net/neighbor: clear error in case strict check is not set

[ Upstream commit 0de6a472c3b38432b2f184bd64eb70d9ea36d107 ]

Commit 51183d233b5a ("net/neighbor: Update neigh_dump_info for strict
data checking") added strict checking. The err variable is not cleared,
so if we find no table to dump we will return the validation error even
if user did not want strict checking.

I think the only way to hit this is to send an buggy request, and ask
for a table which doesn't exist, so there's no point treating this
as a real fix. I only noticed it because a syzbot repro depended on it
to trigger another bug.

[ Upstream commit e5dc5afff62f3e97e86c3643ec9fcad23de4f2d3 ]

We are seeing cases where neigh_cleanup_and_release() is called by
neigh_forced_gc() many times in a row with preemption turned off.
When running on a low powered CPU at a low CPU frequency, this has
been measured to keep preemption off for ~10 ms. That's not great on a
system with HZ=1000 which expects tasks to be able to schedule in
with ~1ms latency.

Merge tag 'sysctl-6.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"Long ago we set out to remove the kitchen sink on kernel/sysctl.c
arrays and placings sysctls to their own sybsystem or file to help
avoid merge conflicts. Matthew Wilcox pointed out though that if we're
going to do that we might as well also *save* space while at it and
try to remove the extra last sysctl entry added at the end of each
array, a sentintel, instead of bloating the kernel by adding a new
sentinel with each array moved.

Doing that was not so trivial, and has required slowing down the moves
of kernel/sysctl.c arrays and measuring the impact on size by each new
move.

The complex part of the effort to help reduce the size of each sysctl
is being done by the patient work of el señor Don Joel Granados. A lot
of this is truly painful code refactoring and testing and then trying
to measure the savings of each move and removing the sentinels.
Although Joel already has code which does most of this work,
experience with sysctl moves in the past shows is we need to be
careful due to the slew of odd build failures that are possible due to
the amount of random Kconfig options sysctls use.

To that end Joel's work is split by first addressing the major
housekeeping needed to remove the sentinels, which is part of this
merge request. The rest of the work to actually remove the sentinels
will be done later in future kernel releases.

The preliminary math is showing this will all help reduce the overall
build time size of the kernel and run time memory consumed by the
kernel by about ~64 bytes per array where we are able to remove each
sentinel in the future. That also means there is no more bloating the
kernel with the extra ~64 bytes per array moved as no new sentinels
are created"

networking: Update to register_net_sysctl_sz

Move from register_net_sysctl to register_net_sysctl_sz for all the
networking related files. Do this while making sure to mirror the NULL
assignments with a table_size of zero for the unprivileged users.

We need to move to the new function in preparation for when we change
SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE() in the register_net_sysctl macro. Failing to do
so would erroneously allow ARRAY_SIZE() to be called on a pointer. We
hold off the SIZE_MAX to ARRAY_SIZE change until we have migrated all
the relevant net sysctl registering functions to register_net_sysctl_sz
in subsequent commits.

An additional size function was added to the following files in order to
calculate the size of an array that is defined in another file:

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core:

- Introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Increasing the
default value allows for better BIG TCP performances

- Reduce compound page head access for zero-copy data transfers

- RPS/RFS improvements, avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when
possible

- Threaded NAPI improvements, adding defer skb free support and
unneeded softirq avoidance

- Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues, via false
sharing avoidance and optimize refcount tracking

- Add lockless accesses annotation to sk_err[_soft]

- Optimize again the skb struct layout

- Extends the skb drop reasons to make it usable by multiple
subsystems

- Better const qualifier awareness for socket casts

BPF:

- Add skb and XDP typed dynptrs which allow BPF programs for more
ergonomic and less brittle iteration through data and
variable-sized accesses

- Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook
BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward

- Add more precise memory usage reporting for all BPF map types

- Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device
operating in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for
controlling encap params

- Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular
kfunc exists or not, and also add support for this in light
skeleton

- Bigger batch of BPF verifier improvements to prepare for upcoming
BPF open-coded iterators allowing for less restrictive looping
capabilities

- Rework RCU enforcement in the verifier, add kptr_rcu and enforce
BPF programs to NULL-check before passing such pointers into kfunc

- Add support for kptrs in percpu hashmaps, percpu LRU hashmaps and
in local storage maps

- Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr
tasks to be stored in BPF maps

- Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing
shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and
rbtree

- Add BPF verifier support for ST instructions in
convert_ctx_access() which will help new -mcpu=v4 clang flag to
start emitting them

- Add ARM32 USDT support to libbpf

- Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control
flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations

Protocols:

- IPv4: Allow adding to IPv4 address a 'protocol' tag. Such value
indicates the provenance of the IP address

- IPv6: optimize route lookup, dropping unneeded R/W lock acquisition

- Add the handshake upcall mechanism, allowing the user-space to
implement generic TLS handshake on kernel's behalf

- Bridge: support per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression, increasing
resilience to nodes failures

- SCTP: add support for Fair Capacity and Weighted Fair Queueing
schedulers

- MPTCP: delay first subflow allocation up to its first usage. This
will allow for later better LSM interaction

- xfrm: Remove inner/outer modes from input/output path. These are
not needed anymore

- WiFi:
- reduced neighbor report (RNR) handling for AP mode
- HW timestamping support
- support for randomized auth/deauth TA for PASN privacy
- per-link debugfs for multi-link
- TC offload support for mac80211 drivers
- mac80211 mesh fast-xmit and fast-rx support
- enable Wi-Fi 7 (EHT) mesh support

Netfilter:

- Add nf_tables 'brouting' support, to force a packet to be routed
instead of being bridged

- Update bridge netfilter and ovs conntrack helpers to handle IPv6
Jumbo packets properly, i.e. fetch the packet length from
hop-by-hop extension header. This is needed for BIT TCP support

- The iptables 32bit compat interface isn't compiled in by default
anymore

- Move ip(6)tables builtin icmp matches to the udptcp one. This has
the advantage that icmp/icmpv6 match doesn't load the
iptables/ip6tables modules anymore when iptables-nft is used

- Extended netlink error report for netdevice in flowtables and
netdev/chains. Allow for incrementally add/delete devices to netdev
basechain. Allow to create netdev chain without device

Driver API:

- Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable, as PCI core
has already error reporting enabled at enumeration time

- Move Multicast DB netlink handlers to core, allowing devices other
then bridge to use them

- Allow the page_pool to directly recycle the pages from safely
localized NAPI

- Implement lockless TX queue stop/wake combo macros, allowing for
further code de-duplication and sanitization

- Add YNL support for user headers and struct attrs

- Add partial YNL specification for devlink

- Add partial YNL specification for ethtool

- Add tc-mqprio and tc-taprio support for preemptible traffic classes

- Add tx push buf len param to ethtool, specifies the maximum number
of bytes of a transmitted packet a driver can push directly to the
underlying device

- Add basic LED support for switch/phy

- Add NAPI documentation, stop relaying on external links

- Convert dsa_master_ioctl() to netdev notifier. This is a
preparatory work to make the hardware timestamping layer selectable
by user space

- Add transceiver support and improve the error messages for CAN-FD
controllers
