Merge tag 'net-next-6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"The most interesting thing is probably the networking structs
reorganization and a significant amount of changes is around
self-tests.

Core & protocols:

- Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up build
time warnings to safeguard against future header changes

This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections up
to 40%

- Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the memory
usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify bad PP users and
possible leaks

- Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set. This
lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having many active
connections to the same destination

- Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
structs

- Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to allow
arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF

- Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value to
128KB and namespecifying it

- Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
RX performances with some common configurations

- Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time

- Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
request the deletion of matching entries

- Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
datapath first

- Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
multicast-like behavior at the TC layer

- Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
classifiers (RSVP and tcindex)

- More data-race annotations

- Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets

- Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions

- Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
a sub-network using a specific PAN ID

- Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support

- Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type

BPF:

- Tons of verifier improvements:
- BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
test suite
- log improvements
- complete precision tracking support for register spills
- track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
This improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from
single digit to 50-60% for some programs
- support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
commonly requested annotations for a better developer
experience
- support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
like
- several fixes

- Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload

- Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y

- Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques

- Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs

- Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is
identified by its id

- Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value
field obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in
sched_ext

- Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
integration for the latter

- Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints

- Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project is
developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter)

Misc:

- Support for parellel TC self-tests execution

- Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage

- Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
undocumented features

- Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to avoid
random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent runs

- Add TCP-AO self-tests

- Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211

- Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec

- Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the tool
can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families for
which we have specs

- A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes

- Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool

Driver API:

- Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
in rust

- Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues
relationship

- Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control
application scale to thousands of instances

- Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for
each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host

- Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash

- ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD
platform

- Expose pin fractional frequency offset value over new DPLL generic
netlink attribute

- Convert older drivers to platform remove callback returning void

- Add support for PHY package MMD read/write

NC-SI 1.2 has now been published[1] and adds a new command for "Get MC
MAC Address". This is often used by BMCs to get the assigned MAC
address for the channel used by the BMC.

This change set has been tested on a Broadcomm 200G NIC with updated
firmware for NC-SI 1.2 and at least one other non-public NIC design.

net/ncsi: Fix netlink major/minor version numbers

The netlink interface for major and minor version numbers doesn't actually
return the major and minor version numbers.

It reports a u32 that contains the (major, minor, update, alpha1)
components as the major version number, and then alpha2 as the minor
version number.

For whatever reason, the u32 byte order was reversed (ntohl): maybe it was
assumed that the encoded value was a single big-endian u32, and alpha2 was
the minor version.

The correct way to get the supported NC-SI version from the network
controller is to parse the Get Version ID response as described in 8.4.44
of the NC-SI spec[1].

Get Version ID Response Packet Format

Bits
+--------+--------+--------+--------+
Bytes | 31..24 | 23..16 | 15..8 | 7..0 |
+-------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
| 0..15 | NC-SI Header |
+-------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
| 16..19| Response code | Reason code |
+-------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
|20..23 | Major | Minor | Update | Alpha1 |
+-------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
|24..27 | reserved | Alpha2 |
+-------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
| .... other stuff .... |

The major, minor, and update fields are all binary-coded decimal (BCD)
encoded [2]. The spec provides examples below the Get Version ID response
format in section 8.4.44.1, but for practical purposes, this is an example
from a live network card:

root@bmc:~# ncsi-util 0x15
NC-SI Command Response:
cmd: GET_VERSION_ID(0x15)
Response: COMMAND_COMPLETED(0x0000) Reason: NO_ERROR(0x0000)
Payload length = 40

20: 0xf1 0xf1 0xf0 0x00 <<<<<<<<< (major, minor, update, alpha1)
24: 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 <<<<<<<<< (_, _, _, alpha2)

28: 0x6d 0x6c 0x78 0x30
32: 0x2e 0x31 0x00 0x00
36: 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
40: 0x16 0x1d 0x07 0xd2
44: 0x10 0x1d 0x15 0xb3
48: 0x00 0x17 0x15 0xb3
52: 0x00 0x00 0x81 0x19

This should be parsed as "1.1.0".

"f" in the upper-nibble means to ignore it, contributing zero.

If both nibbles are "f", I think the whole field is supposed to be ignored.
Major and minor are "required", meaning they're not supposed to be "ff",
but the update field is "optional" so I think it can be ff. I think the
simplest thing to do is just set the major and minor to zero instead of
juggling some conditional logic or something.

bcd2bin() from "include/linux/bcd.h" seems to assume both nibbles are 0-9,
so I've provided a custom BCD decoding function.

Alpha1 and alpha2 are ISO/IEC 8859-1 encoded, which just means ASCII
characters as far as I can tell, although the full encoding table for
non-alphabetic characters is slightly different (I think).

I imagine the alpha fields are just supposed to be alphabetic characters,
but I haven't seen any network cards actually report a non-zero value for
either.

If people wrote software against this netlink behavior, and were parsing
the major and minor versions themselves from the u32, then this would
definitely break their code.

Merge branch 'genetlink-provide-struct-genl_info-to-dumps'

Jakub Kicinski says:

====================
genetlink: provide struct genl_info to dumps

One of the biggest (which is not to say only) annoyances with genetlink
handling today is that doit and dumpit need some of the same information,
but it is passed to them in completely different structs.

The implementations commonly end up writing a _fill() method which
populates a message and have to pass at least 6 parameters. 3 of which
are extracted manually from request info.

After a lot of umming and ahing I decided to populate struct genl_info
for dumps, without trying to factor out only the common parts.
This makes the adoption easiest.

In the future we may add a new version of dump which takes
struct genl_info *info as the second argument, instead of
struct netlink_callback *cb. For now developers have to call
genl_info_dump(cb) to get the info.

Typical genetlink families no longer get exposed to netlink protocol
internals like pid and seq numbers.

- correct the condition in ethtool code (patch 10)
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230810233845.2318049-1-kuba@kernel.org/
