Device setup:

     netdevsim0 (down)
     ^        ^
  bond        netdevsim1.100@netdevsim1 allmulticast=on (down)

When we enslave the lower device (netdevsim0) which has a vlan, we
propagate vlan's allmuti/promisc flags during ndo_open. This causes
(re)locking on of the real_dev.

Propagate allmulti/promisc on flags change, not on the open. There
is a slight semantics change that vlans that are down now propagate
the flags, but this seems unlikely to result in the real issues.

Reproducer:

  echo 0 1 &gt; /sys/bus/netdevsim/new_device

  dev_path=$(ls -d /sys/bus/netdevsim/devices/netdevsim0/net/*)
  dev=$(echo $dev_path | rev | cut -d/ -f1 | rev)

  ip link set dev $dev name netdevsim0
  ip link set dev netdevsim0 up

  ip link add link netdevsim0 name netdevsim0.100 type vlan id 100
  ip link set dev netdevsim0.100 allmulticast on down
  ip link add name bond1 type bond mode 802.3ad
  ip link set dev netdevsim0 down
  ip link set dev netdevsim0 master bond1
  ip link set dev bond1 up
  ip link show

[ Upstream commit dacab578c7c6cd06c50c89dfa36b0e0f10decd4e ]

syzbot triggered the following splat [1], sending an empty message
through pppoe_sendmsg().

When VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR flag is set, vlan_dev_hard_header()
does not push extra bytes for the VLAN header, because vlan is offloaded.

Unfortunately vlan_dev_hard_start_xmit() first reads veth-&gt;h_vlan_proto
before testing (vlan-&gt;flags &amp; VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR).

We need to swap the two conditions.

[ Upstream commit 731b73dba359e3ff00517c13aa0daa82b34ff466 ]

Setting timestamp filter was explicitly disabled on vlan devices in
containers because it might affect other processes on the host. But it's
absolutely legit in case when real device is in the same namespace.

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this
subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used.

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()

To make later patches smaller create a helper for inheriting
the TSO limitations of a lower device. The TSO in the name
is not an accident, subsequent patches will replace GSO
with TSO in more names.

This reverts commit d6ff94afd90b0ce8d1715f8ef77d4347d7a7f2c0.

Since commit faab39f63c1f ("net: allow out-of-order netdev unregistration")
fixed the issue in a better way, this patch is to revert the previous fix,
as it might bring back the old problem fixed by commit 563bcbae3ba2 ("net:
vlan: fix a UAF in vlan_dev_real_dev()").

Shuang Li reported an QinQ issue by simply doing:

  # ip link add dummy0 type dummy
  # ip link add link dummy0 name dummy0.1 type vlan id 1
  # ip link add link dummy0.1 name dummy0.1.2 type vlan id 2
  # rmmod 8021q

 unregister_netdevice: waiting for dummy0.1 to become free. Usage count = 1

When rmmods 8021q, all vlan devs are deleted from their real_dev's vlan grp
and added into list_kill by unregister_vlan_dev(). dummy0.1 is unregistered
before dummy0.1.2, as it's using for_each_netdev() in __rtnl_kill_links().

When unregisters dummy0.1, dummy0.1.2 is not unregistered in the event of
NETDEV_UNREGISTER, as it's been deleted from dummy0.1's vlan grp. However,
due to dummy0.1.2 still holding dummy0.1, dummy0.1 will keep waiting in
netdev_wait_allrefs(), while dummy0.1.2 will never get unregistered and
release dummy0.1, as it delays dev_put until calling dev-&gt;priv_destructor,
vlan_dev_free().

This issue was introduced by Commit 563bcbae3ba2 ("net: vlan: fix a UAF in
vlan_dev_real_dev()"), and this patch is to fix it by moving dev_put() into
vlan_dev_uninit(), which is called after NETDEV_UNREGISTER event but before
netdev_wait_allrefs().

This patch is to introduce vlan_dev_free_egress_priority() to
free egress priority for vlan dev, and keep vlan_dev_uninit()
static as .ndo_uninit. It makes the code more clear and safer
when adding new code in vlan_dev_uninit() in the future.
