[PATCH net-next 0/3] net: prevent lockless data races in net_device TC structures

This patch series resolves lockless data races between fast-path packet
processing / qdisc schedulers (e.g. taprio advance_sched(), XPS queue
lookups, skb_tx_hash()) and control-path updates modifying traffic class
configurations on a net_device.

syzbot / KCSAN reported a data-race between advance_sched() reading
dev->num_tc in netdev_get_num_tc() and control-path updates writing
dev->num_tc in netdev_set_num_tc():

  ==================================================================

Further inspection of the TC metadata structures on struct net_device
revealed three separate issues under concurrent lockless access:

1. struct netdev_tc_txq holds adjacent 16-bit offset and count fields
   that are written separately in netdev_set_tc_queue() (and cleared
   via memset() during reset), allowing lockless readers in fast-path
   helpers and drivers to observe torn/inconsistent states. This is fixed
   in Patch 1 by wrapping count and offset in a union with a u32
   combined field manipulated atomically via READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE().

2. dev->num_tc is read locklessly in fast-path lookups and timer
   interrupts without READ_ONCE() annotations, while control paths modify
   it using plain writes. Patch 2 adds READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()
   annotations across core networking code and drivers.

3. dev->prio_tc_map is similarly read locklessly in fast-path helpers
   such as skb_tx_hash() while control paths update entries or clear the
   map via memset(). Patch 3 adds READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() annotations
   to netdev_get_prio_tc_map() and netdev_set_prio_tc_map() and replaces
   memset() with explicit atomic store loops.
