Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

rds_notify_queue_get() is potentially copying uninitialized kernel stack
memory to userspace since the compiler may leave a 4-byte hole at the end
of `cmsg`.
In 2016 we tried to fix this issue by doing `= { 0 };` on `cmsg`, which
unfortunately does not always initialize that 4-byte hole. Fix it by using
memset() instead.

The function invokes bpf_prog_inc(), which increases the reference
count of a bpf_prog object "rq->xdp_prog" if the object isn't NULL.
The refcount leak issues take place in two error handling paths. When
either mlx5_wq_ll_create() or mlx5_wq_cyc_create() fails, the function
simply returns the error code and forgets to drop the reference count
increased earlier, causing a reference count leak of "rq->xdp_prog".
Fix this issue by jumping to the error handling path err_rq_wq_destroy
while either function fails.

The flow_source must be specified, even for rule without matching
source vport, because some actions are only allowed in uplink.
Otherwise, rule can't be offloaded and firmware syndrome happens.

We observed two panics involving races with igb_reset_task.
The first panic is caused by this race condition:
kworker reboot -f
igb_reset_task
igb_reinit_locked
igb_down
napi_synchronize
__igb_shutdown
igb_clear_interrupt_scheme
igb_free_q_vectors
igb_free_q_vector
adapter->q_vector[v_idx] = NULL;
napi_disable
Panics trying to access
adapter->q_vector[v_idx].napi_state
The second panic (a divide error) is caused by this race:
kworker reboot -f tx packet
igb_reset_task
__igb_shutdown
rtnl_lock()
...
igb_clear_interrupt_scheme
igb_free_q_vectors
adapter->num_tx_queues = 0
...
rtnl_unlock()
rtnl_lock()
igb_reinit_locked
igb_down
igb_up
netif_tx_start_all_queues
dev_hard_start_xmit
igb_xmit_frame
igb_tx_queue_mapping
Panics on
r_idx % adapter->num_tx_queues
This commit applies to igb_reset_task the same changes that
were applied to ixgbe in commit 2f90b8657ec9 ("ixgbe: this patch
adds support for DCB to the kernel and ixgbe driver"),
commit 8f4c5c9fb87a ("ixgbe: reinit_locked() should be called with
rtnl_lock") and commit 88adce4ea8f9 ("ixgbe: fix possible race in

The modified flow_context fields in FTE must be indicated in
modify_enable bitmask. Previously, the misc bit in modify_enable is
always set as source vport must be set for each rule. So, when parsing
vxlan/gre/geneve/qinq rules, this bit is not set because those are all
from the same misc fileds that source vport fields are located at, and
we don't need to set the indicator twice.
After adding per vport tables for mirroring, misc bit is not set, then
firmware syndrome happens. To fix it, set the bit wherever misc fileds
are changed. This also makes it unnecessary to check misc fields and set
the misc bit accordingly in metadata matching, so here remove it.
Besides, flow_source must be specified for uplink because firmware
will check it and some actions are only allowed for packets received
from uplink.

This warning can trigger if there is a mismatch between frames that were
sent with the sta pointer set vs tx status frames reported for the sta address.
This can happen due to race conditions on re-creating stations, or even
in the case of .sta_add/remove being used instead of .sta_state, which can cause
frames to be sent to a station that has not been uploaded yet.
If there is an actual underflow issue, it should show up in the device airtime
warning below, so it is better to remove this one.
