  Current release - regressions:

   - eth: bnxt_en: fix crash in bnxt_get_max_rss_ctx_ring() on older HW
     when user tries to decrease the ring count

  Previous releases - regressions:

   - ethtool: fix RSS setting, accept "no change" setting if the driver
     doesn't support the new features

   - eth: i40e: remove needless retries of NVM update, don't wait 20min

When user submits a rxfh set command without touching XFRM_SYM_XOR,
rxfh.input_xfrm is set to RXH_XFRM_NO_CHANGE, which is equal to 0xff.

Testing if (rxfh.input_xfrm &amp; RXH_XFRM_SYM_XOR &amp;&amp;
	    !ops-&gt;cap_rss_sym_xor_supported)
		return -EOPNOTSUPP;

Will always be true on devices that don't set cap_rss_sym_xor_supported,
since rxfh.input_xfrm &amp; RXH_XFRM_SYM_XOR is always true, if input_xfrm
was not set, i.e RXH_XFRM_NO_CHANGE=0xff, which will result in failure
of any command that doesn't require any change of XFRM, e.g RSS context
or hash function changes.

To avoid this breakage, test if rxfh.input_xfrm != RXH_XFRM_NO_CHANGE
before testing other conditions. Note that the problem will only trigger
with XFRM-aware userspace, old ethtool CLI would continue to work.

These warnings are generated because the prologue comment for
crush_choose_indep() uses the kernel-doc prefix, but the actual
comment is a very brief description that is not in kernel-doc
format. Since this is a static function there is no need to fully
document the function, so replace the kernel-doc comment prefix with a
standard comment prefix to remove these warnings.

Netfilter fixes for net

The following batch contains Netfilter fixes for net:

Patch #1 fixes a bogus WARN_ON splat in nfnetlink_queue.

Patch #2 fixes a crash due to stack overflow in chain loop detection
	 by using the existing chain validation routines

Both patches from Florian Westphal.

<title>net, sunrpc: Remap EPERM in case of connection failure in xs_tcp_setup_socket</title>

<id>626dfed5fa3bfb41e0dffd796032b555b69f9cde</id>
<content type='text'>
When using a BPF program on kernel_connect(), the call can return -EPERM. This
causes xs_tcp_setup_socket() to loop forever, filling up the syslog and causing
the kernel to potentially freeze up.

Neil suggested:

  This will propagate -EPERM up into other layers which might not be ready
  to handle it. It might be safer to map EPERM to an error we would be more
  likely to expect from the network system - such as ECONNREFUSED or ENETDOWN.

ECONNREFUSED as error seems reasonable. For programs setting a different error
can be out of reach (see handling in 4fbac77d2d09) in particular on kernels
which do not have f10d05966196 ("bpf: Make BPF_PROG_RUN_ARRAY return -err
instead of allow boolean"), thus given that it is better to simply remap for
consistent behavior. UDP does handle EPERM in xs_udp_send_request().

can be fixed by retrieving ct from skb again after confirming conntrack.

<title>udp: Set SOCK_RCU_FREE earlier in udp_lib_get_port().</title>

syzkaller triggered the warning [0] in udp_v4_early_demux().

In udp_v[46]_early_demux() and sk_lookup(), we do not touch the refcount
of the looked-up sk and use sock_pfree() as skb-&gt;destructor, so we check
SOCK_RCU_FREE to ensure that the sk is safe to access during the RCU grace
period.

Currently, SOCK_RCU_FREE is flagged for a bound socket after being put
into the hash table.  Moreover, the SOCK_RCU_FREE check is done too early
in udp_v[46]_early_demux() and sk_lookup(), so there could be a small race
window:

  |- DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE(sk_is_refcounted(sk));
                                       `- sock_set_flag(sk, SOCK_RCU_FREE)

We had the same bug in TCP and fixed it in commit 871019b22d1b ("net:
set SOCK_RCU_FREE before inserting socket into hashtable").

Let's apply the same fix for UDP.

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: prefer nft_chain_validate</title>

nft_chain_validate already performs loop detection because a cycle will
result in a call stack overflow (ctx-&gt;level &gt;= NFT_JUMP_STACK_SIZE).

It also follows maps via -&gt;validate callback in nft_lookup, so there
appears no reason to iterate the maps again.

nf_tables_check_loops() and all its helper functions can be removed.
This improves ruleset load time significantly, from 23s down to 12s.

This also fixes a crash bug. Old loop detection code can result in
unbounded recursion:

BUG: TASK stack guard page was hit at ....
Oops: stack guard page: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN
CPU: 4 PID: 1539 Comm: nft Not tainted 6.10.0-rc5+ #1
[..]

with a suitable ruleset during validation of register stores.

I can't see any actual reason to attempt to check for this from
nft_validate_register_store(), at this point the transaction is still in
progress, so we don't have a full picture of the rule graph.

For nf-next it might make sense to either remove it or make this depend
on table-&gt;validate_state in case we could catch an error earlier
(for improved error reporting to userspace).
