BRCM_LEG_PORT_ID was incorrectly used for pskb_may_pull length.
The correct check is BRCM_LEG_TAG_LEN + VLAN_HLEN, or 10 bytes.

<title>net: dsa: microchip: linearize skb for tail-tagging switches</title>

The pointer arithmentic for accessing the tail tag only works
for linear skbs.

For nonlinear skbs, it reads uninitialized memory inside the
skb headroom, essentially randomizing the tag. I have observed
it gets set to 6 most of the time.

Example where ksz9477_rcv thinks that the packet from port 1 comes from port 6
(which does not exist for the ksz9896 that's in use), dropping the packet.
Debug prints added by me (not included in this patch):

Call skb_linearize before trying to access the tag.

This patch fixes ksz9477_rcv which is used by the ksz9896 I have at
hand, and also applies the same fix to ksz8795_rcv which seems to have
the same problem.

<title>net: dsa: convert to ndo_hwtstamp_get() and ndo_hwtstamp_set()</title>

<id>6c14058edfd01cdc0d3018b9069643b0da7c3e80</id>
<content type='text'>
New timestamping API was introduced in commit 66f7223039c0 ("net: add
NDOs for configuring hardware timestamping") from kernel v6.6. It is
time to convert DSA to the new API, so that the ndo_eth_ioctl() path can
be removed completely.

Move the ds-&gt;ops-&gt;port_hwtstamp_get() and ds-&gt;ops-&gt;port_hwtstamp_set()
calls from dsa_user_ioctl() to dsa_user_hwtstamp_get() and
dsa_user_hwtstamp_set().

Due to the fact that the underlying ifreq type changes to
kernel_hwtstamp_config, the drivers and the Ocelot switchdev front-end,
all hooked up directly or indirectly, must also be converted all at once.

The conversion also updates the comment from dsa_port_supports_hwtstamp(),
which is no longer true because kernel_hwtstamp_config is kernel memory
and does not need copy_to_user(). I've deliberated whether it is
necessary to also update "err != -EOPNOTSUPP" to a more general "!err",
but all drivers now either return 0 or -EOPNOTSUPP.

The existing logic from the ocelot_ioctl() function, to avoid
configuring timestamping if the PHY supports the operation, is obsoleted
by more advanced core logic in dev_set_hwtstamp_phylib().

This is only a partial preparation for proper PHY timestamping support.
None of these switch driver currently sets up PTP traps for PHY
timestamping, so setting dev-&gt;see_all_hwtstamp_requests is not yet
necessary and the conversion is relatively trivial.

If complete = true in dsa_tree_setup(), it means that we are the last
switch of the tree which is successfully probing, and we should be
setting up all switches from our probe path.

After "complete" becomes true, dsa_tree_setup_cpu_ports() or any
subsequent function may fail. If that happens, the entire tree setup is
in limbo: the first N-1 switches have successfully finished probing
(doing nothing but having allocated persistent memory in the tree's
dst-&gt;ports, and maybe dst-&gt;rtable), and switch N failed to probe, ending
the tree setup process before anything is tangible from the user's PoV.

If switch N fails to probe, its memory (ports) will be freed and removed
from dst-&gt;ports. However, the dst-&gt;rtable elements pointing to its ports,
as created by dsa_link_touch(), will remain there, and will lead to
use-after-free if dereferenced.

If dsa_tree_setup_switches() returns -EPROBE_DEFER, which is entirely
possible because that is where ds-&gt;ops-&gt;setup() is, we get a kasan
report like this:

The simplest way to fix the bug is to delete the routing table in its
entirety. dsa_tree_setup_routing_table() has no problem in regenerating
it even if we deleted links between ports other than those of switch N,
because dsa_link_touch() first checks whether the port pair already
exists in dst-&gt;rtable, allocating if not.

The deletion of the routing table in its entirety already exists in
dsa_tree_teardown(), so refactor that into a function that can also be
called from the tree setup error path.

In my analysis of the commit to blame, it is the one which added
dsa_link elements to dst-&gt;rtable. Prior to that, each switch had its own
ds-&gt;rtable which is freed when the switch fails to probe. But the tree
is potentially persistent memory.

If complete = true in dsa_tree_setup(), it means that we are the last
switch of the tree which is successfully probing, and we should be
setting up all switches from our probe path.

After "complete" becomes true, dsa_tree_setup_cpu_ports() or any
subsequent function may fail. If that happens, the entire tree setup is
in limbo: the first N-1 switches have successfully finished probing
(doing nothing but having allocated persistent memory in the tree's
dst-&gt;ports, and maybe dst-&gt;rtable), and switch N failed to probe, ending
the tree setup process before anything is tangible from the user's PoV.

If switch N fails to probe, its memory (ports) will be freed and removed
from dst-&gt;ports. However, the dst-&gt;rtable elements pointing to its ports,
as created by dsa_link_touch(), will remain there, and will lead to
use-after-free if dereferenced.

If dsa_tree_setup_switches() returns -EPROBE_DEFER, which is entirely
possible because that is where ds-&gt;ops-&gt;setup() is, we get a kasan
report like this:

<title>net: dsa: clean up FDB, MDB, VLAN entries on unbind</title>

<content type='text'>
As explained in many places such as commit b117e1e8a86d ("net: dsa:
delete dsa_legacy_fdb_add and dsa_legacy_fdb_del"), DSA is written given
the assumption that higher layers have balanced additions/deletions.
As such, it only makes sense to be extremely vocal when those
assumptions are violated and the driver unbinds with entries still
present.

But Ido Schimmel points out a very simple situation where that is wrong:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/ZDazSM5UsPPjQuKr@shredder/
(also briefly discussed by me in the aforementioned commit).

Basically, while the bridge bypass operations are not something that DSA
explicitly documents, and for the majority of DSA drivers this API
simply causes them to go to promiscuous mode, that isn't the case for
all drivers. Some have the necessary requirements for bridge bypass
operations to do something useful - see dsa_switch_supports_uc_filtering().

Although in tools/testing/selftests/net/forwarding/local_termination.sh,
we made an effort to popularize better mechanisms to manage address
filters on DSA interfaces from user space - namely macvlan for unicast,
and setsockopt(IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP) - through mtools - for multicast, the
fact is that 'bridge fdb add ... self static local' also exists as
kernel UAPI, and might be useful to someone, even if only for a quick
hack.

It seems counter-productive to block that path by implementing shim
.ndo_fdb_add and .ndo_fdb_del operations which just return -EOPNOTSUPP
in order to prevent the ndo_dflt_fdb_add() and ndo_dflt_fdb_del() from
running, although we could do that.

Accepting that cleanup is necessary seems to be the only option.
Especially since we appear to be coming back at this from a different
angle as well. Russell King is noticing that the WARN_ON() triggers even
for VLANs:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/Z_li8Bj8bD4-BYKQ@shell.armlinux.org.uk/

What happens in the bug report above is that dsa_port_do_vlan_del() fails,
then the VLAN entry lingers on, and then we warn on unbind and leak it.

This is not a straight revert of the blamed commit, but we now add an
informational print to the kernel log (to still have a way to see
that bugs exist), and some extra comments gathered from past years'
experience, to justify the logic.

<title>net: move misc netdev_lock flavors to a separate header</title>

<content type='text'>
Move the more esoteric helpers for netdev instance lock to
a dedicated header. This avoids growing netdevice.h to infinity
and makes rebuilding the kernel much faster (after touching
the header with the helpers).

The main netdev_lock() / netdev_unlock() functions are used
in static inlines in netdevice.h and will probably be used
most commonly, so keep them in netdevice.h.

Protect all ethtool callbacks and PHY related state with the netdev
instance lock, for drivers which want / need to have their ops
instance-locked. Basically take the lock everywhere we take rtnl_lock.
It was tempting to take the lock in ethnl_ops_begin(), but turns
out we actually nest those calls (when generating notifications).

<title>bpf: Add BPF_SOCK_OPS_TSTAMP_SND_HW_CB callback</title>

<content type='text'>
Support hw SCM_TSTAMP_SND case for bpf timestamping.

Add a new sock_ops callback, BPF_SOCK_OPS_TSTAMP_SND_HW_CB. This
callback will occur at the same timestamping point as the user
space's hardware SCM_TSTAMP_SND. The BPF program can use it to
get the same SCM_TSTAMP_SND timestamp without modifying the
user-space application.

To avoid increasing the code complexity, replace SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP
with SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP_NOBPF instead of changing numerous callers
from driver side using SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP. The new definition of
SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP means the combination tests of socket timestamping
and bpf timestamping. After this patch, drivers can work under the
bpf timestamping.

Considering some drivers don't assign the skb with hardware
timestamp, this patch does the assignment and then BPF program
can acquire the hwstamp from skb directly.
