rtnetlink: add needed_{head,tail}room attributes
Various network interface types make use of needed_{head,tail}room values
to efficiently reserve buffer space for additional encapsulation headers,
such as VXLAN, Geneve, IPSec, etc. However, it is not currently possible
to query these values in a generic way.
Introduce ability to query the needed_{head,tail}room values of a network
device via rtnetlink, such that applications that may wish to use these
values can do so.
For example, Cilium agent iterates over present devices based on user config
(direct routing, vxlan, geneve, wireguard etc.) and in future will configure
netkit in order to expose the needed_{head,tail}room into K8s pods. See
b9ed315d3c4c ("netkit: Allow for configuring needed_{head,tail}room").

doc/netlink: Fix typos in operation attributes
I'm trying to generate Rust bindings for netlink using the yaml spec.
It looks like there's a typo in conntrack spec: attribute set conntrack-attrs
defines attributes "counters-{orig,reply}" (plural), while get operation
references "counter-{orig,reply}" (singular). The latter should be fixed, as it
denotes multiple counters (packet and byte). The corresonding C define is
CTA_COUNTERS_ORIG.
Also, dump request references "nfgen-family" attribute, which neither exists in
conntrack-attrs attrset nor ctattr_type enum. There's member of nfgenmsg struct
with the same name, which is where family value is actually taken from.
> static int ctnetlink_dump_exp_ct(struct net *net, struct sock *ctnl,
> struct sk_buff *skb,
> const struct nlmsghdr *nlh,
> const struct nlattr * const cda[],
> struct netlink_ext_ack *extack)
> {
> int err;
> struct nfgenmsg *nfmsg = nlmsg_data(nlh);
> u_int8_t u3 = nfmsg->nfgen_family;

netlink: specs: explicitly declare block scalar strings
In YAML, it is allowed to declare a scalar strings at the next lines
without explicitly declaring them as a block. Yet, they looks weird, and
can cause issues when ':' or '#' are present.
The modified lines didn't have issues with the special characters, but
it seems better to explicitly declare such blocks as scalar strings to
encourage people to "properly" declare future scalar strings.
The right angle bracket is used with a minus sign to indicate that the
folded style should be used without adding extra newlines. By doing
that, the output is not changed compared to what was done before this
patch.

devlink: Fix excessive stack usage in rate TC bandwidth parsing
The devlink_nl_rate_tc_bw_parse function uses a large stack array for
devlink attributes, which triggers a warning about excessive stack
usage:
net/devlink/rate.c: In function 'devlink_nl_rate_tc_bw_parse':
net/devlink/rate.c:382:1: error: the frame size of 1648 bytes is larger than 1536 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
Introduce a separate attribute set specifically for rate TC bandwidth
parsing that only contains the two attributes actually used: index
and bandwidth. This reduces the stack array from DEVLINK_ATTR_MAX
entries to just 2 entries, solving the stack usage issue.
Update devlink selftest to use the new 'index' and 'bw' attribute names
consistent with the YAML spec.
Example usage with ynl with the new spec:
./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/devlink.yaml \
--do rate-set --json '{
"bus-name": "pci",
"dev-name": "0000:08:00.0",
"port-index": 1,
"rate-tc-bws": [
{"index": 0, "bw": 50},
{"index": 1, "bw": 50},
{"index": 2, "bw": 0},
{"index": 3, "bw": 0},
{"index": 4, "bw": 0},
{"index": 5, "bw": 0},
{"index": 6, "bw": 0},
{"index": 7, "bw": 0}
]
}'
./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/devlink.yaml \
--do rate-get --json '{
"bus-name": "pci",
"dev-name": "0000:08:00.0",
"port-index": 1
}'
output for rate-get:
{'bus-name': 'pci',

'port-index': 1,
'rate-tc-bws': [{'bw': 50, 'index': 0},

ethtool: rss: support removing contexts via Netlink
Implement removing additional RSS contexts via Netlink.
Technically it'd be possible to shoehorn the delete operation
into ethnl_request_ops-compatible handler. The code ends
up longer than open coded version, and I think we'll need
a custom way of sending notifications at some stage (if we
allow tying the context lifetime to the netlink socket, in
the future).

ethtool: rss: support setting flow hashing fields
Add support for ETHTOOL_SRXFH (setting hashing fields) in RSS_SET.
The tricky part is dealing with symmetric hashing. In netlink user
can change the hashing fields and symmetric hash in one request,
in IOCTL the two used to be set via different uAPI requests.
Since fields and hash function config are still separate driver
callbacks - changes to the two are not atomic. Keep things simple
and validate the settings against both pre- and post- change ones.
Meaning that we will reject the config request if user tries
to correct the flow fields and set input_xfrm in one request,
or disables input_xfrm and makes flow fields non-symmetric.
We can adjust it later if there's a real need. Starting simple feels
right, and potentially partially applying the settings isn't nice,
either.
