[ Upstream commit 197c1eaa7ba633a482ed7588eea6fd4aa57e08d4 ]

When running the mincore_selftest on a system with an XFS file system, it
failed the "check_file_mmap" test case due to the read-ahead pages reaching
the end of the file. The failure log is as below:

   RUN           global.check_file_mmap ...
  mincore_selftest.c:264:check_file_mmap:Expected i (1024) &lt; vec_size (1024)
  mincore_selftest.c:265:check_file_mmap:Read-ahead pages reached the end of the file
  check_file_mmap: Test failed
           FAIL  global.check_file_mmap

This is because the read-ahead window size of the XFS file system on this
machine is 4 MB, which is larger than the size from the #PF address to the
end of the file. As a result, all the pages for this file are populated.

  blockdev --getra /dev/nvme0n1p5
    8192
  blockdev --getbsz /dev/nvme0n1p5
    512

This issue can be fixed by extending the current FILE_SIZE 4MB to a larger
number, but it will still fail if the read-ahead window size of the file
system is larger enough. Additionally, in the real world, read-ahead pages
reaching the end of the file can happen and is an expected behavior.
Therefore, allowing read-ahead pages to reach the end of the file is a
better choice for the "check_file_mmap" test case.

<title>selftests/mm: generate a temporary mountpoint for cgroup filesystem</title>

[ Upstream commit 9c02223e2d9df5cb37c51aedb78f3960294e09b5 ]

Currently if the filesystem for the cgroups version it wants to use is not
mounted charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh and hugetlb_reparenting_test.sh tests
will attempt to mount it on the hard coded path /dev/cgroup/memory,
deleting that directory when the test finishes.  This will fail if there
is not a preexisting directory at that path, and since the directory is
deleted subsequent runs of the test will fail.  Instead of relying on this
hard coded directory name use mktemp to generate a temporary directory to
use as a mountpoint, fixing both the assumption and the disruption caused
by deleting a preexisting directory.

This means that if the relevant cgroup filesystem is not already mounted
then we rely on having coreutils (which provides mktemp) installed.  I
suspect that many current users are relying on having things automounted
by default, and given that the script relies on bash it's probably not an
unreasonable requirement.

<title>landlock: Add the errata interface</title>

commit 15383a0d63dbcd63dc7e8d9ec1bf3a0f7ebf64ac upstream.

Some fixes may require user space to check if they are applied on the
running kernel before using a specific feature.  For instance, this
applies when a restriction was previously too restrictive and is now
getting relaxed (e.g. for compatibility reasons).  However, non-visible
changes for legitimate use (e.g. security fixes) do not require an
erratum.

Because fixes are backported down to a specific Landlock ABI, we need a
way to avoid cherry-pick conflicts.  The solution is to only update a
file related to the lower ABI impacted by this issue.  All the ABI files
are then used to create a bitmask of fixes.

The new errata interface is similar to the one used to get the supported
Landlock ABI version, but it returns a bitmask instead because the order
of fixes may not match the order of versions, and not all fixes may
apply to all versions.

The actual errata will come with dedicated commits.  The description is
not actually used in the code but serves as documentation.

Create the landlock_abi_version symbol and use its value to check errata
consistency.

Update test_base's create_ruleset_checks_ordering tests and add errata
tests.

This commit is backportable down to the first version of Landlock.

[ Upstream commit 4107a1aeb20ed4cdad6a0d49de92ea0f933c71b7 ]

On powerpc, a CPU does not necessarily originate from NUMA node 0.
This contrasts with architectures like x86, where CPU 0 is not
hot-pluggable, making NUMA node 0 a consistently valid node.
This discrepancy can lead to failures when creating a map on NUMA
node 0, which is initialized by default, if no CPUs are allocated
from NUMA node 0.

This patch fixes the issue by setting NUMA_NO_NODE (-1) for map
creation for this selftest.

[ Upstream commit de07b182899227d5fd1ca7a1a7d495ecd453d49c ]

The strncmp benchmark uses the bpf_strncmp helper and a hand-written
loop to compare two strings. The values of the strings are filled from
userspace. One of the strings is non-const (in .bss) while the other is
const (in .rodata) since that is the requirement of bpf_strncmp.

The problem is that in the hand-written loop, Clang optimizes the reads
from the const string to always return 0 which breaks the benchmark.

Use barrier_var to prevent the optimization.

The effect can be seen on the strncmp-no-helper variant.

Before this change:

commit 3ec920bb978ccdc68a7dfb304d303d598d038cb1 upstream.

After the netdevsim update to use human-readable IP address formats for
IPsec, we can now use the source and destination IPs directly in testing.
Here is the result:
  # ./rtnetlink.sh -t kci_test_ipsec_offload
  PASS: ipsec_offload

<title>net: ipv4: Cache pmtu for all packet paths if multipath enabled</title>

[ Upstream commit 7d3f3b4367f315a61fc615e3138f3d320da8c466 ]

Check number of paths by fib_info_num_path(),
and update_or_create_fnhe() for every path.
Problem is that pmtu is cached only for the oif
that has received icmp message "need to frag",
other oifs will still try to use "default" iface mtu.

An example topology showing the problem:

                    |  host1
                +---------+
                |  dummy0 | 10.179.20.18/32  mtu9000

                    +-----+
                    | eth0| 10.10.30.30  mtu9000
                    +-----+
                        |  host2

host1 have enabled multipath and
sysctl net.ipv4.fib_multipath_hash_policy = 1:

default proto static src 10.179.20.18
        nexthop via 10.179.2.12 dev ens17f1 weight 1
        nexthop via 10.179.2.140 dev ens17f0 weight 1

When host1 tries to do pmtud from 10.179.20.18/32 to host2,
host1 receives at ens17f1 iface an icmp packet from ro3 that ro3 mtu=1500.
And host1 caches it in nexthop exceptions cache.

Problem is that it is cached only for the iface that has received icmp,
and there is no way that ro3 will send icmp msg to host1 via another path.

Host1 now have this routes to host2:

ip r g 10.10.30.30 sport 30000 dport 443
10.10.30.30 via 10.179.2.12 dev ens17f1 src 10.179.20.18 uid 0
    cache expires 521sec mtu 1500

ip r g 10.10.30.30 sport 30033 dport 443
10.10.30.30 via 10.179.2.140 dev ens17f0 src 10.179.20.18 uid 0
    cache

So when host1 tries again to reach host2 with mtu&gt;1500,
if packet flow is lucky enough to be hashed with oif=ens17f1 its ok,
if oif=ens17f0 it blackholes and still gets icmp msgs from ro3 to ens17f1,
until lucky day when ro3 will send it through another flow to ens17f0.
