There is no break time in the while() loop, so every time at the end of

set after calling xsk_tx_peek_release_desc_batch(). We can take

Returning false means we're not done with transmission and we need one
more poll, which is exactly what igb_xmit_zc() always did before this

Two cases might happen then:
1. if (nb_pkts < budget), it means we process all the possible data, so
return true and no more necessary poll will be triggered because of
this.
2. if (nb_pkts == budget), it means we might have more data, so return

The fiber ports in KSZ8463 cannot be detected internally, so it requires

net: dsa: microchip: Add KSZ8463 switch support to KSZ DSA driver
KSZ8463 switch is a 3-port switch based from KSZ8863. Its major
difference from other KSZ SPI switches is its register access is not a
simple continual 8-bit transfer with automatic address increase but uses
a byte-enable mechanism specifying 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit access. Its
registers are also defined in 16-bit format because it shares a design
with a MAC controller using 16-bit access. As a result some common
register accesses need to be re-arranged.
This patch adds the basic structure for using KSZ8463. It cannot use the
same regmap table for other KSZ switches as it interprets the 16-bit
value as little-endian and its SPI commands are different.
KSZ8463 uses a byte-enable mechanism to specify 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit
access. The register is first shifted right by 2 then left by 4. Extra
4 bits are added. If the access is 8-bit one of the 4 bits is set. If
the access is 16-bit two of the 4 bits are set. If the access is 32-bit
all 4 bits are set. The SPI command for read or write is then added.
Because of this register transformation separate SPI read and write
functions are provided for KSZ8463.
KSZ8463's internal PHYs use standard PHY register definitions so there is
no need to remap things. However, the hardware has a bug that the high
word and low word of the PHY id are swapped. In addition the port
registers are arranged differently so KSZ8463 has its own mapping for
port registers and PHY registers. Therefore the PORT_CTRL_ADDR macro is
replaced with the get_port_addr helper function.
Currently, UDP exchange is prone to failure when cmd attempt to send data
while socat in bkg is not ready. Since, the behavior is probabilistic, this
can result in flakiness for XDP tests. While testing
test_xdp_native_tx_mb() on netdevsim, a failure rate of around 1% in 500
500 iterations was observed.
Use wait_port_listen() to ensure that the bkg socat is started and ready to
receive before cmd start sending. With proposed changes, a re-run of the
same test passed 100% of time.

ipv6: add `force_forwarding` sysctl to enable per-interface forwarding
It is currently impossible to enable ipv6 forwarding on a per-interface
basis like in ipv4. To enable forwarding on an ipv6 interface we need to
enable it on all interfaces and disable it on the other interfaces using
a netfilter rule. This is especially cumbersome if you have lots of
interfaces and only want to enable forwarding on a few. According to the
sysctl docs [0] the `net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding` enables forwarding
for all interfaces, while the interface-specific
`net.ipv6.conf.<interface>.forwarding` configures the interface
Host/Router configuration.
Introduce a new sysctl flag `force_forwarding`, which can be set on every
interface. The ip6_forwarding function will then check if the global
forwarding flag OR the force_forwarding flag is active and forward the
packet.
To preserve backwards-compatibility reset the flag (on all interfaces)
to 0 if the net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding flag is set to 0.
Add a short selftest that checks if a packet gets forwarded with and
without `force_forwarding`.

net: usbnet: Avoid potential RCU stall on LINK_CHANGE event
The Gemalto Cinterion PLS83-W modem (cdc_ether) is emitting confusing link
up and down events when the WWAN interface is activated on the modem-side.
Interrupt URBs will in consecutive polls grab:
* Link Connected
* Link Disconnected
* Link Connected
Where the last Connected is then a stable link state.
When the system is under load this may cause the unlink_urbs() work in
__handle_link_change() to not complete before the next usbnet_link_change()
call turns the carrier on again, allowing rx_submit() to queue new SKBs.
In that event the URB queue is filled faster than it can drain, ending up
in a RCU stall:
rcu: INFO: rcu_sched detected expedited stalls on CPUs/tasks: { 0-.... } 33108 jiffies s: 201 root: 0x1/.

net/mlx5e: Fix potential deadlock by deferring RX timeout recovery
mlx5e_reporter_rx_timeout() is currently invoked synchronously
in the driver's open error flow. This causes the thread holding
priv->state_lock to attempt acquiring the devlink lock, which
can result in a circular dependency with other devlink operations.
For example:
- Devlink health diagnose flow:
- __devlink_nl_pre_doit() acquires the devlink lock.
- devlink_nl_health_reporter_diagnose_doit() invokes the
driver's diagnose callback.
- mlx5e_rx_reporter_diagnose() then attempts to acquire
priv->state_lock.
- Driver open flow:
- mlx5e_open() acquires priv->state_lock.
- If an error occurs, devlink_health_reporter may be called,
attempting to acquire the devlink lock.
To prevent this circular locking scenario, defer the RX timeout
recovery by scheduling it via a workqueue. This ensures that the
recovery work acquires locks in a consistent order: first the
devlink lock, then priv->state_lock.
Additionally, make the recovery work acquire the netdev instance
lock to safely synchronize with the open/close channel flows,
similar to mlx5e_tx_timeout_work. Repeatedly attempt to acquire
the netdev instance lock until it is taken or the target RQ is no
longer active, as indicated by the MLX5E_STATE_CHANNELS_ACTIVE bit.

net/mlx5e: Remove skb secpath if xfrm state is not found
Hardware returns a unique identifier for a decrypted packet's xfrm
state, this state is looked up in an xarray. However, the state might
have been freed by the time of this lookup.
Currently, if the state is not found, only a counter is incremented.
The secpath (sp) extension on the skb is not removed, resulting in
sp->len becoming 0.
Subsequently, functions like __xfrm_policy_check() attempt to access
fields such as xfrm_input_state(skb)->xso.type (which dereferences
sp->xvec[sp->len - 1]) without first validating sp->len. This leads to
a crash when dereferencing an invalid state pointer.
This patch prevents the crash by explicitly removing the secpath
extension from the skb if the xfrm state is not found after hardware
decryption. This ensures downstream functions do not operate on a
zero-length secpath.
net/mlx5e: Clear Read-Only port buffer size in PBMC before update
When updating the PBMC register, we read its current value,
modify desired fields, then write it back.
The port_buffer_size field within PBMC is Read-Only (RO).
If this RO field contains a non-zero value when read,
attempting to write it back will cause the entire PBMC
register update to fail.
This commit ensures port_buffer_size is explicitly cleared
to zero after reading the PBMC register but before writing
back the modified value.
This allows updates to other fields in the PBMC register to succeed.

The seqcount xt_recseq is used to synchronize the replacement of
xt_table::private in xt_replace_table() against all readers such as
ipt_do_table()
To ensure that there is only one writer, the writing side disables
bottom halves. The sequence counter can be acquired recursively. Only the
first invocation modifies the sequence counter (signaling that a writer
is in progress) while the following (recursive) writer does not modify
the counter.
The lack of a proper locking mechanism for the sequence counter can lead
to live lock on PREEMPT_RT if the high prior reader preempts the
writer. Additionally if the per-CPU lock on PREEMPT_RT is removed from
local_bh_disable() then there is no synchronisation for the per-CPU
sequence counter.
The affected code is "just" the legacy netfilter code which is replaced
by "netfilter tables". That code can be disabled without sacrificing
functionality because everything is provided by the newer
implementation. This will only requires the usage of the "-nft" tools
instead of the "-legacy" ones.
The long term plan is to remove the legacy code so lets accelerate the
progress.
Relax dependencies on iptables legacy, replace select with depends on,
this should cause no harm to existing kernel configs and users can still
toggle IP{6}_NF_IPTABLES_LEGACY in any case.
Make EBTABLES_LEGACY, IPTABLES_LEGACY and ARPTABLES depend on
NETFILTER_XTABLES_LEGACY. Hide xt_recseq and its users,
xt_register_table() and xt_percpu_counter_alloc() behind
NETFILTER_XTABLES_LEGACY. Let NETFILTER_XTABLES_LEGACY depend on
!PREEMPT_RT.
This will break selftest expecing the legacy options enabled and will be
addressed in a following patch.
