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.

It is used to +identify kernel devices compatible with this specification and to obtain +information about driver and hardware capabilities. The ioctl takes a +pointer to a struct :c:type:`v4l2_capability` which is +filled by the driver. When the driver is not compatible with this +specification the ioctl returns an ``EINVAL`` error code. + +.. c:type:: v4l2_capability + +.. tabularcolumns:: |p{1.4cm}|p{2.8cm}|p{13.1cm}| + +.. cssclass:: longtable + +.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_capability + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 3 4 20 + + * - __u8 + - ``driver``\ [16] + - Name of the driver, a unique NUL-terminated ASCII string. For + example: "bttv". Driver specific applications can use this + information to verify the driver identity. It is also useful to + work around known bugs, or to identify drivers in error reports. + + Storing strings in fixed sized arrays is bad practice but + unavoidable here. Drivers and applications should take precautions + to never read or write beyond the end of the array and to make + sure the strings are properly NUL-terminated. + * - __u8 + - ``card``\ [32] + - Name of the device, a NUL-terminated UTF-8 string. For example: + "Yoyodyne TV/FM". One driver may support different brands or + models of video hardware. This information is intended for users, + for example in a menu of available devices. Since multiple TV + cards of the same brand may be installed which are supported by + the same driver, this name should be combined with the character + device file name (e. g. ``/dev/video2``) or the ``bus_info`` + string to avoid ambiguities. + * - __u8 + - ``bus_info``\ [32] + - Location of the device in the system, a NUL-terminated ASCII + string. For example: "PCI:0000:05:06.0". This information is + intended for users, to distinguish multiple identical devices. If + no such information is available the field must simply count the + devices controlled by the driver ("platform:vivid-000"). The + bus_info must start with "PCI:" for PCI boards, "PCIe:" for PCI + Express boards, "usb-" for USB devices, "I2C:" for i2c devices, + "ISA:" for ISA devices, "parport" for parallel port devices and + "platform:" for platform devices. + * - __u32 + - ``version`` + - Version number of the driver. + + Starting with kernel 3.1, the version reported is provided by the + V4L2 subsystem following the kernel numbering scheme. However, it + may not always return the same version as the kernel if, for + example, a stable or distribution-modified kernel uses the V4L2 + stack from a newer kernel. + + The version number is formatted using the ``KERNEL_VERSION()`` + macro. For example if the media stack corresponds to the V4L2 + version shipped with Kernel 4.14, it would be equivalent to: + * - :cspan:`2` + + ``#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))`` + + ``__u32 version = KERNEL_VERSION(4, 14, 0);`` + + ``printf ("Version: %u.%u.%u\\n",`` + + ``(version >> 16) & 0xFF, (version >> 8) & 0xFF, version & 0xFF);`` + * - __u32 + - ``capabilities`` + - Available capabilities of the physical device as a whole, see + :ref:`device-capabilities`. The same physical device can export + multiple devices in /dev (e.g. /dev/videoX, /dev/vbiY and + /dev/radioZ). The ``capabilities`` field should contain a union of + all capabilities available around the several V4L2 devices + exported to userspace. For all those devices the ``capabilities`` + field returns the same set of capabilities. This allows + applications to open just one of the devices (typically the video + device) and discover whether video, vbi and/or radio are also + supported. + * - __u32 + - ``device_caps`` + - Device capabilities of the opened device, see + :ref:`device-capabilities`. Should contain the available + capabilities of that specific device node. So, for example, + ``device_caps`` of a radio device will only contain radio related + capabilities and no video or vbi capabilities. This field is only + set if the ``capabilities`` field contains the + ``V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS`` capability. Only the ``capabilities`` + field can have the ``V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS`` capability, + ``device_caps`` will never set ``V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS``. + * - __u32 + - ``reserved``\ [3] + - Reserved for future extensions.
