From 5b7c4cabbb65f5c469464da6c5f614cbd7f730f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2023 18:24:12 -0800 Subject: Merge tag 'net-next-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next 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.

At a given time, +the user can send a message to the target to start failing read +requests on specific blocks (to emulate the behavior of a hard disk +drive with bad sectors). + +When the failure behavior is enabled (i.e.: when the output of +"dmsetup status" displays "fail_read_on_bad_block"), reads of blocks +in the "bad block list" will fail with EIO ("Input/output error"). + +Writes of blocks in the "bad block list will result in the following: + +1. Remove the block from the "bad block list". +2. Successfully complete the write. + +This emulates the "remapped sector" behavior of a drive with bad +sectors. + +Normally, a drive that is encountering bad sectors will most likely +encounter more bad sectors, at an unknown time or location. +With dm-dust, the user can use the "addbadblock" and "removebadblock" +messages to add arbitrary bad blocks at new locations, and the +"enable" and "disable" messages to modulate the state of whether the +configured "bad blocks" will be treated as bad, or bypassed. +This allows the pre-writing of test data and metadata prior to +simulating a "failure" event where bad sectors start to appear. + +Table parameters +---------------- + + +Mandatory parameters: + : + Path to the block device. + + : + Offset to data area from start of

clearbadblocks + listbadblocks + disable + enable + quiet + +Device removal +-------------- + +When finished, remove the device via the "dmsetup remove" command:: + + $ sudo dmsetup remove dust1 + +Quiet mode +---------- + +On test runs with many bad blocks, it may be desirable to avoid +excessive logging (from bad blocks added, removed, or "remapped"). +This can be done by enabling "quiet mode" via the following message:: + + $ sudo dmsetup message dust1 0 quiet + +This will suppress log messages from add / remove / removed by write +operations. Log messages from "countbadblocks" or "queryblock" +message commands will still print in quiet mode. + +The status of quiet mode can be seen by running "dmsetup status":: + + $ sudo dmsetup status dust1 + 0 33552384 dust 252:17 fail_read_on_bad_block quiet + +To disable quiet mode, send the "quiet" message again:: + + $ sudo dmsetup message dust1 0 quiet + + $ sudo dmsetup status dust1 + 0 33552384 dust 252:17 fail_read_on_bad_block verbose + +(The presence of "verbose" indicates normal logging.) + +"Why not...?" +------------- + +scsi_debug has a "medium error" mode that can fail reads on one +specified sector (sector 0x1234, hardcoded in the source code), but +it uses RAM for the persistent storage, which drastically decreases +the potential device size. + +dm-flakey fails all I/O from all block locations at a specified time +frequency, and not a given point in time. + +When a bad sector occurs on a hard disk drive, reads to that sector +are failed by the device, usually resulting in an error code of EIO +("I/O error") or ENODATA ("No data available"). However, a write to +the sector may succeed, and result in the sector becoming readable +after the device controller no longer experiences errors reading the +sector (or after a reallocation of the sector). However, there may +be bad sectors that occur on the device in the future, in a different, +unpredictable location. + +This target seeks to provide a device that can exhibit the behavior +of a bad sector at a known sector location, at a known time, based +on a large storage device (at least tens of gigabytes, not occupying +system memory). -- cgit v1.2.3
