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.

+

+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
+
+``argp``
+ Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_dv_timings`.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+To set DV timings for the input or output, applications use the
+:ref:`VIDIOC_S_DV_TIMINGS <VIDIOC_G_DV_TIMINGS>` ioctl and to get the current timings,
+applications use the :ref:`VIDIOC_G_DV_TIMINGS <VIDIOC_G_DV_TIMINGS>` ioctl. The detailed timing
+information is filled in using the structure struct
+:c:type:`v4l2_dv_timings`. These ioctls take a
+pointer to the struct :c:type:`v4l2_dv_timings`
+structure as argument. If the ioctl is not supported or the timing
+values are not correct, the driver returns ``EINVAL`` error code.
+
+Calling ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_DV_TIMINGS`` on a subdev device node that has been
+registered in read-only mode is not allowed. An error is returned and the errno
+variable is set to ``-EPERM``.
+
+The ``linux/v4l2-dv-timings.h`` header can be used to get the timings of
+the formats in the :ref:`cea861` and :ref:`vesadmt` standards. If
+the current input or output does not support DV timings (e.g. if
+:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT` does not set the
+``V4L2_IN_CAP_DV_TIMINGS`` flag), then ``ENODATA`` error code is returned.
+
+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
+ This ioctl is not supported, or the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_DV_TIMINGS <VIDIOC_G_DV_TIMINGS>`
+ parameter was unsuitable.
+
+ENODATA
+ Digital video timings are not supported for this input or output.
+
+EBUSY
+ The device is busy and therefore can not change the timings.
+
+EPERM
+ ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_DV_TIMINGS`` has been called on a read-only subdevice.

+
+ * - Flag
+ - Description
+ * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_REDUCED_BLANKING``
+ - CVT/GTF specific: the timings use reduced blanking (CVT) or the
+ 'Secondary GTF' curve (GTF). In both cases the horizontal and/or
+ vertical blanking intervals are reduced, allowing a higher
+ resolution over the same bandwidth. This is a read-only flag,
+ applications must not set this.
+ * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_CAN_REDUCE_FPS``
+ - CEA-861 specific: set for CEA-861 formats with a framerate that is
+ a multiple of six. These formats can be optionally played at 1 /
+ 1.001 speed to be compatible with 60 Hz based standards such as
+ NTSC and PAL-M that use a framerate of 29.97 frames per second. If
+ the transmitter can't generate such frequencies, then the flag
+ will also be cleared. This is a read-only flag, applications must
+ not set this.
+ * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_REDUCED_FPS``
+ - CEA-861 specific: only valid for video transmitters or video
+ receivers that have the ``V4L2_DV_FL_CAN_DETECT_REDUCED_FPS``
+ set. This flag is cleared otherwise. It is also only valid for
+ formats with the ``V4L2_DV_FL_CAN_REDUCE_FPS`` flag set, for other
+ formats the flag will be cleared by the driver.
+
+ If the application sets this flag for a transmitter, then the
+ pixelclock used to set up the transmitter is divided by 1.001 to
+ make it compatible with NTSC framerates. If the transmitter can't
+ generate such frequencies, then the flag will be cleared.
+
+ If a video receiver detects that the format uses a reduced framerate,
+ then it will set this flag to signal this to the application.
+ * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_HALF_LINE``
+ - Specific to interlaced formats: if set, then the vertical
+ frontporch of field 1 (aka the odd field) is really one half-line
+ longer and the vertical backporch of field 2 (aka the even field)
+ is really one half-line shorter, so each field has exactly the
+ same number of half-lines. Whether half-lines can be detected or
+ used depends on the hardware.
+ * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_IS_CE_VIDEO``
+ - If set, then this is a Consumer Electronics (CE) video format.
+ Such formats differ from other formats (commonly called IT
+ formats) in that if R'G'B' encoding is used then by default the
+ R'G'B' values use limited range (i.e. 16-235) as opposed to full
+ range (i.e. 0-255). All formats defined in CEA-861 except for the
+ 640x480p59.94 format are CE formats.
+ * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_FIRST_FIELD_EXTRA_LINE``
+ - Some formats like SMPTE-125M have an interlaced signal with a odd
+ total height. For these formats, if this flag is set, the first
+ field has the extra line. Else, it is the second field.
+ * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_HAS_PICTURE_ASPECT``
+ - If set, then the picture_aspect field is valid. Otherwise assume that
+ the pixels are square, so the picture aspect ratio is the same as the
+ width to height ratio.
+ * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_HAS_CEA861_VIC``
+ - If set, then the cea861_vic field is valid and contains the Video
+ Identification Code as per the CEA-861 standard.
+ * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_HAS_HDMI_VIC``
+ - If set, then the hdmi_vic field is valid and contains the Video
+ Identification Code as per the HDMI standard (HDMI Vendor Specific
+ InfoFrame).
+ * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_CAN_DETECT_REDUCED_FPS``
+ - CEA-861 specific: only valid for video receivers, the flag is
+ cleared by transmitters.
+ If set, then the hardware can detect the difference between
+ regular framerates and framerates reduced by 1000/1001. E.g.:
+ 60 vs 59.94 Hz, 30 vs 29.97 Hz or 24 vs 23.976 Hz.
