Now, register_pernet_subsys() and register_netdevice_notifier() are both
after sock_register(). It can create PF_PACKET socket and process socket
once sock_register() successfully. It is possible PF_PACKET socket is
creating but register_pernet_subsys() and register_netdevice_notifier()
are not registered yet. Thus net->packet.sklist_lock and net->packet.sklist
will be accessed without initialization that is done in packet_net_init().
Although this is a low probability scenario.
Move register_pernet_subsys() and register_netdevice_notifier() to the
front in packet_init(). Correspondingly, adjust the unregister process

Currently, the kernel drops GSO VLAN tagged packet if it's created with
socket(AF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, 0) plus virtio_net_hdr.
The reason is AF_PACKET doesn't adjust the skb network header if there is
a VLAN tag. Then after virtio_net_hdr_set_proto() called, the skb->protocol
will be set to ETH_P_IP/IPv6. And in later inet/ipv6_gso_segment() the skb
is dropped as network header position is invalid.
Let's handle VLAN packets by adjusting network header position in
packet_parse_headers(). The adjustment is safe and does not affect the
later xmit as tap device also did that.
In packet_snd(), packet_parse_headers() need to be moved before calling
virtio_net_hdr_set_proto(), so we can set correct skb->protocol and
network header first.
There is no need to update tpacket_snd() as it calls packet_parse_headers()
in tpacket_fill_skb(), which is already before calling virtio_net_hdr_*
functions.
skb->no_fcs setting is also moved upper to make all skb settings together
and keep consistency with function packet_sendmsg_spkt().

skb_recv_datagram() has two parameters 'flags' and 'noblock' that are
merged inside skb_recv_datagram() by 'flags | (noblock ? MSG_DONTWAIT : 0)'
As 'flags' may contain MSG_DONTWAIT as value most callers split the 'flags'
into 'flags' and 'noblock' with finally obsolete bit operations like this:
skb_recv_datagram(sk, flags & ~MSG_DONTWAIT, flags & MSG_DONTWAIT, &rc);
And this is not even done consistently with the 'flags' parameter.
This patch removes the obsolete and costly splitting into two parameters
and only performs bit operations when really needed on the caller side.

A latter patch will set the skb->mono_delivery_time to flag the skb->tstamp
is used as the mono delivery_time (EDT) instead of the (rcv) timestamp.
skb_clear_tstamp() will then keep this delivery_time during forwarding.
This patch is to make the network tapping (with af_packet) to handle
the delivery_time stored in skb->tstamp.
Regardless of tapping at the ingress or egress, the tapped skb is
received by the af_packet socket, so it is ingress to the af_packet
socket and it expects the (rcv) timestamp.
When tapping at egress, dev_queue_xmit_nit() is used. It has already
expected skb->tstamp may have delivery_time, so it does
skb_clone()+net_timestamp_set() to ensure the cloned skb has
the (rcv) timestamp before passing to the af_packet sk.
This patch only adds to clear the skb->mono_delivery_time
bit in net_timestamp_set().
When tapping at ingress, it currently expects the skb->tstamp is either 0
or the (rcv) timestamp. Meaning, the tapping at ingress path
has already expected the skb->tstamp could be 0 and it will get
the (rcv) timestamp by ktime_get_real() when needed.
There are two cases for tapping at ingress:
One case is af_packet queues the skb to its sk_receive_queue.
The skb is either not shared or new clone created. The newly
added skb_clear_delivery_time() is called to clear the
delivery_time (if any) and set the (rcv) timestamp if
needed before the skb is queued to the sk_receive_queue.
Another case, the ingress skb is directly copied to the rx_ring
and tpacket_get_timestamp() is used to get the (rcv) timestamp.
The newly added skb_tstamp() is used in tpacket_get_timestamp()
to check the skb->mono_delivery_time bit before returning skb->tstamp.
As mentioned earlier, the tapping@ingress has already expected
the skb may not have the (rcv) timestamp (because no sk has asked
for it) and has handled this case by directly calling ktime_get_real().

In one net namespace, after creating a packet socket without binding
it to a device, users in other net namespaces can observe the new
`packet_type` added by this packet socket by reading `/proc/net/ptype`
file. This is minor information leakage as packet socket is
namespace aware.
Add a net pointer in `packet_type` to keep the net namespace of
of corresponding packet socket. In `ptype_seq_show`, this net pointer
must be checked when it is not NULL.

sock.h is pretty heavily used (5k objects rebuilt on x86 after
it's touched). We can drop the include of filter.h from it and
add a forward declaration of struct sk_filter instead.
This decreases the number of rebuilt objects when bpf.h
is touched from ~5k to ~1k.
There's a lot of missing includes this was masking. Primarily
in networking tho, this time.

Packet sockets may switch ring versions. Avoid misinterpreting state
between versions, whose fields share a union. rx_owner_map is only
allocated with a packet ring (pg_vec) and both are swapped together.
If pg_vec is NULL, meaning no packet ring was allocated, then neither
was rx_owner_map. And the field may be old state from a tpacket_v3.

The "dev_has_header" function, recently added in
commit d549699048 ("net/packet: fix packet receive on L3 devices
without visible hard header"),
is more accurate as criteria for determining whether a device exposes
the LL header to upper layers, because in addition to dev->header_ops,
it also checks for dev->header_ops->create.
When transmitting an skb on a device, dev_hard_header can be called to
generate an LL header. dev_hard_header will only generate a header if
dev->header_ops->create is present.

proc_fs was used, in af_packet, without a surrounding #ifdef,
although there is no hard dependency on proc_fs.
That caused the initialization of the af_packet module to fail
when CONFIG_PROC_FS=n.
Specifically, proc_create_net() was used in af_packet.c,
and when it fails, packet_net_init() returns -ENOMEM.
It will always fail when the kernel is compiled without proc_fs,
because, proc_create_net() for example always returns NULL.
The calling order that starts in af_packet.c is as follows:
packet_init()
register_pernet_subsys()
register_pernet_operations()
__register_pernet_operations()
ops_init()
ops->init() (packet_net_ops.init=packet_net_init())
proc_create_net()
It worked in the past because register_pernet_subsys()'s return value
wasn't checked before this Commit 36096f2f4f ("packet: Fix error path in
packet_init.").
It always returned an error, but was not checked before, so everything
was working even when CONFIG_PROC_FS=n.
The fix here is simply to add the necessary #ifdef.
This also fixes a similar error in tls_proc.c, that was found by Jakub
Kicinski.

In the patchset merged by commit b9fcf0a0d8
("Merge branch 'support-AF_PACKET-for-layer-3-devices'") L3 devices which
did not have header_ops were given one for the purpose of protocol parsing
on af_packet transmit path.
That change made af_packet receive path regard these devices as having a
visible L3 header and therefore aligned incoming skb->data to point to the
skb's mac_header. Some devices, such as ipip, xfrmi, and others, do not
reset their mac_header prior to ingress and therefore their incoming
packets became malformed.
Ideally these devices would reset their mac headers, or af_packet would be
able to rely on dev->hard_header_len being 0 for such cases, but it seems
this is not the case.
Fix by changing af_packet RX ll visibility criteria to include the
existence of a '.create()' header operation, which is used when creating
a device hard header - via dev_hard_header() - by upper layers, and does
not exist in these L3 devices.
As this predicate may be useful in other situations, add it as a common
dev_has_header() helper in netdevice.h.

One use case of PACKET_FANOUT is lockless reception with one socket
per CPU. 256 is a practical limit on increasingly many machines.
Increase PACKET_FANOUT_MAX to 64K. Expand setsockopt PACKET_FANOUT to
take an extra argument max_num_members. Also explicitly define a
fanout_args struct, instead of implicitly casting to an integer. This
documents the API and simplifies the control flow.
If max_num_members is not specified or is set to 0, then 256 is used,

1. Change all "dev->hard_header" to "dev->header_ops"
2. On receiving incoming frames when header_ops == NULL:
The comment only says what is wrong, but doesn't say what is right.
This patch changes the comment to make it clear what is right.
3. On transmitting and receiving outgoing frames when header_ops == NULL:
The comment explains that the LL header will be later added by the driver.
However, I think it's better to simply say that the LL header is invisible
to us. This phrasing is better from a software engineering perspective,
because this makes it clear that what happens in the driver should be
hidden from us and we should not care about what happens internally in the
driver.
4. On resuming the LL header (for RAW frames) when header_ops == NULL:
The comment says we are "unlikely" to restore the LL header.
However, we should say that we are "unable" to restore it.
It's not possible (rather than not likely) to restore it, because:
1) There is no way for us to restore because the LL header internally
processed by the driver should be invisible to us.
2) In function packet_rcv and tpacket_rcv, the code only tries to restore
the LL header when header_ops != NULL.

This comment is outdated and no longer reflects the actual implementation
of af_packet.c.
Reasons for the new comment:
1.
In af_packet.c, the function packet_snd first reserves a headroom of
length (dev->hard_header_len + dev->needed_headroom).
Then if the socket is a SOCK_DGRAM socket, it calls dev_hard_header,
which calls dev->header_ops->create, to create the link layer header.
If the socket is a SOCK_RAW socket, it "un-reserves" a headroom of
length (dev->hard_header_len), and checks if the user has provided a
header sized between (dev->min_header_len) and (dev->hard_header_len)
(in dev_validate_header).
This shows the developers of af_packet.c expect hard_header_len to
be consistent with header_ops.
2.
In af_packet.c, the function packet_sendmsg_spkt has a FIXME comment.
That comment states that prepending an LL header internally in a driver
is considered a bug. I believe this bug can be fixed by setting
hard_header_len to 0, making the internal header completely invisible
to af_packet.c (and requesting the headroom in needed_headroom instead).
3.
There is a commit for a WiFi driver:
commit 9454f7a895 ("mwifiex: set needed_headroom, not hard_header_len")
According to the discussion about it at:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11407493/
The author tried to set the WiFi driver's hard_header_len to the Ethernet
header length, and request additional header space internally needed by
setting needed_headroom.
This means this usage is already adopted by driver developers.
