The current implementation does not allow the user to enable both hw-tc-offload and ntuple features on the interface. These checks are added as TC flower offload and ntuple features internally configures the same hardware resource MCAM. But TC HTB offload configures the transmit scheduler which can be safely enabled on the interface with ntuple feature. This patch adds the same and ensures only TC flower offload and ntuple features are mutually exclusive. Signed-off-by:

In bond_reset_slave_arr(), values are assigned and memory is released only when the variables "usable" and "all" are not NULL. But even if the "usable" and "all" variables are NULL, they can still work, because value will be checked in kfree_rcu. Therefore, use bond_set_slave_arr() and set the input parameters "usable_slaves" and "all_slaves" to NULL to simplify the code in bond_reset_slave_arr(). And the same to bond_uninit(). Signed-off-by:

Because debugfs_create_dir returns ERR_PTR, so bonding_debug_root will never be NULL. Remove redundant NULL check for bonding_debug_root in debugfs function. The later debugfs_create_dir/debugfs_remove_recursive /debugfs_remove_recursive functions will check the dentry with IS_ERR(). Signed-off-by:

When gso.hdr_len is zero and a packet is transmitted via write() or writev(), all payload is treated as header which requires a contiguous memory allocation. This allocation request is harder to satisfy, and may even fail if there is enough fragmentation. Note that sendmsg() code path limits the linear copy length, so this change makes write()/writev() and sendmsg() paths more consistent. Signed-off-by:

When the netdev trigger is activates, it tries to determine what device the LED blinks for, and what the current blink mode is. The documentation for hw_control_get() says: * Return 0 on success, a negative error number on failing parsing the * initial mode. Error from this function is NOT FATAL as the device * may be in a not supported initial state by the attached LED trigger. */ For the Marvell PHY and the Armada 370-rd board, the initial LED blink mode is not supported by the trigger, so it returns an error. This resulted in not getting the device the LED is blinking for. As a result, the device is unknown and offloaded is never performed. Change to condition to always get the device if offloading is supported, and reduce the scope of testing for an error from hw_control_get() to skip setting trigger internal state if there is an error.

When using a fixed-link setup, certain devices like the SJA1105 require a small pause in the TXC clock line to enable their internal tunable delay line (TDL). To satisfy this requirement, this patch temporarily disables the TX clock, and restarts it after a required period. This provides the required silent interval on the clock line for SJA1105 to complete the frequency transition and enable the internal TDLs. This action occurs before the link is built up, so it does not impact a normal device too. There is no need to identify if the connected device is an SJA1105 alike or not during the implementation. So far we have only enabled this feature on the i.MX93 platform. Signed-off-by:

We used to change the flags for the last segment, because non-last segments had the MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST flag set. That flag is no longer a thing so remove the setting. Since flags most likely don't have MSG_SPLICE_PAGES set this avoids passing parts of the sg as splice and parts as non-splice. Before commit under Fixes we'd have called tcp_sendpage() which would add the MSG_SPLICE_PAGES.

This series contains the following patches: 1) Do not skip expired elements during walk otherwise elements might never decrement the reference counter on data, leading to memleak. 2) Add a GC transaction API to replace the former attempt to deal with races between control plane and GC. GC worker sets on NFT_SET_ELEM_DEAD_BIT on elements and it creates a GC transaction to remove the expired elements, GC transaction could abort in case of interference with control plane and retried later (GC async). Set backends such as rbtree and pipapo also perform GC from control plane (GC sync), in such case, element deactivation and removal is safe because mutex is held then collected elements are released via call_rcu(). 3) Adapt existing set backends to use the GC transaction API. 4) Update rhash set backend to set on _DEAD bit to report deleted elements from datapath for GC. 5) Remove old GC batch API and the NFT_SET_ELEM_BUSY_BIT. * tag 'nf-23-08-10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netfilter/nf: netfilter: nf_tables: remove busy mark and gc batch API netfilter: nft_set_hash: mark set element as dead when deleting from packet path netfilter: nf_tables: adapt set backend to use GC transaction API netfilter: nf_tables: GC transaction API to avoid race with control plane netfilter: nf_tables: don't skip expired elements during walk ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230810070830.24064-1-pablo@netfilter.orgSigned-off-by:

If a login request fails, the recovery process should be protected against parallel resets. It is a known issue that freeing and registering CRQ's in quick succession can result in a failover CRQ from the VIOS. Processing a failover during login recovery is dangerous for two reasons: 1. This will result in two parallel initialization processes, this can cause serious issues during login. 2. It is possible that the failover CRQ is received but never executed. We get notified of a pending failover through a transport event CRQ. The reset is not performed until a INIT CRQ request is received. Previously, if CRQ init fails during login recovery, then the ibmvnic irq is freed and the login process returned error. If failover_pending is true (a transport event was received), then the ibmvnic device would never be able to process the reset since it cannot receive the CRQ_INIT request due to the irq being freed. This leaved the device in a inoperable state. Therefore, the login failure recovery process must be hardened against these possible issues. Possible failovers (due to quick CRQ free and init) must be avoided and any issues during re-initialization should be dealt with instead of being propagated up the stack. This logic is similar to that of ibmvnic_probe(). Fixes: dff515a3 ("ibmvnic: Harden device login requests") Signed-off-by:

Perform a partial reset before sending a login request if any of the following are true: 1. If a previous request times out. This can be dangerous because the VIOS could still receive the old login request at any point after the timeout. Therefore, it is best to re-register the CRQ's and sub-CRQ's before retrying. 2. If the previous request returns an error that is not described in PAPR. PAPR provides procedures if the login returns with partial success or aborted return codes (section L.5.1) but other values do not have a defined procedure. Previously, these conditions just returned error from the login function rather than trying to resolve the issue. This can cause further issues since most callers of the login function are not prepared to handle an error when logging in. This improper cleanup can lead to the device being permanently DOWN'd. For example, if the VIOS believes that the device is already logged in then it will return INVALID_STATE (-7). If we never re-register CRQ's then it will always think that the device is already logged in. This leaves the device inoperable. The partial reset involves freeing the sub-CRQs, freeing the CRQ then registering and initializing a new CRQ and sub-CRQs. This essentially restarts all communication with VIOS to allow for a fresh login attempt that will be unhindered by any previous failed attempts.

Rather than leaving the DMA unmapping of the login buffers to the login response handler, move this work into the login release functions. Previously, these functions were only used for freeing the allocated buffers. This could lead to issues if there are more than one outstanding login buffer requests, which is possible if a login request times out. If a login request times out, then there is another call to send login. The send login function makes a call to the login buffer release function. In the past, this freed the buffers but did not DMA unmap. Therefore, the VIOS could still write to the old login (now freed) buffer. It is for this reason that it is a good idea to leave the DMA unmap call to the login buffers release function. Since the login buffer release functions now handle DMA unmapping, remove the duplicate DMA unmapping in handle_login_rsp(). Fixes: dff515a3 ("ibmvnic: Harden device login requests") Signed-off-by:
