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.

+*******************
+
+Name
+====
+
+VIDIOC_EXPBUF - Export a buffer as a DMABUF file descriptor.
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_EXPBUF
+
+``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_EXPBUF, struct v4l2_exportbuffer *argp)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
+
+``argp``
+ Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_exportbuffer`.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+This ioctl is an extension to the :ref:`memory mapping <mmap>` I/O
+method, therefore it is available only for ``V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP`` buffers.
+It can be used to export a buffer as a DMABUF file at any time after
+buffers have been allocated with the
+:ref:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS` ioctl.
+
+To export a buffer, applications fill struct
+:c:type:`v4l2_exportbuffer`. The ``type`` field is
+set to the same buffer type as was previously used with struct
+:c:type:`v4l2_requestbuffers` ``type``.
+Applications must also set the ``index`` field. Valid index numbers
+range from zero to the number of buffers allocated with
+:ref:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS` (struct
+:c:type:`v4l2_requestbuffers` ``count``) minus
+one. For the multi-planar API, applications set the ``plane`` field to
+the index of the plane to be exported. Valid planes range from zero to
+the maximal number of valid planes for the currently active format. For
+the single-planar API, applications must set ``plane`` to zero.
+Additional flags may be posted in the ``flags`` field. Refer to a manual
+for open() for details. Currently only O_CLOEXEC, O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY,
+and O_RDWR are supported. All other fields must be set to zero. In the
+case of multi-planar API, every plane is exported separately using
+multiple :ref:`VIDIOC_EXPBUF` calls.
+
+After calling :ref:`VIDIOC_EXPBUF` the ``fd`` field will be set by a
+driver. This is a DMABUF file descriptor. The application may pass it to
+other DMABUF-aware devices. Refer to :ref:`DMABUF importing <dmabuf>`
+for details about importing DMABUF files into V4L2 nodes. It is
+recommended to close a DMABUF file when it is no longer used to allow
+the associated memory to be reclaimed.
+
+Examples
+========
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int buffer_export(int v4lfd, enum v4l2_buf_type bt, int index, int *dmafd)
+ {
+ struct v4l2_exportbuffer expbuf;
+
+ memset(&expbuf, 0, sizeof(expbuf));
+ expbuf.type = bt;
+ expbuf.index = index;
+ if (ioctl(v4lfd, VIDIOC_EXPBUF, &expbuf) == -1) {
+ perror("VIDIOC_EXPBUF");
+ return -1;
+ }
+
+ *dmafd = expbuf.fd;
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int buffer_export_mp(int v4lfd, enum v4l2_buf_type bt, int index,
+ int dmafd[], int n_planes)
+ {
+ int i;
+
+ for (i = 0; i < n_planes; ++i) {
+ struct v4l2_exportbuffer expbuf;
+
+ memset(&expbuf, 0, sizeof(expbuf));
+ expbuf.type = bt;
+ expbuf.index = index;
+ expbuf.plane = i;
+ if (ioctl(v4lfd, VIDIOC_EXPBUF, &expbuf) == -1) {
+ perror("VIDIOC_EXPBUF");
+ while (i)
+ close(dmafd[--i]);
+ return -1;
+ }
+ dmafd[i] = expbuf.fd;
+ }
+
+ return 0;

+
+ * - __u32
+ - ``type``
+ - Type of the buffer, same as struct
+ :c:type:`v4l2_format` ``type`` or struct
+ :c:type:`v4l2_requestbuffers` ``type``, set
+ by the application. See :c:type:`v4l2_buf_type`
+ * - __u32
+ - ``index``
+ - Number of the buffer, set by the application. This field is only
+ used for :ref:`memory mapping <mmap>` I/O and can range from
+ zero to the number of buffers allocated with the
+ :ref:`VIDIOC_REQBUFS` and/or
+ :ref:`VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS` ioctls.
+ * - __u32
+ - ``plane``
+ - Index of the plane to be exported when using the multi-planar API.
+ Otherwise this value must be set to zero.
+ * - __u32
+ - ``flags``
+ - Flags for the newly created file, currently only ``O_CLOEXEC``,
+ ``O_RDONLY``, ``O_WRONLY``, and ``O_RDWR`` are supported, refer to
+ the manual of open() for more details.
+ * - __s32
+ - ``fd``
+ - The DMABUF file descriptor associated with a buffer. Set by the
+ driver.
+ * - __u32
+ - ``reserved[11]``
+ - Reserved field for future use. Drivers and applications must set
+ the array to zero.
+
+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.
+
+EINVAL
+ A queue is not in MMAP mode or DMABUF exporting is not supported or
+ ``flags`` or ``type`` or ``index`` or ``plane`` fields are invalid.
