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.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +========================== +KSMBD - SMB3 Kernel Server +========================== + +KSMBD is a linux kernel server which implements SMB3 protocol in kernel space +for sharing files over network. + +KSMBD architecture +================== + +The subset of performance related operations belong in kernelspace and +the other subset which belong to operations which are not really related with +performance in userspace. So, DCE/RPC management that has historically resulted +into number of buffer overflow issues and dangerous security bugs and user +account management are implemented in user space as ksmbd.mountd. +File operations that are related with performance (open/read/write/close etc.) +in kernel space (ksmbd). This also allows for easier integration with VFS +interface for all file operations. + +ksmbd (kernel daemon) +--------------------- + +When the server daemon is started, It starts up a forker thread +(ksmbd/interface name) at initialization time and open a dedicated port 445 +for listening to SMB requests. Whenever new clients make request, Forker +thread will accept the client connection and fork a new thread for dedicated +communication channel between the client and the server. It allows for parallel +processing of SMB requests(commands) from clients as well as allowing for new +clients to make new connections. Each instance is named ksmbd/1~n(port number) +to indicate connected clients. Depending on the SMB request types, each new +thread can decide to pass through the commands to the user space (ksmbd.mountd), +currently DCE/RPC commands are identified to be handled through the user space. +To further utilize the linux kernel, it has been chosen to process the commands +as workitems and to be executed in the handlers of the ksmbd-io kworker threads. +It allows for multiplexing of the handlers as the kernel take care of initiating +extra worker threads if the load is increased and vice versa, if the load is +decreased it destroys the extra worker threads. So, after connection is +established with client. Dedicated ksmbd/1..n(port number) takes complete +ownership of receiving/parsing of SMB commands. Each received command is worked +in parallel i.e., There can be multiple clients commands which are worked in +parallel. After receiving each command a separated kernel workitem is prepared +for each command which is further queued to be handled by ksmbd-io kworkers. +So, each SMB workitem is queued to the kworkers. This allows the benefit of load +sharing to be managed optimally by the default kernel and optimizing client +performance by handling client commands in parallel. + +ksmbd.mountd (user space daemon) +-------------------------------- + +ksmbd.mountd is userspace process to, transfer user account and password that +are registered using ksmbd.adduser (part of utils for user space). Further it +allows sharing information parameters that parsed from smb.conf to ksmbd in +kernel. For the execution part it has a daemon which is continuously running +and connected to the kernel interface using netlink socket, it waits for the +requests (dcerpc and share/user info). It handles RPC calls (at a minimum few +dozen) that are most important for file server from NetShareEnum and +NetServerGetInfo. Complete DCE/RPC response is prepared from the user space +and passed over to the associated kernel thread for the client. + + +KSMBD Feature Status +==================== + +============================== ================================================= +Feature name Status +============================== ================================================= +Dialects Supported. SMB2.1 SMB3.0, SMB3.1.1 dialects + (intentionally excludes security vulnerable SMB1 + dialect). +Auto Negotiation Supported. +Compound Request Supported. +Oplock Cache Mechanism Supported. +SMB2 leases(v1 lease) Supported. +Directory leases(v2 lease) Planned for future. +Multi-credits Supported. +NTLM/NTLMv2 Supported. +HMAC-SHA256 Signing Supported. +Secure negotiate Supported. +Signing Update Supported. +Pre-authentication integrity Supported. +SMB3 encryption(CCM, GCM) Supported.
