====================
Netfilter fixes for net

The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for net:

1) Use DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE() instead of WARN_ON() from the tproxy
   datapath, a recent bug found a way to reach WARN_ON from datapath
   due to insufficient validation of xt_TPROTO checkentry.
   From Fernando F. Mancera.

2) Similar to previous patch to replace WARN_ON_ONCE by
   DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE() for connlimit. Not known issue, but
   since this patch has been around for a while, let's merge it.
   Also from Fernando.

3) Move nf_tables harware offload commit path after chain blob
   and audit to reduce chances of leaving the hardware in
   inconsistent state.

4) Add missing vzeroupper to nf_tables pipapo AVX2 to address
   performace degradation to later user of SSE code,
   from Eric Biggers.

5) Remove pr_debug() in x_tables extensions, a recent bogus found a
   way to print a unsanitized string in xt_IDLETIMER, many of these
   pr_debug() calls are there for historical reasons.

6) Use pr_info_ratelimited() in x_tables .checkentry.

7) Fix an imbalance in module refcount due to incorrect override
   expression logic with sets. Remove unnecessary clone in control
   plane, use the existing expressions provided by set or dynset
   expression. Release override expressions only.

8) Tigthen nf_tables device name removal, it is possible to remove
   prefix strings with exact device name. From Fernando F. Mancera.

9) Set on the set dead bit earlier, otherwise it is possible to
   call .commit on deleted sets. This also addresses the
   re-introduction of a bug.

* tag 'nf-26-08-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netfilter/nf:
  netfilter: nf_tables: remove leftover set_update_list
  netfilter: nf_tables: set on dead bit when performing early element removal
  netfilter: nf_tables: skip double clone set expressions on element insert
  netfilter: x_tables: replace pr_{info,err}() by pr_info_ratelimited()
  netfilter: x_tables: remove pr_debug
  netfilter: nft_set_pipapo_avx2: add missing vzeroupper
  netfilter: nf_tables: move hardware offload step after building the chain blob
  netfilter: conncount: use DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE on reaching count limit
  netfilter: tproxy: use DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE for protocol fallbacks

<title>net/sched: bound qdisc_pkt_len to prevent qdisc soft lockup</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8f735d64382dcf162f4276d6699d03ad2f859c0b</id>
<content type='text'>
qdisc_get_stab() accepts a user-supplied size table, and
__qdisc_calculate_pkt_len() amplifies qdisc_pkt_len() through the
overhead, the size-table data (u16), and size_log (up to
STAB_SIZE_LOG_MAX). A crafted stab can therefore set qdisc_pkt_len()
to ~1 GiB for an ordinary skb. Per-flow deficit schedulers such as
DRR and ETS replenish one quantum per loop iteration; with a tiny
quantum (1) they spin billions of times under the qdisc lock,
producing a soft lockup / RCU stall as illustrated by vega@nebusec.ai.

Cap the final qdisc_pkt_len() to QDISC_PKT_LEN_MAX so the size-table
amplification cannot drive deficit schedulers into an unbounded loop.
A legitimate size table (e.g. qfq's overhead 999999999, which is
handled by dropping) is still accepted.

Introduce cap QDISC_PKT_LEN_MAX (1 &lt;&lt; 20) = 1 MiB which is well above
any legitimate single-skb wire length: the largest current skb-&gt;len
is GSO_MAX_SIZE (524280), and an ATM-style size table (53/48 cell tax)
amplifies that to ~578 KB, both comfortably below 1 MiB. At the same
time, 1 MiB bounds the deficit refill loop to ~1M iterations per
packet with quantum=1, which completes in a few milliseconds well
under the demonstrated softlockup threshold (~10^9 iterations).

Conditions to recreate the bug:
- CONFIG_NET_SCHED=y, CONFIG_NET_SCH_DRR=y (or CONFIG_NET_SCH_ETS=y).
- Attach a DRR (or ETS) root qdisc with a crafted TCA_STAB that
  amplifies qdisc_pkt_len to ~1 GiB (e.g. size_log=15, data=[32768]).
- Add a class with a tiny quantum of 1 and send one small packet; the
  deficit loop spins billions of times under the qdisc lock and trips
  the softlockup detector (panic with kernel.softlockup_panic=1).
- Reachable as root or from an unprivileged user in a fresh user+net
  namespace (unshare -Urn) with namespace-local CAP_NET_ADMIN.

Pull more MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "mm/rmap: index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by anonymous pgoff"
   (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by their anonymous page offset
   to resolve confusion around reverse mapping for zeroed and CoW'd
   file-backed memory.

   Use this new VMA anonymous page offset tracking to eliminate index
   conflicts and lay the foundation for scalable CoW performance
   improvements.

 - "promote mapped executable folios after first usage for MGLRU"
   (Baolin Wang)

   Make MGLRU's protection of mapped executable file folios more
   reliable. Follow the classical LRU's logic, promoting mapped
   executable file folios after their first usage to give executable
   code a better chance to stay in memory and improve workload
   performance.

 - "mm: vmscan: fix node reclaim ignoring swappiness parameter" (Ridong
   Chen)

   Fix per-node proactive reclaim interface's ignoring the swappiness
   parameter when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled by consolidating
   sc_swappiness() into a single function that checks
   proactive_swappiness regardless of kernel configuration.

 - "mm/vmscan: reduce lru_lock contention via vmstat-derived
   scan-balance cost" (Usama Arif)

   Reduce lru_lock contention in the reclaim path by deriving
   scan-balance costs from vmstat counters rather than lock-acquired
   producer updates.

   Read and decay these cost signals on the reclaim side under a
   dedicated per-lruvec lock, reducing total LRU lock wait time by over
   60% without impacting scan throughput.

 - "zram: fix zram issues reported by sashiko" (Sergey Senozhatsky)

   Fix two low-risk zram bugs which Sashiko spotted in drive-by review.

 - "Honor XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT in xas_split_alloc() and charge to folio's
   memcg" (Zi Yan)

   Fix xas_split_alloc() by enabling target folio memcg charging during
   splits and adding the missing __GFP_ACCOUNT flag for proper XArray
   node memory accounting.

 - "selftests/mm: use pattern matching in .gitignore" (Pratyush Mallick)

   Replace hardcoded binary names in selftests/mm/.gitignore with a
   generic pattern-matching rule to automatically ignore generated test
   files and avoid manual updates when adding new tests.

 - "mm/page_ext: remove pgdat_page_ext_init()" (Sang-Heon Jeon)

   Make the incompatibility between FLATMEM and NUMA explicit in
   mm/Kconfig and remove the unused pgdat_page_ext_init() function.

 - "zram: fix zstd error paths and add parameter validation" (Haoqin
   Huang)

   Clean up zram compression backends by removing redundant error
   cleanup, adding parameter and dictionary validation, auto-prefixing
   algorithm error logs, and resetting parameters prior to
   reinitialization.

 - "zram: fix stale scan bounds after reinitialization" (Longlong Xia)

   Prevent out-of-bounds slot accesses during concurrent zram resets by
   moving table scan bound calculations under dev_lock in
   writeback_store() and read_block_state().

 - "add anon mTHP collapse test cases" (Baolin Wang)

   Extend selftests helper functions to support arbitrary page orders
   and add new test cases and options for mTHP collapse in khugepaged.

 - "selftests/mm: Handle unsupported and transient test conditions"
   (Muhammad Usama Anjum)

   Update MM selftests to report a SKIP status instead of a failure when
   required kernel or filesystem features are unsupported, while adding
   retry logic for transient page migration errors.

 - "mm/zswap: Fixes and improves the zswap shrink" (Hao Jia)

   Fix the missing zswap global shrinker when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled
   and extend shrink_memcg() to support batch writeback for improved
   writeback efficiency.

 - "alloc_tag: introduce IOCTL-based filtering for MAP" (Suren
   Baghdasaryan)

   Introduce an IOCTL-based binary interface for memory allocation
   profiling that enables kernel-side filtering before per-CPU counter
   aggregation.

   This eliminates the text-parsing overhead of /proc/allocinfo and
   provides up to a 20x speedup by transferring only filtered allocation
   data to userspace.

 - "better block swap batching and a different take on swap_ops v5"
   (Christoph Hellwig)

   Refactor block swap I/O to use swap_iocb for batching instead of
   single-bio requests and rebase the swap_ops interface, achieving
   faster swap throughput during kernel builds.

 - "mm: kmemleak: reduce transient false positives by confirming leaks"
   (Catalin Marinas)

   Reduce false-positive kmemleak reports by combining two kmemleak
   enhancements that add a second confirmation scan and a configurable
   minimum unreferenced scan count module parameter.

 - "mm: kmemleak: default min_unref_scans to 2 for verbose kernels"
   (Breno Leitao)

   Auto-scanning kernels can generate false-positive memory leak reports
   on single scans, so this patch defaults min_unref_scans to 2 when
   CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE is enabled to require a second
   confirming scan.

 - "swap_ops updates" (Christoph Hellwig)

   Batching I/O for synchronous swap devices causes performance
   regressions and filesystem-based swap suffers from double-indirection
   overhead. This series resolves both issues by reintroducing per-folio
   writes for synchronous swap and allowing filesystems to directly
   export their own swap_ops.

 - "mm/khugepaged: several cleanups" (Nico Pache)

   khugepaged accumulated redundant state-checking patterns and outdated
   comments following mTHP integration. Introduce dedicated helpers for
   PTE validation and event counting while refreshing the internal
   documentation.

 - "maple_tree: lock checking and clean ups" (Liam Howlett)

   Syzbot reports incorrectly blame memory management exit paths for
   locking bugs, maple tree erase operations risk allocation failures
   without gfp flags and internal documentation lacks clarity.

   Improve lock error detection, update docs, fix race and allocation
   edge cases and optimize erase allocations using a fallback to
   GFP_KERNEL | GFP_NOFAIL.

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: skip double clone set expressions on element insert</title>

Both the dynset and newsetelem path clone the existing set expressions
when setting set element expressions if no override expressions are
provided. This results in a double clone, once to clone the template set
expressions then another clone on the new element. Add a flag to
annotate if userspace provides a override expression (ie. expression of
the same type of the set but different configuration), otherwise borrow
the existing expression from the set. Add conditionals to release
expression iif they represent an override. Use this new override_exprs
flag to dump the dynset expression override to userspace.

This simplifies the existing logic and it also fixes a bug with the
connlimit expression which results in a module refcount imbalance
WARNING splat when resorting on the default set expressions.

<title>virtio-net: Ensure that TCP packets don't overflow gso_segs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c27c449d455aafd9018a3cbab150f1c42c87923f</id>
<content type='text'>
The user can specify any gso_size in a packet crafted with an AF_PACKET
PACKET_VNET_HDR socket, even smaller than TCP_MIN_GSO_SIZE = 8. At the
same time, GSO_MAX_SIZE = 8 * GSO_MAX_SEGS = 8 * 65535. When the user
crafts a packet with gso_size &lt; 8, there is a risk for partial GSO to
overflow the 16-bit gso_segs field when dividing the SKB length by
gso_size.

Adjust gso_size of TCP packets to be at least TCP_MIN_GSO_SIZE = 8. Keep
gso_size of UDP GSO packets, as gso_size=1 is valid and explicitly
tested at tools/testing/selftests/net/tun.c:649.

Fixes: 7c6d2ecbda83 ("net: be more gentle about silly gso requests coming from user")
