x86: Mark AMD Geode support as orphaned
Andres mentioned that he no longer has access to Geode hardware including
the OLPC XO-1, so the MAINTAINERS entry is no longer accurate. I also

was finally discontinued a few years ago.
Aside from the XO-1, there are still a few embeded boards with custom code
in arch/x86/platforms/geode and a number of Geode based thin clients were
shipped that may continue to work without any custom kernel code.
Mark the platform as orphaned, remove the dead link, and update the

drm/bridge: ite-it6263: Move chip initialization code from probe to atomic_enable
On the RZ/G3L SMARC EVK, suspend to RAM powers down the ITE IT6263 chip.
The display controller driver's system PM callbacks invoke

xsk: fix u64 descriptor address truncation on 32-bit architectures
In copy mode TX, xsk_skb_destructor_set_addr() stores the 64-bit
descriptor address into skb_shinfo(skb)->destructor_arg (void *) via a
uintptr_t cast:
On 32-bit architectures uintptr_t is 32 bits, so the upper 32 bits of
the descriptor address are silently dropped. In XDP_ZEROCOPY unaligned
mode the chunk offset is encoded in bits 48-63 of the descriptor
address (XSK_UNALIGNED_BUF_OFFSET_SHIFT = 48), meaning the offset is
lost entirely. The completion queue then returns a truncated address to
userspace, making buffer recycling impossible.
Fix this by handling the 32-bit case directly in
xsk_skb_destructor_set_addr(): when !CONFIG_64BIT, allocate an
xsk_addrs struct (the same path already used for multi-descriptor
SKBs) to store the full u64 address. The existing tagged-pointer logic
in xsk_skb_destructor_is_addr() stays unchanged: slab pointers returned
from kmem_cache_zalloc() are always word-aligned and therefore have
bit 0 clear, which correctly identifies them as a struct pointer
rather than an inline tagged address on every architecture.
Factor the shared kmem_cache_zalloc + destructor_arg assignment into
__xsk_addrs_alloc() and add a wrapper xsk_addrs_alloc() that handles
the inline-to-list upgrade (is_addr check + get_addr + num_descs = 1).
The three former open-coded kmem_cache_zalloc call sites now reduce to
a single call each.
Propagate the -ENOMEM from xsk_skb_destructor_set_addr() through
xsk_skb_init_misc() so the caller can clean up the skb via kfree_skb()
before skb->destructor is installed.
The overhead is one extra kmem_cache_zalloc per first descriptor on
32-bit only; 64-bit builds are completely unchanged.

xsk: fix xsk_addrs slab leak on multi-buffer error path
When xsk_build_skb() / xsk_build_skb_zerocopy() sees the first
continuation descriptor, it promotes destructor_arg from an inlined
address to a freshly allocated xsk_addrs (num_descs = 1). The counter
is bumped to >= 2 only at the very end of a successful build (by calling
xsk_inc_num_desc()).
If the build fails in between (e.g. alloc_page() returns NULL with
-EAGAIN, or the MAX_SKB_FRAGS overflow hits), we jump to free_err, skip
calling xsk_inc_num_desc() to increment num_descs and leave the half-built
skb attached to xs->skb for the app to retry. The skb now has
1) destructor_arg = a real xsk_addrs pointer,
2) num_descs = 1
If the app never retries and just close()s the socket, xsk_release()
calls xsk_drop_skb() -> xsk_consume_skb(), which decides whether to
free xsk_addrs by testing num_descs > 1:
if (unlikely(num_descs > 1))
kmem_cache_free(xsk_tx_generic_cache, destructor_arg);
Because num_descs is exactly 1 the branch is skipped and the
xsk_addrs object is leaked to the xsk_tx_generic_cache slab.
Fix it by directly testing if destructor_arg is still addr. Or else it
is modified and used to store the newly allocated memory from
xsk_tx_generic_cache regardless of increment of num_desc, which we
need to handle.

When xsk_build_skb() processes multi-buffer packets in copy mode, the

attempt or socket close, xs->skb is dereferenced, causing a
use-after-free or double-free.
Fix by using a !xs->skb check to handle first frag situation, ensuring
we only free skbs that were freshly allocated in this call
(xs->skb is NULL) and never free an in-progress multi-buffer skb that
the caller still references.

xsk: reject sw-csum UMEM binding to IFF_TX_SKB_NO_LINEAR devices
skb_checksum_help() is a common helper that writes the folded
16-bit checksum back via skb->data + csum_start + csum_offset,
i.e. it relies on the skb's linear head and fails (with WARN_ONCE
and -EINVAL) when skb_headlen() is 0.
AF_XDP generic xmit takes two very different paths depending on the
netdev. Drivers that advertise IFF_TX_SKB_NO_LINEAR (e.g. virtio_net)
skip the "copy payload into a linear head" step on purpose as a
performance optimisation: xsk_build_skb_zerocopy() only attaches UMEM
pages as frags and never calls skb_put(), so skb_headlen() stays 0
for the whole skb. For these skbs there is simply no linear area for
skb_checksum_help() to write the csum into - the sw-csum fallback is
structurally inapplicable.
The patch tries to catch this and reject the combination with error at
setup time. Rejecting at bind() converts this silent per-packet failure
into a synchronous, actionable -EOPNOTSUPP at setup time. HW csum and
launch_time metadata on IFF_TX_SKB_NO_LINEAR drivers are unaffected
because they do not call skb_checksum_help().
Without the patch, every descriptor carrying 'XDP_TX_METADATA |
XDP_TXMD_FLAGS_CHECKSUM' produces:
1) a WARN_ONCE "offset (N) >= skb_headlen() (0)" from skb_checksum_help(),
2) sendmsg() returning -EINVAL without consuming the descriptor
(invalid_descs is not incremented),
3) a wedged TX ring: __xsk_generic_xmit() does not advance the
consumer on non-EOVERFLOW errors, so the next sendmsg() re-reads
the same descriptor and re-hits the same WARN until the socket
is closed.

The MANA driver can fail to load on systems with high memory
utilization because several allocations in the queue setup paths
require large physically contiguous blocks via kmalloc. Under memory
fragmentation these high-order allocations may fail, preventing the
driver from creating queues when opening the interface or when
reconfiguring channels, ring parameters or MTU at runtime.
This series addresses the issue by:
1. Converting the tx_qp flat array into an array of pointers with
per-queue kvzalloc (~35 KB each), replacing a single contiguous
allocation that can reach ~2.2 MB at 64 queues.
2. Switching rxbufs_pre, das_pre, and rxq allocations to
kvmalloc/kvzalloc so the allocator can fall back to vmalloc
when contiguous memory is unavailable.
Throughput testing confirms no regression. Since kvmalloc falls
back to vmalloc under memory fragmentation, all kvmalloc calls
were temporarily replaced with vmalloc to simulate the fallback
path (iperf3, GBits/sec):

net: mana: Use kvmalloc for large RX queue and buffer allocations
The RX path allocations for rxbufs_pre, das_pre, and rxq scale with
queue count and queue depth. With high queue counts and depth, these can
exceed what kmalloc can reliably provide from physically contiguous
memory under fragmentation.
Switch these from kmalloc to kvmalloc variants so the allocator
transparently falls back to vmalloc when contiguous memory is scarce,
and update the corresponding frees to kvfree.

net: mana: Use per-queue allocation for tx_qp to reduce allocation size
Convert tx_qp from a single contiguous array allocation to per-queue
individual allocations. Each mana_tx_qp struct is approximately 35KB.
With many queues (e.g., 32/64), the flat array requires a single
contiguous allocation that can fail under memory fragmentation.
Change mana_tx_qp *tx_qp to mana_tx_qp **tx_qp (array of pointers),
allocating each queue's mana_tx_qp individually via kvzalloc. This
reduces each allocation to ~35KB and provides vmalloc fallback,
avoiding allocation failure due to fragmentation.
====================
selftests: rds: Log collection, TAP compliance and cleanups
This series is a set of bug fixes and improvements for the rds
selftests.
Patch 1 bumps the kselftest timeout from 400s to 800s. The original
limit was developed against a lean config, but the kselftest harness
counts boot time and gcov log collection against the limit, so a
default config with gcov enabled needs more headroom.
Patch 2 corrects some typos in the run.sh USAGE string and removes an
unused "-g" flag.
Patch 3 silences a handful of pylint warnings in test.py: it adds a
module docstring, suppresses the warnings tied to the sys.path.append
import trick, marks the long lived tcpdump Popen with disable-next
consider-using-with, and drops unused exception variables from two
BlockingIOError except clauses.
Patch 4 adds a -t flag to run.sh so the timeout can be overridden
if needed.
Patch 5 adds a RDS_LOG_DIR environment variable that specifies where
logs should be stored, or skips log collection if left unset
Patch 6 adds a SUDO_USER environment variable that sets the user
for tcpdump --relinquish-privileges. This avoid the permissions
drop that would leave pcaps empty on 9pfs since 9p does not
support chown
Patch 7 removes the initial tmp tcpdumps and instead saves the pcaps
directly to the logdir if it is set.
Patch 8 hoists the tcpdump shutdown into a helper and calls it from the
timeout signal handler so that the processes are properly terminated
and dumps are flushed
Patch 9 fixes gcov collection by ensuring debugfs is mounted, and
specifying the --root folder so that gcov can still find the kernel
source when it is run from the ksft test directory.
Patch 10 makes the test output TAP compliant so the kselftest runner
parses results correctly.
====================
This patch updates the rds selftests output to be TAP compliant.
Use ksft_pr() to mark debug output with a leading '# ' so that TAP
parsers treat it as commentary, and convert all informational print()
calls to use ksft_pr(). sys.exit(0) is changed to os._exit(0) to
avoid duplicate prints from the buffered TAP output. The console
output from the tcpdump subprocess is silenced, and the gcov console
output is redirected to a gcovr.log.
Finally adjust the exit path so that the hash check loop sets a
return code instead exiting directly. Then print the TAP results
and totals lines before exiting.
debugfs is not mounted automatically in a virtme-ng guest, so the
gcov data copy from /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/ silently finds nothing
depending on whether debugfs is mounted by default on the host OS.
Fix this by mounting debugfs in run.sh before copying the gcda
files.
Finally when invoked through the kselftest runner, the working
directory is the test directory rather than the kernel source root.
gcovr defaults --root to the current working directory, which causes
it to filter out all coverage data for files under net/rds/ since
they are not under the test directory. Fix this by passing --root
to gcovr explicitly.
The timeout signal handler for the rds selftests currently just
exits when the time limit is exceeded, and forgets to stop the
network dumps. Fix this by hoisting the tcpdump terminate commands
into a helper function, and call it from the signal handler before
exiting
Bound proc.wait() with a timeout (and fall back to proc.kill())
so an unresponsive tcpdump cannot hang the timeout path itself.
We also pop() tcpdump_procs as we iterate, so stop_pcaps() is safe
to call from both the normal cleanup path and the signal handler,
since the second invocation simply has nothing to do
This patch modifies rds selftests to use the environment variable
SUDO_USER for tcpdumps if it is set. This is needed to avoid chown
operations on the vng 9pfs which is not supported. Passing a user
listed in sudoers avoids the tcpdump privilege drop which may
otherwise create empty pcaps
This patch modifies the rds selftest to look for an env variable
RDS_LOG_DIR, and log all traces, pcaps and gcov collections to
the folder specified in RDS_LOG_DIR. If RDS_LOG_DIR is unset,
logs are not collected.
Add a -t flag to run.sh to optionally override the default
timeout. The --timeout flag is already supported in test.py,
so just add the shorthand -t flag
This patch fixes a few pylint errors in test.py. Remove unused exception
variables from except blocks, and disable warnings for imports that cannot
appear at the start of the module. Also disable warnings for the
tcpdump processes. The suggestion to use a with block does not apply
here since the process needs to outlive the parent to collect the dumps.
Lastly add the module docstring at the top of the module.
The 400s time out was originally developed under a leaner
kernel config that booted much faster than a default config.
Boot up is included as part of the over all test runtime, as
well as any log collection done when the test is complete.
A slower config combined with the gcov enabled test means
we'll need more time to accommodate the boot up and log
collection. So, bump time out to 800s.

When utilizing Socket-Direct single netdev functionality the driver
resolves the actual auxiliary device using mlx5_sd_get_adev(). However,
the current implementation returns the primary ETH auxiliary device
without holding the device lock, leading to a potential race condition
where the ETH device could be unbound or removed concurrently during
probe, suspend, resume, or remove operations.[1]
Fix this by introducing mlx5_sd_put_adev() and updating
mlx5_sd_get_adev() so that secondaries devices would get a ref and
acquire the device lock of the returned auxiliary device. After the lock
is acquired, a second devcom check is needed[2].
In addition, update The callers to pair the get operation with the new
put operation, ensuring the lock is held while the auxiliary device is
being operated on and released afterwards.
The "primary" designation is determined once in sd_register(). It's set
before devcom is marked ready, and it never changes after that.
In Addition, The primary path never locks a secondary: When the primary
device invoke mlx5_sd_get_adev(), it sees dev == primary and returns.
no additional lock is taken.
Therefore lock ordering is always: secondary_lock -> primary_lock. The
reverse never happens, so ABBA deadlock is impossible.

net/mlx5e: SD, Fix missing cleanup on probe error
When _mlx5e_probe() fails, the preceding successful mlx5_sd_init() is
not undone. Auxiliary bus probe failure skips binding, so mlx5e_remove()
is never called for that adev and the matching mlx5_sd_cleanup() never
runs - leaking the per-dev SD struct.
Call mlx5_sd_cleanup() on the probe error path to balance
mlx5_sd_init().
A similar gap exists on the resume path: mlx5_sd_init() and
mlx5_sd_cleanup() are currently bundled with both probe/remove and
suspend/resume, even though only the FW alias state actually needs to
follow the suspend/resume lifecycle - the sd struct allocation and
devcom membership are software state that should track the full bound
lifetime. As a result, a failed resume can leave a still-bound device
with sd == NULL, which mlx5_sd_get_adev() can't distinguish from a
non-SD device. Fixing this requires sd_suspend/resume APIs which will
only destroy FW resources and is left for a follow-up series.

net/mlx5: SD, Keep multi-pf debugfs entries on primary
mlx5_sd_init() creates the "multi-pf" debugfs directory under the

this leads to using the wrong sd->dfs for removing entries, which

net/mlx5: SD: Serialize init/cleanup
mlx5_sd_init() / mlx5_sd_cleanup() may run from multiple PFs in the same
Socket-Direct group. This can cause the SD bring-up/tear-down sequence
to be executed more than once or interleaved across PFs.
Protect SD init/cleanup with mlx5_devcom_comp_lock() and track the SD
group state on the primary device. Skip init if the primary is already
UP, and skip cleanup unless the primary is UP.
The state check on cleanup is needed because sd_register() drops the
devcom comp lock between marking the comp ready and assigning
primary_dev on each peer. A concurrent cleanup that acquires the lock
in this window would observe devcom_is_ready==true while primary_dev
is still NULL (causing mlx5_sd_get_primary() to return NULL) or while
the FW alias setup performed by mlx5_sd_init()'s body has not yet run
(causing sd_cmd_unset_primary() to dereference a NULL tx_ft). Gate the
cleanup body on primary_sd->state == MLX5_SD_STATE_UP, which is set
only at the very end of mlx5_sd_init() under the same comp lock - so
observing UP guarantees primary_dev, secondaries[], tx_ft, and dfs are
all populated. Also bail explicitly if mlx5_sd_get_primary() returns
NULL, in case state is checked on a peer whose primary_dev hasn't been
assigned yet.
In addition, move mlx5_devcom_comp_set_ready(false) from sd_unregister()
into the cleanup's locked section, including the !primary and
state != UP early-exit paths, so the device cannot unregister and free
its struct mlx5_sd while devcom is still marked ready. A concurrent
init acquiring the devcom lock will now observe devcom is no longer
ready and bail out immediately.

priv->psp->psp is initialized with the PSP device as returned by

Avoid that by using a local variable and only saving the PSP device when

powerpc/perf: Update check for PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC marked events
The core-book3s PMU sampling code validates the SIER TYPE field
when PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC is requested. The SIER TYPE field
indicates the instruction type and is only valid for
random sampling (marked events). To handle cases observed where
SIER TYPE could be zero even for marked events,validation was
added to drop such samples and increment event->lost_samples.
However, this validation was applied to all samples,
including continuous sampling. In continuous sampling mode,
the PMU does not set the SIER TYPE field, so it remains zero.
As a result, valid continuous samples were incorrectly
treated as invalid and dropped. Fixed this by gating the
SIER TYPE validation with mark_event, so the check runs only
for marked (random) events. Continuous samples now skip this
check and are recorded normally in the final data recording path.

powerpc/vmx: avoid KASAN instrumentation in enter_vmx_ops() for kexec
The kexec sequence invokes enter_vmx_ops() via copy_page() with the MMU
disabled. In this context, code must not rely on normal virtual address
translations or trigger page faults.
With KASAN enabled, functions get instrumented and may access shadow
memory using regular address translation. When executed with the MMU
off, this can lead to page faults (bad_page_fault) from which the
kernel cannot recover in the kexec path, resulting in a hang.
The kexec path sets preempt_count to HARDIRQ_OFFSET before entering
the MMU-off copy sequence.
Since kexec sets preempt_count to HARDIRQ_OFFSET, in_interrupt()
evaluates to true and enter_vmx_ops() returns early.
As in_interrupt() (and preempt_count()) are always inlined, mark
enter_vmx_ops() with __no_sanitize_address to avoid KASAN
instrumentation and shadow memory access with MMU disabled, helping
kexec boot fine with KASAN enabled.
powerpc/kdump: fix KASAN sanitization flag for core_$(BITS).o
KASAN instrumentation is intended to be disabled for the kexec core
code, but the existing Makefile entry misses the object suffix. As a
result, the flag is not applied correctly to core_$(BITS).o.
So when KASAN is enabled, kexec_copy_flush and copy_segments in
kexec/core_64.c are instrumented, which can result in accesses to
shadow memory via normal address translation paths. Since these run
with the MMU disabled, such accesses may trigger page faults
(bad_page_fault) that cannot be handled in the kdump path, ultimately
causing a hang and preventing the kdump kernel from booting. The same
is true for kexec as well, since the same functions are used there.
Update the entry to include the “.o” suffix so that KASAN
instrumentation is properly disabled for this object file.

Simplify hvpipe_rtas_recv_msg() by removing three levels of nesting...
if (!ret)
if (buf)
if (size < bytes_written)
... this refactoring of the function bails out to "out:" label first, in case
of any error. This simplifies the init flow.
pseries/papr-hvpipe: Kill task_struct pointer from struct hvpipe_source_info

kill it for now, and we can bring back later if we need this for any
future debug purposes.
pseries/papr-hvpipe: Simplify spin unlock usage in papr_hvpipe_handle_release()
Once the src_info is removed from the global list, no one can access it.
This simplies the usage of spin_unlock_irqrestore() in
papr_hvpipe_handle_release()
pseries/papr-hvpipe: Fix the usage of copy_to_user()
copy_to_user() return bytes_not_copied to the user buffer. If there was
an error writing bytes into the user buffer, i.e. if copy_to_user
returns a non-zero value, then we should simply return -EFAULT from the
->read() call.
Otherwise, in the non-patched version, we may end up mixing
"bytes_not_copied + bytes_copied (HVPIPE_HDR_LEN)" as the return value
to the user in ->read() call
Also let's make sure we clear the hvpipe_status flag, if we have
consumed the hvpipe msg by making the rtas call. ret = -EFAULT means
copy_to_user has failed but that still means that the msg was read from
the hvpipe, hence for both cases, success & -EFAULT, we should clear the
HVPIPE_MSG_AVAILABLE flag in hvpipe_status.
pseries/papr-hvpipe: Fix & simplify error handling in papr_hvpipe_init()
Remove such 3 levels of nesting patterns to check success return values
from function calls.
ret = enable_hvpipe_IRQ()
if (!ret)
ret = set_hvpipe_sys_param(1)
if (!ret)
ret = misc_register()
Instead just bail out to "out*:" labels, in case of any error. This
simplifies the init flow.
While at it let's also fix the following error handling logic:
We have already enabled interrupt sources and enabled hvpipe to received
interrupts, if misc_register() fails, we will destroy the workqueue, but
the HMC might send us a msg via hvpipe which will call, queue work on
the workqueue which might be destroyed.
So instead, let's reverse the order of enabling set_hvpipe_sys_param(1)
and in case of an error let's remove the misc dev by calling
misc_deregister().
pseries/papr-hvpipe: Fix null ptr deref in papr_hvpipe_dev_create_handle()
commit 6d3789d347a7 ("papr-hvpipe: convert papr_hvpipe_dev_create_handle() to FD_PREPARE()"),
changed the create handle to FD_PREPARE(), but it caused kernel
null-ptr-deref because after call to retain_and_null_ptr(src_info),
src_info is re-used for adding it to the global list.
Getting the following kernel panic in papr_hvpipe_dev_create_handle()
when trying to add src_info to the list.

BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference on write at 0x00000000

system_call_vectored_common+0x15c/0x2ec
Now, the error handling with FD_PREPARE's file cleanup and __free(kfree) auto
cleanup is getting too convoluted. This is mainly because we need to
ensure only 1 user get the srcID handle. To simplify this, we allocate
prepare the src_info in the beginning and add it to the global list
under a spinlock after checking that no duplicates exist.
This simplify the error handling where if the FD_ADD fails, we can
simply remove the src_info from the list and consume any pending msg in
hvpipe to be cleared, after src_info became visible in the global list.
pseries/papr-hvpipe: Prevent kernel stack memory leak to userspace
The hdr variable is allocated on the stack and only hdr.version and
hdr.flags are initialized explicitly. Because the struct papr_hvpipe_hdr
contains reserved padding bytes (reserved[3] and reserved2[40]), these
could leak the uninitialized bytes to userspace after copy_to_user().
This patch fixes that by initializing the whole struct to 0.

udp_tunnel: Speed up UDP tunnel device destruction (Part I)
Most of the UDP tunnel devices call synchronize_rcu() twice
during destruction, for example, vxlan has
1) synchronize_rcu() in udp_tunnel_sock_release()
2) synchronize_net() in vxlan_sock_release()
The goal of this series is to remove the former, and another
followup series removes the latter.
synchronize_rcu() was added in udp_tunnel_sock_release() by
commit 3cf7203ca620 ("net/tunnel: wait until all sk_user_data
reader finish before releasing the sock").
This was intended to protect the fast path of a dying vxlan
from dereferencing vxlan_sock->sock->sk after sock_orphan()
has set sock->sk to NULL.
Most of the UDP tunnel devices store struct socket to its
private struct, but it is NOT needed in the fast paths;
struct sock is used there, but struct socket is only used
for tunnel setup / teardown.
This is probably because UDP tunnel functions accept struct
socket, but even such functions do not need it, except for
udp_tunnel_sock_release(), which can safely access sk->sk_socket.
The overview of the series:
Patch 1 - 5 : Convert UDP tunnel helper to take struct sock
Patch 6 : Small fix for 10-years-old bug
Patch 7 - 14 : Store struct sock in tunnel devices
Patch 15 : Remove synchronize_rcu() in udp_tunnel_sock_release()
With this change, a script creating/upping vxlan in 4000 netns
runs 10x faster.

This was intended to protect the fast path of a dying vxlan device
from dereferencing vxlan_sock->sock->sk after sock_orphan() has set
sock->sk to NULL.
However, vxlan does not need to access struct socket itself
in the fast path; it only reads struct sock, and struct socket
is only used for tunnel setup and teardown.
This applies to all other UDP tunnel users, and they have been
converted to access struct sock directly.
In addition, each device-specific struct used in their fast paths
is freed after one RCU grace period. Since this occurs after
udp_tunnel_sock_release(), the struct is guaranteed to be freed
after struct udp_sock.
Therefore, synchronize_rcu() in udp_tunnel_sock_release() is
now redundant.
Let's remove it.
Tested:
A script creating/upping vxlan devices in 4000 netns runs 10x
faster with this change. We can see the same improvement with
other UDP tunnel devices as well.
$ cat vxlan.sh
for i in `seq 1 40`
do
(for j in `seq 1 100` ; do
unshare -n bash -c "ip link add vxlan0 type vxlan id 100 local 127.0.0.1 dstport 4789 && ip link set vxlan0 up";
done) &
done
wait
With bpftrace, we can see vxlan_stop() is significantly faster.
tipc udp_bearer does not need to access struct socket itself in
the fast path; it only reads struct sock, and struct socket is
only used for tunnel setup and teardown.
Let's store struct sock directly in struct udp_bearer.
Note that cleanup_bearer() calls synchronize_net() after
udp_tunnel_sock_release(), so udp_bearer is not freed until
inflight fast paths finish.
Note also that synchronize_rcu() is added in the error path
of tipc_udp_enable() since udp_bearer will be kfree()d
immediately once we remove synchronize_rcu() in
udp_tunnel_sock_release().
pfcp does not need to access struct socket itself in the fast
path; it only reads struct sock, and struct socket is only used
for tunnel setup and teardown.
Let's store struct sock directly in struct pfcp_dev.
pfcp_del_sock() is called from dev->netdev_ops->ndo_uninit().
The 2nd synchronize_net() in unregister_netdevice_many_notify()
ensures that inflight pfcp RX fast paths finish before pfcp_dev
is freed.
Note that synchronize_rcu() is added in the error path of
pfcp_newlink() since free_netdev() will free pfcp_dev immediately
once we remove synchronize_rcu() in udp_tunnel_sock_release().
amt does not need to access struct socket itself in the fast path;
it only reads struct sock, and struct socket is only used for tunnel
setup and teardown.
Let's store struct sock directly in struct amt.
amt_dev_stop() is called as dev->netdev_ops->ndo_stop().
synchronize_net() in unregister_netdevice_many_notify() ensures
that inflight amt RX fast paths finish before amt_dev is freed.
amt no longer needs synchronize_rcu() in udp_tunnel_sock_release().
Note that amt_dev_stop() looks buggy; cancel_delayed_work_sync()
should be called after udp_tunnel_sock_release().
fou does not need to access struct socket itself in the fast
path; it only reads struct sock, and struct socket is only used
for tunnel setup and teardown.
Let's store struct sock directly in struct fou.
fou_release() frees struct fou with kfree_rcu(), so fou no
longer needs synchronize_rcu() in udp_tunnel_sock_release().
Note that the error path in fou_create() looks buggy; once the
tunnel is set up and fou_add_to_port_list() fails, struct fou
should be freed with kfree_rcu() _after_ udp_tunnel_sock_release().
bareudp does not need to access struct socket itself in the fast
path; it only reads struct sock, and struct socket is only used
for tunnel setup and teardown.
Let's store struct sock directly in struct bareudp_dev.
bareudp_sock_release() is called from dev->netdev_ops->ndo_stop().
synchronize_net() in unregister_netdevice_many_notify() ensures that
inflight bareudp RX fast paths finish before bareudp_dev is freed.
bareudp no longer needs synchronize_rcu() in udp_tunnel_sock_release().
geneve does not need to access struct socket itself in the fast
path; it only reads struct sock, and struct socket is only used for
tunnel setup and teardown.
Let's store struct sock directly in struct geneve_sock.
__geneve_sock_release() frees geneve_sock with kfree_rcu(), so
geneve no longer needs synchronize_rcu() in udp_tunnel_sock_release().
Commit 3cf7203ca620 ("net/tunnel: wait until all sk_user_data
reader finish before releasing the sock") added synchronize_rcu()
in udp_tunnel_sock_release().
This was intended to protect the fast path of a dying vxlan device
from dereferencing vxlan_sock->sock->sk after sock_orphan() has set
sock->sk to NULL.
However, vxlan does not need to access struct socket itself in the
fast path; it only reads struct sock, and struct socket is only
used for tunnel setup and teardown.
Let's store struct sock directly in struct vxlan_sock.
In the next patch, we will free vxlan_sock with kfree_rcu(), then
vxlan no longer needs synchronize_rcu() in udp_tunnel_sock_release().
udp_tunnel: Pass struct sock to udp_tunnel_sock_release().
None of the udp_tunnel users need struct socket in their
fast paths; it is only used for tunnel setup / teardown.
While the UDP tunnel interface accepts struct socket, this
encourages users to store the pointer unnecessarily. This
leads to extra dereferences when accessing struct sock fields
(e.g., sk->sk_user_data instead of sock->sk->sk_user_data).
Furthermore, these dereferences necessitate synchronize_rcu()
in udp_tunnel_sock_release() to protect the fast paths from
sock_orphan() setting sk->sk_socket to NULL.
This overhead can be avoided if users store the struct sock
pointer directly in their private structures.
As a prep, let's change udp_tunnel_sock_release() to take
struct sock instead of struct socket.

bnxt_en: Use absolute target ns from ptp_clock_request
There is no need to calculate the target PHC cycles required
to make phase adjustment on the PPS OUT signal. This is because
the application supplies absolute n_sec value in the future and
is already the actual desired target value.
Remove the unnecessary code.

bnxt_en: Check return value of bnxt_hwrm_vnic_cfg
When the bnxt RDMA driver is loaded, it calls bnxt_register_dev().
As part of this, driver sends HWRM_VNIC_CFG firmware command

the driver ignores the result of this firmware command. The RDMA
