[ Upstream commit 4e096a18867a5a989b510f6999d9c6b6622e8f7b ]

Since 20dd3850bcf8 ("can: Speed up CAN frame receiption by using
ml_priv") the CAN framework uses per device specific data in the AF_CAN
protocol. For this purpose the struct net_device-&gt;ml_priv is used. Later
the ml_priv usage in CAN was extended for other users, one of them being
CAN_J1939.

Later in the kernel ml_priv was converted to an union, used by other
drivers. E.g. the tun driver started storing it's stats pointer.

Since tun devices can claim to be a CAN device, CAN specific protocols
will wrongly interpret this pointer, which will cause system crashes.
Mostly this issue is visible in the CAN_J1939 stack.

To fix this issue, we request a dedicated CAN pointer within the
net_device struct.

<title>net: fix dev_ifsioc_locked() race condition</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4d0ae760c02c98fc78b78d3a0509896bc648ad1c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 3b23a32a63219f51a5298bc55a65ecee866e79d0 upstream.

dev_ifsioc_locked() is called with only RCU read lock, so when
there is a parallel writer changing the mac address, it could
get a partially updated mac address, as shown below:

Thread 1			Thread 2
// eth_commit_mac_addr_change()
memcpy(dev-&gt;dev_addr, addr-&gt;sa_data, ETH_ALEN);
				// dev_ifsioc_locked()
				memcpy(ifr-&gt;ifr_hwaddr.sa_data,
					dev-&gt;dev_addr,...);

Close this race condition by guarding them with a RW semaphore,
like netdev_get_name(). We can not use seqlock here as it does not
allow blocking. The writers already take RTNL anyway, so this does
not affect the slow path. To avoid bothering existing
dev_set_mac_address() callers in drivers, introduce a new wrapper
just for user-facing callers on ioctl and rtnetlink paths.

Note, bonding also changes slave mac addresses but that requires
a separate patch due to the complexity of bonding code.

Fixes: 3710becf8a58 ("net: RCU locking for simple ioctl()")

<title>net: watchdog: hold device global xmit lock during tx disable</title>

<content type='text'>
Prevent netif_tx_disable() running concurrently with dev_watchdog() by
taking the device global xmit lock. Otherwise, the recommended:

	netif_carrier_off(dev);
	netif_tx_disable(dev);

driver shutdown sequence can happen after the watchdog has already
checked carrier, resulting in possible false alarms. This is because
netif_tx_lock() only sets the frozen bit without maintaining the locks
on the individual queues.

<content type='text'>
There are some use cases for netdev_notify_peers in the context
when rtnl lock is already held. Introduce lockless version
of netdev_notify_peers call to save the extra code to call
	call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS, dev);
	call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_RESEND_IGMP, dev);
After that, convert netdev_notify_peers to call the new helper.

<title>net: Introduce preferred busy-polling</title>
<updated>2020-11-30T23:09:25+00:00</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:7fd3253a7de6a317a0683f83739479fb880bffc8</id>
<content type='text'>
The existing busy-polling mode, enabled by the SO_BUSY_POLL socket
option or system-wide using the /proc/sys/net/core/busy_read knob, is
an opportunistic. That means that if the NAPI context is not
scheduled, it will poll it. If, after busy-polling, the budget is
exceeded the busy-polling logic will schedule the NAPI onto the
regular softirq handling.

One implication of the behavior above is that a busy/heavy loaded NAPI
context will never enter/allow for busy-polling. Some applications
prefer that most NAPI processing would be done by busy-polling.

This series adds a new socket option, SO_PREFER_BUSY_POLL, that works
in concert with the napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout
knobs. The napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout knobs were
introduced in commit 6f8b12d661d0 ("net: napi: add hard irqs deferral
feature"), and allows for a user to defer interrupts to be enabled and
instead schedule the NAPI context from a watchdog timer. When a user
enables the SO_PREFER_BUSY_POLL, again with the other knobs enabled,
and the NAPI context is being processed by a softirq, the softirq NAPI
processing will exit early to allow the busy-polling to be performed.

If the application stops performing busy-polling via a system call,
the watchdog timer defined by gro_flush_timeout will timeout, and
regular softirq handling will resume.

In summary; Heavy traffic applications that prefer busy-polling over
softirq processing should use this option.

Example usage:

  $ echo 2 | sudo tee /sys/class/net/ens785f1/napi_defer_hard_irqs
  $ echo 200000 | sudo tee /sys/class/net/ens785f1/gro_flush_timeout

Note that the timeout should be larger than the userspace processing
window, otherwise the watchdog will timeout and fall back to regular
softirq processing.

Enable the SO_BUSY_POLL/SO_PREFER_BUSY_POLL options on your socket.
