Replace all the occurrences of FIELD_SIZEOF() with sizeof_field() except
at places where these are defined. Later patches will remove the unused
definition of FIELD_SIZEOF().

This patch is generated using following script:

EXCLUDE_FILES="include/linux/stddef.h|include/linux/kernel.h"

git grep -l -e "\bFIELD_SIZEOF\b" | while read file;
do

	if [[ "$file" =~ $EXCLUDE_FILES ]]; then
		continue
	fi
	sed -i  -e 's/\bFIELD_SIZEOF\b/sizeof_field/g' $file;
done

<title>inet: protect against too small mtu values.</title>

<content type='text'>
syzbot was once again able to crash a host by setting a very small mtu
on loopback device.

Let's make inetdev_valid_mtu() available in include/net/ip.h,
and use it in ip_setup_cork(), so that we protect both ip_append_page()
and __ip_append_data()

Also add a READ_ONCE() when the device mtu is read.

Pairs this lockless read with one WRITE_ONCE() in __dev_set_mtu(),
even if other code paths might write over this field.

Add a big comment in include/linux/netdevice.h about dev-&gt;mtu
needing READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() annotations.

Hopefully we will add the missing ones in followup patches.

<title>net: core: allow fast GRO for skbs with Ethernet header in head</title>

<id>8aef998df3979faa19626acf889abecb733342db</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit 78d3fd0b7de8 ("gro: Only use skb_gro_header for completely
non-linear packets") back in May'09 (v2.6.31-rc1) has changed the
original condition '!skb_headlen(skb)' to
'skb-&gt;mac_header == skb-&gt;tail' in gro_reset_offset() saying: "Since
the drivers that need this optimisation all provide completely
non-linear packets" (note that this condition has become the current
'skb_mac_header(skb) == skb_tail_pointer(skb)' later with commmit
ced14f6804a9 ("net: Correct comparisons and calculations using
skb-&gt;tail and skb-transport_header") without any functional changes).

For now, we have the following rough statistics for v5.4-rc7:
1) napi_gro_frags: 14
2) napi_gro_receive with skb-&gt;head containing (most of) payload: 83
3) napi_gro_receive with skb-&gt;head containing all the headers: 20
4) napi_gro_receive with skb-&gt;head containing only Ethernet header: 2

With the current condition, fast GRO with the usage of
NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)-&gt;frag0 is available only in the [1] case.
Packets pushed by [2] and [3] go through the 'slow' path, but
it's not a problem for them as they already contain all the needed
headers in skb-&gt;head, so pskb_may_pull() only moves skb-&gt;data.

The layout of skbs in the fourth [4] case at the moment of
dev_gro_receive() is identical to skbs that have come through [1],
as napi_frags_skb() pulls Ethernet header to skb-&gt;head. The only
difference is that the mentioned condition is always false for them,
because skb_put() and friends irreversibly alter the tail pointer.
They also go through the 'slow' path, but now every single
pskb_may_pull() in every single .gro_receive() will call the *really*
slow __pskb_pull_tail() to pull headers to head. This significantly
decreases the overall performance for no visible reasons.

The only two users of method [4] is:
* drivers/staging/qlge
* drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi (all three variants: dvm, mvm, mvm-mq)

Note that in case with wireless drivers we can't use [1]
(napi_gro_frags()) at least for now and mac80211 stack always
performs pushes and pulls anyways, so performance hit is inavoidable.

At the moment of v2.6.31 the mentioned change was necessary (that's
why I don't add the "Fixes:" tag), but it became obsolete since
skb_gro_mac_header() has gone in commit a50e233c50db ("net-gro:
restore frag0 optimization"), so we can simply revert the condition
in gro_reset_offset() to allow skbs from [4] go through the 'fast'
path just like in case [1].

This was tested on a 600 MHz MIPS CPU and a custom driver and this
patch gave boosts up to 40 Mbps to method [4] in both directions
comparing to net-next, which made overall performance relatively
close to [1] (without it, [4] is the slowest).

v2:
- Add more references and explanations to commit message
- Fix some typos ibid
- No functional changes

The only slightly tricky merge conflict was the netdevsim because the
mutex locking fix overlapped a lot of driver reload reorganization.

The rest were (relatively) trivial in nature.

<content type='text'>
When netdevice with offloaded BPF programs is destroyed
the programs are orphaned and removed from the program
IDA - their IDs get released (the programs may remain
accessible via existing open file descriptors and pinned
files). After IDs are released they are set to 0.

This confuses dev_change_xdp_fd() because it compares
the __dev_xdp_query() result where 0 means no program
with prog-&gt;aux-&gt;id where 0 means orphaned.

dev_change_xdp_fd() would have incorrectly returned success
even though it had not installed the program.

Since drivers already catch this case via bpf_offload_dev_match()
let them handle this case. The error message drivers produce in
this case ("program loaded for a different device") is in fact
correct as the orphaned program must had to be loaded for a
different device.

Since drivers already catch this case via bpf_offload_dev_match()
let them handle this case. The error message drivers produce in
this case ("program loaded for a different device") is in fact
correct as the orphaned program must had to be loaded for a
different device.

intuitively appealing rcu_replace_pointer() as a step towards removing
rcu_swap_protected().
