In some cases it is possible for kernel to come with request
to change primary MAC address to the address that is already
set on the given interface.
Add proper check to return fast from the function in these cases.
An example of such case is adding an interface to bonding
channel in balance-alb mode:
modprobe bonding mode=balance-alb miimon=100 max_bonds=1
ip link set bond0 up
ifenslave bond0 <eth>

Add READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() on accesses to the sock flow table.
This also prevents a (smart ?) compiler to remove the condition in:
if (table->ents[index] != newval)
table->ents[index] = newval;
We need the condition to avoid dirtying a shared cache line.

In case the library is tracking busy subsystem, simply
printing stack for every active reference will spam log
with long, hard to read, redundant stack traces. To improve
readabilty following changes have been made:
- reports are printed per stack_handle - log is more compact,
- added display name for ref_tracker_dir - it will differentiate
multiple subsystems,
- stack trace is printed indented, in the same printk call,
- info about dropped references is printed as well.

Busy polling is currently not allowed on PREEMPT_RT, because it disables
preemption while invoking the NAPI callback. It is not possible to acquire
sleeping locks with disabled preemption. For details see commit
20ab39d13e ("net/core: disable NET_RX_BUSY_POLL on PREEMPT_RT").
However, strict cyclic and/or low latency network applications may prefer busy
polling e.g., using AF_XDP instead of interrupt driven communication.
The preempt_disable() is used in order to prevent the poll_owner and NAPI owner
to be preempted while owning the resource to ensure progress. Netpoll performs
busy polling in order to acquire the lock. NAPI is locked by setting the
NAPIF_STATE_SCHED flag. There is no busy polling if the flag is set and the
"owner" is preempted. Worst case is that the task owning NAPI gets preempted and
NAPI processing stalls. This is can be prevented by properly prioritising the
tasks within the system.
Allow RX_BUSY_POLL on PREEMPT_RT if NETPOLL is disabled. Don't disable
preemption on PREEMPT_RT within the busy poll loop.
Tested on x86 hardware with v6.1-RT and v6.3-RT on Intel i225 (igc) with
AF_XDP/ZC sockets configured to run in busy polling mode.

__kfree_skb_defer() uses the old naming where "defer" meant
slab bulk free/alloc APIs. In the meantime we also made
__kfree_skb_defer() feed the per-NAPI skb cache, which
implies bulk APIs. So take away the 'defer' and add 'napi'.
While at it add a drop reason. This only matters on the
tx_action path, if the skb has a frag_list. But getting
rid of a SKB_DROP_REASON_NOT_SPECIFIED seems like a net
benefit so why not.

Recent patches to mlx5 mentioned a regression when moving from
driver local page pool to only using the generic page pool code.
Page pool has two recycling paths (1) direct one, which runs in
safe NAPI context (basically consumer context, so producing
can be lockless); and (2) via a ptr_ring, which takes a spin
lock because the freeing can happen from any CPU; producer
and consumer may run concurrently.
Since the page pool code was added, Eric introduced a revised version
of deferred skb freeing. TCP skbs are now usually returned to the CPU
which allocated them, and freed in softirq context. This places the
freeing (producing of pages back to the pool) enticingly close to
the allocation (consumer).
If we can prove that we're freeing in the same softirq context in which
the consumer NAPI will run - lockless use of the cache is perfectly fine,
no need for the lock.
Let drivers link the page pool to a NAPI instance. If the NAPI instance
is scheduled on the same CPU on which we're freeing - place the pages
in the direct cache.
With that and patched bnxt (XDP enabled to engage the page pool, sigh,
bnxt really needs page pool work :() I see a 2.6% perf boost with
a TCP stream test (app on a different physical core than softirq).
The CPU use of relevant functions decreases as expected:
page_pool_refill_alloc_cache 1.17% -> 0%
_raw_spin_lock 2.41% -> 0.98%
Only consider lockless path to be safe when NAPI is scheduled
- in practice this should cover majority if not all of steady state
workloads. It's usually the NAPI kicking in that causes the skb flush.
The main case we'll miss out on is when application runs on the same
CPU as NAPI. In that case we don't use the deferred skb free path.

The commits referenced below allows userspace to use the NLM_F_ECHO flag
for RTM_NEW/DELLINK operations to receive unicast notifications for the
affected link. Prior to these changes, applications may have relied on
multicast notifications to learn the same information without specifying
the NLM_F_ECHO flag.
For such applications, the mentioned commits changed the behavior for
requests not using NLM_F_ECHO. Multicast notifications are still received,
but now use the portid of the requester and the sequence number of the
request instead of zero values used previously. For the application, this
message may be unexpected and likely handled as a response to the
NLM_F_ACKed request, especially if it uses the same socket to handle
requests and notifications.
To fix existing applications relying on the old notification behavior,
set the portid and sequence number in the notification only if the
request included the NLM_F_ECHO flag. This restores the old behavior
for applications not using it, but allows unicasted notifications for
others.

There was a sort of rush surrounding commit 88c0a6b503 ("net: create a
netdev notifier for DSA to reject PTP on DSA master"), due to a desire
to convert DSA's attempt to deny TX timestamping on a DSA master to
something that doesn't block the kernel-wide API conversion from
ndo_eth_ioctl() to ndo_hwtstamp_set().
What was required was a mechanism that did not depend on ndo_eth_ioctl(),
and what was provided was a mechanism that did not depend on
ndo_eth_ioctl(), while at the same time introducing something that
wasn't absolutely necessary - a new netdev notifier.
There have been objections from Jakub Kicinski that using notifiers in
general when they are not absolutely necessary creates complications to
the control flow and difficulties to maintainers who look at the code.
So there is a desire to not use notifiers.
In addition to that, the notifier chain gets called even if there is no
DSA in the system and no one is interested in applying any restriction.
Take the model of udp_tunnel_nic_ops and introduce a stub mechanism,
through which net/core/dev_ioctl.c can call into DSA even when
CONFIG_NET_DSA=m.
Compared to the code that existed prior to the notifier conversion, aka
what was added in commits:
- 4cfab35667 ("net: dsa: Add wrappers for overloaded ndo_ops")
- 3369afba1e ("net: Call into DSA netdevice_ops wrappers")
this is different because we are not overloading any struct
net_device_ops of the DSA master anymore, but rather, we are exposing a
rather specific functionality which is orthogonal to which API is used
to enable it - ndo_eth_ioctl() or ndo_hwtstamp_set().
Also, what is similar is that both approaches use function pointers to
get from built-in code to DSA.
There is no point in replicating the function pointers towards
__dsa_master_hwtstamp_validate() once for every CPU port (dev->dsa_ptr).
Instead, it is sufficient to introduce a singleton struct dsa_stubs,
built into the kernel, which contains a single function pointer to
__dsa_master_hwtstamp_validate().
I find this approach preferable to what we had originally, because
dev->dsa_ptr->netdev_ops->ndo_do_ioctl() used to require going through
struct dsa_port (dev->dsa_ptr), and so, this was incompatible with any
attempts to add any data encapsulation and hide DSA data structures from
the outside world.

assume the following setup on a single machine:
1. An openvswitch instance with one bridge and default flows
2. two network namespaces "server" and "client"
3. two ovs interfaces "server" and "client" on the bridge
4. for each ovs interface a veth pair with a matching name and 32 rx and
tx queues
5. move the ends of the veth pairs to the respective network namespaces
6. assign ip addresses to each of the veth ends in the namespaces (needs
to be the same subnet)
7. start some http server on the server network namespace
8. test if a client in the client namespace can reach the http server
when following the actions below the host has a chance of getting a cpu
stuck in a infinite loop:
1. send a large amount of parallel requests to the http server (around
3000 curls should work)
2. in parallel delete the network namespace (do not delete interfaces or
stop the server, just kill the namespace)
there is a low chance that this will cause the below kernel cpu stuck
message. If this does not happen just retry.
Below there is also the output of bpftrace for the functions mentioned
in the output.
The series of events happening here is:
1. the network namespace is deleted calling
`unregister_netdevice_many_notify` somewhere in the process
2. this sets first `NETREG_UNREGISTERING` on both ends of the veth and
then runs `synchronize_net`
3. it then calls `call_netdevice_notifiers` with `NETDEV_UNREGISTER`
4. this is then handled by `dp_device_event` which calls
`ovs_netdev_detach_dev` (if a vport is found, which is the case for
the veth interface attached to ovs)
5. this removes the rx_handlers of the device but does not prevent
packages to be sent to the device
6. `dp_device_event` then queues the vport deletion to work in
background as a ovs_lock is needed that we do not hold in the
unregistration path
7. `unregister_netdevice_many_notify` continues to call
`netdev_unregister_kobject` which sets `real_num_tx_queues` to 0
8. port deletion continues (but details are not relevant for this issue)
9. at some future point the background task deletes the vport
If after 7. but before 9. a packet is send to the ovs vport (which is
not deleted at this point in time) which forwards it to the
`dev_queue_xmit` flow even though the device is unregistering.
In `skb_tx_hash` (which is called in the `dev_queue_xmit`) path there is
a while loop (if the packet has a rx_queue recorded) that is infinite if
`dev->real_num_tx_queues` is zero.
To prevent this from happening we update `do_output` to handle devices
without carrier the same as if the device is not found (which would
be the code path after 9. is done).
Additionally we now produce a warning in `skb_tx_hash` if we will hit
the infinite loop.

The fact that PTP 2-step TX timestamping is broken on DSA switches if
the master also timestamps the same packets is documented by commit
f685e609a3 ("net: dsa: Deny PTP on master if switch supports it").
We attempt to help the users avoid shooting themselves in the foot by
making DSA reject the timestamping ioctls on an interface that is a DSA
master, and the switch tree beneath it contains switches which are aware
of PTP.
The only problem is that there isn't an established way of intercepting
ndo_eth_ioctl calls, so DSA creates avoidable burden upon the network
stack by creating a struct dsa_netdevice_ops with overlaid function
pointers that are manually checked from the relevant call sites. There
used to be 2 such dsa_netdevice_ops, but now, ndo_eth_ioctl is the only
one left.
There is an ongoing effort to migrate driver-visible hardware timestamping
control from the ndo_eth_ioctl() based API to a new ndo_hwtstamp_set()
model, but DSA actively prevents that migration, since dsa_master_ioctl()
is currently coded to manually call the master's legacy ndo_eth_ioctl(),
and so, whenever a network device driver would be converted to the new
API, DSA's restrictions would be circumvented, because any device could
be used as a DSA master.
The established way for unrelated modules to react on a net device event
is via netdevice notifiers. So we create a new notifier which gets
called whenever there is an attempt to change hardware timestamping
settings on a device.
Finally, there is another reason why a netdev notifier will be a good
idea, besides strictly DSA, and this has to do with PHY timestamping.
With ndo_eth_ioctl(), all MAC drivers must manually call
phy_has_hwtstamp() before deciding whether to act upon SIOCSHWTSTAMP,
otherwise they must pass this ioctl to the PHY driver via
phy_mii_ioctl().
With the new ndo_hwtstamp_set() API, it will be desirable to simply not
make any calls into the MAC device driver when timestamping should be
performed at the PHY level.
But there exist drivers, such as the lan966x switch, which need to
install packet traps for PTP regardless of whether they are the layer
that provides the hardware timestamps, or the PHY is. That would be
impossible to support with the new API.
The proposal there, too, is to introduce a netdev notifier which acts as
a better cue for switching drivers to add or remove PTP packet traps,
than ndo_hwtstamp_set(). The one introduced here "almost" works there as
well, except for the fact that packet traps should only be installed if
the PHY driver succeeded to enable hardware timestamping, whereas here,
we need to deny hardware timestamping on the DSA master before it
actually gets enabled. This is why this notifier is called "PRE_", and
the notifier that would get used for PHY timestamping and packet traps
would be called NETDEV_CHANGE_HWTSTAMP. This isn't a new concept, for
example NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER and NETDEV_PRECHANGEUPPER do the same thing.
In expectation of future netlink UAPI, we also pass a non-NULL extack
pointer to the netdev notifier, and we make DSA populate it with an
informative reason for the rejection. To avoid making it go to waste, we
make the ioctl-based dev_set_hwtstamp() create a fake extack and print
the message to the kernel log.

____napi_schedule() adds a napi into current cpu softnet_data poll_list,
then raises NET_RX_SOFTIRQ to make sure net_rx_action() will process it.
Idea of this patch is to not raise NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when being called indirectly
from net_rx_action(), because we can process poll_list from this point,
without going to full softirq loop.
This needs a change in net_rx_action() to make sure we restart
its main loop if sd->poll_list was updated without NET_RX_SOFTIRQ
being raised.
