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.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +V4L2 device instance +-------------------- + +Each device instance is represented by a struct v4l2_device. +Very simple devices can just allocate this struct, but most of the time you +would embed this struct inside a larger struct. + +You must register the device instance by calling: + + :c:func:`v4l2_device_register ` + (dev, :c:type:`v4l2_dev `). + +Registration will initialize the :c:type:`v4l2_device` struct. If the +dev->driver_data field is ``NULL``, it will be linked to +:c:type:`v4l2_dev ` argument. + +Drivers that want integration with the media device framework need to set +dev->driver_data manually to point to the driver-specific device structure +that embed the struct v4l2_device instance. This is achieved by a +``dev_set_drvdata()`` call before registering the V4L2 device instance. +They must also set the struct v4l2_device mdev field to point to a +properly initialized and registered :c:type:`media_device` instance. + +If :c:type:`v4l2_dev `\ ->name is empty then it will be set to a +value derived from dev (driver name followed by the bus_id, to be precise). +If you set it up before calling :c:func:`v4l2_device_register` then it will +be untouched. If dev is ``NULL``, then you **must** setup +:c:type:`v4l2_dev `\ ->name before calling +:c:func:`v4l2_device_register`. + +You can use :c:func:`v4l2_device_set_name` to set the name based on a driver +name and a driver-global atomic_t instance. This will generate names like +``ivtv0``, ``ivtv1``, etc. If the name ends with a digit, then it will insert +a dash: ``cx18-0``, ``cx18-1``, etc. This function returns the instance number. + +The first ``dev`` argument is normally the ``struct device`` pointer of a +``pci_dev``, ``usb_interface`` or ``platform_device``. It is rare for dev to +be ``NULL``, but it happens with ISA devices or when one device creates +multiple PCI devices, thus making it impossible to associate +:c:type:`v4l2_dev ` with a particular parent. + +You can also supply a ``notify()`` callback that can be called by sub-devices +to notify you of events. Whether you need to set this depends on the +sub-device. Any notifications a sub-device supports must be defined in a header +in ``include/media/subdevice.h``. + +V4L2 devices are unregistered by calling: + + :c:func:`v4l2_device_unregister` + (:c:type:`v4l2_dev `). + +If the dev->driver_data field points to :c:type:`v4l2_dev `, +it will be reset to ``NULL``. Unregistering will also automatically unregister +all subdevs from the device. + +If you have a hotpluggable device (e.g. a USB device), then when a disconnect +happens the parent device becomes invalid. Since :c:type:`v4l2_device` has a +pointer to that parent device it has to be cleared as well to mark that the +parent is gone. To do this call: + + :c:func:`v4l2_device_disconnect` + (:c:type:`v4l2_dev `). + +This does *not* unregister the subdevs, so you still need to call the +:c:func:`v4l2_device_unregister` function for that. If your driver is not +hotpluggable, then there is no need to call :c:func:`v4l2_device_disconnect`. + +Sometimes you need to iterate over all devices registered by a specific +driver. This is usually the case if multiple device drivers use the same +hardware. E.g. the ivtvfb driver is a framebuffer driver that uses the ivtv +hardware. The same is true for alsa drivers for example. + +You can iterate over all registered devices as follows: + +.. code-block:: c + + static int callback(struct device *dev, void *p) + { + struct v4l2_device *v4l2_dev = dev_get_drvdata(dev); + + /* test if this device was inited */ + if (v4l2_dev == NULL) + return 0; + ... + return 0; + } + + int iterate(void *p) + { + struct device_driver *drv; + int err; + + /* Find driver 'ivtv' on the PCI bus. + pci_bus_type is a global. For USB buses use usb_bus_type. */ + drv = driver_find("ivtv", &pci_bus_type); + /* iterate over all ivtv device instances */ + err = driver_for_each_device(drv, NULL, p, callback); + put_driver(drv); + return err; + } + +Sometimes you need to keep a running counter of the device instance. This is +commonly used to map a device instance to an index of a module option array. + +The recommended approach is as follows: + +.. code-block:: c + + static atomic_t drv_instance = ATOMIC_INIT(0); + + static int drv_probe(struct pci_dev *pdev, const struct pci_device_id *pci_id) + { + ... + state->instance = atomic_inc_return(&drv_instance) - 1; + } + +If you have multiple device nodes then it can be difficult to know when it is +safe to unregister :c:type:`v4l2_device` for hotpluggable devices. For this +purpose :c:type:`v4l2_device` has refcounting support. The refcount is +increased whenever :c:func:`video_register_device` is called and it is +decreased whenever that device node is released. When the refcount reaches +zero, then the :c:type:`v4l2_device` release() callback is called. You can +do your final cleanup there. + +If other device nodes (e.g. ALSA) are created, then you can increase and +decrease the refcount manually as well by calling: + + :c:func:`v4l2_device_get` + (:c:type:`v4l2_dev `). + +or: + + :c:func:`v4l2_device_put` + (:c:type:`v4l2_dev `). + +Since the initial refcount is 1 you also need to call +:c:func:`v4l2_device_put` in the ``disconnect()`` callback (for USB devices) +or in the ``remove()`` callback (for e.g. PCI devices), otherwise the refcount +will never reach 0. + +v4l2_device functions and data structures +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +.. kernel-doc:: include/media/v4l2-device.h -- cgit v1.2.3
