Currently, the driver uses memory profile parameters to determine the
maximum number of supported clients, with a default limit of 512 for
single-radio and 128 for DBS and DBS+SBS configurations. However,
some devices have lower hardware limits depending on the radio
configuration. Exceeding these hardware-specific limits can lead to
firmware crashes.
Add hardware parameters in ath12k_hw_params to define the maximum supported
clients for each radio configuration. The driver uses the minimum of the
memory profile limit and the hardware capability limit to prevent exceeding
hardware constraints.

_ieee80211_set_active_links() calls _ieee80211_link_use_channel() for
each newly-added link and WARN_ON_ONCE()s if it fails. The call uses
assign_on_failure=true, which allows mac80211 to continue despite
driver failures, but when a mac80211-level channel validation fails
(e.g., combinations check, DFS, or no available radio),
drv_assign_vif_chanctx() is never reached. Since ath12k_mac_vdev_create()
is only called from that path, arvif->is_created remains false and
arvif->ar remains NULL for the failed link.
The subsequent drv_change_sta_links() call reaches
ath12k_mac_op_change_sta_links(), which allocates an arsta and sets
ahsta->links_map |= BIT(link_id) for the broken link before checking
whether the link is ready. When the vdev was never created, only
station_add() is skipped, but the link remains in links_map.
Any subsequent operation iterating links_map and dereferencing arvif->ar
without a NULL check will crash. Two observed examples are NULL deref in
ath12k_mac_ml_station_remove() on disconnect and in ath12k_mac_op_set_key()
when wpa_supplicant installs PTK keys.

entering links_map, so all subsequent operations iterating the bitmap

ath12k_mac_vdev_create() has three error path issues that leave arvif
in an inconsistent state:
1. When ath12k_wmi_vdev_create() fails, the function returns directly
without clearing arvif->ar, which was already set before the WMI
call. Subsequent code checking arvif->ar to determine vdev readiness
will see a non-NULL value despite no vdev existing in firmware.
2. When ath12k_wmi_send_peer_delete_cmd() fails in err_peer_del, the
code jumped to err: skipping the DP peer cleanup and vdev rollback,
leaving num_created_vdevs, vdev maps and arvif list membership live.
3. When ath12k_wait_for_peer_delete_done() fails, the code jumped to
err_vdev_del: skipping the DP peer cleanup.
Fix by changing the ath12k_wmi_vdev_create() failure to goto err instead
of returning directly, routing both err_peer_del failure paths through
err_dp_peer_del: for proper DP peer and vdev rollback, and consolidating
the arvif state cleanup at err:.

For some chipsets, firmware can report HTT_T2H_MSG_TYPE_PEER_MAP2 with
peer_id 0 as a valid value for mapping ath12k_dp_link_peer to
ath12k_dp_peer.
ath12k_dp_peer_find_by_peerid() currently treats peer_id 0 as invalid.
When firmware assigns peer_id 0, peer lookup fails. As a result,
DHCP OFFER packets are dropped in __ieee80211_rx_handle_packet()

Also update peer_id 0 handling in monitor path:
Always call ath12k_dp_link_peer_find_by_peerid() in

In monitor mode, the driver incorrectly assigns the legacy rate
to the rate_idx field of the radiotap header for HT/VHT/HE/EHT
frames, ignoring the actual MCS value parsed from the hardware.
This causes packet analyzers (like Wireshark) to display incorrect
MCS values (e.g., legacy base rates instead of the true MCS).
Fix this by assigning ppdu_info->mcs as the default rate_mcs
in ath12k_dp_mon_fill_rx_rate(), and remove rate_idx assignments in
ath12k_dp_mon_update_radiotap() to preserve
the previously calculated MCS values (including the HT NSS offset).

When P2P support is enabled, wpa_supplicant creates a p2p-device

QCA2066 hw2.1, and QCA6698AQ hw2.1 to account for the implicit

In the WBM error path, while processing TKIP MIC errors, MSDU length
is fetched from the hal_rx_desc's msdu_end. This MSDU length is
directly passed to skb_put() without validation. In stress test

Avoid using a fixed limit, no matter the setup. This was causing too
high bufferbloat in some situations, e.g. with a low bandwidth and very
low delay because the default limit was too high for this case.
Instead, use more appropriated limits. Note that unbalanced bandwidth
modes seem to require slightly higher limits to cope with the different
bursts.

Since commit 4ee58e1e56 ("net: promote SIOCSHWTSTAMP and SIOCGHWTSTAMP

longer dispatched through dev_eth_ioctl() / ndo_eth_ioctl(). They are
now handled by their own dedicated functions dev_set_hwtstamp() and
dev_get_hwtstamp() in the ioctl path.
However, the comment describing ndo_eth_ioctl in netdevice.h still
lists these two ioctls, which is misleading for driver developers who
may incorrectly assume they need to handle hardware timestamping

This reverts commit 4157501b9a ("vsock/virtio: fix skb overhead
overflow on 32-bit builds"). The fix was semantically correct (although
it would have been better to use mul_u32_u32(), as David pointed out),
but in practice we are estimating the memory used to allocate the SKBs,
and this will never cause a 32-bit variable to overflow on a 32-bit
system, since the memory would have run out long before that. On 64-bit,
SKB_TRUESIZE() already evaluates to size_t, so the multiplication is
already in 64-bit arithmetic without the cast.
Let's revert this to avoid unnecessary 64-bit multiplies on the
per-packet receive path on 32-bit systems.

Split the list of basic feature sets from the "extra" ones like
vlan_features. A bunch of the newer fields weren't documented and
having them all together would be confusing.

A handful of unrelated nits:
- free_netdevice() does not exist; replace two stray references
with free_netdev().
- The simple-driver probe example fell through into err_undo after
register_netdev() success; add return 0 for clarity.
- Clarify the netdev_priv() paragraph: "(netdev_priv())" was easy
to misread as the thing that needs explicit freeing; spell out
that it refers to extra pointers stored in the device private
struct.
- ndo_setup_tc synchronization note: TC_SETUP_BLOCK / TC_SETUP_FT
actually run under block->cb_lock, not "NFT locks", and rtnl_lock
may or may not be held depending on path.
- ->lltx guidance reads as very outdated, it's not really deprecated.

Nicholas Carlini reports that the keyring code calls assoc_array_find()
in find_key_to_update() without holding the RCU read lock, while the
assoc_array_gc() code really is designed around removing the node from
the tree and then freeing it after an RCU grace-period.
The regular key handling doesn't see this because holding the keyring
semaphore hides any lifetime issues, but the persistent key handling
uses a different model.
Instead of extending the keyring locking, just do the simple RCU locking
that the assoc_array was designed for.

Address several teardown issues and resource leaks in the driver's remove
path and error handling:
1. Debounce clock reference leak: The debounce clock (bank->db_clk) is
obtained using of_clk_get() which increments the clock's reference
count, but clk_put() is never called. Register a devm action to
cleanly release it on unbind. Note that of_clk_get(..., 1) remains
necessary over devm_clk_get() because the DT binding does not define
clock-names, precluding name-based lookup.
2. Unregistered chained IRQ handler: The chained IRQ handler is not
disconnected in remove(). If a stray interrupt fires after the driver
is removed, the kernel attempts to execute a stale handler, leading
to a panic. Fix this by clearing the handler in remove().
3. IRQ domain leak: The linear IRQ domain and its generic chips are
allocated manually during probe but never removed. Remove the IRQ
domain during driver teardown to free the associated generic chips
and mappings.

The bank->clk was previously obtained via of_clk_get() and manually
prepared/enabled. However, it was missing a corresponding clk_put() in
both the error paths and the remove function, leading to a reference leak.
Convert the allocation to devm_clk_get_enabled(), which also properly
propagates failures from clk_prepare_enable() that were previously ignored.
The GPIO bank device uses the same OF node as the previous of_clk_get()
call, so devm_clk_get_enabled(dev, NULL) correctly resolves the same
clock provider entry.
Fix the reference leak and simplify the code by removing the manual
clk_disable_unprepare() calls in the probe error paths and in the
remove function.

By the time gpio_device_teardown_shared() is called, the parent device
is gone from the global list of GPIO devices and all outstanding SRCU
read-side critical sections have completed. That means that no
concurrent gpio_find_and_request() can call
gpio_shared_add_proxy_lookup() for this device at this time. There's
also no risk of the parent device being re-bound to the driver before
the unbinding completes (including the child devices).
Lockdep produces a false-positive report about a possible circular
dependency as it doesn't know the ordering guarantee. Not taking the
ref->lock in gpio_device_teardown_shared() silences it and is safe to do.

dpll: zl3073x: various fixes
Three fixes for the zl3073x DPLL driver.
Patch 1 exports __dpll_device_change_ntf() for use by drivers that
need to send device change notifications from within callbacks
already running under dpll_lock.
Patch 2 replaces the change_work workqueue mechanism with direct
calls to __dpll_device_change_ntf(), eliminating a race condition
where the work handler could dereference a freed dpll_dev pointer
during device teardown.
Patch 3 moves the freq_monitor flag from per-DPLL to per-device
scope to match the hardware behavior where frequency measurement
registers are shared across all DPLL channels.

The frequency monitoring feature uses shared hardware registers
that measure input reference frequencies independently of
individual DPLL channels. However, the freq_monitor flag was
incorrectly placed in the per-DPLL structure, causing each
channel to track its own enable/disable state independently.
Since the DPLL core calls measured_freq_get() only for the first
pin registration, the measured_freq_check() in the periodic worker
was gated by the per-DPLL freq_monitor flag of whichever channel
happens to be checked. If the first DPLL channel had frequency
monitoring disabled while another had it enabled, measurements
were never reported.
Move freq_monitor from struct zl3073x_dpll to struct zl3073x_dev
so all DPLL channels share a single flag, matching the hardware
behavior. Update freq_monitor_set() to notify other DPLL devices
about the change (like phase_offset_avg_factor_set() already does)
and remove the mode-dependent guard in zl3073x_dpll_changes_check()
since all input pin monitoring (pin state, phase offset, FFO, and
measured frequency) works correctly in all DPLL modes.

The change_work was introduced to send device change notifications
from DPLL device callbacks without deadlocking on dpll_lock, since
the callbacks are already invoked under that lock. Now that
__dpll_device_change_ntf() is exported for callers that already
hold dpll_lock, use it directly and remove the change_work
infrastructure entirely.
This eliminates a race condition where change_work could be
re-scheduled after cancel_work_sync() during device teardown,
potentially causing the handler to dereference a freed or NULL
dpll_dev pointer.

====================
net/handshake: anchor request lifetime to a pinned file reference
handshake_nl_accept_doit() has accumulated four follow-on fixes
since 3b3009ea8a ("net/handshake: Create a NETLINK service for
handling handshake requests"): 7ea9c1ec66, 7798b59409,
fe67b063f6, and dabac51b81. Each was a local refcount or
NULL-check correction; none moved where the file reference is
owned, and the same code keeps producing the same class of bug.
Reworking the ownership is what breaks the pattern.
For the duration of a request, sock->file has no single owner.
Submit publishes the request without taking a file reference;
accept_doit acquires one inside the handler, after the request
has already left the pending list. The consumer can drop its
own reference at any time, including the moment between
handshake_req_next() popping the request and accept_doit
reaching get_file(). The submit-side sock_hold() pins only
struct sock; struct socket and sock->file remain under the
consumer's control via the file descriptor.
This series places the file reference under unambiguous
ownership. handshake_req_submit() pins it on the request and
completion or cancel drops it (patches 4-5); the submit-side
sock_hold() then becomes redundant, and dropping it also closes
a publish-before-pin race the late sock_hold itself opened
(patch 6). The handshake_complete() API and its consumers move
to a uniform negative-errno sign convention (patch 3), with the
matching sign correction in nvme-tcp (patch 2). Patch 1
hardens hn_lock for BH context, the netns-exit drain fix
builds on the new file-pin infrastructure (patch 8), and new
KUnit file-count assertions verify the refcount contract
(patch 7).
Three things in this restructuring want a careful look. In
handshake_complete(), the fput() of the request's file
reference has to come after hp_done() -- fput() can transitively
run handshake_sk_destruct() and free the request, so the patch
stashes hr_file in a local first. handshake_sk_destruct()
itself is kept on purpose: it owns rhashtable removal and
kfree, and remains the backstop if a consumer path bypasses
handshake_complete() entirely. Third, handshake_req_next() now
returns its request with an extra get_file() held under
hn_lock; accept_doit must consume that reference (FD_PREPARE on
success, explicit fput on the fdf.err path), and any future
caller has to honor the same contract.

The arguments to list_splice_init() in handshake_net_exit() are
reversed. The call moves the local empty "requests" list onto
hn->hn_requests, leaving the local list empty, so the subsequent
drain loop runs zero iterations. Pending handshake requests that
had not yet been accepted are not torn down when the net namespace
is destroyed; each one keeps a reference on a socket file and on
the handshake_req allocation.
Pass the source and destination in the documented order
(list_splice_init(list, head) moves list onto head) so the pending
list is transferred to the local scratch list and drained through
handshake_complete().
Fixing the splice direction exposes a list-corruption race. After
the splice each req->hr_list still has non-empty link pointers,
threading the stack-local scratch list rather than hn_requests.
A concurrent handshake_req_cancel() -- for example, from sunrpc's
TLS timeout on a kernel socket whose netns reference was not
taken -- finds the request through the rhashtable, calls
remove_pending(), and sees !list_empty(&req->hr_list).
__remove_pending_locked() then list_del_init()s an entry off the
scratch list while the drain iterates, corrupting it. The same
call arriving after the drain loop has run list_del() on an
entry hits LIST_POISON instead.
Have remove_pending() check HANDSHAKE_F_NET_DRAINING under
hn_lock and report not-found when drain is in progress. The
drain has already taken ownership; handshake_complete()'s existing
test_and_set on HANDSHAKE_F_REQ_COMPLETED still arbitrates
between drain and cancel for who calls the consumer's hp_done. Use
list_del_init() rather than list_del() in the drain so req->hr_list
does not carry LIST_POISON after drain releases the entry.
The DRAINING guard in remove_pending() makes cancel return false,
but cancel still falls through to test_and_set_bit on
HANDSHAKE_F_REQ_COMPLETED and drops the request's hr_file reference.
Without another pin, if that is the last reference, sk_destruct frees
the request while it is still linked on the drain loop's local list.
Pin each request's hr_file under hn_lock before releasing the list,
and drop that drain pin after the loop finishes with the request.

The new file-reference contract on struct handshake_req is silently
breakable: a missing get_file() at submit or a missing fput() on an
error path leaves the file leaked but does not crash the test, so
the existing absence-of-crash checks pass either way.
Snapshot file_count(filp) before each handshake_req_submit() in
the submit-success, EAGAIN, EBUSY, and cancel tests, and assert
the expected balance after submit and again after cancel. The
already-completed cancel test also asserts the post-complete
balance, which pins down that handshake_complete() drops the
reference and that the subsequent cancel does not double-fput.
The destroy test gets the same treatment before __fput_sync(),
which double-checks that cancel's fput() ran and the only
remaining reference is the one sock_alloc_file() established.

handshake_req_submit() publishes the request via
handshake_req_hash_add() and __add_pending_locked(), drops
hn_lock, and calls handshake_genl_notify() (which can sleep)
before taking sock_hold() on req->hr_sk. A fast tlshd ACCEPT
followed by DONE can drive handshake_complete()'s sock_put()
into the window between the spin_unlock and the late
sock_hold(); on a system where the consumer's fd held the
only sk reference, the late sock_hold() then operates on an
sk whose refcount has reached zero.
The preceding two patches install an explicit file reference
on struct handshake_req. That file pins sock->file, which
pins the embedded struct socket, which defers inet_release()'s
sock_put(). As long as hr_file is held, sk cannot reach refcount
zero from the consumer side, and the submit-side sock_hold()
with its matching sock_put() calls in handshake_complete() and
handshake_req_cancel() is now redundant.
Drop all three. The file reference already keeps each request's
socket alive, and the lifetime story is contained in a single
get_file()/fput() pair.

handshake_req_next() removes the request from the per-net
pending list and drops hn_lock before handshake_nl_accept_doit()
reads req->hr_sk->sk_socket and dereferences sock->file (once in
FD_PREPARE() and again in get_file()). In that window a
consumer running tls_handshake_cancel() followed by sockfd_put()
(svc_sock_free) or __fput_sync() (xs_reset_transport) releases
sock->file. sock_release() then runs sock_orphan(), zeroing
sk_socket, and frees the struct socket. The accept-side code
either reads NULL through sk_socket or chases freed memory.
The submit-side sock_hold() does not prevent this. sk_refcnt
protects struct sock, but struct socket and sock->file are
independently refcounted via the file descriptor the consumer
owns. Pinning sk leaves sock and sock->file unprotected.
Retarget the accept-side dereferences at req->hr_file, which was
pinned at submit time, instead of req->hr_sk->sk_socket->file.
Pinning on its own is not sufficient: a consumer that cancels
between handshake_req_next() returning and accept_doit reaching
FD_PREPARE() takes the !remove_pending() branch in
handshake_req_cancel() and drops hr_file before the accept side
takes its own reference. Hand off an additional file reference
inside handshake_req_next(), under hn_lock, so the accept side
operates on a reference that no concurrent handshake_req_cancel()
can revoke. FD_PREPARE() consumes that handed-off reference,
either by transferring it to the new fd in fd_publish() or by
dropping it in the cleanup destructor on error; the explicit
get_file() that previously balanced FD_PREPARE() is therefore
redundant and goes away.
Update handshake_req_cancel_test2 and _test3 to simulate the
FD_PREPARE() consumption with an fput() so the kunit file-count
assertions stay balanced.

handshake_nl_accept_doit() needs the file pointer backing
req->hr_sk->sk_socket to survive the window between
handshake_req_next() and the subsequent FD_PREPARE() and get_file().
The submit-side sock_hold() does not provide that. sk_refcnt keeps
struct sock alive, but struct socket is owned by sock->file: when
the consumer fputs the last file reference, sock_release() tears
the socket down regardless of any sock_hold.
Add an hr_file pointer to struct handshake_req and acquire an
explicit reference on sock->file during handshake_req_submit().
handshake_complete() and handshake_req_cancel() release the
reference on the completion-bit-winning path.
The submit error path must also release the file reference, but
after rhashtable insertion a concurrent handshake_req_cancel() can
discover the request and race the error path. Gate the error-path
cleanup -- sk_destruct restoration, fput, and request destruction
-- with test_and_set_bit(HANDSHAKE_F_REQ_COMPLETED), the same
serialization handshake_complete() and handshake_req_cancel()
already use. When cancel has already claimed ownership, the submit
error path returns without touching the request; socket teardown
handles final destruction.
The accept-side dereferences are not yet retargeted; that change
comes in the next patch.
