      Pull networking fixes from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Quite calm.

  The noisy DSA driver (embedded switches) changes, and adjustment to
  IPv6 IOAM behavior add to diffstat's bottom line but are not scary.

  Current release - regressions:

   - af_unix: rename UNIX-DGRAM to UNIX to maintain backwards
     compatibility

   - procfs: revert "add seq_puts() statement for dev_mcast", minor
     format change broke user space

  Current release - new code bugs:

   - dsa: fix bridge_num not getting cleared after ports leaving the
     bridge, resource leak

   - dsa: tag_dsa: send packets with TX fwd offload from VLAN-unaware
     bridges using VID 0, prevent packet drops if pvid is removed

   - dsa: mv88e6xxx: keep the pvid at 0 when VLAN-unaware, prevent HW
     getting confused about station to VLAN mapping

  Previous releases - regressions:

   - virtio-net: fix for skb_over_panic inside big mode

   - phy: do not shutdown PHYs in READY state

   - dsa: mv88e6xxx: don't use PHY_DETECT on internal PHY's, fix link
     LED staying lit after ifdown

   - mqprio: Correct stats in mqprio_dump_class_stats()

   - ice: fix deadlock for Tx timestamp tracking flush

  Previous releases - always broken:

   - sctp: account stream padding length for reconf chunk

   - icmp: fix icmp_ext_echo_iio parsing in icmp_build_probe()

   - isdn: cpai: check ctr->cnr to avoid array index out of bound

   - isdn: mISDN: fix sleeping function called from invalid context

   - nfc: nci: fix potential UAF of rf_conn_info object

   - dsa: microchip: prevent ksz_mib_read_work from kicking back in
     after it's canceled in .remove and crashing

   - dsa: mv88e6xxx: isolate the ATU databases of standalone and bridged
     ports

   - dsa: sja1105, ocelot: break circular dependency between switch and
     tag drivers

   - dsa: felix: improve timestamping in presence of packe loss

   - mlxsw: thermal: fix out-of-bounds memory accesses

  Misc:

   - ipv6: ioam: move the check for undefined bits to improve
     interoperability"

      icmp: fix icmp_ext_echo_iio parsing in icmp_build_probe · 1fcd7945
      Xin Long authored 
      In icmp_build_probe(), the icmp_ext_echo_iio parsing should be done
step by step and skb_header_pointer() return value should always be
checked, this patch fixes 3 places in there:

  - On case ICMP_EXT_ECHO_CTYPE_NAME, it should only copy ident.name
    from skb by skb_header_pointer(), its len is ident_len. Besides,
    the return value of skb_header_pointer() should always be checked.

  - On case ICMP_EXT_ECHO_CTYPE_INDEX, move ident_len check ahead of
    skb_header_pointer(), and also do the return value check for
    skb_header_pointer().

  - On case ICMP_EXT_ECHO_CTYPE_ADDR, before accessing iio->ident.addr.
    ctype3_hdr.addrlen, skb_header_pointer() should be called first,
    then check its return value and ident_len.
    On subcases ICMP_AFI_IP and ICMP_AFI_IP6, also do check for ident.
    addr.ctype3_hdr.addrlen and skb_header_pointer()'s return value.
    On subcase ICMP_AFI_IP, the len for skb_header_pointer() should be
    "sizeof(iio->extobj_hdr) + sizeof(iio->ident.addr.ctype3_hdr) +
    sizeof(struct in_addr)" or "ident_len".

v1->v2:
  - To make it more clear, call skb_header_pointer() once only for
    iio->indent's parsing as Jakub Suggested.
v2->v3:
  - The extobj_hdr.length check against sizeof(_iio) should be done
    before calling skb_header_pointer(), as Eric noticed.

      sctp: account stream padding length for reconf chunk · a2d859e3
      Eiichi Tsukata authored 
      sctp_make_strreset_req() makes repeated calls to sctp_addto_chunk()
which will automatically account for padding on each call. inreq and
outreq are already 4 bytes aligned, but the payload is not and doing
SCTP_PAD4(a + b) (which _sctp_make_chunk() did implicitly here) is
different from SCTP_PAD4(a) + SCTP_PAD4(b) and not enough. It led to
possible attempt to use more buffer than it was allocated and triggered
a BUG_ON.

      mlxsw: thermal: Fix out-of-bounds memory accesses · 332fdf95
      Ido Schimmel authored 
      Currently, mlxsw allows cooling states to be set above the maximum
cooling state supported by the driver:

 # cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone2/cdev0/type
 mlxsw_fan
 # cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone2/cdev0/max_state
 10
 # echo 18 > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone2/cdev0/cur_state
 # echo $?
 0

This results in out-of-bounds memory accesses when thermal state
transition statistics are enabled (CONFIG_THERMAL_STATISTICS=y), as the
transition table is accessed with a too large index (state) [1].

According to the thermal maintainer, it is the responsibility of the
driver to reject such operations [2].

Therefore, return an error when the state to be set exceeds the maximum
cooling state supported by the driver.

To avoid dead code, as suggested by the thermal maintainer [3],
partially revert commit a421ce08 ("mlxsw: core: Extend cooling
device with cooling levels") that tried to interpret these invalid
cooling states (above the maximum) in a special way. The cooling levels
array is not removed in order to prevent the fans going below 20% PWM,
which would cause them to get stuck at 0% PWM.

      ethernet: s2io: fix setting mac address during resume · 40507e7a
      Arnd Bergmann authored 
      After recent cleanups, gcc started warning about a suspicious
memcpy() call during the s2io_io_resume() function:

In function '__dev_addr_set',
    inlined from 'eth_hw_addr_set' at include/linux/etherdevice.h:318:2,
    inlined from 's2io_set_mac_addr' at drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/s2io.c:5205:2,
    inlined from 's2io_io_resume' at drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/s2io.c:8569:7:
arch/x86/include/asm/string_32.h:182:25: error: '__builtin_memcpy' accessing 6 bytes at offsets 0 and 2 overlaps 4 bytes at offset 2 [-Werror=restrict]

 4648 |         memcpy(dev->dev_addr, addr, len);
      |         ^~~~~~

What apparently happened is that an old cleanup changed the calling
conventions for s2io_set_mac_addr() from taking an ethernet address
as a character array to taking a struct sockaddr, but one of the
callers was not changed at the same time.

Change it to instead call the low-level do_s2io_prog_unicast() function
that still takes the old argument type.

      spi-mux: Fix false-positive lockdep splats · 16a8e2fb
      Uwe Kleine-König authored 
      io_mutex is taken by spi_setup() and spi-mux's .setup() callback calls
spi_setup() which results in a nested lock of io_mutex.

add_lock is taken by spi_add_device(). The device_add() call in there
can result in calling spi-mux's .probe() callback which registers its
own spi controller which in turn results in spi_add_device() being
called again.

To fix this initialize the controller's locks already in
spi_alloc_controller() to give spi_mux_probe() a chance to set the
lockdep subclass.

      spi: Fix deadlock when adding SPI controllers on SPI buses · 6098475d
      Mark Brown authored 
      Currently we have a global spi_add_lock which we take when adding new
devices so that we can check that we're not trying to reuse a chip
select that's already controlled.  This means that if the SPI device is
itself a SPI controller and triggers the instantiation of further SPI
devices we trigger a deadlock as we try to register and instantiate
those devices while in the process of doing so for the parent controller
and hence already holding the global spi_add_lock.  Since we only care
about concurrency within a single SPI bus move the lock to be per
controller, avoiding the deadlock.

This can be easily triggered in the case of spi-mux.

      This reverts commit ec18e845.

It turns out that there are user space programs which got broken by that
change. One example is the "ifstat" program shipped by Debian:
https://packages.debian.org/source/bullseye/ifstat
which, confusingly enough, seems to not have anything in common with the
much more familiar (at least to me) ifstat program from iproute2:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git/tree/misc/ifstat.c

The reason why the ifstat shipped by Debian (v1.1, with a Debian patch
upgrading it to 1.1-8.1 at the time of writing) is broken is because its
"proc" driver/backend parses the header very literally:

main/drivers.c#L825
  if (!data->checked && strncmp(buf, "Inter-|", 7))
    goto badproc;

and there's no way in which the header can be changed such that programs
parsing like that would not get broken.

Even if we fix this ancient and very "lightly" maintained program to
parse the text output of /proc/net/dev in a more sensible way, this
story seems bound to repeat again with other programs, and modifying
them all could cause more trouble than it's worth. On the other hand,
the reverted patch had no other reason than an aesthetic one, so
reverting it is the simplest way out.

I don't know what other distributions would be affected; the fact that
Debian doesn't ship the iproute2 version of the program (a different
code base altogether, which uses netlink and not /proc/net/dev) is
surprising in itself.
