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.

CRT may not display properly for DuoView CRT & DVI display at + the "640x480" PAL mode with DVI overscan enabled. + 2. SAMM stands for single adapter multi monitors. It is different from + multi-head since SAMM support multi monitor at driver layers, thus fbcon + layer doesn't even know about it; SAMM's second screen doesn't have a + device node file, thus a user mode application can't access it directly. + When SAMM is enabled, viafb_mode and viafb_mode1, viafb_bpp and + viafb_bpp1, viafb_refresh and viafb_refresh1 can be different. + 3. When console is depending on viafbinfo1, dynamically change resolution + and bpp, need to call VIAFB specified ioctl interface VIAFB_SET_DEVICE + instead of calling common ioctl function FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO since + viafb doesn't support multi-head well, or it will cause screen crush. + + +Configure viafb with "fbset" tool +--------------------------------- + + "fbset" is an inbox utility of Linux. + + 1. Inquire current viafb information, type:: + + # fbset -i + + 2. Set various resolutions and viafb_refresh rates:: + + # fbset <resolution-vertical_sync> + + example:: + + # fbset "1024x768-75" + + or:: + + # fbset -g 1024 768 1024 768 32 + + Check the file "/etc/fb.modes" to find display modes available. + + 3. Set the color depth:: + + # fbset -depth <value> + + example:: + + # fbset -depth 16 + + +Configure viafb via /proc +------------------------- + The following files exist in /proc/viafb + + supported_output_devices + This read-only file contains a full ',' separated list containing all + output devices that could be available on your platform. It is likely + that not all of those have a connector on your hardware but it should + provide a good starting point to figure out which of those names match + a real connector. + + Example:: + + # cat /proc/viafb/supported_output_devices + + iga1/output_devices, iga2/output_devices + These two files are readable and writable. iga1 and iga2 are the two + independent units that produce the screen image. Those images can be + forwarded to one or more output devices. Reading those files is a way + to query which output devices are currently used by an iga. + + Example:: + + # cat /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices + + If there are no output devices printed the output of this iga is lost. + This can happen for example if only one (the other) iga is used. + Writing to these files allows adjusting the output devices during + runtime. One can add new devices, remove existing ones or switch + between igas. Essentially you can write a ',' separated list of device + names (or a single one) in the same format as the output to those + files. You can add a '+' or '-' as a prefix allowing simple addition + and removal of devices. So a prefix '+' adds the devices from your list + to the already existing ones, '-' removes the listed devices from the + existing ones and if no prefix is given it replaces all existing ones + with the listed ones. If you remove devices they are expected to turn + off. If you add devices that are already part of the other iga they are + removed there and added to the new one. + + Examples: + + Add CRT as output device to iga1:: + + # echo +CRT > /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices + + Remove (turn off) DVP1 and LVDS1 as output devices of iga2:: + + # echo -DVP1,LVDS1 > /proc/viafb/iga2/output_devices + + Replace all iga1 output devices by CRT:: + + # echo CRT > /proc/viafb/iga1/output_devices + + +Bootup with viafb +----------------- + +Add the following line to your grub.conf:: + + append = "video=viafb:viafb_mode=1024x768,viafb_bpp=32,viafb_refresh=85" + + +VIA Framebuffer modes +===================== + +.. include:: viafb.modes + :literal: |
