Merge tag 'net-next-6.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"The most significant set of changes is the per netns RTNL. The new
behavior is disabled by default, regression risk should be contained.

Notably the new config knob PTP_1588_CLOCK_VMCLOCK will inherit its
default value from PTP_1588_CLOCK_KVM, as the first is intended to be
a more reliable replacement for the latter.

Core:

- Started a very large, in-progress, effort to make the RTNL lock
scope per network-namespace, thus reducing the lock contention
significantly in the containerized use-case, comprising:
- RCU-ified some relevant slices of the FIB control path
- introduce basic per netns locking helpers
- namespacified the IPv4 address hash table
- remove rtnl_register{,_module}() in favour of
rtnl_register_many()
- refactor rtnl_{new,del,set}link() moving as much validation as
possible out of RTNL lock
- convert all phonet doit() and dumpit() handlers to RCU
- convert IPv4 addresses manipulation to per-netns RTNL
- convert virtual interface creation to per-netns RTNL
the per-netns lock infrastructure is guarded by the
CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL knob, disabled by default ad interim.

- Introduce NAPI suspension, to efficiently switching between busy
polling (NAPI processing suspended) and normal processing.

- Migrate the IPv4 routing input, output and control path from direct
ToS usage to DSCP macros. This is a work in progress to make ECN
handling consistent and reliable.

- Add drop reasons support to the IPv4 rotue input path, allowing
better introspection in case of packets drop.

- Make FIB seqnum lockless, dropping RTNL protection for read access.

- Make inet{,v6} addresses hashing less predicable.

- Allow providing timestamp OPT_ID via cmsg, to correlate TX packets
and timestamps

Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

- Add small file operations for debugfs, to reduce the struct ops
size.

- Refactoring and optimization for the implementation of page_frag
API, This is a preparatory work to consolidate the page_frag
implementation.

Netfilter:

- Optimize set element transactions to reduce memory consumption

- Extended netlink error reporting for attribute parser failure.

- Make legacy xtables configs user selectable, giving users the
option to configure iptables without enabling any other config.

- Address a lot of false-positive RCU issues, pointed by recent CI
improvements.

BPF:

- Put xsk sockets on a struct diet and add various cleanups. Overall,
this helps to bump performance by 12% for some workloads.

- Extend BPF selftests to increase coverage of XDP features in
combination with BPF cpumap.

- Optimize and homogenize bpf_csum_diff helper for all archs and also
add a batch of new BPF selftests for it.

- Extend netkit with an option to delegate skb->{mark,priority}
scrubbing to its BPF program.

- Make the bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper available also to tc(x) BPF
programs.

Protocols:

- Introduces 4-tuple hash for connected udp sockets, speeding-up
significantly connected sockets lookup.

- Add a fastpath for some TCP timers that usually expires after
close, the socket lock contention.

- Add inbound and outbound xfrm state caches to speed up state
lookups.

- Avoid sending MPTCP advertisements on stale subflows, reducing
risks on loosing them.

- Make neighbours table flushing more scalable, maintaining per
device neigh lists.

Driver API:

- Introduce a unified interface to configure transmission H/W
shaping, and expose it to user-space via generic-netlink.

- Add support for per-NAPI config via netlink. This makes napi
configuration persistent across queues removal and re-creation.
Requires driver updates, currently supported drivers are:
nVidia/Mellanox mlx4 and mlx5, Broadcom brcm and Intel ice.

- Add ethtool support for writing SFP / PHY firmware blocks.

- Track RSS context allocation from ethtool core.

- Implement support for mirroring to DSA CPU port, via TC mirror
offload.

- Consolidate FDB updates notification, to avoid duplicates on
device-specific entries.

- Expose DPLL clock quality level to the user-space.

- Support master-slave PHY config via device tree.

Tests and tooling:

- forwarding: introduce deferred commands, to simplify the cleanup
phase

Drivers:

- Updated several drivers - Amazon vNic, Google vNic, Microsoft vNic,
Intel e1000e and Broadcom Tigon3 - to use netdev-genl to link the
IRQs and queues to NAPI IDs, allowing busy polling and better
introspection.

dim: pass dim_sample to net_dim() by reference

net_dim() is currently passed a struct dim_sample argument by value.
struct dim_sample is 24 bytes. Since this is greater 16 bytes, x86-64
passes it on the stack. All callers have already initialized dim_sample
on the stack, so passing it by value requires pushing a duplicated copy
to the stack. Either witing to the stack and immediately reading it, or
perhaps dereferencing addresses relative to the stack pointer in a chain
of push instructions, seems to perform quite poorly.

In a heavy TCP workload, mlx5e_handle_rx_dim() consumes 3% of CPU time,
94% of which is attributed to the first push instruction to copy
dim_sample on the stack for the call to net_dim():
// Call ktime_get()
0.26 |4ead2: call 4ead7 <mlx5e_handle_rx_dim+0x47>
// Pass the address of struct dim in %rdi
|4ead7: lea 0x3d0(%rbx),%rdi
// Set dim_sample.pkt_ctr
|4eade: mov %r13d,0x8(%rsp)
// Set dim_sample.byte_ctr
|4eae3: mov %r12d,0xc(%rsp)
// Set dim_sample.event_ctr
0.15 |4eae8: mov %bp,0x10(%rsp)
// Duplicate dim_sample on the stack
94.16 |4eaed: push 0x10(%rsp)
2.79 |4eaf1: push 0x10(%rsp)
0.07 |4eaf5: push %rax
// Call net_dim()
0.21 |4eaf6: call 4eafb <mlx5e_handle_rx_dim+0x6b>

To allow the caller to reuse the struct dim_sample already on the stack,
pass the struct dim_sample by reference to net_dim().

Merge tag 'net-next-6.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Not much excitement - a handful of large patchsets (devmem among them)
did not make it in time.

Core & protocols:

- Use local_lock in addition to local_bh_disable() to protect per-CPU
resources in networking, a step closer for local_bh_disable() not
to act as a big lock on PREEMPT_RT

- Use flex array for netdevice priv area, ensure its cache alignment

- Add a sysctl knob to allow user to specify a default rto_min at
socket init time. Bit of a big hammer but multiple companies were
independently carrying such patch downstream so clearly it's useful

- Support scheduling transmission of packets based on CLOCK_TAI

- Un-pin TCP TIMEWAIT timer to avoid it firing on CPUs later cordoned
off using cpusets

- Support multiple L2TPv3 UDP tunnels using the same 5-tuple address

- Allow configuration of multipath hash seed, to both allow
synchronizing hashing of two routers, and preventing partial
accidental sync

- Improve TCP compliance with RFC 9293 for simultaneous connect()

- Support sending NAT keepalives in IPsec ESP in UDP states.
Userspace IKE daemon had to do this before, but the kernel can
better keep track of it

- Support sending supervision HSR frames with MAC addresses stored in
ProxyNodeTable when RedBox (i.e. HSR-SAN) is enabled

- Introduce IPPROTO_SMC for selecting SMC when socket is created

- Allow UDP GSO transmit from devices with no checksum offload

- openvswitch: add packet sampling via psample, separating the
sampled traffic from "upcall" packets sent to user space for
forwarding

- nf_tables: shrink memory consumption for transaction objects

Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

- Power Sequencing subsystem (used by Qualcomm Bluetooth driver for
QCA6390) [ Already merged separately - Linus ]

- Add IRQ information in sysfs for auxiliary bus

- Introduce guard definition for local_lock

- Add aligned flavor of __cacheline_group_{begin, end}() markings for
grouping fields in structures

BPF:

- Notify user space (via epoll) when a struct_ops object is getting
detached/unregistered

- Add new kfuncs for a generic, open-coded bits iterator

- Enable BPF programs to declare arrays of kptr, bpf_rb_root, and
bpf_list_head

- Support resilient split BTF which cuts down on duplication and
makes BTF as compact as possible WRT BTF from modules

- Add support for dumping kfunc prototypes from BTF which enables
both detecting as well as dumping compilable prototypes for kfuncs

- riscv64 BPF JIT improvements in particular to add 12-argument
support for BPF trampolines and to utilize bpf_prog_pack for the
latter

- Add the capability to offload the netfilter flowtable in XDP layer
through kfuncs

Driver API:

- Allow users to configure IRQ tresholds between which automatic IRQ
moderation can choose

- Expand Power Sourcing (PoE) status with power, class and failure
reason. Support setting power limits

- Track additional RSS contexts in the core, make sure configuration
changes don't break them

- Support IPsec crypto offload for IPv6 ESP and IPv4 UDP-encapsulated
ESP data paths

- Support updating firmware on SFP modules

Tests and tooling:

- mptcp: use net/lib.sh to manage netns

- TCP-AO and TCP-MD5: replace debug prints used by tests with
tracepoints

- openvswitch: make test self-contained (don't depend on OvS CLI
tools)

Heng Qi says:

====================
ethtool: provide the dim profile fine-tuning channel

The NetDIM library provides excellent acceleration for many modern
network cards. However, the default profiles of DIM limits its maximum
capabilities for different NICs, so providing a way which the NIC can
be custom configured is necessary.

Currently, the way is based on the commonly used "ethtool -C".

For example,
on the server side, the virtio-net NIC with rx dim enabled has 8
queues and runs nginx.
The client uses the following command to send traffic to the server:
./wrk http://server_ip:80 -c 64 -t 5 -d 30

Then adjust the default rx-profile for server dim to

{.usec = 1, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 8, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 30, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 64, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 128, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,}

The server PPS is improved by 20%+.
