<id>urn:sha1:59d3efd27c11c59b32291e5ebc307bed2edb65ee</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<title>net: openvswitch: fix race on port output</title>

<id>urn:sha1:066b86787fa3d97b7aefb5ac0a99a22dad2d15f8</id>

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-&gt;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.

dev_kfree_skb() is aliased to consume_skb().

When a driver is dropping a packet by calling dev_kfree_skb_any()
we should propagate the drop reason instead of pretending
the packet was consumed.

Note: Now we have enum skb_drop_reason we could remove
enum skb_free_reason (for linux-6.4)

v2: added an unlikely(), suggested by Yunsheng Lin.

kfree_skb() includes the location, it makes sense
to add it to consume_skb() as well.

Cited commit changed devlink to register its netdev notifier block on
the global netdev notifier chain instead of on the per network namespace
one.

However, when changing the network namespace of the devlink instance,
devlink still tries to unregister its notifier block from the chain of
the old namespace and register it on the chain of the new namespace.
This results in corruption of the notifier chains, as the same notifier
block is registered on two different chains: The global one and the per
network namespace one. In turn, this causes other problems such as the
inability to dismantle namespaces due to netdev reference count issues.

Fix by preventing devlink from moving its notifier block between
namespaces.

Reproducer:

 # echo "10 1" &gt; /sys/bus/netdevsim/new_device
 # ip netns add test123
 # devlink dev reload netdevsim/netdevsim10 netns test123
 # ip netns del test123
 [   71.935619] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 2
 [   71.938348] leaked reference.

<title>net/core: refactor promiscuous mode message</title>

The kernel stack can be more consistent by printing the IFF_PROMISC
aka promiscuous enable/disable messages with the standard netdev_info
message which can include bus and driver info as well as the device.

typical command usage from user space looks like:
ip link set eth0 promisc &lt;on|off&gt;

But lots of utilities such as bridge, tcpdump, etc put the interface into
promiscuous mode.

old message:
[  406.034418] device eth0 entered promiscuous mode
[  408.424703] device eth0 left promiscuous mode

new message:
[  406.034431] ice 0000:17:00.0 eth0: entered promiscuous mode
[  408.424715] ice 0000:17:00.0 eth0: left promiscuous mode

<title>net/core: print message for allmulticast</title>

<id>urn:sha1:802dcbd6f30feaa7c96a1fb4ecb1db57082df9d7</id>
<content type='text'>
When the user sets or clears the IFF_ALLMULTI flag in the netdev, there are
no log messages printed to the kernel log to indicate anything happened.
This is inexplicably different from most other dev-&gt;flags changes, and
could suprise the user.

Typically this occurs from user-space when a user:
ip link set eth0 allmulticast &lt;on|off&gt;

However, other devices like bridge set allmulticast as well, and many
other flows might trigger entry into allmulticast as well.

The new message uses the standard netdev_info print and looks like:
[  413.246110] ixgbe 0000:17:00.0 eth0: entered allmulticast mode
[  415.977184] ixgbe 0000:17:00.0 eth0: left allmulticast mode

<title>net: Fix unwanted sign extension in netdev_stats_to_stats64()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9b55d3f0a69af649c62cbc2633e6d695bb3cc583</id>
<content type='text'>
When converting net_device_stats to rtnl_link_stats64 sign extension
is triggered on ILP32 machines as 6c1c509778 changed the previous
"ulong -&gt; u64" conversion to "long -&gt; u64" by accessing the
net_device_stats fields through a (signed) atomic_long_t.

This causes for example the received bytes counter to jump to 16EiB after
having received 2^31 bytes. Casting the atomic value to "unsigned long"
beforehand converting it into u64 avoids this.

We've added 96 non-merge commits during the last 14 day(s) which contain
a total of 152 files changed, 4884 insertions(+), 962 deletions(-).

There is a minor conflict in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_main.c
between commit 5b246e533d01 ("ice: split probe into smaller functions")
from the net-next tree and commit 66c0e13ad236 ("drivers: net: turn on
XDP features") from the bpf-next tree. Remove the hunk given ice_cfg_netdev()
is otherwise there a 2nd time, and add XDP features to the existing
ice_cfg_netdev() one:

        [...]
        ice_set_netdev_features(netdev);
        netdev-&gt;xdp_features = NETDEV_XDP_ACT_BASIC | NETDEV_XDP_ACT_REDIRECT |
                               NETDEV_XDP_ACT_XSK_ZEROCOPY;
        ice_set_ops(netdev);
        [...]
