Merge tag 'net-next-6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

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

- Wrap datapath globals into net_aligned_data, to avoid false sharing

- Preserve MSG_ZEROCOPY in forwarding (e.g. out of a container)

- Add SO_INQ and SCM_INQ support to AF_UNIX

- Add SIOCINQ support to AF_VSOCK

- Add TCP_MAXSEG sockopt to MPTCP

- Add IPv6 force_forwarding sysctl to enable forwarding per interface

- Make TCP validation of whether packet fully fits in the receive
window and the rcv_buf more strict. With increased use of HW
aggregation a single "packet" can be multiple 100s of kB

- Add MSG_MORE flag to optimize large TCP transmissions via sockmap,
improves latency up to 33% for sockmap users

- Convert TCP send queue handling from tasklet to BH workque

- Improve BPF iteration over TCP sockets to see each socket exactly
once

- Remove obsolete and unused TCP RFC3517/RFC6675 loss recovery code

- Support enabling kernel threads for NAPI processing on per-NAPI
instance basis rather than a whole device. Fully stop the kernel
NAPI thread when threaded NAPI gets disabled. Previously thread
would stick around until ifdown due to tricky synchronization

- Allow multicast routing to take effect on locally-generated packets

- Add output interface argument for End.X in segment routing

- MCTP: add support for gateway routing, improve bind() handling

- Don't require rtnl_lock when fetching an IPv6 neighbor over Netlink

- Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid"), which cedes refresh
responsibilities to userspace. This is needed for EVPN multi-homing
where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed host needs to be synced
across all the VTEPs among which the host is multi-homed

- Support NUD_PERMANENT for proxy neighbor entries

- Add a new queuing discipline for IETF RFC9332 DualQ Coupled AQM

- Add sequence numbers to netconsole messages. Unregister
netconsole's console when all net targets are removed. Code
refactoring. Add a number of selftests

- Align IPSec inbound SA lookup to RFC 4301. Only SPI and protocol
should be used for an inbound SA lookup

ipv6: add `force_forwarding` sysctl to enable per-interface forwarding

It is currently impossible to enable ipv6 forwarding on a per-interface
basis like in ipv4. To enable forwarding on an ipv6 interface we need to
enable it on all interfaces and disable it on the other interfaces using
a netfilter rule. This is especially cumbersome if you have lots of
interfaces and only want to enable forwarding on a few. According to the
sysctl docs [0] the `net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding` enables forwarding
for all interfaces, while the interface-specific
`net.ipv6.conf.<interface>.forwarding` configures the interface
Host/Router configuration.

Introduce a new sysctl flag `force_forwarding`, which can be set on every
interface. The ip6_forwarding function will then check if the global
forwarding flag OR the force_forwarding flag is active and forward the
packet.

To preserve backwards-compatibility reset the flag (on all interfaces)
to 0 if the net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding flag is set to 0.

Add a short selftest that checks if a packet gets forwarded with and
without `force_forwarding`.

neighbour: Convert RTM_GETNEIGH to RCU and make pneigh RTNL-free.

This is kind of v3 of the series below [0] but without NEIGHTBL patches.

Patch 1 ~ 4 and 9 come from the series to convert RTM_GETNEIGH to RCU.

Other patches clean up pneigh_lookup() and convert the pneigh code to
RCU + private mutex so that we can easily remove RTNL from RTM_NEWNEIGH
in the later series.

neighbour: Split pneigh_lookup().

pneigh_lookup() has ASSERT_RTNL() in the middle of the function, which
is confusing.

When called with the last argument, creat, 0, pneigh_lookup() literally
looks up a proxy neighbour entry. This is the case of the reader path
as the fast path and RTM_GETNEIGH.

pneigh_lookup(), however, creates a pneigh_entry when called with creat 1
from RTM_NEWNEIGH and SIOCSARP, which require RTNL.

Let's split pneigh_lookup() into two functions.

We will convert all the reader paths to RCU, and read_lock_bh(&tbl->lock)
in the new pneigh_lookup() will be dropped.

Merge tag 'net-next-6.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"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 "tc qdisc" 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.

Merge branch 'device-memory-tcp-tx'

Mina Almasry says:

====================
Device memory TCP TX

The TX path had been dropped from the Device Memory TCP patch series
post RFCv1 [1], to make that series slightly easier to review. This
series rebases the implementation of the TX path on top of the
net_iov/netmem framework agreed upon and merged. The motivation for
the feature is thoroughly described in the docs & cover letter of the
original proposal, so I don't repeat the lengthy descriptions here, but
they are available in [1].

Full outline on usage of the TX path is detailed in the documentation
included with this series.

Test example is available via the kselftest included in the series as well.

The series is relatively small, as the TX path for this feature largely
piggybacks on the existing MSG_ZEROCOPY implementation.

Patch Overview:
---------------

1. Documentation & tests to give high level overview of the feature
being added.

1. Add netmem refcounting needed for the TX path.

2. Devmem TX netlink API.

3. Devmem TX net stack implementation.

4. Make dma-buf unbinding scheduled work to handle TX cases where it gets
freed from contexts where we can't sleep.

5. Add devmem TX documentation.

6. Add scaffolding enabling driver support for netmem_tx. Add helpers, driver
feature flag, and docs to enable drivers to declare netmem_tx support.

7. Guard netmem_tx against being enabled against drivers that don't
support it.

8. Add devmem_tx selftests. Add TX path to ncdevmem and add a test to
devmem.py.

Testing:
--------

Testing is very similar to devmem TCP RX path. The ncdevmem test used
for the RX path is now augemented with client functionality to test TX
path.

* Test Setup:

Kernel: net-next with this RFC and memory provider API cherry-picked
locally.

Hardware: Google Cloud A3 VMs.

NIC: GVE with header split & RSS & flow steering support.

Performance results are not included with this version, unfortunately.
I'm having issues running the dma-buf exporter driver against the
upstream kernel on my test setup. The issues are specific to that
dma-buf exporter and do not affect this patch series. I plan to follow
up this series with perf fixes if the tests point to issues once they're
up and running.

Special thanks to Stan who took a stab at rebasing the TX implementation
on top of the netmem/net_iov framework merged. Parts of his proposal [2]
that are reused as-is are forked off into their own patches to give full
credit.

net: devmem: Implement TX path

Augment dmabuf binding to be able to handle TX. Additional to all the RX
binding, we also create tx_vec needed for the TX path.

Provide API for sendmsg to be able to send dmabufs bound to this device:

- Provide a new dmabuf_tx_cmsg which includes the dmabuf to send from.
- MSG_ZEROCOPY with SCM_DEVMEM_DMABUF cmsg indicates send from dma-buf.

Devmem is uncopyable, so piggyback off the existing MSG_ZEROCOPY
implementation, while disabling instances where MSG_ZEROCOPY falls back
to copying.

We additionally pipe the binding down to the new
zerocopy_fill_skb_from_devmem which fills a TX skb with net_iov netmems
instead of the traditional page netmems.

We also special case skb_frag_dma_map to return the dma-address of these
dmabuf net_iovs instead of attempting to map pages.

The TX path may release the dmabuf in a context where we cannot wait.
This happens when the user unbinds a TX dmabuf while there are still
references to its netmems in the TX path. In that case, the netmems will
be put_netmem'd from a context where we can't unmap the dmabuf, Resolve
this by making __net_devmem_dmabuf_binding_free schedule_work'd.

Based on work by Stanislav Fomichev <sdf@fomichev.me>. A lot of the meat
of the implementation came from devmem TCP RFC v1[1], which included the
TX path, but Stan did all the rebasing on top of netmem/net_iov.

Merge branch 'net-retire-dccp-socket'

Kuniyuki Iwashima says:

====================
net: Retire DCCP socket.

As announced by commit b144fcaf46d4 ("dccp: Print deprecation
notice."), it's time to remove DCCP socket.

The patch 2 removes net/dccp, LSM code, doc, and etc, leaving
DCCP netfilter modules.

The patch 3 unexports shared functions for DCCP, and the patch 4
renames tcp_or_dccp_get_hashinfo() to tcp_get_hashinfo().

We can do more cleanup; for example, remove IPPROTO_TCP checks in
__inet6?_check_established(), remove __module_get() for twsk,
remove timewait_sock_ops.twsk_destructor(), etc, but it will be
more of TCP stuff, so I'll defer to a later series.
