n-&gt;output field can be read locklessly, while a writer
might change the pointer concurrently.

Add missing annotations to prevent load-store tearing.

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "Long ago we set out to remove the kitchen sink on kernel/sysctl.c
  arrays and placings sysctls to their own sybsystem or file to help
  avoid merge conflicts. Matthew Wilcox pointed out though that if we're
  going to do that we might as well also *save* space while at it and
  try to remove the extra last sysctl entry added at the end of each
  array, a sentintel, instead of bloating the kernel by adding a new
  sentinel with each array moved.

  Doing that was not so trivial, and has required slowing down the moves
  of kernel/sysctl.c arrays and measuring the impact on size by each new
  move.

  The complex part of the effort to help reduce the size of each sysctl
  is being done by the patient work of el señor Don Joel Granados. A lot
  of this is truly painful code refactoring and testing and then trying
  to measure the savings of each move and removing the sentinels.
  Although Joel already has code which does most of this work,
  experience with sysctl moves in the past shows is we need to be
  careful due to the slew of odd build failures that are possible due to
  the amount of random Kconfig options sysctls use.

  To that end Joel's work is split by first addressing the major
  housekeeping needed to remove the sentinels, which is part of this
  merge request. The rest of the work to actually remove the sentinels
  will be done later in future kernel releases.

  The preliminary math is showing this will all help reduce the overall
  build time size of the kernel and run time memory consumed by the
  kernel by about ~64 bytes per array where we are able to remove each
  sentinel in the future. That also means there is no more bloating the
  kernel with the extra ~64 bytes per array moved as no new sentinels
  are created"

Move from register_net_sysctl to register_net_sysctl_sz for all the
netfilter related files. Do this while making sure to mirror the NULL
assignments with a table_size of zero for the unprivileged users.

We need to move to the new function in preparation for when we change
SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE() in the register_net_sysctl macro. Failing to do
so would erroneously allow ARRAY_SIZE() to be called on a pointer. We
hold off the SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE change until we have migrated all
the relevant net sysctl registering functions to register_net_sysctl_sz
in subsequent commits.

<title>net: switchdev: Add a helper to replay objects on a bridge port</title>

When a front panel joins a bridge via another netdevice (typically a LAG),
the driver needs to learn about the objects configured on the bridge port.
When the bridge port is offloaded by the driver for the first time, this
can be achieved by passing a notifier to switchdev_bridge_port_offload().
The notifier is then invoked for the individual objects (such as VLANs)
configured on the bridge, and can look for the interesting ones.

Calling switchdev_bridge_port_offload() when the second port joins the
bridge lower is unnecessary, but the replay is still needed. To that end,
add a new function, switchdev_bridge_port_replay(), which does only the
replay part of the _offload() function in exactly the same way as that
function.

<title>net: bridge: br_switchdev: Tolerate -EOPNOTSUPP when replaying MDB</title>

<id>989280d6ea70b2d91b8b0e20ac11a6529a37ac08</id>
<content type='text'>
There are two kinds of MDB entries to be replayed: port MDB entries, and
host MDB entries. They are both replayed by br_switchdev_mdb_replay(). If
the driver supports one kind, but lacks the other, the first -EOPNOTSUPP
returned terminates the whole replay, including any further still-supported
objects in the list.

For this to cause issues, there must be MDB entries for both the host and
the port being replayed. In that case, if the driver bails out from
handling the host entry, the port entries are never replayed. However, the
replay is currently only done when a switchdev port joins a bridge. There
would be no port memberships at that point. Thus despite being erroneous,
the code does not cause observable bugs.

This is not an issue with other object kinds either, because there, each
function replays one object kind. If a driver does not support that kind,
it makes sense to bail out early. -EOPNOTSUPP is then ignored in
nbp_switchdev_sync_objs().

For MDB, suppress the -EOPNOTSUPP error code in br_switchdev_mdb_replay()
already, so that the whole list gets replayed.

The reason we need this patch is that a future patch will introduce a
replay that should be used when a front-panel port netdevice is enslaved to
a bridge lower, in particular a LAG. The LAG netdevice can already have
both host and port MDB entries. The port entries need to be replayed so
that they are offloaded on the port that joins the LAG.

<title>bridge: Add backup nexthop ID support</title>

<id>29cfb2aaa4425a608651a05b9b875bc445394443</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new bridge port attribute that allows attaching a nexthop object
ID to an skb that is redirected to a backup bridge port with VLAN
tunneling enabled.

Specifically, when redirecting a known unicast packet, read the backup
nexthop ID from the bridge port that lost its carrier and set it in the
bridge control block of the skb before forwarding it via the backup
port. Note that reading the ID from the bridge port should not result in
a cache miss as the ID is added next to the 'backup_port' field that was
already accessed. After this change, the 'state' field still stays on
the first cache line, together with other data path related fields such
as 'flags and 'vlgrp':

struct net_bridge_port {
        struct net_bridge *        br;                   /*     0     8 */
        struct net_device *        dev;                  /*     8     8 */
        netdevice_tracker          dev_tracker;          /*    16     0 */
        struct list_head           list;                 /*    16    16 */
        long unsigned int          flags;                /*    32     8 */
        struct net_bridge_vlan_group * vlgrp;            /*    40     8 */
        struct net_bridge_port *   backup_port;          /*    48     8 */
        u32                        backup_nhid;          /*    56     4 */
        u8                         priority;             /*    60     1 */
        u8                         state;                /*    61     1 */
        u16                        port_no;              /*    62     2 */
        /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
[...]
} __attribute__((__aligned__(8)));

When forwarding an skb via a bridge port that has VLAN tunneling
enabled, check if the backup nexthop ID stored in the bridge control
block is valid (i.e., not zero). If so, instead of attaching the
pre-allocated metadata (that only has the tunnel key set), allocate a
new metadata, set both the tunnel key and the nexthop object ID and
attach it to the skb.

By default, do not dump the new attribute to user space as a value of
zero is an invalid nexthop object ID.

The above is useful for EVPN multihoming. When one of the links
composing an Ethernet Segment (ES) fails, traffic needs to be redirected
towards the host via one of the other ES peers. For example, if a host
is multihomed to three different VTEPs, the backup port of each ES link
needs to be set to the VXLAN device and the backup nexthop ID needs to
point to an FDB nexthop group that includes the IP addresses of the
other two VTEPs. The VXLAN driver will extract the ID from the metadata
of the redirected skb, calculate its flow hash and forward it towards
one of the other VTEPs. If the ID does not exist, or represents an
invalid nexthop object, the VXLAN driver will drop the skb. This
relieves the bridge driver from the need to validate the ID.

<title>net: bridge: keep ports without IFF_UNICAST_FLT in BR_PROMISC mode</title>

According to the synchronization rules for .ndo_get_stats() as seen in
Documentation/networking/netdevices.rst, acquiring a plain spin_lock()
should not be illegal, but the bridge driver implementation makes it so.

After running these commands, I am being faced with the following
lockdep splat:

$ ip link add link swp0 name macsec0 type macsec encrypt on &amp;&amp; ip link set swp0 up
$ ip link add dev br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1 &amp;&amp; ip link set br0 up
$ ip link set macsec0 master br0 &amp;&amp; ip link set macsec0 up

  ========================================================
  WARNING: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected
  6.4.0-04295-g31b577b4bd4a #603 Not tainted
  --------------------------------------------------------
  swapper/1/0 just changed the state of lock:
  ffff6bd348724cd8 (&amp;br-&gt;lock){+.-.}-{3:3}, at: br_forward_delay_timer_expired+0x34/0x198
  but this lock took another, SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock in the past:
   (&amp;ocelot-&gt;stats_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}

  and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.

  other info that might help us debug this:
  Chain exists of:
    &amp;br-&gt;lock --&gt; &amp;br-&gt;hash_lock --&gt; &amp;ocelot-&gt;stats_lock

   Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:

         CPU0                    CPU1
         ----                    ----
    lock(&amp;ocelot-&gt;stats_lock);
                                 local_irq_disable();
                                 lock(&amp;br-&gt;lock);
                                 lock(&amp;br-&gt;hash_lock);
    &lt;Interrupt&gt;
      lock(&amp;br-&gt;lock);

   *** DEADLOCK ***

(details about the 3 locks skipped)

swp0 is instantiated by drivers/net/dsa/ocelot/felix.c, and this
only matters to the extent that its .ndo_get_stats64() method calls
spin_lock(&amp;ocelot-&gt;stats_lock).

Documentation/locking/lockdep-design.rst says:

| A lock is irq-safe means it was ever used in an irq context, while a lock
| is irq-unsafe means it was ever acquired with irq enabled.

(...)

| Furthermore, the following usage based lock dependencies are not allowed
| between any two lock-classes::
|
|    &lt;hardirq-safe&gt;   -&gt;  &lt;hardirq-unsafe&gt;
|    &lt;softirq-safe&gt;   -&gt;  &lt;softirq-unsafe&gt;

Lockdep marks br-&gt;hash_lock as softirq-safe, because it is sometimes
taken in softirq context (for example br_fdb_update() which runs in
NET_RX softirq), and when it's not in softirq context it blocks softirqs
by using spin_lock_bh().

Lockdep marks ocelot-&gt;stats_lock as softirq-unsafe, because it never
blocks softirqs from running, and it is never taken from softirq
context. So it can always be interrupted by softirqs.

There is a call path through which a function that holds br-&gt;hash_lock:
fdb_add_hw_addr() will call a function that acquires ocelot-&gt;stats_lock:
ocelot_port_get_stats64(). This can be seen below:

the plain English explanation for it is:

The macsec0 bridge port is created without p-&gt;flags &amp; BR_PROMISC,
because it is what br_manage_promisc() decides for a VLAN filtering
bridge with a single auto port.

As part of the br_add_if() procedure, br_fdb_add_local() is called for
the MAC address of the device, and this results in a call to
dev_uc_add() for macsec0 while the softirq-safe br-&gt;hash_lock is taken.

Because macsec0 does not have IFF_UNICAST_FLT, dev_uc_add() ends up
calling __dev_set_promiscuity() for macsec0, which is propagated by its
implementation, macsec_dev_change_rx_flags(), to the lower device: swp0.
This triggers the call path:

dev_set_promiscuity(swp0)
-&gt; rtmsg_ifinfo()
   -&gt; dev_get_stats()
      -&gt; ocelot_port_get_stats64()

with a calling context that lockdep doesn't like (br-&gt;hash_lock held).

Normally we don't see this, because even though many drivers that can be
bridge ports don't support IFF_UNICAST_FLT, we need a driver that

(a) doesn't support IFF_UNICAST_FLT, *and*
(b) it forwards the IFF_PROMISC flag to another driver, and
(c) *that* driver implements ndo_get_stats64() using a softirq-unsafe
    spinlock.

Condition (b) is necessary because the first __dev_set_rx_mode() calls
__dev_set_promiscuity() with "bool notify=false", and thus, the
rtmsg_ifinfo() code path won't be entered.

The same criteria also hold true for DSA switches which don't report
IFF_UNICAST_FLT. When the DSA master uses a spin_lock() in its
ndo_get_stats64() method, the same lockdep splat can be seen.

I think the deadlock possibility is real, even though I didn't reproduce
it, and I'm thinking of the following situation to support that claim:

fdb_add_hw_addr() runs on a CPU A, in a context with softirqs locally
disabled and br-&gt;hash_lock held, and may end up attempting to acquire
ocelot-&gt;stats_lock.

In parallel, ocelot-&gt;stats_lock is currently held by a thread B (say,
ocelot_check_stats_work()), which is interrupted while holding it by a
softirq which attempts to lock br-&gt;hash_lock.

Thread B cannot make progress because br-&gt;hash_lock is held by A. Whereas
thread A cannot make progress because ocelot-&gt;stats_lock is held by B.

When taking the issue at face value, the bridge can avoid that problem
by simply making the ports promiscuous from a code path with a saner
calling context (br-&gt;hash_lock not held). A bridge port without
IFF_UNICAST_FLT is going to become promiscuous as soon as we call
dev_uc_add() on it (which we do unconditionally), so why not be
preemptive and make it promiscuous right from the beginning, so as to
not be taken by surprise.

With this, we've broken the links between code that holds br-&gt;hash_lock
or br-&gt;lock and code that calls into the ndo_change_rx_flags() or
ndo_get_stats64() ops of the bridge port.

According to the synchronization rules for .ndo_get_stats() as seen in
Documentation/networking/netdevices.rst, acquiring a plain spin_lock()
should not be illegal, but the bridge driver implementation makes it so.

After running these commands, I am being faced with the following
lockdep splat:

$ ip link add link swp0 name macsec0 type macsec encrypt on &amp;&amp; ip link set swp0 up
$ ip link add dev br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1 &amp;&amp; ip link set br0 up
$ ip link set macsec0 master br0 &amp;&amp; ip link set macsec0 up

   *** DEADLOCK ***

(details about the 3 locks skipped)

swp0 is instantiated by drivers/net/dsa/ocelot/felix.c, and this
only matters to the extent that its .ndo_get_stats64() method calls
spin_lock(&amp;ocelot-&gt;stats_lock).

Documentation/locking/lockdep-design.rst says:

| A lock is irq-safe means it was ever used in an irq context, while a lock
| is irq-unsafe means it was ever acquired with irq enabled.

(...)

| Furthermore, the following usage based lock dependencies are not allowed
| between any two lock-classes::
|
|    &lt;hardirq-safe&gt;   -&gt;  &lt;hardirq-unsafe&gt;
|    &lt;softirq-safe&gt;   -&gt;  &lt;softirq-unsafe&gt;

Lockdep marks br-&gt;hash_lock as softirq-safe, because it is sometimes
taken in softirq context (for example br_fdb_update() which runs in
NET_RX softirq), and when it's not in softirq context it blocks softirqs
by using spin_lock_bh().

Lockdep marks ocelot-&gt;stats_lock as softirq-unsafe, because it never
blocks softirqs from running, and it is never taken from softirq
context. So it can always be interrupted by softirqs.

There is a call path through which a function that holds br-&gt;hash_lock:
fdb_add_hw_addr() will call a function that acquires ocelot-&gt;stats_lock:
ocelot_port_get_stats64(). This can be seen below:
