Pull USB/Thunderbolt fixes from Greg KH:
 "Here are a number of small USB driver fixes for 5.6-rc3.

  Included in here are:
  - MAINTAINER file updates
  - USB gadget driver fixes
  - usb core quirk additions and fixes for regressions
  - xhci driver fixes
  - usb serial driver id additions and fixes
  - thunderbolt bugfix

  Thunderbolt patches come in through here now that USB4 is really
  thunderbolt.

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

QEMU has a funny new build error message when I use the upstream kernel
headers:

This was triggered by commit d5767057c9a ("uapi: rename ext2_swab() to
swab() and share globally in swab.h").  That patch is doing

  #include &lt;asm/bitsperlong.h&gt;

but it uses BITS_PER_LONG.

The kernel file asm/bitsperlong.h provide only __BITS_PER_LONG.

Let us use the __ variant in swap.h

There are no in-kernel users remaining, but there may still be users that
include linux/time.h instead of sys/time.h from user space, so leave the
types available to user space while hiding them from kernel space.

Only the __kernel_old_* versions of these types remain now.

Netfilter fixes for net

This batch contains Netfilter fixes for net:

1) Restrict hashlimit size to 1048576, from Cong Wang.

2) Check for offload flags from nf_flow_table_offload_setup(),
   this fixes a crash in case the hardware offload is disabled.
   From Florian Westphal.

3) Three preparation patches to extend the conntrack clash resolution,
   from Florian.

4) Extend clash resolution to deal with DNS packets from the same flow
   racing to set up the NAT configuration.

5) Small documentation fix in pipapo, from Stefano Brivio.

6) Remove misleading unlikely() from pipapo_refill(), also from Stefano.

7) Reduce hashlimit mutex scope, from Cong Wang. This patch is actually
   triggering another problem, still under discussion, another patch to
   fix this will follow up.

The performance of bpf_redirect() is now roughly the same as that of
bpf_redirect_map(). However, David Ahern pointed out that the header file
has not been updated to reflect this, and still says that a significant
performance increase is possible when using bpf_redirect_map(). Remove this
text from the bpf_redirect_map() description, and reword the description in
bpf_redirect() slightly. Also fix the 'Return' section of the
bpf_redirect_map() documentation.

<title>netfilter: conntrack: allow insertion of clashing entries</title>

<id>6a757c07e51f80ac34325fcd558490d2d1439e1b</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch further relaxes the need to drop an skb due to a clash with
an existing conntrack entry.

Current clash resolution handles the case where the clash occurs between
two identical entries (distinct nf_conn objects with same tuples), i.e.:

                    Original                        Reply
existing: 10.2.3.4:42 -&gt; 10.8.8.8:53      10.2.3.4:42 &lt;- 10.0.0.6:5353
clashing: 10.2.3.4:42 -&gt; 10.8.8.8:53      10.2.3.4:42 &lt;- 10.0.0.6:5353

... existing handling will discard the unconfirmed clashing entry and
makes skb-&gt;_nfct point to the existing one.  The skb can then be
processed normally just as if the clash would not have existed in the
first place.

For other clashes, the skb needs to be dropped.
This frequently happens with DNS resolvers that send A and AAAA queries
back-to-back when NAT rules are present that cause packets to get
different DNAT transformations applied, for example:

-m statistics --mode random ... -j DNAT --dnat-to 10.0.0.6:5353
-m statistics --mode random ... -j DNAT --dnat-to 10.0.0.7:5353

In this case the A or AAAA query is dropped which incurs a costly
delay during name resolution.

This patch also allows this collision type:
                       Original                   Reply
existing: 10.2.3.4:42 -&gt; 10.8.8.8:53      10.2.3.4:42 &lt;- 10.0.0.6:5353
clashing: 10.2.3.4:42 -&gt; 10.8.8.8:53      10.2.3.4:42 &lt;- 10.0.0.7:5353

In this case, clash is in original direction -- the reply direction
is still unique.

The change makes it so that when the 2nd colliding packet is received,
the clashing conntrack is tagged with new IPS_NAT_CLASH_BIT, gets a fixed
1 second timeout and is inserted in the reply direction only.

The entry is hidden from 'conntrack -L', it will time out quickly
and it can be early dropped because it will never progress to the
ASSURED state.

To avoid special-casing the delete code path to special case
the ORIGINAL hlist_nulls node, a new helper, "hlist_nulls_add_fake", is
added so hlist_nulls_del() will work.

Example:

      CPU A:                               CPU B:
1.  10.2.3.4:42 -&gt; 10.8.8.8:53 (A)
2.                                         10.2.3.4:42 -&gt; 10.8.8.8:53 (AAAA)
3.  Apply DNAT, reply changed to 10.0.0.6
4.                                         10.2.3.4:42 -&gt; 10.8.8.8:53 (AAAA)
5.                                         Apply DNAT, reply changed to 10.0.0.7
6. confirm/commit to conntrack table, no collisions
7.                                         commit clashing entry

Reply comes in:

10.2.3.4:42 &lt;- 10.0.0.6:5353 (A)
 -&gt; Finds a conntrack, DNAT is reversed &amp; packet forwarded to 10.2.3.4:42
10.2.3.4:42 &lt;- 10.0.0.7:5353 (AAAA)
 -&gt; Finds a conntrack, DNAT is reversed &amp; packet forwarded to 10.2.3.4:42
    The conntrack entry is deleted from table, as it has the NAT_CLASH
    bit set.

In case of a retransmit from ORIGINAL dir, all further packets will get
the DNAT transformation to 10.0.0.6.

I tried to come up with other solutions but they all have worse
problems.

Alternatives considered were:
1.  Confirm ct entries at allocation time, not in postrouting.
 a. will cause uneccesarry work when the skb that creates the
    conntrack is dropped by ruleset.
 b. in case nat is applied, ct entry would need to be moved in
    the table, which requires another spinlock pair to be taken.
 c. breaks the 'unconfirmed entry is private to cpu' assumption:
    we would need to guard all nfct-&gt;ext allocation requests with
    ct-&gt;lock spinlock.

2. Make the unconfirmed list a hash table instead of a pcpu list.
   Shares drawback c) of the first alternative.

3. Document this is expected and force users to rearrange their
   ruleset (e.g. by using "-m cluster" instead of "-m statistics").
   nft has the 'jhash' expression which can be used instead of 'numgen'.

   Major drawback: doesn't fix what I consider a bug, not very realistic
   and I believe its reasonable to have the existing rulesets to 'just
   work'.

4. Document this is expected and force users to steer problematic
   packets to the same CPU -- this would serialize the "allocate new
   conntrack entry/nat table evaluation/perform nat/confirm entry", so
   no race can occur.  Similar drawback to 3.

Another advantage of this patch compared to 1) and 2) is that there are
no changes to the hot path; things are handled in the udp tracker and
the clash resolution path.

Pull new zonefs file system from Damien Le Moal:
 "Zonefs is a very simple file system exposing each zone of a zoned
  block device as a file.

  Unlike a regular file system with native zoned block device support
  (e.g. f2fs or the on-going btrfs effort), zonefs does not hide the
  sequential write constraint of zoned block devices to the user. As a
  result, zonefs is not a POSIX compliant file system. Its goal is to
  simplify the implementation of zoned block devices support in
  applications by replacing raw block device file accesses with a richer
  file based API, avoiding relying on direct block device file ioctls
  which may be more obscure to developers.

  One example of this approach is the implementation of LSM
  (log-structured merge) tree structures (such as used in RocksDB and
  LevelDB) on zoned block devices by allowing SSTables to be stored in a
  zone file similarly to a regular file system rather than as a range of
  sectors of a zoned device. The introduction of the higher level
  construct "one file is one zone" can help reducing the amount of
  changes needed in the application while at the same time allowing the
  use of zoned block devices with various programming languages other
  than C.

  Zonefs IO management implementation uses the new iomap generic code.
  Zonefs has been successfully tested using a functional test suite
  (available with zonefs userland format tool on github) and a prototype
  implementation of LevelDB on top of zonefs"
