Pull arm64 fixes from Catalin Marinas:
- Do not make a clean PTE dirty in pte_mkwrite()
The Arm architecture, for backwards compatibility reasons (ARMv8.0
before in-hardware dirty bit management - DBM), uses the PTE_RDONLY
bit to mean !dirty while the PTE_WRITE bit means DBM enabled. The
arm64 pte_mkwrite() simply clears the PTE_RDONLY bit and this
inadvertently makes the PTE pte_hw_dirty(). Most places making a PTE
writable also invoke pte_mkdirty() but do_swap_page() does not and we
end up with dirty, freshly swapped in, writeable pages.

This is an issue as shared->phydev is unconditionally being used when IRQ

vsock: fix lock inversion in vsock_assign_transport()
Syzbot reported a potential lock inversion deadlock between
vsock_register_mutex and sk_lock-AF_VSOCK when vsock_linger() is called.
The issue was introduced by commit 687aa0c5581b ("vsock: Fix
transport_* TOCTOU") which added vsock_register_mutex locking in
vsock_assign_transport() around the transport->release() call, that can
call vsock_linger(). vsock_assign_transport() can be called with sk_lock
held. vsock_linger() calls sk_wait_event() that temporarily releases and
re-acquires sk_lock. During this window, if another thread hold
vsock_register_mutex while trying to acquire sk_lock, a circular
dependency is created.
Fix this by releasing vsock_register_mutex before calling
transport->release() and vsock_deassign_transport(). This is safe
because we don't need to hold vsock_register_mutex while releasing the
old transport, and we ensure the new transport won't disappear by
obtaining a module reference first via try_module_get().

Merge branch 'fix-poll-behaviour-for-tcp-based-tunnel-protocols'
Ralf Lici says:
====================
fix poll behaviour for TCP-based tunnel protocols
This patch series introduces a polling function for datagram-style
sockets that operates on custom skb queues, and updates ovpn (the
OpenVPN data-channel offload module) and espintcp (the TCP Encapsulation
of IKE and IPsec Packets implementation) to use it accordingly.
Protocols like the aforementioned one decapsulate packets received over
TCP and deliver userspace-bound data through a separate skb queue, not
the standard sk_receive_queue. Previously, both relied on
datagram_poll(), which would signal readiness based on non-userspace
packets, leading to misleading poll results and unnecessary recv
attempts in userspace.
[13 lines not shown]
ovpn: use datagram_poll_queue for socket readiness in TCP
openvpn TCP encapsulation uses a custom queue to deliver packets to
userspace. Currently it relies on datagram_poll, which checks
sk_receive_queue, leading to false readiness signals when that queue
contains non-userspace packets.
Switch ovpn_tcp_poll to use datagram_poll_queue with the peer's
user_queue, ensuring poll only signals readiness when userspace data is
actually available. Also refactor ovpn_tcp_poll in order to enforce the
assumption we can make on the lifetime of ovpn_sock and peer.

Introduce datagram_poll_queue that accepts an explicit receive queue,

logic without relying on sk_receive_queue.

net: ravb: Fix SoC-specific configuration and descriptor handling issues [part]

A potential ordering hazard in descriptor setup could cause
the DMA engine to start prematurely, leading to TX stalls on some
platforms.
The series includes the following changes:
Enforce descriptor type ordering to prevent early DMA start
Ensure proper write ordering of TX descriptor type fields to prevent the
DMA engine from observing an incomplete descriptor chain. This fixes
[7 lines not shown]
net: ravb: Ensure memory write completes before ringing TX doorbell
Add a final dma_wmb() barrier before triggering the transmit request
(TCCR_TSRQ) to ensure all descriptor and buffer writes are visible to
the DMA engine.
According to the hardware manual, a read-back operation is required
before writing to the doorbell register to guarantee completion of
previous writes. Instead of performing a dummy read, a dma_wmb() is
used to both enforce the same ordering semantics on the CPU side and
also to ensure completion of writes.

net: ravb: Enforce descriptor type ordering
Ensure the TX descriptor type fields are published in a safe order so the
DMA engine never begins processing a descriptor chain before all descriptor
fields are fully initialised.
For multi-descriptor transmits the driver writes DT_FEND into the last
descriptor and DT_FSTART into the first. The DMA engine begins processing
when it observes DT_FSTART. Move the dma_wmb() barrier so it executes
immediately after DT_FEND and immediately before writing DT_FSTART
(and before DT_FSINGLE in the single-descriptor case). This guarantees
that all prior CPU writes to the descriptor memory are visible to the
device before DT_FSTART is seen.
This avoids a situation where compiler/CPU reordering could publish
DT_FSTART ahead of DT_FEND or other descriptor fields, allowing the DMA to
start on a partially initialised chain and causing corrupted transmissions
or TX timeouts. Such a failure was observed on RZ/G2L with an RT kernel as
transmit queue timeouts and device resets.
