidth is
expanded from 80 MHz to 160 MHz, where the primary 80 MHz is non-DFS
and the secondary 80 MHz consists of DFS channels, radar detection
fails if radar occurs in the secondary 80 MHz.

When the channel is switched from 80 MHz to 160 MHz, with the primary
80 MHz being non-DFS and the secondary 80 MHz consisting of DFS
channels, the radar required flag in the channel switch parameters
is set to true. However, when using a reserved channel context,
it is not updated in sdata, which disables radar detection in the
secondary 80 MHz DFS channels.

Update the radar required flag in sdata to fix this issue when using
a reserved channel context.

[ Upstream commit 140c6a61d83cbd85adba769b5ef8d61acfa5b392 ]

Currently, when a non-DFS channel is brought up and the bandwidth is
expanded from 80 MHz to 160 MHz, where the primary 80 MHz is non-DFS
and the secondary 80 MHz consists of DFS channels, radar detection
fails if radar occurs in the secondary 80 MHz.

When the channel is switched from 80 MHz to 160 MHz, with the primary
80 MHz being non-DFS and the secondary 80 MHz consisting of DFS
channels, the radar required flag in the channel switch parameters
is set to true. However, when using a reserved channel context,
it is not updated in sdata, which disables radar detection in the
secondary 80 MHz DFS channels.

Update the radar required flag in sdata to fix this issue when using
a reserved channel context.

[ Upstream commit 94f39804d891cffe4ce17737d295f3b195bc7299 ]

The issue originates when Strongswan initiates an XFRM_MSG_ALLOCSPI
Netlink message, which triggers the kernel function xfrm_alloc_spi().
This function is expected to ensure uniqueness of the Security Parameter
Index (SPI) for inbound Security Associations (SAs). However, it can
return success even when the requested SPI is already in use, leading
to duplicate SPIs assigned to multiple inbound SAs, differentiated
only by their destination addresses.

This behavior causes inconsistencies during SPI lookups for inbound packets.
Since the lookup may return an arbitrary SA among those with the same SPI,
packet processing can fail, resulting in packet drops.

According to RFC 4301 section 4.4.2 , for inbound processing a unicast SA
is uniquely identified by the SPI and optionally protocol.

Reproducing the Issue Reliably:
To consistently reproduce the problem, restrict the available SPI range in
charon.conf : spi_min = 0x10000000 spi_max = 0x10000002
This limits the system to only 2 usable SPI values.
Next, create more than 2 Child SA. each using unique pair of src/dst address.
As soon as the 3rd Child SA is initiated, it will be assigned a duplicate
SPI, since the SPI pool is already exhausted.
With a narrow SPI range, the issue is consistently reproducible.
With a broader/default range, it becomes rare and unpredictable.

Current implementation:
xfrm_spi_hash() lookup function computes hash using daddr, proto, and family.
So if two SAs have the same SPI but different destination addresses, then
they will:
a. Hash into different buckets
b. Be stored in different linked lists (byspi + h)
c. Not be seen in the same hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() iteration.
As a result, the lookup will result in NULL and kernel allows that Duplicate SPI

Proposed Change:
xfrm_state_lookup_spi_proto() does a truly global search - across all states,
regardless of hash bucket and matches SPI and proto.

[ Upstream commit cc2b722132893164bcb3cee4f08ed056e126eb6c ]

Currently, ieee80211_rx_data_set_sta() does not correctly handle the
case where the interface supports multiple links (MLO), but the station
does not (non-MLO). This can lead to incorrect link assignment or
unexpected warnings when accessing link information.

Hence, add a fix to check if the station lacks valid link support and
use its default link ID for rx-&gt;link assignment. If the station
unexpectedly has valid links, fall back to the default link.

This ensures correct link association and prevents potential issues
in mixed MLO/non-MLO environments.

[ Upstream commit dbd40f318cf2f59759bd170c401adc20ba360a3e ]

Since commit 63ed8de4be81 ("mld: add mc_lock for protecting
per-interface mld data"), every multicast resource is protected
by inet6_dev-&gt;mc_lock.

RTNL is unnecessary in terms of protection but still needed for
synchronisation between addrconf_ifdown() and __ipv6_dev_mc_inc().

Once we removed RTNL, there would be a race below, where we could
add a multicast address to a dead inet6_dev.

  CPU1                            CPU2
  ====                            ====
  addrconf_ifdown()               __ipv6_dev_mc_inc()
                                    if (idev-&gt;dead) &lt;-- false
    dead = true                       return -ENODEV;
    ipv6_mc_destroy_dev() / ipv6_mc_down()
      mutex_lock(&amp;idev-&gt;mc_lock)
      ...
      mutex_unlock(&amp;idev-&gt;mc_lock)
                                    mutex_lock(&amp;idev-&gt;mc_lock)
                                    ...
                                    mutex_unlock(&amp;idev-&gt;mc_lock)

The race window can be easily closed by checking inet6_dev-&gt;dead
under inet6_dev-&gt;mc_lock in __ipv6_dev_mc_inc() as addrconf_ifdown()
will acquire it after marking inet6_dev dead.

Let's check inet6_dev-&gt;dead under mc_lock in __ipv6_dev_mc_inc().

Note that now __ipv6_dev_mc_inc() no longer depends on RTNL and
we can remove ASSERT_RTNL() there and the RTNL comment above
addrconf_join_solict().

[ Upstream commit be1ba9ed221ffb95a8bb15f4c83d0694225ba808 ]

If we get to the error path of ieee80211_prep_connection, for example
because of a FW issue, then ieee80211_vif_set_links is called
with 0.
But the call to drv_change_vif_links from ieee80211_vif_update_links
will probably fail as well, for the same reason.
In this case, the valid_links and active_links bitmaps will be reverted
to the value of the failing connection.
Then, in the next connection, due to the logic of
ieee80211_set_vif_links_bitmaps, valid_links will be set to the ID of
the new connection assoc link, but the active_links will remain with the
ID of the old connection's assoc link.
If those IDs are different, we get into a weird state of valid_links and
active_links being different. One of the consequences of this state is
to call drv_change_vif_links with new_links as 0, since the &amp; operation
between the bitmaps will be 0.

Since a removal of a link should always succeed, ignore the return value
of drv_change_vif_links if it was called to only remove links, which is
the case for the ieee80211_prep_connection's error path.
That way, the bitmaps will not be reverted to have the value from the
failing connection and will have 0, so the next connection will have a
good state.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 6b04716cdcac37bdbacde34def08bc6fdb5fc4e2 ]

When SAE commit is sent and received in response, there's no
ordering for the SAE confirm messages. As such, don't call
drivers to stop listening on the channel when the confirm
message is still expected.

This fixes an issue if the local confirm is transmitted later
than the AP's confirm, for iwlwifi (and possibly mt76) the
AP's confirm would then get lost since the device isn't on
the channel at the time the AP transmit the confirm.

For iwlwifi at least, this also improves the overall timing
of the authentication handshake (by about 15ms according to
the report), likely since the session protection won't be
aborted and rescheduled.

Note that even before this, mgd_complete_tx() wasn't always
called for each call to mgd_prepare_tx() (e.g. in the case
of WEP key shared authentication), and the current drivers
that have the complete callback don't seem to mind. Document
this as well though.

[ Upstream commit 6b04716cdcac37bdbacde34def08bc6fdb5fc4e2 ]

When SAE commit is sent and received in response, there's no
ordering for the SAE confirm messages. As such, don't call
drivers to stop listening on the channel when the confirm
message is still expected.

This fixes an issue if the local confirm is transmitted later
than the AP's confirm, for iwlwifi (and possibly mt76) the
AP's confirm would then get lost since the device isn't on
the channel at the time the AP transmit the confirm.

For iwlwifi at least, this also improves the overall timing
of the authentication handshake (by about 15ms according to
the report), likely since the session protection won't be
aborted and rescheduled.

Note that even before this, mgd_complete_tx() wasn't always
called for each call to mgd_prepare_tx() (e.g. in the case
of WEP key shared authentication), and the current drivers
that have the complete callback don't seem to mind. Document
this as well though.
