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.

'dmfs' - Device managed flow steering. +2. 'smfs' - Software/Driver managed flow steering. + +In DMFS mode, the HW steering entities are created and managed through the +Firmware. +In SMFS mode, the HW steering entities are created and managed though by +the driver directly into hardware without firmware intervention. + +SMFS mode is faster and provides better rule insertion rate compared to default DMFS mode. + +User command examples: + +- Set SMFS flow steering mode:: + + $ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 name flow_steering_mode value "smfs" cmode runtime + +- Read device flow steering mode:: + + $ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name flow_steering_mode + pci/0000:06:00.0: + name flow_steering_mode type driver-specific + values: + cmode runtime value smfs + +enable_roce: RoCE enablement state +---------------------------------- +If the device supports RoCE disablement, RoCE enablement state controls device +support for RoCE capability. Otherwise, the control occurs in the driver stack. +When RoCE is disabled at the driver level, only raw ethernet QPs are supported. + +To change RoCE enablement state, a user must change the driverinit cmode value +and run devlink reload. + +User command examples: + +- Disable RoCE:: + + $ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 name enable_roce value false cmode driverinit + $ devlink dev reload pci/0000:06:00.0 + +- Read RoCE enablement state:: + + $ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name enable_roce + pci/0000:06:00.0: + name enable_roce type generic + values: + cmode driverinit value true + +esw_port_metadata: Eswitch port metadata state +---------------------------------------------- +When applicable, disabling eswitch metadata can increase packet rate +up to 20% depending on the use case and packet sizes. + +Eswitch port metadata state controls whether to internally tag packets with +metadata. Metadata tagging must be enabled for multi-port RoCE, failover +between representors and stacked devices. +By default metadata is enabled on the supported devices in E-switch. +Metadata is applicable only for E-switch in switchdev mode and +users may disable it when NONE of the below use cases will be in use: +1. HCA is in Dual/multi-port RoCE mode. +2. VF/SF representor bonding (Usually used for Live migration) +3. Stacked devices + +When metadata is disabled, the above use cases will fail to initialize if +users try to enable them. + +- Show eswitch port metadata:: + + $ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name esw_port_metadata + pci/0000:06:00.0: + name esw_port_metadata type driver-specific + values: + cmode runtime value true + +- Disable eswitch port metadata:: + + $ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 name esw_port_metadata value false cmode runtime + +- Change eswitch mode to switchdev mode where after choosing the metadata value:: + + $ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:06:00.0 mode switchdev + +Health reporters +================ + +tx reporter +----------- +The tx reporter is responsible for reporting and recovering of the following two error scenarios: + +- tx timeout + Report on kernel tx timeout detection. + Recover by searching lost interrupts. +- tx error completion + Report on error tx completion. + Recover by flushing the tx queue and reset it. + +tx reporter also support on demand diagnose callback, on which it provides +real time information of its send queues status. + +User commands examples: + +- Diagnose send queues status:: + + $ devlink health diagnose pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter tx + +NOTE: This command has valid output only when interface is up, otherwise the command has empty output. + +- Show number of tx errors indicated, number of recover flows ended successfully, + is autorecover enabled and graceful period from last recover:: + + $ devlink health show pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter tx + +rx reporter +----------- +The rx reporter is responsible for reporting and recovering of the following two error scenarios: + +- rx queues' initialization (population) timeout + Population of rx queues' descriptors on ring initialization is done + in napi context via triggering an irq.
