a14fd64748 netkit: Add xsk support for af_xdp applications
Enable support for AF_XDP applications to operate on a netkit device.
The goal is that AF_XDP applications can natively consume AF_XDP
from network namespaces. The use-case from Cilium side is to support
Kubernetes KubeVirt VMs through QEMU's AF_XDP backend. KubeVirt is a
virtual machine management add-on for Kubernetes which aims to provide
a common ground for virtualization. KubeVirt spawns the VMs inside
Kubernetes Pods which reside in their own network namespace just like
regular Pods.

Raw QEMU AF_XDP backend example with eth0 being a physical device with
16 queues where netkit is bound to the last queue (for multi-queue RSS
context can be used if supported by the driver):

  # ethtool -X eth0 start 0 equal 15
  # ethtool -X eth0 start 15 equal 1 context new
  # ethtool --config-ntuple eth0 flow-type ether \
            src 00:00:00:00:00:00 \
            src-mask ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff \
            dst $mac dst-mask 00:00:00:00:00:00 \
            proto 0 proto-mask 0xffff action 15
  [ ... setup BPF/XDP prog on eth0 to steer into shared xsk map ... ]
  # ip netns add foo
  # ip link add numrxqueues 2 nk type netkit single
  # ynl --family netdev --output-json --do queue-create \
        --json "{"ifindex": $(ifindex nk), "type": "rx", \
                 "lease": { "ifindex": $(ifindex eth0), \

          -netdev af-xdp,ifname=nk,id=net0,mode=native,queues=1,start-queue=1,inhibit=on,map-path=$dir/xsks_map \
          -nographic

We have tested the above against a dual-port Nvidia ConnectX-6 (mlx5)
100G NIC with successful network connectivity out of QEMU. An earlier
iteration of this work was presented at LSF/MM/BPF [0] and more
recently at LPC [1].

For getting to a first starting point to connect all things with
KubeVirt, bind mounting the xsk map from Cilium into the VM launcher
Pod which acts as a regular Kubernetes Pod while not perfect, is not
a big problem given its out of reach from the application sitting
inside the VM (and some of the control plane aspects are baked in
the launcher Pod already), so the isolation barrier is still the VM.
Eventually the goal is to have a XDP/XSK redirect extension where
there is no need to have the xsk map, and the BPF program can just
derive the target xsk through the queue where traffic was received
on.

The exposure through netkit is because Cilium should not act as a
proxy handing out xsk sockets. Existing applications expect a netdev
from kernel side and should not need to rewrite just to implement
against a CNI's protocol. Also, all the memory should not be accounted
against Cilium but rather the application Pod itself which is consuming
AF_XDP. Further, on up/downgrades we expect the data plane to being
completely decoupled from the control plane; if Cilium would own the
sockets that would be disruptive. Another use-case which opens up and
is regularly asked from users would be to have DPDK applications on
top of AF_XDP in regular Kubernetes Pods.

2544447057 netkit: Add netkit notifier to check for unregistering devices
Add a netdevice notifier in netkit to watch for NETDEV_UNREGISTER events.
If the target device is indeed NETREG_UNREGISTERING and previously leased
a queue to a netkit device, then collect the related netkit devices and
batch-unregister_netdevice_many() them.

If this were not done, then the netkit device would hold a reference on
the physical device preventing it from going away. However, in case of
both io_uring zero-copy as well as AF_XDP this situation is handled
gracefully and the allocated resources are torn down.

In the case where mentioned infra is used through netkit, the applications
have a reference on netkit, and netkit in turn holds a reference on the
physical device. In order to have netkit release the reference on the
physical device, we need such watcher to then unregister the netkit ones.

This is generally quite similar to the dependency handling in case of
tunnels (e.g. vxlan bound to a underlying netdev) where the tunnel device
gets removed along with the physical device.

b789acc069 netkit: Implement rtnl_link_ops->alloc and ndo_queue_create
Implement rtnl_link_ops->alloc that allows the number of rx queues to be
set when netkit is created. By default, netkit has only a single rxq (and
single txq). The number of queues is deliberately not allowed to be changed
via ethtool -L and is fixed for the lifetime of a netkit instance.

For netkit device creation, numrxqueues with larger than one rxq can be
specified. These rxqs are leasable to real rxqs in physical netdevs:

  ip link add type netkit peer numrxqueues 64      # for device pair
  ip link add numrxqueues 64 type netkit single    # for single device

The limit of numrxqueues for netkit is currently set to 1024, which allows
leasing multiple real rxqs from physical netdevs.

The implementation of ndo_queue_create() adds a new rxq during the queue
lease operation. We allow to create queues either in single device mode
or for the case of dual device mode for the netkit peer device which gets
placed into the target network namespace. For dual device mode the lease
against the primary device does not make sense for the targeted use cases,
and therefore gets rejected.

We also need to add a lockdep class for netkit, such that lockdep does
not trip over us, similarly done as in commit 0bef512012 ("net: add
netdev_lockdep_set_classes() to virtual drivers").

This is also the last missing bit to netkit for supporting io_uring with
zero-copy mode [0]. Up until this point it was not possible to consume the
latter out of containers or Kubernetes Pods where applications are in their
own network namespace.

io_uring example with eth0 being a physical device with 16 queues where
netkit is bound to the last queue, iou-zcrx.c is binary from selftests;
ethtool configuration (tcp-data-split, hds_thresh, RSS, flow steering)
is done on the physical device by the control plane; here, flow steering
to that queue is based on the service VIP:port of the server utilizing
io_uring:

  # ethtool -X eth0 start 0 equal 15
  # ethtool -X eth0 start 15 equal 1 context new
  # ethtool --config-ntuple eth0 flow-type tcp4 dst-ip 1.2.3.4 dst-port 5000 action 15
  # ip netns add foo
  # ip link add type netkit peer numrxqueues 2
  # ynl --family netdev --output-json --do queue-create \
        --json "{"ifindex": $(ifindex nk0), "type": "rx", \
                 "lease": { "ifindex": $(ifindex eth0), \
                            "queue": { "type": "rx", "id": 15 } } }"
  {'id': 1}
  # ip link set nk0 netns foo
  # ip link set nk1 up
  # ip netns exec foo ip link set lo up
  # ip netns exec foo ip link set nk0 up
  # ip netns exec foo ip addr add 1.2.3.4/32 dev nk0
  [ ... setup routing etc to get external traffic into the netns ... ]
  # ip netns exec foo ./iou-zcrx -s -p 5000 -i nk0 -q 1

Remote io_uring client:

  # ./iou-zcrx -c -h 1.2.3.4 -p 5000 -l 12840 -z 65536

We have tested the above against a Broadcom BCM957504 (bnxt_en) 100G NIC,
supporting TCP header/data split.

Similarly, this also works for devmem which we tested using ncdevmem:

  # ip netns exec foo ./ncdevmem -s 1.2.3.4 -l -p 5000 -f nk0 -t 1 -q 1

And on the remote client:

  # ./ncdevmem -s 1.2.3.4 -p 5000 -f eth0

For Cilium, the plan is to open up support for the various memory providers
for regular Kubernetes Pods when Cilium is configured with netkit datapath
mode.

4810389605 netkit: Add single device mode for netkit
Add a single device mode for netkit instead of netkit pairs. The primary
target for the paired devices is to connect network namespaces, of course,
and support has been implemented in projects like Cilium [0]. For the rxq
leasing the plan is to support two main scenarios related to single device
mode:

* For the use-case of io_uring zero-copy, the control plane can either
  set up a netkit pair where the peer device can perform rxq leasing which
  is then tied to the lifetime of the peer device, or the control plane
  can use a regular netkit pair to connect the hostns to a Pod/container
  and dynamically add/remove rxq leasing through a single device without
  having to interrupt the device pair. In the case of io_uring, the memory
  pool is used as skb non-linear pages, and thus the skb will go its way
  through the regular stack into netkit. Things like the netkit policy when
  no BPF is attached or skb scrubbing etc apply as-is in case the paired
  devices are used, or if the backend memory is tied to the single device
  and traffic goes through a paired device.

* For the use-case of AF_XDP, the control plane needs to use netkit in the
  single device mode. The single device mode currently enforces only a
  pass policy when no BPF is attached, and does not yet support BPF link
  attachments for AF_XDP. skbs sent to that device get dropped at the
  moment. Given AF_XDP operates at a lower layer of the stack tying this
  to the netkit pair did not make sense. In future, the plan is to allow
  BPF at the XDP layer which can: i) process traffic coming from the AF_XDP
  application (e.g. QEMU with AF_XDP backend) to filter egress traffic or
  to push selected egress traffic up to the single netkit device to the
  local stack (e.g. DHCP requests), and ii) vice-versa skbs sent to the
  single netkit into the AF_XDP application (e.g. DHCP replies). Also,
  the control-plane can dynamically manage rxq leasing for the single
  netkit device without having to interrupt (e.g. down/up cycle) the main
  netkit pair for the Pod which has traffic going in and out.

Similarly to the netif_mp_{open,close}_rxq handling for leased queues, proxy
the xsk_{reg,clear}_pool_at_qid via netif_get_rx_queue_lease_locked such
that in case a virtual netdev picked a leased rxq, the request gets through
to the real rxq in the physical netdev. The proxying is only relevant for
queue_id < dev->real_num_rx_queues since right now it's only supported for
rxqs.

9368397fb9 xsk: Extend xsk_rcv_check validation
xsk_rcv_check tests for inbound packets to see whether they match
the bound AF_XDP socket. Refactor the test into a small helper
xsk_dev_queue_valid and move the validation against xs->dev and
xs->queue_id there.

The fast-path case stays in place and allows for quick return in
xsk_dev_queue_valid. If it fails, the validation is extended to
check whether the AF_XDP socket is bound against a leased queue,
and if so, the test is redone.

5602ad61eb net: Proxy netif_mp_{open,close}_rxq for leased queues
When a process in a container wants to setup a memory provider, it will
use the virtual netdev and a leased rxq, and call netif_mp_{open,close}_rxq
to try and restart the queue. At this point, proxy the queue restart on
the real rxq in the physical netdev.

For memory providers (io_uring zero-copy rx and devmem), it causes the
real rxq in the physical netdev to be filled from a memory provider that
has DMA mapped memory from a process within a container.

Similar to AF_XDP, do not allow queues in a physical netdev to be resized
by ethtool -L when they are leased. Cover channel resize paths (both
netlink and ioctl) to reject resizing when the queues would be affected.

Given we need to have different checks for RX vs TX, detangle the code into
a two-loop version rather than the range of new_combined + min(new_rx, new_tx)
to old_combined + max(old_rx, old_tx).

Note that the caller of netdev_nl_queue_fill_one() holds the netdevice
lock. For the queue-get we do not lock both devices. When queues get
{un,}leased, both devices are locked, thus if __netif_get_rx_queue_lease()
returns a lease pointer, it points to a valid device. The netns-id is
fetched via peernet2id_alloc() similarly as done in OVS.

          attributes:
            - id

This is a generic operation such that it can be extended for various
use cases in future. Right now it is mandatory to specify ifindex,
the queue type which is enforced to rx and a lease. The newly created
queue id is returned to the caller.

A queue from a virtual device can have a lease which refers to another
queue from a physical device. This is useful for memory providers
and AF_XDP operations which take an ifindex and queue id to allow
applications to bind against virtual devices in containers. The lease
couples both queues together and allows to proxy the operations from
a virtual device in a container to the physical device.

In future, the nested lease attribute can be lifted and made optional
for other use-cases such as dynamic queue creation for physical
netdevs. The lack of lease and the specification of the physical
device as an ifindex will imply that we need a real queue to be
allocated. Similarly, the queue type enforcement to rx can then be
lifted as well to support tx.

An early implementation had only driver-specific integration [0], but
in order for other virtual devices to reuse, it makes sense to have
this as a generic API in core net.

For leasing queues, the virtual netdev must have real_num_rx_queues
less than num_rx_queues at the time of calling queue-create. The
queue-type must be rx as only rx queues are supported for leasing
for now. We also enforce that the queue-create ifindex must point
to a virtual device, and that the nested lease attribute's ifindex
must point to a physical device. The nested lease attribute set
contains a netns-id attribute which is optional and can specify a
netns-id relative to the caller's netns. It requires cap_net_admin
and if the netns-id attribute is not specified, the lease ifindex
will be retrieved from the current netns. Also, it is modeled as
an s32 type similarly as done elsewhere in the stack.

Birger Koblitz says:

====================
r8152: Add support for the RTL8157 5Gbit USB Ethernet chip

Add support for the RTL8157, which is a 5GBit USB-Ethernet adapter
chip in the RTL815x family of chips.

The RTL8157 uses a different frame descriptor format, and different
SRAM/ADV access methods, plus offers 5GBit/s Ethernet, so support for these
features is added in addition to chip initialization and configuration.

The module was tested with an OEM RTL8157 USB adapter:
[25758.328238] usb 4-1: new SuperSpeed Plus Gen 2x1 USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd
[25758.345565] usb 4-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=8157, bcdDevice=30.00
[25758.345585] usb 4-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=7
[25758.345593] usb 4-1: Product: USB 10/100/1G/2.5G/5G LAN
[25758.345599] usb 4-1: Manufacturer: Realtek
[25758.345605] usb 4-1: SerialNumber: 000300E04C68xxxx
[25758.534241] r8152-cfgselector 4-1: reset SuperSpeed Plus Gen 2x1 USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd
[25758.603511] r8152 4-1:1.0: skip request firmware
[25758.653351] r8152 4-1:1.0 eth0: v1.12.13
[25758.689271] r8152 4-1:1.0 enx00e04c68xxxx: renamed from eth0
[25763.271682] r8152 4-1:1.0 enx00e04c68xxxx: carrier on

The RTL8157 adapter was tested against an AQC107 PCIe-card supporting
10GBit/s and an RTL8126 5Gbit PCIe-card supporting 5GBit/s for
performance, link speed and EEE negotiation. Using USB3.2 Gen 1 with
the RTL8157 USB adapter and running iperf3 against the AQC107 PCIe
card resulted in 3.47 Gbits/sec, whereas using USB3.2 Gen2 resulted
in 4.70 Gbits/sec, speeds against the RTL8126-card were the same.

As the code integrates the RTL8157-specific code with existing RTL8156 code
in order to improve code maintainability (instead of adding RTL8157-specific
functions duplicaing most of the RTL8156 code), regression tests were done
with an Edimax EU-4307 V1.0 USB-Ethernet adapter with RTL8156.

The code is based on the out-of-tree r8152 driver published by Realtek under
the GPL.

This patch is on top of linux-next as the code re-uses the 2.5 Gbit EEE
recently added in r8152.c.

fd3c7d080d r8152: Add support for the RTL8157 hardware
The RTL8157 uses a different packet descriptor format compared to the
previous generation of chips. Add support for this format by adding a
descriptor format structure into the r8152 structure and corresponding
desc_ops functions which abstract the vlan-tag, tx/rx len and
tx/rx checksum algorithms.

Also, add support for the ADV indirect access interface of the RTL8157
and PHY setup.

For initialization of the RTL8157, combine the existing RTL8156B and
RTL8156 init functions and add RTL8157-specific functinality in order
to improve code readability and maintainability.
r8156_init() is now called with RTL_VER_10 and RTL_VER_11 for the RTL8156,
with RTL_VER_12, RTL_VER_13 and RTL_VER_15 for the RTL8156B and with
RTL_VER_16 for the RTL8157 and checks the version for chip-specific code.
Also add USB power control functions for the RTL8157.

Add support for the USB device ID of Realtek RTL8157-based adapters. Detect
the RTL8157 as RTL_VER_16 and set it up.

====================
devlink: add per-port resource support

This series by Or adds devlink per-port resource support:

Currently, devlink resources are only available at the device level.
However, some resources are inherently per-port, such as the maximum
number of subfunctions (SFs) that can be created on a specific PF port.
This limitation prevents user space from obtaining accurate per-port
capacity information.
This series adds infrastructure for per-port resources in devlink core
and implements it in the mlx5 driver to expose the max_SFs resource
on PF devlink ports.

Patch #1  refactors resource functions to be generic
Patch #2  adds port-level resource registration infrastructure
Patch #3  registers SF resource on PF port representor in mlx5
Patch #4  adds devlink port resource registration to netdevsim for testing
Patch #5  adds dump support for device-level resources
Patch #6  includes port resources in the resource dump dumpit path
Patch #7  adds port-specific option to resource dump doit path
Patch #8  adds selftest for devlink port resource doit
Patch #9  documents port-level resources and full dump

4be8326d81 net/mlx5: Register SF resource on PF port representor
The device-level "resource show" displays max_local_SFs and
max_external_SFs without indicating which port each resource belongs
to. Users cannot determine the controller number and pfnum associated
with each SF pool.

Register max_SFs resource on the host PF representor port to expose
per-port SF limits. Users can correlate the port resource with the
controller number and pfnum shown in 'devlink port show'.

Future patches will introduce an ECPF that manages multiple PFs,
where each PF has its own SF pool.

Example usage:

  $ devlink resource show pci/0000:03:00.0/196608
  pci/0000:03:00.0/196608:
    name max_SFs size 20 unit entry

  $ devlink port show pci/0000:03:00.0/196608
  pci/0000:03:00.0/196608: type eth netdev pf0hpf flavour pcipf
    controller 1 pfnum 0 external true splittable false
    function:
      hw_addr b8:3f:d2:e1:8f:dc roce enable max_io_eqs 120

We can create up to 20 SFs over devlink port pci/0000:03:00.0/196608,
with pfnum 0 and controller 1.

3723c3b656 Merge branch 'mptcp-autotune-related-improvement'
Matthieu Baerts says:

====================
mptcp: autotune related improvement

Here are two patches from Paolo that have been crafted a couple of
months ago, but needed more validation because they were indirectly
causing instabilities in the sefltests. The root cause has been fixed in
'net' recently in commit 8c09412e58 ("selftests: mptcp: more stable
simult_flows tests").

These patches refactor the receive space and RTT estimator, overall
making DRS more correct while avoiding receive buffer drifting to
tcp_rmem[2], which in turn makes the throughput more stable and less
bursty, especially with high bandwidth and low delay environments.

Note that the first patch addresses a very old issue. 'net-next' is
targeted because the change is quite invasive and based on a recent
backlog refactor. The 'Fixes' tag is then there more as a FYI, because
backporting this patch will quickly be blocked due to large conflicts.

d2000361e4 mptcp: better mptcp-level RTT estimator
The current MPTCP-level RTT estimator has several issues. On high speed
links, the MPTCP-level receive buffer auto-tuning happens with a
frequency well above the TCP-level's one. That in turn can cause
excessive/unneeded receive buffer increase.

On such links, the initial rtt_us value is considerably higher than the
actual delay, and the current mptcp_rcv_space_adjust() updates
msk->rcvq_space.rtt_us with a period equal to the such field previous
value. If the initial rtt_us is 40ms, its first update will happen after
40ms, even if the subflows see actual RTT orders of magnitude lower.

Additionally:
- setting the msk RTT to the maximum among all the subflows RTTs makes
  DRS constantly overshooting the rcvbuf size when a subflow has
  considerable higher latency than the other(s).

- during unidirectional bulk transfers with multiple active subflows,
  the TCP-level RTT estimator occasionally sees considerably higher
  value than the real link delay, i.e. when the packet scheduler reacts
  to an incoming ACK on given subflow pushing data on a different
  subflow.

- currently inactive but still open subflows (i.e. switched to backup
  mode) are always considered when computing the msk-level RTT.

Address the all the issues above with a more accurate RTT estimation
strategy: the MPTCP-level RTT is set to the minimum of all the subflows
actually feeding data into the MPTCP receive buffer, using a small
sliding window.

While at it, also use EWMA to compute the msk-level scaling_ratio, to
that MPTCP can avoid traversing the subflow list is
mptcp_rcv_space_adjust().

Use some care to avoid updating msk and ssk level fields too often.

1a6b396538 net: initialize sk_rx_queue_mapping in sk_clone()
sk_clone() initializes sk_tx_queue_mapping via sk_tx_queue_clear()
but does not initialize sk_rx_queue_mapping. Since this field is in
the sk_dontcopy region, it is neither copied from the parent socket
by sock_copy() nor zeroed by sk_prot_alloc() (called without
__GFP_ZERO from sk_clone).

Commit 03cfda4fa6 ("tcp: fix another uninit-value
(sk_rx_queue_mapping)") attempted to fix this by introducing
sk_mark_napi_id_set() with force_set=true in tcp_child_process().
However, sk_mark_napi_id_set() -> sk_rx_queue_set() only writes
when skb_rx_queue_recorded(skb) is true. If the 3-way handshake
ACK arrives through a device that does not record rx_queue (e.g.
loopback or veth), sk_rx_queue_mapping remains uninitialized.

When a subsequent data packet arrives with a recorded rx_queue,
sk_mark_napi_id() -> sk_rx_queue_update() reads the uninitialized
field for comparison (force_set=false path), triggering KMSAN.

This was reproduced by establishing a TCP connection over loopback
(which does not call skb_record_rx_queue), then attaching a BPF TC
program on lo ingress to set skb->queue_mapping on data packets:

   remove this.

6+7) add more netlink policy validations in netfilter.
   This could theoretically cause issues when a client sends e.g.
   unsupported feature flags that were previously ignored, so we
   may have to relax some changes. For now, try to be stricter and

The trace lines are indented using PRINT("%*.s", xx, " ").
Userspace will treat this as "%*.0s" and will output no characters
when 'xx' is zero, the kernel treats it as "%*s" and will output
a single ' ' - which is probably what is intended.

Change all the formats to "%*s" removing the default precision.
This gives a single space indent when level is zero.
