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.

PM QoS framework +=================== + +A global list of CPU latency QoS requests is maintained along with an aggregated +(effective) target value. The aggregated target value is updated with changes +to the request list or elements of the list. For CPU latency QoS, the +aggregated target value is simply the min of the request values held in the list +elements. + +Note: the aggregated target value is implemented as an atomic variable so that +reading the aggregated value does not require any locking mechanism. + +From kernel space the use of this interface is simple: + +void cpu_latency_qos_add_request(handle, target_value): + Will insert an element into the CPU latency QoS list with the target value. + Upon change to this list the new target is recomputed and any registered + notifiers are called only if the target value is now different. + Clients of PM QoS need to save the returned handle for future use in other + PM QoS API functions. + +void cpu_latency_qos_update_request(handle, new_target_value): + Will update the list element pointed to by the handle with the new target + value and recompute the new aggregated target, calling the notification tree + if the target is changed. + +void cpu_latency_qos_remove_request(handle): + Will remove the element. After removal it will update the aggregate target + and call the notification tree if the target was changed as a result of + removing the request. + +int cpu_latency_qos_limit(): + Returns the aggregated value for the CPU latency QoS. + +int cpu_latency_qos_request_active(handle): + Returns if the request is still active, i.e. it has not been removed from the + CPU latency QoS list. + +int cpu_latency_qos_add_notifier(notifier): + Adds a notification callback function to the CPU latency QoS. The callback is + called when the aggregated value for the CPU latency QoS is changed. + +int cpu_latency_qos_remove_notifier(notifier): + Removes the notification callback function from the CPU latency QoS. + + +From user space: + +The infrastructure exposes one device node, /dev/cpu_dma_latency, for the CPU +latency QoS. + +Only processes can register a PM QoS request. To provide for automatic +cleanup of a process, the interface requires the process to register its +parameter requests as follows. + +To register the default PM QoS target for the CPU latency QoS, the process must +open /dev/cpu_dma_latency. + +As long as the device node is held open that process has a registered +request on the parameter. + +To change the requested target value, the process needs to write an s32 value to +the open device node. Alternatively, it can write a hex string for the value +using the 10 char long format e.g. "0x12345678". This translates to a +cpu_latency_qos_update_request() call. + +To remove the user mode request for a target value simply close the device +node. + + +2. PM QoS per-device latency and flags framework +================================================ + +For each device, there are three lists of PM QoS requests. Two of them are +maintained along with the aggregated targets of resume latency and active +state latency tolerance (in microseconds) and the third one is for PM QoS flags. +Values are updated in response to changes of the request list. + +The target values of resume latency and active state latency tolerance are +simply the minimum of the request values held in the parameter list elements. +The PM QoS flags aggregate value is a gather (bitwise OR) of all list elements' +values. One device PM QoS flag is defined currently: PM_QOS_FLAG_NO_POWER_OFF. + +Note: The aggregated target values are implemented in such a way that reading +the aggregated value does not require any locking mechanism. + + +From kernel mode the use of this interface is the following: + +int dev_pm_qos_add_request(device, handle, type, value): + Will insert an element into the list for that identified device with the + target value. Upon change to this list the new target is recomputed and any + registered notifiers are called only if the target value is now different. + Clients of dev_pm_qos need to save the handle for future use in other + dev_pm_qos API functions. + +int dev_pm_qos_update_request(handle, new_value): + Will update the list element pointed to by the handle with the new target + value and recompute the new aggregated target, calling the notification + trees if the target is changed. + +int dev_pm_qos_remove_request(handle): + Will remove the element. After removal it will update the aggregate target + and call the notification trees if the target was changed as a result of + removing the request. + +s32 dev_pm_qos_read_value(device, type): + Returns the aggregated value for a given device's constraints list. + +enum pm_qos_flags_status dev_pm_qos_flags(device, mask) + Check PM QoS flags of the given device against the given mask of flags. + The meaning of the return values is as follows: + + PM_QOS_FLAGS_ALL: + All flags from the mask are set + PM_QOS_FLAGS_SOME: + Some flags from the mask are set + PM_QOS_FLAGS_NONE: + No flags from the mask are set + PM_QOS_FLAGS_UNDEFINED: + The device's PM QoS structure has not been initialized + or the list of requests is empty. + +int dev_pm_qos_add_ancestor_request(dev, handle, type, value) + Add a PM QoS request for the first direct ancestor of the given device whose + power.ignore_children flag is unset (for DEV_PM_QOS_RESUME_LATENCY requests) + or whose power.set_latency_tolerance callback pointer is not NULL (for + DEV_PM_QOS_LATENCY_TOLERANCE requests). + +int dev_pm_qos_expose_latency_limit(device, value) + Add a request to the device's PM QoS list of resume latency constraints and + create a sysfs attribute pm_qos_resume_latency_us under the device's power + directory allowing user space to manipulate that request. + +void dev_pm_qos_hide_latency_limit(device) + Drop the request added by dev_pm_qos_expose_latency_limit() from the device's + PM QoS list of resume latency constraints and remove sysfs attribute + pm_qos_resume_latency_us from the device's power directory. + +int dev_pm_qos_expose_flags(device, value) + Add a request to the device's PM QoS list of flags and create sysfs attribute + pm_qos_no_power_off under the device's power directory allowing user space to + change the value of the PM_QOS_FLAG_NO_POWER_OFF flag. + +void dev_pm_qos_hide_flags(device) + Drop the request added by dev_pm_qos_expose_flags() from the device's PM QoS + list of flags and remove sysfs attribute pm_qos_no_power_off from the device's + power directory. + +Notification mechanisms: + +The per-device PM QoS framework has a per-device notification tree. + +int dev_pm_qos_add_notifier(device, notifier, type): + Adds a notification callback function for the device for a particular request + type. + + The callback is called when the aggregated value of the device constraints + list is changed. + +int dev_pm_qos_remove_notifier(device, notifier, type): + Removes the notification callback function for the device. + + +Active state latency tolerance +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +This device PM QoS type is used to support systems in which hardware may switch +to energy-saving operation modes on the fly. In those systems, if the operation +mode chosen by the hardware attempts to save energy in an overly aggressive way, +it may cause excess latencies to be visible to software, causing it to miss +certain protocol requirements or target frame or sample rates etc. + +If there is a latency tolerance control mechanism for a given device available +to software, the .set_latency_tolerance callback in that device's dev_pm_info +structure should be populated. The routine pointed to by it is should implement +whatever is necessary to transfer the effective requirement value to the +hardware. + +Whenever the effective latency tolerance changes for the device, its +.set_latency_tolerance() callback will be executed and the effective value will +be passed to it. If that value is negative, which means that the list of +latency tolerance requirements for the device is empty, the callback is expected +to switch the underlying hardware latency tolerance control mechanism to an +autonomous mode if available. If that value is PM_QOS_LATENCY_ANY, in turn, and +the hardware supports a special "no requirement" setting, the callback is +expected to use it. That allows software to prevent the hardware from +automatically updating the device's latency tolerance in response to its power +state changes (e.g. during transitions from D3cold to D0), which generally may +be done in the autonomous latency tolerance control mode. + +If .set_latency_tolerance() is present for the device, sysfs attribute +pm_qos_latency_tolerance_us will be present in the devivce's power directory. +Then, user space can use that attribute to specify its latency tolerance +requirement for the device, if any. Writing "any" to it means "no requirement, +but do not let the hardware control latency tolerance" and writing "auto" to it +allows the hardware to be switched to the autonomous mode if there are no other +requirements from the kernel side in the device's list. + +Kernel code can use the functions described above along with the +DEV_PM_QOS_LATENCY_TOLERANCE device PM QoS type to add, remove and update +latency tolerance requirements for devices. -- cgit v1.2.3
