Merge tag 'net-next-6.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:
- Complete rework of garbage collection of AF_UNIX sockets.
AF_UNIX is prone to forming reference count cycles due to fd
passing functionality. New method based on Tarjan's Strongly
Connected Components algorithm should be both faster and remove a
lot of workarounds we accumulated over the years.
- Add TCP fraglist GRO support, allowing chaining multiple TCP
packets and forwarding them together. Useful for small switches /
routers which lack basic checksum offload in some scenarios (e.g.
PPPoE).
- Support using SMP threads for handling packet backlog i.e. packet
processing from software interfaces and old drivers which don't use
NAPI. This helps move the processing out of the softirq jumble.
- Continue work of converting from rtnl lock to RCU protection.
Don't require rtnl lock when reading: IPv6 routing FIB, IPv6
address labels, netdev threaded NAPI sysfs files, bonding driver's
sysfs files, MPLS devconf, IPv4 FIB rules, netns IDs, tcp metrics,
TC Qdiscs, neighbor entries, ARP entries via ioctl(SIOCGARP), a lot
of the link information available via rtnetlink.
- Small optimizations from Eric to UDP wake up handling, memory
accounting, RPS/RFS implementation, TCP packet sizing etc.
- Allow direct page recycling in the bulk API used by XDP, for +2%
PPS.
- Support peek with an offset on TCP sockets.
- Add MPTCP APIs for querying last time packets were received/sent/acked
and whether MPTCP "upgrade" succeeded on a TCP socket.
- Add intra-node communication shortcut to improve SMC performance.
- Add IPv6 (and IPv{4,6}-over-IPv{4,6}) support to the GTP protocol
driver.
- Add HSR-SAN (RedBOX) mode of operation to the HSR protocol driver.
- Add reset reasons for tracing what caused a TCP reset to be sent.
- Introduce direction attribute for xfrm (IPSec) states. State can be
used either for input or output packet processing.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:
- Add bitmap_{read,write}(), bitmap_size(), expose BYTES_TO_BITS().
This required touch-ups and renaming of a few existing users.
- Add Endian-dependent __counted_by_{le,be} annotations.
- Make building selftests "quieter" by printing summaries like
"CC object.o" rather than full commands with all the arguments.
Netfilter:
- Use GFP_KERNEL to clone elements, to deal better with OOM
situations and avoid failures in the .commit step.
BPF:
- Add eBPF JIT for ARCv2 CPUs.
- Support attaching kprobe BPF programs through kprobe_multi link in
a session mode, meaning, a BPF program is attached to both function
entry and return, the entry program can decide if the return
program gets executed and the entry program can share u64 cookie
value with return program. "Session mode" is a common use-case for
tetragon and bpftrace.
- Add the ability to specify and retrieve BPF cookie for raw
tracepoint programs in order to ease migration from classic to raw
tracepoints.
- Add an internal-only BPF per-CPU instruction for resolving per-CPU
memory addresses and implement support in x86, ARM64 and RISC-V
JITs. This allows inlining functions which need to access per-CPU
state.
- Optimize x86 BPF JIT's emit_mov_imm64, and add support for various
atomics in bpf_arena which can be JITed as a single x86
instruction. Support BPF arena on ARM64.
- Add a new bpf_wq API for deferring events and refactor
process-context bpf_timer code to keep common code where possible.
- Harden the BPF verifier's and/or/xor value tracking.
- Introduce crypto kfuncs to let BPF programs call kernel crypto
APIs.
- Support bpf_tail_call_static() helper for BPF programs with GCC 13.
- Add bpf_preempt_{disable,enable}() kfuncs in order to allow a BPF
program to have code sections where preemption is disabled.
Driver API:
- Skip software TC processing completely if all installed rules are
marked as HW-only, instead of checking the HW-only flag rule by
rule.
- Add support for configuring PoE (Power over Ethernet), similar to
the already existing support for PoDL (Power over Data Line)
config.
- Initial bits of a queue control API, for now allowing a single
queue to be reset without disturbing packet flow to other queues.
- Common (ethtool) statistics for hardware timestamping.
Tests and tooling:
- Remove the need to create a config file to run the net forwarding
tests so that a naive "make run_tests" can exercise them.
- Define a method of writing tests which require an external endpoint
to communicate with (to send/receive data towards the test
machine). Add a few such tests.
- Create a shared code library for writing Python tests. Expose the
YAML Netlink library from tools/ to the tests for easy Netlink
access.
- Move netfilter tests under net/, extend them, separate performance
tests from correctness tests, and iron out issues found by running
them "on every commit".
- Refactor BPF selftests to use common network helpers.
- Further work filling in YAML definitions of Netlink messages for:
nftables, team driver, bonding interfaces, vlan interfaces, VF
info, TC u32 mark, TC police action.
- Teach Python YAML Netlink to decode attribute policies.
- Extend the definition of the "indexed array" construct in the specs
to cover arrays of scalars rather than just nests.
- Add hyperlinks between definitions in generated Netlink docs.
Drivers:
- Make sure unsupported flower control flags are rejected by drivers,
and make more drivers report errors directly to the application
rather than dmesg (large number of driver changes from Asbjørn
Sloth Tønnesen).
- Ethernet high-speed NICs:
- Broadcom (bnxt):
- support multiple RSS contexts and steering traffic to them

====================
net: intel: start The Great Code Dedup + Page Pool for iavf
Alexander Lobakin says:
Here's a two-shot: introduce {,Intel} Ethernet common library (libeth and
libie) and switch iavf to Page Pool. Details are in the commit messages;
here's a summary:
Not a secret there's a ton of code duplication between two and more Intel
ethernet modules. Before introducing new changes, which would need to be
copied over again, start decoupling the already existing duplicate
functionality into a new module, which will be shared between several
Intel Ethernet drivers. The first name that came to my mind was
"libie" -- "Intel Ethernet common library". Also this sounds like
"lovelie" (-> one word, no "lib I E" pls) and can be expanded as
"lib Internet Explorer" :P
The "generic", pure-software part is placed separately, so that it can be
easily reused in any driver by any vendor without linking to the Intel
pre-200G guts. In a few words, it's something any modern driver does the
same way, but nobody moved it level up (yet).
The series is only the beginning. From now on, adding every new feature
or doing any good driver refactoring will remove much more lines than add
for quite some time. There's a basic roadmap with some deduplications
planned already, not speaking of that touching every line now asks:
"can I share this?". The final destination is very ambitious: have only
one unified driver for at least i40e, ice, iavf, and idpf with a struct
ops for each generation. That's never gonna happen, right? But you still
can at least try.
PP conversion for iavf lands within the same series as these two are tied
closely. libie will support Page Pool model only, so that a driver can't
use much of the lib until it's converted. iavf is only the example, the
rest will eventually be converted soon on a per-driver basis. That is
when it gets really interesting. Stay tech.

libeth: add Rx buffer management
Add a couple intuitive helpers to hide Rx buffer implementation details
in the library and not multiplicate it between drivers. The settings are
sorta optimized for 100G+ NICs, but nothing really HW-specific here.
Use the new page_pool_dev_alloc() to dynamically switch between
split-page and full-page modes depending on MTU, page size, required
headroom etc. For example, on x86_64 with the default driver settings
each page is shared between 2 buffers. Turning on XDP (not in this
series) -> increasing headroom requirement pushes truesize out of 2048
boundary, leading to that each buffer starts getting a full page.
The "ceiling" limit is %PAGE_SIZE, as only order-0 pages are used to
avoid compound overhead. For the above architecture, this means maximum
linear frame size of 3712 w/o XDP.
Not that &libeth_buf_queue is not a complete queue/ring structure for
now, rather a shim, but eventually the libeth-enabled drivers will move
to it, with iavf being the first one.

net: intel: introduce {, Intel} Ethernet common library
Not a secret there's a ton of code duplication between two and more Intel
ethernet modules.
Before introducing new changes, which would need to be copied over again,
start decoupling the already existing duplicate functionality into a new
module, which will be shared between several Intel Ethernet drivers.
Add the lookup table which converts 8/10-bit hardware packet type into
a parsed bitfield structure for easy checking packet format parameters,
such as payload level, IP version, etc. This is currently used by i40e,
ice and iavf and it's all the same in all three drivers.
The only difference introduced in this implementation is that instead of
defining a 256 (or 1024 in case of ice) element array, add unlikely()
condition to limit the input to 154 (current maximum non-reserved packet
type). There's no reason to waste 600 (or even 3600) bytes only to not
hurt very unlikely exception packets.
The hash computation function now takes payload level directly as a
pkt_hash_type. There's a couple cases when non-IP ptypes are marked as
L3 payload and in the previous versions their hash level would be 2, not
3. But skb_set_hash() only sees difference between L4 and non-L4, thus
this won't change anything at all.
The module is behind the hidden Kconfig symbol, which the drivers will
select when needed. The exports are behind 'LIBIE' namespace to limit
the scope of the functions.
Not that non-HW-specific symbols will live in yet another module,
libeth. This is done to easily distinguish pretty generic code ready
for reusing by any other vendor and/or for moving the layer up from
the code useful in Intel's 1-100G drivers only.
