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 + +=================== +SB100 device driver +=================== + +sb1000 is a module network device driver for the General Instrument (also known +as NextLevel) SURFboard1000 internal cable modem board. This is an ISA card +which is used by a number of cable TV companies to provide cable modem access. +It's a one-way downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link +is provided by your regular phone modem. + +This driver was written by Franco Venturi <fventuri@mediaone.net>. He deserves +a great deal of thanks for this wonderful piece of code! + +Needed tools +============ + +Support for this device is now a part of the standard Linux kernel. The +driver source code file is drivers/net/sb1000.c. In addition to this +you will need: + +1. The "cmconfig" program. This is a utility which supplements "ifconfig" + to configure the cable modem and network interface (usually called "cm0"); + +2. Several PPP scripts which live in /etc/ppp to make connecting via your + cable modem easy. + + These utilities can be obtained from: + + http://www.jacksonville.net/~fventuri/ + + in Franco's original source code distribution .tar.gz file. Support for + the sb1000 driver can be found at: + + - http://web.archive.org/web/%2E/http://home.adelphia.net/~siglercm/sb1000.html + - http://web.archive.org/web/%2E/http://linuxpower.cx/~cable/ + + along with these utilities. + +3. The standard isapnp tools. These are necessary to configure your SB1000 + card at boot time (or afterwards by hand) since it's a PnP card. + + If you don't have these installed as a standard part of your Linux + distribution, you can find them at: + + http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/ + + or check your Linux distribution binary CD or their web site. For help with + isapnp, pnpdump, or /etc/isapnp.conf, go to: + + http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/isapnpfaq.html + +Using the driver +================ + +To make the SB1000 card work, follow these steps: + +1. Run ``make config``, or ``make menuconfig``, or ``make xconfig``, whichever + you prefer, in the top kernel tree directory to set up your kernel + configuration. Make sure to say "Y" to "Prompt for development drivers" + and to say "M" to the sb1000 driver. Also say "Y" or "M" to all the standard + networking questions to get TCP/IP and PPP networking support. + +2. **BEFORE** you build the kernel, edit drivers/net/sb1000.c. Make sure + to redefine the value of READ_DATA_PORT to match the I/O address used + by isapnp to access your PnP cards. This is the value of READPORT in + /etc/isapnp.conf or given by the output of pnpdump. + +3. Build and install the kernel and modules as usual. + +4. Boot your new kernel following the usual procedures. + +5. Set up to configure the new SB1000 PnP card by capturing the output + of "pnpdump" to a file and editing this file to set the correct I/O ports, + IRQ, and DMA settings for all your PnP cards. Make sure none of the settings + conflict with one another. Then test this configuration by running the + "isapnp" command with your new config file as the input. Check for + errors and fix as necessary. (As an aside, I use I/O ports 0x110 and + 0x310 and IRQ 11 for my SB1000 card and these work well for me. YMMV.) + Then save the finished config file as /etc/isapnp.conf for proper + configuration on subsequent reboots. + +6. Download the original file sb1000-1.1.2.tar.gz from Franco's site or one of + the others referenced above. As root, unpack it into a temporary directory + and do a ``make cmconfig`` and then ``install -c cmconfig /usr/local/sbin``. + Don't do ``make install`` because it expects to find all the utilities built + and ready for installation, not just cmconfig. + +7. As root, copy all the files under the ppp/ subdirectory in Franco's + tar file into /etc/ppp, being careful not to overwrite any files that are + already in there. Then modify ppp@gi-on to set the correct login name, + phone number, and frequency for the cable modem. Also edit pap-secrets + to specify your login name and password and any site-specific information + you need. + +8. Be sure to modify /etc/ppp/firewall to use ipchains instead of + the older ipfwadm commands from the 2.0.x kernels. There's a neat utility to + convert ipfwadm commands to ipchains commands: + + http://users.dhp.com/~whisper/ipfwadm2ipchains/ + + You may also wish to modify the firewall script to implement a different + firewalling scheme. + +9. Start the PPP connection via the script /etc/ppp/ppp@gi-on. You must be + root to do this. It's better to use a utility like sudo to execute + frequently used commands like this with root permissions if possible. If you + connect successfully the cable modem interface will come up and you'll see a + driver message like this at the console:: + + cm0: sb1000 at (0x110,0x310), csn 1, S/N 0x2a0d16d8, IRQ 11. + sb1000.c:v1.1.2 6/01/98 (fventuri@mediaone.net) + + The "ifconfig" command should show two new interfaces, ppp0 and cm0. + + The command "cmconfig cm0" will give you information about the cable modem + interface. + +10. Try pinging a site via ``ping -c 5 www.yahoo.com``, for example. You should + see packets received. + +11. If you can't get site names (like www.yahoo.com) to resolve into + IP addresses (like 204.71.200.67), be sure your /etc/resolv.conf file + has no syntax errors and has the right nameserver IP addresses in it. + If this doesn't help, try something like ``ping -c 5 204.71.200.67`` to + see if the networking is running but the DNS resolution is where the + problem lies. + +12. If you still have problems, go to the support web sites mentioned above + and read the information and documentation there. + +Common problems +=============== + +1. Packets go out on the ppp0 interface but don't come back on the cm0 + interface. It looks like I'm connected but I can't even ping any + numerical IP addresses. (This happens predominantly on Debian systems due + to a default boot-time configuration script.) + +Solution + As root ``echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/cm0/rp_filter`` so it + can share the same IP address as the ppp0 interface. Note that this + command should probably be added to the /etc/ppp/cablemodem script + *right*between* the "/sbin/ifconfig" and "/sbin/cmconfig" commands. + You may need to do this to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ppp0/rp_filter as well. + If you do this to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default/rp_filter on each reboot + (in rc.local or some such) then any interfaces can share the same IP + addresses. + +2. I get "unresolved symbol" error messages on executing ``insmod sb1000.o``. + +Solution + You probably have a non-matching kernel source tree and + /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm header files. Make sure you + install the correct versions of the header files in these two directories. + Then rebuild and reinstall the kernel. + +3. When isapnp runs it reports an error, and my SB1000 card isn't working. + +Solution + There's a problem with later versions of isapnp using the "(CHECK)" + option in the lines that allocate the two I/O addresses for the SB1000 card. + This first popped up on RH 6.0. Delete "(CHECK)" for the SB1000 I/O addresses. + Make sure they don't conflict with any other pieces of hardware first! Then + rerun isapnp and go from there. + +4. I can't execute the /etc/ppp/ppp@gi-on file. + +Solution + As root do ``chmod ug+x /etc/ppp/ppp@gi-on``. + +5. The firewall script isn't working (with 2.2.x and higher kernels). + +Solution + Use the ipfwadm2ipchains script referenced above to convert the + /etc/ppp/firewall script from the deprecated ipfwadm commands to ipchains. + +6. I'm getting *tons* of firewall deny messages in the /var/kern.log, + /var/messages, and/or /var/syslog files, and they're filling up my /var + partition!!! + +Solution + First, tell your ISP that you're receiving DoS (Denial of Service) + and/or portscanning (UDP connection attempts) attacks! Look over the deny + messages to figure out what the attack is and where it's coming from. Next, + edit /etc/ppp/cablemodem and make sure the ",nobroadcast" option is turned on + to the "cmconfig" command (uncomment that line). If you're not receiving these + denied packets on your broadcast interface (IP address xxx.yyy.zzz.255 + typically), then someone is attacking your machine in particular. Be careful + out there.... + +7. Everything seems to work fine but my computer locks up after a while + (and typically during a lengthy download through the cable modem)! + +Solution + You may need to add a short delay in the driver to 'slow down' the + SURFboard because your PC might not be able to keep up with the transfer rate + of the SB1000. To do this, it's probably best to download Franco's + sb1000-1.1.2.tar.gz archive and build and install sb1000.o manually. You'll + want to edit the 'Makefile' and look for the 'SB1000_DELAY' + define. Uncomment those 'CFLAGS' lines (and comment out the default ones) + and try setting the delay to something like 60 microseconds with: + '-DSB1000_DELAY=60'. Then do ``make`` and as root ``make install`` and try + it out. If it still doesn't work or you like playing with the driver, you may + try other numbers. Remember though that the higher the delay, the slower the + driver (which slows down the rest of the PC too when it is actively + used). Thanks to Ed Daiga for this tip! + +Credits +======= + +This README came from Franco Venturi's original README file which is +still supplied with his driver .tar.gz archive. I and all other sb1000 users +owe Franco a tremendous "Thank you!" Additional thanks goes to Carl Patten +and Ralph Bonnell who are now managing the Linux SB1000 web site, and to +the SB1000 users who reported and helped debug the common problems listed +above. + + + Clemmitt Sigler + csigler@vt.edu |
