After forwarding net-next during the v7.3 merge window we started
seeing:

  TRACE EVENT ERROR: Event ice_tx_dim_work has double dereference in TP_printk: REC-&gt;q_vector-&gt;tx.tx_ring-&gt;q_index
  WARNING: kernel/trace/trace_events.c:420 at test_double_dereference.cold+0x39/0x4b

this is due to extra checks added in tracing subsystem in
commit b5cc230af5e5 ("tracing: Warn when an event dereferences a pointer in TP_printk()").

Printing happens long after the event was recorded, by which point
the pointers may be invalid (the ring or the dim instance).
Copy the eight scalars into the event instead.

<content type='text'>
Commit 16dfa49406bc ("ice: Introduce new parameters in ice_sched_node")
added a sched_node_ids xarray to the port info structure, but never called
xa_destroy on it.

Since xarrays can allocate internal memory, this can result in a memory
leak even if every element in the xarray has been removed.

The xarray is currently embedded in the port_info structure. This appears
to have been done because its use is within functions that take the
port_info as a primary argument.

However, this complicates managing the lifecycle of the field. The
port_info structure is allocated in ice_init_hw() using devm, and it is
not released until the devm cleanup when the driver is unloaded.

The ice_init_hw() function is called in many places, including devlink
reload, and possibly during DDP load after updating the Tx scheduler
layout.

Adding a call of xa_destroy to the ice_deinit_hw() causes Sashiko to raise
multiple concerns due to potential ordering issues and possible ways that
port_info could be a dangling reference.

To handle this, move the sched_node_ids out of port_info and into the hw
structure. All users of the array already have a pointer to hw anyways, and
there is only one sched_node_ids per adapter. While here, remove the overly
verbose comment explaining the nature of the sched_node_ids xarray.

Add the missing xa_destroy to the cleanup path and to ice_deinit_hw(),
ensuring that we properly release the xarray memory.

This was caught by Sashiko during development of unrelated code.

While parsing the header of a Receive Side Coalesced (RSC) packet, check
if a VLAN tag is present and adjust the header parsing accordingly.
Otherwise, Rx TCP traffic is completely broken for any VLAN interface
whose underlying interface has RSC (rx-gro-hw) enabled.

We only need to worry about one VLAN header since Rx packets with
multiple VLAN headers are not candidates for RSC.

<content type='text'>
idpf_probe() enables PCIe Precision Time Measurement with
pci_enable_ptm(), which takes a reference on the device and on every
PTM-capable device up the path to the PTM Root.

Neither the probe error path nor idpf_remove() drops that reference, so
the PTM enable counts of this device and of its upstream path stay
elevated with no bound driver, and the device's PTM control bits remain
set. pcim_enable_device() only arranges for pci_disable_device() and
does not undo the PTM enable.

Add the matching pci_disable_ptm() to the common unwind path.
pci_enable_ptm() failure is not fatal here, so guard the call with
pcie_ptm_enabled(): pci_disable_ptm() decrements dev-&gt;ptm_enable_cnt
unconditionally and then recurses upstream, so calling it after a failed
enable would drive this device's count negative and wrongly decrement
parents shared with other endpoints.

This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research
while reviewing kernel code.

<id>urn:sha1:7dd4c829bac2916be98a3e34b41daaba7f42b4c4</id>
<content type='text'>
idpf never drains the Tx/Rx DIM works before freeing the memory they
live in.  tx_dim and rx_dim are embedded in struct idpf_q_vector, they
are queued from the NAPI poll via net_dim(), and idpf_vport_intr_rel()
ends with kfree(rsrc-&gt;q_vectors).  Nothing in the driver cancels them.

idpf_tx_dim_work() and idpf_rx_dim_work() then run on freed memory:
idpf_vport_intr_write_itr() writes the ITR register through
q_vector-&gt;intr_reg.tx_itr / rx_itr, void __iomem pointers loaded out of
the freed q_vector.  No configuration is needed to get there --
IDPF_ITR_IS_DYNAMIC() is defined as (itr_mode) and idpf_vport_alloc()
initialises both modes to IDPF_ITR_DYNAMIC.

Draining after idpf_vport_intr_napi_dis_all() is not enough on its own.
idpf_net_dim() is called from inside the
"if (napi_complete_done(napi, work_done))" branch of the poll, and
napi_complete_done() has already cleared NAPIF_STATE_SCHED by then.
napi_disable_locked() waits only while (val &amp; (NAPIF_STATE_SCHED |
NAPIF_STATE_NPSVC)), so napi_disable() can return while the poll tail is
still queueing the work, and a plain cancel_work_sync() would be
re-armed behind the drain.

Use disable_work_sync(): schedule_work() on a work with a non-zero
disable count is dropped by clear_pending_if_disabled() before
__queue_work() is reached.

Move idpf_init_dim() to idpf_vport_intr_alloc() so the works are
initialised on every path that can reach the drain -- the three
"goto intr_deinit" sites between idpf_vport_intr_init() and
idpf_vport_intr_ena() get there without the enable side having run.
Nothing re-enables them: rsrc-&gt;q_vectors is freed on every exit from
idpf_vport_open() and on every idpf_vport_stop(), so the count dies with
the object.

It is a race, not a deterministic failure -- net_dim() only schedules
once DIM_NEVENTS events have accumulated and the profile index changes.
A KASAN ifup/ifdown loop under load is the way to see it.

This is another run of the Coccinelle script for converting kmalloc()
family of allocations to kmalloc_obj() via the existing rules in
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci

This catches both the set of kmalloc() uses added since the first
kmalloc_obj() conversions in v7.0 and adds a large group missed in the
first pass due to Coccinelle not interacting well with the cleanup.h
scoped_...() family of macros[1]. I worked around this with spatch's
"--macro-file" argument to a file with all the scoped_...() macros mapped
to Coccinelle's YACFE_ITERATOR[2] as that was the closest viable control
flow indicator I could find.

Build tested allmodconfig on x86, arm64, arm, loongarch, mips, powerpc,
riscv, and s390 with no new warnings.

The zero-copy path reads TX metadata whenever the UMEM has metadata space,
even if the descriptor does not set XDP_TX_METADATA. Pass descriptor
options through the metadata helpers and ignore metadata unless the option
is set.

This does not fix the existing per-WQE metadata handling for mlx5 MPWQEs.
Only the descriptor that starts a session passes through
xsk_tx_metadata_request() and configures offload state shared by the batch.
Metadata on descriptors joining an open session is therefore not validated
and does not configure its requested offloads. In addition, a non-NULL
metadata pointer from such a descriptor is treated as a timestamp
completion request even when XDP_TXMD_FLAGS_TIMESTAMP is not set, so its
metadata union can be overwritten with an unrequested timestamp. Fixing
mixed metadata states within one MPWQE requires a separate change.

====================
Introduce iXD driver

Larysa Zaremba says:

This patch series adds the iXD driver, which supports the Intel(R)
Control Plane PCI Function on Intel E2100 and later IPUs and FNICs.
It facilitates a centralized control over multiple IDPF PFs/VFs/SFs
exposed by the same card. The reason for the separation is to be able
to offload the control plane to the host different from where the data
plane is running.

This is the first phase in the release of this driver where we implement the
initialization of the core PCI driver. Subsequent phases will implement
advanced features like usage of idpf ethernet aux device, link management,
NVM update via devlink, switchdev port representors, data and exception path,
flow rule programming, etc.

The first phase entails the following aspects:

1. Additional libie functionalities:
Patches 1-5 introduce additional common library API for drivers to
communicate with the control plane through mailbox communication.
A control queue is a hardware interface which is used by the driver
to interact with other subsystems (like firmware). The library APIs
allow the driver to setup and configure the control queues to send and
receive virtchnl messages. The library has an internal bookkeeping
(XN API) mechanism to keep track of the send messages. It supports both
synchronous as well as asynchronous way of handling the messages. The
library also handles the timeout internally for synchronous messages
using events. This reduces the driver's overhead in handling the timeout
error cases.

The current patch series supports only APIs that are needed for device
initialization. These include APIs in the libie_pci module:
* Allocating/freeing the DMA memory and mapping the MMIO regions for
  BAR0, read/write APIs for drivers to access the MMIO memory

and libie_cp module:
* Control queue initialization and configuration
* Transport initialization for bookkeeping
* Blocking and asynchronous mailbox transactions

Once the mailbox is initialized, the drivers can send and receive virtchnl
messages to/from the control plane.

The modules above are not supposed to be linked with the main libie library,
but do share the folder with it.

2. idpf:
Patches 6-11 refactor the idpf driver to use the libie APIs for control
queue configuration, virtchnl transaction, device initialization
and reset and adjust related code accordingly.

3. ixd:
Patches 12-15 add the ixd driver and implement multiple pieces of the
initialization flow as follows:
* Add the ability to load
* A reset is issued to ensure a clean device state, followed by
  initialization of the mailbox
* Device capabilities:
  As part of initialization, the driver has to determine what the device is
  capable of (ex. max queues, vports, etc). This information is obtained from
  the firmware and stored by the driver.
* Enable initial support for the devlink interface

* '200GbE' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tnguy/next-queue:
  ixd: add devlink support
  ixd: add the core initialization
  ixd: add reset checks and initialize the mailbox
  ixd: add basic driver framework for Intel(R) Control Plane Function
  idpf: print a debug message and bail in case of non-event ctlq message
  idpf: make mbx_task queueing and cancelling more consistent
  idpf: refactor idpf to use libie control queues
  idpf: refactor idpf to use libie_pci APIs
