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.
One missing conversion thankfully reported by kernel test robot. I missed
to enable kunit tests to build the mctp code.

When the link layer is terminating, x25->neighbour will be set to NULL
in x25_disconnect(). As a result, it could cause null-ptr-deref bugs in
x25_sendmsg(),x25_recvmsg() and x25_connect(). One of the bugs is
shown below.
(Thread 1) | (Thread 2)
x25_link_terminated() | x25_recvmsg()
x25_kill_by_neigh() | ...
x25_disconnect() | lock_sock(sk)
... | ...
x25->neighbour = NULL //(1) |
... | x25->neighbour->extended //(2)
The code sets NULL to x25->neighbour in position (1) and dereferences
x25->neighbour in position (2), which could cause null-ptr-deref bug.
This patch adds lock_sock() in x25_kill_by_neigh() in order to synchronize
with x25_sendmsg(), x25_recvmsg() and x25_connect(). What`s more, the
sock held by lock_sock() is not NULL, because it is extracted from x25_list
and uses x25_list_lock to synchronize.

According to the X.25 documentation, there was a plan to implement

may be better to remove those code stubs.
Also change the documentation to make it clear that this is not a ongoing

The .x25_addr[] address comes from the user and is not necessarily
NUL terminated. This leads to a couple problems. The first problem is
that the strlen() in x25_bind() can read beyond the end of the buffer.
The second problem is more subtle and could result in memory corruption.
The call tree is:
x25_connect()
--> x25_write_internal()
--> x25_addr_aton()
The .x25_addr[] buffers are copied to the "addresses" buffer from
x25_write_internal() so it will lead to stack corruption.
Verify that the strings are NUL terminated and return -EINVAL if they
are not.

This change is needed so that the x25_neigh struct for an interface
is already created when it shows up and is kept independently if the
interface goes UP or DOWN.
This is used in an upcomming commit, where x25 params of an neighbour
will get configurable through ioctls.
2. NETDEV_CHANGE event makes it possible to handle carrier loss and
detection. If carrier is lost, clean up everything related to this
neighbour by calling x25_link_terminated().
3. Also call x25_link_terminated() for NETDEV_DOWN events and remove the
call to x25_clear_forward_by_dev() in x25_route_device_down(), as
this is already called by x25_kill_by_neigh() which gets called by
x25_link_terminated().
4. Do nothing for NETDEV_UP and NETDEV_GOING_DOWN events, as these will
be handled in layer 2 (LAPB) and layer3 (X.25) will be informed by
layer2 when layer2 link is established and layer3 link should be
initiated.

The x25_disconnect function in x25_subr.c would decrease the refcount of
"x25->neighbour" (struct x25_neigh) and reset this pointer to NULL.
However, the x25_rx_call_request function in af_x25.c, which is called
when we receive a connection request, does not increase the refcount when
it assigns the pointer.
Fix this issue by increasing the refcount of "struct x25_neigh" in
x25_rx_call_request.

x25_connect() invokes x25_get_neigh(), which returns a reference of the
specified x25_neigh object to "x25->neighbour" with increased refcnt.
When x25 connect success and returns, the reference still be hold by
"x25->neighbour", so the refcount should be decreased in
x25_disconnect() to keep refcount balanced.
The reference counting issue happens in x25_disconnect(), which forgets
to decrease the refcnt increased by x25_get_neigh() in x25_connect(),
causing a refcnt leak.
Fix this issue by calling x25_neigh_put() before x25_disconnect()

This patch fixes 2 issues in x25_connect():
1. It makes absolutely no sense to reset the neighbour and the
connection state after a (successful) nonblocking call of x25_connect.
This prevents any connection from being established, since the response
(call accept) cannot be processed.
2. Any further calls to x25_connect() while a call is pending should
simply return, instead of creating new Call Request (on different
logical channels).
This patch should also fix the "KASAN: null-ptr-deref Write in

sk_add_backlog() callers usually read sk->sk_rcvbuf without
owning the socket lock. This means sk_rcvbuf value can
be changed by other cpus, and KCSAN complains.
Add READ_ONCE() annotations to document the lockless nature
of these reads.
Note that writes over sk_rcvbuf should also use WRITE_ONCE(),
but this will be done in separate patches to ease stable
backports (if we decide this is relevant for stable trees).

The SIOCGSTAMP/SIOCGSTAMPNS ioctl commands are implemented by many
socket protocol handlers, and all of those end up calling the same
sock_get_timestamp()/sock_get_timestampns() helper functions, which
results in a lot of duplicate code.
With the introduction of 64-bit time_t on 32-bit architectures, this
gets worse, as we then need four different ioctl commands in each
socket protocol implementation.
To simplify that, let's add a new .gettstamp() operation in
struct proto_ops, and move ioctl implementation into the common
sock_ioctl()/compat_sock_ioctl_trans() functions that these all go
through.
We can reuse the sock_get_timestamp() implementation, but generalize
it so it can deal with both native and compat mode, as well as
timeval and timespec structures.

The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely
unexplained. They also caused a huge performance regression, because
"->poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down
to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect
calls.
Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the
performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the
"->get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer
to the poll head instead. That gets rid of one of the new indirections.
But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted
for the regular case. The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes
was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case
slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all
really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental
redesign.
