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.

It's highly experimental code, but is guaranteed to work +on my computer, with my "Maxi Gamer 3D" and "Maxi Gamer 3d²" boards, +and with me "between chair and keyboard". Some people tested other +combinations and it seems that it works. +The main page is located at <http://sstfb.sourceforge.net>, and if +you want the latest version, check out the CVS, as the driver is a work +in progress, I feel uncomfortable with releasing tarballs of something +not completely working...Don't worry, it's still more than usable +(I eat my own dog food) + +Please read the Bug section, and report any success or failure to me +(Ghozlane Toumi <gtoumi@laposte.net>). +BTW, If you have only one monitor , and you don't feel like playing +with the vga passthrou cable, I can only suggest borrowing a screen +somewhere... + + +Installation +============ + +This driver (should) work on ix86, with "late" 2.2.x kernel (tested +with x = 19) and "recent" 2.4.x kernel, as a module or compiled in. +It has been included in mainstream kernel since the infamous 2.4.10. +You can apply the patches found in `sstfb/kernel/*-2.{2|4}.x.patch`, +and copy sstfb.c to linux/drivers/video/, or apply a single patch, +`sstfb/patch-2.{2|4}.x-sstfb-yymmdd` to your linux source tree. + +Then configure your kernel as usual: choose "m" or "y" to 3Dfx Voodoo +Graphics in section "console". Compile, install, have fun... and please +drop me a report :) + + +Module Usage +============ + +.. warning:: + + #. You should read completely this section before issuing any command. + + #. If you have only one monitor to play with, once you insmod the + module, the 3dfx takes control of the output, so you'll have to + plug the monitor to the "normal" video board in order to issue + the commands, or you can blindly use sst_dbg_vgapass + in the tools directory (See Tools). The latest solution is pass the + parameter vgapass=1 when insmodding the driver. (See Kernel/Modules + Options) + +Module insertion +---------------- + + #. insmod sstfb.o + + you should see some strange output from the board: + a big blue square, a green and a red small squares and a vertical + white rectangle. why? the function's name is self-explanatory: + "sstfb_test()"... + (if you don't have a second monitor, you'll have to plug your monitor + directly to the 2D videocard to see what you're typing) + + #. con2fb /dev/fbx /dev/ttyx + + bind a tty to the new frame buffer. if you already have a frame + buffer driver, the voodoo fb will likely be /dev/fb1. if not, + the device will be /dev/fb0. You can check this by doing a + cat /proc/fb. You can find a copy of con2fb in tools/ directory. + if you don't have another fb device, this step is superfluous, + as the console subsystem automagicaly binds ttys to the fb. + #. switch to the virtual console you just mapped. "tadaaa" ... + +Module removal +-------------- + + #. con2fb /dev/fbx /dev/ttyx + + bind the tty to the old frame buffer so the module can be removed. + (how does it work with vgacon ? short answer : it doesn't work) + + #. rmmod sstfb + + +Kernel/Modules Options +---------------------- + +You can pass some options to the sstfb module, and via the kernel +command line when the driver is compiled in: +for module : insmod sstfb.o option1=value1 option2=value2 ... +in kernel : video=sstfb:option1,option2:value2,option3 ... + +sstfb supports the following options: + +=============== =============== =============================================== +Module Kernel Description +=============== =============== =============================================== +vgapass=0 vganopass Enable or disable VGA passthrou cable. +vgapass=1 vgapass When enabled, the monitor will get the signal + from the VGA board and not from the voodoo. + + Default: nopass + +mem=x mem:x Force frame buffer memory in MiB + allowed values: 0, 1, 2, 4. + + Default: 0 (= autodetect) + +inverse=1 inverse Supposed to enable inverse console. + doesn't work yet... + +clipping=1 clipping Enable or disable clipping. +clipping=0 noclipping With clipping enabled, all offscreen + reads and writes are discarded. + + Default: enable clipping. + +gfxclk=x gfxclk:x Force graphic clock frequency (in MHz). + Be careful with this option, it may be + DANGEROUS. + + Default: auto + + - 50Mhz for Voodoo 1, + - 75MHz for Voodoo 2. + +slowpci=1 fastpci Enable or disable fast PCI read/writes. +slowpci=1 slowpci Default : fastpci + +dev=x dev:x Attach the driver to device number x. + 0 is the first compatible board (in + lspci order) +=============== =============== =============================================== + +Tools +===== + +These tools are mostly for debugging purposes, but you can +find some of these interesting: + +- `con2fb`, maps a tty to a fbramebuffer:: + + con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty5 + +- `sst_dbg_vgapass`, changes vga passthrou.
