<title>gve: Fix stuck TX queue for DQ queue format</title>

gve_tx_timeout was calculating missed completions in a way that is only
relevant in the GQ queue format. Additionally, it was attempting to
disable device interrupts, which is not needed in either GQ or DQ queue
formats.

As a result, TX timeouts with the DQ queue format likely would have
triggered early resets without kicking the queue at all.

This patch drops the check for pending work altogether and always kicks
the queue after validating the queue has not seen a TX timeout too
recently.

<title>gve: add missing NULL check for gve_alloc_pending_packet() in TX DQO</title>

gve_alloc_pending_packet() can return NULL, but gve_tx_add_skb_dqo()
did not check for this case before dereferencing the returned pointer.

Add a missing NULL check to prevent a potential NULL pointer
dereference when allocation fails.

This improves robustness in low-memory scenarios.

Previously, the RX_BUFFERS_POSTED stat incorrectly reported the
fill_cnt from RX queue 0 for all queues, resulting in inaccurate
per-queue statistics.
Fix this by correctly indexing priv-&gt;rx[idx].fill_cnt for each RX queue.

Commit 03df156dd3a6 ("xdp: double protect netdev-&gt;xdp_flags with
netdev-&gt;lock") introduces the netdev lock to xdp_set_features_flag().
The change includes a _locked version of the method, as it is possible
for a driver to have already acquired the netdev lock before calling
this helper. However, the same applies to
xdp_features_(set|clear)_redirect_flags(), which ends up calling the
unlocked version of xdp_set_features_flags() leading to deadlocks in
GVE, which grabs the netdev lock as part of its suspend, reset, and
shutdown processes:

<title>net: ethtool: Adjust exactly ETH_GSTRING_LEN-long stats to use memcpy</title>
<updated>2025-04-18T01:53:52+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Kees Cook</name>
<email>kees@kernel.org</email>
</author>
<published>2025-04-16T01:02:15+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=151e13ece86d234213b7f224f0e26a957c0eeb3e'/>
<id>151e13ece86d234213b7f224f0e26a957c0eeb3e</id>
<content type='text'>
Many drivers populate the stats buffer using C-String based APIs (e.g.
ethtool_sprintf() and ethtool_puts()), usually when building up the
list of stats individually (i.e. with a for() loop). This, however,
requires that the source strings be populated in such a way as to have
a terminating NUL byte in the source.

Other drivers populate the stats buffer directly using one big memcpy()
of an entire array of strings. No NUL termination is needed here, as the
bytes are being directly passed through. Yet others will build up the
stats buffer individually, but also use memcpy(). This, too, does not
need NUL termination of the source strings.

However, there are cases where the strings that populate the
source stats strings are exactly ETH_GSTRING_LEN long, and GCC
15's -Wunterminated-string-initialization option complains that the
trailing NUL byte has been truncated. This situation is fine only if the
driver is using the memcpy() approach. If the C-String APIs are used,
the destination string name will have its final byte truncated by the
required trailing NUL byte applied by the C-string API.

For drivers that are already using memcpy() but have initializers that
truncate the NUL terminator, mark their source strings as __nonstring to
silence the GCC warnings.

For drivers that have initializers that truncate the NUL terminator and
are using the C-String APIs, switch to memcpy() to avoid destination
string truncation and mark their source strings as __nonstring to silence
the GCC warnings. (Also introduce ethtool_cpy() as a helper to make this
an easy replacement).

Specifically the following warnings were investigated and addressed:

../drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb/cxgb2.c:364:9: warning: initializer-string for array of 'char' truncates NUL terminator but destination lacks 'nonstring' attribute (33 chars into 32 available) [-Wunterminated-string-initialization]

Many drivers populate the stats buffer using C-String based APIs (e.g.
ethtool_sprintf() and ethtool_puts()), usually when building up the
list of stats individually (i.e. with a for() loop). This, however,
requires that the source strings be populated in such a way as to have
a terminating NUL byte in the source.

Other drivers populate the stats buffer directly using one big memcpy()
of an entire array of strings. No NUL termination is needed here, as the
bytes are being directly passed through. Yet others will build up the
stats buffer individually, but also use memcpy(). This, too, does not
need NUL termination of the source strings.

However, there are cases where the strings that populate the
source stats strings are exactly ETH_GSTRING_LEN long, and GCC
15's -Wunterminated-string-initialization option complains that the
trailing NUL byte has been truncated. This situation is fine only if the
driver is using the memcpy() approach. If the C-String APIs are used,
the destination string name will have its final byte truncated by the
required trailing NUL byte applied by the C-string API.

For drivers that are already using memcpy() but have initializers that
truncate the NUL terminator, mark their source strings as __nonstring to
silence the GCC warnings.

For drivers that have initializers that truncate the NUL terminator and
are using the C-String APIs, switch to memcpy() to avoid destination
string truncation and mark their source strings as __nonstring to silence
the GCC warnings. (Also introduce ethtool_cpy() as a helper to make this
an easy replacement).

Specifically the following warnings were investigated and addressed:

Protect xdp_features with netdev-&gt;lock. This way pure readers
no longer have to take rtnl_lock to access the field.

This includes calling NETDEV_XDP_FEAT_CHANGE under the lock.
Looks like that's fine for bonding, the only "real" listener,
it's the same as ethtool feature change.

In terms of normal drivers - only GVE need special consideration
(other drivers don't use instance lock or don't support XDP).
It calls xdp_set_features_flag() helper from gve_init_priv() which
in turn is called from gve_reset_recovery() (locked), or prior
to netdev registration. So switch to _locked.

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree
over and remove the historical wrapper inlines.

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.
