netpoll_wait_carrier() waits for the egress device carrier during
netconsole setup. Its only caller, netcons_netpoll_setup(), already
lives in netconsole. Move the function into drivers/net/netconsole.c,
drop EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() and remove the prototype from <linux/netpoll.h>.
Rename it to netcons_wait_carrier() for the netcons_ prefix. It now reads
the timeout through netpoll_get_carrier_timeout(), since carrier_timeout
stays in netpoll to keep the netpoll.carrier_timeout parameter.

With netpoll_setup() and the packet-building path now living in
netconsole, local_ip, remote_ip and ipv6 in struct netpoll are read
and written only by netconsole. No other netpoll user touches them.
Move the three fields into netconsole_target and switch the packet
builders and setup helpers to take the target instead of the netpoll
handle. struct netpoll is left holding only the device-binding state
that the shared netpoll transport needs.

Temporarily export leaf functions that will be moved to netconsole.
The upcoming patch will move the setup function to netconsole, and
continue to call these leaf functions here in netpoll, then other
patches will move these exports functions to netconsole (and make them
statics).
In summary, these exports are temporary in order to make the patchset

netpoll_wait_carrier() is only used in netconsole, and it will move to
netconsole.
The carrier_timeout module parameter has to stay in netpoll so the
existing netpoll.carrier_timeout kernel parameter keeps working for
current users, and we don't break user compatibility.
Add a netpoll_get_carrier_timeout() accessor and export it so netconsole
can read the value once the carrier wait lives there. Drop the now
redundant timeout argument from netpoll_wait_carrier() (its only caller
passed carrier_timeout) and read the parameter directly while the helper
still lives here.

Every helper that touches them lives in netconsole now (refill_skbs,
refill_skbs_work_handler, netconsole_skb_pool_init,

refill_skbs() is now only called from netconsole (directly via

MAX_UDP_CHUNK and MAX_SKB_SIZE were promoted to <linux/netpoll.h>

against the same value refill_skbs() used. With both functions now

These three helpers manage the per-netpoll fallback skb pool. They
are file-static today because all of their callers live in
net/core/netpoll.c. Subsequent patches relocate the pool's owner
from struct netpoll to the only consumer that actually uses it
(netconsole), and that work needs netconsole to drive the helpers
directly while the function bodies still live here.
Drop static, add prototypes in <linux/netpoll.h>, and
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() each. No behaviour change.
The exports are transitional. Each helper is moved into
drivers/net/netconsole.c later in this series, and at that point
its EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() and prototype are dropped. By the end of
the series no symbol introduced here remains exported.
The goal of this patch is to make the subsequente patches easy to
review.

find_skb() falls back to np->skb_pool when the GFP_ATOMIC alloc_skb()
fails. The pool is refilled by refill_skbs(), which always allocates
buffers of MAX_SKB_SIZE (ethhdr + iphdr + udphdr + MAX_UDP_CHUNK ==
1502 bytes).
netconsole, however, computes the requested length dynamically as
total_len + np->dev->needed_tailroom
If the egress device declares a non-zero needed_tailroom (e.g. some
tunnel or hardware accelerator devices), the required length can exceed
MAX_SKB_SIZE. The pooled skb is then handed back to the caller, which
immediately performs skb_put(skb, len), trips the tail > end check, and
triggers skb_over_panic().
Leave the normal alloc_skb(len, GFP_ATOMIC) path untouched -- the slab
allocator can still satisfy oversized requests when memory is available,
so senders to devices with non-zero needed_tailroom keep working in the
common case. Only the pool fallback is gated: when alloc_skb() failed
and len exceeds the pool buffer size, skip the skb_dequeue() instead of
burning a pre-allocated skb on a request that would later trip
skb_over_panic(). Reserving pool entries for requests they can actually
satisfy also keeps the panic path, which depends on the pool being
primed, intact.
When that drop happens, emit a rate-limited net_warn() so the user
notices that netconsole is unable to push messages on the egress device.
The warn is skipped under in_nmi() for the same reason schedule_work()
is: printk machinery taken by net_warn_ratelimited() is not NMI-safe and
would risk recursing into the same nbcon console we are servicing.
MAX_SKB_SIZE / MAX_UDP_CHUNK were private to net/core/netpoll.c. Move
them to include/linux/netpoll.h so netconsole can reference the same
definition that refill_skbs() uses, keeping the two in sync by
construction. The header now pulls in <linux/ip.h> and <linux/udp.h>
explicitly so MAX_SKB_SIZE remains self-contained for any future user.

find_skb() is the netconsole-specific entry into the netpoll skb
pool: every other netpoll consumer (bonding, team, vlan, bridge,
macvlan, dsa) builds its own sk_buff and never touches the pool.
With netpoll_send_udp() (its only caller) now living in netconsole,
find_skb() can join it.
Move find_skb() into drivers/net/netconsole.c as a file-static
helper, drop EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(find_skb) and remove its prototype
from include/linux/netpoll.h. find_skb() drains TX completions via
netpoll_zap_completion_queue(), which is already exported in the
NETDEV_INTERNAL namespace, so netconsole picks up
MODULE_IMPORT_NS("NETDEV_INTERNAL") to consume it.
The skb pool's lifecycle (np->skb_pool, np->refill_wq, refill_skbs(),
refill_skbs_work_handler(), skb_pool_flush()) stays in netpoll: it
is initialised in __netpoll_setup() and torn down in
__netpoll_cleanup(), both of which remain netpoll's responsibility.
The refill work queued via schedule_work(&np->refill_wq) from the
moved find_skb() runs refill_skbs_work_handler() in netpoll without
any further plumbing.
This is pure code motion: the function body is unchanged and its
sole caller (netpoll_send_udp(), already moved by an earlier patch)
keeps invoking it the same way. Pre-existing concerns about
find_skb() running from NMI/printk context (zap_completion_queue()
re-entry, skb_pool spinlocks, GFP_ATOMIC allocation, fallback skb
sizing vs. MAX_SKB_SIZE, PREEMPT_RT semantics of __kfree_skb()) are
inherited as-is and are not addressed here; they predate this
series and are out of scope. Fixing them is left for follow-up
work.

Move netpoll_parse_ip_addr() and netpoll_parse_options() from the generic
netpoll module to the netconsole module where they are actually used.
These functions were originally placed in netpoll but are only consumed by
netconsole. This refactoring improves code organization by:
- Removing unnecessary exported symbols from netpoll
- Making netpoll_parse_options() static (no longer needs global visibility)
- Reducing coupling between netpoll and netconsole modules
The functions remain functionally identical - this is purely a code
reorganization to better reflect their actual usage patterns. Here are
the changes:
1) Move both functions from netpoll to netconsole
2) Add static to netpoll_parse_options()
3) Removed the EXPORT_SYMBOL()
PS: This diff does not change the function format, so, it is easy to
review, but, checkpatch will not be happy. A follow-up patch will
address the current issues reported by checkpatch.

Currently, netconsole has two methods of configuration - module
parameter and configfs. The former interface allows for netconsole
activation earlier during boot (by specifying the module parameter on
the kernel command line), so it is preferred for debugging issues which
arise before userspace is up/the configfs interface can be used. The
module parameter syntax requires specifying the egress interface name.
This requirement makes it hard to use for a couple reasons:
- The egress interface name can be hard or impossible to predict. For
example, installing a new network card in a system can change the
interface names assigned by the kernel.
- When constructing the module parameter, one may have trouble
determining the original (kernel-assigned) name of the interface
(which is the name that should be given to netconsole) if some stable
interface naming scheme is in effect. A human can usually look at
kernel logs to determine the original name, but this is very painful
if automation is constructing the parameter.
For these reasons, allow selection of the egress interface via MAC
address when configuring netconsole using the module parameter. Update
the netconsole documentation with an example of the new syntax.
Selection of egress interface by MAC address via configfs is far less
interesting (since when this interface can be used, one should be able
to easily convert between MAC address and interface name), so it is left
unimplemented.

netpoll tries to refill the skb queue on every packet send, independently
if packets are being consumed from the pool or not. This was
particularly problematic while being called from printk(), where the
operation would be done while holding the console lock.
Introduce a more intelligent approach to skb queue management. Instead
of constantly attempting to refill the queue, the system now defers
refilling to a work queue and only triggers the workqueue when a buffer
is actually dequeued. This change significantly reduces operations with
the lock held.
Add a work_struct to the netpoll structure for asynchronous refilling,
updating find_skb() to schedule refill work only when necessary (skb is
dequeued).
These changes have demonstrated a 15% reduction in time spent during
netpoll_send_msg operations, especially when no SKBs are not consumed
from consumed from pool.
When SKBs are being dequeued, the improvement is even better, around
70%, mainly because refilling the SKB pool is now happening outside of
the critical patch (with console_owner lock held).

netpoll_send_udp can return if send was successful.
It will allow client code to be aware of the send status.
Possible return values are the result of __netpoll_send_skb (cast to int)
and -ENOMEM. This doesn't cover the case when TX was not successful
instantaneously and was scheduled for later, __netpoll__send_skb returns
success in that case.

The ndev->npinfo pointer in netpoll_poll_lock() is RCU-protected but is
being accessed directly for a NULL check. While no RCU read lock is held
in this context, we should still use proper RCU primitives for
consistency and correctness.
Replace the direct NULL check with rcu_access_pointer(), which is the
appropriate primitive when only checking for NULL without dereferencing
the pointer. This function provides the necessary ordering guarantees
without requiring RCU read-side protection.

The current implementation of the netpoll system uses a global skb
pool, which can lead to inefficient memory usage and
waste when targets are disabled or no longer in use.
This can result in a significant amount of memory being unnecessarily
allocated and retained, potentially causing performance issues and
limiting the availability of resources for other system components.
Modify the netpoll system to assign a skb pool to each target instead of
using a global one.
This approach allows for more fine-grained control over memory
allocation and deallocation, ensuring that resources are only allocated
and retained as needed.

Extract the core part of netpoll_cleanup(), so, it could be called from
a caller that has the rtnl lock already.
Netconsole uses this in a weird way right now:
__netpoll_cleanup(&nt->np);
spin_lock_irqsave(&target_list_lock, flags);
netdev_put(nt->np.dev, &nt->np.dev_tracker);
nt->np.dev = NULL;
nt->enabled = false;
This will be replaced by do_netpoll_cleanup() as the locking situation
is overhauled.

This fixes a problem introduced by:
commit 2cde6acd49da ("netpoll: Fix __netpoll_rcu_free so that it can hold the rtnl lock")
When using netconsole on a bond, __netpoll_cleanup can asynchronously
recurse multiple times, each __netpoll_free_async call can result in
more __netpoll_free_async's. This means there is now a race between
cleanup_work queues on multiple netpoll_info's on multiple devices and
the configuration of a new netpoll. For example if a netconsole is set
to enable 0, reconfigured, and enable 1 immediately, this netconsole
will likely not work.
Given the reason for __netpoll_free_async is it can be called when rtnl
is not locked, if it is locked, we should be able to execute
synchronously. It appears to be locked everywhere it's called from.
Generalize the design pattern from the teaming driver for current
callers of __netpoll_free_async.

As diagnosed by Song Liu, ndo_poll_controller() can
be very dangerous on loaded hosts, since the cpu
calling ndo_poll_controller() might steal all NAPI
contexts (for all RX/TX queues of the NIC). This capture
can last for unlimited amount of time, since one
cpu is generally not able to drain all the queues under load.
It seems that all networking drivers that do use NAPI
for their TX completions, should not provide a ndo_poll_controller().
NAPI drivers have netpoll support already handled
in core networking stack, since netpoll_poll_dev()
uses poll_napi(dev) to iterate through registered
NAPI contexts for a device.
This patch allows netpoll_poll_dev() to process NAPI
contexts even for drivers not providing ndo_poll_controller(),
allowing for following patches in NAPI drivers.
Also we export netpoll_poll_dev() so that it can be called
by bonding/team drivers in following patches.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Callers of netpoll_poll_lock() own NAPI_STATE_SCHED
Callers of netpoll_poll_unlock() have BH blocked between
the NAPI_STATE_SCHED being cleared and poll_lock is released.
We can avoid the spinlock which has no contention, and use cmpxchg()
on poll_owner which we need to set anyway.
This removes a possible lockdep violation after the cited commit,
since sk_busy_loop() re-enables BH before calling busy_poll_stop()
