Kohei Enju disallows XDP attach when VSI is rebuilding to prevent
possible NULL dereference on ice.

Michal Schmidt adds call to ice_vsi_realloc_stat_arrays() when
reconfiguring VF VSIs on ice to resolve overwriting bounds when queues
are increased.

Jose Ignacio Tornos Martinez fixes issues with VF bonding that came
about with commit ad7c7b2172c3 ("net: hold netdev instance lock during
sysfs operations").

Further details:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260429102426.210750-1-jtornosm@redhat.com/

Przemyslaw Korba sets the proper PTP extts flags for i40e.

Corinna Vinschen moves from VF spinlock to RCU to prevent races in
structure accesses in ixgbe.

The following are changes since commit edc502717be153674b0b3eefb8b40734c747c138:
  Merge branch 'mptcp-misc-fixes-for-v7-1-rc4'

From: Kohei Enju <kohei@enjuk.jp>

ice_xdp_setup_prog() unconditionally hot-swaps xdp_prog when
ICE_VSI_REBUILD_PENDING is set. In the attach path, this can publish a
new rx_ring->xdp_prog before rx_ring->xdp_ring becomes valid while the
rebuild is pending. As a result, ice_clean_rx_irq() may dereference
rx_ring->xdp_ring too early.

With high-volume RX packets, running these commands in parallel
triggered a KASAN splat [1].
 # ethtool --reset $DEV irq dma filter offload
 # ip link set dev $DEV xdp {obj $OBJ sec xdp,off}

Fix this by rejecting XDP attach while rebuild is pending.
Keep XDP detach allowed in this window. Detach clears rx_ring->xdp_prog,
so the RX path will not attempt to access rx_ring->xdp_ring.

From: Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com>

When a VF increases its queue count via VIRTCHNL_OP_REQUEST_QUEUES,
ice_vc_request_qs_msg() sets vf->num_req_qs and triggers a VF reset.
The reset calls ice_vf_reconfig_vsi(), which does ice_vsi_decfg()
followed by ice_vsi_cfg(). ice_vsi_decfg() does not free the per-ring
stats arrays. Inside ice_vsi_cfg_def(), ice_vsi_set_num_qs() updates
alloc_txq/alloc_rxq to the new larger value, but
ice_vsi_alloc_stat_arrays() returns early because the stats already
exist. ice_vsi_alloc_ring_stats() then iterates using the new larger
alloc_txq and writes beyond the bounds of the old, smaller
tx_ring_stats/rx_ring_stats pointer arrays, corrupting adjacent SLUB
metadata.

KASAN detects the bug:

 ==================================================================

ice_vsi_rebuild() handles this correctly by calling
ice_vsi_realloc_stat_arrays() before reconfiguration, but
ice_vf_reconfig_vsi() was missing this call.

Fix by calling ice_vsi_realloc_stat_arrays() in ice_vf_reconfig_vsi()
before ice_vsi_decfg(), mirroring the ice_vsi_rebuild() pattern. Set
vsi->req_txq/req_rxq from vf->num_req_qs so the realloc function knows
the target array size.

See the linked RHEL Jira item for a reproducer.

From: Jose Ignacio Tornos Martinez <jtornosm@redhat.com>

When a MAC address change is requested while the VF is resetting or still
initializing, return -EBUSY immediately instead of attempting the
operation.

Additionally, during early initialization states (before __IAVF_DOWN),
the PF may be slow to respond to MAC change requests, causing long
delays. Only allow MAC changes once the VF reaches __IAVF_DOWN state or
later, when the watchdog is running and the VF is ready for operations.

After commit ad7c7b2172c3 ("net: hold netdev instance lock
during sysfs operations"), MAC changes are called with the netdev lock
held, so we should not wait with the lock held during reset or
initialization. This allows the caller to retry or handle the busy state
appropriately without blocking other operations.

From: Jose Ignacio Tornos Martinez <jtornosm@redhat.com>

The current implementation triggers a VF reset when changing the trust
setting, causing a ~10 second delay during bonding setup.

In all the cases, the reset causes a ~10 second delay during which:
- VF must reinitialize completely
- Any in-progress operations (like bonding enslave) fail with timeouts
- VF is unavailable

When granting trust, no reset is needed - we can just set the capability
flag to allow privileged operations.

When revoking trust, we only need to reset (conservative approach) if
the VF has actually configured advanced features that require cleanup
(ADQ/cloud filters, promiscuous mode). For VFs in a clean state, we can
safely change the trust setting without the disruptive reset.

When we don't reset, we manually handle capability flag via helper
function, eliminating the delay.

From: Jose Ignacio Tornos Martinez <jtornosm@redhat.com>

After commit ad7c7b2172c3 ("net: hold netdev instance lock during sysfs
operations"), iavf_set_mac() is called with the netdev instance lock
already held.

The function queues a MAC address change request via
iavf_replace_primary_mac() and then waits for completion. However, in
the current flow, the actual virtchnl message is sent by the watchdog
task, which also needs to acquire the netdev lock to run. Additionally,
the adminq_task which processes virtchnl responses also needs the netdev
lock.

This creates a deadlock scenario:
1. iavf_set_mac() holds netdev lock and waits for MAC change
2. Watchdog needs netdev lock to send the request -> blocked
3. Even if request is sent, adminq_task needs netdev lock to process
   PF response -> blocked
4. MAC change times out after 2.5 seconds
5. iavf_set_mac() returns -EAGAIN

This particularly affects VFs during bonding setup when multiple VFs are
enslaved in quick succession.

Fix by implementing a synchronous MAC change operation similar to the
approach used in commit fdadbf6e84c4 ("iavf: fix incorrect reset handling
in callbacks").

The solution:
1. Send the virtchnl ADD_ETH_ADDR message directly (not via watchdog)
2. Poll the admin queue hardware directly for responses
3. Process all received messages (including non-MAC messages)
4. Return when MAC change completes or times out

A new generic function iavf_poll_virtchnl_response() is introduced that
can be reused for any future synchronous virtchnl operations. It takes a
callback to check completion, allowing flexible condition checking.

This allows the operation to complete synchronously while holding
netdev_lock, without relying on watchdog or adminq_task. The function
can sleep for up to 2.5 seconds polling hardware, but this is acceptable
since netdev_lock is per-device and only serializes operations on the
same interface.

To support this, change iavf_add_ether_addrs() to return an error code
instead of void, allowing callers to detect failures. Additionally,
export iavf_mac_add_reject() to enable proper rollback on local failures
(timeouts, send errors) - PF rejections are already handled automatically
by iavf_virtchnl_completion().

Remove vc_waitqueue entirely because iavf_set_mac was the only waiter on
this waitqueue and after the changes it is not needed.

From: Jose Ignacio Tornos Martinez <jtornosm@redhat.com>

Similar to the i40e fix, ice_set_vf_trust() unconditionally calls
ice_reset_vf() when the trust setting changes. While the delay is smaller
than i40e this reset is still unnecessary in most cases.

Additionally, the original code has a race condition: it deletes MAC LLDP
filters BEFORE resetting the VF. During this deletion, the VF is still
ACTIVE and can add new MAC LLDP filters concurrently, potentially
corrupting the filter list.

When granting trust, no reset is needed - we can just set the capability
flag to allow privileged operations.

When revoking trust, we only need to reset (conservative approach) if
the VF has actually configured advanced features that require cleanup
(MAC LLDP filters, promiscuous mode). For VFs in a clean state, we can
safely change the trust setting without the disruptive reset.

When we do reset (MAC LLDP case), we fix the race condition by resetting
first to clear VF state (which blocks new MAC LLDP filter additions), then
delete existing filters safely. During cleanup, vf->trusted remains true so
ice_vf_is_lldp_ena() works properly. Only after cleanup do we set
vf->trusted = false.

When we don't reset, we manually handle capability flag via helper
function, eliminating the delay.

The i40e driver always supported only rising edge detection, so
advertise PTP_RISING_EDGE, and PTP_STRICT_FLAGS to ensure the
PTP core properly validates user requests.

Commit 1e53834ce541d ("ixgbe: Add locking to prevent panic when setting
sriov_numvfs to zero") added a spinlock to the adapter info.  The reason
at the time was an observed crash when ixgbe_disable_sriov() freed the
adapter->vfinfo array while the interrupt driven function ixgbe_msg_task()
was handling VF messages.

Recent stability testing turned up another crash, which is very easily
reproducible:

  while true
  do
    for numvfs in 5 0
    do
      echo $numvfs > /sys/class/net/eth0/device/sriov_numvfs
    done
  done

This crashed almost always within the first two hundred runs with
a NULL pointer deref while running the ixgbe_service_task() workqueue:

The first simple patch, just adding spinlocking to ixgbe_update_stats()
while reading from adapter->vfinfo, did not fix the problem, it just
moved it elsewhere: I could now reproduce the same kind of crash in
ixgbe_restore_vf_multicasts().

But adding more spinlocking doesn't really cut it.  One reason is that
ixgbe_restore_vf_multicasts() is called from within ixgbe_msg_task()
with active spinlock, as well as from outside without locking.

Additionally, given that ixgbe_disable_sriov() is the only call changing
adapter->vfinfo, and given ixgbe_disable_sriov() is called very
seldom compared to other actions in the driver, just adding more
spinlocks would unnecessarily occupy the driver with spinning when
multiple functions accessing adapter->vfinfo are running in parallel.

So this patch drops the spinlock in favor of RCU and uses it throughout
the driver.

While changing this, it seems prudent to do the same for the
adapter->mv_list array, which is allocated and freed at the same time as
adapter->vfinfo, albeit there was no crash observed.

I seem to recall complaining about this sort of error handling to you
folks in the past. Chances are user space will just fail seeing this
