HSR/PRP append a 6-byte tag/RCT to every forwarded frame and process
each frame individually (sequence numbering, duplicate discard). When
a lower device aggregates received frames into a GRO super-packet --
in software, or in hardware on GRO_HW-capable NICs -- the HSR
receive/forward path mishandles it: frames are dropped and, on
memory-constrained devices, processing super-skbs in softirq context
can also pressure atomic memory allocation.
The HSR/PRP stack already disables LRO on enslaved devices for the
same reason. Extend that treatment to GRO: add netif_disable_gro()
and dev_disable_gro() mirroring netif_disable_lro()/dev_disable_lro(),
and call dev_disable_gro() from hsr_portdev_setup() so enslavement to
an HSR/PRP master automatically strips NETIF_F_GRO and NETIF_F_GRO_HW
on the lower device (recursively on its own lowers, as with LRO).

hsr->seqnr_lock is currently held across entire hsr_forward_skb()
calls: master TX (hsr_dev_xmit()), interlink RX (hsr_handle_frame()),
and both supervision frame builders hold it while frames are built,
classified, duplicated and forwarded on every port. The only state
that actually needs the lock is the sequence counters themselves
(hsr->sequence_nr / hsr->sup_sequence_nr).
Shrink the locking to the individual counter updates:
handle_std_frame() now takes the lock around its sequence number
allocation (replacing the lockdep assertion), the master TX and
interlink RX paths drop their outer lock, and the supervision
builders release the lock right after updating their counter instead
of holding it across frame construction and forwarding.
Sequence numbers remain unique and monotonically allocated per
counter; concurrent inputs may now interleave allocations, which is
fine as the output paths were already concurrent.
This is a prerequisite for unfolding GSO super-packets at the forward
entry: segmentation with its dozens of GFP_ATOMIC allocations must
not run with BH disabled under the global sequence lock.
The locking being narrowed here was introduced by 06afd2c31d33
("hsr: Synchronize sending frames to have always incremented outgoing
seq nr."), briefly removed by b3c9e65eb227 ("net: hsr: remove
seqnr_lock") and reinstated for the interlink RX path by 430d67bdcb04
("net: hsr: Use the seqnr lock for frames received via interlink
port.") after a syzbot lockdep report. All sequence counter updates
remain protected; only the forwarding work moves out of the critical
section.

HSR/PRP forward frames one by one: each wire frame gets its own tag
and sequence number, and duplicate discard is per frame. A GSO
super-packet reaching hsr_forward_skb() breaks that per-frame
semantics: it would be tagged and forwarded as a single frame.
Unfold such super-packets at the forward entry with the top-level GSO
dispatch: __skb_gso_segment() initializes SKB_GSO_CB() and performs
the L2->L3->L4 protocol dispatch (calling the low-level skb_segment()
helper directly is not allowed here -- it reads SKB_GSO_CB(skb) state
that only __skb_gso_segment() sets up). features = 0 requests full
software segmentation; tx_path is selected by ingress port (master =
locally generated TX, interlink = RX) to get the right checksum
semantics. Each segment then runs through the existing per-frame
path, which is split out as hsr_forward_skb_one() so that no GSO skb
can reach it.
Segmentation is only offered for the ingress roles whose frames are
known to be plain Ethernet: the master (locally generated) and the
interlink (SAN side, untagged). A super-packet received from a LAN
slave may carry per-frame HSR tags or PRP RCT trailers that software
segmentation cannot recover, and an already-tagged HSR/PRP
super-packet violates per-frame wire semantics; both are rejected by
ingress-port policy. (ETH_P_PRP identifies supervision traffic only;
a PRP data frame keeps its payload EtherType, so RCT carriage cannot
be tested by protocol.)
Also drop NETIF_F_GSO_MASK from the HSR master's hw_features so
locally generated traffic is segmented before reaching the forward
path whenever possible.

Add a test exercising the HSR forward path with GSO super-packets:
a TSO-enabled SAN behind the interlink streams TCP through an HSR
DUT to a peer node. The test verifies that:
* enslaved devices have GRO and HW-GRO disabled automatically,
* the HSR master does not advertise GSO/TSO features,
* the stream completes with zero retransmits, i.e. super-packets are
unfolded per-frame at the forward entry instead of being tagged
and forwarded as single oversized frames (the stream is rate-capped
so the zero-retransmit discriminator is stable on CI-class hosts).
The one-shot iperf3 server runs inside a wrapper shell with its exact
PID recorded (pidfile appearance is polled, no startup race): cleanup
kills the server and wait(1)s the wrapper on every exit path, and the
success path waits and checks the server exit status, so neither the
server process nor the namespaces can leak. Environments whose
iproute2 lacks the HSR interlink syntax are skipped with ksft_skip.
Without the fixes the feature checks fail, and on drivers that hand
GRO super-packets to the HSR receive path the stream degrades or
stalls.

* [PATCH net 3/4] net: hsr: unfold GSO super-packets at the forward entry

HSR/PRP forward frames one by one: each wire frame gets its own tag
and sequence number, and duplicate discard is per frame. A GSO
super-packet reaching hsr_forward_skb() breaks that per-frame
semantics: it would be tagged and forwarded as a single frame.
Unfold such super-packets at the forward entry with the top-level GSO
dispatch: __skb_gso_segment() initializes SKB_GSO_CB() and performs
the L2->L3->L4 protocol dispatch (calling the low-level skb_segment()
helper directly is not allowed here -- it reads SKB_GSO_CB(skb) state
that only __skb_gso_segment() sets up). features = 0 requests full
software segmentation; tx_path is selected by ingress port (master =
locally generated TX, interlink = RX) to get the right checksum
semantics. Each segment then runs through the existing per-frame
path, which is split out as hsr_forward_skb_one() so that no GSO skb
can reach it.
Segmentation is only offered for the ingress roles whose frames are
known to be plain Ethernet: the master (locally generated) and the
interlink (SAN side, untagged). A super-packet received from a LAN
slave may carry per-frame HSR tags or PRP RCT trailers that software
segmentation cannot recover, and an already-tagged HSR/PRP
super-packet violates per-frame wire semantics; both are rejected by
ingress-port policy. (ETH_P_PRP identifies supervision traffic only;
a PRP data frame keeps its payload EtherType, so RCT carriage cannot
be tested by protocol.)
Also drop NETIF_F_GSO_MASK from the HSR master's hw_features so
locally generated traffic is segmented before reaching the forward
path whenever possible.
