Michal reported and bisected an issue after recent adoption
of skb_attempt_defer_free() in UDP.

The issue here is that skb_release_head_state() is called twice per skb,
one time from skb_consume_udp(), then a second time from skb_defer_free_flush()
and napi_consume_skb().

As Sabrina suggested, remove skb_release_head_state() call from
skb_consume_udp().

Add a DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE(skb_nfct(skb)) in skb_attempt_defer_free()

Many thanks to Michal, Sabrina, Paolo and Florian for their help.

Since blamed commit, unregister_netdevice_many_notify() takes the netdev
mutex if the device needs it.

If the device list is too long, this will lock more device mutexes than
lockdep can handle:

unshare -n \
 bash -c 'for i in $(seq 1 100);do ip link add foo$i type dummy;done'

BUG: MAX_LOCK_DEPTH too low!
turning off the locking correctness validator.
depth: 48  max: 48!
48 locks held by kworker/u16:1/69:
 #0: ..148 ((wq_completion)netns){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: process_one_work

[..]

Add a helper to close and then unlock a list of net_devices.
Devices that are not up have to be skipped - netif_close_many always
removes them from the list without any other actions taken, so they'd
remain in locked state.

Close devices whenever we've used up half of the tracking slots or we
processed entire list without hitting the limit.

<content type='text'>
The gro_cell data structure is per-CPU variable and relies on disabled
BH for its locking. Without per-CPU locking in local_bh_disable() on
PREEMPT_RT this data structure requires explicit locking.

Add a local_lock_t to the data structure and use
local_lock_nested_bh() for locking. This change adds only lockdep
coverage and does not alter the functional behaviour for !PREEMPT_RT.

Cilium has a BPF egress gateway feature which forces outgoing K8s Pod
traffic to pass through dedicated egress gateways which then SNAT the
traffic in order to interact with stable IPs outside the cluster.

The traffic is directed to the gateway via vxlan tunnel in collect md
mode. A recent BPF change utilized the bpf_redirect_neigh() helper to
forward packets after the arrival and decap on vxlan, which turned out
over time that the kmalloc-256 slab usage in kernel was ever-increasing.

The issue was that vxlan allocates the metadata_dst object and attaches
it through a fake dst entry to the skb. The latter was never released
though given bpf_redirect_neigh() was merely setting the new dst entry
via skb_dst_set() without dropping an existing one first.

Helge reported that the introduction of PP_MAGIC_MASK let to crashes on
boot on his 32-bit parisc machine. The cause of this is the mask is set
too wide, so the page_pool_page_is_pp() incurs false positives which
crashes the machine.

Just disabling the check in page_pool_is_pp() will lead to the page_pool
code itself malfunctioning; so instead of doing this, this patch changes
the define for PP_DMA_INDEX_BITS to avoid mistaking arbitrary kernel
pointers for page_pool-tagged pages.

The fix relies on the kernel pointers that alias with the pp_magic field
always being above PAGE_OFFSET. With this assumption, we can use the
lowest bit of the value of PAGE_OFFSET as the upper bound of the
PP_DMA_INDEX_MASK, which should avoid the false positives.

Because we cannot rely on PAGE_OFFSET always being a compile-time
constant, nor on it always being &gt;0, we fall back to disabling the
dma_index storage when there are not enough bits available. This leaves
us in the situation we were in before the patch in the Fixes tag, but
only on a subset of architecture configurations. This seems to be the
best we can do until the transition to page types in complete for
page_pool pages.

v2:
- Make sure there's at least 8 bits available and that the PAGE_OFFSET
  bit calculation doesn't wrap

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Improve drop account scalability on NUMA hosts for RAW and UDP
     sockets and the backlog, almost doubling the Pps capacity under DoS

   - Optimize the UDP RX performance under stress, reducing contention,
     revisiting the binary layout of the involved data structs and
     implementing NUMA-aware locking. This improves UDP RX performance
     by an additional 50%, even more under extreme conditions

   - Add support for PSP encryption of TCP connections; this mechanism
     has some similarities with IPsec and TLS, but offers superior HW
     offloads capabilities

   - Ongoing work to support Accurate ECN for TCP. AccECN allows more
     than one congestion notification signal per RTT and is a building
     block for Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S)

   - Reorganize the TCP socket binary layout for data locality, reducing
     the number of touched cachelines in the fastpath

   - Refactor skb deferral free to better scale on large multi-NUMA
     hosts, this improves TCP and UDP RX performances significantly on
     such HW

   - Increase the default socket memory buffer limits from 256K to 4M to
     better fit modern link speeds

   - Improve handling of setups with a large number of nexthop, making
     dump operating scaling linearly and avoiding unneeded
     synchronize_rcu() on delete

   - Improve bridge handling of VLAN FDB, storing a single entry per
     bridge instead of one entry per port; this makes the dump order of
     magnitude faster on large switches

   - Restore IP ID correctly for encapsulated packets at GSO
     segmentation time, allowing GRO to merge packets in more scenarios

   - Improve netfilter matching performance on large sets

   - Improve MPTCP receive path performance by leveraging recently
     introduced core infrastructure (skb deferral free) and adopting
     recent TCP autotuning changes

   - Allow bridges to redirect to a backup port when the bridge port is
     administratively down

   - Introduce MPTCP 'laminar' endpoint that con be used only once per
     connection and simplify common MPTCP setups

   - Add RCU safety to dst-&gt;dev, closing a lot of possible races

     easily building DevMem-enabled drivers with a unified XDP/skbs
     datapath

   - Add a new dedicated ethtool callback enabling drivers to provide
     the number of RX rings directly, improving efficiency and clarity
     in RX ring queries and RSS configuration

     handling of multiple errors due to the same root cause

Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:

 - Support pulling non-linear xdp data with bpf_xdp_pull_data() kfunc
   (Amery Hung)

   Applied as a stable branch in bpf-next and net-next trees.

 - Support reading skb metadata via bpf_dynptr (Jakub Sitnicki)

   Also a stable branch in bpf-next and net-next trees.

 - Enforce expected_attach_type for tailcall compatibility (Daniel
   Borkmann)

 - Replace path-sensitive with path-insensitive live stack analysis in
   the verifier (Eduard Zingerman)

   This is a significant change in the verification logic. More details,
   motivation, long term plans are in the cover letter/merge commit.

 - Support signed BPF programs (KP Singh)

   This is another major feature that took years to materialize.

   Algorithm details are in the cover letter/marge commit

 - Add support for may_goto instruction to s390 JIT (Ilya Leoshkevich)

 - Add support for may_goto instruction to arm64 JIT (Puranjay Mohan)

 - Fix USDT SIB argument handling in libbpf (Jiawei Zhao)

 - Allow uprobe-bpf program to change context registers (Jiri Olsa)

 - Support signed loads from BPF arena (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi and
   Puranjay Mohan)

 - Allow access to union arguments in tracing programs (Leon Hwang)

 - Optimize rcu_read_lock() + migrate_disable() combination where it's
   used in BPF subsystem (Menglong Dong)

 - Introduce bpf_task_work_schedule*() kfuncs to schedule deferred
   execution of BPF callback in the context of a specific task using the
   kernel’s task_work infrastructure (Mykyta Yatsenko)

 - Enforce RCU protection for KF_RCU_PROTECTED kfuncs (Kumar Kartikeya
   Dwivedi)

 - Add stress test for rqspinlock in NMI (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi)

 - Improve the precision of tnum multiplier verifier operation
   (Nandakumar Edamana)

 - Use tnums to improve is_branch_taken() logic (Paul Chaignon)

Instead of sharing sd-&gt;defer_list &amp; sd-&gt;defer_count with
many cpus, add one pair for each NUMA node.
