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.

Merge branch 'net-introduce-tx-h-w-shaping-api'

Paolo Abeni says:

====================
net: introduce TX H/W shaping API

We have a plurality of shaping-related drivers API, but none flexible
enough to meet existing demand from vendors[1].

This series introduces new device APIs to configure in a flexible way
TX H/W shaping. The new functionalities are exposed via a newly
defined generic netlink interface and include introspection
capabilities. Some self-tests are included, on top of a dummy
netdevsim implementation. Finally a basic implementation for the iavf
driver is provided.

Some usage examples:

* Configure shaping on a given queue:

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/shaper.yaml \
--do set --json '{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"shaper": {"handle":
{"scope": "queue", "id":'$QUEUEID'},
"bw-max": 2000000}}'

* Container B/W sharing

The orchestration infrastructure wants to group the
container-related queues under a RR scheduling and limit the aggregate
bandwidth:

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/shaper.yaml \
--do group --json '{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"leaves": [
{"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID1'},
"weight": '$W1'},
{"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID2'},
"weight": '$W2'}],
{"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID3'},
"weight": '$W3'}],
"handle": {"scope":"node"},
"bw-max": 10000000}'
{'ifindex': $IFINDEX, 'handle': {'scope': 'node', 'id': 0}}

Q1 \
\
Q2 -- node 0 ------- netdev
/ (bw-max: 10M)
Q3 /

* Delegation

A containers wants to limit the aggregate B/W bandwidth of 2 of the 3
queues it owns - the starting configuration is the one from the
previous point:

SPEC=Documentation/netlink/specs/net_shaper.yaml
./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC \
--do group --json '{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"leaves": [
{"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID1'},
"weight": '$W1'},
{"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID2'},
"weight": '$W2'}],
"handle": {"scope": "node"},
"bw-max": 5000000 }'
{'ifindex': $IFINDEX, 'handle': {'scope': 'node', 'id': 1}}

Q1 -- node 1 --------\
/ (bw-max: 5M) \
Q2 / node 0 ------- netdev
/(bw-max: 10M)
Q3 ------------------/

In a group operation, when prior to the op itself, the leaves have
different parents, the user must specify the parent handle for the
group. I.e., starting from the previous config:

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC \
--do group --json '{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"leaves": [
{"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID1'},
"weight": '$W1'},
{"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID3'},
"weight": '$W3'}],
"handle": {"scope": "node"},
"bw-max": 3000000 }'
Netlink error: Invalid argument
nl_len = 96 (80) nl_flags = 0x300 nl_type = 2
error: -22
extack: {'msg': 'All the leaves shapers must have the same old parent'}

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC \
--do group --json '{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"leaves": [
{"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID1'},
"weight": '$W1'},
{"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID3'},
"weight": '$W3'}],
"handle": {"scope": "node"},
"parent": {"scope": "node", "id": 1},
"bw-max": 3000000 }
{'ifindex': $IFINDEX, 'handle': {'scope': 'node', 'id': 2}}

Q1 -- node 2 ---
/(bw-max:3M)\
Q3 / \
---- node 1 \
/ (bw-max: 5M)\
Q2 node 0 ------- netdev
(bw-max: 10M)

* Cleanup:

Still starting from config 1To delete a single queue shaper

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC --do delete --json \
'{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID3'}}'

Q1 -- node 2 ---
(bw-max:3M)\
\
---- node 1 \
/ (bw-max: 5M)\
Q2 node 0 ------- netdev
(bw-max: 10M)

Deleting a node shaper relinks all its leaves to the node's parent:

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC --do delete --json \
'{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"handle": {"scope": "node", "id":2}}'

Q1 ---\
\
node 1----- \
/ (bw-max: 5M)\
Q2----/ node 0 ------- netdev
(bw-max: 10M)

Deleting the last shaper under a node shaper deletes the node, too:

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC --do delete --json \
'{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID1'}}'
./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC --do delete --json \
'{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID2'}}'
./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC --do get --json \
'{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"handle": {"scope": "node", "id": 1}}'
Netlink error: No such file or directory
nl_len = 44 (28) nl_flags = 0x300 nl_type = 2
error: -2
extack: {'bad-attr': '.handle'}

Such delete recurses on parents that are left over with no leaves:

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC --do get --json \
'{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"handle": {"scope": "node", "id": 0}}'
Netlink error: No such file or directory
nl_len = 44 (28) nl_flags = 0x300 nl_type = 2
error: -2
extack: {'bad-attr': '.handle'}

Merge tag 'net-next-6.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"The zero-copy changes are relatively significant, but regression risk
should be contained. The feature needs to be used to cause trouble.

Also it feels like we got an order of magnitude more semi-automated
"refactoring" chaff than usual, I wonder if it's just us.

Core & protocols:

- Support Device Memory TCP, ability to zero-copy receive TCP
payloads to a DMABUF region of memory while packet headers land
separately in normal kernel buffers, and TCP processes then as
usual.

- The ability to read the PTP PHC (Physical Hardware Clock) alongside
MONOTONIC_RAW timestamps with PTP_SYS_OFFSET_EXTENDED. Previously
only CLOCK_REALTIME was supported.

- Allow matching on all bits of IP DSCP for routing decisions.
Previously we only supported on matching TOS bits in IPv4 which is
a narrower interpretation of the same header field.

- Increase the range of weights used for multi-path routing from
8 bits to 16 bits.

- Add support for IPv6 PIO p flag in the Prefix Information Option
per draft-ietf-6man-pio-pflag.

- IPv6 IOAM6 support for new tunsrc encap mode for better
performance.

- Detect destinations which blackhole MPTCP traffic and avoid
initiating MPTCP connections to them for a certain period of time,
1h by default.

- Improve IPsec control path performance by removing the inexact
policies list.

- AF_VSOCK: add support for SIOCOUTQ ioctl.

- Add enum for reasons TCP reset was sent for easier tracing.

- Add SMC ringbufs usage statistics.

Drivers:

- Handle netconsole setup failures more gracefully, don't fail
loading, retain the specified target as disabled.

- Extend bonding's IPsec offload pass thru capabilities (ESN, stats).

Filtering:

- Add TCP_BPF_SOCK_OPS_CB_FLAGS to bpf_*sockopt() to address the case
when long-lived sockets miss a chance to set additional callbacks
if a sockops program was not attached early in their lifetime.

- Support using BPF skb helpers in tracepoints.

- Conntrack Netlink: support CTA_FILTER for flush.

- Improve SCTP support in nfnetlink_queue.

- Improve performance of large nftables flush transactions.

Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

- selftests: support setting an "interpreter" for script files; make
it easy to run as separate cases tests where one "interpreter" is
fed various test descriptions (in our case packet sequences).

Driver API:

- Extend core and ethtool APIs to support many PHYs connected to a
single interface (PHY topologies).

- Extend cable diagnostics to specify whether Time Domain
Reflectometry (TDR) or Active Link Cable Diagnostic (ALCD) was
used.

- Add library for implementing MAC-PHY Ethernet drivers for SPI
devices compatible with Open Alliance 10BASE-T1x MAC-PHY Serial
Interface (TC6) standard.

- Add helpers to the PHY framework, for PHYs following the Open
Alliance standards:
- 1000BaseT1 link settings
- cable test and diagnostics

- Support listing / dumping all allocated RSS contexts.

- Add configuration for frequency Embedded SYNC in DPLL, which
magically embeds sync pulses into Ethernet signaling.

Device drivers:

- Ethernet high-speed NICs:
- Broadcom (bnxt):
- use better FW APIs for queue reset
- support QOS and TPID settings for the SR-IOV VLAN
- support dynamic MSI-X allocation
- Intel (100G, ice, idpf):
- ice: support PCIe subfunctions
- iavf: add support for TC U32 filters on VFs
- ice: support Embedded SYNC in DPLL
- nVidia/Mellanox (mlx5):
- support HW managed steering tables
- support PCIe PTM cross timestamping
- AMD/Pensando:
- ionic: use page_pool to increase Rx performance
- Cisco (enic):
- report per-queue statistics

- Ethernet virtual:
- Microsoft vNIC:
