Once in a while, with just the right timing, 802.3ad slaves will fail to properly initialize, winding up in a weird state, with a partner system mac address of 00:00:00:00:00:00. This started happening after a fix to properly track link_failure_count tracking, where an 802.3ad slave that reported itself as link up in the miimon code, but wasn't able to get a valid speed/duplex, started getting set to BOND_LINK_FAIL instead of BOND_LINK_DOWN. That was the proper thing to do for the general "my link went down" case, but has created a link initialization race that can put the interface in this odd state. The simple fix is to instead set the slave link to BOND_LINK_DOWN again, if the link has never been up (last_link_up == 0), so the link state doesn't bounce from BOND_LINK_DOWN to BOND_LINK_FAIL -- it hasn't failed in this case, it simply hasn't been up yet, and this prevents the unnecessary state change from DOWN to FAIL and getting stuck in an init failure w/o a partner mac.

Function tcf_action_dump() relies on tc_action->order field when starting nested nla to send action data to userspace. This approach breaks in several cases: - When multiple filters point to same shared action, tc_action->order field is overwritten each time it is attached to filter. This causes filter dump to output action with incorrect attribute for all filters that have the action in different position (different order) from the last set tc_action->order value. - When action data is displayed using tc action API (RTM_GETACTION), action order is overwritten by tca_action_gd() according to its position in resulting array of nl attributes, which will break filter dump for all filters attached to that shared action that expect it to have different order value. Don't rely on tc_action->order when dumping actions. Set nla according to action position in resulting array of actions instead.

The user can change the device_name with the IMSETDEVNAME ioctl, but we need to ensure that the user's name is NUL terminated. Otherwise it could result in a buffer overflow when we copy the name back to the user with IMGETDEVINFO ioctl. I also changed two strcpy() calls which handle the name to strscpy(). Hopefully, there aren't any other ways to create a too long name, but it's nice to do this as a kernel hardening measure.

TLS offload drivers shouldn't (and currently don't) block the TLS offload feature changes based on whether there are active offloaded connections or not. This seems to be a good idea, because we want the admin to be able to disable the TLS offload at any time, and there is no clean way of disabling it for active connections (TX side is quite problematic). So if features are cleared existing connections will stay offloaded until they close, and new connections will not attempt offload to a given device. However, the offload state removal handling is currently broken if feature flags get cleared while there are active TLS offloads. RX side will completely bail from cleanup, even on normal remove path, leaving device state dangling, potentially causing issues when the 5-tuple is reused. It will also fail to release the netdev reference. Remove the RX-side warning message, in next release cycle it should be printed when features are disabled, rather than when connection dies, but for that we need a more efficient method of finding connection of a given netdev (a'la BPF offload code).

When netdev with active kTLS sockets in unregistered notifier callback walks the offloaded sockets and cleans up offload state. RX data may still be processed, however, and if resync was requested prior to device removal we would hit a NULL pointer dereference on ctx->netdev use. Make sure resync is under the device offload lock and NULL-check the netdev pointer. This should be safe, because the pointer is set to NULL either in the netdev notifier (under said lock) or when socket is completely dead and no resync can happen. The other access to ctx->netdev in tls_validate_xmit_skb() does not dereference the pointer, it just checks it against other device pointer, so it should be pretty safe (perhaps we can add a READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE there, if paranoid).

This documentation is mostly targeting hardware vendors who want to implement offload, to ensure consistency between implementations. v2: - add emphasis around TLS_SW/TLS_HW/TLS_HW_RECORD; - remove mentions of ongoing work (Boris); - split the flow of data in SW vs. HW cases in TX overview (Boris); - call out which fields are updated by the device and which are filled by the stack (Boris); - move error handling into it's own section (Boris); - add more words about fallback (Boris); - note that checksum validation is required (Alexei); - note that drivers shouldn't pay attention to the TLS device features.

Doing kmalloc in atomic context is always an issue, more so for a list that can grow significantly. Turns out that the driver only uses the duplicated list of multicast mac addresses to keep track of what addresses to delete from h/w before committing the new list from kernel to h/w back again via set_rx_mode, every time this list gets updated by the kernel. Given that the h/w knows how to add and delete mac addresses based on the mac address value alone, __dev_mc_sync should be the much better choice of kernel API for these operations avoiding the considerable overhead of maintaining a duplicated list in the driver.
