ixgbevf: fix mailbox API compatibility by negotiating supported features

There was backward compatibility in the terms of mailbox API. Various drivers from various OSes supporting 10G adapters from Intel portfolio could easily negotiate mailbox API.

This convention has been broken since introducing API 1.4. Commit 0062e7cc955e ("ixgbevf: add VF IPsec offload code") added support for IPSec which is specific only for the kernel ixgbe driver. None of the rest of the Intel 10G PF/VF drivers supports it. And actually lack of support was not included in the IPSec implementation - there were no such code paths. No possibility to negotiate support for the feature was introduced along with introduction of the feature itself.

Commit 339f28964147 ("ixgbevf: Add support for new mailbox communication between PF and VF") increasing API version to 1.5 did the same - it introduced code supported specifically by the PF ESX driver. It altered API version for the VF driver in the same time not touching the version defined for the PF ixgbe driver. It led to additional discrepancies, as the code provided within API 1.6 cannot be supported for Linux ixgbe driver as it causes crashes.

The issue was noticed some time ago and mitigated by Jake within the commit d0725312adf5 ("ixgbevf: stop attempting IPSEC offload on Mailbox API 1.5"). As a result we have regression for IPsec support and after increasing API to version 1.6 ixgb…

The Linux Kernel, the operating system core itself. Security Fix(es):

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfc: nci: Fix uninit-value in nci_rx_work

syzbot reported the following uninit-value access issue [1]

nci_rx_work() parses received packet from ndev->rx_q. It should be validated header size, payload size and total packet size before processing the packet. If an invalid packet is detected, it should be silently discarded.(CVE-2024-38381)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:net: ti: icssg_prueth: Fix NULL pointer dereference in prueth_probe()In the prueth_probe() function, if one of the calls to emac_phy_connect()fails due to of_phy_connect() returning NULL, then the subsequent call tophy_attached_info() will dereference a NULL pointer.Check the return code of emac_phy_connect and fail cleanly if there is anerror.(CVE-2024-38584)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:cpufreq: exit() callback is optionalThe exit() callback is optional and shouldn t be called without checkinga valid pointer first.Also, we must clear freq_table pointer even if the exit() callback isn tpresent.(CVE-2024-38615)
