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.

There are plenty of opportunities +for visible, important contributions to this module. Here +is a partial list of the known problems and missing features: + +a) SMB3 (and SMB3.1.1) missing optional features: + + - multichannel (partially integrated), integration of multichannel with RDMA + - directory leases (improved metadata caching). Currently only implemented for root dir + - T10 copy offload ie "ODX" (copy chunk, and "Duplicate Extents" ioctl + currently the only two server side copy mechanisms supported) + +b) improved sparse file support (fiemap and SEEK_HOLE are implemented + but additional features would be supportable by the protocol such + as FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE) + +c) Directory entry caching relies on a 1 second timer, rather than + using Directory Leases, currently only the root file handle is cached longer + by leveraging Directory Leases + +d) quota support (needs minor kernel change since quota calls otherwise + won't make it to network filesystems or deviceless filesystems). + +e) Additional use cases can be optimized to use "compounding" (e.g. + open/query/close and open/setinfo/close) to reduce the number of + roundtrips to the server and improve performance. Various cases + (stat, statfs, create, unlink, mkdir, xattrs) already have been improved by + using compounding but more can be done. In addition we could + significantly reduce redundant opens by using deferred close (with + handle caching leases) and better using reference counters on file + handles. + +f) Finish inotify support so kde and gnome file list windows + will autorefresh (partially complete by Asser). Needs minor kernel + vfs change to support removing D_NOTIFY on a file. + +g) Add GUI tool to configure /proc/fs/cifs settings and for display of + the CIFS statistics (started) + +h) implement support for security and trusted categories of xattrs + (requires minor protocol extension) to enable better support for SELINUX + +i) Add support for tree connect contexts (see MS-SMB2) a new SMB3.1.1 protocol + feature (may be especially useful for virtualization). + +j) Create UID mapping facility so server UIDs can be mapped on a per + mount or a per server basis to client UIDs or nobody if no mapping + exists. Also better integration with winbind for resolving SID owners + +k) Add tools to take advantage of more smb3 specific ioctls and features + (passthrough ioctl/fsctl is now implemented in cifs.ko to allow + sending various SMB3 fsctls and query info and set info calls + directly from user space) Add tools to make setting various non-POSIX + metadata attributes easier from tools (e.g. extending what was done + in smb-info tool). + +l) encrypted file support (currently the attribute showing the file is + encrypted on the server is reported, but changing the attribute is not + supported). + +m) improved stats gathering tools (perhaps integration with nfsometer?) + to extend and make easier to use what is currently in /proc/fs/cifs/Stats + +n) Add support for claims based ACLs ("DAC") + +o) mount helper GUI (to simplify the various configuration options on mount) + +p) Expand support for witness protocol to allow for notification of share + move, and server network adapter changes. Currently only notifications by + the witness protocol for server move is supported by the Linux client. + +q) Allow mount.cifs to be more verbose in reporting errors with dialect + or unsupported feature errors. This would now be easier due to the + implementation of the new mount API. + +r) updating cifs documentation, and user guide. + +s) Addressing bugs found by running a broader set of xfstests in standard + file system xfstest suite. + +t) split cifs and smb3 support into separate modules so legacy (and less + secure) CIFS dialect can be disabled in environments that don't need it + and simplify the code. + +v) Additional testing of POSIX Extensions for SMB3.1.1 + +w) Add support for additional strong encryption types, and additional spnego + authentication mechanisms (see MS-SMB2). GCM-256 is now partially implemented. + +x) Finish support for SMB3.1.1 compression + +Known Bugs +========== + +See https://bugzilla.samba.org - search on product "CifsVFS" for +current bug list. Also check http://bugzilla.kernel.org (Product = File System, Component = CIFS) + +1) existing symbolic links (Windows reparse points) are recognized but + can not be created remotely. They are implemented for Samba and those that + support the CIFS Unix extensions, although earlier versions of Samba + overly restrict the pathnames. +2) follow_link and readdir code does not follow dfs junctions + but recognizes them + +Misc testing to do +================== +1) check out max path names and max path name components against various server + types. Try nested symlinks (8 deep). Return max path name in stat -f information + +2) Improve xfstest's cifs/smb3 enablement and adapt xfstests where needed to test + cifs/smb3 better + +3) Additional performance testing and optimization using iozone and similar - + there are some easy changes that can be done to parallelize sequential writes, + and when signing is disabled to request larger read sizes (larger than + negotiated size) and send larger write sizes to modern servers. + +4) More exhaustively test against less common servers + +5) Continue to extend the smb3 "buildbot" which does automated xfstesting + against Windows, Samba and Azure currently - to add additional tests and + to allow the buildbot to execute the tests faster. The URL for the + buildbot is: http://smb3-test-rhel-75.southcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com + +6) Address various coverity warnings (most are not bugs per-se, but + the more warnings are addressed, the easier it is to spot real + problems that static analyzers will point out in the future). |
