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.

+===================
+BPF_MAP_TYPE_XSKMAP
+===================
+
+.. note::
+ - ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_XSKMAP`` was introduced in kernel version 4.18
+
+The ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_XSKMAP`` is used as a backend map for XDP BPF helper
+call ``bpf_redirect_map()`` and ``XDP_REDIRECT`` action, like 'devmap' and 'cpumap'.
+This map type redirects raw XDP frames to `AF_XDP`_ sockets (XSKs), a new type of
+address family in the kernel that allows redirection of frames from a driver to
+user space without having to traverse the full network stack. An AF_XDP socket
+binds to a single netdev queue. A mapping of XSKs to queues is shown below:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ +---------------------------------------------------+
+ | xsk A | xsk B | xsk C |<---+ User space
+ =========================================================|==========
+ | Queue 0 | Queue 1 | Queue 2 | | Kernel
+ +---------------------------------------------------+ |
+ | Netdev eth0 | |
+ +---------------------------------------------------+ |
+ | +=============+ | |
+ | | key | xsk | | |
+ | +---------+ +=============+ | |
+ | | | | 0 | xsk A | | |
+ | | | +-------------+ | |
+ | | | | 1 | xsk B | | |
+ | | BPF |-- redirect -->+-------------+-------------+
+ | | prog | | 2 | xsk C | |
+ | | | +-------------+ |
+ | | | |
+ | | | |
+ | +---------+ |
+ | |
+ +---------------------------------------------------+
+
+.. note::
+ An AF_XDP socket that is bound to a certain <netdev/queue_id> will *only*
+ accept XDP frames from that <netdev/queue_id>. If an XDP program tries to redirect
+ from a <netdev/queue_id> other than what the socket is bound to, the frame will
+ not be received on the socket.
+
+Typically an XSKMAP is created per netdev. This map contains an array of XSK File
+Descriptors (FDs). The number of array elements is typically set or adjusted using
+the ``max_entries`` map parameter. For AF_XDP ``max_entries`` is equal to the number
+of queues supported by the netdev.
+
+.. note::
+ Both the map key and map value size must be 4 bytes.
+
+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_XSKMAP`` this map contains references to XSK FDs
+for sockets attached to a netdev's queues.
+
+.. note::
+ If the map is empty at an index, the packet is dropped. This means that it is
+ necessary to have an XDP program loaded with at least one XSK in the
+ XSKMAP to be able to get any traffic to user space through the socket.
+
+bpf_map_lookup_elem()
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ void *bpf_map_lookup_elem(struct bpf_map *map, const void *key)
+
+XSK entry references of type ``struct xdp_sock *`` can be retrieved using the
+``bpf_map_lookup_elem()`` helper.
+
+User space
+----------
+.. note::
+ XSK entries can only be updated/deleted from user space and not from
+ a BPF program. Trying to call these functions from a kernel BPF 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)
+
+XSK entries can be added or updated using the ``bpf_map_update_elem()``
+helper. The ``key`` parameter is equal to the queue_id of the queue the XSK
+is attaching to. And the ``value`` parameter is the FD value of that socket.
+
+Under the hood, the XSKMAP update function uses the XSK FD value to retrieve the
+associated ``struct xdp_sock`` instance.
+
+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)
+
+Returns ``struct xdp_sock *`` or negative error in case of failure.
+
+bpf_map_delete_elem()
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int bpf_map_delete_elem(int fd, const void *key)
+
+XSK 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.
+
+.. note::
+ When `libxdp`_ deletes an XSK it also removes the associated socket
+ entry from the XSKMAP.
+
+Examples
+========
+Kernel
+------
+
+The following code snippet shows how to declare a ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_XSKMAP`` called
+``xsks_map`` and how to redirect packets to an XSK.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct {
+ __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_XSKMAP);
+ __type(key, __u32);
+ __type(value, __u32);
+ __uint(max_entries, 64);
+ } xsks_map SEC(".maps");
+
+
+ SEC("xdp")
+ int xsk_redir_prog(struct xdp_md *ctx)
+ {
+ __u32 index = ctx->rx_queue_index;
+
+ if (bpf_map_lookup_elem(&xsks_map, &index))
+ return bpf_redirect_map(&xsks_map, index, 0);
+ return XDP_PASS;
+ }
+
+User space
+----------
+
+The following code snippet shows how to update an XSKMAP with an XSK entry.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int update_xsks_map(struct bpf_map *xsks_map, int queue_id, int xsk_fd)
+ {
+ int ret;
+
+ ret = bpf_map_update_elem(bpf_map__fd(xsks_map), &queue_id, &xsk_fd, 0);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ fprintf(stderr, "Failed to update xsks_map: %s\n", strerror(errno));
+
+ return ret;
+ }
+
+For an example on how create AF_XDP sockets, please see the AF_XDP-example and
+AF_XDP-forwarding programs in the `bpf-examples`_ directory in the `libxdp`_ repository.
+For a detailed explanation of the AF_XDP interface please see:
+
+- `libxdp-readme`_.
+- `AF_XDP`_ kernel documentation.
