Remove the hidden assumption that options are allocated at the end of
the struct, and teach the compiler about them using a flexible array.
With this, we can revert the unsafe_memcpy() call we have in
tun_dst_unclone() [1], and resolve the false field-spanning write
warning caused by the memcpy() in ip_tunnel_info_opts_set().
The layout of struct ip_tunnel_info remains the same with this patch.
Before this patch, there was an implicit padding at the end of the
struct, options would be written at 'info + 1' which is after the
padding.
This will remain the same as this patch explicitly aligns 'options'.
The alignment is needed as the options are later casted to different
structs, and might result in unaligned memory access.
Pahole output before this patch:
struct ip_tunnel_info {
struct ip_tunnel_key key; /* 0 64 */
/* XXX last struct has 1 byte of padding */

Xiumei reported hitting the WARN in xfrm6_tunnel_net_exit while
running tests that boil down to:
- create a pair of netns
- run a basic TCP test over ipcomp6
- delete the pair of netns
The xfrm_state found on spi_byaddr was not deleted at the time we
delete the netns, because we still have a reference on it. This
lingering reference comes from a secpath (which holds a ref on the
xfrm_state), which is still attached to an skb. This skb is not
leaked, it ends up on sk_receive_queue and then gets defer-free'd by
skb_attempt_defer_free.
The problem happens when we defer freeing an skb (push it on one CPU's
defer_list), and don't flush that list before the netns is deleted. In
that case, we still have a reference on the xfrm_state that we don't
expect at this point.
We already drop the skb's dst in the TCP receive path when it's no
longer needed, so let's also drop the secpath. At this point,
tcp_filter has already called into the LSM hooks that may require the
secpath, so it should not be needed anymore. However, in some of those
places, the MPTCP extension has just been attached to the skb, so we
cannot simply drop all extensions.

The existing code inverts the standard pattern for initializing cookie

overwrite that when parsing cmsgs (the unlikely case).
This field inverts that, setting the field to an illegal value and

ice, iavf: Add support for Rx timestamping
Mateusz Polchlopek says:
Initially, during VF creation it registers the PTP clock in
the system and negotiates with PF it's capabilities. In the
meantime the PF enables the Flexible Descriptor for VF.
Only this type of descriptor allows to receive Rx timestamps.
Enabling virtual clock would be possible, though it would probably
perform poorly due to the lack of direct time access.
Enable timestamping should be done using userspace tools, e.g.
hwstamp_ctl -i $VF -r 14
In order to report the timestamps to userspace, the VF extends
timestamp to 40b.
To support this feature the flexible descriptors and PTP part
in iavf driver have been introduced.

After commit 5d4cc87414 ("net: reorganize "struct sock" fields"),
the sk_tsflags field shares the same cacheline with sk_forward_alloc.
The UDP protocol does not acquire the sock lock in the RX path;
forward allocations are protected via the receive queue spinlock;
additionally udp_recvmsg() calls sock_recv_cmsgs() unconditionally
touching sk_tsflags on each packet reception.
Due to the above, under high packet rate traffic, when the BH and the
user-space process run on different CPUs, UDP packet reception
experiences a cache miss while accessing sk_tsflags.
The receive path doesn't strictly need to access the problematic field;
change sock_set_timestamping() to maintain the relevant information
in a newly allocated sk_flags bit, so that sock_recv_cmsgs() can
take decisions accessing the latter field only.
With this patch applied, on an AMD epic server with i40e NICs, I
measured a 10% performance improvement for small packets UDP flood
performance tests - possibly a larger delta could be observed with more
recent H/W.

Currently, when your driver supports XSk Tx metadata and you want to
send an XSk frame, you need to do the following:
* call external xsk_buff_raw_get_dma();
* call inline xsk_buff_get_metadata(), which calls external
xsk_buff_raw_get_data() and then do some inline checks.
This effectively means that the following piece:
addr = pool->unaligned ? xp_unaligned_add_offset_to_addr(addr) : addr;
is done twice per frame, plus you have 2 external calls per frame, plus
this:
meta = pool->addrs + addr - pool->tx_metadata_len;
if (unlikely(!xsk_buff_valid_tx_metadata(meta)))
is always inlined, even if there's no meta or it's invalid.
Add xsk_buff_raw_get_ctx() (xp_raw_get_ctx() to be precise) to do that
in one go. It returns a small structure with 2 fields: DMA address,
filled unconditionally, and metadata pointer, non-NULL only if it's
present and valid. The address correction is performed only once and
you also have only 1 external call per XSk frame, which does all the
calculations and checks outside of your hotpath. You only need to
check `if (ctx.meta)` for the metadata presence.
To not copy any existing code, derive address correction and getting
virtual and DMA address into small helpers. bloat-o-meter reports no
object code changes for the existing functionality.

There are at least two cases where napi_id may not present and the
napi_id should be elided:
1. Queues could be created, but napi_enable may not have been called
yet. In this case, there may be a NAPI but it may not have an ID and
output of a napi_id should be elided.
2. TX-only NAPIs currently do not have NAPI IDs. If a TX queue happens
to be linked with a TX-only NAPI, elide the NAPI ID from the netlink
output as a NAPI ID of 0 is not useful for users.

====================
io_uring zero copy rx
This patchset contains net/ patches needed by a new io_uring request
implementing zero copy rx into userspace pages, eliminating a kernel
to user copy.
We configure a page pool that a driver uses to fill a hw rx queue to
hand out user pages instead of kernel pages. Any data that ends up
hitting this hw rx queue will thus be dma'd into userspace memory
directly, without needing to be bounced through kernel memory. 'Reading'
data out of a socket instead becomes a _notification_ mechanism, where
the kernel tells userspace where the data is. The overall approach is
similar to the devmem TCP proposal.
This relies on hw header/data split, flow steering and RSS to ensure
packet headers remain in kernel memory and only desired flows hit a hw
rx queue configured for zero copy. Configuring this is outside of the
scope of this patchset.
We share netdev core infra with devmem TCP. The main difference is that
io_uring is used for the uAPI and the lifetime of all objects are bound
to an io_uring instance. Data is 'read' using a new io_uring request
type. When done, data is returned via a new shared refill queue. A zero
copy page pool refills a hw rx queue from this refill queue directly. Of
course, the lifetime of these data buffers are managed by io_uring
rather than the networking stack, with different refcounting rules.
This patchset is the first step adding basic zero copy support. We will
extend this iteratively with new features e.g. dynamically allocated
zero copy areas, THP support, dmabuf support, improved copy fallback,
general optimisations and more.
In terms of netdev support, we're first targeting Broadcom bnxt. Patches
aren't included since Taehee Yoo has already sent a more comprehensive
patchset adding support in [1]. Google gve should already support this,
and Mellanox mlx5 support is WIP pending driver changes.

Currently net_iov stores a pointer to struct dmabuf_genpool_chunk_owner,
which serves as a useful abstraction to share data and provide a
context. However, it's too devmem specific, and we want to reuse it for
other memory providers, and for that we need to decouple net_iov from
devmem. Make net_iov to point to a new base structure called
net_iov_area, which dmabuf_genpool_chunk_owner extends.

In case of tc offload, when user space queries the kernel for tc action
statistics, tc will query the offloaded statistics from device drivers.
Among other statistics, drivers are expected to pass the number of
packets that hit the action since the last query as a 64-bit number.
Unfortunately, tc treats the number of packets as a 32-bit number,
leading to truncation and incorrect statistics when the number of
packets since the last query exceeds 0xffffffff:
$ tc -s filter show dev swp2 ingress
filter protocol all pref 1 flower chain 0
filter protocol all pref 1 flower chain 0 handle 0x1
skip_sw
in_hw in_hw_count 1
action order 1: mirred (Egress Redirect to device swp1) stolen
index 1 ref 1 bind 1 installed 58 sec used 0 sec
Action statistics:
Sent 1133877034176 bytes 536959475 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
[...]
According to the above, 2111-byte packets were redirected which is
impossible as only 64-byte packets were transmitted and the MTU was
1500.
Fix by treating packets as a 64-bit number:
$ tc -s filter show dev swp2 ingress
filter protocol all pref 1 flower chain 0
filter protocol all pref 1 flower chain 0 handle 0x1
skip_sw
in_hw in_hw_count 1
action order 1: mirred (Egress Redirect to device swp1) stolen
index 1 ref 1 bind 1 installed 61 sec used 0 sec
Action statistics:
Sent 1370624380864 bytes 21416005951 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
[...]
Which shows that only 64-byte packets were redirected (1370624380864 /
21416005951 = 64).

Rx/tx queues embed their own kobject for registering their per-queue
sysfs files. The issue is they're using the kobject default groups for
this and entirely rely on the kobject refcounting for releasing their
sysfs paths.
In order to remove rtnl_trylock calls we need sysfs files not to rely on
their associated kobject refcounting for their release. Thus we here
move queues sysfs files from the kobject default groups to their own
groups which can be removed separately.

Page ppol tried to cache the NAPI ID in page pool info to avoid
having a dependency on the life cycle of the NAPI instance.
Since commit under Fixes the NAPI ID is not populated until
napi_enable() and there's a good chance that page pool is
created before NAPI gets enabled.
Protect the NAPI pointer with the existing page pool mutex,
the reading path already holds it. napi_id itself we need
to READ_ONCE(), it's protected by netdev_lock() which are
not holding in page pool.
Before this patch napi IDs were missing for mlx5:

Core
----
- More core refactoring to reduce the RTNL lock contention,
including preparatory work for the per-network namespace RTNL lock,
replacing RTNL lock with a per device-one to protect NAPI-related
net device data and moving synchronize_net() calls outside such
lock.
- Extend drop reasons usage, adding net scheduler, AF_UNIX, bridge and
more specific TCP coverage.
- Reduce network namespace tear-down time by removing per-subsystems
synchronize_net() in tipc and sched.
- Add flow label selector support for fib rules, allowing traffic
redirection based on such header field.
Netfilter
---------
- Do not remove netdev basechain when last device is gone, allowing
netdev basechains without devices.
- Revisit the flowtable teardown strategy, dealing better with fin,
reset and re-open events.
- Scale-up IP-vs connection dumping by avoiding linear search on
each restart.
Protocols
---------
- A significant XDP socket refactor, consolidating and optimizing
several helpers into the core
- Better scaling of ICMP rate-limiting, by removing false-sharing in
inet peers handling.
- Introduces netlink notifications for multicast IPv4 and IPv6
address changes.
- Add ipsec support for IP-TFS/AggFrag encapsulation, allowing
aggregation and fragmentation of the inner IP.
- Add sysctl to configure TIME-WAIT reuse delay for TCP sockets,
to avoid local port exhaustion issues when the average connection
lifetime is very short.
- Support updating keys (re-keying) for connections using kernel
TLS (for TLS 1.3 only).
- Support ipv4-mapped ipv6 address clients in smc-r v2.
- Add support for jumbo data packet transmission in RxRPC sockets,
gluing multiple data packets in a single UDP packet.
- Support RxRPC RACK-TLP to manage packet loss and retransmission in
conjunction with the congestion control algorithm.
Driver API
----------
- Introduce a unified and structured interface for reporting PHY
statistics, exposing consistent data across different H/W via
ethtool.
- Make timestamping selectable, allow the user to select the desired
hwtstamp provider (PHY or MAC) administratively.
- Add support for configuring a header-data-split threshold (HDS)
value via ethtool, to deal with partial or buggy H/W implementation.
- Consolidate DSA drivers Energy Efficiency Ethernet support.
- Add EEE management to phylink, making use of the phylib
implementation.
- Add phylib support for in-band capabilities negotiation.
- Simplify how phylib-enabled mac drivers expose the supported
interfaces.
Tests and tooling
-----------------
- Make the YNL tool package-friendly to make it easier to deploy it
separately from the kernel.
- Increase TCP selftest coverage importing several packetdrill
test-cases.
- Regenerate the ethtool uapi header from the YNL spec,
to ease maintenance and future development.
- Add YNL support for decoding the link types used in net
self-tests, allowing a single build to run both net and
drivers/net.

reset and re-open events.
- Scale-up IP-vs connection dumping by avoiding linear search on each
restart.
Protocols:
- A significant XDP socket refactor, consolidating and optimizing
several helpers into the core

inet peers handling.
- Introduces netlink notifications for multicast IPv4 and IPv6
address changes.
- Add ipsec support for IP-TFS/AggFrag encapsulation, allowing
aggregation and fragmentation of the inner IP.
- Add sysctl to configure TIME-WAIT reuse delay for TCP sockets, to
avoid local port exhaustion issues when the average connection
lifetime is very short.
- Support updating keys (re-keying) for connections using kernel TLS
(for TLS 1.3 only).
- Support ipv4-mapped ipv6 address clients in smc-r v2.
- Add support for jumbo data packet transmission in RxRPC sockets,
gluing multiple data packets in a single UDP packet.
- Support RxRPC RACK-TLP to manage packet loss and retransmission in
conjunction with the congestion control algorithm.
Driver API:
- Introduce a unified and structured interface for reporting PHY
statistics, exposing consistent data across different H/W via
ethtool.
- Make timestamping selectable, allow the user to select the desired
hwtstamp provider (PHY or MAC) administratively.
- Add support for configuring a header-data-split threshold (HDS)
value via ethtool, to deal with partial or buggy H/W
implementation.
- Consolidate DSA drivers Energy Efficiency Ethernet support.
- Add EEE management to phylink, making use of the phylib
implementation.
- Add phylib support for in-band capabilities negotiation.
- Simplify how phylib-enabled mac drivers expose the supported
interfaces.
Tests and tooling:
- Make the YNL tool package-friendly to make it easier to deploy it
separately from the kernel.
- Increase TCP selftest coverage importing several packetdrill
test-cases.
- Regenerate the ethtool uapi header from the YNL spec, to ease
maintenance and future development.
- Add YNL support for decoding the link types used in net self-tests,
allowing a single build to run both net and drivers/net.

Merge tag 'lsm-pr-20250121' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/lsm
Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:
- Improved handling of LSM "secctx" strings through lsm_context struct
The LSM secctx string interface is from an older time when only one
LSM was supported, migrate over to the lsm_context struct to better
support the different LSMs we now have and make it easier to support
new LSMs in the future.
These changes explain the Rust, VFS, and networking changes in the
diffstat.
- Only build lsm_audit.c if CONFIG_SECURITY and CONFIG_AUDIT are
enabled
Small tweak to be a bit smarter about when we build the LSM's common
audit helpers.
- Check for absurdly large policies from userspace in SafeSetID
SafeSetID policies rules are fairly small, basically just "UID:UID",
it easy to impose a limit of KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE on policy writes which
helps quiet a number of syzbot related issues. While work is being
done to address the syzbot issues through other mechanisms, this is a
trivial and relatively safe fix that we can do now.
- Various minor improvements and cleanups
A collection of improvements to the kernel selftests, constification
of some function parameters, removing redundant assignments, and
local variable renames to improve readability.
