        <title>1b98f357dadd6ea613a435fbaef1a5dd7b35fd21 - Merge tag &apos;net-next-6.16&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next</title>
        <link>http://kernelsources.org:8080/source/history/linux/drivers/net/ovpn/Makefile#1b98f357dadd6ea613a435fbaef1a5dd7b35fd21</link>
        <description>Merge tag &apos;net-next-6.16&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-nextPull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: &quot;Core:   - Implement the Device Memory TCP transmit path, allowing zero-copy     data transmission on top of TCP from e.g. GPU memory to the wire.   - Move all the IPv6 routing tables management outside the RTNL scope,     under its own lock and RCU. The route control path is now 3x times     faster.   - Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing again     the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane     scalability.   - Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded     abstraction layers and improving significantly the related     micro-benchmarks.   - Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10%     performance improvement in related stream tests.   - Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a     prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable()     on PREMPT_RT.   - Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds     verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages.  Netfilter:   - Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving     considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools still     use this interface.   - Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain and     flowtables.   - Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure.   - Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better     introspection.  BPF:   - BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops     programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs     using the &quot;tc qdisc&quot; command.   - Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues     WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets.  Protocols:   - Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default     upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the     single flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%.   - Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport     security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server.   - Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always     matches the nexthop device.   - Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS,     and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs.   - Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major     distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better     organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit     in the fast path.   - Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks.  Driver API:   - Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for     the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new     unsupported flags.   - Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs.   - Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for     dump operations targeting PHYs.  Tests and tooling:   - Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that     ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and     qdisc layer configuration.   - Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output     known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic     netlink output.   - Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage.   - Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP.  New hardware / drivers:   - OpenVPN virtual driver: offload OpenVPN data channels processing to     the kernel-space, increasing the data transfer throughput WRT the     user-space implementation.   - Renesas glue driver for the gigabit ethernet RZ/V2H(P) SoC.   - Broadcom asp-v3.0 ethernet driver.   - AMD Renoir ethernet device.   - ReakTek MT9888 2.5G ethernet PHY driver.   - Aeonsemi 10G C45 PHYs driver.  Drivers:   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:       - nVidia/Mellanox (mlx5):           - refactor the steering table handling to significantly             reduce the amount of memory used           - add support for complex matches in H/W flow steering           - improve flow streeing error handling           - convert to netdev instance locking       - Intel (100G, ice, igb, ixgbe, idpf):           - ice: add switchdev support for LLDP traffic over VF           - ixgbe: add firmware manipulation and regions devlink support           - igb: introduce support for frame transmission premption           - igb: adds persistent NAPI configuration           - idpf: introduce RDMA support           - idpf: add initial PTP support       - Meta (fbnic):           - extend hardware stats coverage           - add devlink dev flash support       - Broadcom (bnxt):           - add support for RX-side device memory TCP       - Wangxun (txgbe):           - implement support for udp tunnel offload           - complete PTP and SRIOV support for AML 25G/10G devices   - Ethernet NICs embedded and virtual:       - Google (gve):           - add device memory TCP TX support       - Amazon (ena):           - support persistent per-NAPI config       - Airoha:           - add H/W support for L2 traffic offload           - add per flow stats for flow offloading       - RealTek (rtl8211): add support for WoL magic packet       - Synopsys (stmmac):           - dwmac-socfpga 1000BaseX support           - add Loongson-2K3000 support           - introduce support for hardware-accelerated VLAN stripping       - Broadcom (bcmgenet):           - expose more H/W stats       - Freescale (enetc, dpaa2-eth):           - enetc: add MAC filter, VLAN filter RSS and loopback support           - dpaa2-eth: convert to H/W timestamping APIs       - vxlan: convert FDB table to rhashtable, for better scalabilty       - veth: apply qdisc backpressure on full ring to reduce TX drops   - Ethernet switches:       - Microchip (kzZ88x3): add ETS scheduler support   - Ethernet PHYs:       - RealTek (rtl8211):           - add support for WoL magic packet           - add support for PHY LEDs   - CAN:       - Adds RZ/G3E CANFD support to the rcar_canfd driver.       - Preparatory work for CAN-XL support.       - Add self-tests framework with support for CAN physical interfaces.   - WiFi:       - mac80211:           - scan improvements with multi-link operation (MLO)       - Qualcomm (ath12k):           - enable AHB support for IPQ5332           - add monitor interface support to QCN9274           - add multi-link operation support to WCN7850           - add 802.11d scan offload support to WCN7850           - monitor mode for WCN7850, better 6 GHz regulatory       - Qualcomm (ath11k):           - restore hibernation support       - MediaTek (mt76):           - WiFi-7 improvements           - implement support for mt7990       - Intel (iwlwifi):           - enhanced multi-link single-radio (EMLSR) support on 5 GHz links           - rework device configuration       - RealTek (rtw88):           - improve throughput for RTL8814AU       - RealTek (rtw89):           - add multi-link operation support           - STA/P2P concurrency improvements           - support different SAR configs by antenna   - Bluetooth:       - introduce HCI Driver protocol       - btintel_pcie: do not generate coredump for diagnostic events       - btusb: add HCI Drv commands for configuring altsetting       - btusb: add RTL8851BE device 0x0bda:0xb850       - btusb: add new VID/PID 13d3/3584 for MT7922       - btusb: add new VID/PID 13d3/3630 and 13d3/3613 for MT7925       - btnxpuart: implement host-wakeup feature&quot;* tag &apos;net-next-6.16&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1611 commits)  selftests/bpf: Fix bpf selftest build warning  selftests: netfilter: Fix skip of wildcard interface test  net: phy: mscc: Stop clearing the the UDPv4 checksum for L2 frames  net: openvswitch: Fix the dead loop of MPLS parse  calipso: Don&apos;t call calipso functions for AF_INET sk.  selftests/tc-testing: Add a test for HFSC eltree double add with reentrant enqueue behaviour on netem  net_sched: hfsc: Address reentrant enqueue adding class to eltree twice  octeontx2-pf: QOS: Refactor TC_HTB_LEAF_DEL_LAST callback  octeontx2-pf: QOS: Perform cache sync on send queue teardown  net: mana: Add support for Multi Vports on Bare metal  net: devmem: ncdevmem: remove unused variable  net: devmem: ksft: upgrade rx test to send 1K data  net: devmem: ksft: add 5 tuple FS support  net: devmem: ksft: add exit_wait to make rx test pass  net: devmem: ksft: add ipv4 support  net: devmem: preserve sockc_err  page_pool: fix ugly page_pool formatting  net: devmem: move list_add to net_devmem_bind_dmabuf.  selftests: netfilter: nft_queue.sh: include file transfer duration in log message  net: phy: mscc: Fix memory leak when using one step timestamping  ...

        <description>ovpn: implement TCP transportWith this change ovpn is allowed to communicate to peers also via TCP.Parsing of incoming messages is implemented through the strparser API.Note that ovpn redefines sk_prot and sk_socket-&gt;ops for the TCP socketused to communicate with the peer.For this reason it needs to access inet6_stream_ops, which is declaredas extern in the IPv6 module, but it is not fully exported.Therefore this patch is also adding EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(inet6_stream_ops)to net/ipv6/af_inet6.c.Cc: David Ahern &lt;dsahern@kernel.org&gt;Cc: Eric Dumazet &lt;edumazet@google.com&gt;Cc: Jakub Kicinski &lt;kuba@kernel.org&gt;Cc: Paolo Abeni &lt;pabeni@redhat.com&gt;Cc: Simon Horman &lt;horms@kernel.org&gt;Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli &lt;antonio@openvpn.net&gt;Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250415-b4-ovpn-v26-11-577f6097b964@openvpn.netReviewed-by: Sabrina Dubroca &lt;sd@queasysnail.net&gt;Tested-by: Oleksandr Natalenko &lt;oleksandr@natalenko.name&gt;Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni &lt;pabeni@redhat.com&gt;

        <description>ovpn: introduce the ovpn_socket objectThis specific structure is used in the ovpn kernel moduleto wrap and carry around a standard kernel socket.ovpn takes ownership of passed sockets and therefore an ovpnspecific objects is attached to them for status trackingpurposes.Initially only UDP support is introduced. TCP will come in a laterpatch.Cc: willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.comSigned-off-by: Antonio Quartulli &lt;antonio@openvpn.net&gt;Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250415-b4-ovpn-v26-6-577f6097b964@openvpn.netReviewed-by: Sabrina Dubroca &lt;sd@queasysnail.net&gt;Tested-by: Oleksandr Natalenko &lt;oleksandr@natalenko.name&gt;Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni &lt;pabeni@redhat.com&gt;

        <description>ovpn: introduce the ovpn_peer objectAn ovpn_peer object holds the whole status of a remote peer(regardless whether it is a server or a client).This includes status for crypto, tx/rx buffers, napi, etc.Only support for one peer is introduced (P2P mode).Multi peer support is introduced with a later patch.Along with the ovpn_peer, also the ovpn_bind object is introcuedas the two are strictly related.An ovpn_bind object wraps a sockaddr representing the localcoordinates being used to talk to a specific peer.Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli &lt;antonio@openvpn.net&gt;Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250415-b4-ovpn-v26-5-577f6097b964@openvpn.netReviewed-by: Sabrina Dubroca &lt;sd@queasysnail.net&gt;Tested-by: Oleksandr Natalenko &lt;oleksandr@natalenko.name&gt;Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni &lt;pabeni@redhat.com&gt;

        <title>9f23d943eb6b55990acc45ea1e130b20a44c76ce - net: introduce OpenVPN Data Channel Offload (ovpn)</title>
        <link>http://kernelsources.org:8080/source/history/linux/drivers/net/ovpn/Makefile#9f23d943eb6b55990acc45ea1e130b20a44c76ce</link>
        <description>net: introduce OpenVPN Data Channel Offload (ovpn)OpenVPN is a userspace software existing since around 2005 that allowsusers to create secure tunnels.So far OpenVPN has implemented all operations in userspace, whichimplies several back and forth between kernel and user land in order toprocess packets (encapsulate/decapsulate, encrypt/decrypt, rerouting..).With `ovpn` we intend to move the fast path (data channel) entirelyin kernel space and thus improve user measured throughput over thetunnel.`ovpn` is implemented as a simple virtual network device driver, thatcan be manipulated by means of the standard RTNL APIs. A device of kind`ovpn` allows only IPv4/6 traffic and can be of type:* P2P (peer-to-peer): any packet sent over the interface will be  encapsulated and transmitted to the other side (typical OpenVPN  client or peer-to-peer behaviour);* P2MP (point-to-multipoint): packets sent over the interface are  transmitted to peers based on existing routes (typical OpenVPN  server behaviour).After the interface has been created, OpenVPN in userspace canconfigure it using a new Netlink API. Specifically it is possibleto manage peers and their keys.The OpenVPN control channel is multiplexed over the same transportsocket by means of OP codes. Anything that is not DATA_V2 (OpenVPNOP code for data traffic) is sent to userspace and handled there.This way the `ovpn` codebase is kept as compact as possible whilefocusing on handling data traffic only (fast path).Any OpenVPN control feature (like cipher negotiation, TLS handshake,rekeying, etc.) is still fully handled by the userspace process.When userspace establishes a new connection with a peer, it firstperforms the handshake and then passes the socket to the `ovpn` kernelmodule, which takes ownership. From this moment on `ovpn` will handledata traffic for the new peer.When control packets are received on the link, they are forwarded touserspace through the same transport socket they were received on, asuserspace is still listening to them.Some events (like peer deletion) are sent to a Netlink multicast group.Although it wasn&apos;t easy to convince the community, `ovpn` implementsonly a limited number of the data-channel features supported by theuserspace program.Each feature that made it to `ovpn` was attentively vetted toavoid carrying too much legacy along with us (and to give a clear cut toold and probalby-not-so-useful features).Notably, only encryption using AEAD ciphers (specificallyChaCha20Poly1305 and AES-GCM) was implemented. Supporting any othercipher out there was not deemed useful.Both UDP and TCP sockets are supported.As explained above, in case of P2MP mode, OpenVPN will use the main systemrouting table to decide which packet goes to which peer. This impliesthat no routing table was re-implemented in the `ovpn` kernel module.This kernel module can be enabled by selecting the CONFIG_OVPN entryin the networking drivers section.NOTE: this first patch introduces the very basic framework only.Features are then added patch by patch, however, although each patchwill compile and possibly not break at runtime, only after havingapplied the full set it is expected to see the ovpn module fully working.Cc: steffen.klassert@secunet.comCc: antony.antony@secunet.comSigned-off-by: Antonio Quartulli &lt;antonio@openvpn.net&gt;Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250415-b4-ovpn-v26-1-577f6097b964@openvpn.netReviewed-by: Sabrina Dubroca &lt;sd@queasysnail.net&gt;Tested-by: Oleksandr Natalenko &lt;oleksandr@natalenko.name&gt;Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni &lt;pabeni@redhat.com&gt;
