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.

+.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD
+
+``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD, struct v4l2_decoder_cmd *argp)``
+
+.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_TRY_DECODER_CMD
+
+``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_TRY_DECODER_CMD, struct v4l2_decoder_cmd *argp)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
+
+``argp``
+ pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_decoder_cmd`.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+These ioctls control an audio/video (usually MPEG-) decoder.
+``VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD`` sends a command to the decoder,
+``VIDIOC_TRY_DECODER_CMD`` can be used to try a command without actually
+executing it. To send a command applications must initialize all fields
+of a struct :c:type:`v4l2_decoder_cmd` and call
+``VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD`` or ``VIDIOC_TRY_DECODER_CMD`` with a pointer to
+this structure.
+
+The ``cmd`` field must contain the command code. Some commands use the
+``flags`` field for additional information.
+
+A :c:func:`write()` or :ref:`VIDIOC_STREAMON`
+call sends an implicit START command to the decoder if it has not been
+started yet. Applies to both queues of mem2mem decoders.
+
+A :c:func:`close()` or :ref:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF <VIDIOC_STREAMON>`
+call of a streaming file descriptor sends an implicit immediate STOP
+command to the decoder, and all buffered data is discarded. Applies to both
+queues of mem2mem decoders.
+
+In principle, these ioctls are optional, not all drivers may support them. They were
+introduced in Linux 3.3. They are, however, mandatory for stateful mem2mem decoders
+(as further documented in :ref:`decoder`).

+ * - __u32
+ - ``flags``
+ -
+ - Flags to go with the command. If no flags are defined for this
+ command, drivers and applications must set this field to zero.
+ * - union {
+ - (anonymous)
+ * - struct
+ - ``start``
+ -
+ - Structure containing additional data for the
+ ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_START`` command.
+ * -
+ - __s32
+ - ``speed``
+ - Playback speed and direction. The playback speed is defined as
+ ``speed``/1000 of the normal speed. So 1000 is normal playback.
+ Negative numbers denote reverse playback, so -1000 does reverse
+ playback at normal speed. Speeds -1, 0 and 1 have special
+ meanings: speed 0 is shorthand for 1000 (normal playback). A speed
+ of 1 steps just one frame forward, a speed of -1 steps just one
+ frame back.
+ * -
+ - __u32
+ - ``format``
+ - Format restrictions. This field is set by the driver, not the
+ application. Possible values are ``V4L2_DEC_START_FMT_NONE`` if
+ there are no format restrictions or ``V4L2_DEC_START_FMT_GOP`` if
+ the decoder operates on full GOPs (*Group Of Pictures*). This is
+ usually the case for reverse playback: the decoder needs full
+ GOPs, which it can then play in reverse order. So to implement
+ reverse playback the application must feed the decoder the last
+ GOP in the video file, then the GOP before that, etc. etc.
+ * - struct
+ - ``stop``
+ -
+ - Structure containing additional data for the ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP``
+ command.
+ * -
+ - __u64
+ - ``pts``
+ - Stop playback at this ``pts`` or immediately if the playback is
+ already past that timestamp. Leave to 0 if you want to stop after
+ the last frame was decoded.
+ * - struct
+ - ``raw``
+ * -
+ - __u32
+ - ``data``\ [16]
+ - Reserved for future extensions. Drivers and applications must set
+ the array to zero.

+
+ * - ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_START``
+ - 0
+ - Start the decoder. When the decoder is already running or paused,
+ this command will just change the playback speed. That means that
+ calling ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_START`` when the decoder was paused will
+ *not* resume the decoder. You have to explicitly call
+ ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_RESUME`` for that. This command has one flag:
+ ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_START_MUTE_AUDIO``. If set, then audio will be
+ muted when playing back at a non-standard speed.
+
+ For a device implementing the :ref:`decoder`, once the drain sequence
+ is initiated with the ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP`` command, it must be driven
+ to completion before this command can be invoked. Any attempt to
+ invoke the command while the drain sequence is in progress will trigger
+ an ``EBUSY`` error code. The command may be also used to restart the
+ decoder in case of an implicit stop initiated by the decoder itself,
+ without the ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP`` being called explicitly. See
+ :ref:`decoder` for more details.
+ * - ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP``
+ - 1
+ - Stop the decoder. When the decoder is already stopped, this
+ command does nothing. This command has two flags: if
+ ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP_TO_BLACK`` is set, then the decoder will set
+ the picture to black after it stopped decoding. Otherwise the last
+ image will repeat. If
+ ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP_IMMEDIATELY`` is set, then the decoder stops
+ immediately (ignoring the ``pts`` value), otherwise it will keep
+ decoding until timestamp >= pts or until the last of the pending
+ data from its internal buffers was decoded.
+
+ For a device implementing the :ref:`decoder`, the command will initiate
+ the drain sequence as documented in :ref:`decoder`. No flags or other
+ arguments are accepted in this case. Any attempt to invoke the command
+ again before the sequence completes will trigger an ``EBUSY`` error
+ code.
+ * - ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_PAUSE``
+ - 2
+ - Pause the decoder. When the decoder has not been started yet, the
+ driver will return an ``EPERM`` error code. When the decoder is
+ already paused, this command does nothing. This command has one
+ flag: if ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_PAUSE_TO_BLACK`` is set, then set the
+ decoder output to black when paused.
+ * - ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_RESUME``
+ - 3
+ - Resume decoding after a PAUSE command. When the decoder has not
+ been started yet, the driver will return an ``EPERM`` error code. When
+ the decoder is already running, this command does nothing. No
+ flags are defined for this command.
+ * - ``V4L2_DEC_CMD_FLUSH``
+ - 4
+ - Flush any held capture buffers. Only valid for stateless decoders.
+ This command is typically used when the application reached the
+ end of the stream and the last output buffer had the
+ ``V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF`` flag set. This would prevent
+ dequeueing the capture buffer containing the last decoded frame.
+ So this command can be used to explicitly flush that final decoded
+ frame. This command does nothing if there are no held capture buffers.
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
+:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
+
+EBUSY
+ A drain sequence of a device implementing the :ref:`decoder` is still in
+ progress. It is not allowed to issue another decoder command until it
+ completes.
+
+EINVAL
+ The ``cmd`` field is invalid.
+
+EPERM
+ The application sent a PAUSE or RESUME command when the decoder was
+ not running.
