[ Upstream commit 09f979d1f312627b31d2ee1e46f9692e442610cd ]

In mvpp2_ethtool_cls_rule_ins(), the ethtool_rule is allocated by
ethtool_rx_flow_rule_create(). If the subsequent conversion to flow
type fails, the function jumps to the clean_rule label.

However, the clean_rule label only frees efs, skipping the cleanup
of ethtool_rule, which leads to a memory leak.

Fix this by jumping to the clean_eth_rule label, which properly calls
ethtool_rx_flow_rule_destroy() before freeing efs.

Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool
and code review.

<id>urn:sha1:3ea308da69b1a0848828e95eb5d514873f3a5249</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for hardware timestamps in (e.g.) the PHY by calling
skb_tx_timestamp() as close as reasonably possible to the point that
the hardware is instructed to send the queued packets.

As this also introduces software timestamping support, report those
capabilities via the .get_ts_info() method.

<id>urn:sha1:3c9ff6eb2de5d06a4cebaa46bf4bbbab491e9110</id>
<content type='text'>
New timestamping API was introduced in commit 66f7223039c0 ("net: add
NDOs for configuring hardware timestamping") from kernel v6.6. It is
time to convert the mvpp2 driver to the new API, so that the
ndo_eth_ioctl() path can be removed completely.

Note that on the !port-&gt;hwtstamp condition, the old code used to fall
through in mvpp2_ioctl(), and return either -ENOTSUPP if !port-&gt;phylink,
or -EOPNOTSUPP, in phylink_mii_ioctl(). Keep the test for port-&gt;hwtstamp
in the newly introduced net_device_ops, but consolidate the error code
to just -EOPNOTSUPP. The other one is documented as NFS-specific, it's
best to avoid it anyway.

<title>net: mvpp2: Prevent parser TCAM memory corruption</title>

<id>urn:sha1:96844075226b49af25a69a1d084b648ec2d9b08d</id>
<content type='text'>
Protect the parser TCAM/SRAM memory, and the cached (shadow) SRAM
information, from concurrent modifications.

Both the TCAM and SRAM tables are indirectly accessed by configuring
an index register that selects the row to read or write to. This means
that operations must be atomic in order to, e.g., avoid spreading
writes across multiple rows. Since the shadow SRAM array is used to
find free rows in the hardware table, it must also be protected in
order to avoid TOCTOU errors where multiple cores allocate the same
row.

This issue was detected in a situation where `mvpp2_set_rx_mode()` ran
concurrently on two CPUs. In this particular case the
MVPP2_PE_MAC_UC_PROMISCUOUS entry was corrupted, causing the
classifier unit to drop all incoming unicast - indicated by the
`rx_classifier_drops` counter.

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

   - Continue Netlink conversions to per-namespace RTNL lock
     (IPv4 routing, routing rules, routing next hops, ARP ioctls)

   - Continue extending the use of netdev instance locks. As a driver
     opt-in protect queue operations and (in due course) ethtool
     operations with the instance lock and not RTNL lock.

   - Support collecting TCP timestamps (data submitted, sent, acked) in
     BPF, allowing for transparent (to the application) and lower
     overhead tracking of TCP RPC performance.

   - Tweak existing networking Rx zero-copy infra to support zero-copy
     Rx via io_uring.

   - Optimize MPTCP performance in single subflow mode by 29%.

   - Enable GRO on packets which went thru XDP CPU redirect (were queued
     for processing on a different CPU). Improving TCP stream
     performance up to 2x.

   - Improve performance of contended connect() by 200% by searching for
     an available 4-tuple under RCU rather than a spin lock. Bring an
     additional 229% improvement by tweaking hash distribution.

   - Avoid unconditionally touching sk_tsflags on RX, improving
     performance under UDP flood by as much as 10%.

   - Avoid skb_clone() dance in ping_rcv() to improve performance under
     ping flood.

   - Avoid FIB lookup in netfilter if socket is available, 20% perf win.

   - Rework network device creation (in-kernel) API to more clearly
     identify network namespaces and their roles. There are up to 4
     namespace roles but we used to have just 2 netns pointer arguments,
     interpreted differently based on context.

   - Use sysfs_break_active_protection() instead of trylock to avoid
     deadlocks between unregistering objects and sysfs access.

   - Add a new sysctl and sockopt for capping max retransmit timeout in
     TCP.

   - Support masking port and DSCP in routing rule matches.

   - Support dumping IPv4 multicast addresses with RTM_GETMULTICAST.

   - Support specifying at what time packet should be sent on AF_XDP
     sockets.

   - Expose TCP ULP diagnostic info (for TLS and MPTCP) to non-admin
     users.

   - Add Netlink YAML spec for WiFi (nl80211) and conntrack.

   - Introduce EXPORT_IPV6_MOD() and EXPORT_IPV6_MOD_GPL() for symbols
     which only need to be exported when IPv6 support is built as a
     module.

   - Age FDB entries based on Rx not Tx traffic in VxLAN, similar to
     normal bridging.

   - Allow users to specify source port range for GENEVE tunnels.

   - netconsole: allow attaching kernel release, CPU ID and task name to
     messages as metadata

  Driver API:

   - Continue rework / fixing of Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) across
     the SW layers. Delegate the responsibilities to phylink where
     possible. Improve its handling in phylib.

   - Support symmetric OR-XOR RSS hashing algorithm.

   - Support tracking and preserving IRQ affinity by NAPI itself.

Pull timer cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A treewide hrtimer timer cleanup

  hrtimers are initialized with hrtimer_init() and a subsequent store to
  the callback pointer. This turned out to be suboptimal for the
  upcoming Rust integration and is obviously a silly implementation to
  begin with.

  This cleanup replaces the hrtimer_init(T); T-&gt;function = cb; sequence
  with hrtimer_setup(T, cb);

  The conversion was done with Coccinelle and a few manual fixups.

  Once the conversion has completely landed in mainline, hrtimer_init()
  will be removed and the hrtimer::function becomes a private member"

Set metadata size building the skb from xdp_buff in mvpp2 driver
mvpp2 driver sets xdp headroom to:

MVPP2_MH_SIZE + MVPP2_SKB_HEADROOM

where

MVPP2_MH_SIZE 2
MVPP2_SKB_HEADROOM min(max(XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM, NET_SKB_PAD), 224)

so the headroom is large enough to contain xdp_frame and xdp metadata.
Please note this patch is just compiled tested.
