0f7f463d48 net: Change the API of PHY default timestamp to MAC
Change the API to select MAC default time stamping instead of the PHY.
Indeed the PHY is closer to the wire therefore theoretically it has less
delay than the MAC timestamping but the reality is different. Due to lower
time stamping clock frequency, latency in the MDIO bus and no PHC hardware
synchronization between different PHY, the PHY PTP is often less precise
than the MAC. The exception is for PHY designed specially for PTP case but
these devices are not very widespread. For not breaking the compatibility I
introduce a default_timestamp flag in phy_device that is set by the phy
driver to know we are using the old API behavior.

The phy_set_timestamp function is called at each call of phy_attach_direct.
In case of MAC driver using phylink this function is called when the
interface is turned up. Then if the interface goes down and up again the
last choice of timestamp will be overwritten by the default choice.
A solution could be to cache the timestamp status but it can bring other
issues. In case of SFP, if we change the module, it doesn't make sense to
blindly re-set the timestamp back to PHY, if the new module has a PHY with
mediocre timestamping capabilities.

c35e927cbe net: omit ndo_hwtstamp_get() call when possible in dev_set_hwtstamp_phylib()
Setting dev->priv_flags & IFF_SEE_ALL_HWTSTAMP_REQUESTS is only legal
for drivers which were converted to ndo_hwtstamp_get() and
ndo_hwtstamp_set(), and it is only there that we call ndo_hwtstamp_set()
for a request that otherwise goes to phylib (for stuff like packet traps,
which need to be undone if phylib failed, hence the old_cfg logic).

The problem is that we end up calling ndo_hwtstamp_get() when we don't
need to (even if the SIOCSHWTSTAMP wasn't intended for phylib, or if it
was, but the driver didn't set IFF_SEE_ALL_HWTSTAMP_REQUESTS). For those
unnecessary conditions, we share a code path with virtual drivers (vlan,
macvlan, bonding) where ndo_hwtstamp_get() is implemented as
generic_hwtstamp_get_lower(), and may be resolved through
generic_hwtstamp_ioctl_lower() if the lower device is unconverted.

I.e. this situation:

$ ip link add link eno0 name eno0.100 type vlan id 100
$ hwstamp_ctl -i eno0.100 -t 1

We are unprepared to deal with this, because if ndo_hwtstamp_get() is
resolved through a legacy ndo_eth_ioctl(SIOCGHWTSTAMP) lower_dev
implementation, that needs a non-NULL old_cfg.ifr pointer, and we don't
have it.

But we don't even need to deal with it either. In the general case,
drivers may not even implement SIOCGHWTSTAMP handling, only SIOCSHWTSTAMP,
so it makes sense to completely avoid a SIOCGHWTSTAMP call if we can.

The solution is to split the single "if" condition into 3 smaller ones,
thus separating the decision to call ndo_hwtstamp_get() from the
decision to call ndo_hwtstamp_set(). The third "if" condition is
identical to the first one, and both are subsets of the second one.
Thus, the "cfg" argument of kernel_hwtstamp_config_changed() is always
valid.

fd770e856e net: remove phy_has_hwtstamp() -> phy_mii_ioctl() decision from converted drivers
It is desirable that the new .ndo_hwtstamp_set() API gives more
uniformity, less overhead and future flexibility w.r.t. the PHY
timestamping behavior.

Currently there are some drivers which allow PHY timestamping through
the procedure mentioned in Documentation/networking/timestamping.rst.
They don't do anything locally if phy_has_hwtstamp() is set, except for
lan966x which installs PTP packet traps.

Centralize that behavior in a new dev_set_hwtstamp_phylib() code
function, which calls either phy_mii_ioctl() for the phylib PHY,
or .ndo_hwtstamp_set() of the netdev, based on a single policy
(currently simplistic: phy_has_hwtstamp()).

Any driver converted to .ndo_hwtstamp_set() will automatically opt into
the centralized phylib timestamping policy. Unconverted drivers still
get to choose whether they let the PHY handle timestamping or not.

Netdev drivers with integrated PHY drivers that don't use phylib
presumably don't set dev->phydev, and those will always see
HWTSTAMP_SOURCE_NETDEV requests even when converted. The timestamping
policy will remain 100% up to them.

e47d01fea6 net: add hwtstamping helpers for stackable net devices
The stackable net devices with hwtstamping support (vlan, macvlan,
bonding) only pass the hwtstamping ops to the lower (real) device.

These drivers are the first that need to be converted to the new
timestamping API, because if they aren't prepared to handle that,
then no real device driver cannot be converted to the new API either.

After studying what vlan_dev_ioctl(), macvlan_eth_ioctl() and
bond_eth_ioctl() have in common, here we propose two generic
implementations of ndo_hwtstamp_get() and ndo_hwtstamp_set() which
can be called by those 3 drivers, with "dev" being their lower device.

These helpers cover both cases, when the lower driver is converted to
the new API or unconverted.

We need some hacks in case of an unconverted driver, namely to stuff
some pointers in struct kernel_hwtstamp_config which shouldn't have
been there (since the new API isn't supposed to need it). These will
be removed when all drivers will have been converted to the new API.

66f7223039 net: add NDOs for configuring hardware timestamping
Current hardware timestamping API for NICs requires implementing
.ndo_eth_ioctl() for SIOCGHWTSTAMP and SIOCSHWTSTAMP.

That API has some boilerplate such as request parameter translation
between user and kernel address spaces, handling possible translation
failures correctly, etc. Since it is the same all across the board, it
would be desirable to handle it through generic code.

Here we introduce .ndo_hwtstamp_get() and .ndo_hwtstamp_set(), which
implement that boilerplate and allow drivers to just act upon requests.

5a17818682 net: dsa: replace NETDEV_PRE_CHANGE_HWTSTAMP notifier with a stub
There was a sort of rush surrounding commit 88c0a6b503 ("net: create a
netdev notifier for DSA to reject PTP on DSA master"), due to a desire
to convert DSA's attempt to deny TX timestamping on a DSA master to
something that doesn't block the kernel-wide API conversion from
ndo_eth_ioctl() to ndo_hwtstamp_set().

What was required was a mechanism that did not depend on ndo_eth_ioctl(),
and what was provided was a mechanism that did not depend on
ndo_eth_ioctl(), while at the same time introducing something that
wasn't absolutely necessary - a new netdev notifier.

There have been objections from Jakub Kicinski that using notifiers in
general when they are not absolutely necessary creates complications to
the control flow and difficulties to maintainers who look at the code.
So there is a desire to not use notifiers.

In addition to that, the notifier chain gets called even if there is no
DSA in the system and no one is interested in applying any restriction.

Take the model of udp_tunnel_nic_ops and introduce a stub mechanism,
through which net/core/dev_ioctl.c can call into DSA even when
CONFIG_NET_DSA=m.

Compared to the code that existed prior to the notifier conversion, aka
what was added in commits:
- 4cfab35667 ("net: dsa: Add wrappers for overloaded ndo_ops")
- 3369afba1e ("net: Call into DSA netdevice_ops wrappers")

this is different because we are not overloading any struct
net_device_ops of the DSA master anymore, but rather, we are exposing a
rather specific functionality which is orthogonal to which API is used
to enable it - ndo_eth_ioctl() or ndo_hwtstamp_set().

Also, what is similar is that both approaches use function pointers to
get from built-in code to DSA.

There is no point in replicating the function pointers towards
__dsa_master_hwtstamp_validate() once for every CPU port (dev->dsa_ptr).
Instead, it is sufficient to introduce a singleton struct dsa_stubs,
built into the kernel, which contains a single function pointer to
__dsa_master_hwtstamp_validate().

I find this approach preferable to what we had originally, because
dev->dsa_ptr->netdev_ops->ndo_do_ioctl() used to require going through
struct dsa_port (dev->dsa_ptr), and so, this was incompatible with any
attempts to add any data encapsulation and hide DSA data structures from
the outside world.

88c0a6b503 net: create a netdev notifier for DSA to reject PTP on DSA master
The fact that PTP 2-step TX timestamping is broken on DSA switches if
the master also timestamps the same packets is documented by commit
f685e609a3 ("net: dsa: Deny PTP on master if switch supports it").
We attempt to help the users avoid shooting themselves in the foot by
making DSA reject the timestamping ioctls on an interface that is a DSA
master, and the switch tree beneath it contains switches which are aware
of PTP.

The only problem is that there isn't an established way of intercepting
ndo_eth_ioctl calls, so DSA creates avoidable burden upon the network
stack by creating a struct dsa_netdevice_ops with overlaid function
pointers that are manually checked from the relevant call sites. There
used to be 2 such dsa_netdevice_ops, but now, ndo_eth_ioctl is the only
one left.

There is an ongoing effort to migrate driver-visible hardware timestamping
control from the ndo_eth_ioctl() based API to a new ndo_hwtstamp_set()
model, but DSA actively prevents that migration, since dsa_master_ioctl()
is currently coded to manually call the master's legacy ndo_eth_ioctl(),
and so, whenever a network device driver would be converted to the new
API, DSA's restrictions would be circumvented, because any device could
be used as a DSA master.

The established way for unrelated modules to react on a net device event
is via netdevice notifiers. So we create a new notifier which gets
called whenever there is an attempt to change hardware timestamping
settings on a device.

Finally, there is another reason why a netdev notifier will be a good
idea, besides strictly DSA, and this has to do with PHY timestamping.

With ndo_eth_ioctl(), all MAC drivers must manually call
phy_has_hwtstamp() before deciding whether to act upon SIOCSHWTSTAMP,
otherwise they must pass this ioctl to the PHY driver via
phy_mii_ioctl().

With the new ndo_hwtstamp_set() API, it will be desirable to simply not
make any calls into the MAC device driver when timestamping should be
performed at the PHY level.

But there exist drivers, such as the lan966x switch, which need to
install packet traps for PTP regardless of whether they are the layer
that provides the hardware timestamps, or the PHY is. That would be
impossible to support with the new API.

The proposal there, too, is to introduce a netdev notifier which acts as
a better cue for switching drivers to add or remove PTP packet traps,
than ndo_hwtstamp_set(). The one introduced here "almost" works there as
well, except for the fact that packet traps should only be installed if
the PHY driver succeeded to enable hardware timestamping, whereas here,
we need to deny hardware timestamping on the DSA master before it
actually gets enabled. This is why this notifier is called "PRE_", and
the notifier that would get used for PHY timestamping and packet traps
would be called NETDEV_CHANGE_HWTSTAMP. This isn't a new concept, for
example NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER and NETDEV_PRECHANGEUPPER do the same thing.

In expectation of future netlink UAPI, we also pass a non-NULL extack
pointer to the netdev notifier, and we make DSA populate it with an
informative reason for the rejection. To avoid making it go to waste, we
make the ioctl-based dev_set_hwtstamp() create a fake extack and print
the message to the kernel log.

c4bffeaa8d net: add struct kernel_hwtstamp_config and make net_hwtstamp_validate() use it
Jakub Kicinski suggested that we may want to add new UAPI for
controlling hardware timestamping through netlink in the future, and in
that case, we will be limited to the struct hwtstamp_config that is
currently passed in fixed binary format through the SIOCGHWTSTAMP and
SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctls. It would be good if new kernel code already
started operating on an extensible kernel variant of that structure,
similar in concept to struct kernel_ethtool_coalesce vs struct
ethtool_coalesce.

Since struct hwtstamp_config is in include/uapi/linux/net_tstamp.h, here
we introduce include/linux/net_tstamp.h which shadows that other header,
but also includes it, so that existing includers of this header work as
before. In addition to that, we add the definition for the kernel-only
structure, and a helper which translates all fields by manual copying.
I am doing a manual copy in order to not force the alignment (or type)
of the fields of struct kernel_hwtstamp_config to be the same as of
struct hwtstamp_config, even though now, they are the same.

4ee58e1e56 net: promote SIOCSHWTSTAMP and SIOCGHWTSTAMP ioctls to dedicated handlers
DSA does not want to intercept all ioctls handled by dev_eth_ioctl(),
only SIOCSHWTSTAMP. This can be seen from commit f685e609a3 ("net:

which the dsa_ndo_eth_ioctl() is called would suggest otherwise.

Split the handling of SIOCSHWTSTAMP and SIOCGHWTSTAMP ioctls into
separate case statements of dev_ifsioc(), and make each one call its own
sub-function. This also removes the dsa_ndo_eth_ioctl() call from
dev_eth_ioctl(), which from now on exclusively handles PHY ioctls.

b5f0de6df6 net: dev: Convert sa_data to flexible array in struct sockaddr
One of the worst offenders of "fake flexible arrays" is struct sockaddr,
as it is the classic example of why GCC and Clang have been traditionally
forced to treat all trailing arrays as fake flexible arrays: in the
distant misty past, sa_data became too small, and code started just
treating it as a flexible array, even though it was fixed-size. The
special case by the compiler is specifically that sizeof(sa->sa_data)
and FORTIFY_SOURCE (which uses __builtin_object_size(sa->sa_data, 1))
do not agree (14 and -1 respectively), which makes FORTIFY_SOURCE treat
it as a flexible array.

However, the coming -fstrict-flex-arrays compiler flag will remove
these special cases so that FORTIFY_SOURCE can gain coverage over all
the trailing arrays in the kernel that are _not_ supposed to be treated
as a flexible array. To deal with this change, convert sa_data to a true
flexible array. To keep the structure size the same, move sa_data into
a union with a newly introduced sa_data_min with the original size. The
result is that FORTIFY_SOURCE can continue to have no idea how large
sa_data may actually be, but anything using sizeof(sa->sa_data) must
switch to sizeof(sa->sa_data_min).

 - netdevice.h is very cluttered, hard to figure out

 - netdevice.h is very long;
 - we have to touch netdevice.h more which causes expensive
   incremental builds.

Create a header under net/core/ and move some declarations.

The new header is also a bit of a catch-all but that's
fine, if we create more specific headers people will
likely over-think where their declaration fit best.
And end up putting them in netdevice.h, again.

More work should be done on splitting netdevice.h into more
targeted headers, but that'd be more time consuming so small
steps.

PHC index directly. But when there is a failover, the bond active
interface will change, thus the PHC index is also changed. This may
break the user's program if they did not update the PHC timely.

This patch adds a new hwtstamp_config flag HWTSTAMP_FLAG_BONDED_PHC_INDEX.
When the user wants to get the bond active interface's PHC, they need to
add this flag and be aware the PHC index may be changed.

With the new flag. All flag checks in current drivers are removed. Only
the checking in net_hwtstamp_validate() is kept.

9384eacd80 net: core: don't call SIOCBRADD/DELIF for non-bridge devices
Commit ad2f99aedf ("net: bridge: move bridge ioctls out of .ndo_do_ioctl")
changed SIOCBRADD/DELIF to use bridge's ioctl hook (br_ioctl_hook)
without checking if the target netdevice is actually a bridge which can
cause crashes and generally interpreting other devices' private pointers
as net_bridge pointers.

893b195875 net: bridge: fix ioctl locking
Before commit ad2f99aedf ("net: bridge: move bridge ioctls out of
.ndo_do_ioctl") the bridge ioctl calls were divided in two parts:
one was deviceless called by sock_ioctl and didn't expect rtnl to be held,
the other was with a device called by dev_ifsioc() and expected rtnl to be
held. After the commit above they were united in a single ioctl stub, but
it didn't take care of the locking expectations.
For sock_ioctl now we acquire  (1) br_ioctl_mutex, (2) rtnl
and for dev_ifsioc we acquire  (1) rtnl,           (2) br_ioctl_mutex

The fix is to get a refcnt on the netdev for dev_ifsioc calls and drop rtnl
then to reacquire it in the bridge ioctl stub after br_ioctl_mutex has
been acquired. That will avoid playing locking games and make the rules
straight-forward: we always take br_ioctl_mutex first, and then rtnl.

My first attempt was to add another ndo_siocbr() callback, but
as there is only a single driver that takes these commands and
there is already a hook mechanism to call directly into this
driver, extend this hook instead, and use it for both the
deviceless and the device specific ioctl commands.

a76053707d dev_ioctl: split out ndo_eth_ioctl
Most users of ndo_do_ioctl are ethernet drivers that implement
the MII commands SIOCGMIIPHY/SIOCGMIIREG/SIOCSMIIREG, or hardware
timestamping with SIOCSHWTSTAMP/SIOCGHWTSTAMP.

Separate these from the few drivers that use ndo_do_ioctl to
implement SIOCBOND, SIOCBR and SIOCWANDEV commands.

This is a purely cosmetic change intended to help readers find
their way through the implementation.

a554bf96b4 dev_ioctl: pass SIOCDEVPRIVATE data separately
The compat handlers for SIOCDEVPRIVATE are incorrect for any driver that
passes data as part of struct ifreq rather than as an ifr_data pointer, or
that passes data back this way, since the compat_ifr_data_ioctl() helper
overwrites the ifr_data pointer and does not copy anything back out.

Since all drivers using devprivate commands are now converted to the
new .ndo_siocdevprivate callback, fix this by adding the missing piece
and passing the pointer separately the whole way.

This further unifies the native and compat logic for socket ioctls,
as the new code now passes the correct pointer as well as the correct
data for both native and compat ioctls.

b9067f5dc4 net: split out SIOCDEVPRIVATE handling from dev_ioctl
SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctl commands are mainly used in really old
drivers, and they have a number of problems:

- They hide behind the normal .ndo_do_ioctl function that
  is also used for other things in modern drivers, so it's
  hard to spot a driver that actually uses one of these

- Since drivers use a number different calling conventions,
  it is impossible to support compat mode for them in
  a generic way.

- With all drivers using the same 16 commands codes, there
  is no way to introspect the data being passed through
  things like strace.

Add a new net_device_ops callback pointer, to address the
first two of these. Separating them from .ndo_do_ioctl
makes it easy to grep for drivers with a .ndo_siocdevprivate
callback, and the unwieldy name hopefully makes it easier
to spot in code review.

By passing the ifreq structure and the ifr_data pointer
separately, it is no longer necessary to overload these,
and the driver can use either one for a given command.

3b23a32a63 net: fix dev_ifsioc_locked() race condition
dev_ifsioc_locked() is called with only RCU read lock, so when
there is a parallel writer changing the mac address, it could
get a partially updated mac address, as shown below:

Thread 1			Thread 2
// eth_commit_mac_addr_change()
memcpy(dev->dev_addr, addr->sa_data, ETH_ALEN);
				// dev_ifsioc_locked()
				memcpy(ifr->ifr_hwaddr.sa_data,
					dev->dev_addr,...);

Close this race condition by guarding them with a RW semaphore,
like netdev_get_name(). We can not use seqlock here as it does not
allow blocking. The writers already take RTNL anyway, so this does
not affect the slow path. To avoid bothering existing
dev_set_mac_address() callers in drivers, introduce a new wrapper
just for user-facing callers on ioctl and rtnetlink paths.

Note, bonding also changes slave mac addresses but that requires
a separate patch due to the complexity of bonding code.

several sites (VLAN, ipvlan, VRF, rtnetlink) do have extack available.

The cited patch added a call to dev_change_tx_queue_len in

This obsoletes the new len comparison check done before the function call.
Remove it here.

For the desicion of keep/remove the negative value check, we examine the
range check in dev_change_tx_queue_len.
On 64-bit we will fail with -ERANGE.  The 32-bit int ifr_qlen will be sign
extended to 64-bits when it is passed into dev_change_tx_queue_len(). And
then for negative values this test triggers:

	if (new_len != (unsigned int)new_len)
		return -ERANGE;

because:
	if (0xffffffffWHATEVER != 0x00000000WHATEVER)

On 32-bit the signed value will be accepted, changing behavior.

Therefore, the negative value check is kept.

3f76df1982 net: use dev_change_tx_queue_len() for SIOCSIFTXQLEN
As noticed by Eric, we need to switch to the helper
dev_change_tx_queue_len() for SIOCSIFTXQLEN call path too,
otheriwse still miss dev_qdisc_change_tx_queue_len().

Fixes: 6a643ddb56 ("net: introduce helper dev_change_tx_queue_len()")

b51f26b146 net: don't unnecessarily load kernel modules in dev_ioctl()
Starting with v4.16-rc1 we've been seeing a higher than usual number
of requests for the kernel to load networking modules, even on events
which shouldn't trigger a module load (e.g. ioctl(TCGETS)).  Stephen
Smalley suggested the problem may lie in commit 44c02a2c3d
("dev_ioctl(): move copyin/copyout to callers") which moves changes
the network dev_ioctl() function to always call dev_load(),
regardless of the requested ioctl.

This patch moves the dev_load() calls back into the individual ioctls
while preserving the rest of the original patch.
