leds: trigger: netdev: Fix kernel panic on interface rename trig notify
[ Upstream commit 415798bc07dd1c1ae3a656aa026580816e0b9fe8 ]
Commit d5e01266e7f5 ("leds: trigger: netdev: add additional specific link speed mode") in the various changes, reworked the way to set the LINKUP mode in commit cee4bd16c319 ("leds: trigger: netdev: Recheck NETDEV_LED_MODE_LINKUP on dev rename") and moved it to a generic function.
This changed the logic where, in the previous implementation the dev from the trigger event was used to check if the carrier was ok, but in the new implementation with the generic function, the dev in trigger_data is used instead.
This is problematic and cause a possible kernel panic due to the fact that the dev in the trigger_data still reference the old one as the new one (passed from the trigger event) still has to be hold and saved in the trigger_data struct (done in the NETDEV_REGISTER case).
On calling of get_device_state(), an invalid net_dev is used and this cause a kernel panic.
To handle this correctly, move the call to get_device_state() after the new net_dev is correctly set in trigger_data (in the NETDEV_REGISTER case) and correctly parse the new dev.

commit fe2b1226656afae56702d1d84c6900f6b67df297 upstream.
When working on LED support for r8169 I got the following lockdep warning. Easiest way to prevent this scenario seems to be to take the RTNL lock before the trigger_data lock in set_device_name().

leds: trigger: netdev: Move size check in set_device_name
commit 259e33cbb1712a7dd844fc9757661cc47cb0e39b upstream.
GCC 13.2 complains about array subscript 17 is above array bounds of 'char[16]' with IFNAMSIZ set to 16.
The warning is correct but this scenario is impossible. set_device_name is called by device_name_store (store sysfs entry) and netdev_trig_activate.
device_name_store already check if size is >= of IFNAMSIZ and return -EINVAL. (making the warning scenario impossible)
netdev_trig_activate works on already defined interface, where the name has already been checked and should already follow the condition of strlen() < IFNAMSIZ.
Aside from the scenario being impossible, set_device_name can be improved to both mute the warning and make the function safer. To make it safer, move size check from device_name_store directly to set_device_name and prevent any out of bounds scenario.

leds: trigger: netdev: rename 'hw_control' sysfs entry to 'offloaded'
Commit b655892ffd6d ("leds: trigger: netdev: expose hw_control status via sysfs") exposed to sysfs the flag that tells whether the LED trigger is offloaded to hardware, under the name "hw_control", since that is the name under which this setting is called in the code.
Everywhere else in kernel when some work that is normally done in software can be made to be done by hardware instead, we use the word "offloading" to describe this, e.g. "LED blinking is offloaded to hardware".
Normally renaming sysfs entries is a no-go because of backwards compatibility. But since this patch was not yet released in a stable kernel, I think it is still possible to rename it, if there is consensus.

led: trig: netdev: Fix requesting offload device
When the netdev trigger is activates, it tries to determine what device the LED blinks for, and what the current blink mode is.
The documentation for hw_control_get() says:
* Return 0 on success, a negative error number on failing parsing the * initial mode. Error from this function is NOT FATAL as the device * may be in a not supported initial state by the attached LED trigger. */
For the Marvell PHY and the Armada 370-rd board, the initial LED blink mode is not supported by the trigger, so it returns an error. This resulted in not getting the device the LED is blinking for. As a result, the device is unknown and offloaded is never performed.
Change to condition to always get the device if offloading is supported, and reduce the scope of testing for an error from hw_control_get() to skip setting trigger internal state if there is an error.

Merge tag 'net-next-6.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking changes from Jakub Kicinski: "WiFi 7 and sendpage changes are the biggest pieces of work for this release. The latter will definitely require fixes but I think that we got it to a reasonable point.
Core:
- Rework the sendpage & splice implementations
Instead of feeding data into sockets page by page extend sendmsg handlers to support taking a reference on the data, controlled by a new flag called MSG_SPLICE_PAGES
Rework the handling of unexpected-end-of-file to invoke an additional callback instead of trying to predict what the right combination of MORE/NOTLAST flags is
Remove the MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST flag completely
- Implement SCM_PIDFD, a new type of CMSG type analogous to SCM_CREDENTIALS, but it contains pidfd instead of plain pid
- Enable socket busy polling with CONFIG_RT
- Improve reliability and efficiency of reporting for ref_tracker
- Auto-generate a user space C library for various Netlink families
Protocols:
- Allow TCP to shrink the advertised window when necessary, prevent sk_rcvbuf auto-tuning from growing the window all the way up to tcp_rmem[2]
- Use per-VMA locking for "page-flipping" TCP receive zerocopy
- Prepare TCP for device-to-device data transfers, by making sure that payloads are always attached to skbs as page frags
- Make the backoff time for the first N TCP SYN retransmissions linear. Exponential backoff is unnecessarily conservative
- Create a new MPTCP getsockopt to retrieve all info (MPTCP_FULL_INFO)
- Avoid waking up applications using TLS sockets until we have a full record
- Allow using kernel memory for protocol ioctl callbacks, paving the way to issuing ioctls over io_uring
- Add nolocalbypass option to VxLAN, forcing packets to be fully encapsulated even if they are destined for a local IP address
- Make TCPv4 use consistent hash in TIME_WAIT and SYN_RECV. Ensure in-kernel ECMP implementation (e.g. Open vSwitch) select the same link for all packets. Support L4 symmetric hashing in Open vSwitch
- PPPoE: make number of hash bits configurable
- Allow DNS to be overwritten by DHCPACK in the in-kernel DHCP client (ipconfig)
- Add layer 2 miss indication and filtering, allowing higher layers (e.g. ACL filters) to make forwarding decisions based on whether packet matched forwarding state in lower devices (bridge)
- Support matching on Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) packets
- Hide the "link becomes ready" IPv6 messages by demoting their printk level to debug
- HSR: don't enable promiscuous mode if device offloads the proto
- Support active scanning in IEEE 802.15.4
- Continue work on Multi-Link Operation for WiFi 7
BPF:
- Add precision propagation for subprogs and callbacks. This allows maintaining verification efficiency when subprograms are used, or in fact passing the verifier at all for complex programs, especially those using open-coded iterators
- Improve BPF's {g,s}setsockopt() length handling. Previously BPF assumed the length is always equal to the amount of written data. But some protos allow passing a NULL buffer to discover what the output buffer *should* be, without writing anything
- Accept dynptr memory as memory arguments passed to helpers
- Add routing table ID to bpf_fib_lookup BPF helper
- Support O_PATH FDs in BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands
- Drop bpf_capable() check in BPF_MAP_FREEZE command (used to mark maps as read-only)
- Show target_{obj,btf}_id in tracing link fdinfo
- Addition of several new kfuncs (most of the names are self-explanatory): - Add a set of new dynptr kfuncs: bpf_dynptr_adjust(), bpf_dynptr_is_null(), bpf_dynptr_is_rdonly(), bpf_dynptr_size() and bpf_dynptr_clone(). - bpf_task_under_cgroup() - bpf_sock_destroy() - force closing sockets - bpf_cpumask_first_and(), rework bpf_cpumask_any*() kfuncs
Netfilter:
- Relax set/map validation checks in nf_tables. Allow checking presence of an entry in a map without using the value
- Increase ip_vs_conn_tab_bits range for 64BIT builds
- Allow updating size of a set
- Improve NAT tuple selection when connection is closing
Driver API:
- Integrate netdev with LED subsystem, to allow configuring HW "offloaded" blinking of LEDs based on link state and activity (i.e. packets coming in and out)
- Support configuring rate selection pins of SFP modules
- Factor Clause 73 auto-negotiation code out of the drivers, provide common helper routines
- Add more fool-proof helpers for managing lifetime of MDIO devices associated with the PCS layer
- Allow drivers to report advanced statistics related to Time Aware scheduler offload (taprio)
- Allow opting out of VF statistics in link dump, to allow more VFs to fit into the message
- Split devlink instance and devlink port operations
New hardware / drivers:
- Ethernet: - Synopsys EMAC4 IP support (stmmac) - Marvell 88E6361 8 port (5x1GE + 3x2.5GE) switches - Marvell 88E6250 7 port switches - Microchip LAN8650/1 Rev.B0 PHYs - MediaTek MT7981/MT7988 built-in 1GE PHY driver
- WiFi: - Realtek RTL8192FU, 2.4 GHz, b/g/n mode, 2T2R, 300 Mbps - Realtek RTL8723DS (SDIO variant) - Realtek RTL8851BE

Drivers:
- Ethernet NICs: - Intel (100G, ice): - support dynamic interrupt allocation - use meta data match instead of VF MAC addr on slow-path - nVidia/Mellanox: - extend link aggregation to handle 4, rather than just 2 ports - spawn sub-functions without any features by default - OcteonTX2: - support HTB (Tx scheduling/QoS) offload - make RSS hash generation configurable - support selecting Rx queue using TC filters - Wangxun (ngbe/txgbe): - add basic Tx/Rx packet offloads - add phylink support (SFP/PCS control) - Freescale/NXP (enetc): - report TAPRIO packet statistics - Solarflare/AMD: - support matching on IP ToS and UDP source port of outer header - VxLAN and GENEVE tunnel encapsulation over IPv4 or IPv6 - add devlink dev info support for EF10
- Virtual NICs: - Microsoft vNIC: - size the Rx indirection table based on requested configuration - support VLAN tagging - Amazon vNIC: - try to reuse Rx buffers if not fully consumed, useful for ARM servers running with 16kB pages - Google vNIC: - support TCP segmentation of >64kB frames

Merge branch 'leds-trigger-netdev-add-additional-modes'
Christian Marangi says:
==================== leds: trigger: netdev: add additional modes
This is a continue of [1]. It was decided to take a more gradual approach to implement LEDs support for switch and phy starting with basic support and then implementing the hw control part when we have all the prereq done.
This should be the final part for the netdev trigger. I added net-next tag and added netdev mailing list since I was informed that this should be merged with netdev branch.
We collect some info around and we found a good set of modes that are common in almost all the PHY and Switch.
These modes are: - Modes for dedicated link speed(10, 100, 1000 mbps). Additional mode can be added later following this example. - Modes for half and full duplex.
The original idea was to add hw control only modes. While the concept makes sense in practice it would results in lots of additional code and extra check to make sure we are setting correct modes.
With the suggestion from Andrew it was pointed out that using the ethtool APIs we can actually get the current link speed and duplex and this effectively removed the problem of having hw control only modes since we can fallback to software.
Since these modes are supported by software, we can skip providing an user for this in the LED driver to support hw control for these new modes (that will come right after this is merged) and prevent this to be another multi subsystem series.
For link speed and duplex we use ethtool APIs.
To call ethtool APIs, rtnl lock is needed but this can be skipped on handling netdev events as the lock is already held.
