[ Upstream commit d4c13ab36273a8c318ba06799793cc1f5d9c6fa1 ]

The current implementation in the igb_xsk_wakeup expects
the Rx and Tx queues to share the same irq. This would lead
to triggering of incorrect irq in split irq configuration.
This patch addresses this issue which could impact environments
with 2 active cpu cores
or when the number of queues is reduced to 2 or less

cat /proc/interrupts | grep eno2

 4-edge      eno2-tx-1

Furthermore it uses the flags input argument to trigger either rx, tx or
both rx and tx irqs as specified in the ndo_xsk_wakeup api documentation

<title>treewide: Drop pci_save_state() after pci_restore_state()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fa2274bb17a4a71bb9ca7288d871f6908464207a</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 383d89699c5028de510a6667f674ed38585f77fc upstream.

In 2009, commit c82f63e411f1 ("PCI: check saved state before restore")
changed the behavior of pci_restore_state() such that it became necessary
to call pci_save_state() afterwards, lest recovery from subsequent PCI
errors fails.

The commit has just been reverted and so all the pci_save_state() after
pci_restore_state() calls that have accumulated in the tree are now
superfluous.  Drop them.

Two drivers chose a different approach to achieve the same result:
drivers/scsi/ipr.c and drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/netdev.c set the
pci_dev's "state_saved" flag to true before calling pci_restore_state().
Drop this as well.

<title>igb: use EOPNOTSUPP instead of ENOTSUPP in igb_get_sset_count()</title>

<content type='text'>
igb_get_sset_count() returns -ENOTSUPP when a given stringset is not
supported, causing userland programs to get "Unknown error 524".

Since EOPNOTSUPP should be used when error is propagated to userland,
return -EOPNOTSUPP instead of -ENOTSUPP.

<id>urn:sha1:d709f178abca22a4d3642513df29afe4323a594b</id>
<content type='text'>
The igb driver incorrectly skips the link test when the network
interface is admin down (if_running == false), causing the test to
always report PASS regardless of the actual physical link state.

This behavior is inconsistent with other drivers (e.g. i40e, ice, ixgbe,
etc.) which correctly test the physical link state regardless of admin
state.
Remove the if_running check to ensure link test always reflects the
physical link state.

<id>urn:sha1:75871a525a596ff4d16c4aebc0018f8d0923c9b1</id>
<content type='text'>
The igb driver currently causes a NULL pointer dereference when executing
the ethtool loopback test. This occurs because there is no associated
q_vector for the test ring when it is set up, as interrupts are typically
not added to the test rings.

Since commit 5ef44b3cb43b removed the napi_id assignment in
__xdp_rxq_info_reg(), there is no longer a need to pass a napi_id to it.
Therefore, simply use 0 as the last parameter.

vmalloc_array() is also optimized better, resulting in less instructions

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Wrap datapath globals into net_aligned_data, to avoid false sharing

   - Preserve MSG_ZEROCOPY in forwarding (e.g. out of a container)

   - Add SO_INQ and SCM_INQ support to AF_UNIX

   - Add SIOCINQ support to AF_VSOCK

   - Add TCP_MAXSEG sockopt to MPTCP

   - Add IPv6 force_forwarding sysctl to enable forwarding per interface

   - Make TCP validation of whether packet fully fits in the receive
     window and the rcv_buf more strict. With increased use of HW
     aggregation a single "packet" can be multiple 100s of kB

   - Add MSG_MORE flag to optimize large TCP transmissions via sockmap,
     improves latency up to 33% for sockmap users

   - Convert TCP send queue handling from tasklet to BH workque

   - Improve BPF iteration over TCP sockets to see each socket exactly
     once

   - Remove obsolete and unused TCP RFC3517/RFC6675 loss recovery code

   - Support enabling kernel threads for NAPI processing on per-NAPI
     instance basis rather than a whole device. Fully stop the kernel
     NAPI thread when threaded NAPI gets disabled. Previously thread
     would stick around until ifdown due to tricky synchronization

   - Allow multicast routing to take effect on locally-generated packets

   - Add output interface argument for End.X in segment routing

   - MCTP: add support for gateway routing, improve bind() handling

   - Don't require rtnl_lock when fetching an IPv6 neighbor over Netlink

   - Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid"), which cedes refresh
     responsibilities to userspace. This is needed for EVPN multi-homing
     where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed host needs to be synced
     across all the VTEPs among which the host is multi-homed

   - Support NUD_PERMANENT for proxy neighbor entries

   - Add a new queuing discipline for IETF RFC9332 DualQ Coupled AQM

   - Add sequence numbers to netconsole messages. Unregister
     netconsole's console when all net targets are removed. Code
     refactoring. Add a number of selftests

   - Align IPSec inbound SA lookup to RFC 4301. Only SPI and protocol
     should be used for an inbound SA lookup

   - Support inspecting ref_tracker state via DebugFS

   - Don't force bonding advertisement frames tx to ~333 ms boundaries.
     Add broadcast_neighbor option to send ARP/ND on all bonded links

   - Allow providing upcall pid for the 'execute' command in openvswitch

   - Remove DCCP support from Netfilter's conntrack

   - Disallow multiple packet duplications in the queuing layer

   - Prevent use of deprecated iptables code on PREEMPT_RT

  Driver API:

   - Support RSS and hashing configuration over ethtool Netlink

   - Add dedicated ethtool callbacks for getting and setting hashing
     fields

   - Add support for power budget evaluation strategy in PSE /
     Power-over-Ethernet. Generate Netlink events for overcurrent etc

   - Support DPLL phase offset monitoring across all device inputs.
     Support providing clock reference and SYNC over separate DPLL
     inputs

   - Support traffic classes in devlink rate API for bandwidth
     management

   - Remove rtnl_lock dependency from UDP tunnel port configuration
