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.

A subset of HFI nodes on the Omni-Path fabric are +permitted to exchange encapsulated Ethernet packets across a particular +virtual Ethernet switch. The virtual Ethernet switches are logical +abstractions achieved by configuring the HFI nodes on the fabric for +header generation and processing. In the simplest configuration all HFI +nodes across the fabric exchange encapsulated Ethernet packets over a +single virtual Ethernet switch. A virtual Ethernet switch, is effectively +an independent Ethernet network. The configuration is performed by an +Ethernet Manager (EM) which is part of the trusted Fabric Manager (FM) +application. HFI nodes can have multiple VNICs each connected to a +different virtual Ethernet switch. The below diagram presents a case +of two virtual Ethernet switches with two HFI nodes:: + + +-------------------+ + | Subnet/ | + | Ethernet | + | Manager | + +-------------------+ + / / + / / + / / + / / + +-----------------------------+ +------------------------------+ + | Virtual Ethernet Switch | | Virtual Ethernet Switch | + | +---------+ +---------+ | | +---------+ +---------+ | + | | VPORT | | VPORT | | | | VPORT | | VPORT | | + +--+---------+----+---------+-+ +-+---------+----+---------+---+ + | \ / | + | \ / | + | \/ | + | / \ | + | / \ | + +-----------+------------+ +-----------+------------+ + | VNIC | VNIC | | VNIC | VNIC | + +-----------+------------+ +-----------+------------+ + | HFI | | HFI | + +------------------------+ +------------------------+ + + +The Omni-Path encapsulated Ethernet packet format is as described below. + +==================== ================================ +Bits Field +==================== ================================ +Quad Word 0: +0-19 SLID (lower 20 bits) +20-30 Length (in Quad Words) +31 BECN bit +32-51 DLID (lower 20 bits) +52-56 SC (Service Class) +57-59 RC (Routing Control) +60 FECN bit +61-62 L2 (=10, 16B format) +63 LT (=1, Link Transfer Head Flit) + +Quad Word 1: +0-7 L4 type (=0x78 ETHERNET) +8-11 SLID[23:20] +12-15 DLID[23:20] +16-31 PKEY +32-47 Entropy +48-63 Reserved + +Quad Word 2: +0-15 Reserved +16-31 L4 header +32-63 Ethernet Packet + +Quad Words 3 to N-1: +0-63 Ethernet packet (pad extended) + +Quad Word N (last): +0-23 Ethernet packet (pad extended) +24-55 ICRC +56-61 Tail +62-63 LT (=01, Link Transfer Tail Flit) +==================== ================================ + +Ethernet packet is padded on the transmit side to ensure that the VNIC OPA +packet is quad word aligned. The 'Tail' field contains the number of bytes +padded. On the receive side the 'Tail' field is read and the padding is +removed (along with ICRC, Tail and OPA header) before passing packet up +the network stack. + +The L4 header field contains the virtual Ethernet switch id the VNIC port +belongs to. On the receive side, this field is used to de-multiplex the +received VNIC packets to different VNIC ports. + +Driver Design +============== +Intel OPA VNIC software design is presented in the below diagram. +OPA VNIC functionality has a HW dependent component and a HW +independent component. + +The support has been added for IB device to allocate and free the RDMA +netdev devices. The RDMA netdev supports interfacing with the network +stack thus creating standard network interfaces. OPA_VNIC is an RDMA +netdev device type. + +The HW dependent VNIC functionality is part of the HFI1 driver. It +implements the verbs to allocate and free the OPA_VNIC RDMA netdev. +It involves HW resource allocation/management for VNIC functionality. +It interfaces with the network stack and implements the required +net_device_ops functions. It expects Omni-Path encapsulated Ethernet +packets in the transmit path and provides HW access to them. It strips +the Omni-Path header from the received packets before passing them up +the network stack. It also implements the RDMA netdev control operations. + +The OPA VNIC module implements the HW independent VNIC functionality. +It consists of two parts. The VNIC Ethernet Management Agent (VEMA) +registers itself with IB core as an IB client and interfaces with the +IB MAD stack. It exchanges the management information with the Ethernet +Manager (EM) and the VNIC netdev. The VNIC netdev part allocates and frees +the OPA_VNIC RDMA netdev devices. It overrides the net_device_ops functions +set by HW dependent VNIC driver where required to accommodate any control +operation. It also handles the encapsulation of Ethernet packets with an +Omni-Path header in the transmit path. For each VNIC interface, the +information required for encapsulation is configured by the EM via VEMA MAD +interface. It also passes any control information to the HW dependent driver +by invoking the RDMA netdev control operations:: + + +-------------------+ +----------------------+ + | | | Linux | + | IB MAD | | Network | + | | | Stack | + +-------------------+ +----------------------+ + | | | + | | | + +----------------------------+ | + | | | + | OPA VNIC Module | | + | (OPA VNIC RDMA Netdev | | + | & EMA functions) | | + | | | + +----------------------------+ | + | | + | | + +------------------+ | + | IB core | | + +------------------+ | + | | + | | + +--------------------------------------------+ + | | + | HFI1 Driver with VNIC support | + | | + +--------------------------------------------+ -- cgit v1.2.3
