[ Upstream commit d7db7775ea2e31502d46427f5efd385afc4ff1eb ]

Commit d3256efd8e8b ("veth: allow enabling NAPI even without XDP") tried to fix
the fact that GRO was not possible without XDP, because veth did not use NAPI
without XDP. However, it also introduced the behaviour that GRO is always
enabled, when XDP is enabled.

While it might be desired for most cases, it is confusing for the user at best
as the GRO flag suddenly changes, when an XDP program is attached. It also
introduces some complexities in state management as was partially addressed in
commit fe9f801355f0 ("net: veth: clear GRO when clearing XDP even when down").

But the biggest problem is that it is not possible to disable GRO at all, when
an XDP program is attached, which might be needed for some use cases.

Fix this by not touching the GRO flag on XDP enable/disable as the code already
supports switching to NAPI if either GRO or XDP is requested.

[ Upstream commit 1ce7d306ea63f3e379557c79abd88052e0483813 ]

struct veth_rq is pretty large, 832B total without debug
options enabled. Since commit under Fixes we try to pre-allocate
enough queues for every possible CPU. Miao Wang reports that
this may lead to order-5 allocations which will fail in production.

Let the allocation fallback to vmalloc() and try harder.
These are the same flags we pass to netdev queue allocation.

[ Upstream commit fe9f801355f0b47668419f30f1fac1cf4539e736 ]

veth sets NETIF_F_GRO automatically when XDP is enabled,
because both features use the same NAPI machinery.

The logic to clear NETIF_F_GRO sits in veth_disable_xdp() which
is called both on ndo_stop and when XDP is turned off.
To avoid the flag from being cleared when the device is brought
down, the clearing is skipped when IFF_UP is not set.
Bringing the device down should indeed not modify its features.

Unfortunately, this means that clearing is also skipped when
XDP is disabled _while_ the device is down. And there's nothing
on the open path to bring the device features back into sync.
IOW if user enables XDP, disables it and then brings the device
up we'll end up with a stray GRO flag set but no NAPI instances.

We don't depend on the GRO flag on the datapath, so the datapath
won't crash. We will crash (or hang), however, next time features
are sync'ed (either by user via ethtool or peer changing its config).
The GRO flag will go away, and veth will try to disable the NAPIs.
But the open path never created them since XDP was off, the GRO flag
was a stray. If NAPI was initialized before we'll hang in napi_disable().
If it never was we'll crash trying to stop uninitialized hrtimer.

Move the GRO flag updates to the XDP enable / disable paths,
instead of mixing them with the ndo_open / ndo_close paths.

Fix a possible misalignment between page_pool stats and tx xdp_stats
reported in veth_get_ethtool_stats routine.
The issue can be reproduced configuring the veth pair with the
following tx/rx queues:

$ip link add v0 numtxqueues 2 numrxqueues 4 type veth peer name v1 \
 numtxqueues 1 numrxqueues 1

and loading a simple XDP program on v0 that just returns XDP_PASS.
In this case on v0 the page_pool stats overwrites tx xdp_stats for queue 1.
Fix the issue incrementing pp_idx of dev-&gt;real_num_tx_queues * VETH_TQ_STATS_LEN
since we always report xdp_stats for all tx queues in ethtool.

<title>veth: Use tstats per-CPU traffic counters</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6f2684bf2b4460c84d0d34612a939f78b96b03fc</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently veth devices use the lstats per-CPU traffic counters, which only
cover TX traffic. veth_get_stats64() actually populates RX stats of a veth
device from its peer's TX counters, based on the assumption that a veth
device can _only_ receive packets from its peer, which is no longer true:

For example, recent CNIs (like Cilium) can use the bpf_redirect_peer() BPF
helper to redirect traffic from NIC's tc ingress to veth's tc ingress (in
a different netns), skipping veth's peer device. Unfortunately, this kind
of traffic isn't currently accounted for in veth's RX stats.

In preparation for the fix, use tstats (instead of lstats) to maintain
both RX and TX counters for each veth device. We'll use RX counters for
bpf_redirect_peer() traffic, and keep using TX counters for the usual
"peer-to-peer" traffic. In veth_get_stats64(), calculate RX stats by
_adding_ RX count to peer's TX count, in order to cover both kinds of
traffic.

veth_stats_rx() might need a name change (perhaps to "veth_stats_xdp()")
for less confusion, but let's leave it to another patch to keep the fix
minimal.

Move {l,t,d}stats allocation to the core and let netdevs pick the stats
type they need. That way the driver doesn't have to bother with error
handling (allocation failure checking, making sure free happens in the
right spot, etc) - all happening in the core.

<title>veth: Update XDP feature set when bringing up device</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7a6102aa6df0d5d032b4cbc51935d1d4cda17254</id>
<content type='text'>
There's an early return in veth_set_features() if the device is in a down
state, which leads to the XDP feature flags not being updated when enabling
GRO while the device is down. Which in turn leads to XDP_REDIRECT not
working, because the redirect code now checks the flags.

Fix this by updating the feature flags after bringing the device up.

Before this patch:

NETDEV_XDP_ACT_BASIC:		yes
NETDEV_XDP_ACT_REDIRECT:	yes
NETDEV_XDP_ACT_NDO_XMIT:	no
NETDEV_XDP_ACT_XSK_ZEROCOPY:	no
NETDEV_XDP_ACT_HW_OFFLOAD:	no
NETDEV_XDP_ACT_RX_SG:		yes
NETDEV_XDP_ACT_NDO_XMIT_SG:	no

After this patch:

NETDEV_XDP_ACT_BASIC:		yes
NETDEV_XDP_ACT_REDIRECT:	yes
NETDEV_XDP_ACT_NDO_XMIT:	yes
NETDEV_XDP_ACT_XSK_ZEROCOPY:	no
NETDEV_XDP_ACT_HW_OFFLOAD:	no
NETDEV_XDP_ACT_RX_SG:		yes
