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.

Instead, all FDB entries with the ``self`` flag (implicit or +explicit) are treated by DSA as ``static`` even if they are ``local``. + + .. code-block:: sh + + # This command: + bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:05 static + # behaves the same for DSA as this command: + bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:05 local + # or shorthand, because the 'local' flag is implicit if 'static' is not + # specified, it also behaves the same as: + bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:05 + +The last command is an incorrect way of adding a static bridge FDB entry to a +DSA switch using the bridge bypass operations, and works by mistake. Other +drivers will treat an FDB entry added by the same command as ``local`` and as +such, will not forward it, as opposed to DSA. + +Between kernel v4.14 and v5.14, DSA has supported in parallel two modes of +adding a bridge FDB entry to the switch: the bridge bypass discussed above, as +well as a new mode using the ``master`` flag which installs FDB entries in the +software bridge too. + + .. code-block:: sh + + bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:05 master static + +Since kernel v5.14, DSA has gained stronger integration with the bridge's +software FDB, and the support for its bridge bypass FDB implementation (using +the ``self`` flag) has been removed. This results in the following changes: + + .. code-block:: sh + + # This is the only valid way of adding an FDB entry that is supported, + # compatible with v4.14 kernels and later: + bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:05 master static + # This command is no longer buggy and the entry is properly treated as + # 'local' instead of being forwarded: + bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:05 + # This command no longer installs a static FDB entry to hardware: + bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:05 static + +Script writers are therefore encouraged to use the ``master static`` set of +flags when working with bridge FDB entries on DSA switch interfaces. + +Affinity of user ports to CPU ports +----------------------------------- + +Typically, DSA switches are attached to the host via a single Ethernet +interface, but in cases where the switch chip is discrete, the hardware design +may permit the use of 2 or more ports connected to the host, for an increase in +termination throughput. + +DSA can make use of multiple CPU ports in two ways. First, it is possible to +statically assign the termination traffic associated with a certain user port +to be processed by a certain CPU port. This way, user space can implement +custom policies of static load balancing between user ports, by spreading the +affinities according to the available CPU ports. + +Secondly, it is possible to perform load balancing between CPU ports on a per +packet basis, rather than statically assigning user ports to CPU ports. +This can be achieved by placing the DSA masters under a LAG interface (bonding +or team). DSA monitors this operation and creates a mirror of this software LAG +on the CPU ports facing the physical DSA masters that constitute the LAG slave +devices. + +To make use of multiple CPU ports, the firmware (device tree) description of +the switch must mark all the links between CPU ports and their DSA masters +using the ``ethernet`` reference/phandle. At startup, only a single CPU port +and DSA master will be used - the numerically first port from the firmware +description which has an ``ethernet`` property. It is up to the user to +configure the system for the switch to use other masters. + +DSA uses the ``rtnl_link_ops`` mechanism (with a "dsa" ``kind``) to allow +changing the DSA master of a user port. The ``IFLA_DSA_MASTER`` u32 netlink +attribute contains the ifindex of the master device that handles each slave +device. The DSA master must be a valid candidate based on firmware node +information, or a LAG interface which contains only slaves which are valid +candidates. + +Using iproute2, the following manipulations are possible: + + .. code-block:: sh + + # See the DSA master in current use + ip -d link show dev swp0 + (...) + dsa master eth0 + + # Static CPU port distribution + ip link set swp0 type dsa master eth1 + ip link set swp1 type dsa master eth0 + ip link set swp2 type dsa master eth1 + ip link set swp3 type dsa master eth0 + + # CPU ports in LAG, using explicit assignment of the DSA master + ip link add bond0 type bond mode balance-xor && ip link set bond0 up + ip link set eth1 down && ip link set eth1 master bond0 + ip link set swp0 type dsa master bond0 + ip link set swp1 type dsa master bond0 + ip link set swp2 type dsa master bond0 + ip link set swp3 type dsa master bond0 + ip link set eth0 down && ip link set eth0 master bond0 + ip -d link show dev swp0 + (...) + dsa master bond0 + + # CPU ports in LAG, relying on implicit migration of the DSA master + ip link add bond0 type bond mode balance-xor && ip link set bond0 up + ip link set eth0 down && ip link set eth0 master bond0 + ip link set eth1 down && ip link set eth1 master bond0 + ip -d link show dev swp0 + (...) + dsa master bond0 + +Notice that in the case of CPU ports under a LAG, the use of the +``IFLA_DSA_MASTER`` netlink attribute is not strictly needed, but rather, DSA +reacts to the ``IFLA_MASTER`` attribute change of its present master (``eth0``) +and migrates all user ports to the new upper of ``eth0``, ``bond0``. Similarly, +when ``bond0`` is destroyed using ``RTM_DELLINK``, DSA migrates the user ports +that were assigned to this interface to the first physical DSA master which is +eligible, based on the firmware description (it effectively reverts to the +startup configuration). + +In a setup with more than 2 physical CPU ports, it is therefore possible to mix +static user to CPU port assignment with LAG between DSA masters. It is not +possible to statically assign a user port towards a DSA master that has any +upper interfaces (this includes LAG devices - the master must always be the LAG +in this case). + +Live changing of the DSA master (and thus CPU port) affinity of a user port is +permitted, in order to allow dynamic redistribution in response to traffic. + +Physical DSA masters are allowed to join and leave at any time a LAG interface +used as a DSA master; however, DSA will reject a LAG interface as a valid +candidate for being a DSA master unless it has at least one physical DSA master +as a slave device. -- cgit v1.2.3
