If vport flags do not contain VIRTCHNL2_VPORT_ENABLE_RDMA, driver does not
allocate vdev_info for this vport. This leads to kernel NULL pointer
dereference in idpf_idc_vport_dev_down(), which references vdev_info for
every vport regardless.
Check, if vdev_info was ever allocated before unplugging aux device.

The HW only supports a maximum Rx buffer size of 16K-128. On systems
using large pages, the libeth logic can configure the buffer size to be
larger than this. The upper bound is PAGE_SIZE while the lower bound is
MTU rounded up to the nearest power of 2. For example, ARM systems with
a 64K page size and an mtu of 9000 will set the Rx buffer size to 16K,
which will cause the config Rx queues message to fail.
Initialize the bufq/fill queue buf_len field to the maximum supported
size. This will trigger the libeth logic to cap the maximum Rx buffer
size by reducing the upper bound.

During soft reset, the RSS LUT is freed and not restored unless the
interface is up. If an ethtool command that accesses the rss lut is
attempted immediately after reset, it will result in NULL ptr
dereference. Also, there is no need to reset the rss lut if the soft reset
does not involve queue count change.
After soft reset, set the RSS LUT to default values based on the updated
queue count only if the reset was a result of a queue count change and
the LUT was not configured by the user. In all other cases, don't touch
the LUT.
Steps to reproduce:
** Bring the interface down (if up)
ifconfig eth1 down
** update the queue count (eg., 27->20)
ethtool -L eth1 combined 20
** display the RSS LUT
ethtool -x eth1

The RSS LUT is not initialized until the interface comes up, causing
the following NULL pointer crash when ethtool operations like rxhash on/off
are performed before the interface is brought up for the first time.
Move RSS LUT initialization from ndo_open to vport creation to ensure LUT
is always available. This enables RSS configuration via ethtool before
bringing the interface up. Simplify LUT management by maintaining all
changes in the driver's soft copy and programming zeros to the indirection
table when rxhash is disabled. Defer HW programming until the interface
comes up if it is down during rxhash and LUT configuration changes.
Steps to reproduce:
** Load idpf driver; interfaces will be created
modprobe idpf
** Before bringing the interfaces up, turn rxhash off
ethtool -K eth2 rxhash off

When ethtool -n is executed on an interface to display the flow steering
rules, "rxclass: Unknown flow type" error is generated.
The flow steering list maintained in the driver currently stores only the
location and q_index but other fields of the ethtool_rx_flow_spec are not
stored. This may be enough for the virtchnl command to delete the entry.
However, when the ethtool -n command is used to query the flow steering
rules, the ethtool_rx_flow_spec returned is not complete causing the
error below.
Resolve this by storing the flow spec (fsp) when rules are added and
returning the complete flow spec when rules are queried.
Also, change the return value from EINVAL to ENOENT when flow steering
entry is not found during query by location or when deleting an entry.
Add logic to detect and reject duplicate filter entries at the same
location and change logic to perform upfront validation of all error
conditions before adding flow rules through virtchnl. This avoids the
need for additional virtchnl delete messages when subsequent operations
fail, which was missing in the original upstream code.
Example:
Before the fix:
ethtool -n eth1

Total 2 rules
rxclass: Unknown flow type
rxclass: Unknown flow type
After the fix:
ethtool -n eth1

The flow steering list maintains entries that are added and removed as
ethtool creates and deletes flow steering rules. Module removal with active
entries causes memory leak as the list is not properly cleaned up.
Prevent this by iterating through the remaining entries in the list and
freeing the associated memory during module removal. Add a spinlock
(flow_steer_list_lock) to protect the list access from multiple threads.

Fix the error handling in the init_task to make sure the service and
mailbox tasks are disabled if the error happens during load. These are
started in idpf_vc_core_init(), which spawns the init_task and has no way
of knowing if it failed. If the error happens on reset, following
successful driver load, the tasks can still run, as that will allow the
netdevs to attempt recovery through another reset. Stop the PTP callbacks
either way as those will be restarted by the call to idpf_vc_core_init()
during a successful reset.

Protect the reset path from callbacks by setting the netdevs to detached
state and close any netdevs in UP state until the reset handling has
completed. During a reset, the driver will de-allocate resources for the
vport, and there is no guarantee that those will recover, which is why the
existing vport_ctrl_lock does not provide sufficient protection.
idpf_detach_and_close() is called right before reset handling. If the
reset handling succeeds, the netdevs state is recovered via call to
idpf_attach_and_open(). If the reset handling fails the netdevs remain
down. The detach/down calls are protected with RTNL lock to avoid racing
with callbacks. On the recovery side the attach can be done without
holding the RTNL lock as there are no callbacks expected at that point,
due to detach/close always being done first in that flow.
The previous logic restoring the netdevs state based on the
IDPF_VPORT_UP_REQUESTED flag in the init task is not needed anymore, hence
the removal of idpf_set_vport_state(). The IDPF_VPORT_UP_REQUESTED is
still being used to restore the state of the netdevs following the reset,
but has no use outside of the reset handling flow.
idpf_init_hard_reset() is converted to void, since it was used as such and
there is no error handling being done based on its return value.
Before this change, invoking hard and soft resets simultaneously will
cause the driver to lose the vport state:
ip -br a
<inf> UP
echo 1 > /sys/class/net/ens801f0/device/reset& \
ethtool -L ens801f0 combined 8
ip -br a
<inf> DOWN
ip link set <inf> up
ip -br a
<inf> DOWN
Also in case of a failure in the reset path, the netdev is left
exposed to external callbacks, while vport resources are not
initialized, leading to a crash on subsequent ifup/down:

Non distro builds now require a new version of libbfd, so skip the test
if the library is too old.
The grep test isn't a strong as the feature test in
test-libbfd-threadsafe.c, but there seems to be precedent for feature
testing this way here and it's good enough for the build-test rule. If
the function exists but returns an error it will be picked up by the
feature test when attempting the build.

commit 243fea1346 ("NFSv4.2: fix listxattr to return selinux
security label") introduced a direct call to
security_inode_listsecurity() in nfs4_listxattr(). However,
nfs4_listxattr() already indirectly called
security_inode_listsecurity() via nfs4_listxattr_nfs4_label() if
CONFIG_NFS_V4_SECURITY_LABEL is enabled and the server has the
NFS_CAP_SECURITY_LABEL capability enabled. This duplication was fixed
by commit 9acb237def ("NFSv4.2: another fix for listxattr") by
making the second call conditional on NFS_CAP_SECURITY_LABEL not being
set by the server. However, the combination of the two changes
effectively makes one call to security_inode_listsecurity() in every
case - which is the desired behavior since getxattr() always returns a
security xattr even if it has to synthesize one. Further, the two
different calls produce different xattr name ordering between
security.* and user.* xattr names. Unify the two separate calls into a
single call and get rid of nfs4_listxattr_nfs4_label() altogether.

We originally protected PIDFD_GET_<ns-type>_NAMESPACE ioctls() through
ifdefs and recent rework made it possible to drop them. There was an
oversight though. When the relevant namespace is turned off ns->ops will
be NULL so even though opening a file descriptor is perfectly legitimate
it would fail during inode eviction when the file was closed.
The simple fix would be to check ns->ops for NULL and continue allow to
retrieve namespace fds from pidfds but we don't allow retrieving them
when the relevant namespace type is turned off. So keep the
simplification but add the ifdefs back in.

This UAPI header contains declarations of internal kernel symbols.
Such declarations are invalid. Normally headers_check.pl would report
an error, but apparently its dependency on CC_CAN_LINK prevent its
execution on hexagon so far.
As the header does not expose any additional UAPI, just make it a
regular internal kernel header. asm-generic/signal.h will be used
for the UAPI automatically, the same as before.

If `perf test` is run from that directory then PWD needn't also be that

Extend the "depends on" syntax to support conditional dependencies
using "depends on X if Y". While functionally equivalent to "depends
on X || (Y == n)", "depends on X if Y" is much more readable and
makes the kconfig language uniform in supporting the "if <expr>"
suffix.
This also improves readability for "optional" dependencies, which
are the subset of conditional dependencies where X is Y.
Previously such optional dependencies had to be expressed as
the counterintuitive "depends on X || !X", now this can be
represented as "depends on X if X".
The change is implemented by converting the "X if Y" syntax into the
"X || (Y == n)" syntax during "depends on" token processing.

The memory-barriers.txt Korean translation is quite outdated. The last
update on the translation was made on 2022-10-10, by commit ee5a86f451
("docs/memory-barriers.txt/kokr: Fix confusing name of 'data dependency
barrier'"). After the date, the original memory-barriers.txt got seven
more changes so far. The most recent one was made on 2025-11-05. But
none of those are applied to the translation.
Maybe I can work again on keeping it updated. But, given the
advancement of translation tools, I think it might not be worth keeping
it at all. Remove the outdated translation.
If it turns out to be worthy to keep the translation and someone willing
to keep it updated steps up, this could be reverted.
This change was inspired from the last kernel summit discussion [1].

The check for DCACHE_MANAGED_DENTRY at the start of __follow_mount_rcu()
is redundant because the only caller (handle_mounts) already verifies
d_managed(dentry) before calling this function, so, dentry in
__follow_mount_rcu() has always DCACHE_MANAGED_DENTRY set.
This early-out optimization never fires in practice - but it is marking
as likely().
This was detected with branch profiling, which shows 100% misprediction
in this likely.
Remove the whole if clause instead of removing the likely, given we
know for sure that dentry is not DCACHE_MANAGED_DENTRY.
