Merge tag 'net-next-6.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"The most significant set of changes is the per netns RTNL. The new
behavior is disabled by default, regression risk should be contained.

Notably the new config knob PTP_1588_CLOCK_VMCLOCK will inherit its
default value from PTP_1588_CLOCK_KVM, as the first is intended to be
a more reliable replacement for the latter.

Core:

- Started a very large, in-progress, effort to make the RTNL lock
scope per network-namespace, thus reducing the lock contention
significantly in the containerized use-case, comprising:
- RCU-ified some relevant slices of the FIB control path
- introduce basic per netns locking helpers
- namespacified the IPv4 address hash table
- remove rtnl_register{,_module}() in favour of
rtnl_register_many()
- refactor rtnl_{new,del,set}link() moving as much validation as
possible out of RTNL lock
- convert all phonet doit() and dumpit() handlers to RCU
- convert IPv4 addresses manipulation to per-netns RTNL
- convert virtual interface creation to per-netns RTNL
the per-netns lock infrastructure is guarded by the
CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL knob, disabled by default ad interim.

- Introduce NAPI suspension, to efficiently switching between busy
polling (NAPI processing suspended) and normal processing.

- Migrate the IPv4 routing input, output and control path from direct
ToS usage to DSCP macros. This is a work in progress to make ECN
handling consistent and reliable.

- Add drop reasons support to the IPv4 rotue input path, allowing
better introspection in case of packets drop.

- Make FIB seqnum lockless, dropping RTNL protection for read access.

- Make inet{,v6} addresses hashing less predicable.

- Allow providing timestamp OPT_ID via cmsg, to correlate TX packets
and timestamps

Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

- Add small file operations for debugfs, to reduce the struct ops
size.

- Refactoring and optimization for the implementation of page_frag
API, This is a preparatory work to consolidate the page_frag
implementation.

Netfilter:

- Optimize set element transactions to reduce memory consumption

- Extended netlink error reporting for attribute parser failure.

- Make legacy xtables configs user selectable, giving users the
option to configure iptables without enabling any other config.

- Address a lot of false-positive RCU issues, pointed by recent CI
improvements.

BPF:

- Put xsk sockets on a struct diet and add various cleanups. Overall,
this helps to bump performance by 12% for some workloads.

- Extend BPF selftests to increase coverage of XDP features in
combination with BPF cpumap.

- Optimize and homogenize bpf_csum_diff helper for all archs and also
add a batch of new BPF selftests for it.

- Extend netkit with an option to delegate skb->{mark,priority}
scrubbing to its BPF program.

- Make the bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper available also to tc(x) BPF
programs.

Protocols:

- Introduces 4-tuple hash for connected udp sockets, speeding-up
significantly connected sockets lookup.

- Add a fastpath for some TCP timers that usually expires after
close, the socket lock contention.

- Add inbound and outbound xfrm state caches to speed up state
lookups.

- Avoid sending MPTCP advertisements on stale subflows, reducing
risks on loosing them.

- Make neighbours table flushing more scalable, maintaining per
device neigh lists.

Driver API:

- Introduce a unified interface to configure transmission H/W
shaping, and expose it to user-space via generic-netlink.

- Add support for per-NAPI config via netlink. This makes napi
configuration persistent across queues removal and re-creation.
Requires driver updates, currently supported drivers are:
nVidia/Mellanox mlx4 and mlx5, Broadcom brcm and Intel ice.

- Add ethtool support for writing SFP / PHY firmware blocks.

- Track RSS context allocation from ethtool core.

- Implement support for mirroring to DSA CPU port, via TC mirror
offload.

- Consolidate FDB updates notification, to avoid duplicates on
device-specific entries.

- Expose DPLL clock quality level to the user-space.

- Support master-slave PHY config via device tree.

Tests and tooling:

- forwarding: introduce deferred commands, to simplify the cleanup
phase

Drivers:

- Updated several drivers - Amazon vNic, Google vNic, Microsoft vNic,
Intel e1000e and Broadcom Tigon3 - to use netdev-genl to link the
IRQs and queues to NAPI IDs, allowing busy polling and better
introspection.

net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Support LED control

This adds control over the hardware LEDs in the Marvell
MV88E6xxx DSA switch and enables it for MV88E6352.

This fixes an imminent problem on the Inteno XG6846 which
has a WAN LED that simply do not work with hardware
defaults: driver amendment is necessary.

The patch is modeled after Christian Marangis LED support
code for the QCA8k DSA switch, I got help with the register
definitions from Tim Harvey.

After this patch it is possible to activate hardware link
indication like this (or with a similar script):

cd /sys/class/leds/Marvell\ 88E6352:05:00:green:wan/
echo netdev > trigger
echo 1 > link

This makes the green link indicator come up on any link
speed. It is also possible to be more elaborate, like this:

cd /sys/class/leds/Marvell\ 88E6352:05:00:green:wan/
echo netdev > trigger
echo 1 > link_1000
cd /sys/class/leds/Marvell\ 88E6352:05:01:amber:wan/
echo netdev > trigger
echo 1 > link_100

Making the green LED come on for a gigabit link and the
amber LED come on for a 100 mbit link.

Each port has 2 LED slots (the hardware may use just one or
none) and the hardware triggers are specified in four bits per
LED, and some of the hardware triggers are only available on the
SFP (fiber) uplink. The restrictions are described in the
port.h header file where the registers are described. For
example, selector 1 set for LED 1 on port 5 or 6 will indicate
Fiber 1000 (gigabit) and activity with a blinking LED, but
ONLY for an SFP connection. If port 5/6 is used with something
not SFP, this selector is a noop: something else need to be
selected.

After the previous series rewriting the MV88E6xxx DT
bindings to use YAML a "leds" subnode is already valid
for each port, in my scratch device tree it looks like
this:

leds {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;

led@0 {
reg = <0>;
color = <LED_COLOR_ID_GREEN>;
function = LED_FUNCTION_LAN;
default-state = "off";
linux,default-trigger = "netdev";
};
led@1 {
reg = <1>;
color = <LED_COLOR_ID_AMBER>;
function = LED_FUNCTION_LAN;
default-state = "off";
};
};

This DT config is not yet configuring everything: when the netdev
default trigger is assigned the hw acceleration callbacks are
not called, and there is no way to set the netdev sub-trigger
type (such as link_1000) from the device tree, such as if you want
a gigabit link indicator. This has to be done from userspace at
this point.

We add LED operations to all switches in the 6352 family:
6172, 6176, 6240 and 6352.

Merge branch 'mv88e6xxx-phylink_pcs'

Russell King says:

====================
Convert mv88e6xxx to phylink_pcs

This series (previously posted with further patches on the 26 June as
RFC) converts mv88e6xxx to phylink_pcs, and thus moves it from being
a pre-March 2020 legacy driver.

The first four patches lay the ground-work for the conversion by
adding four new methods to the phylink_pcs operations structure:

pcs_enable() - called when the PCS is going to start to be used
pcs_disable() - called when the PCS is no longer being used

pcs_pre_config() - called before the MAC configuration method
pcs_post_config() - called after the MAC configuration method
Both of these are necessary for some of the mv88e639x
workarounds.

We also add the ability to inform phylink of a change to the PCS
state without involving the MAC later, by providing
phylink_pcs_change() which takes a phylink_pcs structure rather than
a phylink structure. phylink maintains which instance the PCS is
conencted to, so internally it can do the right thing when the PCS
is in-use.

Then we provide some additional mdiobus and mdiodev accessors that
we will be using in the new PCS drivers.

The changes for mv88e6xxx follow, and the first one needs to be
explicitly pointed out - we (Andrew and myself) have both decided that
all possible approaches to maintaining backwards compatibility with DT
have been exhaused - everyone has some objection to everything that
has been proposed. So, after many years of trying, we have decided
that this is just an impossibility, and with this patch, we are now
intentionally and knowingly breaking any DT that does not specify the
CPU and DSA port fixed-link parameters. Hence why Andrew has recently
been submitting DT update patches. It is regrettable that it has come
to this.

Following this, we start preparing 88e6xxx for phylink_pcs conversion
by padding the mac_select_pcs() DSA method, and the internal hooks to
create and tear-down PCS instances. Rather than bloat the already very
large mv88e6xxx_ops structure, I decided that it would be better that
the new internal chip specific PCS methods are all grouped within their
own structure - and this structure can be declared in the PCS drivers
themselves.

Then we have the actual conversion patches, one for each family of PCS.

Lastly, we clean up the driver after conversion, removing all the now
redundant code.
