<title>net/packet: Fix Tx queue selection for AF_PACKET</title>

<id>ccd4eb49f3392ebf989d58bd013a7bf44cdca4d6</id>
<content type='text'>
When PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS is not used, Tx queue selection will be done
before the packet is enqueued, taking into account any mappings set by
a queuing discipline such as mqprio without hardware offloading. This
selection may be affected by a previously saved queue_mapping, either on
the Rx path, or done before the packet reaches the device, as it's
currently the case for AF_PACKET.

In order for queue selection to work as expected when using traffic
control, there can't be another selection done before that point is
reached, so move the call to packet_pick_tx_queue to
packet_direct_xmit, leaving the default xmit path as it was before
PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS was introduced.

A forward declaration of packet_pick_tx_queue() is introduced to avoid
the need to reorder the functions within the file.

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be
used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as
a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free
situations.

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be
used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as
a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free
situations.

This patch uses refcount_inc_not_zero() instead of
atomic_inc_not_zero_hint() due to absense of a _hint()
version of refcount API. If the hint() version must
be used, we might need to revisit API.

In the case getsockopt() is called with PACKET_HDRLEN and optlen &lt; 4
|val| remains uninitialized and the syscall may behave differently
depending on its value, and even copy garbage to userspace on certain
architectures. To fix this we now return -EINVAL if optlen is too small.

This bug has been detected with KMSAN.

<content type='text'>
Fanout uses a per net global namespace. A process that intends to create
a new fanout group can accidentally join an existing group. It is not
possible to detect this.

Add socket option PACKET_FANOUT_FLAG_UNIQUEID.  When specified the
supplied fanout group id must be set to 0, and the kernel chooses an id
that is not already in use.  This is an ephemeral flag so that
other sockets can be added to this group using setsockopt, but NOT
specifying this flag.  The current getsockopt(..., PACKET_FANOUT, ...)
can be used to retrieve the new group id.

We assume that there are not a lot of fanout groups and that this is not
a high frequency call.

The method assigns ids starting at zero and increases until it finds an
unused id.  It keeps track of the last assigned id, and uses it as a
starting point to find new ids.
