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_S_FBUF
+
+``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_S_FBUF, const struct v4l2_framebuffer *argp)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
+
+``argp``
+ Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_framebuffer`.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Applications can use the :ref:`VIDIOC_G_FBUF <VIDIOC_G_FBUF>` and :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FBUF <VIDIOC_G_FBUF>` ioctl
+to get and set the framebuffer parameters for a
+:ref:`Video Overlay <overlay>` or :ref:`Video Output Overlay <osd>`
+(OSD). The type of overlay is implied by the device type (capture or
+output device) and can be determined with the
+:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCAP` ioctl. One ``/dev/videoN``
+device must not support both kinds of overlay.
+
+The V4L2 API distinguishes destructive and non-destructive overlays. A
+destructive overlay copies captured video images into the video memory
+of a graphics card. A non-destructive overlay blends video images into a
+VGA signal or graphics into a video signal. *Video Output Overlays* are
+always non-destructive.
+
+To get the current parameters applications call the :ref:`VIDIOC_G_FBUF <VIDIOC_G_FBUF>`
+ioctl with a pointer to a struct :c:type:`v4l2_framebuffer`
+structure. The driver fills all fields of the structure or returns an
+EINVAL error code when overlays are not supported.
+
+To set the parameters for a *Video Output Overlay*, applications must
+initialize the ``flags`` field of a struct
+:c:type:`v4l2_framebuffer`. Since the framebuffer is
+implemented on the TV card all other parameters are determined by the
+driver. When an application calls :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FBUF <VIDIOC_G_FBUF>` with a pointer to
+this structure, the driver prepares for the overlay and returns the
+framebuffer parameters as :ref:`VIDIOC_G_FBUF <VIDIOC_G_FBUF>` does, or it returns an error
+code.
+
+To set the parameters for a *non-destructive Video Overlay*,
+applications must initialize the ``flags`` field, the ``fmt``
+substructure, and call :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FBUF <VIDIOC_G_FBUF>`. Again the driver prepares for
+the overlay and returns the framebuffer parameters as :ref:`VIDIOC_G_FBUF <VIDIOC_G_FBUF>`
+does, or it returns an error code.
+
+For a *destructive Video Overlay* applications must additionally provide
+a ``base`` address. Setting up a DMA to a random memory location can
+jeopardize the system security, its stability or even damage the
+hardware, therefore only the superuser can set the parameters for a
+destructive video overlay.

+ * -

+ -
+ - This field is irrelevant to *non-destructive Video Overlays*. For
+ *destructive Video Overlays* applications must provide a base
+ address. The driver may accept only base addresses which are a
+ multiple of two, four or eight bytes. For *Video Output Overlays*
+ the driver must return a valid base address, so applications can

+ ``chromakey`` field.

+ - For *destructive Video Overlays* applications must initialize this
+ field. For *Video Output Overlays* the driver must return a valid

+ * -
+ -
+ -
+ - Usually this is an RGB format (for example
+ :ref:`V4L2_PIX_FMT_RGB565 <V4L2-PIX-FMT-RGB565>`) but YUV
+ formats (only packed YUV formats when chroma keying is used, not
+ including ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUYV`` and ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_UYVY``) and the
+ ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_PAL8`` format are also permitted. The behavior of
+ the driver when an application requests a compressed format is
+ undefined. See :ref:`pixfmt` for information on pixel formats.
+ * -
+ - enum :c:type:`v4l2_field`
+ - ``field``
+ - Drivers and applications shall ignore this field. If applicable,
+ the field order is selected with the
+ :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>` ioctl, using the ``field``
+ field of struct :c:type:`v4l2_window`.
+ * -
+ - __u32
+ - ``bytesperline``
+ - Distance in bytes between the leftmost pixels in two adjacent
+ lines.
+ * - :cspan:`3`
+
+ This field is irrelevant to *non-destructive Video Overlays*.
+
+ For *destructive Video Overlays* both applications and drivers can
+ set this field to request padding bytes at the end of each line.
+ Drivers however may ignore the requested value, returning
+ ``width`` times bytes-per-pixel or a larger value required by the
+ hardware. That implies applications can just set this field to
+ zero to get a reasonable default.
+
+ For *Video Output Overlays* the driver must return a valid value.
+
+ Video hardware may access padding bytes, therefore they must
+ reside in accessible memory. Consider for example the case where
+ padding bytes after the last line of an image cross a system page
+ boundary. Capture devices may write padding bytes, the value is
+ undefined. Output devices ignore the contents of padding bytes.
+
+ When the image format is planar the ``bytesperline`` value applies
+ to the first plane and is divided by the same factor as the
+ ``width`` field for the other planes. For example the Cb and Cr
+ planes of a YUV 4:2:0 image have half as many padding bytes
+ following each line as the Y plane. To avoid ambiguities drivers
+ must return a ``bytesperline`` value rounded up to a multiple of
+ the scale factor.
+ * -
+ - __u32
+ - ``sizeimage``
+ - This field is irrelevant to *non-destructive Video Overlays*. For
+ *destructive Video Overlays* applications must initialize this
+ field. For *Video Output Overlays* the driver must return a valid
+ format.
+
+ Together with ``base`` it defines the framebuffer memory
+ accessible by the driver.
+ * -
+ - enum :c:type:`v4l2_colorspace`
+ - ``colorspace``
+ - This information supplements the ``pixelformat`` and must be set
+ by the driver, see :ref:`colorspaces`.

+ :stub-columns: 0
+ :widths: 3 1 4
+
+ * - ``V4L2_FBUF_CAP_EXTERNOVERLAY``
+ - 0x0001
+ - The device is capable of non-destructive overlays. When the driver
+ clears this flag, only destructive overlays are supported. There
+ are no drivers yet which support both destructive and
+ non-destructive overlays. Video Output Overlays are in practice
+ always non-destructive.
+ * - ``V4L2_FBUF_CAP_CHROMAKEY``
+ - 0x0002
+ - The device supports clipping by chroma-keying the images. That is,
+ image pixels replace pixels in the VGA or video signal only where
+ the latter assume a certain color. Chroma-keying makes no sense
+ for destructive overlays.
+ * - ``V4L2_FBUF_CAP_LIST_CLIPPING``
+ - 0x0004
+ - The device supports clipping using a list of clip rectangles.
+ * - ``V4L2_FBUF_CAP_BITMAP_CLIPPING``
+ - 0x0008
+ - The device supports clipping using a bit mask.
+ * - ``V4L2_FBUF_CAP_LOCAL_ALPHA``
+ - 0x0010
+ - The device supports clipping/blending using the alpha channel of
+ the framebuffer or VGA signal. Alpha blending makes no sense for
+ destructive overlays.
+ * - ``V4L2_FBUF_CAP_GLOBAL_ALPHA``
+ - 0x0020
+ - The device supports alpha blending using a global alpha value.
+ Alpha blending makes no sense for destructive overlays.
+ * - ``V4L2_FBUF_CAP_LOCAL_INV_ALPHA``
+ - 0x0040
+ - The device supports clipping/blending using the inverted alpha
+ channel of the framebuffer or VGA signal. Alpha blending makes no
+ sense for destructive overlays.
+ * - ``V4L2_FBUF_CAP_SRC_CHROMAKEY``
+ - 0x0080
+ - The device supports Source Chroma-keying. Video pixels with the
+ chroma-key colors are replaced by framebuffer pixels, which is
+ exactly opposite of ``V4L2_FBUF_CAP_CHROMAKEY``
+

+ :header-rows: 0
+ :stub-columns: 0
+ :widths: 3 1 4
+
+ * - ``V4L2_FBUF_FLAG_PRIMARY``
+ - 0x0001
+ - The framebuffer is the primary graphics surface. In other words,
+ the overlay is destructive. This flag is typically set by any
+ driver that doesn't have the ``V4L2_FBUF_CAP_EXTERNOVERLAY``
+ capability and it is cleared otherwise.
+ * - ``V4L2_FBUF_FLAG_OVERLAY``
+ - 0x0002
+ - If this flag is set for a video capture device, then the driver
+ will set the initial overlay size to cover the full framebuffer
+ size, otherwise the existing overlay size (as set by
+ :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>`) will be used. Only one
+ video capture driver (bttv) supports this flag. The use of this
+ flag for capture devices is deprecated. There is no way to detect
+ which drivers support this flag, so the only reliable method of
+ setting the overlay size is through
+ :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>`. If this flag is set for a
+ video output device, then the video output overlay window is
+ relative to the top-left corner of the framebuffer and restricted
+ to the size of the framebuffer. If it is cleared, then the video
+ output overlay window is relative to the video output display.
+ * - ``V4L2_FBUF_FLAG_CHROMAKEY``
+ - 0x0004
+ - Use chroma-keying. The chroma-key color is determined by the
+ ``chromakey`` field of struct :c:type:`v4l2_window`
+ and negotiated with the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>`
+ ioctl, see :ref:`overlay` and :ref:`osd`.
+ * - :cspan:`2` There are no flags to enable clipping using a list of
+ clip rectangles or a bitmap. These methods are negotiated with the
+ :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>` ioctl, see :ref:`overlay`
+ and :ref:`osd`.
+ * - ``V4L2_FBUF_FLAG_LOCAL_ALPHA``
+ - 0x0008
+ - Use the alpha channel of the framebuffer to clip or blend
+ framebuffer pixels with video images. The blend function is:
+ output = framebuffer pixel * alpha + video pixel * (1 - alpha).
+ The actual alpha depth depends on the framebuffer pixel format.
+ * - ``V4L2_FBUF_FLAG_GLOBAL_ALPHA``
+ - 0x0010
+ - Use a global alpha value to blend the framebuffer with video
+ images. The blend function is: output = (framebuffer pixel * alpha
+ + video pixel * (255 - alpha)) / 255. The alpha value is
+ determined by the ``global_alpha`` field of struct
+ :c:type:`v4l2_window` and negotiated with the
+ :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>` ioctl, see :ref:`overlay`
+ and :ref:`osd`.
+ * - ``V4L2_FBUF_FLAG_LOCAL_INV_ALPHA``
+ - 0x0020
+ - Like ``V4L2_FBUF_FLAG_LOCAL_ALPHA``, use the alpha channel of the
+ framebuffer to clip or blend framebuffer pixels with video images,
+ but with an inverted alpha value. The blend function is: output =
+ framebuffer pixel * (1 - alpha) + video pixel * alpha. The actual
+ alpha depth depends on the framebuffer pixel format.
+ * - ``V4L2_FBUF_FLAG_SRC_CHROMAKEY``
+ - 0x0040
+ - Use source chroma-keying. The source chroma-key color is
+ determined by the ``chromakey`` field of struct
+ :c:type:`v4l2_window` and negotiated with the
+ :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>` ioctl, see :ref:`overlay`
+ and :ref:`osd`. Both chroma-keying are mutual exclusive to each
+ other, so same ``chromakey`` field of struct
+ :c:type:`v4l2_window` is being used.
+
+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.
+
+EPERM
+ :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FBUF <VIDIOC_G_FBUF>` can only be called by a privileged user to
+ negotiate the parameters for a destructive overlay.
+
+EINVAL
+ The :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FBUF <VIDIOC_G_FBUF>` parameters are unsuitable.
+
+.. [#f1]
+ A physical base address may not suit all platforms. GK notes in
+ theory we should pass something like PCI device + memory region +
+ offset instead. If you encounter problems please discuss on the
+ linux-media mailing list:
+ `https://linuxtv.org/lists.php <https://linuxtv.org/lists.php>`__.
