Merge tag 'net-next-6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:

- Support usec resolution of TCP timestamps, enabled selectively by a
route attribute.

- Defer regular TCP ACK while processing socket backlog, try to send
a cumulative ACK at the end. Increase single TCP flow performance
on a 200Gbit NIC by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit).

- The Fair Queuing (FQ) packet scheduler:
- add built-in 3 band prio / WRR scheduling
- support bypass if the qdisc is mostly idle (5% speed up for TCP RR)
- improve inactive flow reporting
- optimize the layout of structures for better cache locality

- Support TCP Authentication Option (RFC 5925, TCP-AO), a more modern
replacement for the old MD5 option.

- Add more retransmission timeout (RTO) related statistics to
TCP_INFO.

- Support sending fragmented skbs over vsock sockets.

- Make sure we send SIGPIPE for vsock sockets if socket was
shutdown().

- Add sysctl for ignoring lower limit on lifetime in Router
Advertisement PIO, based on an in-progress IETF draft.

- Add sysctl to control activation of TCP ping-pong mode.

- Add sysctl to make connection timeout in MPTCP configurable.

- Support rcvlowat and notsent_lowat on MPTCP sockets, to help apps
limit the number of wakeups.

- Support netlink GET for MDB (multicast forwarding), allowing user
space to request a single MDB entry instead of dumping the entire
table.

- Support selective FDB flushing in the VXLAN tunnel driver.

- Allow limiting learned FDB entries in bridges, prevent OOM attacks.

- Allow controlling via configfs netconsole targets which were
created via the kernel cmdline at boot, rather than via configfs at
runtime.

- Support multiple PTP timestamp event queue readers with different
filters.

- MCTP over I3C.

BPF:

- Add new veth-like netdevice where BPF program defines the logic of
the xmit routine. It can operate in L3 and L2 mode.

- Support exceptions - allow asserting conditions which should never
be true but are hard for the verifier to infer. With some extra
flexibility around handling of the exit / failure:

https://lwn.net/Articles/938435/

- Add support for local per-cpu kptr, allow allocating and storing
per-cpu objects in maps. Access to those objects operates on the
value for the current CPU.

This allows to deprecate local one-off implementations of per-CPU
storage like BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE maps.

- Extend cgroup BPF sockaddr hooks for UNIX sockets. The use case is
for systemd to re-implement the LogNamespace feature which allows
running multiple instances of systemd-journald to process the logs
of different services.

- Enable open-coded task_vma iteration, after maple tree conversion
made it hard to directly walk VMAs in tracing programs.

- Add open-coded task, css_task and css iterator support. One of the
use cases is customizable OOM victim selection via BPF.

- Allow source address selection with bpf_*_fib_lookup().

- Add ability to pin BPF timer to the current CPU.

- Prevent creation of infinite loops by combining tail calls and
fentry/fexit programs.

- Add missed stats for kprobes to retrieve the number of missed
kprobe executions and subsequent executions of BPF programs.

- Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations.

- Add BPF v4 CPU instruction support for arm32 and s390x.

Changes to common code:

- overflow: add DEFINE_FLEX() for on-stack definition of structs with
flexible array members.

- Process doc update with more guidance for reviewers.

Driver API:

- Simplify locking in WiFi (cfg80211 and mac80211 layers), use wiphy
mutex in most places and remove a lot of smaller locks.

- Create a common DPLL configuration API. Allow configuring and
querying state of PLL circuits used for clock syntonization, in
network time distribution.

- Unify fragmented and full page allocation APIs in page pool code.
Let drivers be ignorant of PAGE_SIZE.

- Rework PHY state machine to avoid races with calls to phy_stop().

- Notify DSA drivers of MAC address changes on user ports, improve
correctness of offloads which depend on matching port MAC
addresses.

- Allow antenna control on injected WiFi frames.

- Reduce the number of variants of napi_schedule().

- Simplify error handling when composing devlink health messages.

Misc:

- A lot of KCSAN data race "fixes", from Eric.

- A lot of __counted_by() annotations, from Kees.

- A lot of strncpy -> strscpy and printf format fixes.

- Replace master/slave terminology with conduit/user in DSA drivers.

- Handful of KUnit tests for netdev and WiFi core.

Merge tag 'net-next-5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"The sprinkling of SPI drivers is because we added a new one and Mark
sent us a SPI driver interface conversion pull request.

Core
----

- Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with
jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO).

- Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little.
Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns.
Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration
to complete out of order.

- Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and
maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect).

- Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout the
stack.

- Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically
allocated per-CPU counters.

- Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting
sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT.

- Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs.

BPF
---

- Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is
marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity.
Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower iTLB
pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from getting
split.

- Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce
the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers.

- Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop the
user-mode-driver dependency.

- Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling
its use as a packet generator.

- Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if
called from a hook allowed to sleep.

- Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch
bits to come later).

- Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF
kfunc infra.

- Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space.

- Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching.

- Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers.

- Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64.

- Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels
without BTF info.

- Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations.

Protocols
---------

- Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev.

- Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency
links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames.

- Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable,
via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client
behavior.

- VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only
configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge.

- Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames.

- Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where
given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.)

- Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets.

- Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS.
Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules.

- Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X).

- tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs,
doubling the performance in some scenarios.

- IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch.

- Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent
neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port.
Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor.

- SMC
- improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile()
- support auto-corking
- support TCP_NODELAY

- MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol)
- add user space tag control interface
- I2C binding driver (as specified by DMTF DSP0237)

- Multi-BSSID beacon handling in AP mode for WiFi.

- Bluetooth:
- handle MSFT Monitor Device Event
- add MGMT Adv Monitor Device Found/Lost events

- Multi-Path TCP:
- add support for the SO_SNDTIMEO socket option
- lots of selftest cleanups and improvements

- Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB.

Driver API
----------

- Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which
offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to
software interfaces such as tunnels.

- Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of
physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8.

- Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of
drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own
which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks.

- Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling of
TCP zero-copy Rx.

- Allow configuring completion queue event size.

- Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation.

- Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool.

- Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow
reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches.

- DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture):
- replay and offload of host VLAN entries
- offload of static and local FDB entries on LAG interfaces
- FDB isolation and unicast filtering

Merge branch 'dsa-fdb-isolation'

Vladimir Oltean says:

====================
DSA FDB isolation

There are use cases which need FDB isolation between standalone ports
and bridged ports, as well as isolation between ports of different
bridges. Most of these use cases are a result of the fact that packets
can now be partially forwarded by the software bridge, so one port might
need to send a packet to the CPU but its FDB lookup will see that it can
forward it directly to a bridge port where that packet was autonomously
learned. So the source port will attempt to shortcircuit the CPU and
forward autonomously, which it can't due to the forwarding isolation we
have in place. So we will have packet drops instead of proper operation.

Additionally, before DSA can implement IFF_UNICAST_FLT for standalone
ports, we must have control over which database we install FDB entries
corresponding to port MAC addresses in. We don't want to hinder the
operation of the bridging layer.

DSA does not have a driver API that encourages FDB isolation, so this
needs to be created. The basis for this is a new struct dsa_db which
annotates each FDB and MDB entry with the database it belongs to.

The sja1105 and felix drivers are modified to observe the dsa_db
argument, and therefore, enforce the FDB isolation.

Compared to the previous RFC patch series from August:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/cover/20210818120150.892647-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/

what is different is that I stopped trying to make SWITCHDEV_FDB_{ADD,DEL}_TO_DEVICE
blocking, instead I'm making use of the fact that DSA waits for switchdev FDB work
items to finish before a port leaves the bridge. This is possible since:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20211024171757.3753288-7-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/

Additionally, v2 is also rebased over the DSA LAG FDB work.

docs: net: dsa: sja1105: document limitations of tc-flower rule VLAN awareness

After change "net: dsa: tag_8021q: replace the SVL bridging with
VLAN-unaware IVL bridging", tag_8021q enforces two different pvids on a
port, depending on whether it is standalone or in a VLAN-unaware bridge.

Up until now, there was a single pvid, represented by
dsa_tag_8021q_rx_vid(), and that was used as the VLAN for VLAN-unaware
virtual link rules, regardless of whether the port was bridged or
standalone.

To keep VLAN-unaware virtual links working, we need to follow whether
the port is in a bridge or not, and update the VLAN ID from those rules.

In fact we can't fully do that. Depending on whether the switch is
VLAN-aware or not, we can accept Virtual Link rules with just the MAC
DA, or with a MAC DA and a VID. So we already deny changes to the VLAN
awareness of the switch. But the VLAN awareness may also change as a
result of joining or leaving a bridge.

One might say we could just allow the following: a port may leave a
VLAN-unaware bridge while it has VLAN-unaware VL (tc-flower) rules, and
the driver will update those with the new tag_8021q pvid for standalone
mode, but the driver won't accept joining a bridge at all while VL rules
were installed in standalone mode. This is sort of a compromise made
because leaving a bridge is an operation that cannot be vetoed.
But this sort of setup change is not fully supported, either: as
mentioned, VLAN filtering changes can also be triggered by leaving a
bridge, therefore, the existing veto we have in place for turning VLAN
filtering off with VLAN-aware VL rules active still isn't fully
effective.

I really don't know how to deal with this in a way that produces
predictable behavior for user space. Since at the moment, keeping this
feature fully functional on constellation changes (not changing the
tag_8021q port pvid when joining a bridge) is blocking progress for the
DSA FDB isolation, I'd rather document it as a (potentially temporary)
limitation and go on without it.
