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

- Support inspecting ref_tracker state via DebugFS

- Don't force bonding advertisement frames tx to ~333 ms boundaries.
Add broadcast_neighbor option to send ARP/ND on all bonded links

- Allow providing upcall pid for the 'execute' command in openvswitch

selftests: forwarding: lib: Split setup_wait()

setup_wait() takes an optional argument and then is called from the top
level of the test script. That confuses shellcheck, which thinks that maybe
the intention is to pass $1 of the script to the function, which is never
the case. To avoid having to annotate every single new test with a SC
disable, split the function in two: one that takes a mandatory argument,
and one that takes no argument at all.

Convert the two existing users of that optional argument, both in Spectrum
resource selftest, to use the new form. Clean up vxlan_bridge_1q_mc_ul.sh
to not pass a now-unused argument.

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).

Merge branch 'selftests-fixes-for-kernel-ci'

Petr Machata says:

====================
selftests: Fixes for kernel CI

As discussed on the bi-weekly call on Jan 30, and in mailing around
kernel CI effort, some changes are desirable in the suite of forwarding
selftests the better to work with the CI tooling. Namely:

- The forwarding selftests use a configuration file where names of
interfaces are defined and various variables can be overridden. There
is also forwarding.config.sample that users can use as a template to
refer to when creating the config file. What happens a fair bit is
that users either do not know about this at all, or simply forget, and
are confused by cryptic failures about interfaces that cannot be
created.

In patches #1 - #3 have lib.sh just be the single source of truth with
regards to which variables exist. That includes the topology variables
which were previously only in the sample file, and any "tweak
variables", such as what tools to use, sleep times, etc.

forwarding.config.sample then becomes just a placeholder with a couple
examples. Unless specific HW should be exercised, or specific tools
used, the defaults are usually just fine.

- Several net/forwarding/ selftests (and one net/ one) cannot be run on
veth pairs, they need an actual HW interface to run on. They are
generic in the sense that any capable HW should pass them, which is
why they have been put to net/forwarding/ as opposed to drivers/net/,
but they do not generalize to veth. The fact that these tests are in
net/forwarding/, but still complaining when run, is confusing.

In patches #4 - #6 move these tests to a new directory
drivers/net/hw.

- The following patches extend the codebase to handle well test results
other than pass and fail.

Patch #7 is preparatory. It converts several log_test_skip to XFAIL,
so that tests do not spuriously end up returning non-0 when they
are not supposed to.

In patches #8 - #10, introduce some missing ksft constants, then support
having those constants in RET, and then finally in EXIT_STATUS.

- The traffic scheduler tests generate a large amount of network traffic
to test the behavior of the scheduler. This demands a relatively
high-performance computer. On slow machines, such as with a debugging
kernel, the test would spuriously fail.

It can still be useful to "go through the motions" though, to possibly
catch bugs in setup of the scheduler graph and passing packets around.
Thus we still want to run the tests, just with lowered demands.

To that end, in patches #11 - #12, introduce an environment variable
KSFT_MACHINE_SLOW, with obvious meaning. Tests can then make checks
more lenient, such as mark failures as XFAIL. A helper, xfail_on_slow,
is provided to mark performance-sensitive parts of the selftest.

- In patch #13, use a similar mechanism to mark a NH group stats
selftest to XFAIL HW stats tests when run on VETH pairs.

- All these changes complicate the hitherto straightforward logging and
checking logic, so in patch #14, add a selftest that checks this
functionality in lib.sh.

v1 (vs. an RFC circulated through linux-kselftest):
- Patch #9:
- Clarify intended usage by s/set_ret/ret_set_ksft_status/,
s/nret/ksft_status/

selftests: forwarding: Change inappropriate log_test_skip() calls

The SKIP return should be used for cases where tooling of the machine under
test is lacking. For cases where HW is lacking, the appropriate outcome is
XFAIL.

This is the case with ethtool_rmon and mlxsw_lib. For these, introduce a
new helper, log_test_xfail().

Do the same for router_mpath_nh_lib. Note that it will be fixed using a
more reusable way in a following patch.

For the two resource_scale selftests, the log should simply not be written,
because there is no problem.
