Merge tag 'net-next-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-nextgrafted
Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core:
- Add dedicated kmem_cache for typical/small skb->head, avoid having
to access struct page at kfree time, and improve memory use.
- Introduce sysctl to set default RPS configuration for new netdevs.
- Define Netlink protocol specification format which can be used to
describe messages used by each family and auto-generate parsers.
Add tools for generating kernel data structures and uAPI headers.
- Expose all net/core sysctls inside netns.
- Remove 4s sleep in netpoll if carrier is instantly detected on
boot.
- Add configurable limit of MDB entries per port, and port-vlan.
- Continue populating drop reasons throughout the stack.
- Retire a handful of legacy Qdiscs and classifiers.
Protocols:
- Support IPv4 big TCP (TSO frames larger than 64kB).
- Add IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE socket option, to control local port range
on socket by socket basis.
- Track and report in procfs number of MPTCP sockets used.
- Support mixing IPv4 and IPv6 flows in the in-kernel MPTCP path
manager.
- IPv6: don't check net.ipv6.route.max_size and rely on garbage
collection to free memory (similarly to IPv4).
- Support Penultimate Segment Pop (PSP) flavor in SRv6 (RFC8986).
- ICMP: add per-rate limit counters.
- Add support for user scanning requests in ieee802154.
- Remove static WEP support.
- Support minimal Wi-Fi 7 Extremely High Throughput (EHT) rate
reporting.
- WiFi 7 EHT channel puncturing support (client & AP).
BPF:
- Add a rbtree data structure following the "next-gen data structure"
precedent set by recently added linked list, that is, by using
kfunc + kptr instead of adding a new BPF map type.
- Expose XDP hints via kfuncs with initial support for RX hash and
timestamp metadata.
- Add BPF_F_NO_TUNNEL_KEY extension to bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key to
better support decap on GRE tunnel devices not operating in collect
metadata.
- Improve x86 JIT's codegen for PROBE_MEM runtime error checks.
- Remove the need for trace_printk_lock for bpf_trace_printk and
bpf_trace_vprintk helpers.
- Extend libbpf's bpf_tracing.h support for tracing arguments of
kprobes/uprobes and syscall as a special case.
- Significantly reduce the search time for module symbols by
livepatch and BPF.
- Enable cpumasks to be used as kptrs, which is useful for tracing
programs tracking which tasks end up running on which CPUs in
different time intervals.
- Add support for BPF trampoline on s390x and riscv64.
- Add capability to export the XDP features supported by the NIC.
- Add __bpf_kfunc tag for marking kernel functions as kfuncs.
- Add cgroup.memory=nobpf kernel parameter option to disable BPF
memory accounting for container environments.
Netfilter:
- Remove the CLUSTERIP target. It has been marked as obsolete for
years, and we still have WARN splats wrt races of the out-of-band
/proc interface installed by this target.
- Add 'destroy' commands to nf_tables. They are identical to the
existing 'delete' commands, but do not return an error if the
referenced object (set, chain, rule...) did not exist.
Driver API:
- Improve cpumask_local_spread() locality to help NICs set the right
IRQ affinity on AMD platforms.
- Separate C22 and C45 MDIO bus transactions more clearly.
- Introduce new DCB table to control DSCP rewrite on egress.
- Support configuration of Physical Layer Collision Avoidance (PLCA)
Reconciliation Sublayer (RS) (802.3cg-2019). Modern version of
shared medium Ethernet.
- Support for MAC Merge layer (IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99). Allowing
preemption of low priority frames by high priority frames.
- Add support for controlling MACSec offload using netlink SET.
- Rework devlink instance refcounts to allow registration and
de-registration under the instance lock. Split the code into
multiple files, drop some of the unnecessarily granular locks and
factor out common parts of netlink operation handling.
- Add TX frame aggregation parameters (for USB drivers).
- Add a new attr TCA_EXT_WARN_MSG to report TC (offload) warning
messages with notifications for debug.
- Allow offloading of UDP NEW connections via act_ct.
- Add support for per action HW stats in TC.
- Support hardware miss to TC action (continue processing in SW from
a specific point in the action chain).
- Warn if old Wireless Extension user space interface is used with
modern cfg80211/mac80211 drivers. Do not support Wireless
Extensions for Wi-Fi 7 devices at all. Everyone should switch to
using nl80211 interface instead.
- Improve the CAN bit timing configuration. Use extack to return
error messages directly to user space, update the SJW handling,
including the definition of a new default value that will benefit
CAN-FD controllers, by increasing their oscillator tolerance.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +=============== +Boot Interrupts +=============== + +:Author: - Sean V Kelley <sean.v.kelley@linux.intel.com> + +Overview +======== + +On PCI Express, interrupts are represented with either MSI or inbound +interrupt messages (Assert_INTx/Deassert_INTx). The integrated IO-APIC in a +given Core IO converts the legacy interrupt messages from PCI Express to +MSI interrupts. If the IO-APIC is disabled (via the mask bits in the +IO-APIC table entries), the messages are routed to the legacy PCH. This +in-band interrupt mechanism was traditionally necessary for systems that +did not support the IO-APIC and for boot. Intel in the past has used the +term "boot interrupts" to describe this mechanism. Further, the PCI Express +protocol describes this in-band legacy wire-interrupt INTx mechanism for +I/O devices to signal PCI-style level interrupts. The subsequent paragraphs +describe problems with the Core IO handling of INTx message routing to the +PCH and mitigation within BIOS and the OS. + + +Issue +===== + +When in-band legacy INTx messages are forwarded to the PCH, they in turn +trigger a new interrupt for which the OS likely lacks a handler. When an +interrupt goes unhandled over time, they are tracked by the Linux kernel as +Spurious Interrupts. The IRQ will be disabled by the Linux kernel after it +reaches a specific count with the error "nobody cared". This disabled IRQ +now prevents valid usage by an existing interrupt which may happen to share +the IRQ line:: + + irq 19: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) + CPU: 0 PID: 2988 Comm: irq/34-nipalk Tainted: 4.14.87-rt49-02410-g4a640ec-dirty #1 + Hardware name: National Instruments NI PXIe-8880/NI PXIe-8880, BIOS 2.1.5f1 01/09/2020 + Call Trace: + + <IRQ> + ? dump_stack+0x46/0x5e + ? __report_bad_irq+0x2e/0xb0 + ? note_interrupt+0x242/0x290 + ? nNIKAL100_memoryRead16+0x8/0x10 [nikal] + ? handle_irq_event_percpu+0x55/0x70 + ? handle_irq_event+0x4f/0x80 + ? handle_fasteoi_irq+0x81/0x180 + ? handle_irq+0x1c/0x30 + ? do_IRQ+0x41/0xd0 + ? common_interrupt+0x84/0x84 + </IRQ> + + handlers: + irq_default_primary_handler threaded usb_hcd_irq + Disabling IRQ #19 + + +Conditions +========== + +The use of threaded interrupts is the most likely condition to trigger +this problem today. Threaded interrupts may not be reenabled after the IRQ +handler wakes. These "one shot" conditions mean that the threaded interrupt +needs to keep the interrupt line masked until the threaded handler has run. +Especially when dealing with high data rate interrupts, the thread needs to +run to completion; otherwise some handlers will end up in stack overflows +since the interrupt of the issuing device is still active. + +Affected Chipsets +================= + +The legacy interrupt forwarding mechanism exists today in a number of +devices including but not limited to chipsets from AMD/ATI, Broadcom, and +Intel. Changes made through the mitigations below have been applied to +drivers/pci/quirks.c + +Starting with ICX there are no longer any IO-APICs in the Core IO's +devices. IO-APIC is only in the PCH. Devices connected to the Core IO's +PCIe Root Ports will use native MSI/MSI-X mechanisms. + +Mitigations +=========== + +The mitigations take the form of PCI quirks. The preference has been to +first identify and make use of a means to disable the routing to the PCH. +In such a case a quirk to disable boot interrupt generation can be +added. [1]_ + +Intel® 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub + Alternate Base Address Register: + BIE: Boot Interrupt Enable + + == =========================== + 0 Boot interrupt is enabled. + 1 Boot interrupt is disabled. + == =========================== + +Intel® Sandy Bridge through Sky Lake based Xeon servers: + Coherent Interface Protocol Interrupt Control + dis_intx_route2pch/dis_intx_route2ich/dis_intx_route2dmi2: + When this bit is set. Local INTx messages received from the + Intel® Quick Data DMA/PCI Express ports are not routed to legacy + PCH - they are either converted into MSI via the integrated IO-APIC + (if the IO-APIC mask bit is clear in the appropriate entries) + or cause no further action (when mask bit is set) + +In the absence of a way to directly disable the routing, another approach +has been to make use of PCI Interrupt pin to INTx routing tables for +purposes of redirecting the interrupt handler to the rerouted interrupt +line by default. Therefore, on chipsets where this INTx routing cannot be +disabled, the Linux kernel will reroute the valid interrupt to its legacy +interrupt. This redirection of the handler will prevent the occurrence of +the spurious interrupt detection which would ordinarily disable the IRQ +line due to excessive unhandled counts. [2]_ + +The config option X86_REROUTE_FOR_BROKEN_BOOT_IRQS exists to enable (or +disable) the redirection of the interrupt handler to the PCH interrupt +line. The option can be overridden by either pci=ioapicreroute or +pci=noioapicreroute. [3]_ + + +More Documentation +================== + +There is an overview of the legacy interrupt handling in several datasheets +(6300ESB and 6700PXH below).
