Alexei Starovoitov 4e7c52b178 Merge branch 'bpf-skmsg-some-fixes-for-skmsg'
Jiayuan Chen says:

====================
bpf, skmsg: some fixes for skmsg

All fixes are from previous patches sent by Weiming Shi, Zhang Cen,
Kuniyuki and Sechang Lim, which have already been reviewed by me and John and Jakub.

The automated reviewer (sashiko) may still flag a few other potential
issues on top of this series. After looking into them, they are either
already covered by the patches here, are the BPF program's own
responsibility (e.g. initializing the payload it pushes) and intentionally
left out, or only reachable under very narrow conditions that require a
specially crafted BPF program and an unusual sk_msg ring state, so they are
not practical to trigger and are left out of this series. I'm collecting
these fixes together because the same
problems have been re-sent many times in slightly different forms, and I
hope this series can be prioritized for merging so the duplicates can
finally settle. With so many AI-generated patches floating around for
these spots, leaving them unmerged just keeps wasting maintainer review
cycles on the same issues.

v3->v4: Carry Kuniyuki Iwashima's reviewed-by tag.
        Drop the __GFP_ZERO patch; initializing the pushed payload is the
        BPF program's responsibility, not the kernel's (per maintainer
        feedback).
        https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20260612130919.299124-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev/
v2->v3: Target to bpf-next and carry Emil's reviewed-by tag.
        Reverse xmas tree style is used suggested by Cong.
        (not all code match reverse xmas tree due to variable dependency)
v1->v2: fix problem when fix the conflict.
