af_unix: don't post cmsg for SO_INQ unless explicitly asked for
A previous commit added SO_INQ support for AF_UNIX (SOCK_STREAM), but it
posts a SCM_INQ cmsg even if just msg->msg_get_inq is set. This is
incorrect, as ->msg_get_inq is just the caller asking for the remainder
to be passed back in msg->msg_inq, it has nothing to do with cmsg. The
original commit states that this is done to make sockets
io_uring-friendly", but it's actually incorrect as io_uring doesn't use
cmsg headers internally at all, and it's actively wrong as this means
that cmsg's are always posted if someone does recvmsg via io_uring.
Fix that up by only posting a cmsg if u->recvmsg_inq is set.
Additionally, mirror how TCP handles inquiry handling in that it should
only be done for a successful return. This makes the logic for the two
identical.

net: mana: Fix use-after-free in reset service rescan path
When mana_serv_reset() encounters -ETIMEDOUT or -EPROTO from
mana_gd_resume(), it performs a PCI rescan via mana_serv_rescan().
mana_serv_rescan() calls pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device(), which can
invoke the driver's remove path and free the gdma_context associated
with the device. After returning, mana_serv_reset() currently jumps to
the out label and attempts to clear gc->in_service, dereferencing a
freed gdma_context.

net: nfc: fix deadlock between nfc_unregister_device and rfkill_fop_write
A deadlock can occur between nfc_unregister_device() and rfkill_fop_write()
due to lock ordering inversion between device_lock and rfkill_global_mutex.
The problematic lock order is:
Thread A (rfkill_fop_write):
rfkill_fop_write()
mutex_lock(&rfkill_global_mutex)
rfkill_set_block()
nfc_rfkill_set_block()
nfc_dev_down()
device_lock(&dev->dev) <- waits for device_lock
Thread B (nfc_unregister_device):
nfc_unregister_device()
device_lock(&dev->dev)
rfkill_unregister()
mutex_lock(&rfkill_global_mutex) <- waits for rfkill_global_mutex
This creates a classic ABBA deadlock scenario.
Fix this by moving rfkill_unregister() and rfkill_destroy() outside the
device_lock critical section. Store the rfkill pointer in a local variable
before releasing the lock, then call rfkill_unregister() after releasing
device_lock.
This change is safe because rfkill_fop_write() holds rfkill_global_mutex
while calling the rfkill callbacks, and rfkill_unregister() also acquires
rfkill_global_mutex before cleanup. Therefore, rfkill_unregister() will
wait for any ongoing callback to complete before proceeding, and
device_del() is only called after rfkill_unregister() returns, preventing
any use-after-free.
The similar lock ordering in nfc_register_device() (device_lock ->
rfkill_global_mutex via rfkill_register) is safe because during
registration the device is not yet in rfkill_list, so no concurrent
rfkill operations can occur on this device.

A buffer overflow is detected by the fortified glibc __strcpy_chk()
since the __builtin_object_size() of `RTA_DATA(rta)` is incorrectly
reported as 1, even though there is ample space in its bounding
buffer `req`.
Additionally, given that IFLA_IFNAME also expects a null-terminated
string, callers of rtaddr_add_str{,sz}() could simply use the
rtaddr_add_strsz() variant. (which has been renamed to remove the
trailing `sz`) memset() has been used for this function since it
is unchecked and thus circumvents the issue discussed in the
previous paragraph.

net: dsa: fix missing put_device() in dsa_tree_find_first_conduit()
of_find_net_device_by_node() searches net devices by their /sys/class/net/,
entry. It is documented in its kernel-doc that:
* If successful, returns a pointer to the net_device with the embedded
* struct device refcount incremented by one, or NULL on failure. The
* refcount must be dropped when done with the net_device.
We are missing a put_device(&conduit->dev) which we could place at the
end of dsa_tree_find_first_conduit(). But to explain why calling
put_device() right away is safe is the same as to explain why the chosen
solution is different.
The code is very poorly split: dsa_tree_find_first_conduit() was first
introduced in commit 95f510d0b792 ("net: dsa: allow the DSA master to be
seen and changed through rtnetlink") but was first used several commits
later, in commit acc43b7bf52a ("net: dsa: allow masters to join a LAG").
Assume there is a switch with 2 CPU ports and 2 conduits, eno2 and eno3.
When we create a LAG (bonding or team device) and place eno2 and eno3
beneath it, we create a 3rd conduit (the LAG device itself), but this is
slightly different than the first two.
Namely, the cpu_dp->conduit pointer of the CPU ports does not change,
and remains pointing towards the physical Ethernet controllers which are
now LAG ports. Only 2 things change:
- the LAG device has a dev->dsa_ptr which marks it as a DSA conduit
- dsa_port_to_conduit(user port) finds the LAG and not the physical
conduit, because of the dp->cpu_port_in_lag bit being set.
When the LAG device is destroyed, dsa_tree_migrate_ports_from_lag_conduit()
is called and this is where dsa_tree_find_first_conduit() kicks in.
This is the logical mistake and the reason why introducing code in one
patch and using it from another is bad practice. I didn't realize that I
don't have to call of_find_net_device_by_node() again; the cpu_dp->conduit
association was never undone, and is still available for direct (re)use.
There's only one concern - maybe the conduit disappeared in the
meantime, but the netdev_hold() call we made during dsa_port_parse_cpu()
(see previous change) ensures that this was not the case.
Therefore, fixing the code means reimplementing it in the simplest way.
I am blaming the time of use, since this is what "git blame" would show
if we were to monitor for the conduit's kobject's refcount remaining
elevated instead of being freed.
Tested on the NXP LS1028A, using the steps from
Documentation/networking/dsa/configuration.rst section "Affinity of user
ports to CPU ports", followed by (extra prints added by me):

net: dsa: properly keep track of conduit reference
Problem description
-------------------
DSA has a mumbo-jumbo of reference handling of the conduit net device
and its kobject which, sadly, is just wrong and doesn't make sense.
There are two distinct problems.
1. The OF path, which uses of_find_net_device_by_node(), never releases
the elevated refcount on the conduit's kobject. Nominally, the OF and
non-OF paths should result in objects having identical reference
counts taken, and it is already suspicious that
dsa_dev_to_net_device() has a put_device() call which is missing in
dsa_port_parse_of(), but we can actually even verify that an issue
exists. With CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y, if we run this command
"before" and "after" applying this patch:
(unbind the conduit driver for net device eno2)
echo 0000:00:00.2 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/fsl_enetc/unbind
we see these lines in the output diff which appear only with the patch
applied:
2. After we find the conduit interface one way (OF) or another (non-OF),
it can get unregistered at any time, and DSA remains with a long-lived,
but in this case stale, cpu_dp->conduit pointer. Holding the net
device's underlying kobject isn't actually of much help, it just
prevents it from being freed (but we never need that kobject
directly). What helps us to prevent the net device from being
unregistered is the parallel netdev reference mechanism (dev_hold()
and dev_put()).
Actually we actually use that netdev tracker mechanism implicitly on
user ports since commit 2f1e8ea726e9 ("net: dsa: link interfaces with
the DSA master to get rid of lockdep warnings"), via netdev_upper_dev_link().
But time still passes at DSA switch probe time between the initial
of_find_net_device_by_node() code and the user port creation time, time
during which the conduit could unregister itself and DSA wouldn't know
about it.
So we have to run of_find_net_device_by_node() under rtnl_lock() to
prevent that from happening, and release the lock only with the netdev
tracker having acquired the reference.
Do we need to keep the reference until dsa_unregister_switch() /
dsa_switch_shutdown()?
1: Maybe yes. A switch device will still be registered even if all user
ports failed to probe, see commit 86f8b1c01a0a ("net: dsa: Do not
make user port errors fatal"), and the cpu_dp->conduit pointers
remain valid. I haven't audited all call paths to see whether they
will actually use the conduit in lack of any user port, but if they
do, it seems safer to not rely on user ports for that reference.
2. Definitely yes. We support changing the conduit which a user port is
associated to, and we can get into a situation where we've moved all
user ports away from a conduit, thus no longer hold any reference to
it via the net device tracker. But we shouldn't let it go nonetheless
- see the next change in relation to dsa_tree_find_first_conduit()
and LAG conduits which disappear.
We have to be prepared to return to the physical conduit, so the CPU
port must explicitly keep another reference to it. This is also to
say: the user ports and their CPU ports may not always keep a
reference to the same conduit net device, and both are needed.
As for the conduit's kobject for the /sys/class/net/ entry, we don't
care about it, we can release it as soon as we hold the net device
object itself.
History and blame attribution
-----------------------------
The code has been refactored so many times, it is very difficult to
follow and properly attribute a blame, but I'll try to make a short
history which I hope to be correct.
We have two distinct probing paths:
- one for OF, introduced in 2016 in commit 83c0afaec7b7 ("net: dsa: Add
new binding implementation")
- one for non-OF, introduced in 2017 in commit 71e0bbde0d88 ("net: dsa:
Add support for platform data")
These are both complete rewrites of the original probing paths (which
used struct dsa_switch_driver and other weird stuff, instead of regular
devices on their respective buses for register access, like MDIO, SPI,
I2C etc):
- one for OF, introduced in 2013 in commit 5e95329b701c ("dsa: add
device tree bindings to register DSA switches")
- one for non-OF, introduced in 2008 in commit 91da11f870f0 ("net:
Distributed Switch Architecture protocol support")
except for tiny bits and pieces like dsa_dev_to_net_device() which were
seemingly carried over since the original commit, and used to this day.
The point is that the original probing paths received a fix in 2015 in
the form of commit 679fb46c5785 ("net: dsa: Add missing master netdev
dev_put() calls"), but the fix never made it into the "new" (dsa2)
probing paths that can still be traced to today, and the fixed probing
path was later deleted in 2019 in commit 93e86b3bc842 ("net: dsa: Remove
legacy probing support").
That is to say, the new probing paths were never quite correct in this
area.
The existence of the legacy probing support which was deleted in 2019
explains why dsa_dev_to_net_device() returns a conduit with elevated
refcount (because it was supposed to be released during
dsa_remove_dst()). After the removal of the legacy code, the only user
of dsa_dev_to_net_device() calls dev_put(conduit) immediately after this
function returns. This pattern makes no sense today, and can only be
interpreted historically to understand why dev_hold() was there in the
first place.
Change details
--------------
Today we have a better netdev tracking infrastructure which we should
use. Logically netdev_hold() belongs in common code
(dsa_port_parse_cpu(), where dp->conduit is assigned), but there is a
tradeoff to be made with the rtnl_lock() section which would become a
bit too long if we did that - dsa_port_parse_cpu() also calls
request_module(). So we duplicate a bit of logic in order for the
callers of dsa_port_parse_cpu() to be the ones responsible of holding
the conduit reference and releasing it on error. This shortens the
rtnl_lock() section significantly.
In the dsa_switch_probe() error path, dsa_switch_release_ports() will be
called in a number of situations, one being where dsa_port_parse_cpu()
maybe didn't get the chance to run at all (a different port failed
earlier, etc). So we have to test for the conduit being NULL prior to
calling netdev_put().
There have still been so many transformations to the code since the
blamed commits (rename master -> conduit, commit 0650bf52b31f ("net:
dsa: be compatible with masters which unregister on shutdown")), that it
only makes sense to fix the code using the best methods available today
and see how it can be backported to stable later. I suspect the fix
cannot even be backported to kernels which lack dsa_switch_shutdown(),
and I suspect this is also maybe why the long-lived conduit reference
didn't make it into the new DSA probing paths at the time (problems
during shutdown).
Because dsa_dev_to_net_device() has a single call site and has to be
changed anyway, the logic was just absorbed into the non-OF
dsa_port_parse().
Tested on the ocelot/felix switch and on dsa_loop, both on the NXP
LS1028A with CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y.

mptcp: ensure context reset on disconnect()
After the blamed commit below, if the MPC subflow is already in TCP_CLOSE
status or has fallback to TCP at mptcp_disconnect() time,
mptcp_do_fastclose() skips setting the `send_fastclose flag` and the later
__mptcp_close_ssk() does not reset anymore the related subflow context.
Any later connection will be created with both the `request_mptcp` flag
and the msk-level fallback status off (it is unconditionally cleared at
MPTCP disconnect time), leading to a warning in subflow_data_ready():
The TCP subflow can process the simult-connect syn-ack packet after
transitioning to TCP_FIN1 state, bypassing the MPTCP fallback check,
as the sk_state_change() callback is not invoked for * -> FIN_WAIT1
transitions.
That will move the msk socket to an inconsistent status and the next
incoming data will hit the reported splat.
Close the race moving the simult-fallback check at the earliest possible
stage - that is at syn-ack generation time.

net: openvswitch: Avoid needlessly taking the RTNL on vport destroy
The openvswitch teardown code will immediately call
ovs_netdev_detach_dev() in response to a NETDEV_UNREGISTER notification.
It will then start the dp_notify_work workqueue, which will later end up
calling the vport destroy() callback. This callback takes the RTNL to do
another ovs_netdev_detach_port(), which in this case is unnecessary.
This causes extra pressure on the RTNL, in some cases leading to
"unregister_netdevice: waiting for XX to become free" warnings on
teardown.
We can straight-forwardly avoid the extra RTNL lock acquisition by
checking the device flags before taking the lock, and skip the locking
altogether if the IFF_OVS_DATAPATH flag has already been unset.

net: enetc: do not transmit redirected XDP frames when the link is down
In the current implementation, the enetc_xdp_xmit() always transmits

are still kept in the TX BD rings. If the XDP program is uninstalled,
users will see the following warning logs.

More worse, the TX BD ring cannot work properly anymore, because the
HW PIR and CIR are not equal after the re-initialization of the TX
BD ring. At this point, the BDs between CIR and PIR are invalid,
which will cause a hardware malfunction.
Another reason is that there is internal context in the ring prefetch
logic that will retain the state from the first incarnation of the ring
and continue prefetching from the stale location when we re-initialize
the ring. The internal context is only reset by an FLR. That is to say,
for LS1028A ENETC, software cannot set the HW CIR and PIR when
initializing the TX BD ring.
It does not make sense to transmit redirected XDP frames when the link is
down. Add a link status check to prevent transmission in this condition.
This fixes part of the issue, but more complex cases remain. For example,
the TX BD ring may still contain unsent frames when the link goes down.

This can happen for example if a handshake times out - particularly if
the SUNRPC client sends the AUTH_TLS probe to the server but doesn't
follow it up with the ClientHello due to a problem with tlshd. When the
timeout is hit on the server, the server will send a FIN, which triggers
a cancellation request via xs_reset_transport(). When the timeout is

net/mlx5e: Don't include PSP in the hard MTU calculations
Commit [1] added the 40 bytes required by the PSP header+trailer and the
UDP header to MLX5E_ETH_HARD_MTU, which limits the device-wide max
software MTU that could be set. This is not okay, because most packets
are not PSP packets and it doesn't make sense to always reserve space
for headers which won't get added in most cases.
As it turns out, for TCP connections, PSP overhead is already taken into
account in the TCP MSS calculations via inet_csk(sk)->icsk_ext_hdr_len.
This was added in commit [2]. This means that the extra space reserved
in the hard MTU for mlx5 ends up unused and wasted.
Remove the unnecessary 40 byte reservation from hard MTU.

net/mlx5e: Do not update BQL of old txqs during channel reconfiguration
During channel reconfiguration (e.g., ethtool private flags changes),
the driver can trigger a kernel BUG_ON in dql_completed() with the error
"kernel BUG at lib/dynamic_queue_limits.c:99".
The issue occurs in the following sequence:
During mlx5e_safe_switch_params(), old channels are deactivated via
mlx5e_deactivate_txqsq(). New channels are created and activated, taking
ownership of the netdev_queues and their BQL state.
When old channels are closed via mlx5e_close_txqsq(), there may be
pending TX descriptors (sq->cc != sq->pc) that were in-flight during the
deactivation.
mlx5e_free_txqsq_descs() frees these pending descriptors and attempts to
complete them via netdev_tx_completed_queue().
However, the BQL state (dql->num_queued and dql->num_completed) have
been reset in mlx5e_activate_txqsq and belong to the new queue owner,
leading to dql->num_queued - dql->num_completed < nbytes.
This triggers BUG_ON(count > num_queued - num_completed) in
dql_completed().

net/mlx5e: Trigger neighbor resolution for unresolved destinations
When initializing the MAC addresses for an outbound IPsec packet offload
rule in mlx5e_ipsec_init_macs, the call to dst_neigh_lookup is used to
find the next-hop neighbor (typically the gateway in tunnel mode).
This call might create a new neighbor entry if one doesn't already
exist. This newly created entry starts in the INCOMPLETE state, as the
kernel hasn't yet sent an ARP or NDISC probe to resolve the MAC
address. In this case, neigh_ha_snapshot will correctly return an
all-zero MAC address.
IPsec packet offload requires the actual next-hop MAC address to
program the rule correctly. If the neighbor state is INCOMPLETE when
the rule is created, the hardware rule is programmed with an all-zero
destination MAC address. Packets sent using this rule will be
subsequently dropped by the receiving network infrastructure or host.
This patch adds a check specifically for the outbound offload path. If
neigh_ha_snapshot returns an all-zero MAC address, it proactively
calls neigh_event_send(n, NULL). This ensures the kernel immediately
sends the initial ARP or NDISC probe if one isn't already pending,
accelerating the resolution process. This helps prevent the hardware
rule from being programmed with an invalid MAC address and avoids
packet drops due to unresolved neighbors.

net/mlx5: Serialize firmware reset with devlink
The firmware reset mechanism can be triggered by asynchronous events,
which may race with other devlink operations like devlink reload or
devlink dev eswitch set, potentially leading to inconsistent states.
This patch addresses the race by using the devl_lock to serialize the
firmware reset against other devlink operations. When a reset is
requested, the driver attempts to acquire the lock. If successful, it
sets a flag to block devlink reload or eswitch changes, ACKs the reset
to firmware and then releases the lock. If the lock is already held by
another operation, the driver NACKs the firmware reset request,
indicating that the reset cannot proceed.
Firmware reset does not keep the devl_lock and instead uses an internal
firmware reset bit. This is because firmware resets can be triggered by
asynchronous events, and processed in different threads. It is illegal
and unsafe to acquire a lock in one thread and attempt to release it in
another, as lock ownership is intrinsically thread-specific.
This change ensures that firmware resets and other devlink operations
are mutually exclusive during the critical reset request phase,
preventing race conditions.
The firmware tracer's format string validation and parameter counting
did not properly handle escaped percent signs (%%). This caused
fw_tracer to count more parameters when trace format strings contained
literal percent characters.
To fix it, allow %% to pass string validation and skip %% sequences when
counting parameters since they represent literal percent signs rather
than format specifiers.

Add validation for format string parameters in the firmware tracer to

firmware could provide format strings with invalid format specifiers

behavior.
Add mlx5_tracer_validate_params() to validate that all format specifiers

Despite being documented as self-clearing, the RANEG bit sometimes

Manually clear the RANEG bit after 10ms as advised by MaxLinear.
In order to not hold RTNL during the 10ms of waiting schedule
delayed work to take care of clearing the bit asynchronously, which
is similar to the self-clearing behavior.
The .shutdown operation should call dsa_switch_shutdown() just like
it is done also by the sibling lantiq_gswip driver. Not doing that
results in shutdown or reboot hanging and waiting for the CPU port
becoming free, which introduces a longer delay and a WARNING before
shutdown or reboot in case the driver is built-into the kernel.
Fix this by calling dsa_switch_shutdown() in the driver's shutdown
operation, harmonizing it with what is done in the lantiq_gswip
driver. As a side-effect this now allows to remove the previously
exported gswip_disable_switch() function which no longer got any

ethtool: Avoid overflowing userspace buffer on stats query
The ethtool -S command operates across three ioctl calls:
ETHTOOL_GSSET_INFO for the size, ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS for the names, and
ETHTOOL_GSTATS for the values.
If the number of stats changes between these calls (e.g., due to device
reconfiguration), userspace's buffer allocation will be incorrect,
potentially leading to buffer overflow.
Drivers are generally expected to maintain stable stat counts, but some
drivers (e.g., mlx5, bnx2x, bna, ksz884x) use dynamic counters, making
this scenario possible.
Some drivers try to handle this internally:
- bnad_get_ethtool_stats() returns early in case stats.n_stats is not
equal to the driver's stats count.
- micrel/ksz884x also makes sure not to write anything beyond
stats.n_stats and overflow the buffer.
However, both use stats.n_stats which is already assigned with the value
returned from get_sset_count(), hence won't solve the issue described
here.
Change ethtool_get_strings(), ethtool_get_stats(),
ethtool_get_phy_stats() to not return anything in case of a mismatch
between userspace's size and get_sset_size(), to prevent buffer
overflow.
The returned n_stats value will be equal to zero, to reflect that
nothing has been returned.
This could result in one of two cases when using upstream ethtool,
depending on when the size change is detected:
1. When detected in ethtool_get_strings():
# ethtool -S eth2
no stats available
2. When detected in get stats, all stats will be reported as zero.
Both cases are presumably transient, and a subsequent ethtool call
should succeed.
Other than the overflow avoidance, these two cases are very evident (no
output/cleared stats), which is arguably better than presenting
incorrect/shifted stats.
I also considered returning an error instead of a "silent" response, but
that seems more destructive towards userspace apps.
Notes:
- This patch does not claim to fix the inherent race, it only makes sure
that we do not overflow the userspace buffer, and makes for a more
predictable behavior.
- RTNL lock is held during each ioctl, the race window exists between
the separate ioctl calls when the lock is released.
- Userspace ethtool always fills stats.n_stats, but it is likely that
these stats ioctls are implemented in other userspace applications
which might not fill it. The added code checks that it's not zero,
to prevent any regressions.

That commit changed the bounds to:

accesses one element past the end.
Fix the issues by using `<` instead of `<=`, ensuring we do not exceed

Add service task schedule to set_rx_mode.

shmem: fix recovery on rename failures
maple_tree insertions can fail if we are seriously short on memory;
simple_offset_rename() does not recover well if it runs into that.
The same goes for simple_offset_rename_exchange().
Moreover, shmem_whiteout() expects that if it succeeds, the caller will
progress to d_move(), i.e. that shmem_rename2() won't fail past the
successful call of shmem_whiteout().
Not hard to fix, fortunately - mtree_store() can't fail if the index we
are trying to store into is already present in the tree as a singleton.
For simple_offset_rename_exchange() that's enough - we just need to be
careful about the order of operations.
For simple_offset_rename() solution is to preinsert the target into the
tree for new_dir; the rest can be done without any potentially failing
operations.
That preinsertion has to be done in shmem_rename2() rather than in
simple_offset_rename() itself - otherwise we'd need to deal with the
possibility of failure after successful shmem_whiteout().

netfilter: nf_tables: avoid softlockup warnings in nft_chain_validate
This reverts commit 314c82841602 ("netfilter: nf_tables: can't schedule in nft_chain_validate"):
Since commit a60a5abe19d6 ("netfilter: nf_tables: allow iter callbacks to sleep")
the iterator callback is invoked without rcu read lock held, so this
cond_resched() is now valid.
Currently nf_tables will traverse the entire table (chain graph), starting
from the entry points (base chains), exploring all possible paths
(chain jumps). But there are cases where we could avoid revalidation.
Then the second rule does not need to revalidate j2, and, by extension j3,
because this was already checked during validation of the first rule.
We need to validate it only for rule 3.
This is needed because chain loop detection also ensures we do not exceed
the jump stack: Just because we know that j2 is cycle free, its last jump
might now exceed the allowed stack size. We also need to update all
reachable chains with the new largest observed call depth.
Care has to be taken to revalidate even if the chain depth won't be an
issue: chain validation also ensures that expressions are not called from
invalid base chains. For example, the masquerade expression can only be
called from NAT postrouting base chains.
Therefore we also need to keep record of the base chain context (type,
hooknum) and revalidate if the chain becomes reachable from a different
hook location.

fsnotify: do not generate ACCESS/MODIFY events on child for special files
inotify/fanotify do not allow users with no read access to a file to
subscribe to events (e.g. IN_ACCESS/IN_MODIFY), but they do allow the
same user to subscribe for watching events on children when the user
has access to the parent directory (e.g. /dev).
Users with no read access to a file but with read access to its parent
directory can still stat the file and see if it was accessed/modified
via atime/mtime change.
The same is not true for special files (e.g. /dev/null). Users will not
generally observe atime/mtime changes when other users read/write to
special files, only when someone sets atime/mtime via utimensat().
Align fsnotify events with this stat behavior and do not generate
ACCESS/MODIFY events to parent watchers on read/write of special files.
The events are still generated to parent watchers on utimensat(). This
closes some side-channels that could be possibly used for information
exfiltration [1].

smb: server: defer the initial recv completion logic to smb_direct_negotiate_recv_work()
The previous change to relax WARN_ON_ONCE(SMBDIRECT_SOCKET_*) checks in

problem that the order of initial recv completion and
RDMA_CM_EVENT_ESTABLISHED is random, but it's still
a bit ugly.
This implements a better solution deferring the recv completion
processing to smb_direct_negotiate_recv_work(), which is queued
only if both events arrived.
In order to avoid more basic changes to the main recv_done
callback, I introduced a smb_direct_negotiate_recv_done,
which is only used for the first pdu, this will allow
further cleanup and simplifications in recv_done
as a future patch.
smb_direct_negotiate_recv_work() is also very basic
with only basic error checking and the transition
from SMBDIRECT_SOCKET_NEGOTIATE_NEEDED to
SMBDIRECT_SOCKET_NEGOTIATE_RUNNING, which allows
smb_direct_prepare() to continue as before.
