Concurrent fast-path readers access dev-&gt;prio_tc_map (e.g. via
skb_tx_hash(), netdev_get_prio_tc_map(), and qdiscs) while writers
update entries in dev-&gt;prio_tc_map or reset/clear the map via
netdev_reset_tc() and netdev_unbind_sb_channel().

Furthermore, memset() in netdev_reset_tc() and
netdev_unbind_sb_channel() provides no guarantee of performing
atomic word/byte stores.

Add READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() annotations to netdev_get_prio_tc_map()
and netdev_set_prio_tc_map(), replace memset() in dev.c with explicit
WRITE_ONCE() loops, and update direct array accesses in qdiscs to use
netdev_get_prio_tc_map().

netdev_set_tc_queue() (and related helpers/drivers such as
netdev_bind_sb_channel_queue(), netdev_reset_tc(), and
netdev_unbind_sb_channel()) perform separate 16-bit writes to
dev-&gt;tc_to_txq[tc].count and dev-&gt;tc_to_txq[tc].offset.

Furthermore, memset() in netdev_reset_tc() and
netdev_unbind_sb_channel() provides no guarantee of performing
full 32-bit word stores.

Concurrent lockless readers (e.g. skb_tx_hash(), netdev_txq_to_tc(),
ixgbe_select_queue(), taprio, mqprio, FPE drivers) can observe torn
values where offset and count belong to inconsistent configurations.

Redefine struct netdev_tc_txq to embed count and offset inside a union
with a u32 combined field, allowing atomic manipulation via
READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE().

Update all lockless readers and writers across the kernel to use
READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() on the combined field.

bpf_xdp_link_update() calls dev_xdp_install() directly and skips
dev_xdp_attach(), so the checks in dev_xdp_attach() do not run. A user can
make an XDP link with a normal program and then swap in an offloaded or
device-bound program with BPF_LINK_UPDATE, which puts it on the software
path.

dev_xdp_install() is the one place all three paths go through:
"ip link set xdp" and BPF_LINK_CREATE reach it via dev_xdp_attach(), and
BPF_LINK_UPDATE calls it directly. So move the program checks (offloaded,
bound to another device, device-bound in generic mode, native vs generic,
DEVMAP and CPUMAP) there, and keep only the netlink-flag check
(XDP_FLAGS_UPDATE_IF_NOEXIST) in dev_xdp_attach().

====================
Netfilter updates for net

This includes an enhancement to detect ct memleaks easier via
DEBUG_NET and flowtable preparation patches for IPv4 over IPV6
and vice-versa. This also includes a fix for the nft_ct custom
expectation support.

1) Add DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE to nf_ct_set() to spot ct memleaks.

2) Pass struct net_device_path_ctx to dev_fill_forward_path() to
   make it easier to pass more parameters to this function.
   From Lorenzo Bianconi.

3) Add ether_type field to net_device_path context structucture.

4) Rename tun.l3_proto field to tun.inner_proto.

5) Rename ctx.tun.proto to ctx.tun.inner_proto.

6) Store ether_type in flowtable context.

7) Move IPv4 and IPv6 xmit path to a helper function.

8) Move encapsulation header parser out of the flowtable lookup
   function.

9) Rework nft_ct custom expectation support to address a possible
   reallocation of ct extension area while expectation list also
   contains expectations. Move datapath to a ct helper to fix it.

10) Ensure timeout is always lowered for the non-closing RST case
    in the TCP connection tracking.

11) Bail out when inserting already dead expectation, this should
    not ever happen, hence report it via DEBUG_NET.

12) Comestic updates for improving the conntrack selftest dump and
    flush userspace program, from Qingshuang Fu.

Refactor dev_fill_forward_path() to take a struct net_device_path_ctx
pointer instead of a (dev, daddr) pair, so the caller can build and
populate the context up front and keep it after the forward path walk.

This allows additional fields (e.g. vlan and ether_type) to be carried
in the context and shared with ndo_fill_forward_path implementations,
instead of being reconstructed on the stack inside the core helper.

Update the mtk_ppe_offload, airoha_ppe and nf_flow_table_path callers to
allocate and fill the context before invoking dev_fill_forward_path().
The network topology resolution behaviour is unchanged.

This is a preliminary patch to enable HW flowtable offload for IPv4
over IPv6 tunnels.

<title>net: fix skb length accounting after generic XDP frag adjustment</title>

Generic XDP exposes non-linear skb fragments through an xdp_buff. If an
XDP program adjusts the fragment area, bpf_prog_run_generic_xdp() copies
xdp_frags_size back to skb-&gt;data_len but leaves skb-&gt;len containing the
old fragment contribution.

After a fragment shrink, this makes skb_headlen() larger than the actual
linear area. In the reproduced UDP receive path, __skb_datagram_iter()
copied 1024 bytes past the actual linear tail to userspace, starting at
struct skb_shared_info. The copied bytes included the affected skb's
nr_frags, xdp_frags_size and a kernel pointer from
skb_shinfo(skb)-&gt;frags[0]. Real packet data was displaced by the same
amount and truncated at the end.

Subtract the old data_len before replacing it and add the new data_len
afterwards, keeping skb-&gt;len and skb-&gt;data_len synchronized.

A 60000-byte UDP datagram on a veth pair with MTU 64000 was shortened by
1024 bytes from its fragment area. Before the fix, all 10 runs produced
corrupted payloads. After the fix, all 10 runs matched the expected
payload exactly.
