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 + +=================================== +Identifier Locator Addressing (ILA) +=================================== + + +Introduction +============ + +Identifier-locator addressing (ILA) is a technique used with IPv6 that +differentiates between location and identity of a network node. Part of an +address expresses the immutable identity of the node, and another part +indicates the location of the node which can be dynamic. Identifier-locator +addressing can be used to efficiently implement overlay networks for +network virtualization as well as solutions for use cases in mobility. + +ILA can be thought of as means to implement an overlay network without +encapsulation. This is accomplished by performing network address +translation on destination addresses as a packet traverses a network. To +the network, an ILA translated packet appears to be no different than any +other IPv6 packet. For instance, if the transport protocol is TCP then an +ILA translated packet looks like just another TCP/IPv6 packet. The +advantage of this is that ILA is transparent to the network so that +optimizations in the network, such as ECMP, RSS, GRO, GSO, etc., just work. + +The ILA protocol is described in Internet-Draft draft-herbert-intarea-ila. + + +ILA terminology +=============== + + - Identifier + A number that identifies an addressable node in the network + independent of its location. ILA identifiers are sixty-four + bit values. + + - Locator + A network prefix that routes to a physical host. Locators + provide the topological location of an addressed node. ILA + locators are sixty-four bit prefixes. + + - ILA mapping + A mapping of an ILA identifier to a locator (or to a + locator and meta data). An ILA domain maintains a database + that contains mappings for all destinations in the domain. + + - SIR address + An IPv6 address composed of a SIR prefix (upper sixty- + four bits) and an identifier (lower sixty-four bits). + SIR addresses are visible to applications and provide a + means for them to address nodes independent of their + location. + + - ILA address + An IPv6 address composed of a locator (upper sixty-four + bits) and an identifier (low order sixty-four bits). ILA + addresses are never visible to an application. + + - ILA host + An end host that is capable of performing ILA translations + on transmit or receive. + + - ILA router + A network node that performs ILA translation and forwarding + of translated packets. + + - ILA forwarding cache + A type of ILA router that only maintains a working set + cache of mappings. + + - ILA node + A network node capable of performing ILA translations. This + can be an ILA router, ILA forwarding cache, or ILA host. + + +Operation +========= + +There are two fundamental operations with ILA: + + - Translate a SIR address to an ILA address. This is performed on ingress + to an ILA overlay. + + - Translate an ILA address to a SIR address. This is performed on egress + from the ILA overlay. + +ILA can be deployed either on end hosts or intermediate devices in the +network; these are provided by "ILA hosts" and "ILA routers" respectively. +Configuration and datapath for these two points of deployment is somewhat +different. + +The diagram below illustrates the flow of packets through ILA as well +as showing ILA hosts and routers:: + + +--------+ +--------+ + | Host A +-+ +--->| Host B | + | | | (2) ILA (') | | + +--------+ | ...addressed....

This is a problem for intermediate devices, +including checksum offload in NICs, that process the checksum. There are +three options to deal with this: + +- no action Allow the checksum to be incorrect on the wire. Before + a receiver verifies a checksum the ILA to SIR address + translation must be done. + +- adjust transport checksum + When ILA translation is performed the packet is parsed + and if a transport layer checksum is found then it is + adjusted to reflect the correct checksum per the + translated address. + +- checksum neutral mapping + When an address is translated the difference can be offset + elsewhere in a part of the packet that is covered by + the checksum. The low order sixteen bits of the identifier + are used. This method is preferred since it doesn't require + parsing a packet beyond the IP header and in most cases the + adjustment can be precomputed and saved with the mapping. + +Note that the checksum neutral adjustment affects the low order sixteen +bits of the identifier. When ILA to SIR address translation is done on +egress the low order bits are restored to the original value which +restores the identifier as it was originally sent. + + +Identifier types +================ + +ILA defines different types of identifiers for different use cases. + +The defined types are: + + 0: interface identifier + + 1: locally unique identifier + + 2: virtual networking identifier for IPv4 address + + 3: virtual networking identifier for IPv6 unicast address + + 4: virtual networking identifier for IPv6 multicast address + + 5: non-local address identifier + +In the current implementation of kernel ILA only locally unique identifiers +(LUID) are supported. LUID allows for a generic, unformatted 64 bit +identifier. + + +Identifier formats +================== + +Kernel ILA supports two optional fields in an identifier for formatting: +"C-bit" and "identifier type". The presence of these fields is determined +by configuration as demonstrated below. + +If the identifier type is present it occupies the three highest order +bits of an identifier. The possible values are given in the above list. + +If the C-bit is present, this is used as an indication that checksum +neutral mapping has been done. The C-bit can only be set in an +ILA address, never a SIR address. + +In the simplest format the identifier types, C-bit, and checksum +adjustment value are not present so an identifier is considered an +unstructured sixty-four bit value:: + + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | Identifier | + + + + | | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + +The checksum neutral adjustment may be configured to always be +present using neutral-map-auto. In this case there is no C-bit, but the +checksum adjustment is in the low order 16 bits. The identifier is +still sixty-four bits:: + + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | Identifier | + | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | | Checksum-neutral adjustment | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + +The C-bit may used to explicitly indicate that checksum neutral +mapping has been applied to an ILA address. The format is:: + + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | |C| Identifier | + | +-+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | | Checksum-neutral adjustment | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + +The identifier type field may be present to indicate the identifier +type. If it is not present then the type is inferred based on mapping +configuration. The checksum neutral adjustment may automatically +used with the identifier type as illustrated below:: + + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | Type| Identifier | + +-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | | Checksum-neutral adjustment | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + +If the identifier type and the C-bit can be present simultaneously so +the identifier format would be:: + + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | Type|C| Identifier | + +-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | | Checksum-neutral adjustment | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + + +Configuration +============= + +There are two methods to configure ILA mappings. One is by using LWT routes +and the other is ila_xlat (called from NFHOOK PREROUTING hook). ila_xlat +is intended to be used in the receive path for ILA hosts . + +An ILA router has also been implemented in XDP. Description of that is +outside the scope of this document. + +The usage of for ILA LWT routes is: + +ip route add DEST/128 encap ila LOC csum-mode MODE ident-type TYPE via ADDR + +Destination (DEST) can either be a SIR address (for an ILA host or ingress +ILA router) or an ILA address (egress ILA router). LOC is the sixty-four +bit locator (with format W:X:Y:Z) that overwrites the upper sixty-four +bits of the destination address. Checksum MODE is one of "no-action", +"adj-transport", "neutral-map", and "neutral-map-auto". If neutral-map is +set then the C-bit will be present. Identifier TYPE one of "luid" or +"use-format." In the case of use-format, the identifier type field is +present and the effective type is taken from that. + +The usage of ila_xlat is: + +ip ila add loc_match MATCH loc LOC csum-mode MODE ident-type TYPE + +MATCH indicates the incoming locator that must be matched to apply +a the translaiton. LOC is the locator that overwrites the upper +sixty-four bits of the destination address. MODE and TYPE have the +same meanings as described above. + + +Some examples +============= + +:: + + # Configure an ILA route that uses checksum neutral mapping as well + # as type field. Note that the type field is set in the SIR address + # (the 2000 implies type is 1 which is LUID). + ip route add 3333:0:0:1:2000:0:1:87/128 encap ila 2001:0:87:0 \ + csum-mode neutral-map ident-type use-format + + # Configure an ILA LWT route that uses auto checksum neutral mapping + # (no C-bit) and configure identifier type to be LUID so that the + # identifier type field will not be present. + ip route add 3333:0:0:1:2000:0:2:87/128 encap ila 2001:0:87:1 \ + csum-mode neutral-map-auto ident-type luid + + ila_xlat configuration + + # Configure an ILA to SIR mapping that matches a locator and overwrites + # it with a SIR address (3333:0:0:1 in this example).
