Merge tag 'net-next-7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core & protocols:
- Support HW queue leasing, allowing containers to be granted access to HW queues for zero-copy operations and AF_XDP
- Number of code moves to help the compiler with inlining. Avoid output arguments for returning drop reason where possible
- Rework drop handling within qdiscs to include more metadata about the reason and dropping qdisc in the tracepoints
- Remove the rtnl_lock use from IP Multicast Routing
- Pack size information into the Rx Flow Steering table pointer itself. This allows making the table itself a flat array of u32s, thus making the table allocation size a power of two
- Report TCP delayed ack timer information via socket diag
- Add ip_local_port_step_width sysctl to allow distributing the randomly selected ports more evenly throughout the allowed space
- Add support for per-route tunsrc in IPv6 segment routing
- Start work of switching sockopt handling to iov_iter
- Improve dynamic recvbuf sizing in MPTCP, limit burstiness and avoid buffer size drifting up
- Support MSG_EOR in MPTCP
- Add stp_mode attribute to the bridge driver for STP mode selection. This addresses concerns about call_usermodehelper() usage
- Remove UDP-Lite support (as announced in 2023)
- Remove support for building IPv6 as a module. Remove the now unnecessary function calling indirection
Cross-tree stuff:
- Move Michael MIC code from generic crypto into wireless, it's considered insecure but some WiFi networks still need it
Netfilter:
- Switch nft_fib_ipv6 module to no longer need temporary dst_entry object allocations by using fib6_lookup() + RCU.
Florian W reports this gets us ~13% higher packet rate
- Convert IPVS's global __ip_vs_mutex to per-net service_mutex and switch the service tables to be per-net. Convert some code that walks the service lists to use RCU instead of the service_mutex
- Add more opinionated input validation to lower security exposure
- Make IPVS hash tables to be per-netns and resizable
Wireless:
- Finished assoc frame encryption/EPPKE/802.1X-over-auth
- Radar detection improvements
- Add 6 GHz incumbent signal detection APIs
- Multi-link support for FILS, probe response templates and client probing
- New APIs and mac80211 support for NAN (Neighbor Aware Networking, aka Wi-Fi Aware) so less work must be in firmware
Driver API:
- Add numerical ID for devlink instances (to avoid having to create fake bus/device pairs just to have an ID). Support shared devlink instances which span multiple PFs
- Add standard counters for reporting pause storm events (implement in mlx5 and fbnic)
- Add configuration API for completion writeback buffering (implement in mana)
- Support driver-initiated change of RSS context sizes
- Support DPLL monitoring input frequency (implement in zl3073x)
- Support per-port resources in devlink (implement in mlx5)
Misc:
- Expand the YAML spec for Netfilter
Drivers
- Software: - macvlan: support multicast rx for bridge ports with shared source MAC address - team: decouple receive and transmit enablement for IEEE 802.3ad LACP "independent control"
- Ethernet high-speed NICs: - nVidia/Mellanox: - support high order pages in zero-copy mode (for payload coalescing) - support multiple packets in a page (for systems with 64kB pages) - Broadcom 25-400GE (bnxt): - implement XDP RSS hash metadata extraction - add software fallback for UDP GSO, lowering the IOMMU cost - Broadcom 800GE (bnge): - add link status and configuration handling - add various HW and SW statistics - Marvell/Cavium: - NPC HW block support for cn20k - Huawei (hinic3): - add mailbox / control queue - add rx VLAN offload - add driver info and link management
- Ethernet NICs: - Marvell/Aquantia: - support reading SFP module info on some AQC100 cards - Realtek PCI (r8169): - add support for RTL8125cp - Realtek USB (r8152): - support for the RTL8157 5Gbit chip - add 2500baseT EEE status/configuration support
- Ethernet NICs embedded and off-the-shelf IP: - Synopsys (stmmac): - cleanup and reorganize SerDes handling and PCS support - cleanup descriptor handling and per-platform data - cleanup and consolidate MDIO defines and handling - shrink driver memory use for internal structures - improve Tx IRQ coalescing - improve TCP segmentation handling - add support for Spacemit K3 - Cadence (macb): - support PHYs that have inband autoneg disabled with GEM - support IEEE 802.3az EEE - rework usrio capabilities and handling - AMD (xgbe): - improve power management for S0i3 - improve TX resilience for link-down handling

Merge branch 'ipmr-no-rtnl-for-rtnl_family_ipmr-rtnetlink'
Kuniyuki Iwashima says:
==================== ipmr: No RTNL for RTNL_FAMILY_IPMR rtnetlink.
This series removes RTNL from ipmr rtnetlink handlers.
After this series, there are a few RTNL left in net/ipv4/ipmr.c and such users will be converted to per-netns RTNL in another series.
Patch 1 adds a selftest to exercise most? of the RTNL paths in net/ipv4/ipmr.c
Patch 2 - 6 converts RTM_GETLINK / RTM_GETROUTE handlers to RCU.
Patch 7 - 9 converts ->exit_batch() to ->exit_rtnl() to save one RTNL in cleanup_net().
Patch 10 - 11 removes unnecessary RTNL during setup_net() failure.
Patch 12 is a random cleanup.
Patch 13 - 15 drops RTNL for RTM_NEWROUTE and RTM_DELROUTE. ====================

Merge tag 'net-next-6.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: "Core & protocols:
- Improve drop account scalability on NUMA hosts for RAW and UDP sockets and the backlog, almost doubling the Pps capacity under DoS
- Optimize the UDP RX performance under stress, reducing contention, revisiting the binary layout of the involved data structs and implementing NUMA-aware locking. This improves UDP RX performance by an additional 50%, even more under extreme conditions
- Add support for PSP encryption of TCP connections; this mechanism has some similarities with IPsec and TLS, but offers superior HW offloads capabilities
- Ongoing work to support Accurate ECN for TCP. AccECN allows more than one congestion notification signal per RTT and is a building block for Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S)
- Reorganize the TCP socket binary layout for data locality, reducing the number of touched cachelines in the fastpath
- Refactor skb deferral free to better scale on large multi-NUMA hosts, this improves TCP and UDP RX performances significantly on such HW
- Increase the default socket memory buffer limits from 256K to 4M to better fit modern link speeds
- Improve handling of setups with a large number of nexthop, making dump operating scaling linearly and avoiding unneeded synchronize_rcu() on delete
- Improve bridge handling of VLAN FDB, storing a single entry per bridge instead of one entry per port; this makes the dump order of magnitude faster on large switches
- Restore IP ID correctly for encapsulated packets at GSO segmentation time, allowing GRO to merge packets in more scenarios
- Improve netfilter matching performance on large sets
- Improve MPTCP receive path performance by leveraging recently introduced core infrastructure (skb deferral free) and adopting recent TCP autotuning changes
- Allow bridges to redirect to a backup port when the bridge port is administratively down
- Introduce MPTCP 'laminar' endpoint that con be used only once per connection and simplify common MPTCP setups
- Add RCU safety to dst->dev, closing a lot of possible races
- A significant crypto library API for SCTP, MPTCP and IPv6 SR, reducing code duplication
- Supports pulling data from an skb frag into the linear area of an XDP buffer
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:
- Generate netlink documentation from YAML using an integrated YAML parser
Driver API:
- Support using IPv6 Flow Label in Rx hash computation and RSS queue selection
- Introduce API for fetching the DMA device for a given queue, allowing TCP zerocopy RX on more H/W setups
- Make XDP helpers compatible with unreadable memory, allowing more easily building DevMem-enabled drivers with a unified XDP/skbs datapath
- Add a new dedicated ethtool callback enabling drivers to provide the number of RX rings directly, improving efficiency and clarity in RX ring queries and RSS configuration
- Introduce a burst period for the health reporter, allowing better handling of multiple errors due to the same root cause
- Support for DPLL phase offset exponential moving average, controlling the average smoothing factor
Device drivers:
- Add a new Huawei driver for 3rd gen NIC (hinic3)
- Add a new SpacemiT driver for K1 ethernet MAC
- Add a generic abstraction for shared memory communication devices (dibps)
- Ethernet high-speed NICs: - nVidia/Mellanox: - Use multiple per-queue doorbell, to avoid MMIO contention issues - support adjacent functions, allowing them to delegate their SR-IOV VFs to sibling PFs - support RSS for IPSec offload - support exposing raw cycle counters in PTP and mlx5 - support for disabling host PFs. - Intel (100G, ice, idpf): - ice: support for SRIOV VFs over an Active-Active link aggregate - ice: support for firmware logging via debugfs - ice: support for Earliest TxTime First (ETF) hardware offload - idpf: support basic XDP functionalities and XSk - Broadcom (bnxt): - support Hyper-V VF ID - dynamic SRIOV resource allocations for RoCE - Meta (fbnic): - support queue API, zero-copy Rx and Tx - support basic XDP functionalities - devlink health support for FW crashes and OTP mem corruptions - expand hardware stats coverage to FEC, PHY, and Pause - Wangxun: - support ethtool coalesce options - support for multiple RSS contexts
- Ethernet virtual: - Macsec: - replace custom netlink attribute checks with policy-level checks - Bonding: - support aggregator selection based on port priority - Microsoft vNIC: - use page pool fragments for RX buffers instead of full pages to improve memory efficiency
- Ethernet NICs consumer, and embedded: - Qualcomm: support Ethernet function for IPQ9574 SoC - Airoha: implement wlan offloading via NPU - Freescale - enetc: add NETC timer PTP driver and add PTP support - fec: enable the Jumbo frame support for i.MX8QM - Renesas (R-Car S4): - support HW offloading for layer 2 switching - support for RZ/{T2H, N2H} SoCs - Cadence (macb): support TAPRIO traffic scheduling - TI: - support for Gigabit ICSS ethernet SoC (icssm-prueth) - Synopsys (stmmac): a lot of cleanups

Merge branch 'bridge-allow-keeping-local-fdb-entries-only-on-vlan-0'
Petr Machata says:
==================== bridge: Allow keeping local FDB entries only on VLAN 0
The bridge FDB contains one local entry per port per VLAN, for the MAC of the port in question, and likewise for the bridge itself. This allows bridge to locally receive and punt "up" any packets whose destination MAC address matches that of one of the bridge interfaces or of the bridge itself.
The number of these local "service" FDB entries grows linearly with number of bridge-global VLAN memberships, but that in turn will tend to grow quadratically with number of ports and per-port VLAN memberships. While that does not cause issues during forwarding lookups, it does make dumps impractically slow.
As an example, with 100 interfaces, each on 4K VLANs, a full dump of FDB that just contains these 400K local entries, takes 6.5s. That's _without_ considering iproute2 formatting overhead, this is just how long it takes to walk the FDB (repeatedly), serialize it into netlink messages, and parse the messages back in userspace.
This is to illustrate that with growing number of ports and VLANs, the time required to dump this repetitive information blows up. Arguably 4K VLANs per interface is not a very realistic configuration, but then modern switches can instead have several hundred interfaces, and we have fielded requests for >1K VLAN memberships per port among customers.
FDB entries are currently all kept on a single linked list, and then dumping uses this linked list to walk all entries and dump them in order. When the message buffer is full, the iteration is cut short, and later restarted. Of course, to restart the iteration, it's first necessary to walk the already-dumped front part of the list before starting dumping again. So one possibility is to organize the FDB entries in different structure more amenable to walk restarts.
One option is to walk directly the hash table. The advantage is that no auxiliary structure needs to be introduced. With a rough sketch of this approach, the above scenario gets dumped in not quite 3 s, saving over 50 % of time. However hash table iteration requires maintaining an active cursor that must be collected when the dump is aborted. It looks like that would require changes in the NDO protocol to allow to run this cleanup. Moreover, on hash table resize the iteration is simply restarted. FDB dumps are currently not guaranteed to correspond to any one particular state: entries can be missed, or be duplicated. But with hash table iteration we would get that plus the much less graceful resize behavior, where swaths of FDB are duplicated.
Another option is to maintain the FDB entries in a red-black tree. We have a PoC of this approach on hand, and the above scenario is dumped in about 2.5 s. Still not as snappy as we'd like it, but better than the hash table. However the savings come at the expense of a more expensive insertion, and require locking during dumps, which blocks insertion.
The upside of these approaches is that they provide benefits whatever the FDB contents. But it does not seem like either of these is workable. However we intend to clean up the RB tree PoC and present it for consideration later on in case the trade-offs are considered acceptable.
Yet another option might be to use in-kernel FDB filtering, and to filter the local entries when dumping. Unfortunately, this does not help all that much either, because the linked-list walk still needs to happen. Also, with the obvious filtering interface built around ndm_flags / ndm_state filtering, one can't just exclude pure local entries in one query. One needs to dump all non-local entries first, and then to get permanent entries in another run filter local & added_by_user. I.e. one needs to pay the iteration overhead twice, and then integrate the result in userspace. To get significant savings, one would need a very specific knob like "dump, but skip/only include local entries". But if we are adding a local-specific knobs, maybe let's have an option to just not duplicate them in the first place.
All this FDB duplication is there merely to make things snappy during forwarding. But high-radix switches with thousands of VLANs typically do not process much traffic in the SW datapath at all, but rather offload vast majority of it. So we could exchange some of the runtime performance for a neater FDB.
To that end, in this patchset, introduce a new bridge option, BR_BOOLOPT_FDB_LOCAL_VLAN_0, which when enabled, has local FDB entries installed only on VLAN 0, instead of duplicating them across all VLANs. Then to maintain the local termination behavior, on FDB miss, the bridge does a second lookup on VLAN 0.
Enabling this option changes the bridge behavior in expected ways. Since the entries are only kept on VLAN 0, FDB get, flush and dump will not perceive them on non-0 VLANs. And deleting the VLAN 0 entry affects forwarding on all VLANs.
This patchset is loosely based on a privately circulated patch by Nikolay Aleksandrov.
The patchset progresses as follows:
- Patch #1 introduces a bridge option to enable the above feature. Then patches #2 to #5 gradually patch the bridge to do the right thing when the option is enabled. Finally patch #6 adds the UAPI knob and the code for when the feature is enabled or disabled. - Patches #7, #8 and #9 contain fixes and improvements to selftest libraries - Patch #10 contains a new selftest ====================
