[ Upstream commit 038ebb1a713d114d54dbf14868a73181c0c92758 ]

When openvswitch conntrack offload with act_ct action. Fragment packets
defrag in the ingress tc act_ct action and miss the next chain. Then the
packet pass to the openvswitch datapath without the mru. The over
mtu packet will be dropped in output action in openvswitch for over mtu.

"kernel: net2: dropped over-mtu packet: 1528 &gt; 1500"

This patch add mru in the tc_skb_ext for adefrag and miss next chain
situation. And also add mru in the qdisc_skb_cb. The act_ct set the mru
to the qdisc_skb_cb when the packet defrag. And When the chain miss,
The mru is set to tc_skb_ext which can be got by ovs datapath.

commit 08b5d5014a27e717826999ad20e394a8811aae92 upstream.

set/removexattr on an exported filesystem should break NFS delegations.
This is true in general, but also for the upcoming support for
RFC 8726 (NFSv4 extended attribute support). Make sure that they do.

Additionally, they need to grow a _locked variant, since callers might
call this with i_rwsem held (like the NFS server code).

<title>random32: move the pseudo-random 32-bit definitions to prandom.h</title>

commit c0842fbc1b18c7a044e6ff3e8fa78bfa822c7d1a upstream.

The addition of percpu.h to the list of includes in random.h revealed
some circular dependencies on arm64 and possibly other platforms.  This
include was added solely for the pseudo-random definitions, which have
nothing to do with the rest of the definitions in this file but are
still there for legacy reasons.

This patch moves the pseudo-random parts to linux/prandom.h and the
percpu.h include with it, which is now guarded by _LINUX_PRANDOM_H and
protected against recursive inclusion.

A further cleanup step would be to remove this from &lt;linux/random.h&gt;
entirely, and make people who use the prandom infrastructure include
just the new header file.  That's a bit of a churn patch, but grepping
for "prandom_" and "next_pseudo_random32" "struct rnd_state" should
catch most users.

But it turns out that that nice cleanup step is fairly painful, because
a _lot_ of code currently seems to depend on the implicit include of
&lt;linux/random.h&gt;, which can currently come in a lot of ways, including
such fairly core headfers as &lt;linux/net.h&gt;.

So the "nice cleanup" part may or may never happen.

commit 83bdc7275e6206f560d247be856bceba3e1ed8f2 upstream.

It turns out that the plugin right now ends up being really unhappy
about the change from 'static' to 'extern' storage that happened in
commit f227e3ec3b5c ("random32: update the net random state on interrupt
and activity").

This is probably a trivial fix for the latent_entropy plugin, but for
now, just remove net_rand_state from the list of things the plugin
worries about.

commit 1c9df907da83812e4f33b59d3d142c864d9da57f upstream.

Daniel Díaz and Kees Cook independently reported that commit
f227e3ec3b5c ("random32: update the net random state on interrupt and
activity") broke arm64 due to a circular dependency on include files
since the addition of percpu.h in random.h.

The correct fix would definitely be to move all the prandom32 stuff out
of random.h but for backporting, a smaller solution is preferred.

This one replaces linux/percpu.h with asm/percpu.h, and this fixes the
problem on x86_64, arm64, arm, and mips.  Note that moving percpu.h
around didn't change anything and that removing it entirely broke
differently.  When backporting, such options might still be considered
if this patch fails to help.

[ It turns out that an alternate fix seems to be to just remove the
  troublesome &lt;asm/pointer_auth.h&gt; remove from the arm64 &lt;asm/smp.h&gt;
  that causes the circular dependency.

  But we might as well do the whole belt-and-suspenders thing, and
  minimize inclusion in &lt;linux/random.h&gt; too. Either will fix the
  problem, and both are good changes.   - Linus ]

commit f227e3ec3b5cad859ad15666874405e8c1bbc1d4 upstream.

This modifies the first 32 bits out of the 128 bits of a random CPU's
net_rand_state on interrupt or CPU activity to complicate remote
observations that could lead to guessing the network RNG's internal
state.

Note that depending on some network devices' interrupt rate moderation
or binding, this re-seeding might happen on every packet or even almost
never.

In addition, with NOHZ some CPUs might not even get timer interrupts,
leaving their local state rarely updated, while they are running
networked processes making use of the random state.  For this reason, we
also perform this update in update_process_times() in order to at least
update the state when there is user or system activity, since it's the
only case we care about.

<title>rhashtable: Fix unprotected RCU dereference in __rht_ptr</title>

[ Upstream commit 1748f6a2cbc4694523f16da1c892b59861045b9d ]

The rcu_dereference call in rht_ptr_rcu is completely bogus because
we've already dereferenced the value in __rht_ptr and operated on it.
This causes potential double readings which could be fatal.  The RCU
dereference must occur prior to the comparison in __rht_ptr.

This patch changes the order of RCU dereference so that it is done
first and the result is then fed to __rht_ptr.  The RCU marking
changes have been minimised using casts which will be removed in
a follow-up patch.

we've already dereferenced the value in __rht_ptr and operated on it.
This causes potential double readings which could be fatal.  The RCU
dereference must occur prior to the comparison in __rht_ptr.

This patch changes the order of RCU dereference so that it is done
first and the result is then fed to __rht_ptr.  The RCU marking
changes have been minimised using casts which will be removed in
a follow-up patch.

[ Upstream commit 7d0314b11cdd92bca8b89684c06953bf114605fc ]

When setting the PF interface up/down, notify the firmware to update
uplink state via MODIFY_VPORT_STATE, when E-Switch is enabled.

This behavior will prevent sending traffic out on uplink port when PF is
down, such as sending traffic from a VF interface which is still up.
Currently when calling mlx5e_open/close(), the driver only sends PAOS
command to notify the firmware to set the physical port state to
up/down, however, it is not sufficient. When VF is in "auto" state, it
follows the uplink state, which was not updated on mlx5e_open/close()
before this patch.

When switchdev mode is enabled and uplink representor is first enabled,
set the uplink port state value back to its FW default "AUTO".

[ Upstream commit 76be93fc0702322179bb0ea87295d820ee46ad14 ]

Previously TLP may send multiple probes of new data in one
flight. This happens when the sender is cwnd limited. After the
initial TLP containing new data is sent, the sender receives another
ACK that acks partial inflight.  It may re-arm another TLP timer
to send more, if no further ACK returns before the next TLP timeout
(PTO) expires. The sender may send in theory a large amount of TLP
until send queue is depleted. This only happens if the sender sees
such irregular uncommon ACK pattern. But it is generally undesirable
behavior during congestion especially.

The original TLP design restrict only one TLP probe per inflight as
published in "Reducing Web Latency: the Virtue of Gentle Aggression",
SIGCOMM 2013. This patch changes TLP to send at most one probe
per inflight.

Note that if the sender is app-limited, TLP retransmits old data
and did not have this issue.
