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-only +.. Copyright (C) 2022 Red Hat, Inc. + +=================== +BPF_MAP_TYPE_CPUMAP +=================== + +.. note:: + - ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CPUMAP`` was introduced in kernel version 4.15 + +.. kernel-doc:: kernel/bpf/cpumap.c + :doc: cpu map + +An example use-case for this map type is software based Receive Side Scaling (RSS). + +The CPUMAP represents the CPUs in the system indexed as the map-key, and the +map-value is the config setting (per CPUMAP entry). Each CPUMAP entry has a dedicated +kernel thread bound to the given CPU to represent the remote CPU execution unit. + +Starting from Linux kernel version 5.9 the CPUMAP can run a second XDP program +on the remote CPU. This allows an XDP program to split its processing across +multiple CPUs. For example, a scenario where the initial CPU (that sees/receives +the packets) needs to do minimal packet processing and the remote CPU (to which +the packet is directed) can afford to spend more cycles processing the frame. The +initial CPU is where the XDP redirect program is executed. The remote CPU +receives raw ``xdp_frame`` objects. + +Usage +===== + +Kernel BPF +---------- +bpf_redirect_map() +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +.. code-block:: c + + long bpf_redirect_map(struct bpf_map *map, u32 key, u64 flags) + +Redirect the packet to the endpoint referenced by ``map`` at index ``key``. +For ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CPUMAP`` this map contains references to CPUs. + +The lower two bits of ``flags`` are used as the return code if the map lookup +fails. This is so that the return value can be one of the XDP program return +codes up to ``XDP_TX``, as chosen by the caller. + +User space +---------- +.. note:: + CPUMAP entries can only be updated/looked up/deleted from user space and not + from an eBPF program. Trying to call these functions from a kernel eBPF + program will result in the program failing to load and a verifier warning. + +bpf_map_update_elem() +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +.. code-block:: c + + int bpf_map_update_elem(int fd, const void *key, const void *value, __u64 flags); + +CPU entries can be added or updated using the ``bpf_map_update_elem()`` +helper. This helper replaces existing elements atomically. The ``value`` parameter +can be ``struct bpf_cpumap_val``. + + .. code-block:: c + + struct bpf_cpumap_val { + __u32 qsize; /* queue size to remote target CPU */ + union { + int fd; /* prog fd on map write */ + __u32 id; /* prog id on map read */ + } bpf_prog; + }; + +The flags argument can be one of the following: + - BPF_ANY: Create a new element or update an existing element. + - BPF_NOEXIST: Create a new element only if it did not exist. + - BPF_EXIST: Update an existing element. + +bpf_map_lookup_elem() +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +.. code-block:: c + + int bpf_map_lookup_elem(int fd, const void *key, void *value); + +CPU entries can be retrieved using the ``bpf_map_lookup_elem()`` +helper. + +bpf_map_delete_elem() +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +.. code-block:: c + + int bpf_map_delete_elem(int fd, const void *key); + +CPU entries can be deleted using the ``bpf_map_delete_elem()`` +helper. This helper will return 0 on success, or negative error in case of +failure. + +Examples +======== +Kernel +------ + +The following code snippet shows how to declare a ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_CPUMAP`` called +``cpu_map`` and how to redirect packets to a remote CPU using a round robin scheme. + +.. code-block:: c + + struct { + __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_CPUMAP); + __type(key, __u32); + __type(value, struct bpf_cpumap_val); + __uint(max_entries, 12); + } cpu_map SEC(".maps"); + + struct { + __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY); + __type(key, __u32); + __type(value, __u32); + __uint(max_entries, 12); + } cpus_available SEC(".maps"); + + struct { + __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_ARRAY); + __type(key, __u32); + __type(value, __u32); + __uint(max_entries, 1); + } cpus_iterator SEC(".maps"); + + SEC("xdp") + int xdp_redir_cpu_round_robin(struct xdp_md *ctx) + { + __u32 key = 0; + __u32 cpu_dest = 0; + __u32 *cpu_selected, *cpu_iterator; + __u32 cpu_idx; + + cpu_iterator = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&cpus_iterator, &key); + if (!cpu_iterator) + return XDP_ABORTED; + cpu_idx = *cpu_iterator; + + *cpu_iterator += 1; + if (*cpu_iterator == bpf_num_possible_cpus()) + *cpu_iterator = 0; + + cpu_selected = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&cpus_available, &cpu_idx); + if (!cpu_selected) + return XDP_ABORTED; + cpu_dest = *cpu_selected; + + if (cpu_dest >= bpf_num_possible_cpus()) + return XDP_ABORTED; + + return bpf_redirect_map(&cpu_map, cpu_dest, 0); + } + +User space +---------- + +The following code snippet shows how to dynamically set the max_entries for a +CPUMAP to the max number of cpus available on the system. + +.. code-block:: c + + int set_max_cpu_entries(struct bpf_map *cpu_map) + { + if (bpf_map__set_max_entries(cpu_map, libbpf_num_possible_cpus()) < 0) { + fprintf(stderr, "Failed to set max entries for cpu_map map: %s", + strerror(errno)); + return -1; + } + return 0; + } + +References +=========== + +- https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2021/05/13/receive-side-scaling-rss-with-ebpf-and-cpumap#redirecting_into_a_cpumap |
