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 + +================= +PCI NTB Function +================= + +:Author: Kishon Vijay Abraham I <kishon@ti.com> + +PCI Non-Transparent Bridges (NTB) allow two host systems to communicate +with each other by exposing each host as a device to the other host. +NTBs typically support the ability to generate interrupts on the remote +machine, expose memory ranges as BARs, and perform DMA. They also support +scratchpads, which are areas of memory within the NTB that are accessible +from both machines. + +PCI NTB Function allows two different systems (or hosts) to communicate +with each other by configuring the endpoint instances in such a way that +transactions from one system are routed to the other system. + +In the below diagram, PCI NTB function configures the SoC with multiple +PCI Endpoint (EP) instances in such a way that transactions from one EP +controller are routed to the other EP controller. Once PCI NTB function +configures the SoC with multiple EP instances, HOST1 and HOST2 can +communicate with each other using SoC as a bridge. + +.. code-block:: text + + +-------------+ +-------------+ + | | | | + | HOST1 | | HOST2 | + | | | | + +------^------+ +------^------+ + | | + | | + +---------|-------------------------------------------------|---------+ + | +------v------+ +------v------+ | + | | | | | | + | | EP | | EP | | + | | CONTROLLER1 | | CONTROLLER2 | | + | | <-----------------------------------> | | + | | | | | | + | | | | | | + | | | SoC With Multiple EP Instances | | | + | | | (Configured using NTB Function) | | | + | +-------------+ +-------------+ | + +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ + +Constructs used for Implementing NTB +==================================== + + 1) Config Region + 2) Self Scratchpad Registers + 3) Peer Scratchpad Registers + 4) Doorbell (DB) Registers + 5) Memory Window (MW) + + +Config Region: +-------------- + +Config Region is a construct that is specific to NTB implemented using NTB +Endpoint Function Driver. The host and endpoint side NTB function driver will +exchange information with each other using this region. Config Region has +Control/Status Registers for configuring the Endpoint Controller. Host can +write into this region for configuring the outbound Address Translation Unit +(ATU) and to indicate the link status. Endpoint can indicate the status of +commands issued by host in this region. Endpoint can also indicate the +scratchpad offset and number of memory windows to the host using this region. + +The format of Config Region is given below. All the fields here are 32 bits. + +.. code-block:: text + + +------------------------+ + | COMMAND | + +------------------------+ + | ARGUMENT | + +------------------------+ + | STATUS | + +------------------------+ + | TOPOLOGY | + +------------------------+ + | ADDRESS (LOWER 32) | + +------------------------+ + | ADDRESS (UPPER 32) | + +------------------------+ + | SIZE | + +------------------------+ + | NO OF MEMORY WINDOW | + +------------------------+ + | MEMORY WINDOW1 OFFSET | + +------------------------+ + | SPAD OFFSET | + +------------------------+ + | SPAD COUNT | + +------------------------+ + | DB ENTRY SIZE | + +------------------------+ + | DB DATA | + +------------------------+ + | : | + +------------------------+ + | : | + +------------------------+ + | DB DATA | + +------------------------+ + + + COMMAND: + + NTB function supports three commands: + + CMD_CONFIGURE_DOORBELL (0x1): Command to configure doorbell. Before + invoking this command, the host should allocate and initialize + MSI/MSI-X vectors (i.e., initialize the MSI/MSI-X Capability in the + Endpoint). The endpoint on receiving this command will configure + the outbound ATU such that transactions to Doorbell BAR will be routed + to the MSI/MSI-X address programmed by the host. The ARGUMENT + register should be populated with number of DBs to configure (in the + lower 16 bits) and if MSI or MSI-X should be configured (BIT 16). + + CMD_CONFIGURE_MW (0x2): Command to configure memory window (MW). The + host invokes this command after allocating a buffer that can be + accessed by remote host. The allocated address should be programmed + in the ADDRESS register (64 bit), the size should be programmed in + the SIZE register and the memory window index should be programmed + in the ARGUMENT register. The endpoint on receiving this command + will configure the outbound ATU such that transactions to MW BAR + are routed to the address provided by the host. + + CMD_LINK_UP (0x3): Command to indicate an NTB application is + bound to the EP device on the host side. Once the endpoint + receives this command from both the hosts, the endpoint will + raise a LINK_UP event to both the hosts to indicate the host + NTB applications can start communicating with each other. + + ARGUMENT: + + The value of this register is based on the commands issued in + command register. See COMMAND section for more information. + + TOPOLOGY: + + Set to NTB_TOPO_B2B_USD for Primary interface + Set to NTB_TOPO_B2B_DSD for Secondary interface + + ADDRESS/SIZE: + + Address and Size to be used while configuring the memory window. + See "CMD_CONFIGURE_MW" for more info. + + MEMORY WINDOW1 OFFSET: + + Memory Window 1 and Doorbell registers are packed together in the + same BAR. The initial portion of the region will have doorbell + registers and the latter portion of the region is for memory window 1. + This register will specify the offset of the memory window 1. + + NO OF MEMORY WINDOW: + + Specifies the number of memory windows supported by the NTB device. + + SPAD OFFSET: + + Self scratchpad region and config region are packed together in the + same BAR. The initial portion of the region will have config region + and the latter portion of the region is for self scratchpad. This + register will specify the offset of the self scratchpad registers. + + SPAD COUNT: + + Specifies the number of scratchpad registers supported by the NTB + device. + + DB ENTRY SIZE: + + Used to determine the offset within the DB BAR that should be written + in order to raise doorbell. EPF NTB can use either MSI or MSI-X to + ring doorbell (MSI-X support will be added later). MSI uses same + address for all the interrupts and MSI-X can provide different + addresses for different interrupts. The MSI/MSI-X address is provided + by the host and the address it gives is based on the MSI/MSI-X + implementation supported by the host. For instance, ARM platform + using GIC ITS will have the same MSI-X address for all the interrupts. + In order to support all the combinations and use the same mechanism + for both MSI and MSI-X, EPF NTB allocates a separate region in the + Outbound Address Space for each of the interrupts. This region will + be mapped to the MSI/MSI-X address provided by the host. If a host + provides the same address for all the interrupts, all the regions + will be translated to the same address. If a host provides different + addresses, the regions will be translated to different addresses. This + will ensure there is no difference while raising the doorbell. + + DB DATA: + + EPF NTB supports 32 interrupts, so there are 32 DB DATA registers. + This holds the MSI/MSI-X data that has to be written to MSI address + for raising doorbell interrupt. This will be populated by EPF NTB + while invoking CMD_CONFIGURE_DOORBELL. + +Scratchpad Registers: +--------------------- + + Each host has its own register space allocated in the memory of NTB endpoint + controller. They are both readable and writable from both sides of the bridge. + They are used by applications built over NTB and can be used to pass control + and status information between both sides of a device. + + Scratchpad registers has 2 parts + 1) Self Scratchpad: Host's own register space + 2) Peer Scratchpad: Remote host's register space. + +Doorbell Registers: +------------------- + + Doorbell Registers are used by the hosts to interrupt each other. + +Memory Window: +-------------- + + Actual transfer of data between the two hosts will happen using the + memory window. + +Modeling Constructs: +==================== + +There are 5 or more distinct regions (config, self scratchpad, peer +scratchpad, doorbell, one or more memory windows) to be modeled to achieve +NTB functionality. At least one memory window is required while more than +one is permitted. All these regions should be mapped to BARs for hosts to +access these regions. + +If one 32-bit BAR is allocated for each of these regions, the scheme would +look like this: + +====== =============== +BAR NO CONSTRUCTS USED +====== =============== +BAR0 Config Region +BAR1 Self Scratchpad +BAR2 Peer Scratchpad +BAR3 Doorbell +BAR4 Memory Window 1 +BAR5 Memory Window 2 +====== =============== + +However if we allocate a separate BAR for each of the regions, there would not +be enough BARs for all the regions in a platform that supports only 64-bit +BARs. + +In order to be supported by most of the platforms, the regions should be +packed and mapped to BARs in a way that provides NTB functionality and +also makes sure the host doesn't access any region that it is not supposed +to. + +The following scheme is used in EPF NTB Function: + +====== =============================== +BAR NO CONSTRUCTS USED +====== =============================== +BAR0 Config Region + Self Scratchpad +BAR1 Peer Scratchpad +BAR2 Doorbell + Memory Window 1 +BAR3 Memory Window 2 +BAR4 Memory Window 3 +BAR5 Memory Window 4 +====== =============================== + +With this scheme, for the basic NTB functionality 3 BARs should be sufficient. + +Modeling Config/Scratchpad Region: +---------------------------------- + +.. code-block:: text + + +-----------------+------->+------------------+ +-----------------+ + | BAR0 | | CONFIG REGION | | BAR0 | + +-----------------+----+ +------------------+<-------+-----------------+ + | BAR1 | | |SCRATCHPAD REGION | | BAR1 | + +-----------------+ +-->+------------------+<-------+-----------------+ + | BAR2 | Local Memory | BAR2 | + +-----------------+ +-----------------+ + | BAR3 | | BAR3 | + +-----------------+ +-----------------+ + | BAR4 | | BAR4 | + +-----------------+ +-----------------+ + | BAR5 | | BAR5 | + +-----------------+ +-----------------+ + EP CONTROLLER 1 EP CONTROLLER 2 + +Above diagram shows Config region + Scratchpad region for HOST1 (connected to +EP controller 1) allocated in local memory.

Here doorbell and +memory window 1 regions are allocated in EP controller 2 outbound (OB) address +space. Allocating and configuring BARs for doorbell and memory window1 +is done during the initialization phase of NTB endpoint function driver. +Mapping from EP controller 2 OB space to PCI address space is done when HOST2 +sends CMD_CONFIGURE_MW/CMD_CONFIGURE_DOORBELL. + +Modeling Optional Memory Windows: +--------------------------------- + +This is modeled the same was as MW1 but each of the additional memory windows +is mapped to separate BARs. |
