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.

Use of this option is discouraged; + applications should just specify a ``NULL`` pointer here. + +``length`` + Length of the memory area to map. This must be the same value as + returned by the driver in the struct + :c:type:`v4l2_buffer` ``length`` field for the + single-planar API, and the same value as returned by the driver in + the struct :c:type:`v4l2_plane` ``length`` field for + the multi-planar API. + +``prot`` + The ``prot`` argument describes the desired memory protection. + Regardless of the device type and the direction of data exchange it + should be set to ``PROT_READ`` | ``PROT_WRITE``, permitting read + and write access to image buffers. Drivers should support at least + this combination of flags. + + .. note:: + + #. The Linux ``videobuf`` kernel module, which is used by some + drivers supports only ``PROT_READ`` | ``PROT_WRITE``. When the + driver does not support the desired protection, the + :c:func:`mmap()` function fails. + + #. Device memory accesses (e. g. the memory on a graphics card + with video capturing hardware) may incur a performance penalty + compared to main memory accesses, or reads may be significantly + slower than writes or vice versa. Other I/O methods may be more + efficient in such case. + +``flags`` + The ``flags`` parameter specifies the type of the mapped object, + mapping options and whether modifications made to the mapped copy of + the page are private to the process or are to be shared with other + references. + + ``MAP_FIXED`` requests that the driver selects no other address than + the one specified. If the specified address cannot be used, + :c:func:`mmap()` will fail. If ``MAP_FIXED`` is specified, + ``start`` must be a multiple of the pagesize. Use of this option is + discouraged. + + One of the ``MAP_SHARED`` or ``MAP_PRIVATE`` flags must be set. + ``MAP_SHARED`` allows applications to share the mapped memory with + other (e. g. child-) processes. + + .. note:: + + The Linux ``videobuf`` module which is used by some + drivers supports only ``MAP_SHARED``. ``MAP_PRIVATE`` requests + copy-on-write semantics.

This latter +address is a hint only, and is usually specified as 0. + +Suitable length and offset parameters are queried with the +:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYBUF` ioctl. Buffers must be +allocated with the :ref:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS` ioctl +before they can be queried. + +To unmap buffers the :c:func:`munmap()` function is used. + +Return Value +============ + +On success :c:func:`mmap()` returns a pointer to the mapped buffer. On +error ``MAP_FAILED`` (-1) is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set +appropriately. Possible error codes are: + +EBADF + ``fd`` is not a valid file descriptor. + +EACCES + ``fd`` is not open for reading and writing. + +EINVAL + The ``start`` or ``length`` or ``offset`` are not suitable. (E. g. + they are too large, or not aligned on a ``PAGESIZE`` boundary.) + + The ``flags`` or ``prot`` value is not supported. + + No buffers have been allocated with the + :ref:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS` ioctl. + +ENOMEM + Not enough physical or virtual memory was available to complete the + request. |
