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.

The driver initializes and seeds these +with one page buffers. + +On Tx, all transmitted frames are returned to the driver through Tx +confirmation frame queues. The driver is then responsible for freeing the +buffers. In order to do this properly, a backpointer is added to the buffer +before transmission that points to the skb. When the buffer returns to the +driver on a confirmation FQ, the skb can be correctly consumed. + +DPAA Ethernet Features +====================== + +Currently the DPAA Ethernet driver enables the basic features required for +a Linux Ethernet driver. The support for advanced features will be added +gradually. + +The driver has Rx and Tx checksum offloading for UDP and TCP. Currently the Rx +checksum offload feature is enabled by default and cannot be controlled through +ethtool. Also, rx-flow-hash and rx-hashing was added. The addition of RSS +provides a big performance boost for the forwarding scenarios, allowing +different traffic flows received by one interface to be processed by different +CPUs in parallel. + +The driver has support for multiple prioritized Tx traffic classes. Priorities +range from 0 (lowest) to 3 (highest). These are mapped to HW workqueues with +strict priority levels. Each traffic class contains NR_CPU TX queues. By +default, only one traffic class is enabled and the lowest priority Tx queues +are used. Higher priority traffic classes can be enabled with the mqprio +qdisc. For example, all four traffic classes are enabled on an interface with +the following command. Furthermore, skb priority levels are mapped to traffic +classes as follows: + + * priorities 0 to 3 - traffic class 0 (low priority) + * priorities 4 to 7 - traffic class 1 (medium-low priority) + * priorities 8 to 11 - traffic class 2 (medium-high priority) + * priorities 12 to 15 - traffic class 3 (high priority) + +:: + + tc qdisc add dev <int> root handle 1: \ + mqprio num_tc 4 map 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 hw 1 + +DPAA IRQ Affinity and Receive Side Scaling +========================================== + +Traffic coming on the DPAA Rx queues or on the DPAA Tx confirmation +queues is seen by the CPU as ingress traffic on a certain portal. +The DPAA QMan portal interrupts are affined each to a certain CPU. +The same portal interrupt services all the QMan portal consumers. + +By default the DPAA Ethernet driver enables RSS, making use of the +DPAA FMan Parser and Keygen blocks to distribute traffic on 128 +hardware frame queues using a hash on IP v4/v6 source and destination +and L4 source and destination ports, in present in the received frame. +When RSS is disabled, all traffic received by a certain interface is +received on the default Rx frame queue. The default DPAA Rx frame +queues are configured to put the received traffic into a pool channel +that allows any available CPU portal to dequeue the ingress traffic. +The default frame queues have the HOLDACTIVE option set, ensuring that +traffic bursts from a certain queue are serviced by the same CPU. +This ensures a very low rate of frame reordering. A drawback of this +is that only one CPU at a time can service the traffic received by a +certain interface when RSS is not enabled. + +To implement RSS, the DPAA Ethernet driver allocates an extra set of +128 Rx frame queues that are configured to dedicated channels, in a +round-robin manner. The mapping of the frame queues to CPUs is now +hardcoded, there is no indirection table to move traffic for a certain +FQ (hash result) to another CPU. The ingress traffic arriving on one +of these frame queues will arrive at the same portal and will always +be processed by the same CPU. This ensures intra-flow order preservation +and workload distribution for multiple traffic flows. + +RSS can be turned off for a certain interface using ethtool, i.e.:: + + # ethtool -N fm1-mac9 rx-flow-hash tcp4 "" + +To turn it back on, one needs to set rx-flow-hash for tcp4/6 or udp4/6:: + + # ethtool -N fm1-mac9 rx-flow-hash udp4 sfdn + +There is no independent control for individual protocols, any command +run for one of tcp4|udp4|ah4|esp4|sctp4|tcp6|udp6|ah6|esp6|sctp6 is +going to control the rx-flow-hashing for all protocols on that interface. + +Besides using the FMan Keygen computed hash for spreading traffic on the +128 Rx FQs, the DPAA Ethernet driver also sets the skb hash value when +the NETIF_F_RXHASH feature is on (active by default). This can be turned +on or off through ethtool, i.e.:: + + # ethtool -K fm1-mac9 rx-hashing off + # ethtool -k fm1-mac9 | grep hash + receive-hashing: off + # ethtool -K fm1-mac9 rx-hashing on + Actual changes: + receive-hashing: on + # ethtool -k fm1-mac9 | grep hash + receive-hashing: on + +Please note that Rx hashing depends upon the rx-flow-hashing being on +for that interface - turning off rx-flow-hashing will also disable the +rx-hashing (without ethtool reporting it as off as that depends on the +NETIF_F_RXHASH feature flag). + +Debugging +========= + +The following statistics are exported for each interface through ethtool: + + - interrupt count per CPU + - Rx packets count per CPU + - Tx packets count per CPU + - Tx confirmed packets count per CPU + - Tx S/G frames count per CPU + - Tx error count per CPU + - Rx error count per CPU + - Rx error count per type + - congestion related statistics: + + - congestion status + - time spent in congestion + - number of time the device entered congestion + - dropped packets count per cause + +The driver also exports the following information in sysfs: + + - the FQ IDs for each FQ type + /sys/devices/platform/soc/<addr>.fman/<addr>.ethernet/dpaa-ethernet.<id>/net/fm<nr>-mac<nr>/fqids + + - the ID of the buffer pool in use + /sys/devices/platform/soc/<addr>.fman/<addr>.ethernet/dpaa-ethernet.<id>/net/fm<nr>-mac<nr>/bpids |
