ibmveth_poll_controller() runs RX replenish outside NAPI and without
a lock, racing NAPI's replenish on another CPU. Both can fill the
same slot, so an skb and its DMA mapping leak and PHYP can write
into an unmapped buffer. netpoll calls it from netconsole and from
netpoll-enabled bonds.
ibmveth_open() also enables NAPI before the RX resources exist.
ibmveth_change_mtu(), veth_pool_store(), ibmveth_set_csum_offload()
and ibmveth_set_tso() call close() and open() directly, so while
open() is still setting up, netpoll and the direct ibmveth_interrupt()
calls can replenish NULL pools and read freed memory.
Remove the callback, as Eric Dumazet did for many drivers after
commit ac3d9dd034e5 ("netpoll: make ndo_poll_controller() optional"),
including ibmvnic in commit 0c3b9d1b37df ("ibmvnic: remove
ndo_poll_controller"). netpoll then polls NAPI itself with budget 0.
napi->poll_owner serializes that with NAPI, but not with a NAPI poll
that was already running when netpoll was set up, so skip RX
replenish at budget 0, which netpoll uses for TX only. TX completes
synchronously, so ibmveth_poll() has nothing else to do for netpoll.
Enable NAPI just before request_irq(), once everything
ibmveth_poll() touches exists.
Found by AI-assisted review of the ibmveth multi-queue RX series and
confirmed by code inspection of poll_one_napi() and the direct
close()/open() callers; neither race was reproduced. Tested on a POWER10
LPAR with netconsole over ibmveth: a ping flood (678,470 packets, no
loss) during a printk flood, and MTU changes and buffer pool toggles
under traffic, with no warnings. No kernel selftests cover ibmveth.
Fixes: 6b4223748895 ("[PATCH] ibmveth: Add netpoll function")
Fixes: bea3348eef27 ("[NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.")

Changes in v2:
- skip RX replenish when ibmveth_poll() runs with budget 0:
napi->poll_owner does not serialize netpoll with a NAPI poll
that was already running when netpoll was set up

ibmveth_change_mtu(), veth_pool_store(), ibmveth_set_csum_offload()
and ibmveth_set_tso() call close() and open() directly. If open() fails,
NAPI is left disabled while IFF_UP stays set, so the next close()
(ifdown, unregister or another reconfiguration) calls napi_disable()
again and waits forever with RTNL held. Networking and shutdown
hang; only a reboot recovers. ethtool -L in that state also wakes
queues that have no TX buffer and dereferences NULL in
ibmveth_start_xmit().
Any open() failure on those paths triggers it, for example an
allocation failure on an MTU change to jumbo frames.
Track a successful open in adapter->opened. close() returns early
when it is clear, and set_channels() checks it instead of IFF_UP.
The open() error-path leaks were fixed separately in net by
commit af0524bf4ce1 ("ibmveth: h_free logical LAN on open-fail after
register") and commit 84bec0bf0352 ("ibmveth: fix TX LTB and filter
unwind on open-fail"), which are now in net-next too, so a failed
open() no longer leaves TX buffers or the logical LAN registration
behind for the early return to skip.
Found by AI-assisted review of the ibmveth multi-queue RX series and
confirmed by code inspection. Tested on a POWER10 LPAR with
ibmveth_open() forced to fail by a test-only module parameter (not part
of this patch): 'ip link set dev eth1 mtu 9000' fails, then 'ip link set
dev eth1 down' returns at once and 'ip link set dev eth1 up' recovers
the interface. No kernel selftests cover ibmveth.

ibmveth_remove() cancels the reset work before unregister_netdev(),
but NAPI keeps running until unregister closes the device and can
queue the reset again, on an interrupt enable failure, a bad
free_map entry or a bad RX slot. The reset can then run on the
adapter after free_netdev(), or reopen the device during unregister.
Use disable_work_sync(), which waits for a running reset and keeps
the work from being queued again. A bad RX slot also makes poll
spin, which can stall unregister; a later patch in this series
fixes that.
Found by AI-assisted review of the ibmveth multi-queue RX series and
confirmed by code inspection; it was not reproduced. Tested on a POWER10
LPAR with unbind and bind cycles under traffic. No kernel selftests
cover ibmveth.

ibmveth_poll() mishandles a bad RX correlator from PHYP in two ways.
If harvest fails or ibmveth_rxq_get_buffer() returns NULL, poll
breaks out without advancing the ring and restarts on the same slot
forever. For an out-of-range correlator it also fires a WARN_ON() and
schedules a reset each pass, but the reset is queued on that CPU and
never runs, and the CPU stalls RCU, so RTNL holders hang too. This
dates from the first commit in Fixes:, which turned the BUG_ON()s
here into WARN_ON() plus a reset.
The range check also accepts a correlator naming an inactive buffer
pool (pools 2 and 3 by default), whose skbuff array is NULL, so the
lookup dereferences NULL in softirq. Pools became inactive with the
second commit in Fixes:.
Validate the correlator in one helper that also rejects a pool with
no skbuff array. On a bad slot, advance the ring, count the drop in
rx_dropped and still schedule the reset, which rebuilds the pools.
The slot has moved, so stay in the budget loop and count it in
frames_processed. Breaking out would complete NAPI, re-arm, and
napi_schedule() with budget left. When the final check finds more
work, queue the NAPI and return instead of going back to
restart_poll: after napi_complete_done() the NAPI is no longer this
call's, and with threaded NAPI and busy polling the kthread can
already be polling it on another CPU. frames_processed is below
budget there, so busy_poll_stop() does not queue it a second time.
Mask the interrupt before queueing, as ibmveth_interrupt() does;
masking after napi_schedule() could land after that kthread has
finished and unmasked, leaving RX masked with nothing scheduled.
Drop a frame whose offset + length does not fit the pool buffer:
copybreak would read past the RX buffer and skb_put() would BUG().
Also drop one shorter than an Ethernet header, which eth_type_trans()
would read past. Read the correlator once per slot and use that value
for the lookup, the bound and the harvest.
The base driver never checked frame bounds, and they have not been
seen in the field, so they have no Fixes: tag of their own. The tags
below are for the correlator hang.
The correlator comes from PHYP, and with the ring advancing a burst
of bad slots would WARN once per slot (and panic with
panic_on_warn), so use a ratelimited netdev_err() instead. Also free
the rx_copybreak skb if harvest fails there.
Add a KUnit case for harvest advancing on errors and extend the
existing cases to an inactive pool. Run against the unfixed driver,
with the calls changed back to its signatures, the first fails and
the others oops.
Found by AI-assisted review of the ibmveth multi-queue RX series (the
frame bound by the Sashiko review of v2 of this series) and confirmed
by code inspection and the KUnit cases above. Hitting either
correlator bug needs PHYP to return a bad correlator, so neither was
reproduced on hardware. Tested with KUnit on qemu pseries (ppc64le),
and on a POWER10 LPAR with a ping flood and MTU changes under traffic.
No kernel selftests cover ibmveth.

Changes in v4:
- after the final check finds more work, queue the NAPI and return,
instead of going back to restart_poll; drop the budget - 1
return (Sashiko review of v3: threaded NAPI with busy polling)
- mask the interrupt before queueing the NAPI, as the interrupt
handler does, so a threaded NAPI cannot unmask first (found while
reviewing the above)
- pass the correlator that poll read to harvest, instead of reading
the ring entry again (Sashiko review of v3)
- the message no longer claims the frame bound protects the checksum
helpers (Sashiko review of v3), and gives the Ethernet header
minimum its own reason; the helper checks are patch 9
Changes in v3:
- after a bad slot, keep polling and count the slot against the NAPI
budget instead of breaking out with budget left; once poll has
rescheduled itself, return budget - 1 so busy_poll_stop() cannot
queue the NAPI a second time (Sashiko review of v2)
- drop a frame whose offset + length does not fit its pool buffer
(Sashiko review of v2, pre-existing) or that is shorter than an
Ethernet header
- read the correlator once and pass it to ibmveth_rxq_get_buffer(),
so the buffer bound uses the validated pool
Changes in v2:
- count rx_dropped when recycling an invalid buffer fails

If register_netdev() fails in ibmveth_probe(), for example with -EINTR
when the binding task is killed, probe frees the netdev but leaves the
pool%d kobjects embedded in it registered in sysfs. Reading
/sys/devices/vio/<unit>/pool0/num is then a use-after-free, and the
next probe cannot add pool0.
Put the kobjects before freeing the netdev, as ibmveth_remove() does,
on this path and on the netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() one.
The kobjects also have no release(). With CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE,
kobject_put() defers their cleanup, including removing the sysfs files,
to a work item, so free_netdev() can free them first, here and in
remove(). Add a release() that signals a per-pool completion, and wait
for it in both places before free_netdev(). Without that config,
release() runs from kobject_put() and the wait returns at once.
Found by AI-assisted review of the ibmveth multi-queue RX series and
confirmed by code inspection; the release() part was raised by the
Sashiko AI review of the first version. Tested on a POWER10 LPAR with
register_netdev() forced to fail with -EINTR by a test-only module
parameter (not part of this patch): no pool%d directories remain and the
device binds again. No kernel selftests cover ibmveth.
Fixes: 860f242eb534 ("[PATCH] ibmveth change buffer pools dynamically")

Changes in v2:
- give the pool kobjects a release() that signals a per-pool
completion, and wait for it before free_netdev() in probe and
remove(); with CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE the deferred cleanup
could run after the free (Sashiko review of v1)
- put the kobjects through one helper, ibmveth_put_pool_kobjs(),
and an err_put_pools label for both probe failure paths

When ibmveth_set_channels() cannot allocate a TX buffer for a new
queue, it falls back to the old queue count, and the successful
netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() call then overwrites rc. ethtool -L
reports success while the queue count is unchanged.
Return the allocation error when the fallback succeeds.
Found by AI-assisted review of the ibmveth multi-queue RX series and
confirmed by code inspection. Tested on a POWER10 LPAR with the TX
buffer allocation forced to fail by a test-only module parameter (not
part of this patch): ethtool -L tx 8 now fails with -ENOMEM and the
device keeps its four queues and passes traffic. No kernel selftests
cover ibmveth.

ibmveth_close() frees the TX buffers after netif_tx_stop_all_queues(),
which does not wait for an ibmveth_start_xmit() already running on
another CPU. That transmit can copy into a freed buffer and hand PHYP
a stale DMA address.
MTU, csum/TSO and buffer pool changes call ibmveth_close() directly
while traffic flows. ifdown and the reset work go through dev_close(),
which waits for running transmits only when the qdisc has an enqueue
function, so with noqueue they race the same way.
Use netif_tx_disable(), which waits for running transmits.
Found by AI-assisted review of the ibmveth multi-queue RX series and
confirmed by code inspection; the race was not reproduced. Tested on a
POWER10 LPAR with MTU changes during a ping flood, with no warnings. No
kernel selftests cover ibmveth.

napi_disable() returns once ibmveth_poll() has called
napi_complete_done(), but the poll is not finished: it then re-enables
the interrupt and calls ibmveth_rxq_pending_buffer(), which reads the
RX queue. ibmveth_close() can free that queue in the meantime, and the
late enable can leave the interrupt unmasked after close() masked it.
The request_irq() failure path in ibmveth_open() frees the same memory
after napi_disable() too.
Call synchronize_net() after napi_disable() on both paths. Every
caller of ibmveth_poll() runs it with bottom halves or interrupts
disabled, so this waits for the poll to return.
Found by AI-assisted review of the ibmveth multi-queue RX series and
confirmed by code inspection; also raised by the Sashiko AI review of
the first version of this series. The race was not reproduced. Tested
on a POWER10 LPAR under an incoming ping flood with 30 rapid link
down/up cycles and 30 rapid MTU cycles (1500 <-> 9000); ran cleanly
with no warnings or faults. No kernel selftests cover ibmveth.

ibmveth_rx_mss_helper() and ibmveth_rx_csum_helper() trust the IP and
TCP headers of received frames, which come from another partition on
the virtual LAN.
The worst case is an IPv4 frame with ihl 0 and iph->check 0xffff: the
checksum helper calls ip_fast_csum(iph, 0), and the ppc64 version
loops ihl - 1 times on an unsigned count, reading up to 16 GiB in
softirq: a long stall, or an oops once the read leaves mapped memory.
Both helpers also read and write header fields past the end of a short
frame. The large send helper takes the segment size from the TCP
checksum field and gso_segs from a TCP header length it never checks,
and treats an IPv4 TCP fragment as a large send, which can zero two of
its bytes; the checksum helper can write a checksum into a later
fragment's payload.
The ihl problem dates from the first commit in Fixes:, the large send
helper from the second, and the checksum helper from the third.
Before using a header, check that it fits the frame, that the IPv4 ihl
is at least 5, and that an IPv4 TCP frame is not a fragment. In the
large send helper, also require a TCP doff of at least 5 and TCP
payload within the IP length, the length the stack trims the frame to,
so Ethernet padding does not count; compute gso_segs from the IP
length; and keep the segment size at or above TCP_MIN_GSO_SIZE, as
virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() does since
commit c27c449d455a ("virtio-net: Ensure that TCP packets don't
overflow gso_segs"),
and below GSO_BY_FRAGS, which virtio rejects. With the headers checked
and gso_segs computed, the skb is not marked SKB_GSO_DODGY, which
would also keep it from hardware TSO on the egress device.
A frame that fails a check is passed up without the GSO fields or
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, so the stack checks it. The skb is linear, so
the checks use skb_headlen(); pskb_may_pull() could reallocate the
head under the helpers' header pointers.
Add KUnit cases for both helpers: valid IPv4 and IPv6 large sends, the
segment size clamp, and refused frames. With any one of the ihl, doff,
IP length, fragment or clamp checks, or the checksum helper's IPv4
options, IPv6 header or TCP header length checks, removed, a case
fails; without the checksum helper's ihl check, ip_fast_csum() oopses
on qemu.
Found by the Sashiko AI review of the previous version of this series
and by AI-assisted review, and confirmed by code inspection and the
KUnit cases above. Tested with KUnit on qemu pseries (ppc64le) and on
a POWER10 LPAR with iperf3 large sends over IPv4 and IPv6 at MTU 1500
and 9000, threaded NAPI and busy polling, with no new drops or
InCsumErrors. No kernel selftests cover ibmveth.

Fixes: 7b5967389f5a ("ibmveth: set correct gso_size and gso_type")
