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. New hardware / drivers: - Ethernet: - nVidia BlueField-3 support (control traffic driver) - Ethernet support for imx93 SoCs - Motorcomm yt8531 gigabit Ethernet PHY - onsemi NCN26000 10BASE-T1S PHY (with support for PLCA) - Microchip LAN8841 PHY (incl. cable diagnostics and PTP) - Amlogic gxl MDIO mux - WiFi: - RealTek RTL8188EU (rtl8xxxu) - Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devices (ath12k) - CAN: - Renesas R-Car V4H Drivers: - Bluetooth: - Set Per Platform Antenna Gain (PPAG) for Intel controllers. - Ethernet NICs: - Intel (1G, igc): - support TSN / Qbv / packet scheduling features of i226 model - Intel (100G, ice): - use GNSS subsystem instead of TTY - multi-buffer XDP support - extend support for GPIO pins to E823 devices - nVidia/Mellanox: - update the shared buffer configuration on PFC commands - implement PTP adjphase function for HW offset control - TC support for Geneve and GRE with VF tunnel offload - more efficient crypto key management method - multi-port eswitch support - Netronome/Corigine: - add DCB IEEE support - support IPsec offloading for NFP3800 - Freescale/NXP (enetc): - support XDP_REDIRECT for XDP non-linear buffers - improve reconfig, avoid link flap and waiting for idle - support MAC Merge layer - Other NICs: - sfc/ef100: add basic devlink support for ef100 - ionic: rx_push mode operation (writing descriptors via MMIO) - bnxt: use the auxiliary bus abstraction for RDMA - r8169: disable ASPM and reset bus in case of tx timeout - cpsw: support QSGMII mode for J721e CPSW9G - cpts: support pulse-per-second output - ngbe: add an mdio bus driver - usbnet: optimize usbnet_bh() by avoiding unnecessary queuing - r8152: handle devices with FW with NCM support - amd-xgbe: support 10Mbps, 2.5GbE speeds and rx-adaptation - virtio-net: support multi buffer XDP - virtio/vsock: replace virtio_vsock_pkt with sk_buff - tsnep: XDP support - Ethernet high-speed switches: - nVidia/Mellanox (mlxsw): - add support for latency TLV (in FW control messages) - Microchip (sparx5): - separate explicit and implicit traffic forwarding rules, make the implicit rules always active - add support for egress DSCP rewrite - IS0 VCAP support (Ingress Classification) - IS2 VCAP filters (protos, L3 addrs, L4 ports, flags, ToS etc.) - ES2 VCAP support (Egress Access Control) - support for Per-Stream Filtering and Policing (802.1Q, 8.6.5.1) - Ethernet embedded switches: - Marvell (mv88e6xxx): - add MAB (port auth) offload support - enable PTP receive for mv88e6390 - NXP (ocelot): - support MAC Merge layer - support for the the vsc7512 internal copper phys - Microchip: - lan9303: convert to PHYLINK - lan966x: support TC flower filter statistics - lan937x: PTP support for KSZ9563/KSZ8563 and LAN937x - lan937x: support Credit Based Shaper configuration - ksz9477: support Energy Efficient Ethernet - other: - qca8k: convert to regmap read/write API, use bulk operations - rswitch: Improve TX timestamp accuracy - Intel WiFi (iwlwifi): - EHT (Wi-Fi 7) rate reporting - STEP equalizer support: transfer some STEP (connection to radio on platforms with integrated wifi) related parameters from the BIOS to the firmware. - Qualcomm 802.11ax WiFi (ath11k): - IPQ5018 support - Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) responder role support - channel 177 support - MediaTek WiFi (mt76): - per-PHY LED support - mt7996: EHT (Wi-Fi 7) support - Wireless Ethernet Dispatch (WED) reset support - switch to using page pool allocator - RealTek WiFi (rtw89): - support new version of Bluetooth co-existance - Mobile: - rmnet: support TX aggregation" * tag 'net-next-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1872 commits) page_pool: add a comment explaining the fragment counter usage net: ethtool: fix __ethtool_dev_mm_supported() implementation ethtool: pse-pd: Fix double word in comments xsk: add linux/vmalloc.h to xsk.c sefltests: netdevsim: wait for devlink instance after netns removal selftest: fib_tests: Always cleanup before exit net/mlx5e: Align IPsec ASO result memory to be as required by hardware net/mlx5e: TC, Set CT miss to the specific ct action instance net/mlx5e: Rename CHAIN_TO_REG to MAPPED_OBJ_TO_REG net/mlx5: Refactor tc miss handling to a single function net/mlx5: Kconfig: Make tc offload depend on tc skb extension net/sched: flower: Support hardware miss to tc action net/sched: flower: Move filter handle initialization earlier net/sched: cls_api: Support hardware miss to tc action net/sched: Rename user cookie and act cookie sfc: fix builds without CONFIG_RTC_LIB sfc: clean up some inconsistent indentings net/mlx4_en: Introduce flexible array to silence overflow warning net: lan966x: Fix possible deadlock inside PTP net/ulp: Remove redundant ->clone() test in inet_clone_ulp(). ...

+=====================
+BPF_MAP_TYPE_LPM_TRIE
+=====================
+
+.. note::
+ - ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_LPM_TRIE`` was introduced in kernel version 4.11
+
+``BPF_MAP_TYPE_LPM_TRIE`` provides a longest prefix match algorithm that
+can be used to match IP addresses to a stored set of prefixes.
+Internally, data is stored in an unbalanced trie of nodes that uses
+``prefixlen,data`` pairs as its keys. The ``data`` is interpreted in
+network byte order, i.e. big endian, so ``data[0]`` stores the most
+significant byte.
+
+LPM tries may be created with a maximum prefix length that is a multiple
+of 8, in the range from 8 to 2048. The key used for lookup and update
+operations is a ``struct bpf_lpm_trie_key``, extended by
+``max_prefixlen/8`` bytes.
+
+- For IPv4 addresses the data length is 4 bytes
+- For IPv6 addresses the data length is 16 bytes
+
+The value type stored in the LPM trie can be any user defined type.
+
+.. note::
+ When creating a map of type ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_LPM_TRIE`` you must set the
+ ``BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC`` flag.
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+Kernel BPF
+----------
+
+bpf_map_lookup_elem()
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ void *bpf_map_lookup_elem(struct bpf_map *map, const void *key)
+
+The longest prefix entry for a given data value can be found using the
+``bpf_map_lookup_elem()`` helper. This helper returns a pointer to the
+value associated with the longest matching ``key``, or ``NULL`` if no
+entry was found.
+
+The ``key`` should have ``prefixlen`` set to ``max_prefixlen`` when
+performing longest prefix lookups. For example, when searching for the
+longest prefix match for an IPv4 address, ``prefixlen`` should be set to
+``32``.
+
+bpf_map_update_elem()
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ long bpf_map_update_elem(struct bpf_map *map, const void *key, const void *value, u64 flags)
+
+Prefix entries can be added or updated using the ``bpf_map_update_elem()``
+helper. This helper replaces existing elements atomically.
+
+``bpf_map_update_elem()`` returns ``0`` on success, or negative error in
+case of failure.
+
+ .. note::
+ The flags parameter must be one of BPF_ANY, BPF_NOEXIST or BPF_EXIST,
+ but the value is ignored, giving BPF_ANY semantics.
+
+bpf_map_delete_elem()
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ long bpf_map_delete_elem(struct bpf_map *map, const void *key)
+
+Prefix 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.
+
+Userspace
+---------
+
+Access from userspace uses libbpf APIs with the same names as above, with
+the map identified by ``fd``.
+
+bpf_map_get_next_key()
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int bpf_map_get_next_key (int fd, const void *cur_key, void *next_key)
+
+A userspace program can iterate through the entries in an LPM trie using
+libbpf's ``bpf_map_get_next_key()`` function. The first key can be
+fetched by calling ``bpf_map_get_next_key()`` with ``cur_key`` set to
+``NULL``. Subsequent calls will fetch the next key that follows the
+current key. ``bpf_map_get_next_key()`` returns ``0`` on success,
+``-ENOENT`` if ``cur_key`` is the last key in the trie, or negative
+error in case of failure.
+
+``bpf_map_get_next_key()`` will iterate through the LPM trie elements
+from leftmost leaf first. This means that iteration will return more
+specific keys before less specific ones.
+
+Examples
+========
+
+Please see ``tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_lpm_map.c`` for examples
+of LPM trie usage from userspace. The code snippets below demonstrate
+API usage.
+
+Kernel BPF
+----------
+
+The following BPF code snippet shows how to declare a new LPM trie for IPv4
+address prefixes:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #include <linux/bpf.h>
+ #include <bpf/bpf_helpers.h>
+
+ struct ipv4_lpm_key {
+ __u32 prefixlen;
+ __u32 data;
+ };
+
+ struct {
+ __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_LPM_TRIE);
+ __type(key, struct ipv4_lpm_key);
+ __type(value, __u32);
+ __uint(map_flags, BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC);
+ __uint(max_entries, 255);
+ } ipv4_lpm_map SEC(".maps");
+
+The following BPF code snippet shows how to lookup by IPv4 address:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ void *lookup(__u32 ipaddr)
+ {
+ struct ipv4_lpm_key key = {
+ .prefixlen = 32,
+ .data = ipaddr
+ };
+
+ return bpf_map_lookup_elem(&ipv4_lpm_map, &key);
+ }
+
+Userspace
+---------
+
+The following snippet shows how to insert an IPv4 prefix entry into an
+LPM trie:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int add_prefix_entry(int lpm_fd, __u32 addr, __u32 prefixlen, struct value *value)
+ {
+ struct ipv4_lpm_key ipv4_key = {
+ .prefixlen = prefixlen,
+ .data = addr
+ };
+ return bpf_map_update_elem(lpm_fd, &ipv4_key, value, BPF_ANY);
+ }
+
+The following snippet shows a userspace program walking through the entries
+of an LPM trie:
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #include <bpf/libbpf.h>
+ #include <bpf/bpf.h>
+
+ void iterate_lpm_trie(int map_fd)
+ {
+ struct ipv4_lpm_key *cur_key = NULL;
+ struct ipv4_lpm_key next_key;
+ struct value value;
+ int err;
+
+ for (;;) {
+ err = bpf_map_get_next_key(map_fd, cur_key, &next_key);
+ if (err)
+ break;
+
+ bpf_map_lookup_elem(map_fd, &next_key, &value);
+
+ /* Use key and value here */
+
+ cur_key = &next_key;
+ }
+ }
