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+ + +============================================================= +Linux Base Driver for the Intel(R) PRO/100 Family of Adapters +============================================================= + +June 1, 2018 + +Contents +======== + +- In This Release +- Identifying Your Adapter +- Building and Installation +- Driver Configuration Parameters +- Additional Configurations +- Known Issues +- Support + + +In This Release +=============== + +This file describes the Linux Base Driver for the Intel(R) PRO/100 Family of +Adapters. This driver includes support for Itanium(R)2-based systems. + +For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation +supplied with your Intel PRO/100 adapter. + +The following features are now available in supported kernels: + - Native VLANs + - Channel Bonding (teaming) + - SNMP + +Channel Bonding documentation can be found in the Linux kernel source: +/Documentation/networking/bonding.rst + + +Identifying Your Adapter +======================== + +For information on how to identify your adapter, and for the latest Intel +network drivers, refer to the Intel Support website: +https://www.intel.com/support + +Driver Configuration Parameters +=============================== + +The default value for each parameter is generally the recommended setting, +unless otherwise noted. + +Rx Descriptors: + Number of receive descriptors. A receive descriptor is a data + structure that describes a receive buffer and its attributes to the network + controller. The data in the descriptor is used by the controller to write + data from the controller to host memory. In the 3.x.x driver the valid range + for this parameter is 64-256. The default value is 256. This parameter can be + changed using the command:: + + ethtool -G eth? rx n + + Where n is the number of desired Rx descriptors. + +Tx Descriptors: + Number of transmit descriptors. A transmit descriptor is a data + structure that describes a transmit buffer and its attributes to the network + controller. The data in the descriptor is used by the controller to read + data from the host memory to the controller. In the 3.x.x driver the valid + range for this parameter is 64-256. The default value is 128. This parameter + can be changed using the command:: + + ethtool -G eth? tx n + + Where n is the number of desired Tx descriptors. + +Speed/Duplex: + The driver auto-negotiates the link speed and duplex settings by + default. The ethtool utility can be used as follows to force speed/duplex.:: + + ethtool -s eth? autoneg off speed {10|100} duplex {full|half} + + NOTE: setting the speed/duplex to incorrect values will cause the link to + fail. + +Event Log Message Level: + The driver uses the message level flag to log events + to syslog. The message level can be set at driver load time. It can also be + set using the command:: + + ethtool -s eth? msglvl n + + +Additional Configurations +========================= + +Configuring the Driver on Different Distributions +------------------------------------------------- + +Configuring a network driver to load properly when the system is started +is distribution dependent. Typically, the configuration process involves +adding an alias line to `/etc/modprobe.d/*.conf` as well as editing other +system startup scripts and/or configuration files. Many popular Linux +distributions ship with tools to make these changes for you. To learn +the proper way to configure a network device for your system, refer to +your distribution documentation. If during this process you are asked +for the driver or module name, the name for the Linux Base Driver for +the Intel PRO/100 Family of Adapters is e100. + +As an example, if you install the e100 driver for two PRO/100 adapters +(eth0 and eth1), add the following to a configuration file in +/etc/modprobe.d/:: + + alias eth0 e100 + alias eth1 e100 + +Viewing Link Messages +--------------------- + +In order to see link messages and other Intel driver information on your +console, you must set the dmesg level up to six. This can be done by +entering the following on the command line before loading the e100 +driver:: + + dmesg -n 6 + +If you wish to see all messages issued by the driver, including debug +messages, set the dmesg level to eight. + +NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots. + +ethtool +------- + +The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and +diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The ethtool +version 1.6 or later is required for this functionality. + +The latest release of ethtool can be found from +https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/ + +Enabling Wake on LAN (WoL) +-------------------------- +WoL is provided through the ethtool utility. For instructions on +enabling WoL with ethtool, refer to the ethtool man page. WoL will be +enabled on the system during the next shut down or reboot. For this +driver version, in order to enable WoL, the e100 driver must be loaded +when shutting down or rebooting the system. + +NAPI +---- + +NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the e100 driver. + +See https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/napi for more +information on NAPI. + +Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network +------------------------------------------------------ + +Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have one +system on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain +(non-partitioned switch) behave as expected. All Ethernet interfaces +will respond to IP traffic for any IP address assigned to the system. +This results in unbalanced receive traffic. + +If you have multiple interfaces in a server, either turn on ARP +filtering by + +(1) entering:: + + echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter + + (this only works if your kernel's version is higher than 2.4.5), or + +(2) installing the interfaces in separate broadcast domains (either + in different switches or in a switch partitioned to VLANs). + + +Support +======= +For general information, go to the Intel support website at: +https://www.intel.com/support/ + +or the Intel Wired Networking project hosted by Sourceforge at: +http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000 +If an issue is identified with the released source code on a supported kernel +with a supported adapter, email the specific information related to the issue +to e1000-devel@lists.sf.net. -- cgit v1.2.3
