net: fix reference tracker mismanagement in netdev_put_lock()
dev_put() releases a reference which didn't have a tracker.
References without a tracker are accounted in the tracking
code as "no_tracker". We can't free the tracker and then
call dev_put(). The references themselves will be fine
but the tracking code will think it's a double-release:
refcount_t: decrement hit 0; leaking memory.
IOW commit under fixes confused dev_put() (release never tracked
reference) with __dev_put() (just release the reference, skipping
the reference tracking infra).
Since __netdev_put_lock() uses dev_put() we can't feed a previously
tracked netdev ref into it. Let's flip things around.
netdev_put(dev, NULL) is the same as dev_put(dev) so make
netdev_put_lock() the real function and have __netdev_put_lock()
feed it a NULL tracker for all the cases that were untracked.

net: dsa: tag_rtl8_4: fixes doc and set keep
This small series addresses two points in the rtl8_4 tagger used by the
realtel rtl8365mb driver.
The first patch updates the documentation of the tag format while the
second patch sets the KEEP flag bit, ensuring that the switch
respects the frame's VLAN format as provided by the kernel.
These patches were previously part of a larger series but are being
submitted independently as they are self-contained and already
received review.
KEEP=1 is needed because we should respect the format of the packet as
the kernel sends it to us. Unless tx forward offloading is used, the
kernel is giving us the packet exactly as it should leave the specified
port on the wire. Until now this was not needed because the ports were
always functioning in a standalone mode in a VLAN-unaware way, so the
switch would not tag or untag frames anyway. But arguably it should have
been KEEP=1 all along.
Save the current mode of flow control, and enhance the statistics of
pause frames.
The received pause frames are divided into XON and XOFF to be counted.
And due to the hardware defect of SP devices, XON packets cannot be
trasmitted correctly, so Tx XON pause is disabled by default for those
devices.
The WX_PX_MPRC registers are not clear-on-read hardware counters. The
previous implementation directly read and accumulated these 32-bit values
into a 64-bit software counter. Now implement a rd32_wrap() helper
function to calculate the delta counter to correct the statistic.
net: wangxun: schedule hardware stats update in watchdog
Hardware statistics should be updated periodically in the watchdog to
prevent 32-bit registers from overflowing. This is also required for the
upcoming pause frame accounting logic, which relies on regular statistics
sampling.
net: wangxun: reorder timer and work sync cancellations
When removing the device, timer_delete_sync(&wx->service_timer) is
called in .ndo_stop() after cancel_work_sync(&wx->service_task). This
may cause new work to be queued after device down.
Move unregister_netdev() before cancel_work_sync(), and use
timer_shutdown_sync() to prevent the timer from being re-armed.

zl3073x_out_is_ndiv() helper
- Convert open-coded clear-and-set bitfield patterns to FIELD_MODIFY()
- Add ref sync control and output clock type accessor helpers
Patch 4 adds the 'ref-sync-sources' phandle-array property to the
dpll-pin device tree binding schema and updates the ZL3073x binding

Patch 5 implements the driver support:
- ref_sync_get/set callbacks with frequency validation
- Automatic sync source exclusion from reference selection
- Device tree based ref-sync pair registration

net: dsa: mxl862xx: VLAN support and minor improvements
This series adds VLAN offloading to the mxl862xx DSA driver along
with two minor improvements to port setup and bridge configuration.
VLAN support uses a hybrid architecture combining the Extended VLAN
engine for PVID insertion and tag stripping with the VLAN Filter
engine for per-port VID membership, both drawing from shared
1024-entry hardware pools partitioned across user ports at probe time.

net: dsa: mxl862xx: implement VLAN functionality
Add VLAN support using both the Extended VLAN (EVLAN) engine and the
VLAN Filter (VF) engine in a hybrid architecture that allows a higher
number of VIDs than either engine could achieve alone.
The VLAN Filter engine handles per-port VID membership checks with
discard-unmatched semantics. The Extended VLAN engine handles PVID
insertion on ingress (via fixed catchall rules) and tag stripping on
egress (2 rules per untagged VID). Tagged-only VIDs need no EVLAN
egress rules at all, so they consume only a VF entry.
Both engines draw from shared 1024-entry hardware pools. The VF pool
is divided equally among user ports for VID membership, while the
EVLAN pool is partitioned into small fixed-size ingress blocks (7
entries of catchall rules per port) and fixed-size egress blocks for
tag stripping.
With 5 user ports this yields up to 204 VIDs per port (limited by VF),
of which up to 98 can be untagged (limited by EVLAN egress budget).
With 9 user ports the numbers are 113 total and 53 untagged.
Wire up .port_vlan_add, .port_vlan_del, and .port_vlan_filtering.
Reprogram all EVLAN rules when the PVID or filtering mode changes.
Detach blocks from the bridge port before freeing them on bridge leave
to satisfy the firmware's internal refcount.
Future optimizations could increase VID capacity by dynamically sizing
the egress EVLAN blocks based on actual per-port untagged VID counts
rather than worst-case pre-allocation, or by sharing EVLAN egress and
VLAN Filter blocks across ports with identical VID sets.

net: bridge: add stp_mode attribute for STP mode selection
The bridge-stp usermode helper is currently restricted to the initial
network namespace, preventing userspace STP daemons like mstpd from
operating on bridges in other namespaces. Since commit ff62198553e4
("bridge: Only call /sbin/bridge-stp for the initial network
namespace"), bridges in non-init namespaces silently fall back to
kernel STP with no way to request userspace STP.
This series adds a new IFLA_BR_STP_MODE bridge attribute that allows
explicit per-bridge control over STP mode selection. Three modes are
supported:
- auto (default): existing behavior, try /sbin/bridge-stp in
init_net, fall back to kernel STP otherwise
- user: directly enable BR_USER_STP without invoking the helper,
works in any network namespace
- kernel: directly enable BR_KERNEL_STP without invoking the helper
The user and kernel modes bypass call_usermodehelper() entirely,
addressing the security concerns discussed at [1]. Userspace is
responsible for ensuring an STP daemon manages the bridge, rather
than relying on the kernel to invoke /sbin/bridge-stp.
Patch 1 adds the kernel support. The mode can only be changed while
STP is disabled and is processed before IFLA_BR_STP_STATE in
br_changelink() so both can be set atomically in a single netlink
message.
Patch 2 adds documentation for the new attribute in the bridge docs.
Patch 3 adds a selftest with 9 test cases. The test requires iproute2
with IFLA_BR_STP_MODE support and can be run with virtme-ng:

1. stp_mode defaults to auto on new bridges
2. stp_mode can be toggled between user, kernel, and auto
3. Changing stp_mode while STP is active is rejected with -EBUSY
4. Re-setting the same stp_mode while STP is active succeeds
5. stp_mode user in a network namespace yields userspace STP (stp_state=2)
6. stp_mode kernel forces kernel STP (stp_state=1)
7. stp_mode auto in a netns preserves traditional fallback to kernel STP
8. stp_mode and stp_state can be set atomically in a single message
9. stp_mode persists across STP disable/enable cycles
Test 5 is the key use case: it demonstrates that userspace STP can now
be enabled in non-init network namespaces by setting stp_mode to user
before enabling STP.
Test 8 verifies the atomic usage pattern where both attributes are set
in a single netlink message, which is supported because br_changelink()
processes IFLA_BR_STP_MODE before IFLA_BR_STP_STATE.
The test gracefully skips if the installed iproute2 does not support
the stp_mode attribute.

IFLA_BR_STP_STATE in br_changelink(), so both can be set atomically

same message that disables STP.
The stp_mode struct field is u8 since all possible values fit, while
NLA_U32 is used for the netlink attribute since it occupies the same
space in the netlink message as NLA_U8.
A new stp_helper_active boolean tracks whether the /sbin/bridge-stp
helper was invoked during br_stp_start(), so that br_stp_stop() only
calls the helper for stop when it was called for start. This avoids
calling the helper asymmetrically when stp_mode changes between
start and stop.

====================
netkit: Support for io_uring zero-copy and AF_XDP
Containers use virtual netdevs to route traffic from a physical netdev
in the host namespace. They do not have access to the physical netdev
in the host and thus can't use memory providers or AF_XDP that require
reconfiguring/restarting queues in the physical netdev.
This patchset adds the concept of queue leasing to virtual netdevs that
allow containers to use memory providers and AF_XDP at native speed.
Leased queues are bound to a real queue in a physical netdev and act
as a proxy.
Memory providers and AF_XDP operations take an ifindex and queue id,
so containers would pass in an ifindex for a virtual netdev and a queue
id of a leased queue, which then gets proxied to the underlying real
queue.
We have implemented support for this concept in netkit and tested the
latter against Nvidia ConnectX-6 (mlx5) as well as Broadcom BCM957504
(bnxt_en) 100G NICs. For more details see the individual patches.

selftests/net: Add queue leasing tests with netkit
Add extensive selftests for netkit queue leasing, using io_uring zero
copy test binary inside of a netns with netkit. This checks that memory
providers can be bound against virtual queues in a netkit within a
netns that are leasing from a physical netdev in the default netns.
Also add various test cases around corner cases for the queue creation
itself as well as queue info dumping and teardown in case of netkit in

netkit: Add xsk support for af_xdp applications
Enable support for AF_XDP applications to operate on a netkit device.
The goal is that AF_XDP applications can natively consume AF_XDP
from network namespaces. The use-case from Cilium side is to support
Kubernetes KubeVirt VMs through QEMU's AF_XDP backend. KubeVirt is a
virtual machine management add-on for Kubernetes which aims to provide
a common ground for virtualization. KubeVirt spawns the VMs inside
Kubernetes Pods which reside in their own network namespace just like
regular Pods.
Raw QEMU AF_XDP backend example with eth0 being a physical device with
16 queues where netkit is bound to the last queue (for multi-queue RSS
context can be used if supported by the driver):
# ethtool -X eth0 start 0 equal 15

We have tested the above against a dual-port Nvidia ConnectX-6 (mlx5)
100G NIC with successful network connectivity out of QEMU. An earlier
iteration of this work was presented at LSF/MM/BPF [0] and more
recently at LPC [1].
For getting to a first starting point to connect all things with
KubeVirt, bind mounting the xsk map from Cilium into the VM launcher
Pod which acts as a regular Kubernetes Pod while not perfect, is not
a big problem given its out of reach from the application sitting
inside the VM (and some of the control plane aspects are baked in
the launcher Pod already), so the isolation barrier is still the VM.
Eventually the goal is to have a XDP/XSK redirect extension where
there is no need to have the xsk map, and the BPF program can just
derive the target xsk through the queue where traffic was received
on.
The exposure through netkit is because Cilium should not act as a
proxy handing out xsk sockets. Existing applications expect a netdev
from kernel side and should not need to rewrite just to implement
against a CNI's protocol. Also, all the memory should not be accounted
against Cilium but rather the application Pod itself which is consuming
AF_XDP. Further, on up/downgrades we expect the data plane to being
completely decoupled from the control plane; if Cilium would own the
sockets that would be disruptive. Another use-case which opens up and
is regularly asked from users would be to have DPDK applications on
top of AF_XDP in regular Kubernetes Pods.

netkit: Add netkit notifier to check for unregistering devices
Add a netdevice notifier in netkit to watch for NETDEV_UNREGISTER events.
If the target device is indeed NETREG_UNREGISTERING and previously leased
a queue to a netkit device, then collect the related netkit devices and
batch-unregister_netdevice_many() them.
If this were not done, then the netkit device would hold a reference on
the physical device preventing it from going away. However, in case of
both io_uring zero-copy as well as AF_XDP this situation is handled
gracefully and the allocated resources are torn down.
In the case where mentioned infra is used through netkit, the applications
have a reference on netkit, and netkit in turn holds a reference on the
physical device. In order to have netkit release the reference on the
physical device, we need such watcher to then unregister the netkit ones.
This is generally quite similar to the dependency handling in case of
tunnels (e.g. vxlan bound to a underlying netdev) where the tunnel device
gets removed along with the physical device.

netkit: Implement rtnl_link_ops->alloc and ndo_queue_create
Implement rtnl_link_ops->alloc that allows the number of rx queues to be
set when netkit is created. By default, netkit has only a single rxq (and
single txq). The number of queues is deliberately not allowed to be changed
via ethtool -L and is fixed for the lifetime of a netkit instance.
For netkit device creation, numrxqueues with larger than one rxq can be
specified. These rxqs are leasable to real rxqs in physical netdevs:
ip link add type netkit peer numrxqueues 64 # for device pair
ip link add numrxqueues 64 type netkit single # for single device
The limit of numrxqueues for netkit is currently set to 1024, which allows
leasing multiple real rxqs from physical netdevs.
The implementation of ndo_queue_create() adds a new rxq during the queue
lease operation. We allow to create queues either in single device mode
or for the case of dual device mode for the netkit peer device which gets
placed into the target network namespace. For dual device mode the lease
against the primary device does not make sense for the targeted use cases,
and therefore gets rejected.
We also need to add a lockdep class for netkit, such that lockdep does
not trip over us, similarly done as in commit 0bef512012b1 ("net: add
netdev_lockdep_set_classes() to virtual drivers").
This is also the last missing bit to netkit for supporting io_uring with
zero-copy mode [0]. Up until this point it was not possible to consume the
latter out of containers or Kubernetes Pods where applications are in their
own network namespace.
io_uring example with eth0 being a physical device with 16 queues where
netkit is bound to the last queue, iou-zcrx.c is binary from selftests;
ethtool configuration (tcp-data-split, hds_thresh, RSS, flow steering)
is done on the physical device by the control plane; here, flow steering
to that queue is based on the service VIP:port of the server utilizing
io_uring:

netkit: Add single device mode for netkit
Add a single device mode for netkit instead of netkit pairs. The primary
target for the paired devices is to connect network namespaces, of course,
and support has been implemented in projects like Cilium [0]. For the rxq
leasing the plan is to support two main scenarios related to single device
mode:
* For the use-case of io_uring zero-copy, the control plane can either
set up a netkit pair where the peer device can perform rxq leasing which
is then tied to the lifetime of the peer device, or the control plane
can use a regular netkit pair to connect the hostns to a Pod/container
and dynamically add/remove rxq leasing through a single device without
having to interrupt the device pair. In the case of io_uring, the memory
pool is used as skb non-linear pages, and thus the skb will go its way
through the regular stack into netkit. Things like the netkit policy when
no BPF is attached or skb scrubbing etc apply as-is in case the paired
devices are used, or if the backend memory is tied to the single device
and traffic goes through a paired device.
* For the use-case of AF_XDP, the control plane needs to use netkit in the
single device mode. The single device mode currently enforces only a
pass policy when no BPF is attached, and does not yet support BPF link
attachments for AF_XDP. skbs sent to that device get dropped at the
moment. Given AF_XDP operates at a lower layer of the stack tying this
to the netkit pair did not make sense. In future, the plan is to allow
BPF at the XDP layer which can: i) process traffic coming from the AF_XDP
application (e.g. QEMU with AF_XDP backend) to filter egress traffic or
to push selected egress traffic up to the single netkit device to the
local stack (e.g. DHCP requests), and ii) vice-versa skbs sent to the
single netkit into the AF_XDP application (e.g. DHCP replies). Also,
the control-plane can dynamically manage rxq leasing for the single
netkit device without having to interrupt (e.g. down/up cycle) the main
netkit pair for the Pod which has traffic going in and out.

net: Add queue-create operation
Add a ynl netdev family operation called queue-create that creates a
new queue on a netdevice:
name: queue-create
attribute-set: queue
flags: [admin-perm]
do:
request:
attributes:
- ifindex
- type
- lease
reply: &queue-create-op
attributes:
- id
This is a generic operation such that it can be extended for various
use cases in future. Right now it is mandatory to specify ifindex,
the queue type which is enforced to rx and a lease. The newly created
queue id is returned to the caller.
A queue from a virtual device can have a lease which refers to another
queue from a physical device. This is useful for memory providers
and AF_XDP operations which take an ifindex and queue id to allow
applications to bind against virtual devices in containers. The lease
couples both queues together and allows to proxy the operations from
a virtual device in a container to the physical device.
In future, the nested lease attribute can be lifted and made optional
for other use-cases such as dynamic queue creation for physical
netdevs. The lack of lease and the specification of the physical
device as an ifindex will imply that we need a real queue to be
allocated. Similarly, the queue type enforcement to rx can then be
lifted as well to support tx.
An early implementation had only driver-specific integration [0], but
in order for other virtual devices to reuse, it makes sense to have
this as a generic API in core net.
For leasing queues, the virtual netdev must have real_num_rx_queues
less than num_rx_queues at the time of calling queue-create. The
queue-type must be rx as only rx queues are supported for leasing
for now. We also enforce that the queue-create ifindex must point
to a virtual device, and that the nested lease attribute's ifindex
must point to a physical device. The nested lease attribute set
contains a netns-id attribute which is optional and can specify a
netns-id relative to the caller's netns. It requires cap_net_admin
and if the netns-id attribute is not specified, the lease ifindex
will be retrieved from the current netns. Also, it is modeled as
an s32 type similarly as done elsewhere in the stack.

net: lan966x: fix page_pool error handling and error paths
This series fixes error handling around the lan966x page pool:
1/3 adds the missing IS_ERR check after page_pool_create(), preventing
a kernel oops when the error pointer flows into
xdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model().
2/3 plugs page pool leaks in the lan966x_fdma_rx_alloc() and
lan966x_fdma_init() error paths, now reachable after 1/3.
3/3 fixes a use-after-free and page pool leak in the
lan966x_fdma_reload() restore path, where the hardware could
resume DMA into pages already returned to the page pool.

net: lan966x: fix use-after-free and leak in lan966x_fdma_reload()
When lan966x_fdma_reload() fails to allocate new RX buffers, the restore
path restarts DMA using old descriptors whose pages were already freed
via lan966x_fdma_rx_free_pages(). Since page_pool_put_full_page() can
release pages back to the buddy allocator, the hardware may DMA into
memory now owned by other kernel subsystems.
Additionally, on the restore path, the newly created page pool (if
allocation partially succeeded) is overwritten without being destroyed,
leaking it.
Fix both issues by deferring the release of old pages until after the
new allocation succeeds. Save the old page array before the allocation
so old pages can be freed on the success path. On the failure path, the
old descriptors, pages and page pool are all still valid, making the
restore safe. Also ensure the restore path re-enables NAPI and wakes
the netdev, matching the success path.

iommu: Ensure .iotlb_sync is called correctly
Many drivers have no reason to use the iotlb_gather mechanism, but do
still depend on .iotlb_sync being called to properly complete an unmap.
Since the core code is now relying on the gather to detect when there
is legitimately something to sync, it should also take care of encoding
a successful unmap when the driver does not touch the gather itself.

nfc: pn533: allocate rx skb before consuming bytes
pn532_receive_buf() reports the number of accepted bytes to the serdev
core. The current code consumes bytes into recv_skb and may already hand
a complete frame to pn533_recv_frame() before allocating a fresh receive
buffer.
If that alloc_skb() fails, the callback returns 0 even though it has
already consumed bytes, and it leaves recv_skb as NULL for the next
receive callback. That breaks the receive_buf() accounting contract and
can also lead to a NULL dereference on the next skb_put_u8().
Allocate the receive skb lazily before consuming the next byte instead.
If allocation fails, return the number of bytes already accepted.

r8152: Add support for the RTL8157 5Gbit USB Ethernet chip
Add support for the RTL8157, which is a 5GBit USB-Ethernet adapter
chip in the RTL815x family of chips.
The RTL8157 uses a different frame descriptor format, and different
SRAM/ADV access methods, plus offers 5GBit/s Ethernet, so support for these
features is added in addition to chip initialization and configuration.
The module was tested with an OEM RTL8157 USB adapter:
[25758.328238] usb 4-1: new SuperSpeed Plus Gen 2x1 USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd

[25763.271682] r8152 4-1:1.0 enx00e04c68xxxx: carrier on
The RTL8157 adapter was tested against an AQC107 PCIe-card supporting
10GBit/s and an RTL8126 5Gbit PCIe-card supporting 5GBit/s for
performance, link speed and EEE negotiation. Using USB3.2 Gen 1 with
the RTL8157 USB adapter and running iperf3 against the AQC107 PCIe
card resulted in 3.47 Gbits/sec, whereas using USB3.2 Gen2 resulted
in 4.70 Gbits/sec, speeds against the RTL8126-card were the same.
As the code integrates the RTL8157-specific code with existing RTL8156 code
in order to improve code maintainability (instead of adding RTL8157-specific
functions duplicaing most of the RTL8156 code), regression tests were done
with an Edimax EU-4307 V1.0 USB-Ethernet adapter with RTL8156.
The code is based on the out-of-tree r8152 driver published by Realtek under
the GPL.
This patch is on top of linux-next as the code re-uses the 2.5 Gbit EEE
recently added in r8152.c.
The RTL8157 uses a different packet descriptor format compared to the
previous generation of chips. Add support for this format by adding a
descriptor format structure into the r8152 structure and corresponding
desc_ops functions which abstract the vlan-tag, tx/rx len and
tx/rx checksum algorithms.
Also, add support for the ADV indirect access interface of the RTL8157
and PHY setup.
For initialization of the RTL8157, combine the existing RTL8156B and
RTL8156 init functions and add RTL8157-specific functinality in order
to improve code readability and maintainability.
r8156_init() is now called with RTL_VER_10 and RTL_VER_11 for the RTL8156,
with RTL_VER_12, RTL_VER_13 and RTL_VER_15 for the RTL8156B and with
RTL_VER_16 for the RTL8157 and checks the version for chip-specific code.
Also add USB power control functions for the RTL8157.
Add support for the USB device ID of Realtek RTL8157-based adapters. Detect
the RTL8157 as RTL_VER_16 and set it up.
The RTL8157 supports 5GBit Link speeds. Add support for this speed
in the setup and setting/getting through ethtool. Also add 5GBit EEE.
Add functionality for setup and ethtool get/set methods.
syzbot reported a WARN on my patch series [1]. The actual issue is an
overflow of 16-bit UDP length field, and it exists in the upstream code.
My series added a debug WARN with an overflow check that exposed the
issue, that's why syzbot tripped on my patches, rather than on upstream
code.
It basically sends an oversized (0x34000 bytes) PPPoL2TP packet with UDP
encapsulation, and l2tp_xmit_core doesn't check for overflows when it
assigns the UDP length field. The value gets trimmed to 16 bites.
Add an overflow check that drops oversized packets and avoids sending
packets with trimmed UDP length to the wire.
net: ipa: fix event ring index not programmed for IPA v5.0+
For IPA v5.0+, the event ring index field moved from CH_C_CNTXT_0 to
CH_C_CNTXT_1. The v5.0 register definition intended to define this
field in the CH_C_CNTXT_1 fmask array but used the old identifier of
ERINDEX instead of CH_ERINDEX.
Without a valid event ring, GSI channels could never signal transfer
completions. This caused gsi_channel_trans_quiesce() to block
forever in wait_for_completion().
At least for IPA v5.2 this resolves an issue seen where runtime
suspend, system suspend, and remoteproc stop all hanged forever. It
also meant the IPA data path was completely non functional.

devlink: add per-port resource support
This series by Or adds devlink per-port resource support:
Currently, devlink resources are only available at the device level.
However, some resources are inherently per-port, such as the maximum
number of subfunctions (SFs) that can be created on a specific PF port.
This limitation prevents user space from obtaining accurate per-port
capacity information.
This series adds infrastructure for per-port resources in devlink core
and implements it in the mlx5 driver to expose the max_SFs resource
on PF devlink ports.
Patch #1 refactors resource functions to be generic
Patch #2 adds port-level resource registration infrastructure
Patch #3 registers SF resource on PF port representor in mlx5
Patch #4 adds devlink port resource registration to netdevsim for testing
Patch #5 adds dump support for device-level resources

Patch #8 adds selftest for devlink port resource doit

The device-level "resource show" displays max_local_SFs and

Register max_SFs resource on the host PF representor port to expose

controller number and pfnum shown in 'devlink port show'.
Future patches will introduce an ECPF that manages multiple PFs,
where each PF has its own SF pool.
