eafb64f40c vsock: add netns to vsock core
Add netns logic to vsock core. Additionally, modify transport hook
prototypes to be used by later transport-specific patches (e.g.,
*_seqpacket_allow()).

Namespaces are supported primarily by changing socket lookup functions
(e.g., vsock_find_connected_socket()) to take into account the socket
namespace and the namespace mode before considering a candidate socket a
"match".

This patch also introduces the sysctl /proc/sys/net/vsock/ns_mode to
report the mode and /proc/sys/net/vsock/child_ns_mode to set the mode
for new namespaces.

Add netns functionality (initialization, passing to transports, procfs,
etc...) to the af_vsock socket layer. Later patches that add netns
support to transports depend on this patch.

This patch changes the allocation of random ports for connectible vsocks
in order to avoid leaking the random port range starting point to other
namespaces.

dgram_allow(), stream_allow(), and seqpacket_allow() callbacks are
modified to take a vsk in order to perform logic on namespace modes. In
future patches, the net will also be used for socket
lookups in these functions.

a84a1fe0fb selftests: net: fix wrong boolean evaluation in __exit__
The __exit__ method receives ex_type as the exception class when an
exception occurs. The previous code used implicit boolean evaluation:

    terminate = self.terminate or (self._exit_wait and ex_type)
                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^

In Python, the and operator can be used with non-boolean values, but it
does not always return a boolean result.

This is probably not what we want, because 'self._exit_wait and ex_type'
could return the actual ex_type value (the exception class) rather than
a boolean True when an exception occurs.

Use explicit `ex_type is not None` check to properly evaluate whether
an exception occurred, returning a boolean result.

Tony Nguyen says:

====================
refactor IDPF resource access

Pavan Kumar Linga says:

Queue and vector resources for a given vport, are stored in the
idpf_vport structure. At the time of configuration, these
resources are accessed using vport pointer. Meaning, all the
config path functions are tied to the default queue and vector
resources of the vport.

There are use cases which can make use of config path functions
to configure queue and vector resources that are not tied to any
vport. One such use case is PTP secondary mailbox creation
(it would be in a followup series). To configure queue and interrupt
resources for such cases, we can make use of the existing config
infrastructure by passing the necessary queue and vector resources info.

To achieve this, group the existing queue and vector resources into
default resource group and refactor the code to pass the resource
pointer to the config path functions.

This series also includes patches which generalizes the send virtchnl
message APIs and mailbox API that are necessary for the implementation
of PTP secondary mailbox.

Petr Machata says:

====================
net: neighbour: Notify changes atomically

Andy Roulin and Francesco Ruggeri have apparently independently both hit an
issue with the current neighbor notification scheme. Francesco reported the
issue in [1]. In a response[2] to that report, Andy said:

    neigh_update sends a rtnl notification if an update, e.g.,
    nud_state change, was done but there is no guarantee of
    ordering of the rtnl notifications. Consider the following
    scenario:

    userspace thread                   kernel thread
    ================                   =============
    neigh_update
       write_lock_bh(n->lock)
       n->nud_state = STALE
       write_unlock_bh(n->lock)
       neigh_notify
         neigh_fill_info
           read_lock_bh(n->lock)
           ndm->nud_state = STALE
           read_unlock_bh(n->lock)
         -------------------------->
                                      neigh:update
                                      write_lock_bh(n->lock)
                                      n->nud_state = REACHABLE
                                      write_unlock_bh(n->lock)
                                      neigh_notify
                                        neigh_fill_info
                                           read_lock_bh(n->lock)
                                           ndm->nud_state = REACHABLE
                                           read_unlock_bh(n->lock)
                                        rtnl_nofify
                                      RTNL REACHABLE sent
                            <--------
        rtnl_notify
        RTNL STALE sent

    In this scenario, the kernel neigh is updated first to STALE and
    then REACHABLE but the netlink notifications are sent out of order,
    first REACHABLE and then STALE.

The solution presented in [2] was to extend the critical region to include
both the call to neigh_fill_info(), as well as rtnl_notify(). Then we have
a guarantee that whatever state was captured by neigh_fill_info(), will be
sent right away. The above scenario can thus not happen.

This is how this patchset begins: patches #1 and #2 add helper duals to
neigh_fill_info() and __neigh_notify() such that the __-prefixed function
assumes the neighbor lock is held, and the unprefixed one is a thin wrapper
that manages locking. This extends locking further than Andy's patch, but
makes for a clear code and supports the following part.

At that point, the original race is gone. But what can happen is the
following race, where the notification does not reflect the change that was
made:

    userspace thread		       kernel thread
    ================		       =============
    neigh_update
       write_lock_bh(n->lock)
       n->nud_state = STALE
       write_unlock_bh(n->lock)
	 -------------------------->
				      neigh:update
				      write_lock_bh(n->lock)
				      n->nud_state = REACHABLE
				      write_unlock_bh(n->lock)
				      neigh_notify
					read_lock_bh(n->lock)
					__neigh_fill_info
					   ndm->nud_state = REACHABLE
					rtnl_notify
					read_unlock_bh(n->lock)
				      RTNL REACHABLE sent
			    <--------
       neigh_notify
	 read_lock_bh(n->lock)
	 __neigh_fill_info
	   ndm->nud_state = REACHABLE
	 rtnl_notify
	 read_unlock_bh(n->lock)
       RTNL REACHABLE sent again

Here, even though neigh_update() made a change to STALE, it later sends a
notification with a NUD of REACHABLE. The obvious solution to fix this race
is to move the notifier to the same critical section that actually makes
the change.

Sending a notification in fact involves two things: invoking the internal
notifier chain, and sending the netlink notification. The overall approach
in this patchset is to move the netlink notification to the critical
section of the change, while keeping the internal notifier intact. Since
the motion is not obviously correct, the patchset presents the change in
series of incremental steps with discussion in commit messages. Please see
details in the patches themselves.

Reproducer
==========

To consistently reproduce, I injected an mdelay before the rtnl_notify()
call. Since only one thread should delay, a bit of instrumentation was
needed to see where the call originates. The mdelay was then only issued on
the call stack rooted in the RTNL request.

Then the general idea is to issue an "ip neigh replace" to mark a neighbor
entry as failed. In parallel to that, inject an ARP burst that validates
the entry. This is all observed with an "ip monitor neigh", where one can
see either a REACHABLE->FAILED transition, or FAILED->REACHABLE, while the
actual state at the end of the sequence is always REACHABLE.

With the patchset, only FAILED->REACHABLE is ever observed in the monitor.

Alternatives
============

Another approach to solving the issue would be to have a per-neighbor queue
of notification digests, each with a set of fields necessary for formatting
a notification. In pseudocode, a neighbor update would look something like
this:

  neighbor_update:
    - lock
    -   do update
    -   allocate notification digest, fill partially, mark not-committed
    - unlock
    - critical-section-breaking stuff (probes, ARP Q, etc.)
    - lock
    -   fill in missing details to the digest (notably neigh->probes)
    -   mark the digest as committed
    -   while (front of the digest queue is committed)
    -     pop it, convert to notifier, send the notification
    - unlock

This adds more complexity and would imply more changes to the code, which
is why I think the approach presented in this patchset is better. But it
would allow us to retain the overall structure of the code while giving us
accurate notifications.

A third approach would be to consider the second race not very serious and
be OK with seeing a notification that does not reflect the change that
prompted it. Then a two-patch prefix of this patchset would be all that is
needed.

a00266969c net: core: neighbour: Make another netlink notification atomically
Similarly to the issue from the previous patch, neigh_timer_handler() also
updates the neighbor separately from formatting and sending the netlink
notification message. We have not seen reports to the effect of this
causing trouble, but in theory, the same sort of issues could have come up:
neigh_timer_handler() would make changes as necessary, but before
formatting and sending a notification, is interrupted before sending by
another thread, which makes a parallel change and sends its own message.
The message send that is prompted by an earlier change thus contains
information that does not reflect the change having been made.

To solve this, the netlink notification needs to be in the same critical
section that updates the neighbor. The critical section is ended by the
neigh_probe() call which drops the lock before calling solicit. Stretching
the critical section over the solicit call is problematic, because that can
then involved all sorts of forwarding callbacks. Therefore, like in the
previous patch, split the netlink notification away from the internal one
and move it ahead of the probe call.

d0887dc8b2 net: core: neighbour: Make one netlink notification atomically
As noted in a previous patch, one race remains in the current code. A
kernel thread might interrupt a userspace thread after the change is done,
but before formatting and sending the message. Then what we would see is
two messages with the same contents:

    userspace thread		       kernel thread
    ================		       =============
    neigh_update
       write_lock_bh(n->lock)
       n->nud_state = STALE
       write_unlock_bh(n->lock)
	 -------------------------->
				      neigh:update
				      write_lock_bh(n->lock)
				      n->nud_state = REACHABLE
				      write_unlock_bh(n->lock)
				      neigh_notify
					read_lock_bh(n->lock)
					__neigh_fill_info
					   ndm->nud_state = REACHABLE
					rtnl_notify
					read_unlock_bh(n->lock)
				      RTNL REACHABLE sent
			    <--------
       neigh_notify
	 read_lock_bh(n->lock)
	 __neigh_fill_info
	   ndm->nud_state = REACHABLE
	 rtnl_notify
	 read_unlock_bh(n->lock)
       RTNL REACHABLE sent again

The solution is to send the netlink message inside the critical section
where the neighbor is changed, so that it reflects the notified-upon
neighbor state.

To that end, in __neigh_update(), move the current neigh_notify() call up
to said critical section, and convert it to __neigh_notify(), because the
lock is held. This motion crosses calls to neigh_update_managed_list(),
neigh_update_gc_list() and neigh_update_process_arp_queue(), all of which
potentially unlock and give an opportunity for the above race.

This also crosses a call to neigh_update_process_arp_queue() which calls
neigh->output(), which might be neigh_resolve_output() calls
neigh_event_send() calls neigh_event_send_probe() calls
__neigh_event_send() calls neigh_probe(), which touches neigh->probes,
an update which will now not be visible in the notification.

However, there is indication that there is no promise that these changes
will be accurately projected to notifications: fib6_table_lookup()
indirectly calls route.c's find_match() calls rt6_probe(), which looks up a
neighbor and call __neigh_set_probe_once(), which sets neigh->probes to 0,
but neither this nor the caller seems to send a notification.

Additionally, the neighbor object that the neigh_probe() mentioned above is
called on, might be the alternative neighbor looked up for the ARP queue
packet destination. If that is the case, the changed value of n1->probes is
not notified anywhere.

So at least in some circumstances, the reported number of probes needs to
be assumed to change without notification.

795258891c net: core: neighbour: Reorder netlink & internal notification
The netlink message needs to be send inside the critical section where the
neighbor is changed, so that it reflects the notified-upon neighbor state.
On the other hand, there is no such need in case of notifier chain: the
listeners do not assume lock, and often in fact just schedule a delayed
work to act on the neighbor later. At least one in fact also takes the
neighbor lock.

This requires that the netlink notification be done before the internal
notifier chain message is sent. That is safe to do, because the current
listeners, as well as __neigh_notify(), only read the updated neighbor
fields, and never modify them. (Apart from locking.)

a228a7e681 net: core: neighbour: Inline neigh_update_notify() calls
The obvious idea behind the helper is to keep together the two bits that
should be done either both or neither: the internal notifier chain message,
and the netlink notification.

To make sure that the notification sent reflects the change being made, the
netlink message needs to be send inside the critical section where the
neighbor is changed. But for the notifier chain, there is no such need: the
listeners do not assume lock, and often in fact just schedule a delayed
work to act on the neighbor later. At least one in fact also takes the
neighbor lock. Therefore these two items have each different locking needs.

Now we could unlock inside the helper, but I find that error prone, and the
fact that the notification is conditional in the first place does not help
to make the call site obvious.

So in this patch, the helper is instead removed and the body, which is just
these two calls, inlined. That way we can use each notifier independently.

89246ef82d net: core: neighbour: Process ARP queue later
ARP queue processing unlocks the neighbor lock, which can allow another
thread to asynchronously perform a neighbor update and send an out of order
notification. Therefore this needs to be done after the notification is
sent.

Move it just before the end of the critical section. Since
neigh_update_process_arp_queue() unlocks, it does not form a part of the
critical section anymore but it can benefit from the lock being taken. The
intention is to eventually do the RTNL notification before this call.

This motion crosses a call to neigh_update_is_router(), which should not
influence processing of the ARP queue.

0ecdccb8a4 net: core: neighbour: Call __neigh_notify() under a lock
Andy Roulin has described an issue with the current neighbor notification
scheme as follows. This was also presented publicly at the link below.

    neigh_update sends a rtnl notification if an update, e.g.,
    nud_state change, was done but there is no guarantee of
    ordering of the rtnl notifications. Consider the following
    scenario:

    userspace thread                   kernel thread
    ================                   =============
    neigh_update
       write_lock_bh(n->lock)
       n->nud_state = STALE
       write_unlock_bh(n->lock)
       neigh_notify
         neigh_fill_info
           read_lock_bh(n->lock)
           ndm->nud_state = STALE
           read_unlock_bh(n->lock)
         -------------------------->
                                      neigh:update
                                      write_lock_bh(n->lock)
                                      n->nud_state = REACHABLE
                                      write_unlock_bh(n->lock)
                                      neigh_notify
                                        neigh_fill_info
                                           read_lock_bh(n->lock)
                                           ndm->nud_state = REACHABLE
                                           read_unlock_bh(n->lock)
                                        rtnl_nofify
                                      RTNL REACHABLE sent
                            <--------
        rtnl_notify
        RTNL STALE sent

    In this scenario, the kernel neigh is updated first to STALE and
    then REACHABLE but the netlink notifications are sent out of order,
    first REACHABLE and then STALE.

The solution is to send the netlink message inside the same critical
section that formats the message. That way both the contents and ordering
of the message reflect the same state, and we cannot see the abovementioned
out-of-order delivery.

Even with this patch, a remaining issue that the contents of the message
may not reflect the changes made to the neighbor. A kernel thread might
still interrupt a userspace thread after the change is done, but before
formatting and sending the message. Then what we would see is two messages
with the same contents. The following patches will attempt to address that
issue.

To support those future patches, convert __neigh_notify() to a helper that
assumes that the neighbor lock is already taken by having it call
__neigh_fill_info() instead of neigh_fill_info(). Add a new helper,
neigh_notify(), which takes the lock before calling __neigh_notify().
Migrate all callers to use the latter.

77fa50dcb9 net: core: neighbour: Add a neigh_fill_info() helper for when lock not held
The netlink message needs to be formatted and sent inside the critical
section where the neighbor is changed, so that it reflects the
notified-upon neighbor state. Because it will happen inside an already
existing critical section, it has to assume that the neighbor lock is held.
Add a helper __neigh_fill_info(), which is like neigh_fill_info(), but
makes this assumption. Convert neigh_fill_info() to a wrapper around this
new helper.

c75734b585 net: always inline skb_frag_unref() and __skb_frag_unref()
clang is not inlining skb_frag_unref() and __skb_frag_unref()
in gro fast path.

It also does not inline gro_try_pull_from_frag0().

Using __always_inline fixes this issue, makes the
kernel faster _and_ smaller.

Also change __skb_frag_ref(), skb_frag_ref() and skb_page_unref()
to let them inlined for the last patch in this series.

df153517e4 u64_stats: Introduce u64_stats_copy()
The following (anti-)pattern was observed in the code tree:

        do {
                start = u64_stats_fetch_begin(&pstats->syncp);
                memcpy(&temp, &pstats->stats, sizeof(temp));
        } while (u64_stats_fetch_retry(&pstats->syncp, start));

On 64bit arches, struct u64_stats_sync is empty and provides no help
against load/store tearing, especially for memcpy(), for which arches may
provide their highly-optimized implements.

In theory the affected code should convert to u64_stats_t, or use
READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() properly.

However since there are needs to copy chunks of statistics, instead of
writing loops at random places, we provide a safe memcpy() variant for
u64_stats.

db69e9b838 net/rds: rds_tcp_accept_one ought to not discard messages
RDS/TCP differs from RDS/RDMA in that message acknowledgment
is done based on TCP sequence numbers:
As soon as the last byte of a message has been acknowledged
by the TCP stack of a peer, "rds_tcp_write_space()" goes on
to discard prior messages from the send queue.

Which is fine, for as long as the receiver never throws any messages away.

Unfortunately, that is *not* the case since the introduction of MPRDS:
commit 1a0e100fb2 "RDS: TCP: Enable multipath RDS for TCP"

A new function "rds_tcp_accept_one_path" was introduced,
which is entitled to return "NULL", if no connection path is currently
available.

Unfortunately, this happens after the "->accept()" call, and the new socket
often already contains messages, since the peer already transitioned
to "RDS_CONN_UP" on behalf of "TCP_ESTABLISHED".

That's also the case after this [1]:
commit 1a0e100fb2 "RDS: TCP: Force every connection to be initiated by
numerically smaller IP address"

which tried to address the situation of pending data by only transitioning
connections from a smaller IP address to "RDS_CONN_UP".

But even in those cases, and in particular if the "RDS_EXTHDR_NPATHS"
handshake has not occurred yet, and therefore we're working with
"c_npaths <= 1", "c_conn[0]" may be in a state distinct from
"RDS_CONN_DOWN", and therefore all messages on the just accepted socket
will be tossed away.

This fix changes "rds_tcp_accept_one":

* If connected from a peer with a larger IP address, the new socket
  will continue to get closed right away.
  With commit [1] above, there should not be any messages
  in the socket receive buffer, since the peer never transitioned
  to "RDS_CONN_UP".
  Therefore it should be okay to not make any efforts to dispatch
  the socket receive buffer.

* If connected from a peer with a smaller IP address,
  we call "rds_tcp_accept_one_path" to find a free slot/"path".
  If found, business goes on as usual.
  If none was found, we save/stash the newly accepted socket
  into "rds_tcp_accepted_sock", in order to not lose any
  messages that may have arrived already.
  We then return from "rds_tcp_accept_one" with "-ENOBUFS".
  Later on, when a slot/"path" does become available again
  (e.g. state transitioned to "RDS_CONN_DOWN",
   or HS extension header was received with "c_npaths > 1")
  we call "rds_tcp_conn_slots_available" that simply re-issues
  a "rds_tcp_accept_one_path" worker-callback and picks
  up the new socket from "rds_tcp_accepted_sock", and thereby
  continuing where it left with "-ENOBUFS" last time.
  Since a new slot has become available, those messages
  won't be lost, since processing proceeds as if that slot
  had been available the first time around.

ad22d24be6 net/rds: No shortcut out of RDS_CONN_ERROR
RDS connections carry a state "rds_conn_path::cp_state"
and transitions from one state to another and are conditional
upon an expected state: "rds_conn_path_transition."

There is one exception to this conditionality, which is
"RDS_CONN_ERROR" that can be enforced by "rds_conn_path_drop"
regardless of what state the condition is currently in.

But as soon as a connection enters state "RDS_CONN_ERROR",
the connection handling code expects it to go through the
shutdown-path.

The RDS/TCP multipath changes added a shortcut out of
"RDS_CONN_ERROR" straight back to "RDS_CONN_CONNECTING"
via "rds_tcp_accept_one_path" (e.g. after "rds_tcp_state_change").

A subsequent "rds_tcp_reset_callbacks" can then transition
the state to "RDS_CONN_RESETTING" with a shutdown-worker queued.

That'll trip up "rds_conn_init_shutdown", which was
never adjusted to handle "RDS_CONN_RESETTING" and subsequently
drops the connection with the dreaded "DR_INV_CONN_STATE",
which leaves "RDS_SHUTDOWN_WORK_QUEUED" on forever.

So we do two things here:

a) Don't shortcut "RDS_CONN_ERROR", but take the longer
   path through the shutdown code.

b) Add "RDS_CONN_RESETTING" to the expected states in
  "rds_conn_init_shutdown" so that we won't error out
  and get stuck, if we ever hit weird state transitions
  like this again."

net: restore the structure of driver-facing qcfg API

The goal of qcfg objects is to let us seamlessly support new use cases
without modifying all the drivers. We want to pull all the logic of
combining configuration supplied via different interfaces into the core
and present the drivers with a flat queue-by-queue configuration.
Additionally we want to separate the current effective configuration
from the user intent (default vs user setting vs memory provider setting).

Restructure the recently added code to re-introduce the pieces that
are missing compared to the old RFC:
https://lore.kernel.org/20250421222827.283737-1-kuba@kernel.org
Namely:
 - the netdev_queue_config() helper
 - queue config validation callback

I hopefully removed all the more "out there" parts of the RFC.

8e3245cb30 net: add queue config validation callback
I imagine (tm) that as the number of per-queue configuration
options grows some of them may conflict for certain drivers.
While the drivers can obviously do all the validation locally
doing so is fairly inconvenient as the config is fed to drivers
piecemeal via different ops (for different params and NIC-wide
vs per-queue).

Add a centralized callback for validating the queue config
in queue ops. The callback gets invoked before memory provider
is installed, and in the future should also be called when ring
params are modified.

The validation is done after each layer of configuration.
Since we can't fail MP un-binding we must make sure that
the config is valid both before and after MP overrides are
applied. This is moot for now since the set of MP and device
configs are disjoint. It will matter significantly in the future,
so adding it now so that we don't forget..

fc1a78a25c net: use netdev_queue_config() for mp restart
We should follow the prepare/commit approach for queue configuration.
The qcfg struct should be added to dev->cfg rather than directly to
queue objects so that we can clone and discard the pending config
easily.

Remove the qcfg in struct netdev_rx_queue, and switch remaining callers
to netdev_queue_config(). netdev_queue_config() will construct the qcfg
on the fly based on device defaults and state of the queue.

ndo_default_qcfg becomes optional because having the callback itself
does not have any meaningful semantics to us.

1410c7416d eth: bnxt: always set the queue mgmt ops
Core provides a centralized callback for validating per-queue settings
but the callback is part of the queue management ops. Having the ops
conditionally set complicates the parts of the driver which could
otherwise lean on the core to feed it the correct settings.

Always set the queue ops, but provide no restart-related callbacks if
queue ops are not supported by the device. This should maintain current
behavior, the check in netdev_rx_queue_restart() looks both at op struct
and individual ops.
