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.

Please see, especially, recommended +tunings for virtual memory: + + http://support.coraid.com/support/linux/EtherDrive-2.6-HOWTO-5.html#ss5.19 + +The aoetools are userland programs that are designed to work with this +driver. The aoetools are on sourceforge. + + http://aoetools.sourceforge.net/ + +The scripts in this Documentation/admin-guide/aoe directory are intended to +document the use of the driver and are not necessary if you install +the aoetools. + + +Creating Device Nodes +===================== + + Users of udev should find the block device nodes created + automatically, but to create all the necessary device nodes, use the + udev configuration rules provided in udev.txt (in this directory). + + There is a udev-install.sh script that shows how to install these + rules on your system. + + There is also an autoload script that shows how to edit + /etc/modprobe.d/aoe.conf to ensure that the aoe module is loaded when + necessary. Preloading the aoe module is preferable to autoloading, + however, because AoE discovery takes a few seconds. It can be + confusing when an AoE device is not present the first time the a + command is run but appears a second later. + +Using Device Nodes +================== + + "cat /dev/etherd/err" blocks, waiting for error diagnostic output, + like any retransmitted packets. + + "echo eth2 eth4 > /dev/etherd/interfaces" tells the aoe driver to + limit ATA over Ethernet traffic to eth2 and eth4. AoE traffic from + untrusted networks should be ignored as a matter of security. See + also the aoe_iflist driver option described below. + + "echo > /dev/etherd/discover" tells the driver to find out what AoE + devices are available. + + In the future these character devices may disappear and be replaced + by sysfs counterparts. Using the commands in aoetools insulates + users from these implementation details. + + The block devices are named like this:: + + e{shelf}.{slot} + e{shelf}.{slot}p{part} + + ... so that "e0.2" is the third blade from the left (slot 2) in the + first shelf (shelf address zero). That's the whole disk. The first + partition on that disk would be "e0.2p1". + +Using sysfs +=========== + + Each aoe block device in /sys/block has the extra attributes of + state, mac, and netif. The state attribute is "up" when the device + is ready for I/O and "down" if detected but unusable. The + "down,closewait" state shows that the device is still open and + cannot come up again until it has been closed. + + The mac attribute is the ethernet address of the remote AoE device. + The netif attribute is the network interface on the localhost + through which we are communicating with the remote AoE device. + + There is a script in this directory that formats this information in + a convenient way. Users with aoetools should use the aoe-stat + command:: + + root@makki root# sh Documentation/admin-guide/aoe/status.sh + e10.0 eth3 up + e10.1 eth3 up + e10.2 eth3 up + e10.3 eth3 up + e10.4 eth3 up + e10.5 eth3 up + e10.6 eth3 up + e10.7 eth3 up + e10.8 eth3 up + e10.9 eth3 up + e4.0 eth1 up + e4.1 eth1 up + e4.2 eth1 up + e4.3 eth1 up + e4.4 eth1 up + e4.5 eth1 up + e4.6 eth1 up + e4.7 eth1 up + e4.8 eth1 up + e4.9 eth1 up + + Use /sys/module/aoe/parameters/aoe_iflist (or better, the driver + option discussed below) instead of /dev/etherd/interfaces to limit + AoE traffic to the network interfaces in the given + whitespace-separated list. Unlike the old character device, the + sysfs entry can be read from as well as written to. + + It's helpful to trigger discovery after setting the list of allowed + interfaces. The aoetools package provides an aoe-discover script + for this purpose. You can also directly use the + /dev/etherd/discover special file described above. + +Driver Options +============== + + There is a boot option for the built-in aoe driver and a + corresponding module parameter, aoe_iflist. Without this option, + all network interfaces may be used for ATA over Ethernet. Here is a + usage example for the module parameter:: + + modprobe aoe_iflist="eth1 eth3" + + The aoe_deadsecs module parameter determines the maximum number of + seconds that the driver will wait for an AoE device to provide a + response to an AoE command. After aoe_deadsecs seconds have + elapsed, the AoE device will be marked as "down". A value of zero + is supported for testing purposes and makes the aoe driver keep + trying AoE commands forever. + + The aoe_maxout module parameter has a default of 128. This is the + maximum number of unresponded packets that will be sent to an AoE + target at one time. + + The aoe_dyndevs module parameter defaults to 1, meaning that the + driver will assign a block device minor number to a discovered AoE + target based on the order of its discovery. With dynamic minor + device numbers in use, a greater range of AoE shelf and slot + addresses can be supported. Users with udev will never have to + think about minor numbers. Using aoe_dyndevs=0 allows device nodes + to be pre-created using a static minor-number scheme with the + aoe-mkshelf script in the aoetools. diff --git a/Documentation/admin-guide/aoe/autoload.sh b/Documentation/admin-guide/aoe/autoload.sh new file mode 100644 index 000000000..815dff469 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/admin-guide/aoe/autoload.sh @@ -0,0 +1,17 @@ +#!/bin/sh +# set aoe to autoload by installing the +# aliases in /etc/modprobe.d/ + +f=/etc/modprobe.d/aoe.conf + +if test ! -r $f || test ! -w $f; then + echo "cannot configure $f for module autoloading" 1>&2 + exit 1 +fi + +grep major-152 $f >/dev/null +if [ $? = 1 ]; then + echo alias block-major-152 aoe >> $f + echo alias char-major-152 aoe >> $f +fi + diff --git a/Documentation/admin-guide/aoe/examples.rst b/Documentation/admin-guide/aoe/examples.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..91f3198e5 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/admin-guide/aoe/examples.rst @@ -0,0 +1,23 @@ +Example of udev rules +--------------------- + + .. include:: udev.txt + :literal: + +Example of udev install rules script +------------------------------------ + + .. literalinclude:: udev-install.sh + :language: shell + +Example script to get status +---------------------------- + + .. literalinclude:: status.sh + :language: shell + +Example of AoE autoload script +------------------------------ + + .. literalinclude:: autoload.sh + :language: shell diff --git a/Documentation/admin-guide/aoe/index.rst b/Documentation/admin-guide/aoe/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..d71c5df15 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/admin-guide/aoe/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,17 @@ +======================= +ATA over Ethernet (AoE) +======================= + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 1 + + aoe + todo + examples + +.. only:: subproject and html + + Indices + ======= + + * :ref:`genindex` diff --git a/Documentation/admin-guide/aoe/status.sh b/Documentation/admin-guide/aoe/status.sh new file mode 100644 index 000000000..eeec7baae --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/admin-guide/aoe/status.sh @@ -0,0 +1,30 @@ +#! /bin/sh +# collate and present sysfs information about AoE storage +# +# A more complete version of this script is aoe-stat, in the +# aoetools. + +set -e +format="%8s\t%8s\t%8s\n" +me=`basename $0` +sysd=${sysfs_dir:-/sys} + +# printf "$format" device mac netif state + +# Suse 9.1 Pro doesn't put /sys in /etc/mtab +#test -z "`mount | grep sysfs`" && { +test ! -d "$sysd/block" && { + echo "$me Error: sysfs is not mounted" 1>&2 + exit 1 +} + +for d in `ls -d $sysd/block/etherd* 2>/dev/null | grep -v p` end; do + # maybe ls comes up empty, so we use "end" + test $d = end && continue + + dev=`echo "$d" | sed 's/.*!//'` + printf "$format" \ + "$dev" \ + "`cat \"$d/netif\"`" \ + "`cat \"$d/state\"`" +done | sort diff --git a/Documentation/admin-guide/aoe/todo.rst b/Documentation/admin-guide/aoe/todo.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..dea8db5a3 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/admin-guide/aoe/todo.rst @@ -0,0 +1,17 @@ +TODO +==== + +There is a potential for deadlock when allocating a struct sk_buff for +data that needs to be written out to aoe storage.
