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 +.. include:: <isonum.txt> + +========================================================= +Special Usage Model of the ACPI Control Method Lid Device +========================================================= + +:Copyright: |copy| 2016, Intel Corporation + +:Author: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com> + +Abstract +======== +Platforms containing lids convey lid state (open/close) to OSPMs +using a control method lid device. To implement this, the AML tables issue +Notify(lid_device, 0x80) to notify the OSPMs whenever the lid state has +changed. The _LID control method for the lid device must be implemented to +report the "current" state of the lid as either "opened" or "closed". + +For most platforms, both the _LID method and the lid notifications are +reliable. However, there are exceptions. In order to work with these +exceptional buggy platforms, special restrictions and exceptions should be +taken into account. This document describes the restrictions and the +exceptions of the Linux ACPI lid device driver. + + +Restrictions of the returning value of the _LID control method +============================================================== + +The _LID control method is described to return the "current" lid state. +However the word of "current" has ambiguity, some buggy AML tables return +the lid state upon the last lid notification instead of returning the lid +state upon the last _LID evaluation. There won't be difference when the +_LID control method is evaluated during the runtime, the problem is its +initial returning value. When the AML tables implement this control method +with cached value, the initial returning value is likely not reliable. +There are platforms always return "closed" as initial lid state. + +Restrictions of the lid state change notifications +================================================== + +There are buggy AML tables never notifying when the lid device state is +changed to "opened". Thus the "opened" notification is not guaranteed. But +it is guaranteed that the AML tables always notify "closed" when the lid +state is changed to "closed". The "closed" notification is normally used to +trigger some system power saving operations on Windows. Since it is fully +tested, it is reliable from all AML tables. + +Exceptions for the userspace users of the ACPI lid device driver +================================================================ + +The ACPI button driver exports the lid state to the userspace via the +following file:: + + /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state + +This file actually calls the _LID control method described above. And given +the previous explanation, it is not reliable enough on some platforms. So +it is advised for the userspace program to not to solely rely on this file +to determine the actual lid state. + +The ACPI button driver emits the following input event to the userspace: + * SW_LID + +The ACPI lid device driver is implemented to try to deliver the platform +triggered events to the userspace. However, given the fact that the buggy +firmware cannot make sure "opened"/"closed" events are paired, the ACPI +button driver uses the following 3 modes in order not to trigger issues. + +If the userspace hasn't been prepared to ignore the unreliable "opened" +events and the unreliable initial state notification, Linux users can use +the following kernel parameters to handle the possible issues: + +A. button.lid_init_state=method: + When this option is specified, the ACPI button driver reports the + initial lid state using the returning value of the _LID control method + and whether the "opened"/"closed" events are paired fully relies on the + firmware implementation. + + This option can be used to fix some platforms where the returning value + of the _LID control method is reliable but the initial lid state + notification is missing. + + This option is the default behavior during the period the userspace + isn't ready to handle the buggy AML tables. + +B. button.lid_init_state=open: + When this option is specified, the ACPI button driver always reports the + initial lid state as "opened" and whether the "opened"/"closed" events + are paired fully relies on the firmware implementation. + + This may fix some platforms where the returning value of the _LID + control method is not reliable and the initial lid state notification is + missing. + +If the userspace has been prepared to ignore the unreliable "opened" events +and the unreliable initial state notification, Linux users should always +use the following kernel parameter: + +C. button.lid_init_state=ignore: + When this option is specified, the ACPI button driver never reports the + initial lid state and there is a compensation mechanism implemented to + ensure that the reliable "closed" notifications can always be delivered + to the userspace by always pairing "closed" input events with complement + "opened" input events. But there is still no guarantee that the "opened" + notifications can be delivered to the userspace when the lid is actually + opens given that some AML tables do not send "opened" notifications + reliably. + + In this mode, if everything is correctly implemented by the platform + firmware, the old userspace programs should still work. Otherwise, the + new userspace programs are required to work with the ACPI button driver. + This option will be the default behavior after the userspace is ready to + handle the buggy AML tables. |
