Merge tag 'net-next-7.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core & protocols:
- Work on removing rtnl_lock protection throughout the stack continues. In this chapter: - don't use rtnl_lock for IPv6 multicast routing configuration - don't take rtnl_lock in ethtool for modern drivers - prepare Qdisc dump callbacks for rtnl_lock removal
- Support dumping just ifindex + name of all interfaces, under RCU. It's a common operation for Netlink CLI tools (when translating names to ifindexes) and previously required full rtnl_lock.
- Support dumping qdiscs and page pools for a specific netdev. Even tho user space wants a dump of all netdevs, most of the time, the OOO programming model results in repeating the dump for each netdev. Which, in absence of a cache, leads to a O(n^2) behavior.
- Flush nexthops once on multi-nexthop removal (e.g. when device goes down), another O(n^2) -> O(n) improvement.
- Rehash locally generated traffic to a different nexthop on retransmit timeout.
- Honor oif when choosing nexthop for locally generated IPv6 traffic.
- Convert TCP Auth Option to crypto library, and drop non-RFC algos.
- Increase subflow limits in MPTCP to 64 and endpoint limit to 256.
- Support MPTCP signaling of IPv6 address + port (ADD_ADDR). We need to selectively skip reporting of the standard TCP Timestamp option, because they won't fit into the header space together (12 + 30 > 40).
- Support using bridge neighbor suppression, Duplicate Address Detection, Gratuitous ARP and unsolicited NA forwarding - in EVPN deployments, e.g. VXLAN fabrics (IPv4 and IPv6).
- Improve link state reporting for upper netdevs (e.g. macvlan) over tunnel devices (again, mostly for EVPN deployments).
- Support binding GENEVE tunnels to a local address.
- Speed up UDP tunnel destruction (remove one synchronize_rcu()).
- Support exponential field encoding in multicast (IGMPv3 and MLDv2).
- Support attaching PSP crypto offload to containers (veth, netkit).
- Add a new IPSec Netlink message XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE_STATE that allows migrating individual IPsec SAs independently of their policies.
The existing XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE is tightly coupled to policy+SA migration, lacks SPI for unique SA identification, and cannot express reqid changes or migrate Transport mode selectors.
The new interface identifies the SA via SPI and mark, supports reqid changes, address family changes, encap removal, and uses an atomic create+install flow under x->lock to prevent SN/IV reuse during AEAD SA migration.
- Implement GRO/GSO support for PPPoE.
- Convert sockopt callbacks in a number of protocols to iov_iter.
Cross-tree stuff:
- Remove support for Crypto TFM cloning (unblocked after the TCP Auth Option rework). This feature regressed performance for all crypto API users, since it changed crypto transformation objects into reference-counted objects.
- Add FCrypt-PCBC implementation to rxrpc and remove it from the global crypto API as obsolete and insecure.
Wireless:
- Major rework of station bandwidth handling, fixing issues with lower capability than AP.
- Cleanups for EMLSR spec issues (drafts differed).
- More Neighbor Awareness Networking (Wi-Fi Aware) work (multicast, schedule improvements, multi-station etc.)
- Some Ultra High Reliability (UHR) / IEEE 802.11bn (D1.4) work (e.g. non-primary channel access, UHR DBE support).
- Fine Timing Measurement ranging (i.e. distance measurement) APIs.
Netfilter:
- Use per-rule hash initval in nf_conncount. This avoids unnecessary lock contention with short keys (e.g. conntrack zones) in different namespaces.
- Various safety improvements, both in packet parsing and object lifetimes. Notably add refcounts to conntrack timeout policy.
Deletions:
- Remove TLS + sockmap integration. TLS wants to pin user pages to avoid a copy, and sockmap wants to write to the input stream. More work on this integration is clearly needed, and we can't find any users (original author admitted that they never deployed it).
- Remove support for TLS offload with TCP Offload Engine (the far more common opportunistic offload is retained). The locking looks unfixable (driver sleeps under TCP spin locks) and people from the vendor that added this are AWOL.
- Remove more ATM code, trying to leave behind only what PPPoATM needs, AAL5 and br2684 with permanent circuits.
- Remove AppleTalk. Let it join hamradio in our out of tree protocol graveyard, I mean, repository.
- Disable 32-bit x_tables compatibility (32bit binaries on 64bit kernel) interface in user namespaces. To be deleted completely, soon.
- Remove 5/10 MHz support from cfg80211/mac80211.
Drivers:
- Software: - Support DEVMEM/DMABUF Tx over NETMEM_TX_NO_DMA devices (netkit) - bonding: add knob to strictly follow 802.3ad for link state
- New drivers: - Alibaba Elastic Ethernet Adaptor (cloud vNIC). - NXP NETC switch within i.MX94.
- DPLL: - Add operational state to pins (implement in zl3073x). - Add generic DPLL type, for daisy-chaining DPLLs (implement in ice).
- Ethernet high-speed NICs: - Huawei (hinic3): - enhance tc flow offload support with queue selection, tunnels - nVidia/Mellanox: - avoid over-copying payload to the skb's linear part (up to 60% win for LRO on slow CPUs like ARM64 V2) - expose more per-queue stats over the standard API - support additional, unprivileged PFs in the DPU configuration - support Socket Direct (multi-PF) with switchdev offloads - add a pool / frag allocator for DMA mapped buffers for control objects, save memory on systems with 64kB page size - take advantage of the ability to dynamically change RSS table size, even when table is configured by the user - increase the max RSS table size for even traffic distribution

Merge tag 'nf-next-26-05-25' of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netfilter/nf-next
Florian Westphal says:
==================== netfilter: updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes and small enhancements:
1) Disable 32-bit x_tables compatibility (32bit binaries on 64bit kernel) interface in user namespaces. This is 'last warning' before this is removed for good.
2) Add a configuration toggle for netfilter GCOV profiling. Provide dedicated toggles for ipset and ipvs.
3) Remove modular support for nfnetlink and restrict it to built-in only. From Pablo Neira Ayuso.
4) Use per-rule hash initval in nf_conncount. This avoids unecessary lock contention with short keys (e.g. conntrack zones) in different namespaces.
5) Use nf_ct_exp_net() in ctnetlink expectation dumps. From Pratham Gupta.
6) Remove a dead conditional in nft_set_rbtree.
7) Fix conntrack helper policy updates to apply per-class values correctly. From David Carlier.
8) Fix an off-by-one OOB read in nf_conntrack_irc:parse_dcc(). Use strict less-than comparison in the newline search loop to respect the exclusive-end pointer convention. From Muhammad Bilal.
9) Fix typos in nf_conntrack_proto_tcp comments. From Avinash Duduskar.
10) Restore performance optimization in nft_set_pipapo_avx2 by passing the next map index. Refactor lookup logic for clarity and add a DEBUG_NET check to document this.
11) Avoid (harmless) u16 overflow in nf_conntrack_ftp when parsing FTP PORT and EPRT commands. Ignore commands where single octet exceeds 255. From Giuseppe Caruso.
Patch 12, which removes incorrect (and obviously unused) code from nft_byteorder was kept back to avoid a net -> net-next merge conflict.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "The sprinkling of SPI drivers is because we added a new one
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.

Merge branch 'net-bridge-multiple-spanning-trees'
Tobias Waldekranz says:
==================== net: bridge: Multiple Spanning Trees
The bridge has had per-VLAN STP support for a while now, since:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20200124114022.10883-1-nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com/
The current implementation has some problems:
- The mapping from VLAN to STP state is fixed as 1:1, i.e. each VLAN is managed independently. This is awkward from an MSTP (802.1Q-2018, Clause 13.5) point of view, where the model is that multiple VLANs are grouped into MST instances.
Because of the way that the standard is written, presumably, this is also reflected in hardware implementations. It is not uncommon for a switch to support the full 4k range of VIDs, but that the pool of MST instances is much smaller. Some examples:
Marvell LinkStreet (mv88e6xxx): 4k VLANs, but only 64 MSTIs Marvell Prestera: 4k VLANs, but only 128 MSTIs Microchip SparX-5i: 4k VLANs, but only 128 MSTIs
- By default, the feature is enabled, and there is no way to disable it. This makes it hard to add offloading in a backwards compatible way, since any underlying switchdevs have no way to refuse the function if the hardware does not support it
- The port-global STP state has precedence over per-VLAN states. In MSTP, as far as I understand it, all VLANs will use the common spanning tree (CST) by default - through traffic engineering you can then optimize your network to group subsets of VLANs to use different trees (MSTI). To my understanding, the way this is typically managed in silicon is roughly:
Incoming packet: .----.----.--------------.----.------------- | DA | SA | 802.1Q VID=X | ET | Payload ... '----'----'--------------'----'------------- | '->|\ .----------------------------. | +--> | VID | Members | ... | MSTI | PVID -->|/ |-----|---------|-----|------| | 1 | 0001001 | ... | 0 | | 2 | 0001010 | ... | 10 | | 3 | 0001100 | ... | 10 | '----------------------------' | .-----------------------------' | .------------------------. '->| MSTI | Fwding | Lrning | |------|--------|--------| | 0 | 111110 | 111110 | | 10 | 110111 | 110111 | '------------------------'
What this is trying to show is that the STP state (whether MSTP is used, or ye olde STP) is always accessed via the VLAN table. If STP is running, all MSTI pointers in that table will reference the same index in the STP stable - if MSTP is running, some VLANs may point to other trees (like in this example).
The fact that in the Linux bridge, the global state (think: index 0 in most hardware implementations) is supposed to override the per-VLAN state, is very awkward to offload. In effect, this means that when the global state changes to blocking, drivers will have to iterate over all MSTIs in use, and alter them all to match. This also means that you have to cache whether the hardware state is currently tracking the global state or the per-VLAN state. In the first case, you also have to cache the per-VLAN state so that you can restore it if the global state transitions back to forwarding.
This series adds a new mst_enable bridge setting (as suggested by Nik) that can only be changed when no VLANs are configured on the bridge. Enabling this mode has the following effect:
- The port-global STP state is used to represent the CST (Common Spanning Tree) (1/15)
- Ingress STP filtering is deferred until the frame's VLAN has been resolved (1/15)
- The preexisting per-VLAN states can no longer be controlled directly (1/15). They are instead placed under the MST module's control, which is managed using a new netlink interface (described in 3/15)
- VLANs can br mapped to MSTIs in an arbitrary M:N fashion, using a new global VLAN option (2/15)
Switchdev notifications are added so that a driver can track: - MST enabled state - VID to MSTI mappings - MST port states
An offloading implementation is this provided for mv88e6xxx. ====================

net: bridge: mst: Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) mode
Allow the user to switch from the current per-VLAN STP mode to an MST mode.
Up to this point, per-VLAN STP states where always isolated from each other. This is in contrast to the MSTP standard (802.1Q-2018, Clause 13.5), where VLANs are grouped into MST instances (MSTIs), and the state is managed on a per-MSTI level, rather that at the per-VLAN level.
Perhaps due to the prevalence of the standard, many switching ASICs are built after the same model. Therefore, add a corresponding MST mode to the bridge, which we can later add offloading support for in a straight-forward way.
For now, all VLANs are fixed to MSTI 0, also called the Common Spanning Tree (CST). That is, all VLANs will follow the port-global state.
Upcoming changes will make this actually useful by allowing VLANs to be mapped to arbitrary MSTIs and allow individual MSTI states to be changed.
