Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1.

  Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening
  in the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and
  "struct class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these
  changes.

  This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more
  "provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules
  for all busses and classes in the kernel.

  The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
  busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
  instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various
  subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most
  of them actually did so.

  Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other
  things:

   - kobject logging improvements

   - cacheinfo improvements and updates

   - obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes

   - documentation updates

   - device property cleanups and const * changes

   - firwmare loader dependency fixes.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  problems"

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core:

   - Introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Increasing the
     default value allows for better BIG TCP performances

   - Reduce compound page head access for zero-copy data transfers

   - RPS/RFS improvements, avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when
     possible

   - Threaded NAPI improvements, adding defer skb free support and
     unneeded softirq avoidance

   - Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues, via false
     sharing avoidance and optimize refcount tracking

   - Add lockless accesses annotation to sk_err[_soft]

   - Optimize again the skb struct layout

   - Extends the skb drop reasons to make it usable by multiple
     subsystems

   - Better const qualifier awareness for socket casts

  BPF:

   - Add skb and XDP typed dynptrs which allow BPF programs for more
     ergonomic and less brittle iteration through data and
     variable-sized accesses

   - Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook
     BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward

   - Add more precise memory usage reporting for all BPF map types

   - Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device
     operating in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for
     controlling encap params

   - Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular
     kfunc exists or not, and also add support for this in light
     skeleton

   - Bigger batch of BPF verifier improvements to prepare for upcoming
     BPF open-coded iterators allowing for less restrictive looping
     capabilities

   - Rework RCU enforcement in the verifier, add kptr_rcu and enforce
     BPF programs to NULL-check before passing such pointers into kfunc

   - Add support for kptrs in percpu hashmaps, percpu LRU hashmaps and
     in local storage maps

   - Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr
     tasks to be stored in BPF maps

   - Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing
     shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and
     rbtree

   - Add BPF verifier support for ST instructions in
     convert_ctx_access() which will help new -mcpu=v4 clang flag to
     start emitting them

   - Add ARM32 USDT support to libbpf

   - Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control
     flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations

  Protocols:

   - IPv4: Allow adding to IPv4 address a 'protocol' tag. Such value
     indicates the provenance of the IP address

   - IPv6: optimize route lookup, dropping unneeded R/W lock acquisition

   - Add the handshake upcall mechanism, allowing the user-space to
     implement generic TLS handshake on kernel's behalf

   - Bridge: support per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression, increasing
     resilience to nodes failures

   - SCTP: add support for Fair Capacity and Weighted Fair Queueing
     schedulers

   - MPTCP: delay first subflow allocation up to its first usage. This
     will allow for later better LSM interaction

   - xfrm: Remove inner/outer modes from input/output path. These are
     not needed anymore

   - WiFi:
      - reduced neighbor report (RNR) handling for AP mode
      - HW timestamping support
      - support for randomized auth/deauth TA for PASN privacy
      - per-link debugfs for multi-link
      - TC offload support for mac80211 drivers
      - mac80211 mesh fast-xmit and fast-rx support
      - enable Wi-Fi 7 (EHT) mesh support

  Netfilter:

   - Add nf_tables 'brouting' support, to force a packet to be routed
     instead of being bridged

   - Update bridge netfilter and ovs conntrack helpers to handle IPv6
     Jumbo packets properly, i.e. fetch the packet length from
     hop-by-hop extension header. This is needed for BIT TCP support

   - The iptables 32bit compat interface isn't compiled in by default
     anymore

   - Move ip(6)tables builtin icmp matches to the udptcp one. This has
     the advantage that icmp/icmpv6 match doesn't load the
     iptables/ip6tables modules anymore when iptables-nft is used

   - Extended netlink error report for netdevice in flowtables and
     netdev/chains. Allow for incrementally add/delete devices to netdev
     basechain. Allow to create netdev chain without device

  Driver API:

   - Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable, as PCI core
     has already error reporting enabled at enumeration time

   - Move Multicast DB netlink handlers to core, allowing devices other
     then bridge to use them

   - Allow the page_pool to directly recycle the pages from safely
     localized NAPI

   - Implement lockless TX queue stop/wake combo macros, allowing for
     further code de-duplication and sanitization

   - Add YNL support for user headers and struct attrs

   - Add partial YNL specification for devlink

   - Add partial YNL specification for ethtool

   - Add tc-mqprio and tc-taprio support for preemptible traffic classes

   - Add tx push buf len param to ethtool, specifies the maximum number
     of bytes of a transmitted packet a driver can push directly to the
     underlying device

   - Add basic LED support for switch/phy

   - Add NAPI documentation, stop relaying on external links

   - Convert dsa_master_ioctl() to netdev notifier. This is a
     preparatory work to make the hardware timestamping layer selectable
     by user space

   - Add transceiver support and improve the error messages for CAN-FD
     controllers

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core:

   - Introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Increasing the
     default value allows for better BIG TCP performances

   - Reduce compound page head access for zero-copy data transfers

   - RPS/RFS improvements, avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when
     possible

   - Threaded NAPI improvements, adding defer skb free support and
     unneeded softirq avoidance

   - Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues, via false
     sharing avoidance and optimize refcount tracking

   - Add lockless accesses annotation to sk_err[_soft]

   - Optimize again the skb struct layout

   - Extends the skb drop reasons to make it usable by multiple
     subsystems

   - Better const qualifier awareness for socket casts

  BPF:

   - Add skb and XDP typed dynptrs which allow BPF programs for more
     ergonomic and less brittle iteration through data and
     variable-sized accesses

   - Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook
     BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward

   - Add more precise memory usage reporting for all BPF map types

   - Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device
     operating in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for
     controlling encap params

   - Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular
     kfunc exists or not, and also add support for this in light
     skeleton

   - Bigger batch of BPF verifier improvements to prepare for upcoming
     BPF open-coded iterators allowing for less restrictive looping
     capabilities

   - Rework RCU enforcement in the verifier, add kptr_rcu and enforce
     BPF programs to NULL-check before passing such pointers into kfunc

   - Add support for kptrs in percpu hashmaps, percpu LRU hashmaps and
     in local storage maps

   - Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr
     tasks to be stored in BPF maps

   - Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing
     shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and
     rbtree

   - Add BPF verifier support for ST instructions in
     convert_ctx_access() which will help new -mcpu=v4 clang flag to
     start emitting them

   - Add ARM32 USDT support to libbpf

   - Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control
     flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations

  Protocols:

   - IPv4: Allow adding to IPv4 address a 'protocol' tag. Such value
     indicates the provenance of the IP address

   - IPv6: optimize route lookup, dropping unneeded R/W lock acquisition

   - Add the handshake upcall mechanism, allowing the user-space to
     implement generic TLS handshake on kernel's behalf

   - Bridge: support per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression, increasing
     resilience to nodes failures

   - SCTP: add support for Fair Capacity and Weighted Fair Queueing
     schedulers

   - MPTCP: delay first subflow allocation up to its first usage. This
     will allow for later better LSM interaction

   - xfrm: Remove inner/outer modes from input/output path. These are
     not needed anymore

   - WiFi:
      - reduced neighbor report (RNR) handling for AP mode
      - HW timestamping support
      - support for randomized auth/deauth TA for PASN privacy
      - per-link debugfs for multi-link
      - TC offload support for mac80211 drivers
      - mac80211 mesh fast-xmit and fast-rx support
      - enable Wi-Fi 7 (EHT) mesh support

  Netfilter:

   - Add nf_tables 'brouting' support, to force a packet to be routed
     instead of being bridged

   - Update bridge netfilter and ovs conntrack helpers to handle IPv6
     Jumbo packets properly, i.e. fetch the packet length from
     hop-by-hop extension header. This is needed for BIT TCP support

   - The iptables 32bit compat interface isn't compiled in by default
     anymore

   - Move ip(6)tables builtin icmp matches to the udptcp one. This has
     the advantage that icmp/icmpv6 match doesn't load the
     iptables/ip6tables modules anymore when iptables-nft is used

   - Extended netlink error report for netdevice in flowtables and
     netdev/chains. Allow for incrementally add/delete devices to netdev
     basechain. Allow to create netdev chain without device

  Driver API:

   - Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable, as PCI core
     has already error reporting enabled at enumeration time

   - Move Multicast DB netlink handlers to core, allowing devices other
     then bridge to use them

   - Allow the page_pool to directly recycle the pages from safely
     localized NAPI

   - Implement lockless TX queue stop/wake combo macros, allowing for
     further code de-duplication and sanitization

   - Add YNL support for user headers and struct attrs

   - Add partial YNL specification for devlink

   - Add partial YNL specification for ethtool

   - Add tc-mqprio and tc-taprio support for preemptible traffic classes

   - Add tx push buf len param to ethtool, specifies the maximum number
     of bytes of a transmitted packet a driver can push directly to the
     underlying device

   - Add basic LED support for switch/phy

   - Add NAPI documentation, stop relaying on external links

   - Convert dsa_master_ioctl() to netdev notifier. This is a
     preparatory work to make the hardware timestamping layer selectable
     by user space

   - Add transceiver support and improve the error messages for CAN-FD
     controllers

Pull user work thread updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the work generalizing the ability to create a kernel
  worker from a userspace process.

  Such user workers will run with the same credentials as the userspace
  process they were created from providing stronger security and
  accounting guarantees than the traditional override_creds() approach
  ever could've hoped for.

  The original work was heavily based and optimzed for the needs of
  io_uring which was the first user. However, as it quickly turned out
  the ability to create user workers inherting properties from a
  userspace process is generally useful.

  The vhost subsystem currently creates workers using the kthread api.
  The consequences of using the kthread api are that RLIMITs don't work
  correctly as they are inherited from khtreadd. This leads to bugs
  where more workers are created than would be allowed by the RLIMITs of
  the userspace process in lieu of which workers are created.

  Problems like this disappear with user workers created from the
  userspace processes for which they perform the work. In addition,
  providing this api allows vhost to remove additional complexity. For
  example, cgroup and mm sharing will just work out of the box with user
  workers based on the relevant userspace process instead of manually
  ensuring the correct cgroup and mm contexts are used.

  So the vhost subsystem should simply be made to use the same mechanism
  as io_uring. To this end the original mechanism used for
  create_io_thread() is generalized into user workers:

   - Introduce PF_USER_WORKER as a generic indicator that a given task
     is a user worker, i.e., a kernel task that was created from a
     userspace process. Now a PF_IO_WORKER thread is just a specialized
     version of PF_USER_WORKER. So io_uring io workers raise both flags.

   - Make copy_process() available to core kernel code

   - Extend struct kernel_clone_args with the following bitfields
     allowing to indicate to copy_process():
       - to create a user worker (raise PF_USER_WORKER)
       - to not inherit any files from the userspace process
       - to ignore signals

  After all generic changes are in place the vhost subsystem implements
  a new dedicated vhost api based on user workers. Finally, vhost is
  switched to rely on the new api moving it off of kthreads.

  Thanks to Mike for sticking it out and making it through this rather
  arduous journey"

   - A new tutorial on quickly building a trimmed kernel from Thorsten

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "Commit volume in documentation is relatively low this time, but there
  is still a fair amount going on, including:

   - Reorganize the architecture-specific documentation under

 "This turns singe vector imports into ITER_UBUF, rather than

While using the vdpa device with vIOMMU enabled
in the guest VM, when the vdpa device bind to vfio-pci and run testpmd
then system will fail to unmap.
The test process is
Load guest VM --&gt; attach to virtio driver--&gt; bind to vfio-pci driver
So the mapping process is
1)batched mode map to normal MR
2)batched mode unmapped the normal MR
3)unmapped all the memory
4)mapped to iommu MR

This error happened in step 3). The iotlb was freed in step 2)
and the function vhost_vdpa_process_iotlb_msg will return fail
Which causes failure.

To fix this, we will not remove the AS while the iotlb-&gt;nmaps is 0.
This will free in the vhost_vdpa_clean
