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.

Merge branch 'net-introduce-tx-h-w-shaping-api'

Paolo Abeni says:

====================
net: introduce TX H/W shaping API

We have a plurality of shaping-related drivers API, but none flexible
enough to meet existing demand from vendors[1].

This series introduces new device APIs to configure in a flexible way
TX H/W shaping. The new functionalities are exposed via a newly
defined generic netlink interface and include introspection
capabilities. Some self-tests are included, on top of a dummy
netdevsim implementation. Finally a basic implementation for the iavf
driver is provided.

Some usage examples:

* Configure shaping on a given queue:

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/shaper.yaml \
--do set --json '{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"shaper": {"handle":
{"scope": "queue", "id":'$QUEUEID'},
"bw-max": 2000000}}'

* Container B/W sharing

The orchestration infrastructure wants to group the
container-related queues under a RR scheduling and limit the aggregate
bandwidth:

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/shaper.yaml \
--do group --json '{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"leaves": [
{"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID1'},
"weight": '$W1'},
{"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID2'},
"weight": '$W2'}],
{"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID3'},
"weight": '$W3'}],
"handle": {"scope":"node"},
"bw-max": 10000000}'
{'ifindex': $IFINDEX, 'handle': {'scope': 'node', 'id': 0}}

Q1 \
\
Q2 -- node 0 ------- netdev
/ (bw-max: 10M)
Q3 /

* Delegation

A containers wants to limit the aggregate B/W bandwidth of 2 of the 3
queues it owns - the starting configuration is the one from the
previous point:

SPEC=Documentation/netlink/specs/net_shaper.yaml
./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC \
--do group --json '{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"leaves": [
{"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID1'},
"weight": '$W1'},
{"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID2'},
"weight": '$W2'}],
"handle": {"scope": "node"},
"bw-max": 5000000 }'
{'ifindex': $IFINDEX, 'handle': {'scope': 'node', 'id': 1}}

Q1 -- node 1 --------\
/ (bw-max: 5M) \
Q2 / node 0 ------- netdev
/(bw-max: 10M)
Q3 ------------------/

In a group operation, when prior to the op itself, the leaves have
different parents, the user must specify the parent handle for the
group. I.e., starting from the previous config:

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC \
--do group --json '{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"leaves": [
{"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID1'},
"weight": '$W1'},
{"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID3'},
"weight": '$W3'}],
"handle": {"scope": "node"},
"bw-max": 3000000 }'
Netlink error: Invalid argument
nl_len = 96 (80) nl_flags = 0x300 nl_type = 2
error: -22
extack: {'msg': 'All the leaves shapers must have the same old parent'}

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC \
--do group --json '{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"leaves": [
{"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID1'},
"weight": '$W1'},
{"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID3'},
"weight": '$W3'}],
"handle": {"scope": "node"},
"parent": {"scope": "node", "id": 1},
"bw-max": 3000000 }
{'ifindex': $IFINDEX, 'handle': {'scope': 'node', 'id': 2}}

Q1 -- node 2 ---
/(bw-max:3M)\
Q3 / \
---- node 1 \
/ (bw-max: 5M)\
Q2 node 0 ------- netdev
(bw-max: 10M)

* Cleanup:

Still starting from config 1To delete a single queue shaper

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC --do delete --json \
'{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID3'}}'

Q1 -- node 2 ---
(bw-max:3M)\
\
---- node 1 \
/ (bw-max: 5M)\
Q2 node 0 ------- netdev
(bw-max: 10M)

Deleting a node shaper relinks all its leaves to the node's parent:

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC --do delete --json \
'{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"handle": {"scope": "node", "id":2}}'

Q1 ---\
\
node 1----- \
/ (bw-max: 5M)\
Q2----/ node 0 ------- netdev
(bw-max: 10M)

Deleting the last shaper under a node shaper deletes the node, too:

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC --do delete --json \
'{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID1'}}'
./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC --do delete --json \
'{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID2'}}'
./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC --do get --json \
'{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"handle": {"scope": "node", "id": 1}}'
Netlink error: No such file or directory
nl_len = 44 (28) nl_flags = 0x300 nl_type = 2
error: -2
extack: {'bad-attr': '.handle'}

Such delete recurses on parents that are left over with no leaves:

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC --do get --json \
'{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
"handle": {"scope": "node", "id": 0}}'
Netlink error: No such file or directory
nl_len = 44 (28) nl_flags = 0x300 nl_type = 2

iavf: Add net_shaper_ops support

Implement net_shaper_ops support for IAVF. This enables configuration
of rate limiting on per queue basis. Customer intends to enforce
bandwidth limit on Tx traffic steered to the queue by configuring
rate limits on the queue.

To set rate limiting for a queue, update shaper object of given queues
in driver and send VIRTCHNL_OP_CONFIG_QUEUE_BW to PF to update HW
configuration.

Deleting shaper configured for queue is nothing but configuring shaper
with bw_max 0. The PF restores the default rate limiting config
when bw_max is zero.

Merge tag 'net-next-6.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:

- Complete rework of garbage collection of AF_UNIX sockets.

AF_UNIX is prone to forming reference count cycles due to fd
passing functionality. New method based on Tarjan's Strongly
Connected Components algorithm should be both faster and remove a
lot of workarounds we accumulated over the years.

- Add TCP fraglist GRO support, allowing chaining multiple TCP
packets and forwarding them together. Useful for small switches /
routers which lack basic checksum offload in some scenarios (e.g.
PPPoE).

- Support using SMP threads for handling packet backlog i.e. packet
processing from software interfaces and old drivers which don't use
NAPI. This helps move the processing out of the softirq jumble.

- Continue work of converting from rtnl lock to RCU protection.

Don't require rtnl lock when reading: IPv6 routing FIB, IPv6
address labels, netdev threaded NAPI sysfs files, bonding driver's
sysfs files, MPLS devconf, IPv4 FIB rules, netns IDs, tcp metrics,
TC Qdiscs, neighbor entries, ARP entries via ioctl(SIOCGARP), a lot
of the link information available via rtnetlink.

- Small optimizations from Eric to UDP wake up handling, memory
accounting, RPS/RFS implementation, TCP packet sizing etc.

- Allow direct page recycling in the bulk API used by XDP, for +2%
PPS.

- Support peek with an offset on TCP sockets.

- Add MPTCP APIs for querying last time packets were received/sent/acked
and whether MPTCP "upgrade" succeeded on a TCP socket.

- Add intra-node communication shortcut to improve SMC performance.

- Add IPv6 (and IPv{4,6}-over-IPv{4,6}) support to the GTP protocol
driver.

- Add HSR-SAN (RedBOX) mode of operation to the HSR protocol driver.

- Add reset reasons for tracing what caused a TCP reset to be sent.

- Introduce direction attribute for xfrm (IPSec) states. State can be
used either for input or output packet processing.

Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

- Add bitmap_{read,write}(), bitmap_size(), expose BYTES_TO_BITS().

This required touch-ups and renaming of a few existing users.

- Add Endian-dependent __counted_by_{le,be} annotations.

- Make building selftests "quieter" by printing summaries like
"CC object.o" rather than full commands with all the arguments.

Netfilter:

- Use GFP_KERNEL to clone elements, to deal better with OOM
situations and avoid failures in the .commit step.

BPF:

- Add eBPF JIT for ARCv2 CPUs.

- Support attaching kprobe BPF programs through kprobe_multi link in
a session mode, meaning, a BPF program is attached to both function
entry and return, the entry program can decide if the return
program gets executed and the entry program can share u64 cookie
value with return program. "Session mode" is a common use-case for
tetragon and bpftrace.

- Add the ability to specify and retrieve BPF cookie for raw
tracepoint programs in order to ease migration from classic to raw
tracepoints.

- Add an internal-only BPF per-CPU instruction for resolving per-CPU
memory addresses and implement support in x86, ARM64 and RISC-V
JITs. This allows inlining functions which need to access per-CPU
state.

- Optimize x86 BPF JIT's emit_mov_imm64, and add support for various
atomics in bpf_arena which can be JITed as a single x86
instruction. Support BPF arena on ARM64.

- Add a new bpf_wq API for deferring events and refactor
process-context bpf_timer code to keep common code where possible.

- Harden the BPF verifier's and/or/xor value tracking.

- Introduce crypto kfuncs to let BPF programs call kernel crypto
APIs.

- Support bpf_tail_call_static() helper for BPF programs with GCC 13.

- Add bpf_preempt_{disable,enable}() kfuncs in order to allow a BPF
program to have code sections where preemption is disabled.

Driver API:

- Skip software TC processing completely if all installed rules are
marked as HW-only, instead of checking the HW-only flag rule by
rule.

- Add support for configuring PoE (Power over Ethernet), similar to
the already existing support for PoDL (Power over Data Line)
config.

- Initial bits of a queue control API, for now allowing a single
queue to be reset without disturbing packet flow to other queues.

- Common (ethtool) statistics for hardware timestamping.

Tests and tooling:

- Remove the need to create a config file to run the net forwarding
tests so that a naive "make run_tests" can exercise them.

- Define a method of writing tests which require an external endpoint
to communicate with (to send/receive data towards the test
machine). Add a few such tests.

- Create a shared code library for writing Python tests. Expose the
YAML Netlink library from tools/ to the tests for easy Netlink
access.

- Move netfilter tests under net/, extend them, separate performance
tests from correctness tests, and iron out issues found by running
them "on every commit".

- Refactor BPF selftests to use common network helpers.

- Further work filling in YAML definitions of Netlink messages for:
nftables, team driver, bonding interfaces, vlan interfaces, VF
info, TC u32 mark, TC police action.

- Teach Python YAML Netlink to decode attribute policies.

- Extend the definition of the "indexed array" construct in the specs
to cover arrays of scalars rather than just nests.

- Add hyperlinks between definitions in generated Netlink docs.

Drivers:

- Make sure unsupported flower control flags are rejected by drivers,
and make more drivers report errors directly to the application
rather than dmesg (large number of driver changes from Asbjørn
Sloth Tønnesen).

- Ethernet high-speed NICs:
- Broadcom (bnxt):
- support multiple RSS contexts and steering traffic to them
- support XDP metadata
- make page pool allocations more NUMA aware
- Intel (100G, ice, idpf):
- extract datapath code common among Intel drivers into a library
- use fewer resources in switchdev by sharing queues with the PF
- add PFCP filter support
- add Ethernet filter support
- use a spinlock instead of HW lock in PTP clock ops
