Commit 8a59f9d1e3d4 ("sock: Introduce sk-&gt;sk_prot-&gt;psock_update_sk_prot()")
has moved the inet_csk_has_ulp(sk) check from sk_psock_init() to
the new tcp_bpf_update_proto() function. I'm guessing that this
was done to allow creating psocks for non-inet sockets.

Unfortunately the destruction path for psock includes the ULP
unwind, so we need to fail the sk_psock_init() itself.
Otherwise if ULP is already present we'll notice that later,
and call tcp_update_ulp() with the sk_proto of the ULP
itself, which will most likely result in the ULP looping
its callbacks.

dev_isalive() is called under RTNL or dev_base_lock protection.

This means that changes to dev-&gt;reg_state should be done with both locks held.

<content type='text'>
A customer reported a request_socket leak in a Calico cloud environment. We
found that a BPF program was doing a socket lookup with takes a refcnt on
the socket and that it was finding the request_socket but returning the parent
LISTEN socket via sk_to_full_sk() without decrementing the child request socket
1st, resulting in request_sock slab object leak. This patch retains the
existing behaviour of returning full socks to the caller but it also decrements
the child request_socket if one is present before doing so to prevent the leak.

Thanks to Curtis Taylor for all the help in diagnosing and testing this. And
thanks to Antoine Tenart for the reproducer and patch input.

v2 of this patch contains, refactor as per Daniel Borkmann's suggestions to
validate RCU flags on the listen socket so that it balances with bpf_sk_release()
and update comments as per Martin KaFai Lau's suggestion. One small change to
Daniels suggestion, put "sk = sk2" under "if (sk2 != sk)" to avoid an extra
instruction.

Fixes: f7355a6c0497 ("bpf: Check sk_fullsock() before returning from bpf_sk_lookup()")
Fixes: edbf8c01de5a ("bpf: add skc_lookup_tcp helper")

If user requests for NFT_CHAIN_HW_OFFLOAD, then check if either device
provides the .ndo_setup_tc interface or there is an indirect flow block
that has been registered. Otherwise, bail out early from the preparation
phase. Moreover, validate that family == NFPROTO_NETDEV and hook is
NF_NETDEV_INGRESS.

Yuwei reported that plain reuse of DELAY_PROBE_TIME to rearm work queue
in neigh_managed_work is problematic if user explicitly configures the
DELAY_PROBE_TIME to 0 for a neighbor table. Such misconfig can then hog
CPU to 100% processing the system work queue. Instead, set lower interval
bound to HZ which is totally sufficient. Yuwei is additionally looking
into making the interval separately configurable from DELAY_PROBE_TIME.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core
  ----

   - Support TCPv6 segmentation offload with super-segments larger than
     64k bytes using the IPv6 Jumbogram extension header (AKA BIG TCP).

   - Generalize skb freeing deferral to per-cpu lists, instead of
     per-socket lists.

   - Add a netdev statistic for packets dropped due to L2 address
     mismatch (rx_otherhost_dropped).

   - Continue work annotating skb drop reasons.

   - Accept alternative netdev names (ALT_IFNAME) in more netlink
     requests.

   - Add VLAN support for AF_PACKET SOCK_RAW GSO.

   - Allow receiving skb mark from the socket as a cmsg.

   - Enable memcg accounting for veth queues, sysctl tables and IPv6.

  BPF
  ---

   - Add libbpf support for User Statically-Defined Tracing (USDTs).

   - Speed up symbol resolution for kprobes multi-link attachments.

   - Support storing typed pointers to referenced and unreferenced
     objects in BPF maps.

   - Add support for BPF link iterator.

   - Introduce access to remote CPU map elements in BPF per-cpu map.

   - Allow middle-of-the-road settings for the
     kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled sysctl.

   - Implement basic types of dynamic pointers e.g. to allow for
     dynamically sized ringbuf reservations without extra memory copies.

  Protocols
  ---------

   - Retire port only listening_hash table, add a second bind table
     hashed by port and address. Avoid linear list walk when binding to
     very popular ports (e.g. 443).

   - Add bridge FDB bulk flush filtering support allowing user space to
     remove all FDB entries matching a condition.

   - Introduce accept_unsolicited_na sysctl for IPv6 to implement
     router-side changes for RFC9131.

   - Support for MPTCP path manager in user space.

   - Add MPTCP support for fallback to regular TCP for connections that
     have never connected additional subflows or transmitted
     out-of-sequence data (partial support for RFC8684 fallback).

   - Avoid races in MPTCP-level window tracking, stabilize and improve
     throughput.

   - Support lockless operation of GRE tunnels with seq numbers enabled.

   - WiFi support for host based BSS color collision detection.

   - Add support for SO_TXTIME/SCM_TXTIME on CAN sockets.

   - Support transmission w/o flow control in CAN ISOTP (ISO 15765-2).

   - Support zero-copy Tx with TLS 1.2 crypto offload (sendfile).

   - Allow matching on the number of VLAN tags via tc-flower.

   - Add tracepoint for tcp_set_ca_state().

  Driver API
  ----------

   - Improve error reporting from classifier and action offload.

   - Add support for listing line cards in switches (devlink).

   - Add helpers for reporting page pool statistics with ethtool -S.

   - Add support for reading clock cycles when using PTP virtual clocks,
     instead of having the driver convert to time before reporting. This
     makes it possible to report time from different vclocks.

   - Support configuring low-latency Tx descriptor push via ethtool.

   - Separate Clause 22 and Clause 45 MDIO accesses more explicitly.

  931 lines of code and 466 lines of comments, not that basic metrics
  like that mean all that much, but at the very least it tells you that
  this is very much a manageable driver now.

  Here's a summary of the various updates:

   - The random_get_entropy() function now always returns something at
     least minimally useful. This is the primary entropy source in most
     collectors, which in the best case expands to something like RDTSC,
     but prior to this change, in the worst case it would just return 0,
     contributing nothing. For 5.19, additional architectures are wired
     up, and architectures that are entirely missing a cycle counter now
     have a generic fallback path, which uses the highest resolution
     clock available from the timekeeping subsystem.

     Some of those clocks can actually be quite good, despite the CPU
     not having a cycle counter of its own, and going off-core for a
     stamp is generally thought to increase jitter, something positive
     from the perspective of entropy gathering. Done very early on in
     the development cycle, this has been sitting in next getting some
     testing for a while now and has relevant acks from the archs, so it
     should be pretty well tested and fine, but is nonetheless the thing
     I'll be keeping my eye on most closely.

   - Of particular note with the random_get_entropy() improvements is
     MIPS, which, on CPUs that lack the c0 count register, will now
     combine the high-speed but short-cycle c0 random register with the
     lower-speed but long-cycle generic fallback path.

   - With random_get_entropy() now always returning something useful,
     the interrupt handler now collects entropy in a consistent
     construction.

   - Rather than comparing two samples of random_get_entropy() for the
     jitter dance, the algorithm now tests many samples, and uses the
     amount of differing ones to determine whether or not jitter entropy
     is usable and how laborious it must be. The problem with comparing
     only two samples was that if the cycle counter was extremely slow,
     but just so happened to be on the cusp of a change, the slowness
     wouldn't be detected. Taking many samples fixes that to some
     degree.

     This, combined with the other improvements to random_get_entropy(),
     should make future unification of /dev/random and /dev/urandom
     maybe more possible. At the very least, were we to attempt it again
     today (we're not), it wouldn't break any of Guenter's test rigs
     that broke when we tried it with 5.18. So, not today, but perhaps
     down the road, that's something we can revisit.

   - We attempt to reseed the RNG immediately upon waking up from system
     suspend or hibernation, making use of the various timestamps about
     suspend time and such available, as well as the usual inputs such
     as RDRAND when available.

   - Batched randomness now falls back to ordinary randomness before the
     RNG is initialized. This provides more consistent guarantees to the
     types of random numbers being returned by the various accessors.

   - The "pre-init injection" code is now gone for good. I suspect you
     in particular will be happy to read that, as I recall you
     expressing your distaste for it a few months ago. Instead, to avoid
     a "premature first" issue, while still allowing for maximal amount
     of entropy availability during system boot, the first 128 bits of
     estimated entropy are used immediately as it arrives, with the next
     128 bits being buffered. And, as before, after the RNG has been
     fully initialized, it winds up reseeding anyway a few seconds later
     in most cases. This resulted in a pretty big simplification of the
     initialization code and let us remove various ad-hoc mechanisms
     like the ugly crng_pre_init_inject().

   - The RNG no longer pretends to handle the "premature next" security
     model, something that various academics and other RNG designs have
     tried to care about in the past. After an interesting mailing list
     thread, these issues are thought to be a) mainly academic and not
     practical at all, and b) actively harming the real security of the
     RNG by delaying new entropy additions after a potential compromise,
     making a potentially bad situation even worse. As well, in the
     first place, our RNG never even properly handled the premature next
     issue, so removing an incomplete solution to a fake problem was
     particularly nice.

     This allowed for numerous other simplifications in the code, which
     is a lot cleaner as a consequence. If you didn't see it before,
     https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YmlMGx6+uigkGiZ0@zx2c4.com/ may be a
     thread worth skimming through.

   - While the interrupt handler received a separate code path years ago
     that avoids locks by using per-cpu data structures and a faster
     mixing algorithm, in order to reduce interrupt latency, input and
     disk events that are triggered in hardirq handlers were still
     hitting locks and more expensive algorithms. Those are now
     redirected to use the faster per-cpu data structures.

   - Rather than having the fake-crypto almost-siphash-based random32
     implementation be used right and left, and in many places where
     cryptographically secure randomness is desirable, the batched
     entropy code is now fast enough to replace that.

   - As usual, numerous code quality and documentation cleanups. For
     example, the initialization state machine now uses enum symbolic
     constants instead of just hard coding numbers everywhere.

   - Since the RNG initializes once, and then is always initialized
     thereafter, a pretty heavy amount of code used during that
     initialization is never used again. It is now completely cordoned
     off using static branches and it winds up in the .text.unlikely
     section so that it doesn't reduce cache compactness after the RNG
     is ready.

   - A variety of functions meant for waiting on the RNG to be
     initialized were only used by vsprintf, and in not a particularly
     optimal way. Replacing that usage with a more ordinary setup made
     it possible to remove those functions.

   - A cleanup of how we warn userspace about the use of uninitialized
     /dev/urandom and uninitialized get_random_bytes() usage.
     Interestingly, with the change you merged for 5.18 that attempts to
     use jitter (but does not block if it can't), the majority of users
     should never see those warnings for /dev/urandom at all now, and
     the one for in-kernel usage is mainly a debug thing.

   - The file_operations struct for /dev/[u]random now implements
     .read_iter and .write_iter instead of .read and .write, allowing it
     to also implement .splice_read and .splice_write, which makes
     splice(2) work again after it was broken here (and in many other
     places in the tree) during the set_fs() removal. This was a bit of
     a last minute arrival from Jens that hasn't had as much time to
     bake, so I'll be keeping my eye on this as well, but it seems
     fairly ordinary. Unfortunately, read_iter() is around 3% slower
     than read() in my tests, which I'm not thrilled about. But Jens and
     Al, spurred by this observation, seem to be making progress in
     removing the bottlenecks on the iter paths in the VFS layer in
     general, which should remove the performance gap for all drivers.

   - Assorted other bug fixes, cleanups, and optimizations.

   - A small SipHash cleanup"

<title>net: wrap the wireless pointers in struct net_device in an ifdef</title>

Most protocol-specific pointers in struct net_device are under
a respective ifdef. Wireless is the notable exception. Since
there's a sizable number of custom-built kernels for datacenter
workloads which don't build wireless it seems reasonable to
ifdefy those pointers as well.

While at it move IPv4 and IPv6 pointers up, those are special
for obvious reasons.
