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.

Since there are two +DACs, both streams are handled independently unlike the 4/6ch multi- +channel playbacks in the section below. + +As default, ALSA driver assigns the first PCM device (i.e. hw:0,0 for +card#0) for front and 4/6ch playbacks, while the second PCM device +(hw:0,1) is assigned to the second DAC for rear playback. + +There are slight differences between the two DACs: + +- The first DAC supports U8 and S16LE formats, while the second DAC + supports only S16LE. +- The second DAC supports only two channel stereo. + +Please note that the CM8x38 DAC doesn't support continuous playback +rate but only fixed rates: 5512, 8000, 11025, 16000, 22050, 32000, +44100 and 48000 Hz. + +The rear output can be heard only when "Four Channel Mode" switch is +disabled. Otherwise no signal will be routed to the rear speakers. +As default it's turned on. + +.. WARNING:: + When "Four Channel Mode" switch is off, the output from rear speakers + will be FULL VOLUME regardless of Master and PCM volumes [#]_. + This might damage your audio equipment. Please disconnect speakers + before your turn off this switch. + + +.. [#] + Well.. I once got the output with correct volume (i.e. same with the + front one) and was so excited. It was even with "Four Channel" bit + on and "double DAC" mode. Actually I could hear separate 4 channels + from front and rear speakers! But.. after reboot, all was gone. + It's a very pity that I didn't save the register dump at that + time.. Maybe there is an unknown register to achieve this... + +If your card has an extra output jack for the rear output, the rear +playback should be routed there as default. If not, there is a +control switch in the driver "Line-In As Rear", which you can change +via alsamixer or somewhat else. When this switch is on, line-in jack +is used as rear output. + +There are two more controls regarding to the rear output. +The "Exchange DAC" switch is used to exchange front and rear playback +routes, i.e. the 2nd DAC is output from front output. + + +4/6 Multi-Channel Playback +-------------------------- + +The recent CM8738 chips support for the 4/6 multi-channel playback +function. This is useful especially for AC3 decoding. + +When the multi-channel is supported, the driver name has a suffix +"-MC" such like "CMI8738-MC6". You can check this name from +/proc/asound/cards. + +When the 4/6-ch output is enabled, the second DAC accepts up to 6 (or +4) channels. While the dual DAC supports two different rates or +formats, the 4/6-ch playback supports only the same condition for all +channels. Since the multi-channel playback mode uses both DACs, you +cannot operate with full-duplex. + +The 4.0 and 5.1 modes are defined as the pcm "surround40" and "surround51" +in alsa-lib. For example, you can play a WAV file with 6 channels like +:: + + % aplay -Dsurround51 sixchannels.wav + +For programming the 4/6 channel playback, you need to specify the PCM +channels as you like and set the format S16LE. For example, for playback +with 4 channels, +:: + + snd_pcm_hw_params_set_access(pcm, hw, SND_PCM_ACCESS_RW_INTERLEAVED); + // or mmap if you like + snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format(pcm, hw, SND_PCM_FORMAT_S16_LE); + snd_pcm_hw_params_set_channels(pcm, hw, 4); + +and use the interleaved 4 channel data. + +There are some control switches affecting to the speaker connections: + +Line-In Mode + an enum control to change the behavior of line-in + jack. Either "Line-In", "Rear Output" or "Bass Output" can + be selected. The last item is available only with model 039 + or newer. + When "Rear Output" is chosen, the surround channels 3 and 4 + are output to line-in jack. +Mic-In Mode + an enum control to change the behavior of mic-in + jack. Either "Mic-In" or "Center/LFE Output" can be + selected. + When "Center/LFE Output" is chosen, the center and bass + channels (channels 5 and 6) are output to mic-in jack. + +Digital I/O +----------- + +The CM8x38 provides the excellent SPDIF capability with very cheap +price (yes, that's the reason I bought the card :) + +The SPDIF playback and capture are done via the third PCM device +(hw:0,2). Usually this is assigned to the PCM device "spdif". +The available rates are 44100 and 48000 Hz. +For playback with aplay, you can run like below: +:: + + % aplay -Dhw:0,2 foo.wav + +or + +:: + + % aplay -Dspdif foo.wav + +24bit format is also supported experimentally. + +The playback and capture over SPDIF use normal DAC and ADC, +respectively, so you cannot playback both analog and digital streams +simultaneously. + +To enable SPDIF output, you need to turn on "IEC958 Output Switch" +control via mixer or alsactl ("IEC958" is the official name of +so-called S/PDIF). Then you'll see the red light on from the card so +you know that's working obviously :) +The SPDIF input is always enabled, so you can hear SPDIF input data +from line-out with "IEC958 In Monitor" switch at any time (see +below). + +You can play via SPDIF even with the first device (hw:0,0), +but SPDIF is enabled only when the proper format (S16LE), sample rate +(441100 or 48000) and channels (2) are used. Otherwise it's turned +off. (Also don't forget to turn on "IEC958 Output Switch", too.) + + +Additionally there are relevant control switches: + +IEC958 Mix Analog + Mix analog PCM playback and FM-OPL/3 streams and + output through SPDIF. This switch appears only on old chip + models (CM8738 033 and 037). + + Note: without this control you can output PCM to SPDIF. + This is "mixing" of streams, so e.g. it's not for AC3 output + (see the next section). + +IEC958 In Select + Select SPDIF input, the internal CD-in (false) + and the external input (true). + +IEC958 Loop + SPDIF input data is loop back into SPDIF + output (aka bypass) + +IEC958 Copyright + Set the copyright bit. + +IEC958 5V + Select 0.5V (coax) or 5V (optical) interface. + On some cards this doesn't work and you need to change the + configuration with hardware dip-switch. + +IEC958 In Monitor + SPDIF input is routed to DAC. + +IEC958 In Phase Inverse + Set SPDIF input format as inverse. + [FIXME: this doesn't work on all chips..] + +IEC958 In Valid + Set input validity flag detection. + +Note: When "PCM Playback Switch" is on, you'll hear the digital output +stream through analog line-out. + + +The AC3 (RAW DIGITAL) OUTPUT +---------------------------- + +The driver supports raw digital (typically AC3) i/o over SPDIF. This +can be toggled via IEC958 playback control, but usually you need to +access it via alsa-lib. See alsa-lib documents for more details. + +On the raw digital mode, the "PCM Playback Switch" is automatically +turned off so that non-audio data is heard from the analog line-out. +Similarly the following switches are off: "IEC958 Mix Analog" and +"IEC958 Loop". The switches are resumed after closing the SPDIF PCM +device automatically to the previous state. + +On the model 033, AC3 is implemented by the software conversion in +the alsa-lib. If you need to bypass the software conversion of IEC958 +subframes, pass the "soft_ac3=0" module option. This doesn't matter +on the newer models. + + +ANALOG MIXER INTERFACE +---------------------- + +The mixer interface on CM8x38 is similar to SB16. +There are Master, PCM, Synth, CD, Line, Mic and PC Speaker playback +volumes. Synth, CD, Line and Mic have playback and capture switches, +too, as well as SB16. + +In addition to the standard SB mixer, CM8x38 provides more functions. +- PCM playback switch +- PCM capture switch (to capture the data sent to DAC) +- Mic Boost switch +- Mic capture volume +- Aux playback volume/switch and capture switch +- 3D control switch + + +MIDI CONTROLLER +--------------- + +With CMI8338 chips, the MPU401-UART interface is disabled as default. +You need to set the module option "mpu_port" to a valid I/O port address +to enable MIDI support. Valid I/O ports are 0x300, 0x310, 0x320 and +0x330. Choose a value that doesn't conflict with other cards. + +With CMI8738 and newer chips, the MIDI interface is enabled by default +and the driver automatically chooses a port address. + +There is *no* hardware wavetable function on this chip (except for +OPL3 synth below). +What's said as MIDI synth on Windows is a software synthesizer +emulation. On Linux use TiMidity or other softsynth program for +playing MIDI music. + + +FM OPL/3 Synth +-------------- + +The FM OPL/3 is also enabled as default only for the first card. +Set "fm_port" module option for more cards. + +The output quality of FM OPL/3 is, however, very weird. +I don't know why.. + +CMI8768 and newer chips do not have the FM synth. + + +Joystick and Modem +------------------ + +The legacy joystick is supported. To enable the joystick support, pass +joystick_port=1 module option. The value 1 means the auto-detection. +If the auto-detection fails, try to pass the exact I/O address. + +The modem is enabled dynamically via a card control switch "Modem". + + +Debugging Information +--------------------- + +The registers are shown in /proc/asound/cardX/cmipci. If you have any +problem (especially unexpected behavior of mixer), please attach the +output of this proc file together with the bug report. |
