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.

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`). + +.. tabularcolumns:: |p{2.0cm}|p{1.1cm}|p{2.2cm}|p{11.8cm}| + +.. c:type:: v4l2_decoder_cmd + +.. cssclass:: longtable + +.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_decoder_cmd + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 1 1 1 3 + + * - __u32 + - ``cmd`` + - + - The decoder command, see :ref:`decoder-cmds`. + * - __u32 + - ``flags`` + - + - Flags to go with the command.

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.

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. |
