dpll: fix possible deadlock during netlink dump operation

Recently, I've been hitting following deadlock warning during dpll pin

               other info that might help us debug this:

[52804.661077]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

[52804.661671]        CPU0                    CPU1
[52804.662129]        ----                    ----
[52804.662577]   lock(dpll_lock);
[52804.662924]                                lock(nlk_cb_mutex-GENERIC);
[52804.663538]                                lock(dpll_lock);
[52804.664073]   lock(nlk_cb_mutex-GENERIC);
[52804.664490]

The issue as follows: __netlink_dump_start() calls control->start(cb)
with nlk->cb_mutex held. In control->start(cb) the dpll_lock is taken.
Then nlk->cb_mutex is released and taken again in netlink_dump(), while
dpll_lock still being held. That leads to ABBA deadlock when another
CPU races with the same operation.

Fix this by moving dpll_lock taking into dumpit() callback which ensures
correct lock taking order.

netlink: specs: add ethnl PHY_GET command set

2024-01-01T18:38:57+00:00

The PHY_GET command, supporting both DUMP and GET operations, is used to
retrieve the list of PHYs connected to a netdevice, and get topology
information to know where exactly it sits on the physical link.

Add the netlink specs corresponding to that command.

devlink: add a command to set notification filter and use it for multicasts

2023-12-19T14:31:40+00:00

Currently the user listening on a socket for devlink notifications
gets always all messages for all existing instances, even if he is
interested only in one of those. That may cause unnecessary overhead
on setups with thousands of instances present.

User is currently able to narrow down the devlink objects replies
to dump commands by specifying select attributes.

Allow similar approach for notifications. Introduce a new devlink
NOTIFY_FILTER_SET which the user passes the select attributes. Store
these per-socket and use them for filtering messages
during multicast send.

Alexei Starovoitov says:

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2023-12-18

This PR is larger than usual and contains changes in various parts
of the kernel.

The main changes are:

1) Fix kCFI bugs in BPF, from Peter Zijlstra.

End result: all forms of indirect calls from BPF into kernel
and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows BPF
to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y.

2) Introduce BPF token object, from Andrii Nakryiko.

It adds an ability to delegate a subset of BPF features from privileged
daemon (e.g., systemd) through special mount options for userns-bound
BPF FS to a trusted unprivileged application. The design accommodates
suggestions from Christian Brauner and Paul Moore.

Example:
$ sudo mkdir -p /sys/fs/bpf/token
$ sudo mount -t bpf bpffs /sys/fs/bpf/token \
             -o delegate_cmds=prog_load:MAP_CREATE \
             -o delegate_progs=kprobe \
             -o delegate_attachs=xdp

3) Various verifier improvements and fixes, from Andrii Nakryiko, Andrei Matei.

 - Complete precision tracking support for register spills
 - Fix verification of possibly-zero-sized stack accesses
 - Fix access to uninit stack slots
 - Track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
   It improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from single
   digit to 50-60% for some programs.
 - Fix verifier retval logic

4) Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints, from Larysa Zaremba.

5) Allocate BPF trampoline via bpf_prog_pack mechanism, from Song Liu.

End result: better memory utilization and lower I$ miss for calls to BPF
via BPF trampoline.

6) Fix race between BPF prog accessing inner map and parallel delete,
from Hou Tao.

7) Add bpf_xdp_get_xfrm_state() kfunc, from Daniel Xu.

It allows BPF interact with IPSEC infra. The intent is to support
software RSS (via XDP) for the upcoming ipsec pcpu work.
Experiments on AWS demonstrate single tunnel pcpu ipsec reaching
line rate on 100G ENA nics.

8) Expand bpf_cgrp_storage to support cgroup1 non-attach, from Yafang Shao.

9) BPF file verification via fsverity, from Song Liu.

It allows BPF progs get fsverity digest.
