[ Upstream commit a699781c79ecf6cfe67fb00a0331b4088c7c8466 ]

A sysfs reader can race with a device reset or removal, attempting to
read device state when the device is not actually present. eg:

     [exception RIP: qed_get_current_link+17]
  #8 [ffffb9e4f2907c48] qede_get_link_ksettings at ffffffffc07a994a [qede]

 #17 [ffffb9e4f2907f38] do_syscall_64 at ffffffff98a052fb

 crash&gt; struct net_device.state ffff9a9d21336000
    state = 5,

state 5 is __LINK_STATE_START (0b1) and __LINK_STATE_NOCARRIER (0b100).
The device is not present, note lack of __LINK_STATE_PRESENT (0b10).

This is the same sort of panic as observed in commit 4224cfd7fb65
("net-sysfs: add check for netdevice being present to speed_show").

There are many other callers of __ethtool_get_link_ksettings() which
don't have a device presence check.

Move this check into ethtool to protect all callers.

[ Upstream commit 004d138364fd10dd5ff8ceb54cfdc2d792a7b338 ]

operstate_show() can omit dev_base_lock acquisition only
to read dev-&gt;operstate.

Annotate accesses to dev-&gt;operstate.

Writers still acquire dev_base_lock for mutual exclusion.

Follow the advice of the Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.rst and show()
should only use sysfs_emit() or sysfs_emit_at() when formatting the value
to be returned to user space.

<content type='text'>
dev_isalive() is called under RTNL or dev_base_lock protection.

This means that changes to dev-&gt;reg_state should be done with both locks held.

syzbot reported:

<content type='text'>
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>net: wrap the wireless pointers in struct net_device in an ifdef</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c304eddcecfe2513ff98ce3ae97d1c196d82ba08</id>
<content type='text'>
Most protocol-specific pointers in struct net_device are under
a respective ifdef. Wireless is the notable exception. Since
there's a sizable number of custom-built kernels for datacenter
workloads which don't build wireless it seems reasonable to
ifdefy those pointers as well.

While at it move IPv4 and IPv6 pointers up, those are special
for obvious reasons.

<title>net: extract a few internals from netdevice.h</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6264f58ca0e54e41d63c2d00334a48bac28fbf30</id>
<content type='text'>
There's a number of functions and static variables used
under net/core/ but not from the outside. We currently
dump most of them into netdevice.h. That bad for many
reasons:
 - netdevice.h is very cluttered, hard to figure out
   what the APIs are;
 - netdevice.h is very long;
 - we have to touch netdevice.h more which causes expensive
   incremental builds.

Create a header under net/core/ and move some declarations.

The new header is also a bit of a catch-all but that's
fine, if we create more specific headers people will
likely over-think where their declaration fit best.
And end up putting them in netdevice.h, again.

More work should be done on splitting netdevice.h into more
targeted headers, but that'd be more time consuming so small
steps.
