OF-based GPIO controller drivers may provide a translation function that
calculates the real chip offset from whatever devicetree sources
provide. We need to take this into account in the shared GPIO management
and call of_xlate() if it's provided and adjust the entry->offset we
initially set when scanning the tree.
To that end: modify the shared GPIO API to take the GPIO chip as
argument on setup (to avoid having to rcu_dereference() it from the GPIO
device) and protect the access to entry->offset with the existing lock.

Pull debugobjects fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"A single fix for debugobjects.
The deferred page initialization prevents debug objects from
allocating slab pages until the initialization is complete. That
causes depletion of the pool and disabling of debugobjects.
The reason is that debugobjects uses __GFP_HIGH for allocations as it
might be invoked from arbitrary contexts. When PREEMPT_COUNT is
disabled there is no way to know whether the context is safe to set
__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
This worked until v6.18. Since then allocations w/o a reclaim flag
cause new_slab() to end up in alloc_frozen_pages_nolock_noprof(),
which returns early when deferred page initialization has not yet
completed.
Work around that when PREEMPT_COUNT is enabled as the preempt counter
allows debugobjects to add __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to the GFP flags when
the context is preemtible. When PREEMPT_COUNT is disabled the context
is unknown and the reclaim bit can't be set because the caller might
hold locks which might deadlock in the allocator.
That makes debugobjects depend on PREEMPT_COUNT ||
!DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT, which limits the coverage slightly, but
keeps it functional for most cases"

Fix invariant violation for single-value tnums
We're hitting an invariant violation in Cilium that sometimes leads to
BPF programs being rejected and Cilium failing to start [1]. As far as
I know this is the first case of invariant violation found in a real
program (i.e., not by a fuzzer). The following extract from verifier
logs shows what's happening:
More details are given in the second patch, but in short, the verifier
should be able to detect that the false branch of instruction 237 is
never true. After instruction 236, the u64 range and the tnum overlap
in a single value, 0xf00.
The long-term solution to invariant violation is likely to rely on the
refinement + invariant violation check to detect dead branches, as
started by Eduard. To fix the current issue, we need something with
less refactoring that we can backport to affected kernels.
The solution implemented in the second patch is to improve the bounds
refinement to avoid this case. It relies on a new tnum helper,
tnum_step, first sent as an RFC in [2]. The last two patches extend and
update the selftests.

selftests/bpf: Avoid simplification of crafted bounds test
The reg_bounds_crafted tests validate the verifier's range analysis
logic. They focus on the actual ranges and thus ignore the tnum. As a
consequence, they carry the assumption that the tested cases can be
reproduced in userspace without using the tnum information.
Unfortunately, the previous change the refinement logic breaks that
assumption for one test case:
The tested bytecode is shown below. Without our previous improvement, on
the false branch of the condition, R7 is only known to have u64 range
[0xfffffffe; 0x100000000]. With our improvement, and using the tnum
information, we can deduce that R7 equals 0x100000000.
R7's tnum is (0; 0x1ffffffff). On the false branch, regs_refine_cond_op
refines R7's u32 range to [0; 0x7fffffff]. Then, __reg32_deduce_bounds
refines the s32 range to 0 using u32 and finally also sets u32=0.
From this, __reg_bound_offset improves the tnum to (0; 0x100000000).
Finally, our previous patch uses this new tnum to deduce that it only
intersect with u64=[0xfffffffe; 0x100000000] in a single value:
0x100000000.
Because the verifier uses the tnum to reach this constant value, the
selftest is unable to reproduce it by only simulating ranges. The
solution implemented in this patch is to change the test case such that
there is more than one overlap value between u64 and the tnum. The max.
u64 value is thus changed from 0x100000000 to 0x300000000.

selftests/bpf: Test refinement of single-value tnum
This patch introduces selftests to cover the new bounds refinement
logic introduced in the previous patch. Without the previous patch,
the first two tests fail because of the invariant violation they
trigger. The last test fails because the R10 access is not detected as
dead code. In addition, all three tests fail because of R0 having a
non-constant value in the verifier logs.
In addition, the last two cases are covering the negative cases: when we
shouldn't refine the bounds because the u64 and tnum overlap in at least
two values.

bpf: Improve bounds when tnum has a single possible value
We're hitting an invariant violation in Cilium that sometimes leads to
BPF programs being rejected and Cilium failing to start [1]. The
following extract from verifier logs shows what's happening:
We reach instruction 236 with two possible values for R9, 0xe00 and
0xf00. This is perfectly reflected in the tnum, but of course the ranges
are less accurate and cover [0xe00; 0xf00]. Taking the fallthrough path
at instruction 236 allows the verifier to reduce the range to
[0xe01; 0xf00]. The tnum is however not updated.
With these ranges, at instruction 237, the verifier is not able to
deduce that R9 is always equal to 0xf00. Hence the fallthrough pass is
explored first, the verifier refines the bounds using the assumption
that R9 != 0xf00, and ends up with an invariant violation.
This pattern of impossible branch + bounds refinement is common to all
invariant violations seen so far. The long-term solution is likely to
rely on the refinement + invariant violation check to detect dead
branches, as started by Eduard. To fix the current issue, we need
something with less refactoring that we can backport.
This patch uses the tnum_step helper introduced in the previous patch to
detect the above situation. In particular, three cases are now detected
in the bounds refinement:
1. The u64 range and the tnum only overlap in umin.
u64: ---[xxxxxx]-----
tnum: --xx----------x-
2. The u64 range and the tnum only overlap in the maximum value
represented by the tnum, called tmax.
u64: ---[xxxxxx]-----
tnum: xx-----x--------
3. The u64 range and the tnum only overlap in between umin (excluded)
and umax.
u64: ---[xxxxxx]-----
tnum: xx----x-------x-
To detect these three cases, we call tnum_step(tnum, umin), which
returns the smallest member of the tnum greater than umin, called
tnum_next here. We're in case (1) if umin is part of the tnum and
tnum_next is greater than umax. We're in case (2) if umin is not part of
the tnum and tnum_next is equal to tmax. Finally, we're in case (3) if
umin is not part of the tnum, tnum_next is inferior or equal to umax,
and calling tnum_step a second time gives us a value past umax.
This change implements these three cases. With it, the above bytecode
looks as follows:
In addition to the new selftests, this change was also verified with
Agni [3]. For the record, the raw SMT is available at [4]. The property
it verifies is that: If a concrete value x is contained in all input
abstract values, after __update_reg_bounds, it will continue to be
contained in all output abstract values.
bpf: Introduce tnum_step to step through tnum's members
This commit introduces tnum_step(), a function that, when given t, and a
number z returns the smallest member of t larger than z. The number z
must be greater or equal to the smallest member of t and less than the
largest member of t.
The first step is to compute j, a number that keeps all of t's known
bits, and matches all unknown bits to z's bits. Since j is a member of
the t, it is already a candidate for result. However, we want our result
to be (minimally) greater than z.
There are only two possible cases:
(1) Case j <= z. In this case, we want to increase the value of j and
make it > z.
(2) Case j > z. In this case, we want to decrease the value of j while
keeping it > z.
(Case 1.1) Let's first consider the case where j < z. We will address j
== z later.
Since z > j, there had to be a bit position that was 1 in z and a 0 in
j, beyond which all positions of higher significance are equal in j and
z. Further, this position could not have been unknown in a, because the
unknown positions of a match z. This position had to be a 1 in z and
known 0 in t.
Let k be position of the most significant 1-to-0 flip. In our example, k
= 3 (starting the count at 1 at the least significant bit). Setting (to
1) the unknown bits of t in positions of significance smaller than
k will not produce a result > z. Hence, we must set/unset the unknown
bits at positions of significance higher than k. Specifically, we look
for the next larger combination of 1s and 0s to place in those
positions, relative to the combination that exists in z. We can achieve
this by concatenating bits at unknown positions of t into an integer,
adding 1, and writing the bits of that result back into the
corresponding bit positions previously extracted from z.
>From our example, considering only positions of significance greater
than k:
t = xx..x
z = 10..1
+ 1
-----
11..0
This is the exact combination 1s and 0s we need at the unknown bits of t
in positions of significance greater than k. Further, our result must
only increase the value minimally above z. Hence, unknown bits in
positions of significance smaller than k should remain 0. We finally
have,
Matching the unknown bits of the t to the bits of z yielded exactly z.
To produce a number greater than z, we must set/unset the unknown bits
in t, and *all* the unknown bits of t candidates for being set/unset. We
can do this similar to Case 1.1, by adding 1 to the bits extracted from
the masked bit positions of z. Essentially, this case is equivalent to
Case 1.1, with k = 0.
t = 1x1x0xxx
z = .0.1.100
+ 1
---------
.0.1.101
This is the exact combination of bits needed in the unknown positions of
t. After recalling the known positions of t, we get
Since j > z, there had to be a bit position which was 0 in z, and a 1 in
j, beyond which all positions of higher significance are equal in j and
z. This position had to be a 0 in z and known 1 in t. Let k be the
position of the most significant 0-to-1 flip. In our example, k = 4.
Because of the 0-to-1 flip at position k, a member of t can become
greater than z if the bits in positions greater than k are themselves >=
to z. To make that member *minimally* greater than z, the bits in
positions greater than k must be exactly = z. Hence, we simply match all
of t's unknown bits in positions more significant than k to z's bits. In
positions less significant than k, we set all t's unknown bits to 0
to retain minimality.
In our example, in positions of greater significance than k (=4),
t=x000. These positions are matched with z (1000) to produce 1000. In
positions of lower significance than k, t=10x1. All unknown bits are set
to 0 to produce 1001. The final result is:
This concludes the computation for a result > z that is a member of t.
The procedure for tnum_step() in this commit implements the idea
described above. As a proof of correctness, we verified the algorithm
against a logical specification of tnum_step. The specification asserts
the following about the inputs t, z and output res that:
1. res is a member of t, and
2. res is strictly greater than z, and
3. there does not exist another value res2 such that
3a. res2 is also a member of t, and
3b. res2 is greater than z
3c. res2 is smaller than res
We checked the implementation against this logical specification using
an SMT solver. The verification formula in SMTLIB format is available
at [1]. The verification returned an "unsat": indicating that no input
assignment exists for which the implementation and the specification
produce different outputs.
In addition, we also automatically generated the logical encoding of the
C implementation using Agni [2] and verified it against the same
specification. This verification also returned an "unsat", confirming
that the implementation is equivalent to the specification. The formula
for this check is also available at [3].

bpf: Fix per-CPU bulk queue races on PREEMPT_RT
On PREEMPT_RT kernels, local_bh_disable() only calls migrate_disable()
(when PREEMPT_RT_NEEDS_BH_LOCK is not set) and does not disable
preemption. This means CFS scheduling can preempt a task inside the
per-CPU bulk queue (bq) operations in cpumap and devmap, allowing
another task on the same CPU to concurrently access the same bq,
leading to use-after-free, list corruption, and kernel panics.
Patch 1 fixes the cpumap race in bq_flush_to_queue(), originally
reported by syzbot [1].
Patch 2 fixes the same class of race in devmap's bq_xmit_all(),
identified by code inspection after Sebastian Andrzej Siewior pointed
out that devmap has the same per-CPU bulk queue pattern [2].
Both patches use local_lock_nested_bh() to serialize access to the
per-CPU bq. On non-RT this is a pure lockdep annotation with no
overhead; on PREEMPT_RT it provides a per-CPU sleeping lock.
To reproduce the devmap race, insert an mdelay(100) in bq_xmit_all()
after "cnt = bq->count" and before the actual transmit loop. Then pin
two threads to the same CPU, each running BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN with an XDP
program that redirects to a DEVMAP entry (e.g. a veth pair). CFS
timeslicing during the mdelay window causes interleaving. Without the
fix, KASAN reports null-ptr-deref due to operating on freed frames:

bpf: Fix race in devmap on PREEMPT_RT
On PREEMPT_RT kernels, the per-CPU xdp_dev_bulk_queue (bq) can be
accessed concurrently by multiple preemptible tasks on the same CPU.
The original code assumes bq_enqueue() and __dev_flush() run atomically
with respect to each other on the same CPU, relying on
local_bh_disable() to prevent preemption. However, on PREEMPT_RT,
local_bh_disable() only calls migrate_disable() (when
PREEMPT_RT_NEEDS_BH_LOCK is not set) and does not disable
preemption, which allows CFS scheduling to preempt a task during
bq_xmit_all(), enabling another task on the same CPU to enter
bq_enqueue() and operate on the same per-CPU bq concurrently.
This leads to several races:
1. Double-free / use-after-free on bq->q[]: bq_xmit_all() snapshots
cnt = bq->count, then iterates bq->q[0..cnt-1] to transmit frames.
If preempted after the snapshot, a second task can call bq_enqueue()
-> bq_xmit_all() on the same bq, transmitting (and freeing) the
same frames. When the first task resumes, it operates on stale
pointers in bq->q[], causing use-after-free.
2. bq->count and bq->q[] corruption: concurrent bq_enqueue() modifying
bq->count and bq->q[] while bq_xmit_all() is reading them.
3. dev_rx/xdp_prog teardown race: __dev_flush() clears bq->dev_rx and
bq->xdp_prog after bq_xmit_all(). If preempted between
bq_xmit_all() return and bq->dev_rx = NULL, a preempting
bq_enqueue() sees dev_rx still set (non-NULL), skips adding bq to
the flush_list, and enqueues a frame. When __dev_flush() resumes,
it clears dev_rx and removes bq from the flush_list, orphaning the
newly enqueued frame.
4. __list_del_clearprev() on flush_node: similar to the cpumap race,
both tasks can call __list_del_clearprev() on the same flush_node,
the second dereferences the prev pointer already set to NULL.
The race between task A (__dev_flush -> bq_xmit_all) and task B
(bq_enqueue -> bq_xmit_all) on the same CPU:
Task A (xdp_do_flush) Task B (ndo_xdp_xmit redirect)
---------------------- --------------------------------
__dev_flush(flush_list)
bq_xmit_all(bq)
cnt = bq->count /* e.g. 16 */
/* start iterating bq->q[] */
<-- CFS preempts Task A -->
bq_enqueue(dev, xdpf)
bq->count == DEV_MAP_BULK_SIZE
bq_xmit_all(bq, 0)
cnt = bq->count /* same 16! */
ndo_xdp_xmit(bq->q[])
/* frames freed by driver */
bq->count = 0
<-- Task A resumes -->
ndo_xdp_xmit(bq->q[])
/* use-after-free: frames already freed! */
Fix this by adding a local_lock_t to xdp_dev_bulk_queue and acquiring
it in bq_enqueue() and __dev_flush(). These paths already run under
local_bh_disable(), so use local_lock_nested_bh() which on non-RT is
a pure annotation with no overhead, and on PREEMPT_RT provides a
per-CPU sleeping lock that serializes access to the bq.

====================
Close race in freeing special fields and map value
There exists a race across various map types where the freeing of
special fields (tw, timer, wq, kptr, etc.) can be done eagerly when a
logical delete operation is done on a map value, such that the program
which continues to have access to such a map value can recreate the
fields and cause them to leak.
The set contains fixes for this case. It is a continuation of Mykyta's
previous attempt in [0], but applies to all fields. A test is included
which reproduces the bug reliably in absence of the fixes.
Local Storage Benchmarks
------------------------
Evaluation Setup: Benchmarked on a dual-socket Intel Xeon Gold 6348 (Ice
Lake) @ 2.60GHz (56 cores / 112 threads), with the CPU governor set to
performance. Bench was pinned to a single NUMA node throughout the test.
Benchmark comes from [1] using the following command:
./bench -p 1 local-storage-create --storage-type <socket,task> --batch-size <16,32,64>
Before the test, 10 runs of all cases ([socket|task] x 3 batch sizes x 7
iterations per batch size) are done to warm up and prime the machine.
Then, 3 runs of all cases are done (with and without the patch, across
reboots).
For each comparison, we have 21 samples, i.e. per batch size (e.g.
socket 16) of a given local storage, we have 3 runs x 7 iterations.
The statistics (mean, median, stddev) and t-test is done for each
scenario (local storage and batch size pair) individually (21 samples
for either case). All values are for local storage creations in thousand
creations / sec (k/s).
The cases for socket are within the range of noise, and improvements in task
local storage are due to high variance (CV ~4%-6% across batch sizes). The only
statistically significant case worth mentioning is socket with batch size 64
with p-value from t-test < 0.05, but the absolute difference is small (~2k/s).
TL;DR there doesn't appear to be any significant regression or improvement.
* Add Paul's Reviewed-by.
* Fix use-after-free in accessing bpf_mem_alloc embedded in map. (syzbot CI)
* Add benchmark numbers for local storage.
* Add extra test case for per-cpu hashmap coverage with up to 16 refcount leaks.
* Target bpf tree.
====================
Add a couple of tests to ensure that the refcount drops to zero when we
exercise the race where creation of a special field succeeds the logical
bpf_obj_free_fields done when deleting an element. Prior to previous
changes, the fields would be freed eagerly and repopulate and end up
leaking, causing the reference to not drop down correctly. Running this
test on a kernel without fixes will cause a hang in delete_module, since
the module reference stays active due to the leaked kptr not dropping
it. After the fixes tests succeed as expected.
Currently, when use_kmalloc_nolock is false, the freeing of fields for a
local storage selem is done eagerly before waiting for the RCU or RCU
tasks trace grace period to elapse. This opens up a window where the
program which has access to the selem can recreate the fields after the
freeing of fields is done eagerly, causing memory leaks when the element
is finally freed and returned to the kernel.
Make a few changes to address this. First, delay the freeing of fields
until after the grace periods have expired using a __bpf_selem_free_rcu
wrapper which is eventually invoked after transitioning through the
necessary number of grace period waits. Replace usage of the kfree_rcu
with call_rcu to be able to take a custom callback. Finally, care needs
to be taken to extend the rcu barriers for all cases, and not just when
use_kmalloc_nolock is true, as RCU and RCU tasks trace callbacks can be
in flight for either case and access the smap field, which is used to
obtain the BTF record to walk over special fields in the map value.
While we're at it, drop migrate_disable() from bpf_selem_free_rcu, since
migration should be disabled for RCU callbacks already.
BPF hash map may now use the map_check_btf() callback to decide whether
to set a dtor on its bpf_mem_alloc or not. Unlike C++ where members can
opt out of const-ness using mutable, we must lose the const qualifier on
the callback such that we can avoid the ugly cast. Make the change and
adjust all existing users, and lose the comment in hashtab.c.
There is a race window where BPF hash map elements can leak special
fields if the program with access to the map value recreates these
special fields between the check_and_free_fields done on the map value
and its eventual return to the memory allocator.
Several ways were explored prior to this patch, most notably [0] tried
to use a poison value to reject attempts to recreate special fields for
map values that have been logically deleted but still accessible to BPF
programs (either while sitting in the free list or when reused). While
this approach works well for task work, timers, wq, etc., it is harder
to apply the idea to kptrs, which have a similar race and failure mode.
Instead, we change bpf_mem_alloc to allow registering destructor for
allocated elements, such that when they are returned to the allocator,
any special fields created while they were accessible to programs in the
mean time will be freed. If these values get reused, we do not free the
fields again before handing the element back. The special fields thus
may remain initialized while the map value sits in a free list.
When bpf_mem_alloc is retired in the future, a similar concept can be
introduced to kmalloc_nolock-backed kmem_cache, paired with the existing
idea of a constructor.
Note that the destructor registration happens in map_check_btf, after
the BTF record is populated and (at that point) avaiable for inspection
and duplication. Duplication is necessary since the freeing of embedded
bpf_mem_alloc can be decoupled from actual map lifetime due to logic
introduced to reduce the cost of rcu_barrier()s in mem alloc free path in 9f2c6e96c65e ("bpf: Optimize rcu_barrier usage between hash map and bpf_mem_alloc.").
As such, once all callbacks are done, we must also free the duplicated
record. To remove dependency on the bpf_map itself, also stash the key
size of the map to obtain value from htab_elem long after the map is
gone.

mm/slab: initialize slab->stride early to avoid memory ordering issues
When alloc_slab_obj_exts() is called later (instead of during slab
allocation and initialization), slab->stride and slab->obj_exts are
updated after the slab is already accessible by multiple CPUs.
The current implementation does not enforce memory ordering between
slab->stride and slab->obj_exts. For correctness, slab->stride must be
visible before slab->obj_exts. Otherwise, concurrent readers may observe
slab->obj_exts as non-zero while stride is still stale.
With stale slab->stride, slab_obj_ext() could return the wrong obj_ext.
This could cause two problems:
- obj_cgroup_put() is called on the wrong objcg, leading to
a use-after-free due to incorrect reference counting [1] by
decrementing the reference count more than it was incremented.
- refill_obj_stock() is called on the wrong objcg, leading to
a page_counter overflow [2] by uncharging more memory than charged.
Fix this by unconditionally initializing slab->stride in
alloc_slab_obj_exts_early(), before the need_slab_obj_exts() check.
In the case of SLAB_OBJ_EXT_IN_OBJ, it is overridden in the function.
This ensures updates to slab->stride become visible before the slab
can be accessed by other CPUs via the per-node partial slab list
(protected by spinlock with acquire/release semantics).
Thanks to Shakeel Butt for pointing out this issue [3].
[vbabka@kernel.org: the bug reports [1] and [2] are not yet fully fixed,
with investigation ongoing, but it is nevertheless a step in the right
direction to only set stride once after allocating the slab and not
change it later ]

gpio: Fix resource leaks on errors in gpiochip_add_data_with_key()
Since commit aab5c6f20023 ("gpio: set device type for GPIO chips"),
`gdev->dev.release` is unset. As a result, the reference count to
`gdev->dev` isn't dropped on the error handling paths.
Drop the reference on errors.
Also reorder the instructions to make the error handling simpler.
Now gpiochip_add_data_with_key() roughly looks like:
>>> Some memory allocation. Go to ERR ZONE 1 on errors.
>>> device_initialize().
gpiodev_release() takes over the responsibility for freeing the
resources of `gdev->dev`. The subsequent error handling paths
shouldn't go through ERR ZONE 1 again which leads to double free.
>>> Some initialization mainly on `gdev`.
>>> The rest of initialization. Go to ERR ZONE 2 on errors.
>>> Chip registration success and exit.
>>> ERR ZONE 2. gpio_device_put() and exit.
>>> ERR ZONE 1.

bpf: Fix stack-out-of-bounds write in devmap
get_upper_ifindexes() iterates over all upper devices and writes their
indices into an array without checking bounds.
Also the callers assume that the max number of upper devices is
MAX_NEST_DEV and allocate excluded_devices[1+MAX_NEST_DEV] on the stack,
but that assumption is not correct and the number of upper devices could
be larger than MAX_NEST_DEV (e.g., many macvlans), causing a
stack-out-of-bounds write.
Add a max parameter to get_upper_ifindexes() to avoid the issue.
When there are too many upper devices, return -EOVERFLOW and abort the
redirect.
To reproduce, create more than MAX_NEST_DEV(8) macvlans on a device with
an XDP program attached using BPF_F_BROADCAST | BPF_F_EXCLUDE_INGRESS.
Then send a packet to the device to trigger the XDP redirect path.

bpf, arm64: Force 8-byte alignment for JIT buffer to prevent atomic tearing
struct bpf_plt contains a u64 target field. Currently, the BPF JIT
allocator requests an alignment of 4 bytes (sizeof(u32)) for the JIT
buffer.
Because the base address of the JIT buffer can be 4-byte aligned (e.g.,
ending in 0x4 or 0xc), the relative padding logic in build_plt() fails
to ensure that target lands on an 8-byte boundary.
This leads to two issues:
1. UBSAN reports misaligned-access warnings when dereferencing the
structure.
2. More critically, target is updated concurrently via WRITE_ONCE() in
bpf_arch_text_poke() while the JIT'd code executes ldr. On arm64,
64-bit loads/stores are only guaranteed to be single-copy atomic if
they are 64-bit aligned. A misaligned target risks a torn read,
causing the JIT to jump to a corrupted address.
Fix this by increasing the allocation alignment requirement to 8 bytes
(sizeof(u64)) in bpf_jit_binary_pack_alloc(). This anchors the base of
the JIT buffer to an 8-byte boundary, allowing the relative padding math
in build_plt() to correctly align the target field.

arm64: topology: Fix false warning in counters_read_on_cpu() for same-CPU reads
The counters_read_on_cpu() function warns when called with IRQs
disabled to prevent deadlock in smp_call_function_single(). However,
this warning is spurious when reading counters on the current CPU,
since no IPI is needed for same CPU reads.
Commit 12eb8f4fff24 ("cpufreq: CPPC: Update FIE arch_freq_scale in
ticks for non-PCC regs") changed the CPPC Frequency Invariance Engine
to read AMU counters directly from the scheduler tick for non-PCC
register spaces (like FFH), instead of deferring to a kthread. This
means counters_read_on_cpu() is now called with IRQs disabled from the
tick handler, triggering the warning.
Fix this by restructuring the logic: when IRQs are disabled (tick
context), call the function directly for same-CPU reads. Otherwise
use smp_call_function_single().

mm/slub: drop duplicate kernel-doc for ksize()
The implementation of ksize() was updated with kernel-doc by commit fab0694646d7 ("mm/slab: move [__]ksize and slab_ksize() to mm/slub.c")
However, the public header still contains a kernel-doc comment

netfilter: nf_conntrack_h323: fix OOB read in decode_choice()
In decode_choice(), the boundary check before get_len() uses the
variable `len`, which is still 0 from its initialization at the top of
the function:
unsigned int type, ext, len = 0;
...
if (ext || (son->attr & OPEN)) {
BYTE_ALIGN(bs);
if (nf_h323_error_boundary(bs, len, 0)) /* len is 0 here */

len = get_len(bs); /* OOB read */
When the bitstream is exactly consumed (bs->cur == bs->end), the check
nf_h323_error_boundary(bs, 0, 0) evaluates to (bs->cur + 0 > bs->end),
which is false. The subsequent get_len() call then dereferences
*bs->cur++, reading 1 byte past the end of the buffer. If that byte
has bit 7 set, get_len() reads a second byte as well.
This can be triggered remotely by sending a crafted Q.931 SETUP message
with a User-User Information Element containing exactly 2 bytes of
PER-encoded data ({0x08, 0x00}) to port 1720 through a firewall with
the nf_conntrack_h323 helper active. The decoder fully consumes the
PER buffer before reaching this code path, resulting in a 1-2 byte
heap-buffer-overflow read confirmed by AddressSanitizer.
Fix this by checking for 2 bytes (the maximum that get_len() may read)
instead of the uninitialized `len`. This matches the pattern used at
every other get_len() call site in the same file, where the caller
checks for 2 bytes of available data before calling get_len().

net: consume xmit errors of GSO frames
udpgro_frglist.sh and udpgro_bench.sh are the flakiest tests
currently in NIPA. They fail in the same exact way, TCP GRO
test stalls occasionally and the test gets killed after 10min.
These tests use veth to simulate GRO. They attach a trivial
("return XDP_PASS;") XDP program to the veth to force TSO off
and NAPI on.
Digging into the failure mode we can see that the connection
is completely stuck after a burst of drops. The sender's snd_nxt
is at sequence number N [1], but the receiver claims to have
received (rcv_nxt) up to N + 3 * MSS [2]. Last piece of the puzzle
is that senders rtx queue is not empty (let's say the block in
the rtx queue is at sequence number N - 4 * MSS [3]).
In this state, sender sends a retransmission from the rtx queue
with a single segment, and sequence numbers N-4*MSS:N-3*MSS [3].
Receiver sees it and responds with an ACK all the way up to
N + 3 * MSS [2]. But sender will reject this ack as TCP_ACK_UNSENT_DATA
because it has no recollection of ever sending data that far out [1].
And we are stuck.
The root cause is the mess of the xmit return codes. veth returns
an error when it can't xmit a frame. We end up with a loss event
like this:
-------------------------------------------------
| GSO super frame 1 | GSO super frame 2 |
|-----------------------------------------------|
| seg | seg | seg | seg | seg | seg | seg | seg |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
-------------------------------------------------
x ok ok <ok>| ok ok ok <x>
\\
snd_nxt
"x" means packet lost by veth, and "ok" means it went thru.
Since veth has TSO disabled in this test it sees individual segments.
Segment 1 is on the retransmit queue and will be resent.
So why did the sender not advance snd_nxt even tho it clearly did
send up to seg 8? tcp_write_xmit() interprets the return code
from the core to mean that data has not been sent at all. Since
TCP deals with GSO super frames, not individual segment the crux
of the problem is that loss of a single segment can be interpreted
as loss of all. TCP only sees the last return code for the last
segment of the GSO frame (in <> brackets in the diagram above).
Of course for the problem to occur we need a setup or a device
without a Qdisc. Otherwise Qdisc layer disconnects the protocol
layer from the device errors completely.
We have multiple ways to fix this.
1) make veth not return an error when it lost a packet.
While this is what I think we did in the past, the issue keeps
reappearing and it's annoying to debug. The game of whack
a mole is not great.
2) fix the damn return codes
We only talk about NETDEV_TX_OK and NETDEV_TX_BUSY in the
documentation, so maybe we should make the return code from
ndo_start_xmit() a boolean. I like that the most, but perhaps
some ancient, not-really-networking protocol would suffer.
3) make TCP ignore the errors
It is not entirely clear to me what benefit TCP gets from
interpreting the result of ip_queue_xmit()? Specifically once
the connection is established and we're pushing data - packet
loss is just packet loss?
4) this fix
Ignore the rc in the Qdisc-less+GSO case, since it's unreliable.
We already always return OK in the TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS case.
In the Qdisc-less case let's be a bit more conservative and only
mask the GSO errors. This path is taken by non-IP-"networks"
like CAN, MCTP etc, so we could regress some ancient thing.
This is the simplest, but also maybe the hackiest fix?
Similar fix has been proposed by Eric in the past but never committed
because original reporter was working with an OOT driver and wasn't
providing feedback (see Link).
