<content type='text'>
In the current version, the matchall internal state is split into two
structs: cls_matchall_head and cls_matchall_filter. This makes little
sense, as matchall instance supports only one filter, and there is no
situation where one exists and the other does not. In addition, that led
to some races when filter was deleted while packet was processed.

Unify that two structs into one, thus simplifying the process of matchall
creation and deletion. As a result, the new, delete and get callbacks have
a dummy implementation where all the work is done in destroy and change
callbacks, as was done in cls_cgroup.

<title>net/sched: cls_flower: Correct matching on ICMPv6 code</title>

<content type='text'>
When matching on the ICMPv6 code ICMPV6_CODE rather than
ICMPV4_CODE attributes should be used.

This corrects what appears to be a typo.

Sample usage:

tc qdisc add dev eth0 ingress
tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ipv6 parent ffff: flower \
	indev eth0 ip_proto icmpv6 type 128 code 0 action drop

Without this change the code parameter above is effectively ignored.

... bug 1 above: reference is two.
    Reference is actually 1 but we forget to subtract 1.

... do a GET again and we see the same issue

$ sudo $TC filter add dev lo parent ffff: protocol ip prio 1 \

<title>bpf: rework prog_digest into prog_tag</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit 7bd509e311f4 ("bpf: add prog_digest and expose it via
fdinfo/netlink") was recently discussed, partially due to
admittedly suboptimal name of "prog_digest" in combination
with sha1 hash usage, thus inevitably and rightfully concerns
about its security in terms of collision resistance were
raised with regards to use-cases.

The intended use cases are for debugging resp. introspection
only for providing a stable "tag" over the instruction sequence
that both kernel and user space can calculate independently.
It's not usable at all for making a security relevant decision.
So collisions where two different instruction sequences generate
the same tag can happen, but ideally at a rather low rate. The
"tag" will be dumped in hex and is short enough to introspect
in tracepoints or kallsyms output along with other data such
as stack trace, etc. Thus, this patch performs a rename into
prog_tag and truncates the tag to a short output (64 bits) to
make it obvious it's not collision-free.

Should in future a hash or facility be needed with a security
relevant focus, then we can think about requirements, constraints,
etc that would fit to that situation. For now, rework the exposed
parts for the current use cases as long as nothing has been
released yet. Tested on x86_64 and s390x.

<content type='text'>
Since we now use a non zero mask on addr_type, we are matching on its
value (IPV4/IPV6). So before this fix, matching on enc_src_ip/enc_dst_ip
failed in SW/classify path since its value was zero.
This patch sets the proper value of addr_type for encapsulated packets.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Various ipvlan fixes from Eric Dumazet and Mahesh Bandewar.

    The most important is to not assume the packet is RX just because
    the destination address matches that of the device. Such an
    assumption causes problems when an interface is put into loopback
    mode.

 2) If we retry when creating a new tc entry (because we dropped the
    RTNL mutex in order to load a module, for example) we end up with
    -EAGAIN and then loop trying to replay the request. But we didn't
    reset some state when looping back to the top like this, and if
    another thread meanwhile inserted the same tc entry we were trying
    to, we re-link it creating an enless loop in the tc chain. Fix from
    Daniel Borkmann.

 3) There are two different WRITE bits in the MDIO address register for
    the stmmac chip, depending upon the chip variant. Due to a bug we
    could set them both, fix from Hock Leong Kweh.

 4) Fix mlx4 bug in XDP_TX handling, from Tariq Toukan.

Shahar reported a soft lockup in tc_classify(), where we run into an
endless loop when walking the classifier chain due to tp-&gt;next == tp
which is a state we should never run into. The issue only seems to
trigger under load in the tc control path.

What happens is that in tc_ctl_tfilter(), thread A allocates a new
tp, initializes it, sets tp_created to 1, and calls into tp-&gt;ops-&gt;change()
with it. In that classifier callback we had to unlock/lock the rtnl
mutex and returned with -EAGAIN. One reason why we need to drop there
is, for example, that we need to request an action module to be loaded.

This happens via tcf_exts_validate() -&gt; tcf_action_init/_1() meaning
after we loaded and found the requested action, we need to redo the
whole request so we don't race against others. While we had to unlock
rtnl in that time, thread B's request was processed next on that CPU.
Thread B added a new tp instance successfully to the classifier chain.
When thread A returned grabbing the rtnl mutex again, propagating -EAGAIN
and destroying its tp instance which never got linked, we goto replay
and redo A's request.

This time when walking the classifier chain in tc_ctl_tfilter() for
checking for existing tp instances we had a priority match and found
the tp instance that was created and linked by thread B. Now calling
again into tp-&gt;ops-&gt;change() with that tp was successful and returned
without error.

tp_created was never cleared in the second round, thus kernel thinks
that we need to link it into the classifier chain (once again). tp and
*back point to the same object due to the match we had earlier on. Thus
for thread B's already public tp, we reset tp-&gt;next to tp itself and
link it into the chain, which eventually causes the mentioned endless
loop in tc_classify() once a packet hits the data path.

Fix is to clear tp_created at the beginning of each request, also when
we replay it. On the paths that can cause -EAGAIN we already destroy
the original tp instance we had and on replay we really need to start
from scratch. It seems that this issue was first introduced in commit
12186be7d2e1 ("net_cls: fix unconfigured struct tcf_proto keeps chaining
and avoid kernel panic when we use cls_cgroup").

<title>ktime: Cleanup ktime_set() usage</title>

ktime_set(S,N) was required for the timespec storage type and is still
useful for situations where a Seconds and Nanoseconds part of a time value
needs to be converted. For anything where the Seconds argument is 0, this
is pointless and can be replaced with a simple assignment.

<title>ktime: Get rid of the union</title>

ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in
scalar nanoseconds on 64 bit machine and in a endianess optimized timespec
variant for 32bit machines. The Y2038 cleanup removed the timespec variant
and switched everything to scalar nanoseconds. The union remained, but
become completely pointless.

Get rid of the union and just keep ktime_t as simple typedef of type s64.

The conversion was done with coccinelle and some manual mopping up.

When matching on flags, we should require the user to provide the
mask and avoid using an all-ones mask. Not doing so causes matching
on flags provided w.o mask to hit on the value being unset for all
flags, which may not what the user wanted to happen.
