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(). ...

+xpad - Linux USB driver for Xbox compatible controllers
+=======================================================
+
+This driver exposes all first-party and third-party Xbox compatible
+controllers. It has a long history and has enjoyed considerable usage
+as Window's xinput library caused most PC games to focus on Xbox
+controller compatibility.
+
+Due to backwards compatibility all buttons are reported as digital.
+This only effects Original Xbox controllers. All later controller models
+have only digital face buttons.
+
+Rumble is supported on some models of Xbox 360 controllers but not of
+Original Xbox controllers nor on Xbox One controllers. As of writing
+the Xbox One's rumble protocol has not been reverse engineered but in
+the future could be supported.
+
+
+Notes
+=====
+
+The number of buttons/axes reported varies based on 3 things:
+
+- if you are using a known controller
+- if you are using a known dance pad
+- if using an unknown device (one not listed below), what you set in the
+ module configuration for "Map D-PAD to buttons rather than axes for unknown
+ pads" (module option dpad_to_buttons)
+
+If you set dpad_to_buttons to N and you are using an unknown device
+the driver will map the directional pad to axes (X/Y).
+If you said Y it will map the d-pad to buttons, which is needed for dance
+style games to function correctly. The default is Y.
+
+dpad_to_buttons has no effect for known pads. A erroneous commit message
+claimed dpad_to_buttons could be used to force behavior on known devices.
+This is not true. Both dpad_to_buttons and triggers_to_buttons only affect
+unknown controllers.
+
+
+Normal Controllers
+------------------
+
+With a normal controller, the directional pad is mapped to its own X/Y axes.
+The jstest-program from joystick-1.2.15 (jstest-version 2.1.0) will report 8
+axes and 10 buttons.
+
+All 8 axes work, though they all have the same range (-32768..32767)
+and the zero-setting is not correct for the triggers (I don't know if that
+is some limitation of jstest, since the input device setup should be fine. I
+didn't have a look at jstest itself yet).
+
+All of the 10 buttons work (in digital mode). The six buttons on the
+right side (A, B, X, Y, black, white) are said to be "analog" and
+report their values as 8 bit unsigned, not sure what this is good for.
+
+I tested the controller with quake3, and configuration and
+in game functionality were OK. However, I find it rather difficult to
+play first person shooters with a pad. Your mileage may vary.
+
+
+Xbox Dance Pads
+---------------
+
+When using a known dance pad, jstest will report 6 axes and 14 buttons.
+
+For dance style pads (like the redoctane pad) several changes
+have been made. The old driver would map the d-pad to axes, resulting
+in the driver being unable to report when the user was pressing both
+left+right or up+down, making DDR style games unplayable.
+
+Known dance pads automatically map the d-pad to buttons and will work
+correctly out of the box.
+
+If your dance pad is recognized by the driver but is using axes instead
+of buttons, see section 0.3 - Unknown Controllers
+
+I've tested this with Stepmania, and it works quite well.
+
+
+Unknown Controllers
+-------------------
+
+If you have an unknown xbox controller, it should work just fine with
+the default settings.
+
+HOWEVER if you have an unknown dance pad not listed below, it will not
+work UNLESS you set "dpad_to_buttons" to 1 in the module configuration.
+
+
+USB adapters
+============
+
+All generations of Xbox controllers speak USB over the wire.
+
+- Original Xbox controllers use a proprietary connector and require adapters.
+- Wireless Xbox 360 controllers require a 'Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver
+ for Windows'
+- Wired Xbox 360 controllers use standard USB connectors.
+- Xbox One controllers can be wireless but speak Wi-Fi Direct and are not
+ yet supported.
+- Xbox One controllers can be wired and use standard Micro-USB connectors.
+
+
+
+Original Xbox USB adapters
+--------------------------
+
+Using this driver with an Original Xbox controller requires an
+adapter cable to break out the proprietary connector's pins to USB.
+You can buy these online fairly cheap, or build your own.
+
+Such a cable is pretty easy to build. The Controller itself is a USB
+compound device (a hub with three ports for two expansion slots and
+the controller device) with the only difference in a nonstandard connector
+(5 pins vs. 4 on standard USB 1.0 connectors).
+
+You just need to solder a USB connector onto the cable and keep the
+yellow wire unconnected. The other pins have the same order on both
+connectors so there is no magic to it. Detailed info on these matters
+can be found on the net ([1]_, [2]_, [3]_).
+
+Thanks to the trip splitter found on the cable you don't even need to cut the
+original one. You can buy an extension cable and cut that instead. That way,
+you can still use the controller with your X-Box, if you have one ;)
+
+
+
+Driver Installation
+===================
+
+Once you have the adapter cable, if needed, and the controller connected
+the xpad module should be auto loaded. To confirm you can cat
+/sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices. There should be an entry like those:

+
+
+Supported Controllers
+=====================
+
+For a full list of supported controllers and associated vendor and product
+IDs see the xpad_device[] array\ [4]_.
+
+As of the historic version 0.0.6 (2006-10-10) the following devices
+were supported::
+
+ original Microsoft XBOX controller (US), vendor=0x045e, product=0x0202
+ smaller Microsoft XBOX controller (US), vendor=0x045e, product=0x0289
+ original Microsoft XBOX controller (Japan), vendor=0x045e, product=0x0285
+ InterAct PowerPad Pro (Germany), vendor=0x05fd, product=0x107a
+ RedOctane Xbox Dance Pad (US), vendor=0x0c12, product=0x8809
+
+Unrecognized models of Xbox controllers should function as Generic
+Xbox controllers. Unrecognized Dance Pad controllers require setting
+the module option 'dpad_to_buttons'.
+
+If you have an unrecognized controller please see 0.3 - Unknown Controllers
+
+
+Manual Testing
+==============
+
+To test this driver's functionality you may use 'jstest'.
+
+For example::
+
+ > modprobe xpad
+ > modprobe joydev
+ > jstest /dev/js0
+
+If you're using a normal controller, there should be a single line showing
+18 inputs (8 axes, 10 buttons), and its values should change if you move
+the sticks and push the buttons. If you're using a dance pad, it should
+show 20 inputs (6 axes, 14 buttons).
+
+It works? Voila, you're done ;)
+
+
+
+Thanks
+======
+
+I have to thank ITO Takayuki for the detailed info on his site
+ http://euc.jp/periphs/xbox-controller.ja.html.
+
+His useful info and both the usb-skeleton as well as the iforce input driver
+(Greg Kroah-Hartmann; Vojtech Pavlik) helped a lot in rapid prototyping
+the basic functionality.
