[ Upstream commit ea5fe6a73ca57e5150b8a38b341aef2636eb72f0 ]

The arguments to list_splice_init() in handshake_net_exit() are
reversed. The call moves the local empty "requests" list onto
hn-&gt;hn_requests, leaving the local list empty, so the subsequent
drain loop runs zero iterations. Pending handshake requests that
had not yet been accepted are not torn down when the net namespace
is destroyed; each one keeps a reference on a socket file and on
the handshake_req allocation.

Pass the source and destination in the documented order
(list_splice_init(list, head) moves list onto head) so the pending
list is transferred to the local scratch list and drained through
handshake_complete().

Fixing the splice direction exposes a list-corruption race. After
the splice each req-&gt;hr_list still has non-empty link pointers,
threading the stack-local scratch list rather than hn_requests.
A concurrent handshake_req_cancel() -- for example, from sunrpc's
TLS timeout on a kernel socket whose netns reference was not
taken -- finds the request through the rhashtable, calls
remove_pending(), and sees !list_empty(&amp;req-&gt;hr_list).
__remove_pending_locked() then list_del_init()s an entry off the
scratch list while the drain iterates, corrupting it. The same
call arriving after the drain loop has run list_del() on an
entry hits LIST_POISON instead.

Have remove_pending() check HANDSHAKE_F_NET_DRAINING under
hn_lock and report not-found when drain is in progress. The
drain has already taken ownership; handshake_complete()'s existing
test_and_set on HANDSHAKE_F_REQ_COMPLETED still arbitrates
between drain and cancel for who calls the consumer's hp_done. Use
list_del_init() rather than list_del() in the drain so req-&gt;hr_list
does not carry LIST_POISON after drain releases the entry.

The DRAINING guard in remove_pending() makes cancel return false,
but cancel still falls through to test_and_set_bit on
HANDSHAKE_F_REQ_COMPLETED and drops the request's hr_file reference.
Without another pin, if that is the last reference, sk_destruct frees
the request while it is still linked on the drain loop's local list.
Pin each request's hr_file under hn_lock before releasing the list,
and drop that drain pin after the loop finishes with the request.

[ Upstream commit 09dba37eee70d0596e26645015f1aa95a9848e9d ]

handshake_nl_accept_doit() needs the file pointer backing
req-&gt;hr_sk-&gt;sk_socket to survive the window between
handshake_req_next() and the subsequent FD_PREPARE() and get_file().
The submit-side sock_hold() does not provide that.  sk_refcnt keeps
struct sock alive, but struct socket is owned by sock-&gt;file: when
the consumer fputs the last file reference, sock_release() tears
the socket down regardless of any sock_hold.

Add an hr_file pointer to struct handshake_req and acquire an
explicit reference on sock-&gt;file during handshake_req_submit().
handshake_complete() and handshake_req_cancel() release the
reference on the completion-bit-winning path.

The submit error path must also release the file reference, but
after rhashtable insertion a concurrent handshake_req_cancel() can
discover the request and race the error path.  Gate the error-path
cleanup -- sk_destruct restoration, fput, and request destruction
-- with test_and_set_bit(HANDSHAKE_F_REQ_COMPLETED), the same
serialization handshake_complete() and handshake_req_cancel()
already use.  When cancel has already claimed ownership, the submit
error path returns without touching the request; socket teardown
handles final destruction.

The accept-side dereferences are not yet retargeted; that change
comes in the next patch.

[ Upstream commit f4251190e58b209999c1ba9e6d2976136a1be055 ]

handshake_req_next() removes the request from the per-net
pending list and drops hn_lock before handshake_nl_accept_doit()
reads req-&gt;hr_sk-&gt;sk_socket and dereferences sock-&gt;file (once in
FD_PREPARE() and again in get_file()).  In that window a
consumer running tls_handshake_cancel() followed by sockfd_put()
(svc_sock_free) or __fput_sync() (xs_reset_transport) releases
sock-&gt;file.  sock_release() then runs sock_orphan(), zeroing
sk_socket, and frees the struct socket.  The accept-side code
either reads NULL through sk_socket or chases freed memory.

The submit-side sock_hold() does not prevent this.  sk_refcnt
protects struct sock, but struct socket and sock-&gt;file are
independently refcounted via the file descriptor the consumer
owns.  Pinning sk leaves sock and sock-&gt;file unprotected.

Retarget the accept-side dereferences at req-&gt;hr_file, which was
pinned at submit time, instead of req-&gt;hr_sk-&gt;sk_socket-&gt;file.
Pinning on its own is not sufficient: a consumer that cancels
between handshake_req_next() returning and accept_doit reaching
FD_PREPARE() takes the !remove_pending() branch in
handshake_req_cancel() and drops hr_file before the accept side
takes its own reference.  Hand off an additional file reference
inside handshake_req_next(), under hn_lock, so the accept side
operates on a reference that no concurrent handshake_req_cancel()
can revoke.  FD_PREPARE() consumes that handed-off reference,
either by transferring it to the new fd in fd_publish() or by
dropping it in the cleanup destructor on error; the explicit
get_file() that previously balanced FD_PREPARE() is therefore
redundant and goes away.

Update handshake_req_cancel_test2 and _test3 to simulate the
FD_PREPARE() consumption with an fput() so the kunit file-count
assertions stay balanced.

<title>net/handshake: Pass negative errno through handshake_complete()</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 6b22d433aa13f68e3cd9534ca9a5f4277bfa01c2 ]

handshake_complete() declares status as unsigned int and
tls_handshake_done() negates that value (-status) before handing
it to the TLS consumer. Consumers match on negative errno
constants -- xs_tls_handshake_done() has

	switch (status) {
	case 0:
	case -EACCES:
	case -ETIMEDOUT:
		lower_transport-&gt;xprt_err = status;
		break;
	default:
		lower_transport-&gt;xprt_err = -EACCES;
	}

so the API as designed expects callers to pass positive errno
values that the tlshd shim then negates.

Three internal callers in handshake_nl_accept_doit(), the
net-exit drain, and a kunit test follow kernel convention and
pass negative errnos -- -EIO, -ETIMEDOUT, -ETIMEDOUT. The
implicit conversion to unsigned int turns -ETIMEDOUT into
0xFFFFFF92; the subsequent -status in tls_handshake_done()
wraps back to 110, the consumer's switch falls through, and
the xprt reports -EACCES on what should be -ETIMEDOUT or -EIO.

Fix the API rather than the call sites. The natural kernel
convention is negative errno in, negative errno out. Change
handshake_complete() and hp_done to take int status, drop the
negation in tls_handshake_done(), and negate once in
handshake_nl_done_doit() where status arrives from the wire
as an unsigned netlink attribute. The three internal callers
were already correct under that convention and need no change.

At the same wire boundary, declare MAX_ERRNO as the netlink
policy upper bound for HANDSHAKE_A_DONE_STATUS. Attribute
validation rejects out-of-range values before
handshake_nl_done_doit() runs, and negating a bounded u32 there
stays within int range -- closing the UBSAN-visible signed-
integer overflow that an unconstrained u32 would invoke.

[ Upstream commit cc993e0927ec8bd98ea33377ada03295fcda0f24 ]

nvmet_tcp_state_change(), a socket callback that runs in BH context,
can reach handshake_req_cancel() via nvmet_tcp_schedule_release_queue()
and tls_handshake_cancel().  handshake_req_cancel() acquires
hn-&gt;hn_lock with plain spin_lock().  If a process-context thread on
the same CPU holds hn-&gt;hn_lock when a softirq invokes the cancel path,
the lock attempt deadlocks.  This is the only caller that invokes
tls_handshake_cancel() from BH context; every other consumer calls it
from process context.

Deferring the cancel to process context in the NVMe target is not
straightforward: nvmet_tcp_schedule_release_queue() must call
tls_handshake_cancel() atomically with its state transition to
DISCONNECTING.  If the cancel were deferred, the handshake completion
callback could fire in the window before the cancel runs, observe the
unexpected state, and return without dropping its kref on the queue.
Reworking that interlock is considerably more invasive than hardening
the handshake lock.  Convert all hn-&gt;hn_lock acquisitions from
spin_lock/spin_unlock to spin_lock_bh/spin_unlock_bh so the lock is
never taken with softirqs enabled.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

When a handshake request is cancelled it is removed from the
handshake_net-&gt;hn_requests list, but it is still present in the
handshake_rhashtbl until it is destroyed.

If a second cancellation request arrives for the same handshake request,
then remove_pending() will return false... and assuming
HANDSHAKE_F_REQ_COMPLETED isn't set in req-&gt;hr_flags, we'll continue
processing through the out_true label, where we put another reference on
the sock and a refcount underflow occurs.

This can happen for example if a handshake times out - particularly if
the SUNRPC client sends the AUTH_TLS probe to the server but doesn't
follow it up with the ClientHello due to a problem with tlshd.  When the
timeout is hit on the server, the server will send a FIN, which triggers
a cancellation request via xs_reset_transport().  When the timeout is
hit on the client, another cancellation request happens via
xs_tls_handshake_sync().

Add a test_and_set_bit(HANDSHAKE_F_REQ_COMPLETED) in the pending cancel
path so duplicate cancels can be detected.

returns early and the original destructor never runs, leaking the socket.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Replace busylock at the Tx queuing layer with a lockless list.

     Resulting in a 300% (4x) improvement on heavy TX workloads, sending
     twice the number of packets per second, for half the cpu cycles.

   - Allow constantly busy flows to migrate to a more suitable CPU/NIC
     queue.

     Normally we perform queue re-selection when flow comes out of idle,
     but under extreme circumstances the flows may be constantly busy.

     Add sysctl to allow periodic rehashing even if it'd risk packet
     reordering.

   - Optimize the NAPI skb cache, make it larger, use it in more paths.

   - Attempt returning Tx skbs to the originating CPU (like we already
     did for Rx skbs).

   - Various data structure layout and prefetch optimizations from Eric.

   - Remove ktime_get() from the recvmsg() fast path, ktime_get() is
     sadly quite expensive on recent AMD machines.

   - Extend threaded NAPI polling to allow the kthread busy poll for
     packets.

   - Make MPTCP use Rx backlog processing. This lowers the lock
     pressure, improving the Rx performance.

   - Support memcg accounting of MPTCP socket memory.

   - Allow admin to opt sockets out of global protocol memory accounting
     (using a sysctl or BPF-based policy). The global limits are a poor
     fit for modern container workloads, where limits are imposed using
     cgroups.

   - Improve heuristics for when to kick off AF_UNIX garbage collection.

   - Allow users to control TCP SACK compression, and default to 33% of
     RTT.

   - Add tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl to let datacenter users avoid
     unnecessarily aggressive rcvbuf growth and overshot when the
     connection RTT is low.

   - Preserve skb metadata space across skb_push / skb_pull operations.

   - Support for IPIP encapsulation in the nftables flowtable offload.

   - Support appending IP interface information to ICMP messages (RFC
     5837).

   - Support setting max record size in TLS (RFC 8449).

   - Remove taking rtnl_lock from RTM_GETNEIGHTBL and RTM_SETNEIGHTBL.

   - Use a dedicated lock (and RCU) in MPLS, instead of rtnl_lock.

   - Let users configure the number of write buffers in SMC.

   - Add new struct sockaddr_unsized for sockaddr of unknown length,
     from Kees.

   - Some conversions away from the crypto_ahash API, from Eric Biggers.

   - Some preparations for slimming down struct page.

   - YAML Netlink protocol spec for WireGuard.

   - Add a tool on top of YAML Netlink specs/lib for reporting commonly
     computed derived statistics and summarized system state.

  Driver API:

   - Add CAN XL support to the CAN Netlink interface.

   - Add uAPI for reporting PHY Mean Square Error (MSE) diagnostics, as
     defined by the OPEN Alliance's "Advanced diagnostic features for
     100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHYs" specification.

   - Add DPLL phase-adjust-gran pin attribute (and implement it in
     zl3073x).

   - Refactor xfrm_input lock to reduce contention when NIC offloads
     IPsec and performs RSS.

   - Add info to devlink params whether the current setting is the
     default or a user override. Allow resetting back to default.

   - Add standard device stats for PSP crypto offload.

   - Leverage DSA frame broadcast to implement simple HSR frame
     duplication for a lot of switches without dedicated HSR offload.

   - Add uAPI defines for 1.6Tbps link modes.

  Device drivers:

   - Add Motorcomm YT921x gigabit Ethernet switch support.

   - Add MUCSE driver for N500/N210 1GbE NIC series.

   - Convert drivers to support dedicated ops for timestamping control,
     and away from the direct IOCTL handling. While at it support GET
     operations for PHY timestamping.

   - Add (and convert most drivers to) a dedicated ethtool callback for
     reading the Rx ring count.

   - Significant refactoring efforts in the STMMAC driver, which
     supports Synopsys turn-key MAC IP integrated into a ton of SoCs.
