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.

In this hierarchy, there is usually a +Human Machine Interface (HMI) at the top, where an operator can monitor or +operate the system. This is typically linked to a middle layer of programmable +logic controllers (PLC) via a non-time-critical communications system +(e.g. Ethernet). At the bottom of the control chain is the fieldbus that links +the PLCs to the components that actually do the work, such as sensors, +actuators, electric motors, console lights, switches, valves and contactors. + +(Source: Wikipedia) + +A "Fieldbus Device" is such an actuator, motor, console light, switch, ... +controlled via the Fieldbus by a PLC aka "Fieldbus Controller". + +Communication between PLC and device typically happens via process data memory, +separated into input and output areas. The Fieldbus then cyclically transfers +the PLC's output area to the device's input area, and vice versa. + +Part I - Why do we need this subsystem? +--------------------------------------- + +Fieldbus device (client) adapters are commercially available. They allow data +exchange with a PLC aka "Fieldbus Controller" via process data memory. + +They are typically used when a Linux device wants to expose itself as an +actuator, motor, console light, switch, etc. over the fieldbus. + +The purpose of this subsystem is: +a) present a general, standardized, extensible API/ABI to userspace; and +b) present a convenient interface to drivers. + +Part II - How can drivers use the subsystem? +-------------------------------------------- + +Any driver that wants to register as a Fieldbus Device should allocate and +populate a 'struct fieldbus_dev' (from include/linux/fieldbus_dev.h). +Registration then happens by calling fieldbus_dev_register(). + +Part III - How can userspace use the subsystem? +----------------------------------------------- + +Fieldbus protocols and adapters are diverse and varied. However, they share +a limited few common behaviours and properties. This allows us to define +a simple interface consisting of a character device and a set of sysfs files: + +See: +drivers/staging/fieldbus/Documentation/ABI/sysfs-class-fieldbus-dev +drivers/staging/fieldbus/Documentation/ABI/fieldbus-dev-cdev + +Note that this simple interface does not provide a way to modify adapter +configuration settings. It is therefore useful only for adapters that get their +configuration settings some other way, e.g. non-volatile memory on the adapter, +through the network, ... + +At a later phase, this simple interface can easily co-exist with a future +(netlink-based ?) configuration settings interface. |
