above their function definition saying that these two functions require
the caller to hold the hdev->lock lock. However, hci_le_ext_adv_term_evt
does not acquire that lock and neither does its caller hci_le_meta_evt
(hci_le_meta_evt calls hci_le_ext_adv_term_evt via an indirect function
call because of the lookup in hci_le_ev_table).
The other event handlers all acquire and release the hdev->lock and they
follow the rule that hci_find_adv_instance and hci_remove_adv_instance
must be called while holding the hdev->lock lock.
The solution is to make sure hci_le_ext_adv_term_evt also acquires and
releases the hdev->lock lock. The check on ev->status which logs a
warning and does an early return is not covered by the lock because
other functions also access ev->status without holding the lock.

This patch adds zero-copy Rx and Tx support for AF_XDP sockets. It do so
by adding a separate NAPI poll function that is attached to a each
channel when the XSK socket is attached with XDP_SETUP_XSK_POOL, and
restored when the XSK socket is terminated, this is done per channel.
Support for XDP_TX is implemented and the XDP buffer can safely be moved
from the Rx to the Tx queue and correctly freed and returned to the XSK
pool once it's transmitted.
Note that when AF_XDP zero-copy is enabled, the XDP action XDP_PASS
will allocate a new buffer and copy the zero-copy frame prior
passing it to the kernel stack.

====================
100GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2022-03-03
Jacob Keller says:
This series refactors the ice networking driver VF storage from a simple
static array to a hash table. It also introduces krefs and proper locking
and protection to prevent common use-after-free and concurrency issues.
There are two motivations for this work. First is to make the ice driver
more resilient by preventing a whole class of use-after-free bugs that can
occur around concurrent access to VF structures while removing VFs.
The second is to prepare the ice driver for future virtualization work to
support Scalable IOV, an alternative VF implementation compared to Single
Root IOV. The new VF implementation will allow for more dynamic VF creation
and removal, necessitating a more robust implementation for VF storage that
can't rely on the existing mechanisms to prevent concurrent access
violations.
The first few patches are cleanup and preparatory work needed to make the
conversion to the hash table safe. Following this preparatory work is a
patch to migrate the VF structures and variables to a new sub-structure for
code clarity. Next introduce new interface functions to abstract the VF
storage. Finally, the driver is actually converted to the hash table and
kref implementation.

ice: convert VF storage to hash table with krefs and RCU
The ice driver stores VF structures in a simple array which is allocated
once at the time of VF creation. The VF structures are then accessed
from the array by their VF ID. The ID must be between 0 and the number
of allocated VFs.
Multiple threads can access this table:
* .ndo operations such as .ndo_get_vf_cfg or .ndo_set_vf_trust
* interrupts, such as due to messages from the VF using the virtchnl
communication
* processing such as device reset
* commands to add or remove VFs
The current implementation does not keep track of when all threads are
done operating on a VF and can potentially result in use-after-free
issues caused by one thread accessing a VF structure after it has been
released when removing VFs. Some of these are prevented with various
state flags and checks.
In addition, this structure is quite static and does not support a
planned future where virtualization can be more dynamic. As we begin to
look at supporting Scalable IOV with the ice driver (as opposed to just
supporting Single Root IOV), this structure is not sufficient.
In the future, VFs will be able to be added and removed individually and
dynamically.
To allow for this, and to better protect against a whole class of
use-after-free bugs, replace the VF storage with a combination of a hash
table and krefs to reference track all of the accesses to VFs through
the hash table.
A hash table still allows efficient look up of the VF given its ID, but
also allows adding and removing VFs. It does not require contiguous VF
IDs.
The use of krefs allows the cleanup of the VF memory to be delayed until
after all threads have released their reference (by calling ice_put_vf).
To prevent corruption of the hash table, a combination of RCU and the
mutex table_lock are used. Addition and removal from the hash table use
the RCU-aware hash macros. This allows simple read-only look ups that
iterate to locate a single VF can be fast using RCU. Accesses which
modify the hash table, or which can't take RCU because they sleep, will
hold the mutex lock.
By using this design, we have a stronger guarantee that the VF structure
can't be released until after all threads are finished operating on it.
We also pave the way for the more dynamic Scalable IOV implementation in
the future.

ice: introduce VF accessor functions
Before we switch the VF data structure storage mechanism to a hash,
introduce new accessor functions to define the new interface.
* ice_get_vf_by_id is a function used to obtain a reference to a VF from

* ice_has_vfs is used to quickly check if any VFs are configured
* ice_get_num_vfs is used to get an exact count of how many VFs are
configured
We can drop the old ice_validate_vf_id function, since every caller was
just going to immediately access the VF table to get a reference
anyways. This way we simply use the single ice_get_vf_by_id to both
validate the VF ID is within range and that there exists a VF with that
ID.

ice: convert ice_for_each_vf to include VF entry iterator
The ice_for_each_vf macro is intended to be used to loop over all VFs.
The current implementation relies on an iterator that is the index into
the VF array in the PF structure. This forces all users to perform a
look up themselves.
This abstraction forces a lot of duplicate work on callers and leaks the
interface implementation to the caller. Replace this with an
implementation that includes the VF pointer the primary iterator. This
version simplifies callers which just want to iterate over every VF, as
they no longer need to perform their own lookup.
The "i" iterator value is replaced with a new unsigned int "bkt"
parameter, as this will match the necessary interface for replacing
the VF array with a hash table. For now, the bkt is the VF ID, but in
the future it will simply be the hash bucket index. Document that it
should not be treated as a VF ID.
This change aims to simplify switching from the array to a hash table. I
considered alternative implementations such as an xarray but decided
that the hash table was the simplest and most suitable implementation. I
also looked at methods to hide the bkt iterator entirely, but I couldn't
come up with a feasible solution that worked for hash table iterators.

ice: use ice_for_each_vf for iteration during removal
When removing VFs, the driver takes a weird approach of assigning
pf->num_alloc_vfs to 0 before iterating over the VFs using a temporary
variable.
This logic has been in the driver for a long time, and seems to have
been carried forward from i40e.
We want to refactor the way VFs are stored, and iterating over the data
structure without the ice_for_each_vf interface impedes this work.
The logic relies on implicitly using the num_alloc_vfs as a sort of
"safe guard" for accessing VF data.
While this sort of guard makes sense for Single Root IOV where all VFs
are added at once, the data structures don't work for VFs which can be
added and removed dynamically. We also have a separate state flag,
ICE_VF_DEINIT_IN_PROGRESS which is a stronger protection against
concurrent removal and access.
Avoid the custom tmp iteration and replace it with the standard
ice_for_each_vf iterator. Delay the assignment of num_alloc_vfs until
after this loop finishes.

ice: remove checks in ice_vc_send_msg_to_vf
The ice_vc_send_msg_to_vf function is used by the PF to send a response
to a VF. This function has overzealous checks to ensure its not passed a
NULL VF pointer and to ensure that the passed in struct ice_vf has a
valid vf_id sub-member.
These checks have existed since commit 1071a8358a28 ("ice: Implement
virtchnl commands for AVF support") and function as simple sanity
checks.
We are planning to refactor the ice driver to use a hash table along
with appropriate locks in a future refactor. This change will modify how
the ice_validate_vf_id function works. Instead of a simple >= check to
ensure the VF ID is between some range, it will check the hash table to
see if the specified VF ID is actually in the table. This requires that
the function properly lock the table to prevent race conditions.
The checks may seem ok at first glance, but they don't really provide
much benefit.
In order for ice_vc_send_msg_to_vf to have these checks fail, the
callers must either (1) pass NULL as the VF, (2) construct an invalid VF
pointer manually, or (3) be using a VF pointer which becomes invalid
after they obtain it properly using ice_get_vf_by_id.
For (1), a cursory glance over callers of ice_vc_send_msg_to_vf can show
that in most cases the functions already operate assuming their VF
pointer is valid, such as by derferencing vf->pf or other members.
They obtain the VF pointer by accessing the VF array using the VF ID,
which can never produce a NULL value (since its a simple address
operation on the array it will not be NULL.
The sole exception for (1) is that ice_vc_process_vf_msg will forward a
NULL VF pointer to this function as part of its goto error handler
logic. This requires some minor cleanup to simply exit immediately when
an invalid VF ID is detected (Rather than use the same error flow as
the rest of the function).
For (2), it is unexpected for a flow to construct a VF pointer manually
instead of accessing the VF array. Defending against this is likely to
just hide bad programming.
For (3), it is definitely true that VF pointers could become invalid,
for example if a thread is processing a VF message while the VF gets
removed. However, the correct solution is not to add additional checks
like this which do not guarantee to prevent the race. Instead we plan to
solve the root of the problem by preventing the possibility entirely.
This solution will require the change to a hash table with proper
locking and reference counts of the VF structures. When this is done,
ice_validate_vf_id will require locking of the hash table. This will be
problematic because all of the callers of ice_vc_send_msg_to_vf will
already have to take the lock to obtain the VF pointer anyways. With a
mutex, this leads to a double lock that could hang the kernel thread.
Avoid this by removing the checks which don't provide much value, so
that we can safely add the necessary protections properly.
