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: GFDL-1.1-no-invariants-or-later + +.. _extended-controls: + +********************* +Extended Controls API +********************* + + +Introduction +============ + +The control mechanism as originally designed was meant to be used for +user settings (brightness, saturation, etc). However, it turned out to +be a very useful model for implementing more complicated driver APIs +where each driver implements only a subset of a larger API. + +The MPEG encoding API was the driving force behind designing and +implementing this extended control mechanism: the MPEG standard is quite +large and the currently supported hardware MPEG encoders each only +implement a subset of this standard. Further more, many parameters +relating to how the video is encoded into an MPEG stream are specific to +the MPEG encoding chip since the MPEG standard only defines the format +of the resulting MPEG stream, not how the video is actually encoded into +that format. + +Unfortunately, the original control API lacked some features needed for +these new uses and so it was extended into the (not terribly originally +named) extended control API. + +Even though the MPEG encoding API was the first effort to use the +Extended Control API, nowadays there are also other classes of Extended +Controls, such as Camera Controls and FM Transmitter Controls. The +Extended Controls API as well as all Extended Controls classes are +described in the following text. + + +The Extended Control API +======================== + +Three new ioctls are available: +:ref:`VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS `, +:ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS ` and +:ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS `. These ioctls act +on arrays of controls (as opposed to the +:ref:`VIDIOC_G_CTRL ` and +:ref:`VIDIOC_S_CTRL ` ioctls that act on a single +control). This is needed since it is often required to atomically change +several controls at once. + +Each of the new ioctls expects a pointer to a struct +:c:type:`v4l2_ext_controls`. This structure +contains a pointer to the control array, a count of the number of +controls in that array and a control class. Control classes are used to +group similar controls into a single class. For example, control class +``V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_USER`` contains all user controls (i. e. all controls +that can also be set using the old :ref:`VIDIOC_S_CTRL ` +ioctl). Control class ``V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_CODEC`` contains controls +relating to codecs. + +All controls in the control array must belong to the specified control +class. An error is returned if this is not the case. + +It is also possible to use an empty control array (``count`` == 0) to check +whether the specified control class is supported. + +The control array is a struct +:c:type:`v4l2_ext_control` array. The +struct :c:type:`v4l2_ext_control` is very similar to +struct :c:type:`v4l2_control`, except for the fact that +it also allows for 64-bit values and pointers to be passed. + +Since the struct :c:type:`v4l2_ext_control` supports +pointers it is now also possible to have controls with compound types +such as N-dimensional arrays and/or structures. You need to specify the +``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_COMPOUND`` when enumerating controls to actually +be able to see such compound controls. In other words, these controls +with compound types should only be used programmatically. + +Since such compound controls need to expose more information about +themselves than is possible with :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL ` +the :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERY_EXT_CTRL ` ioctl was added. In +particular, this ioctl gives the dimensions of the N-dimensional array if +this control consists of more than one element. + +.. note:: + + #. It is important to realize that due to the flexibility of controls it is + necessary to check whether the control you want to set actually is + supported in the driver and what the valid range of values is. So use + :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL` to check this. + + #. It is possible that some of the menu indices in a control of + type ``V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_MENU`` may not be supported (``VIDIOC_QUERYMENU`` + will return an error). A good example is the list of supported MPEG + audio bitrates. Some drivers only support one or two bitrates, others + support a wider range. + +All controls use machine endianness. + + +Enumerating Extended Controls +============================= + +The recommended way to enumerate over the extended controls is by using +:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL` in combination with the +``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL`` flag: + + +.. code-block:: c + + struct v4l2_queryctrl qctrl; + + qctrl.id = V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL; + while (0 == ioctl (fd, VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL, &qctrl)) { + /* ... */ + qctrl.id |= V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL; + } + +The initial control ID is set to 0 ORed with the +``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL`` flag. The ``VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL`` ioctl will +return the first control with a higher ID than the specified one. When +no such controls are found an error is returned. + +If you want to get all controls within a specific control class, then +you can set the initial ``qctrl.id`` value to the control class and add +an extra check to break out of the loop when a control of another +control class is found: + + +.. code-block:: c + + qctrl.id = V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_CODEC | V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL; + while (0 == ioctl(fd, VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL, &qctrl)) { + if (V4L2_CTRL_ID2CLASS(qctrl.id) != V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_CODEC) + break; + /* ... */ + qctrl.id |= V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL; + } + +The 32-bit ``qctrl.id`` value is subdivided into three bit ranges: the +top 4 bits are reserved for flags (e. g. ``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL``) +and are not actually part of the ID. The remaining 28 bits form the +control ID, of which the most significant 12 bits define the control +class and the least significant 16 bits identify the control within the +control class. It is guaranteed that these last 16 bits are always +non-zero for controls. The range of 0x1000 and up are reserved for +driver-specific controls. The macro ``V4L2_CTRL_ID2CLASS(id)`` returns +the control class ID based on a control ID. + +If the driver does not support extended controls, then +``VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL`` will fail when used in combination with +``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL``. In that case the old method of enumerating +control should be used (see :ref:`enum_all_controls`). But if it is +supported, then it is guaranteed to enumerate over all controls, +including driver-private controls. + + +Creating Control Panels +======================= + +It is possible to create control panels for a graphical user interface +where the user can select the various controls. Basically you will have +to iterate over all controls using the method described above. Each +control class starts with a control of type +``V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_CTRL_CLASS``. ``VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL`` will return the name +of this control class which can be used as the title of a tab page +within a control panel. + +The flags field of struct :ref:`v4l2_queryctrl ` also +contains hints on the behavior of the control. See the +:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL` documentation for more +details. -- cgit v1.2.3
