neigh_add() updates pneigh_entry() found or created by pneigh_create().
This update is serialised by RTNL, but we will remove it.
Let's move the update part to pneigh_create() and make it return errno
instead of a pointer of pneigh_entry.
Now, the pneigh code is RTNL free.

tbl->phash_buckets[] is only modified in the slow path by pneigh_create()
and pneigh_delete() under the table lock.
Both of them are called under RTNL, so no extra lock is needed, but we
will remove RTNL from the paths.
pneigh_create() looks up a pneigh_entry, and this part can be lockless,
but it would complicate the logic like
1. lookup
2. allocate pengih_entry for GFP_KERNEL
3. lookup again but under lock
4. if found, return it after freeing the allocated memory
5. else, return the new one
Instead, let's add a per-table mutex and run lookup and allocation
under it.
Note that updating pneigh_entry part in neigh_add() is still protected
by RTNL and will be moved to pneigh_create() in the next patch.

__pneigh_lookup() is the lockless version of pneigh_lookup(),
but its only caller pndisc_is_router() holds the table lock and
reads pneigh_netry.flags.
This is because accessing pneigh_entry after pneigh_lookup() was
illegal unless the caller holds RTNL or the table lock.
Now, pneigh_entry is guaranteed to be alive during the RCU critical
section.
Let's call pneigh_lookup() and use READ_ONCE() for n->flags in
pndisc_is_router() and remove __pneigh_lookup().

We will convert RTM_GETNEIGH to RCU.
neigh_get() looks up pneigh_entry by pneigh_lookup() and passes
it to pneigh_fill_info().
Then, we must ensure that the entry is alive till pneigh_fill_info()
completes, but read_lock_bh(&tbl->lock) in pneigh_lookup() does not
guarantee that.
Also, we will convert all readers of tbl->phash_buckets[] to RCU.
Let's use call_rcu() to free pneigh_entry and update phash_buckets[]
and ->next by rcu_assign_pointer().
pneigh_ifdown_and_unlock() uses list_head to avoid overwriting
->next and moving RCU iterators to another list.
pndisc_destructor() (only IPv6 ndisc uses this) uses a mutex, so it
is not delayed to call_rcu(), where we cannot sleep. This is fine
because the mcast code works with RCU and ipv6_dev_mc_dec() frees
mcast objects after RCU grace period.
While at it, we change the return type of pneigh_ifdown_and_unlock()
to void.

The next patch will free pneigh_entry with call_rcu().
Then, we need to annotate neigh_table.phash_buckets[] and
pneigh_entry.next with __rcu.
To make the next patch cleaner, let's annotate the fields in advance.
Currently, all accesses to the fields are under the neigh table lock,
so rcu_dereference_protected() is used with 1 for now, but most of them
(except in pneigh_delete() and pneigh_ifdown_and_unlock()) will be
replaced with rcu_dereference() and rcu_dereference_check().
Note that pneigh_ifdown_and_unlock() changes pneigh_entry.next to a
local list, which is illegal because the RCU iterator could be moved
to another list. This part will be fixed in the next patch.

pneigh_lookup() has ASSERT_RTNL() in the middle of the function, which
is confusing.
When called with the last argument, creat, 0, pneigh_lookup() literally
looks up a proxy neighbour entry. This is the case of the reader path
as the fast path and RTM_GETNEIGH.
pneigh_lookup(), however, creates a pneigh_entry when called with creat 1
from RTM_NEWNEIGH and SIOCSARP, which require RTNL.
Let's split pneigh_lookup() into two functions.
We will convert all the reader paths to RCU, and read_lock_bh(&tbl->lock)
in the new pneigh_lookup() will be dropped.

A crash in conntrack was reported while trying to unlink the conntrack
entry from the hash bucket list:
[exception RIP: __nf_ct_delete_from_lists+172]
[..]
#7 [ff539b5a2b043aa0] nf_ct_delete at ffffffffc124d421 [nf_conntrack]
#8 [ff539b5a2b043ad0] nf_ct_gc_expired at ffffffffc124d999 [nf_conntrack]
#9 [ff539b5a2b043ae0] __nf_conntrack_find_get at ffffffffc124efbc [nf_conntrack]
[..]
The nf_conn struct is marked as allocated from slab but appears to be in
a partially initialised state:
ct hlist pointer is garbage; looks like the ct hash value
(hence crash).
ct->status is equal to IPS_CONFIRMED|IPS_DYING, which is expected
ct->timeout is 30000 (=30s), which is unexpected.
Everything else looks like normal udp conntrack entry. If we ignore
ct->status and pretend its 0, the entry matches those that are newly
allocated but not yet inserted into the hash:
- ct hlist pointers are overloaded and store/cache the raw tuple hash
- ct->timeout matches the relative time expected for a new udp flow
rather than the absolute 'jiffies' value.
If it were not for the presence of IPS_CONFIRMED,
__nf_conntrack_find_get() would have skipped the entry.
Theory is that we did hit following race:
cpu x cpu y cpu z
found entry E found entry E
E is expired <preemption>
nf_ct_delete()
return E to rcu slab
init_conntrack
E is re-inited,
ct->status set to 0
reply tuplehash hnnode.pprev
stores hash value.
cpu y found E right before it was deleted on cpu x.
E is now re-inited on cpu z. cpu y was preempted before
checking for expiry and/or confirm bit.
->refcnt set to 1
E now owned by skb
->timeout set to 30000
If cpu y were to resume now, it would observe E as
expired but would skip E due to missing CONFIRMED bit.
nf_conntrack_confirm gets called
sets: ct->status |= CONFIRMED
This is wrong: E is not yet added
to hashtable.
cpu y resumes, it observes E as expired but CONFIRMED:
<resumes>
nf_ct_expired()
-> yes (ct->timeout is 30s)
confirmed bit set.
cpu y will try to delete E from the hashtable:
nf_ct_delete() -> set DYING bit
__nf_ct_delete_from_lists
Even this scenario doesn't guarantee a crash:
cpu z still holds the table bucket lock(s) so y blocks:
wait for spinlock held by z
CONFIRMED is set but there is no
guarantee ct will be added to hash:
"chaintoolong" or "clash resolution"
logic both skip the insert step.
reply hnnode.pprev still stores the
hash value.
unlocks spinlock
return NF_DROP
<unblocks, then
crashes on hlist_nulls_del_rcu pprev>
In case CPU z does insert the entry into the hashtable, cpu y will unlink
E again right away but no crash occurs.
Without 'cpu y' race, 'garbage' hlist is of no consequence:
ct refcnt remains at 1, eventually skb will be free'd and E gets
destroyed via: nf_conntrack_put -> nf_conntrack_destroy -> nf_ct_destroy.
To resolve this, move the IPS_CONFIRMED assignment after the table
insertion but before the unlock.
Pablo points out that the confirm-bit-store could be reordered to happen
before hlist add resp. the timeout fixup, so switch to set_bit and
before_atomic memory barrier to prevent this.
It doesn't matter if other CPUs can observe a newly inserted entry right
before the CONFIRMED bit was set:
Such event cannot be distinguished from above "E is the old incarnation"
case: the entry will be skipped.
Also change nf_ct_should_gc() to first check the confirmed bit.
The gc sequence is:
1. Check if entry has expired, if not skip to next entry
2. Obtain a reference to the expired entry.
3. Call nf_ct_should_gc() to double-check step 1.
nf_ct_should_gc() is thus called only for entries that already failed an
expiry check. After this patch, once the confirmed bit check passes
ct->timeout has been altered to reflect the absolute 'best before' date
instead of a relative time. Step 3 will therefore not remove the entry.
Without this change to nf_ct_should_gc() we could still get this sequence:
1. Check if entry has expired.
2. Obtain a reference.
3. Call nf_ct_should_gc() to double-check step 1:
4 - entry is still observed as expired
5 - meanwhile, ct->timeout is corrected to absolute value on other CPU
and confirm bit gets set
6 - confirm bit is seen
7 - valid entry is removed again
First do check 6), then 4) so the gc expiry check always picks up either
confirmed bit unset (entry gets skipped) or expiry re-check failure for
re-inited conntrack objects.
This change cannot be backported to releases before 5.19. Without
commit 8a75a2c174 ("netfilter: conntrack: remove unconfirmed list")
|= IPS_CONFIRMED line cannot be moved without further changes.

Prior to calling bind() a program may call connect() on a socket to
restrict to a remote peer address.
Using connect() is the normal mechanism to specify a remote network
peer, so we use that here. In MCTP connect() is only used for bound
sockets - send() is not available for MCTP since a tag must be provided
for each message.
The smctp_type must match between connect() and bind() calls.

This reverts commit e3eac9f32e ("wifi: cfg80211: Annotate struct
cfg80211_scan_request with __counted_by").
This really has been a completely failed experiment. There were
no actual bugs found, and yet at this point we already have four
"fixes" to it, with nothing to show for but code churn, and it
never even made the code any safer.
In all of the cases that ended up getting "fixed", the structure
is also internally inconsistent after the n_channels setting as
the channel list isn't actually filled yet. You cannot scan with
such a structure, that's just wrong. In mac80211, the struct is
also reused multiple times, so initializing it once is no good.
Some previous "fixes" (e.g. one in brcm80211) are also just setting
n_channels before accessing the array, under the assumption that the
code is correct and the array can be accessed, further showing that
the whole thing is just pointless when the allocation count and use
count are not separate.
If we really wanted to fix it, we'd need to separately track the
number of channels allocated and the number of channels currently
used, but given that no bugs were found despite the numerous syzbot
reports, that'd just be a waste of time.
Remove the __counted_by() annotation. We really should also remove
a number of the n_channels settings that are setting up a structure
that's inconsistent, but that can wait.

This patch provides a setsockopt method to let applications leverage to
adjust how many descs to be handled at most in one send syscall. It
mitigates the situation where the default value (32) that is too small
leads to higher frequency of triggering send syscall.
Considering the prosperity/complexity the applications have, there is no
absolutely ideal suggestion fitting all cases. So keep 32 as its default
value like before.
The patch does the following things:
- Add XDP_MAX_TX_SKB_BUDGET socket option.
- Set max_tx_budget to 32 by default in the initialization phase as a
per-socket granular control.
- Set the range of max_tx_budget as [32, xs->tx->nentries].
The idea behind this comes out of real workloads in production. We use a
user-level stack with xsk support to accelerate sending packets and
minimize triggering syscalls. When the packets are aggregated, it's not
hard to hit the upper bound (namely, 32). The moment user-space stack
fetches the -EAGAIN error number passed from sendto(), it will loop to try
again until all the expected descs from tx ring are sent out to the driver.
Enlarging the XDP_MAX_TX_SKB_BUDGET value contributes to less frequency of
sendto() and higher throughput/PPS.
Here is what I did in production, along with some numbers as follows:
For one application I saw lately, I suggested using 128 as max_tx_budget
because I saw two limitations without changing any default configuration:
1) XDP_MAX_TX_SKB_BUDGET, 2) socket sndbuf which is 212992 decided by
net.core.wmem_default. As to XDP_MAX_TX_SKB_BUDGET, the scenario behind
this was I counted how many descs are transmitted to the driver at one
time of sendto() based on [1] patch and then I calculated the
possibility of hitting the upper bound. Finally I chose 128 as a
suitable value because 1) it covers most of the cases, 2) a higher
number would not bring evident results. After twisting the parameters,
a stable improvement of around 4% for both PPS and throughput and less
resources consumption were found to be observed by strace -c -p xxx:
1) %time was decreased by 7.8%
2) error counter was decreased from 18367 to 572

inline function.
2. Moved qdisc_peek_len from net/sched/sch_hfsc.c to

When SAE commit is sent and received in response, there's no
ordering for the SAE confirm messages. As such, don't call
drivers to stop listening on the channel when the confirm
message is still expected.
This fixes an issue if the local confirm is transmitted later
than the AP's confirm, for iwlwifi (and possibly mt76) the
AP's confirm would then get lost since the device isn't on
the channel at the time the AP transmit the confirm.
For iwlwifi at least, this also improves the overall timing
of the authentication handshake (by about 15ms according to
the report), likely since the session protection won't be
aborted and rescheduled.
Note that even before this, mgd_complete_tx() wasn't always
called for each call to mgd_prepare_tx() (e.g. in the case
of WEP key shared authentication), and the current drivers
that have the complete callback don't seem to mind. Document
this as well though.

If we get to the error path of ieee80211_prep_connection, for example
because of a FW issue, then ieee80211_vif_set_links is called
with 0.
But the call to drv_change_vif_links from ieee80211_vif_update_links
will probably fail as well, for the same reason.
In this case, the valid_links and active_links bitmaps will be reverted
to the value of the failing connection.
Then, in the next connection, due to the logic of
ieee80211_set_vif_links_bitmaps, valid_links will be set to the ID of
the new connection assoc link, but the active_links will remain with the
ID of the old connection's assoc link.
If those IDs are different, we get into a weird state of valid_links and
active_links being different. One of the consequences of this state is
to call drv_change_vif_links with new_links as 0, since the & operation
between the bitmaps will be 0.
Since a removal of a link should always succeed, ignore the return value
of drv_change_vif_links if it was called to only remove links, which is
the case for the ieee80211_prep_connection's error path.
That way, the bitmaps will not be reverted to have the value from the
failing connection and will have 0, so the next connection will have a
good state.
