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(). ...

+
+USB Error codes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+:Revised: 2004-Oct-21
+
+This is the documentation of (hopefully) all possible error codes (and
+their interpretation) that can be returned from usbcore.
+
+Some of them are returned by the Host Controller Drivers (HCDs), which
+device drivers only see through usbcore. As a rule, all the HCDs should
+behave the same except for transfer speed dependent behaviors and the
+way certain faults are reported.
+
+
+Error codes returned by :c:func:`usb_submit_urb`
+================================================
+
+Non-USB-specific:
+
+
+=============== ===============================================
+0 URB submission went fine
+
+``-ENOMEM`` no memory for allocation of internal structures
+=============== ===============================================
+
+USB-specific:
+
+======================= =======================================================
+``-EBUSY`` The URB is already active.
+
+``-ENODEV`` specified USB-device or bus doesn't exist
+
+``-ENOENT`` specified interface or endpoint does not exist or
+ is not enabled
+
+``-ENXIO`` host controller driver does not support queuing of
+ this type of urb. (treat as a host controller bug.)
+
+``-EINVAL`` a) Invalid transfer type specified (or not supported)
+ b) Invalid or unsupported periodic transfer interval
+ c) ISO: attempted to change transfer interval
+ d) ISO: ``number_of_packets`` is < 0
+ e) various other cases
+
+``-EXDEV`` ISO: ``URB_ISO_ASAP`` wasn't specified and all the
+ frames the URB would be scheduled in have already
+ expired.
+
+``-EFBIG`` Host controller driver can't schedule that many ISO
+ frames.
+
+``-EPIPE`` The pipe type specified in the URB doesn't match the
+ endpoint's actual type.
+
+``-EMSGSIZE`` (a) endpoint maxpacket size is zero; it is not usable
+ in the current interface altsetting.
+ (b) ISO packet is larger than the endpoint maxpacket.
+ (c) requested data transfer length is invalid: negative
+ or too large for the host controller.
+
+``-EBADR`` The wLength value in a control URB's setup packet does
+ not match the URB's transfer_buffer_length.
+
+``-ENOSPC`` This request would overcommit the usb bandwidth reserved
+ for periodic transfers (interrupt, isochronous).
+
+``-ESHUTDOWN`` The device or host controller has been disabled due to
+ some problem that could not be worked around.
+
+``-EPERM`` Submission failed because ``urb->reject`` was set.
+
+``-EHOSTUNREACH`` URB was rejected because the device is suspended.
+
+``-ENOEXEC`` A control URB doesn't contain a Setup packet.
+======================= =======================================================
+
+Error codes returned by ``in urb->status`` or in ``iso_frame_desc[n].status`` (for ISO)
+=======================================================================================
+
+USB device drivers may only test urb status values in completion handlers.
+This is because otherwise there would be a race between HCDs updating
+these values on one CPU, and device drivers testing them on another CPU.
+
+A transfer's actual_length may be positive even when an error has been
+reported. That's because transfers often involve several packets, so that
+one or more packets could finish before an error stops further endpoint I/O.
+
+For isochronous URBs, the urb status value is non-zero only if the URB is
+unlinked, the device is removed, the host controller is disabled, or the total
+transferred length is less than the requested length and the
+``URB_SHORT_NOT_OK`` flag is set. Completion handlers for isochronous URBs
+should only see ``urb->status`` set to zero, ``-ENOENT``, ``-ECONNRESET``,
+``-ESHUTDOWN``, or ``-EREMOTEIO``. Individual frame descriptor status fields
+may report more status codes.
+
+
+=============================== ===============================================
+0 Transfer completed successfully
+
+``-ENOENT`` URB was synchronously unlinked by
+ :c:func:`usb_unlink_urb`
+
+``-EINPROGRESS`` URB still pending, no results yet
+ (That is, if drivers see this it's a bug.)
+
+``-EPROTO`` [#f1]_, [#f2]_ a) bitstuff error
+ b) no response packet received within the
+ prescribed bus turn-around time
+ c) unknown USB error
+
+``-EILSEQ`` [#f1]_, [#f2]_ a) CRC mismatch
+ b) no response packet received within the
+ prescribed bus turn-around time
+ c) unknown USB error
+
+ Note that often the controller hardware does
+ not distinguish among cases a), b), and c), so
+ a driver cannot tell whether there was a
+ protocol error, a failure to respond (often
+ caused by device disconnect), or some other
+ fault.
+
+``-ETIME`` [#f2]_ No response packet received within the
+ prescribed bus turn-around time. This error
+ may instead be reported as
+ ``-EPROTO`` or ``-EILSEQ``.
+
+``-ETIMEDOUT`` Synchronous USB message functions use this code
+ to indicate timeout expired before the transfer
+ completed, and no other error was reported
+ by HC.
+
+``-EPIPE`` [#f2]_ Endpoint stalled. For non-control endpoints,
+ reset this status with
+ :c:func:`usb_clear_halt`.
+
+``-ECOMM`` During an IN transfer, the host controller
+ received data from an endpoint faster than it
+ could be written to system memory
+
+``-ENOSR`` During an OUT transfer, the host controller
+ could not retrieve data from system memory fast
+ enough to keep up with the USB data rate
+
+``-EOVERFLOW`` [#f1]_ The amount of data returned by the endpoint was
+ greater than either the max packet size of the
+ endpoint or the remaining buffer size.
+ "Babble".
+
+``-EREMOTEIO`` The data read from the endpoint did not fill
+ the specified buffer, and ``URB_SHORT_NOT_OK``
+ was set in ``urb->transfer_flags``.
+
+``-ENODEV`` Device was removed. Often preceded by a burst
+ of other errors, since the hub driver doesn't
+ detect device removal events immediately.
+
+``-EXDEV`` ISO transfer only partially completed
+ (only set in ``iso_frame_desc[n].status``,
+ not ``urb->status``)
+
+``-EINVAL`` ISO madness, if this happens: Log off and
+ go home
+
+``-ECONNRESET`` URB was asynchronously unlinked by
+ :c:func:`usb_unlink_urb`
+
+``-ESHUTDOWN`` The device or host controller has been
+ disabled due to some problem that could not
+ be worked around, such as a physical
+ disconnect.
+=============================== ===============================================
+
+
+.. [#f1]
+
+ Error codes like ``-EPROTO``, ``-EILSEQ`` and ``-EOVERFLOW`` normally
+ indicate hardware problems such as bad devices (including firmware)
+ or cables.
+
+.. [#f2]
+
+ This is also one of several codes that different kinds of host
+ controller use to indicate a transfer has failed because of device
+ disconnect. In the interval before the hub driver starts disconnect
+ processing, devices may receive such fault reports for every request.
+
+
+
+Error codes returned by usbcore-functions
+=========================================
+
+.. note:: expect also other submit and transfer status codes
+
+:c:func:`usb_register`:
+
+======================= ===================================
+``-EINVAL`` error during registering new driver
+======================= ===================================
+
+``usb_get_*/usb_set_*()``,
+:c:func:`usb_control_msg`,
+:c:func:`usb_bulk_msg()`:
+
+======================= ==============================================
+``-ETIMEDOUT`` Timeout expired before the transfer completed.
