Lino reports that on his system with bcmgenet as DSA master and KSZ9897
as a switch, rebooting or shutting down never works properly.
What does the bcmgenet driver have special to trigger this, that other
DSA masters do not? It has an implementation of ->shutdown which simply
calls its ->remove implementation. Otherwise said, it unregisters its
network interface on shutdown.
This message can be seen in a loop, and it hangs the reboot process there:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 3
So why 3?
A usage count of 1 is normal for a registered network interface, and any
virtual interface which links itself as an upper of that will increment
it via dev_hold. In the case of DSA, this is the call path:
dsa_slave_create
-> netdev_upper_dev_link
-> __netdev_upper_dev_link
-> __netdev_adjacent_dev_insert
-> dev_hold
So a DSA switch with 3 interfaces will result in a usage count elevated
by two, and netdev_wait_allrefs will wait until they have gone away.
Other stacked interfaces, like VLAN, watch NETDEV_UNREGISTER events and
delete themselves, but DSA cannot just vanish and go poof, at most it
can unbind itself from the switch devices, but that must happen strictly
earlier compared to when the DSA master unregisters its net_device, so
reacting on the NETDEV_UNREGISTER event is way too late.
It seems that it is a pretty established pattern to have a driver's
->shutdown hook redirect to its ->remove hook, so the same code is
executed regardless of whether the driver is unbound from the device, or
the system is just shutting down. As Florian puts it, it is quite a big
hammer for bcmgenet to unregister its net_device during shutdown, but
having a common code path with the driver unbind helps ensure it is well
tested.
So DSA, for better or for worse, has to live with that and engage in an
arms race of implementing the ->shutdown hook too, from all individual
drivers, and do something sane when paired with masters that unregister
their net_device there. The only sane thing to do, of course, is to
unlink from the master.
However, complications arise really quickly.
The pattern of redirecting ->shutdown to ->remove is not unique to
bcmgenet or even to net_device drivers. In fact, SPI controllers do it
too (see dspi_shutdown -> dspi_remove), and presumably, I2C controllers
and MDIO controllers do it too (this is something I have not researched
too deeply, but even if this is not the case today, it is certainly
plausible to happen in the future, and must be taken into consideration).
Since DSA switches might be SPI devices, I2C devices, MDIO devices, the
insane implication is that for the exact same DSA switch device, we
might have both ->shutdown and ->remove getting called.
So we need to do something with that insane environment. The pattern
I've come up with is "if this, then not that", so if either ->shutdown
or ->remove gets called, we set the device's drvdata to NULL, and in the
other hook, we check whether the drvdata is NULL and just do nothing.
This is probably not necessary for platform devices, just for devices on
buses, but I would really insist for consistency among drivers, because
when code is copy-pasted, it is not always copy-pasted from the best
sources.
So depending on whether the DSA switch's ->remove or ->shutdown will get
called first, we cannot really guarantee even for the same driver if
rebooting will result in the same code path on all platforms. But
nonetheless, we need to do something minimally reasonable on ->shutdown
too to fix the bug. Of course, the ->remove will do more (a full
teardown of the tree, with all data structures freed, and this is why
the bug was not caught for so long). The new ->shutdown method is kept
separate from dsa_unregister_switch not because we couldn't have
unregistered the switch, but simply in the interest of doing something
quick and to the point.
The big question is: does the DSA switch's ->shutdown get called earlier
than the DSA master's ->shutdown? If not, there is still a risk that we
might still trigger the WARN_ON in unregister_netdevice that says we are
attempting to unregister a net_device which has uppers. That's no good.
Although the reference to the master net_device won't physically go away
even if DSA's ->shutdown comes afterwards, remember we have a dev_hold
on it.
The answer to that question lies in this comment above device_link_add:
* A side effect of the link creation is re-ordering of dpm_list and the
* devices_kset list by moving the consumer device and all devices depending
* on it to the ends of these lists (that does not happen to devices that have
* not been registered when this function is called).
so the fact that DSA uses device_link_add towards its master is not
exactly for nothing. device_shutdown() walks devices_kset from the back,
so this is our guarantee that DSA's shutdown happens before the master's
shutdown.

MDIO-attached devices might have interrupts and other things that might
need quiesced when we kexec into a new kernel. Things are even more
creepy when those interrupt lines are shared, and in that case it is
absolutely mandatory to disable all interrupt sources.
Moreover, MDIO devices might be DSA switches, and DSA needs its own
shutdown method to unlink from the DSA master, which is a new
requirement that appeared after commit 2f1e8ea726 ("net: dsa: link
interfaces with the DSA master to get rid of lockdep warnings").
So introduce a ->shutdown method in the MDIO device driver structure.

This driver isn't enabled most places because of the ISA config
dependency, but alpha still has it. And I think the 'Jensen' actually
did have an ISA slot.
However, it doesn't build cleanly, because the "Vortex bus master" code
just casts the skb->data pointer to 'int':
outl((int) (skb->data), ioaddr + Wn7_MasterAddr);
which is all kinds of broken. Even on a good old traditional PC/AT it
would be broken because the high bits will be random kernel address
bits, but presumably the hardware ignores those bits. I mean, it's ISA.
We're talking 16MB dma limits. The "good old days".
Make the build happy with this kind of craziness by using the proper
isa_virt_to_bus() handling that the full bus master code uses anyway
(the Vortex bus mastering is a limited special case).
Who knows, this might even work.

The network interface managed by the mlxbf_gige driver can
get into a problem state where traffic does not flow.
In this state, the interface will be up and enabled, but
will stop processing received packets. This problem state
will happen if three specific conditions occur:
1) driver has received more than (N * RxRingSize) packets but
less than (N+1 * RxRingSize) packets, where N is an odd number
Note: the command "ethtool -g <interface>" will display the
current receive ring size, which currently defaults to 128
2) the driver's interface was disabled via "ifconfig oob_net0 down"
during the window described in #1.
3) the driver's interface is re-enabled via "ifconfig oob_net0 up"
This patch ensures that the driver's "valid_polarity" field is
cleared during the open() method so that it always matches the
receive polarity used by hardware. Without this fix, the driver
needs to be unloaded and reloaded to correct this problem state.

so the GSO aggregate packets are segmented by the kernel before calling
igc_xmit_frame. Inside the subsequent call to igc_tso, the check for
skb_is_gso(skb) fails and the function returns prematurely.
It turns out that this occurs because the feature flags aren't set
entirely correctly in igc_probe. In contrast to the original code
from igb_probe, igc_probe neglects to set the flags required to allow
tunnel offloading.
Setting the same flags as igb fixes the issue on igc.

What happens is that DSA has a policy "even if there are bugs, let's at
least not leak memory" and dsa_port_teardown() clears the dp->fdbs and
dp->mdbs lists, which are supposed to be empty.
But deleting that cleanup code, the warnings go away.
=> the FDB and MDB lists (used for refcounting on shared ports, aka CPU
and DSA ports) will eventually be empty, but are not empty by the time
we tear down those ports. Aka we are deleting them too soon.
The addresses that DSA complains about are host-trapped addresses: the
local addresses of the ports, and the MAC address of the bridge device.
The problem is that offloading those entries happens from a deferred
work item scheduled by the SWITCHDEV_FDB_DEL_TO_DEVICE handler, and this
races with the teardown of the CPU and DSA ports where the refcounting
is kept.
In fact, not only it races, but fundamentally speaking, if we iterate
through the port list linearly, we might end up tearing down the shared
ports even before we delete a DSA user port which has a bridge upper.
So as it turns out, we need to first tear down the user ports (and the
unused ones, for no better place of doing that), then the shared ports
(the CPU and DSA ports). In between, we need to ensure that all work
items scheduled by our switchdev handlers (which only run for user
ports, hence the reason why we tear them down first) have finished.

with phydev->drv, but it also removed the "!drv" check, without actually
explaining why that is fine.
That patch in fact breaks suspend/resume on any system which has PHY
devices with no drivers bound.
The stack trace is:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000000e8

dpm_suspend_start+0x7c/0xa0
suspend_devices_and_enter+0x13c/0x540
pm_suspend+0x2a4/0x330
Examples why that assumption is not fine:
- There is an MDIO bus with a PHY device that doesn't have a specific
PHY driver loaded, because mdiobus_register() automatically creates a
PHY device for it but there is no specific PHY driver in the system.
Normally under those circumstances, the generic PHY driver will be
bound lazily to it (at phy_attach_direct time). But some Ethernet
drivers attach to their PHY at .ndo_open time. Until then it, the
to-be-driven-by-genphy PHY device will not have a driver. The blamed
patch amounts to saying "you need to open all net devices before the
system can suspend, to avoid the NULL pointer dereference".
- There is any raw MDIO device which has 'plausible' values in the PHY
ID registers 2 and 3, which is located on an MDIO bus whose driver
does not set bus->phy_mask = ~0 (which prevents auto-scanning of PHY
devices). An example could be a MAC's internal MDIO bus with PCS
devices on it, for serial links such as SGMII. PHY devices will get
created for those PCSes too, due to that MDIO bus auto-scanning, and
although those PHY devices are not used, they do not bother anybody
either. PCS devices are usually managed in Linux as raw MDIO devices.
Nonetheless, they do not have a PHY driver, nor does anybody attempt
to connect to them (because they are not a PHY), and therefore this
patch breaks that.
The goal itself of the patch is questionable, so I am going for a
straight revert. to_phy_driver does not seem to have a need to be
replaced by phydev->drv, in fact that might even trigger code paths
which were not given too deep of a thought.
For instance:
phy_probe populates phydev->drv at the beginning, but does not clean it
up on any error (including EPROBE_DEFER). So if the phydev driver
requests probe deferral, phydev->drv will remain populated despite there
being no driver bound.
If a system suspend starts in between the initial probe deferral request
and the subsequent probe retry, we will be calling the phydev->drv->suspend
method, but _before_ any phydev->drv->probe call has succeeded.
That is to say, if the phydev->drv is allocating any driver-private data
structure in ->probe, it pretty much expects that data structure to be
available in ->suspend. But it may not. That is a pretty insane
environment to present to PHY drivers.
In the code structure before the blamed patch, mdio_bus_phy_may_suspend
would just say "no, don't suspend" to any PHY device which does not have
a driver pointer _in_the_device_structure_ (not the phydev->drv). That
would essentially ensure that ->suspend will never get called for a
device that has not yet successfully completed probe. This is the code
structure the patch is returning to, via the revert.

DSA supports connecting to a phy-handle, and has a fallback to a non-OF
based method of connecting to an internal PHY on the switch's own MDIO
bus, if no phy-handle and no fixed-link nodes were present.
The -ENODEV error code from the first attempt (phylink_of_phy_connect)
is what triggers the second attempt (phylink_connect_phy).
However, when the first attempt returns a different error code than
-ENODEV, this results in an unbalance of calls to phylink_create and
phylink_destroy by the time we exit the function. The phylink instance
has leaked.
There are many other error codes that can be returned by
phylink_of_phy_connect. For example, phylink_validate returns -EINVAL.
So this is a practical issue too.

a 48-byte name and pointers to the real inode information, or an "inode
entry" with a smaller 16-byte name and the full inode information.
But the code was written to always just treat the directory name as if
it was part of that "inode entry", and just extend the name to the
longer case if the status byte said it was a link entry.
That work just fine and gives the right results, but now that gcc is
tracking data structure accesses much more, the code can trigger a
compiler error about using up to 48 bytes (the long name) in a structure
that only has that shorter name in it:
fs/qnx4/dir.c: In function ‘qnx4_readdir’:
fs/qnx4/dir.c:51:32: error: ‘strnlen’ specified bound 48 exceeds source size 16 [-Werror=stringop-overread]

| ^~~~~~~~
which is because the source code doesn't really make this whole "one of
two different types" explicit.
Fix this by introducing a very explicit union of the two types, and
basically explaining to the compiler what is really going on.

The sparc mdesc code does pointer games with 'struct mdesc_hdr', but
didn't describe to the compiler how that header is then followed by the
data that the header describes.
As a result, gcc is now unhappy since it does stricter pointer range
tracking, and doesn't understand about how these things work. This
results in various errors like:
arch/sparc/kernel/mdesc.c: In function ‘mdesc_node_by_name’:
arch/sparc/kernel/mdesc.c:647:22: error: ‘strcmp’ reading 1 or more bytes from a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overread]
647 | if (!strcmp(names + ep[ret].name_offset, name))
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
which are easily avoided by just describing 'struct mdesc_hdr' better,
and making the node_block() helper function look into that unsized
data[] that follows the header.
This makes the sparc64 build happy again at least for my cross-compiler
version (gcc version 11.2.1).

On sparc64, __fls() returns an "int", but the drm TTM code expected it
to be "unsigned long" as on x86. As a result, on sparc (and arc, and
m68k) you get build errors because 'min()' checks that the types match.
As suggested by Linus, it can use min_t instead of min to force the type
to be "unsigned int".

The boot-time allocation interface for memblock is a mess, with
'memblock_alloc()' returning a virtual pointer, but then you are
supposed to free it with 'memblock_free()' that takes a _physical_
address.
Not only is that all kinds of strange and illogical, but it actually
causes bugs, when people then use it like a normal allocation function,
and it fails spectacularly on a NULL pointer:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210912140820.GD25450@xsang-OptiPlex-9020/
or just random memory corruption if the debug checks don't catch it:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/61ab2d0c-3313-aaab-514c-e15b7aa054a0@suse.cz/
I really don't want to apply patches that treat the symptoms, when the
fundamental cause is this horribly confusing interface.
I started out looking at just automating a sane replacement sequence,
but because of this mix or virtual and physical addresses, and because
people have used the "__pa()" macro that can take either a regular
kernel pointer, or just the raw "unsigned long" address, it's all quite
messy.
So this just introduces a new saner interface for freeing a virtual
address that was allocated using 'memblock_alloc()', and that was kept
as a regular kernel pointer. And then it converts a couple of users
that are obvious and easy to test, including the 'xbc_nodes' case in
lib/bootconfig.c that caused problems.

Linus proposes to revert an accounting for sops objects in
do_semtimedop() because it's really just a temporary buffer
for a single semtimedop() system call.
This object can consume up to 2 pages, syscall is sleeping
one, size and duration can be controlled by user, and this
allocation can be repeated by many thread at the same time.
However Shakeel Butt pointed that there are much more popular
objects with the same life time and similar memory
consumption, the accounting of which was decided to be
rejected for performance reasons.
Considering at least 2 pages for task_struct and 2 pages for
the kernel stack, a back of the envelope calculation gives a
footprint amplification of <1.5 so this temporal buffer can be
safely ignored.
The factor would IMO be interesting if it was >> 2 (from the
PoV of excessive (ab)use, fine-grained accounting seems to be
currently unfeasible due to performance impact).

6d2ef226f2 ("compiler_attributes.h: drop __has_attribute() support for

include/linux/compiler_attributes.h:296:5: warning: "__has_attribute" is not defined, evaluates to 0 [-Wundef]
296 | #if __has_attribute(__warning__)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile:225: arch/powerpc/boot/crt0.o] Error 1
But we expect __has_attribute() to always be defined now that we've
stopped using GCC 4.
Linus debugged it to the point of reading the GCC sources, and noticing
that the problem is that __has_attribute() is not defined when
preprocessing assembly files, which is what we're doing here.
Our assembly files don't include, or need, compiler_attributes.h, but
they are getting it unconditionally from the -include in BOOT_CFLAGS,
which is then added in its entirety to BOOT_AFLAGS.
That -include was added in commit 77433830ed ("powerpc: boot: include
compiler_attributes.h") so that we'd have "fallthrough" and other
attributes defined for the C files in arch/powerpc/boot. But it's not
needed for assembly files.
The minimal fix is to move the addition to BOOT_CFLAGS of -include
compiler_attributes.h until after we've copied BOOT_CFLAGS into
BOOT_AFLAGS. That avoids including compiler_attributes.h for asm files,
but makes no other change to BOOT_CFLAGS or BOOT_AFLAGS.

Fix cgroup v1 interference when non-root cgroup v2 BPF programs are used.
Back in the days, commit bd1060a1d6 ("sock, cgroup: add sock->sk_cgroup")
embedded per-socket cgroup information into sock->sk_cgrp_data and in order
to save 8 bytes in struct sock made both mutually exclusive, that is, when
cgroup v1 socket tagging (e.g. net_cls/net_prio) is used, then cgroup v2
falls back to the root cgroup in sock_cgroup_ptr() (&cgrp_dfl_root.cgrp).
The assumption made was "there is no reason to mix the two and this is in line
with how legacy and v2 compatibility is handled" as stated in bd1060a1d6.
However, with Kubernetes more widely supporting cgroups v2 as well nowadays,
this assumption no longer holds, and the possibility of the v1/v2 mixed mode
with the v2 root fallback being hit becomes a real security issue.
Many of the cgroup v2 BPF programs are also used for policy enforcement, just
to pick _one_ example, that is, to programmatically deny socket related system
calls like connect(2) or bind(2). A v2 root fallback would implicitly cause
a policy bypass for the affected Pods.
In production environments, we have recently seen this case due to various
circumstances: i) a different 3rd party agent and/or ii) a container runtime
such as [0] in the user's environment configuring legacy cgroup v1 net_cls
tags, which triggered implicitly mentioned root fallback. Another case is
Kubernetes projects like kind [1] which create Kubernetes nodes in a container
and also add cgroup namespaces to the mix, meaning programs which are attached
to the cgroup v2 root of the cgroup namespace get attached to a non-root
cgroup v2 path from init namespace point of view. And the latter's root is
out of reach for agents on a kind Kubernetes node to configure. Meaning, any
entity on the node setting cgroup v1 net_cls tag will trigger the bypass
despite cgroup v2 BPF programs attached to the namespace root.
Generally, this mutual exclusiveness does not hold anymore in today's user
environments and makes cgroup v2 usage from BPF side fragile and unreliable.
This fix adds proper struct cgroup pointer for the cgroup v2 case to struct
sock_cgroup_data in order to address these issues; this implicitly also fixes
the tradeoffs being made back then with regards to races and refcount leaks
as stated in bd1060a1d6, and removes the fallback, so that cgroup v2 BPF
programs always operate as expected.

When building objtool with HOSTCC=clang, there are several errors along

This occurs after commit 4e59869aa6 ("compiler-gcc.h: drop checks for

version check just so happened to prevent __compiletime_error() from
being defined with clang because it pretends to be GCC 4.2.1 for
compatibility but the error attribute was not added to clang until
14.0.0.
Commit 815f0ddb34 ("include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h

attributes in the main kernel to avoid situations like this but that
refactoring has never been done for the tools directory.
Refactoring is a rather large undertaking and this has never been an
issue before so instead, just guard the definition of
__compiletime_error() with __has_attribute() so that there are no more
errors.

Merge patch series from Nick Desaulniers to update the minimum gcc
version to 5.1.
This is some of the left-overs from the merge window that I didn't want
to deal with yesterday, so it comes in after -rc1 but was sent before.
Gcc-4.9 support has been an annoyance for some time, and with -Werror I
had the choice of applying a fairly big patch from Kees Cook to remove a
fair number of initializer warnings (still leaving some), or this patch
series from Nick that just removes the source of the problem.
The initializer cleanups might still be worth it regardless, but
honestly, I preferred just tackling the problem with gcc-4.9 head-on.
We've been more aggressiuve about no longer having to care about
compilers that were released a long time ago, and I think it's been a
good thing.
I added a couple of patches on top to sort out a few left-overs now that
we no longer support gcc-4.x.
As noted by Arnd, as a result of this minimum compiler version upgrade
we can probably change our use of '--std=gnu89' to '--std=gnu11', and
finally start using local loop declarations etc. But this series does
_not_ yet do that.
