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.

The current support allows for setting two timers, one for +specifying how long a state to be on, and the second for how long the state +to be off. The delay_on value specifies the time period an LED should stay +in on state, followed by a delay_off value that specifies how long the LED +should stay in off state. The on and off cycle repeats until the trigger +gets deactivated. There is no provision for one time activation to implement +features that require an on or off state to be held just once and then stay in +the original state forever. + +Without one shot timer interface, user space can still use timer trigger to +set a timer to hold a state, however when user space application crashes or +goes away without deactivating the timer, the hardware will be left in that +state permanently. + +Transient trigger addresses the need for one shot timer activation. The +transient trigger can be enabled and disabled just like the other leds +triggers. + +When an led class device driver registers itself, it can specify all leds +triggers it supports and a default trigger. During registration, activation +routine for the default trigger gets called. During registration of an led +class device, the LED state does not change. + +When the driver unregisters, deactivation routine for the currently active +trigger will be called, and LED state is changed to LED_OFF. + +Driver suspend changes the LED state to LED_OFF and resume doesn't change +the state. Please note that there is no explicit interaction between the +suspend and resume actions and the currently enabled trigger. LED state +changes are suspended while the driver is in suspend state. Any timers +that are active at the time driver gets suspended, continue to run, without +being able to actually change the LED state. Once driver is resumed, triggers +start functioning again. + +LED state changes are controlled using brightness which is a common led +class device property. When brightness is set to 0 from user space via +echo 0 > brightness, it will result in deactivating the current trigger. + +Transient trigger uses standard register and unregister interfaces. During +trigger registration, for each led class device that specifies this trigger +as its default trigger, trigger activation routine will get called. During +registration, the LED state does not change, unless there is another trigger +active, in which case LED state changes to LED_OFF. + +During trigger unregistration, LED state gets changed to LED_OFF. + +Transient trigger activation routine doesn't change the LED state. It +creates its properties and does its initialization. Transient trigger +deactivation routine, will cancel any timer that is active before it cleans +up and removes the properties it created. It will restore the LED state to +non-transient state. When driver gets suspended, irrespective of the transient +state, the LED state changes to LED_OFF. + +Transient trigger can be enabled and disabled from user space on led class +devices, that support this trigger as shown below:: + + echo transient > trigger + echo none > trigger + +NOTE: + Add a new property trigger state to control the state. + +This trigger exports three properties, activate, state, and duration. When +transient trigger is activated these properties are set to default values. + +- duration allows setting timer value in msecs. The initial value is 0. +- activate allows activating and deactivating the timer specified by + duration as needed. The initial and default value is 0. This will allow + duration to be set after trigger activation. +- state allows user to specify a transient state to be held for the specified + duration. + + activate + - one shot timer activate mechanism. + 1 when activated, 0 when deactivated. + default value is zero when transient trigger is enabled, + to allow duration to be set. + + activate state indicates a timer with a value of specified + duration running. + deactivated state indicates that there is no active timer + running. + + duration + - one shot timer value. When activate is set, duration value + is used to start a timer that runs once. This value doesn't + get changed by the trigger unless user does a set via + echo new_value > duration + + state + - transient state to be held. It has two values 0 or 1. 0 maps + to LED_OFF and 1 maps to LED_FULL. The specified state is + held for the duration of the one shot timer and then the + state gets changed to the non-transient state which is the + inverse of transient state. + If state = LED_FULL, when the timer runs out the state will + go back to LED_OFF. + If state = LED_OFF, when the timer runs out the state will + go back to LED_FULL. + Please note that current LED state is not checked prior to + changing the state to the specified state. + Driver could map these values to inverted depending on the + default states it defines for the LED in its brightness_set() + interface which is called from the led brightness_set() + interfaces to control the LED state. + +When timer expires activate goes back to deactivated state, duration is left +at the set value to be used when activate is set at a future time. This will +allow user app to set the time once and activate it to run it once for the +specified value as needed. When timer expires, state is restored to the +non-transient state which is the inverse of the transient state: + + ================= =============================================== + echo 1 > activate starts timer = duration when duration is not 0. + echo 0 > activate cancels currently running timer. + echo n > duration stores timer value to be used upon next + activate.
