Merge tag '5.17-net-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core
----

- Defer freeing TCP skbs to the BH handler, whenever possible, or at
least perform the freeing outside of the socket lock section to
decrease cross-CPU allocator work and improve latency.

- Add netdevice refcount tracking to locate sources of netdevice and
net namespace refcount leaks.

- Make Tx watchdog less intrusive - avoid pausing Tx and restarting
all queues from a single CPU removing latency spikes.

- Various small optimizations throughout the stack from Eric Dumazet.

- Make netdev->dev_addr[] constant, force modifications to go via
appropriate helpers to allow us to keep addresses in ordered data
structures.

- Replace unix_table_lock with per-hash locks, improving performance
of bind() calls.

- Extend skb drop tracepoint with a drop reason.

- Allow SO_MARK and SO_PRIORITY setsockopt under CAP_NET_RAW.

BPF
---

- New helpers:
- bpf_find_vma(), find and inspect VMAs for profiling use cases
- bpf_loop(), runtime-bounded loop helper trading some execution
time for much faster (if at all converging) verification
- bpf_strncmp(), improve performance, avoid compiler flakiness
- bpf_get_func_arg(), bpf_get_func_ret(), bpf_get_func_arg_cnt()
for tracing programs, all inlined by the verifier

- Support BPF relocations (CO-RE) in the kernel loader.

- Further the support for BTF_TYPE_TAG annotations.

- Allow access to local storage in sleepable helpers.

- Convert verifier argument types to a composable form with different
attributes which can be shared across types (ro, maybe-null).

- Prepare libbpf for upcoming v1.0 release by cleaning up APIs,
creating new, extensible ones where missing and deprecating those
to be removed.

Protocols
---------

- WiFi (mac80211/cfg80211):
- notify user space about long "come back in N" AP responses,
allow it to react to such temporary rejections

- Bluetooth:
- rework of HCI command execution serialization to use a common
queue and work struct, and improve handling errors reported in
the middle of a batch of commands

parsing pitfalls

- support fastclose option (quick shutdown of the full MPTCP
connection, similar to TCP RST in regular TCP)

- MCTP (Management Component Transport) over serial, as defined by
DMTF spec DSP0253 - "MCTP Serial Transport Binding".

Driver API
----------

- Support timestamping on bond interfaces in active/passive mode.

- Introduce generic phylink link mode validation for drivers which
don't have any quirks and where MAC capability bits fully express
what's supported. Allow PCS layer to participate in the validation.
Convert a number of drivers.

- Add support to set/get size of buffers on the Rx rings and size of
the tx copybreak buffer via ethtool.

- Support offloading TC actions as first-class citizens rather than
only as attributes of filters, improve sharing and device resource
utilization.

Merge branch 'Add bpf_loop helper'

Joanne Koong says:

====================

This patchset add a new helper, bpf_loop.

One of the complexities of using for loops in bpf programs is that the verifier
needs to ensure that in every possibility of the loop logic, the loop will always
terminate. As such, there is a limit on how many iterations the loop can do.

The bpf_loop helper moves the loop logic into the kernel and can thereby
guarantee that the loop will always terminate. The bpf_loop helper simplifies
a lot of the complexity the verifier needs to check, as well as removes the
constraint on the number of loops able to be run.

From the test results, we see that using bpf_loop in place
of the traditional for loop led to a decrease in verification time
and number of bpf instructions by ~99%. The benchmark results show
that as the number of iterations increases, the overhead per iteration
decreases.

The high-level overview of the patches -
Patch 1 - kernel-side + API changes for adding bpf_loop
Patch 2 - tests
Patch 3 - use bpf_loop in strobemeta + pyperf600 and measure verifier performance
Patch 4 - benchmark for throughput + latency of bpf_loop call

v3 -> v4:
~ Address nits: use usleep for triggering bpf programs, fix copyright style

v2 -> v3:
~ Rerun benchmarks on physical machine, update results
~ Propagate original error codes in the verifier

v1 -> v2:
~ Change helper name to bpf_loop (instead of bpf_for_each)
~ Set max nr_loops (~8 million loops) for bpf_loop call
~ Split tests + strobemeta/pyperf600 changes into two patches
~ Add new ops_report_final helper for outputting throughput and latency

>From this data, we can see that the latency per loop decreases as the
number of loops increases. On this particular machine, each loop had an
overhead of about ~4 ns, and we were able to run ~250 million loops
per second.
