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.

If no output is obtained, then +you need to enable and/or load the VKMS driver. +Ensure that the VKMS driver has been set as a loadable module in your +kernel config file.

You can use the `modinfo` command +to see the module options for vkms:: + + modinfo vkms + +Module options are helpful when testing, and enabling modules +can be done while loading vkms.

However, we also have virtual hardware that does + not support vblank interrupt and completes page_flip events right away; in + this case, compositor developers may end up creating a busy loop on virtual + hardware. It would be useful to support Virtual Hardware behavior in VKMS + because this can help compositor developers to test their features in + multiple scenarios. + +Add Plane Features +------------------ + +There's lots of plane features we could add support for: + +- ARGB format on primary plane: blend the primary plane into background with + translucent alpha. + +- Add background color KMS property[Good to get started]. + +- Full alpha blending on all planes. + +- Rotation, scaling. + +- Additional buffer formats, especially YUV formats for video like NV12. + Low/high bpp RGB formats would also be interesting. + +- Async updates (currently only possible on cursor plane using the legacy + cursor api). + +For all of these, we also want to review the igt test coverage and make sure +all relevant igt testcases work on vkms. They are good options for internship +project. + +Runtime Configuration +--------------------- + +We want to be able to reconfigure vkms instance without having to reload the +module. Use/Test-cases: + +- Hotplug/hotremove connectors on the fly (to be able to test DP MST handling + of compositors). + +- Configure planes/crtcs/connectors (we'd need some code to have more than 1 of + them first). + +- Change output configuration: Plug/unplug screens, change EDID, allow changing + the refresh rate. + +The currently proposed solution is to expose vkms configuration through +configfs. All existing module options should be supported through configfs +too. + +Writeback support +----------------- + +- The writeback and CRC capture operations share the use of composer_enabled + boolean to ensure vblanks. Probably, when these operations work together, + composer_enabled needs to refcounting the composer state to proper work. + [Good to get started] + +- Add support for cloned writeback outputs and related test cases using a + cloned output in the IGT kms_writeback. + +- As a v4l device. This is useful for debugging compositors on special vkms + configurations, so that developers see what's really going on. + +Output Features +--------------- + +- Variable refresh rate/freesync support. This probably needs prime buffer + sharing support, so that we can use vgem fences to simulate rendering in + testing. Also needs support to specify the EDID. + +- Add support for link status, so that compositors can validate their runtime + fallbacks when e.g. a Display Port link goes bad. + +CRC API Improvements +-------------------- + +- Optimize CRC computation ``compute_crc()`` and plane blending ``blend()`` + +Atomic Check using eBPF +----------------------- + +Atomic drivers have lots of restrictions which are not exposed to userspace in +any explicit form through e.g. possible property values. Userspace can only +inquiry about these limits through the atomic IOCTL, possibly using the +TEST_ONLY flag. Trying to add configurable code for all these limits, to allow +compositors to be tested against them, would be rather futile exercise. Instead +we could add support for eBPF to validate any kind of atomic state, and +implement a library of different restrictions. + +This needs a bunch of features (plane compositing, multiple outputs, ...) +enabled already to make sense. -- cgit v1.2.3
