As explained in commit 316580b69d0a ("u64_stats: provide u64_stats_t type")
we should use u64_stats_t and related accessors to avoid load/store tearing.

Add READ_ONCE() when reading rx_errors &amp; tx_dropped.

Netdev reference helpers have a dev_ prefix for historic
reasons. Renaming the old helpers would be too much churn
but we can rename the tracking ones which are relatively
recent and should be the default for new code.

Rename:
 dev_hold_track()    -&gt; netdev_hold()
 dev_put_track()     -&gt; netdev_put()
 dev_replace_track() -&gt; netdev_ref_replace()

<title>macvlan: Fix leaking skb in source mode with nodst option</title>

<content type='text'>
The MACVLAN receive handler clones skbs to all matching source MACVLAN
interfaces, before it passes the packet along to match on destination
based MACVLANs.

When using the MACVLAN nodst mode, passing the packet to destination based
MACVLANs is omitted and the handler returns with RX_HANDLER_CONSUMED.
However, the passed skb is not freed, leaking for any packet processed
with the nodst option.

Properly free the skb when consuming packets to fix that leak.

<content type='text'>
Add the reference operation to lowerdev of macvlan to avoid
the potential UAF problem under the following known scenario:

Someone module puts the NETDEV_UNREGISTER event handler to a
work, and lowerdev is accessed in the work handler. But when
the work is excuted, lowerdev has been destroyed because upper
macvlan did not get reference to lowerdev correctly.

That likes as the scenario occurred by
commit 563bcbae3ba2 ("net: vlan: fix a UAF in vlan_dev_real_dev()").

<title>net: add per-cpu storage and net-&gt;core_stats</title>

<id>625788b5844511cf4c30cffa7fa0bc3a69cebc82</id>
<content type='text'>
Before adding yet another possibly contended atomic_long_t,
it is time to add per-cpu storage for existing ones:
 dev-&gt;tx_dropped, dev-&gt;rx_dropped, and dev-&gt;rx_nohandler

Because many devices do not have to increment such counters,
allocate the per-cpu storage on demand, so that dev_get_stats()
does not have to spend considerable time folding zero counters.

Note that some drivers have abused these counters which
were supposed to be only used by core networking stack.

v4: should use per_cpu_ptr() in dev_get_stats() (Jakub)
v3: added a READ_ONCE() in netdev_core_stats_alloc() (Paolo)
v2: add a missing include (reported by kernel test robot &lt;lkp@intel.com&gt;)
    Change in netdev_core_stats_alloc() (Jakub)

<id>baebdf48c360080710f80699eea3affbb13d6c65</id>
<content type='text'>
Dave suggested a while ago (eleven years by now) "Let's make netif_rx()
work in all contexts and get rid of netif_rx_ni()". Eric agreed and
pointed out that modern devices should use netif_receive_skb() to avoid
the overhead.
In the meantime someone added another variant, netif_rx_any_context(),
which behaves as suggested.

netif_rx() must be invoked with disabled bottom halves to ensure that
pending softirqs, which were raised within the function, are handled.
netif_rx_ni() can be invoked only from process context (bottom halves
must be enabled) because the function handles pending softirqs without
checking if bottom halves were disabled or not.
netif_rx_any_context() invokes on the former functions by checking
in_interrupts().

netif_rx() could be taught to handle both cases (disabled and enabled
bottom halves) by simply disabling bottom halves while invoking
netif_rx_internal(). The local_bh_enable() invocation will then invoke
pending softirqs only if the BH-disable counter drops to zero.

Eric is concerned about the overhead of BH-disable+enable especially in
regard to the loopback driver. As critical as this driver is, it will
receive a shortcut to avoid the additional overhead which is not needed.

Add a local_bh_disable() section in netif_rx() to ensure softirqs are
handled if needed.
Provide __netif_rx() which does not disable BH and has a lockdep assert
to ensure that interrupts are disabled. Use this shortcut in the
loopback driver and in drivers/net/*.c.
Make netif_rx_ni() and netif_rx_any_context() invoke netif_rx() so they
can be removed once they are no more users left.
