[PATCH net v7 0/7] net: mana: HW channel reliability and hardening fixes

[Long Li <longli@microsoft.com>]

This series fixes a set of reliability and safety bugs in the MANA HW
communication channel (HWC) and hardens the paths that consume
device-supplied values.  The HWC bootstrap and RX data come from the PF,
which is untrusted from a confidential-VM guest, so several of these are
also hardening fixes against a malicious or buggy host.

Patch 1 reference-counts the CQs looked up from the EQ interrupt handler so
a completion cannot race a concurrent CQ destroy.  Patches 2-3 fix an
RQ/SQ size swap and a use-after-free of the HWC comp_buf during teardown.
Patch 4 validates the lengths and indices taken from device DMA in the HWC
RX path.  Patch 5 makes HWC teardown safe when a device stops responding.
Patch 6 stops a stale/late HWC response from completing the wrong command
after a timeout.  Patch 7 keeps max_num_cqs immutable once cq_table is
allocated, so a later device event cannot inflate the bound past the
allocation.

The series has been build- and sparse-tested (C=2), and checkpatch is
clean on every patch.

Changes since v6:
- Patch 1: reworked from the lock-based scheme to lockless reference
  counting per review feedback.  Dropped gc->cq_table_lock entirely;
  lookups now take a reference under RCU (refcount_inc_not_zero) and the
  CQ is freed with kfree_rcu(), publish/unpublish are lockless.  Reordered
  mana_ib_destroy_cq() to detach the software callback before destroying
  the hardware CQ, closing a CQ-id recycle window.  Retitled accordingly
  ("reference-count CQs looked up from the EQ handler").
- Patch 4: bound the RX slot index by msg_buf->num_reqs (the __counted_by
  array bound) rather than the queue depth, and rate-limit the
  device-triggered RX error messages.
- Patch 5: the leak-on-teardown-failure branch now deregisters the HWC EQ
  IRQ and unpublishes the CQ before returning, so no late EQE can reach the
  leaked buffers.  Corrected the setup_active kerneldoc comment.
- Patch 6: dropped the terminal "timed out" latch, which could stop
  teardown commands from ever being posted to a slow device; the core
  stale-response fix (per-slot lock/refcount/responded flag) and the
  wait-queue admission change are retained, and the timeout still shortens
  later waits so teardown is posted.
- Patch 7: reject an out-of-range CQ id with a rate-limited error and
  -EPROTO instead of WARN_ON(), since both operands are device-controlled
  and WARN_ON() could panic a panic_on_warn guest.
- Patches 2, 3: commit-message wording only; no code change.
