netdev_queue_get_dma_dev() uses "compat" locking assert which wants
either the rtnl_lock or netdev instance lock. This is not right,
the callers are taking the instance lock unconditionally. All entry
points for queue config are purely instance locked.

In other words the callers use netdev_get_by_index_lock(), not
netdev_get_by_index_lock_ops_compat(). All the state we will
access is effectively instance lock protected (it's const for
devices which are not ops-locked).

Update the assert to avoid false positive warnings.

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

<id>33f2b2eb33d666ecac68031e0f31424fb70528db</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

Technically, it's illegal to take a ref on a netdev just because
we have a pointer on which we already hold a ref, with no other
protection. This is because our simple per-cpu refcount
implementation cannot atomically read the count.

Let's make sure we cancel outstanding work and never queue more
work for a device we know is dead. This way taking a ref on
a dev we know is on the netdev_work_list is always going to be safe.

Jiangshan Yi reports that the issues is caught by ref tracker infra
leading to a warning:
  WARNING: lib/ref_tracker.c:322 at ref_tracker_free

<title>net: Defer netdev KOBJ_ADD uevent until the device is published</title>

<content type='text'>
netdev_register_kobject() calls device_add(), which emits KOBJ_ADD and
wakes udev, but register_netdevice() only makes the device findable by
name later, in list_netdevice().  A udev worker that reacts to the uevent
can therefore run against a device that no lookup can find yet.

This used to be harmless because the ethtool ioctl took the rtnl_lock
when looking the device up, and register_netdevice() runs under rtnl, so
the worker simply blocked until registration finished. The commit in the
fixes tag moved the lookup out from under rtnl for ops-locked drivers.
Now there is a short window in register_netdevice() between
netdev_register_kobject() until list_netdevice() when the device is not
findable by name.

This was reproduced with the mlx5 driver on a kernel with KASAN enabled
during devlink reload: systemd-udevd's net_driver builtin gets -ENODEV
from ETHTOOL_GDRVINFO, which was preventing interface renaming.

Suppress the uevent in netdev_register_kobject() and emit it from
register_netdevice() next to rtmsg_ifinfo(). This is the last point in
register_netdevice() where no error can happen, so only fully registered
devices are announced: the registration error paths never reach it, and
the device_del() that unwinds them stays silent as well, leaving
userspace with neither an add nor a remove.

<title>xdp: reject clones that overrun skb_shared_info tailroom</title>

xdpf_clone() clones broadcast copies into a single page and sets
frame_sz to PAGE_SIZE. __xdp_build_skb_from_frame() later treats that
page like a normal XDP frame and expects the usual skb_shared_info
tailroom at the end of the buffer.

The current check only rejects frames whose linear xdp_frame header,
headroom, and packet data exceed PAGE_SIZE. A source frame backed by a
larger allocation can still satisfy that check while extending into the
clone's required shared-info area. When such a clone is converted back
into an skb, build_skb_around() places skb_shared_info over live packet
bytes and later writes can corrupt XDP return metadata.

Reject clones unless their linear area fits inside
SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD(PAGE_SIZE), matching the tailroom requirement already
enforced by the XDP-to-skb conversion path.

<title>net: remove WARN_ON_ONCE() from sk_mc_loop()</title>

sk_mc_loop() can be called for sockets that are neither AF_INET
nor AF_INET6 (e.g. AF_PACKET sockets when sending packets via raw/packet
socket over virtual devices such as VRF or ipvlan).

In such cases, sk_family is not AF_INET/AF_INET6 and sk_mc_loop() falls
through the switch statement and triggers WARN_ON_ONCE(1).

Non-INET sockets do not support IP_MULTICAST_LOOP or IPV6_MULTICAST_LOOP
options, so loopback should default to true without generating a warning.

Fixes: f60e5990d9c1 ("ipv6: protect skb-&gt;sk accesses from recursive dereference inside the stack")

<title>bpf: Check sk_state before sk_protocol in bpf_tcp_*_syncookie</title>

bpf_tcp_gen_syncookie and bpf_tcp_check_syncookie accept a socket pointer
'sk' with argument type ARG_PTR_TO_BTF_ID_SOCK_COMMON. However, they access
sk-&gt;sk_protocol without validating whether 'sk' represents a full socket.

Fix this issue by checking sk-&gt;sk_state != TCP_LISTEN before inspecting
sk-&gt;sk_protocol in both bpf_tcp_gen_syncookie and bpf_tcp_check_syncookie.
Since mini-sockets are never in the TCP_LISTEN state, the condition
short-circuits and prevents dereferencing fullsock-specific fields.

We should either have net_iov or page backed frags in a single skb,
otherwise it blows up down the stack. Don't allow mixing in
zerocopy_fill_skb_from_devmem().
