Pull networking fixes from Paolo Abeni:
 "Including fixes from netfiler, xfrm and bluetooth.

  Oddly this includes a fix for a posix clock regression; in our
  previous PR we included a change there as a pre-requisite for
  networking one. That fix proved to be buggy and requires the follow-up
  included here. Thomas suggested we should send it, given we sent the
  buggy patch.

  Current release - regressions:

   - posix-clock: Fix unbalanced locking in pc_clock_settime()

   - netfilter: fix typo causing some targets not to load on IPv6

  Current release - new code bugs:

   - xfrm: policy: remove last remnants of pernet inexact list

  Previous releases - regressions:

   - core: fix races in netdev_tx_sent_queue()/dev_watchdog()

   - bluetooth: fix UAF on sco_sock_timeout

   - eth: hv_netvsc: fix VF namespace also in synthetic NIC
     NETDEV_REGISTER event

   - eth: usbnet: fix name regression

   - eth: be2net: fix potential memory leak in be_xmit()

   - eth: plip: fix transmit path breakage

  Previous releases - always broken:

   - sched: deny mismatched skip_sw/skip_hw flags for actions created by
     classifiers

   - netfilter: bpf: must hold reference on net namespace

   - eth: virtio_net: fix integer overflow in stats

   - eth: bnxt_en: replace ptp_lock with irqsave variant

   - eth: octeon_ep: add SKB allocation failures handling in
     __octep_oq_process_rx()

  Misc:

   - MAINTAINERS: add Simon as an official reviewer"

If get_clock_desc() succeeds, it calls fget() for the clockid's fd,
and get the clk-&gt;rwsem read lock, so the error path should release
the lock to make the lock balance and fput the clockid's fd to make
the refcount balance and release the fd related resource.

However the below commit left the error path locked behind resulting in
unbalanced locking. Check timespec64_valid_strict() before
get_clock_desc() to fix it, because the "ts" is not changed
after that.

As Andrew pointed out, it will make sense that the PTP core
checked timespec64 struct's tv_sec and tv_nsec range before calling
ptp-&gt;info-&gt;settime64().

As the man manual of clock_settime() said, if tp.tv_sec is negative or
tp.tv_nsec is outside the range [0..999,999,999], it should return EINVAL,
which include dynamic clocks which handles PTP clock, and the condition is
consistent with timespec64_valid(). As Thomas suggested, timespec64_valid()
only check the timespec is valid, but not ensure that the time is
in a valid range, so check it ahead using timespec64_valid_strict()
in pc_clock_settime() and return -EINVAL if not valid.

There are some drivers that use tp-&gt;tv_sec and tp-&gt;tv_nsec directly to
write registers without validity checks and assume that the higher layer
has checked it, which is dangerous and will benefit from this, such as
hclge_ptp_settime(), igb_ptp_settime_i210(), _rcar_gen4_ptp_settime(),
and some drivers can remove the checks of itself.

Sean noted that ever since commit 152e11f6df29 ("sched/fair: Implement
delayed dequeue") KVM's preemption notifiers have started
mis-classifying preemption vs blocking.

Notably p-&gt;on_rq is no longer sufficient to determine if a task is
runnable or blocked -- the aforementioned commit introduces tasks that
remain on the runqueue even through they will not run again, and
should be considered blocked for many cases.

Add the task_is_runnable() helper to classify things and audit all
external users of the p-&gt;on_rq state. Also add a few comments.

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441
("fs: remove no_llseek")

To quote that commit,

  At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek -

  git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
	sed -i '/\&lt;no_llseek\&gt;/d' $i
  done

  would do it.

Unfortunately, that hadn't been done.  Linus, could you do that now, so
that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the
form
	.llseek = no_llseek,
so it's obviously safe.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Implement the SCHED_DEADLINE server infrastructure - Daniel Bristot
   de Oliveira's last major contribution to the kernel:

     "SCHED_DEADLINE servers can help fixing starvation issues of low
      priority tasks (e.g., SCHED_OTHER) when higher priority tasks
      monopolize CPU cycles. Today we have RT Throttling; DEADLINE
      servers should be able to replace and improve that."

   (Daniel Bristot de Oliveira, Peter Zijlstra, Joel Fernandes, Youssef
   Esmat, Huang Shijie)

 - Preparatory changes for sched_ext integration:
     - Use set_next_task(.first) where required
     - Fix up set_next_task() implementations
     - Clean up DL server vs. core sched
     - Split up put_prev_task_balance()
     - Rework pick_next_task()
     - Combine the last put_prev_task() and the first set_next_task()
     - Rework dl_server
     - Add put_prev_task(.next)

   (Peter Zijlstra, with a fix by Tejun Heo)

 - Complete the EEVDF transition and refine EEVDF scheduling:
     - Implement delayed dequeue
     - Allow shorter slices to wakeup-preempt
     - Use sched_attr::sched_runtime to set request/slice suggestion
     - Document the new feature flags
     - Remove unused and duplicate-functionality fields
     - Simplify &amp; unify pick_next_task_fair()
     - Misc debuggability enhancements

   (Peter Zijlstra, with fixes/cleanups by Dietmar Eggemann, Valentin
   Schneider and Chuyi Zhou)

 - Initialize the vruntime of a new task when it is first enqueued,
   resulting in significant decrease in latency of newly woken tasks
   (Zhang Qiao)

 - Introduce SM_IDLE and an idle re-entry fast-path in __schedule()
   (K Prateek Nayak, Peter Zijlstra)

 - Clean up and clarify the usage of Clean up usage of rt_task()
   (Qais Yousef)

 - Preempt SCHED_IDLE entities in strict cgroup hierarchies
   (Tianchen Ding)

 - Clarify the documentation of time units for deadline scheduler
   parameters (Christian Loehle)

 - Remove the HZ_BW chicken-bit feature flag introduced a year ago,
   the original change seems to be working fine (Phil Auld)

 - Misc fixes and cleanups (Chen Yu, Dan Carpenter, Huang Shijie,
   Peilin He, Qais Yousefm and Vincent Guittot)

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Core:

   - Overhaul of posix-timers in preparation of removing the workaround
     for periodic timers which have signal delivery ignored.

   - Remove the historical extra jiffie in msleep()

     msleep() adds an extra jiffie to the timeout value to ensure
     minimal sleep time. The timer wheel ensures minimal sleep time
     since the large rewrite to a non-cascading wheel, but the extra
     jiffie in msleep() remained unnoticed. Remove it.

   - Make the timer slack handling correct for realtime tasks.

     The procfs interface is inconsistent and does neither reflect
     reality nor conforms to the man page. Show the correct 0 slack for
     real time tasks and enforce it at the core level instead of having
     inconsistent individual checks in various timer setup functions.

   - The usual set of updates and enhancements all over the place.

   - Allow the ACPI PM timer to be turned off during suspend

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Core:

   - Remove a global lock in the affinity setting code

     The lock protects a cpumask for intermediate results and the lock
     causes a bottleneck on simultaneous start of multiple virtual

     cpumask which is nicely serialized by raw spinlock held when
     executing this code.

   - Provide support for giving a suffix to interrupt domain names.
