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.

It will not send pause frames. This may result in dropped frames. + + +Virtual Functions (VFs) +----------------------- +Use sysfs to enable VFs. +Valid Range: 0-64 + +For example:: + + echo $num_vf_enabled > /sys/class/net/$dev/device/sriov_numvfs //enable VFs + echo 0 > /sys/class/net/$dev/device/sriov_numvfs //disable VFs + +NOTE: Neither the device nor the driver control how VFs are mapped into config +space. Bus layout will vary by operating system. On operating systems that +support it, you can check sysfs to find the mapping. + +NOTE: When SR-IOV mode is enabled, hardware VLAN filtering and VLAN tag +stripping/insertion will remain enabled. Please remove the old VLAN filter +before the new VLAN filter is added. For example:: + + ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 100 // set vlan 100 for VF 0 + ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 0 // Delete vlan 100 + ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 200 // set a new vlan 200 for VF 0 + + +Additional Features and Configurations +====================================== + +Jumbo Frames +------------ +Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) +to a value larger than the default value of 1500. + +Use the ifconfig command to increase the MTU size. For example, enter the +following where <x> is the interface number:: + + ifconfig eth<x> mtu 9000 up + +Alternatively, you can use the ip command as follows:: + + ip link set mtu 9000 dev eth<x> + ip link set up dev eth<x> + +This setting is not saved across reboots. The setting change can be made +permanent by adding 'MTU=9000' to the file: + +- For RHEL: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<x> +- For SLES: /etc/sysconfig/network/<config_file> + +NOTE: The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 15342. This value coincides +with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 15364 bytes. + +NOTE: This driver will attempt to use multiple page sized buffers to receive +each jumbo packet. This should help to avoid buffer starvation issues when +allocating receive packets. + + +Generic Receive Offload, aka GRO +-------------------------------- +The driver supports the in-kernel software implementation of GRO. GRO has +shown that by coalescing Rx traffic into larger chunks of data, CPU +utilization can be significantly reduced when under large Rx load. GRO is an +evolution of the previously-used LRO interface. GRO is able to coalesce +other protocols besides TCP. It's also safe to use with configurations that +are problematic for LRO, namely bridging and iSCSI. + + + +Supported ethtool Commands and Options for Filtering +---------------------------------------------------- +-n --show-nfc + Retrieves the receive network flow classification configurations. + +rx-flow-hash tcp4|udp4|ah4|esp4|sctp4|tcp6|udp6|ah6|esp6|sctp6 + Retrieves the hash options for the specified network traffic type. + +-N --config-nfc + Configures the receive network flow classification. + +rx-flow-hash tcp4|udp4|ah4|esp4|sctp4|tcp6|udp6|ah6|esp6|sctp6 m|v|t|s|d|f|n|r + Configures the hash options for the specified network traffic type. + +- udp4: UDP over IPv4 +- udp6: UDP over IPv6 +- f Hash on bytes 0 and 1 of the Layer 4 header of the rx packet. +- n Hash on bytes 2 and 3 of the Layer 4 header of the rx packet. + + +Known Issues/Troubleshooting +============================ + +Enabling SR-IOV in a 64-bit Microsoft Windows Server 2012/R2 guest OS under Linux KVM +------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +KVM Hypervisor/VMM supports direct assignment of a PCIe device to a VM.
