Before, 'nstat' was used to retrieve each individual counter: this means
querying 4 different sources from /proc/net and iterating over 100+
counters each time. Instead, the stats could be retrieved once, and the
output file could be parsed for each counter. Even better, such file is
already present: the nstat history file.
To be able to get this working, the nstat history file also needs to
contains zero counters too, so it is still possible to know if a counter
is missing or set to 0.
This also simplifies mptcp_connect.sh: instead of checking multiple
counters before and after a test to compute the difference, the stats
history files can be reset before each test, and nstat can display only
the difference.
mptcp_lib_get_counter() continues to work when no history file is
available: by fetching nstat directly, like before. This is the case in
diag.sh and userspace_pm.sh where there is no need to save the history
file. This is also the case in mptcp_join.sh, when 'run_tests' is
executed in the background: easier to continue fetching counters than
updating the history each time it is needed.
Note: 'nstat' is called with '-s' in mptcp_lib_nstat_get(), so this
helper can be called multiple times during the test if needed.

In case of errors, dump the stats from history instead of using nstat.
There are multiple advantages to that:
- The same filters from pr_err_stats are used, e.g. the unused 'rate'
column is not displayed.
- The counters are closer to the ones from when the test stopped.
- While at it, the errors can be better presented: error colours, a
small indentation to distinguish the different parts, extra new lines.
Even if it should only happen in rare cases -- internal errors, or netns
issues -- if no history is available, 'nstat' is used like before, just
in case.

net.ipv4.tcp_comp_sack_slack_ns current default value is too high.
When a flow has many drops (1 % or more), and small RTT, adding 100 usec
before sending SACK stalls the sender relying on getting SACK
fast enough to keep the pipe busy.
Decrease the default to 10 usec.
This is orthogonal to Congestion Control heuristics to determine
if drops are caused by congestion or not.

fbnic supports pause frames. When pause frames are enabled presumably
user expects lossless operation from the NIC. Make sure we configure
RDE (Rx DMA Engine) to DROP_NEVER mode to avoid discards due to delays
in fetching Rx descriptors from the host.
While at it enable DROP_NEVER when NIC only has a single queue
configured. In this case the NIC acts as a FIFO so there's no risk
of head-of-line blocking other queues by making RDE wait. If pause
is disabled this just moves the packet loss from the DMA engine to
the Rx buffer.
Remove redundant call to fbnic_config_drop_mode_rcq(), introduced by
commit 0cb4c0a137 ("eth: fbnic: Implement Rx queue
alloc/start/stop/free"). This call does not add value as
fbnic_enable_rcq(), which is called immediately afterward, already
handles this.
Although we do not support autoneg at this time, preserve tx_pause in
.mac_link_up instead of fbnic_phylink_get_pauseparam()

====================
net: mlx: migrate to new get_rx_ring_count ethtool API
This series migrates the mlx4 and mlx5 drivers to use the new
.get_rx_ring_count() callback introduced in commit 84eaf4359c ("net:
ethtool: add get_rx_ring_count callback to optimize RX ring queries").
Previously, these drivers handled ETHTOOL_GRXRINGS within the
.get_rxnfc() callback. With the dedicated .get_rx_ring_count() API, this
handling can be extracted and simplified.
For mlx5, this affects both the ethernet and IPoIB drivers. The
ETHTOOL_GRXRINGS handling was previously kept in .get_rxnfc() to support
"ethtool -x" when CONFIG_MLX5_EN_RXNFC=n, but this is no longer
necessary with the new dedicated callback.
Note: The mlx4 changes are compile-tested only, while mlx5 changes were
properly tested.

Since commit 78524b05f1 ("mm, swap: avoid redundant swap device
pinning"), the common helper for allocating and preparing a folio in the
swap cache layer no longer tries to get a swap device reference
internally, because all callers of __read_swap_cache_async are already
holding a swap entry reference. The repeated swap device pinning isn't
needed on the same swap device.
Caller of VMA readahead is also holding a reference to the target entry's
swap device, but VMA readahead walks the page table, so it might encounter
swap entries from other devices, and call __read_swap_cache_async on
another device without holding a reference to it.
So it is possible to cause a UAF when swapoff of device A raced with
swapin on device B, and VMA readahead tries to read swap entries from
device A. It's not easy to trigger, but in theory, it could cause real
issues.
Make VMA readahead try to get the device reference first if the swap
device is a different one from the target entry.

When crashkernel is configured with a high reservation, shrinking its
value below the low crashkernel reservation causes two issues:
1. Invalid crashkernel resource objects
2. Kernel crash if crashkernel shrinking is done twice
For example, with crashkernel=200M,high, the kernel reserves 200MB of high
memory and some default low memory (say 256MB). The reservation appears
as:
cat /proc/iomem | grep -i crash
af000000-beffffff : Crash kernel
433000000-43f7fffff : Crash kernel
If crashkernel is then shrunk to 50MB (echo 52428800 >
/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size), /proc/iomem still shows 256MB reserved:
af000000-beffffff : Crash kernel
Instead, it should show 50MB:
af000000-b21fffff : Crash kernel
Further shrinking crashkernel to 40MB causes a kernel crash with the
following trace (x86):
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000038

In the past, CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE indicated that we support
runtime allocation of gigantic hugetlb folios. In the meantime it evolved
into a generic way for the architecture to state that it supports gigantic
hugetlb folios.
In commit fae7d834c4 ("mm: add __dump_folio()") we started using
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE to decide MAX_FOLIO_ORDER: whether we could
have folios larger than what the buddy can handle. In the context of that
commit, we started using MAX_FOLIO_ORDER to detect page corruptions when
dumping tail pages of folios. Before that commit, we assumed that we
cannot have folios larger than the highest buddy order, which was
obviously wrong.
In commit 7b4f21f5e0 ("mm/hugetlb: check for unreasonable folio sizes
when registering hstate"), we used MAX_FOLIO_ORDER to detect
inconsistencies, and in fact, we found some now.
Powerpc allows for configs that can allocate gigantic folio during boot
(not at runtime), that do not set CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE and can
exceed PUD_ORDER.
To fix it, let's make powerpc select CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE with
hugetlb on powerpc, and increase the maximum folio size with hugetlb to 16
GiB on 64bit (possible on arm64 and powerpc) and 1 GiB on 32 bit
(powerpc). Note that on some powerpc configurations, whether we actually
have gigantic pages depends on the setting of CONFIG_ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER,
but there is nothing really problematic about setting it unconditionally:
we just try to keep the value small so we can better detect problems in
__dump_folio() and inconsistencies around the expected largest folio in
the system.
Ideally, we'd have a better way to obtain the maximum hugetlb folio size
and detect ourselves whether we really end up with gigantic folios. Let's
defer bigger changes and fix the warnings first.
While at it, handle gigantic DAX folios more clearly: DAX can only end up
creating gigantic folios with HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD.
Add a new Kconfig option HAVE_GIGANTIC_FOLIOS to make both cases clearer.
In particular, worry about ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE only with HUGETLB_PAGE.
Note: with enabling CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE on powerpc, we will now
also allow for runtime allocations of folios in some more powerpc configs.
I don't think this is a problem, but if it is we could handle it through
__HAVE_ARCH_GIGANTIC_PAGE_RUNTIME_SUPPORTED.
While __dump_page()/__dump_folio was also problematic (not handling
dumping of tail pages of such gigantic folios correctly), it doesn't seem
critical enough to mark it as a fix.

net: stmmac: rk: use PHY_INTF_SEL_x
This series is a minimal conversion of the dwmac-rk huge driver to use
PHY_INTF_SEL_x constants.
Patch 2 appears to reorder the output functions making diffing the
generated code impossible.

Commit dc82a33297 ("veth: apply qdisc backpressure on full ptr_ring to
reduce TX drops") introduced a race condition that can lead to a permanently
stalled TXQ. This was observed in production on ARM64 systems (Ampere Altra
Max).
The race occurs in veth_xmit(). The producer observes a full ptr_ring and
stops the queue (netif_tx_stop_queue()). The subsequent conditional logic,
intended to re-wake the queue if the consumer had just emptied it (if
(__ptr_ring_empty(...)) netif_tx_wake_queue()), can fail. This leads to a
"lost wakeup" where the TXQ remains stopped (QUEUE_STATE_DRV_XOFF) and
traffic halts.
This failure is caused by an incorrect use of the __ptr_ring_empty() API
from the producer side. As noted in kernel comments, this check is not
guaranteed to be correct if a consumer is operating on another CPU. The
empty test is based on ptr_ring->consumer_head, making it reliable only for
the consumer. Using this check from the producer side is fundamentally racy.
This patch fixes the race by adopting the more robust logic from an earlier
version V4 of the patchset, which always flushed the peer:
(1) In veth_xmit(), the racy conditional wake-up logic and its memory barrier
are removed. Instead, after stopping the queue, we unconditionally call
__veth_xdp_flush(rq). This guarantees that the NAPI consumer is scheduled,
making it solely responsible for re-waking the TXQ.
This handles the race where veth_poll() consumes all packets and completes
NAPI *before* veth_xmit() on the producer side has called netif_tx_stop_queue.
The __veth_xdp_flush(rq) will observe rx_notify_masked is false and schedule
NAPI.
(2) On the consumer side, the logic for waking the peer TXQ is moved out of
veth_xdp_rcv() and placed at the end of the veth_poll() function. This
placement is part of fixing the race, as the netif_tx_queue_stopped() check
must occur after rx_notify_masked is potentially set to false during NAPI
completion.
This handles the race where veth_poll() consumes all packets, but haven't
finished (rx_notify_masked is still true). The producer veth_xmit() stops the
TXQ and __veth_xdp_flush(rq) will observe rx_notify_masked is true, meaning
not starting NAPI. Then veth_poll() change rx_notify_masked to false and
stops NAPI. Before exiting veth_poll() will observe TXQ is stopped and wake
it up.

The validation of the set(nsh(...)) action is completely wrong.
It runs through the nsh_key_put_from_nlattr() function that is the
same function that validates NSH keys for the flow match and the
push_nsh() action. However, the set(nsh(...)) has a very different
memory layout. Nested attributes in there are doubled in size in
case of the masked set(). That makes proper validation impossible.
There is also confusion in the code between the 'masked' flag, that
says that the nested attributes are doubled in size containing both
the value and the mask, and the 'is_mask' that says that the value
we're parsing is the mask. This is causing kernel crash on trying to
write into mask part of the match with SW_FLOW_KEY_PUT() during
validation, while validate_nsh() doesn't allocate any memory for it:

The third issue with this process is that while trying to convert
the non-masked set into masked one, validate_set() copies and doubles
the size of the OVS_KEY_ATTR_NSH as if it didn't have any nested
attributes. It should be copying each nested attribute and doubling
them in size independently. And the process must be properly reversed
during the conversion back from masked to a non-masked variant during
the flow dump.
In the end, the only two outcomes of trying to use this action are
either validation failure or a kernel crash. And if somehow someone
manages to install a flow with such an action, it will most definitely
not do what it is supposed to, since all the keys and the masks are
mixed up.
Fixing all the issues is a complex task as it requires re-writing
most of the validation code.
Given that and the fact that this functionality never worked since
introduction, let's just remove it altogether. It's better to
re-introduce it later with a proper implementation instead of trying
to fix it in stable releases.

syzbot reported use-after-free in mptcp_schedule_work() [1]
Issue here is that mptcp_schedule_work() schedules a work,
then gets a refcount on sk->sk_refcnt if the work was scheduled.
This refcount will be released by mptcp_worker().
[A] if (schedule_work(...)) {
[B] sock_hold(sk);
return true;
}
Problem is that mptcp_worker() can run immediately and complete before [B]
We need instead :
sock_hold(sk);
if (schedule_work(...))
return true;
sock_put(sk);

Convert the bnx2x driver to use the new .get_rx_ring_count ethtool
operation instead of implementing .get_rxnfc solely for handling
ETHTOOL_GRXRINGS command. This simplifies the code by replacing the
switch statement with a direct return of the queue count.
The new callback provides the same functionality in a more direct way,
following the ongoing ethtool API modernization.
