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.

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.

1) Per-CPU kthreads must stay affine to a single CPU and never execute
relevant code on any other CPU. This is currently handled by smpboot
code which takes care of CPU-hotplug operations. Affinity here is
a correctness constraint.
2) Some kthreads _have_ to be affine to a specific set of CPUs and can't
run anywhere else. The affinity is set through kthread_bind_mask()
and the subsystem takes care by itself to handle CPU-hotplug
operations. Affinity here is assumed to be a correctness constraint.
3) Per-node kthreads _prefer_ to be affine to a specific NUMA node. This
is not a correctness constraint but merely a preference in terms of
memory locality. kswapd and kcompactd both fall into this category.
The affinity is set manually like for any other task and CPU-hotplug
is supposed to be handled by the relevant subsystem so that the task
is properly reaffined whenever a given CPU from the node comes up.
Also care should be taken so that the node affinity doesn't cross
isolated (nohz_full) cpumask boundaries.
4) Similar to the previous point except kthreads have a _preferred_
affinity different than a node. Both RCU boost kthreads and RCU
exp kworkers fall into this category as they refer to "RCU nodes"
from a distinctly distributed tree.
Currently the preferred affinity patterns (3 and 4) have at least 4
identified users, with more or less success when it comes to handle
CPU-hotplug operations and CPU isolation. Each of which do it in its own
ad-hoc way.
This is an infrastructure proposal to handle this with the following API
changes:
_ kthread_create_on_node() automatically affines the created kthread to
its target node unless it has been set as per-cpu or bound with
kthread_bind[_mask]() before the first wake-up.
- kthread_affine_preferred() is a new function that can be called right
after kthread_create_on_node() to specify a preferred affinity
different than the specified node.
When the preferred affinity can't be applied because the possible
targets are offline or isolated (nohz_full), the kthread is affine
to the housekeeping CPUs (which means to all online CPUs most of the
time or only the non-nohz_full CPUs when nohz_full= is set).
kswapd, kcompactd, RCU boost kthreads and RCU exp kworkers have been
converted, along with a few old drivers.
Summary of the changes:
* Consolidate a bunch of ad-hoc implementations of kthread_run_on_cpu()
* Introduce task_cpu_fallback_mask() that defines the default last
resort affinity of a task to become nohz_full aware
* Add some correctness check to ensure kthread_bind() is always called
before the first kthread wake up.
* Default affine kthread to its preferred node.
* Convert kswapd / kcompactd and remove their halfway working ad-hoc
affinity implementation
* Implement kthreads preferred affinity
* Unify kthread worker and kthread API's style
* Convert RCU kthreads to the new API and remove the ad-hoc affinity
implementation.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:
====================
Netfilter updates for net-next
The following batch contains Netfilter updates for net-next:
1) Unbreak set size settings for rbtree set backend, intervals in
rbtree are represented as two elements, this detailed is leaked
to userspace leading to bogus ENOSPC from control plane.
2) Remove dead code in br_netfilter's br_nf_pre_routing_finish()
due to never matching error when looking up for route,
from Antoine Tenart.
3) Simplify check for device already in use in flowtable,
from Phil Sutter.
4) Three patches to restore interface name field in struct nft_hook
and use it, this is to prepare for wildcard interface support.
From Phil Sutter.
5) Do not remove netdev basechain when last device is gone, this is
for consistency with the flowtable behaviour. This allows for netdev
basechains without devices. Another patch to simplify netdev event
notifier after this update. Also from Phil.
6) Two patches to add missing spinlock when flowtable updates TCP
state flags, from Florian Westphal.
7) Simplify __nf_ct_refresh_acct() by removing skbuff parameter,
also from Florian.
8) Flowtable gc now extends ct timeout for offloaded flow. This
is to address a possible race that leads to handing over flow
to classic path with long ct timeouts.
9) Tear down flow if cached rt_mtu is stale, before this patch,
packet is handed over to classic path but flow entry still remained
in place.
10) Revisit the flowtable teardown strategy, which was originally
designed to release flowtable hardware entries early. Add a new
CLOSING flag that still allows hardware to release entries when
fin/rst is seen, but keeps the flow entry in place when the
TCP connection is closed. Release flow after timeout or when a new
syn packet is seen for TCP reopen scenario.

This is based on Donald Hunter's patch.
These functions could fail for various reasons, sometimes
triggering kfree_skb().
* unix_stream_connect() : connect()
* unix_stream_sendmsg() : sendmsg()
* queue_oob() : sendmsg(MSG_OOB)
* unix_dgram_sendmsg() : sendmsg()
Such kfree_skb() is tied to the errno of connect() and
sendmsg(), and we need not define skb drop reasons.
Let's use consume_skb() not to churn kfree_skb() events.

Inflight file descriptors by SCM_RIGHTS hold references to the
struct file.
AF_UNIX sockets could hold references to each other, forming
reference cycles.
Once such sockets are close()d without the fd recv()ed, they
will be unaccessible from userspace but remain in kernel.
__unix_gc() garbage-collects skb with the dead file descriptors
and frees them by __skb_queue_purge().
Let's set SKB_DROP_REASON_SOCKET_CLOSE there.

# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/skb/kfree_skb/enable

socket in unix_stream_connect() when something fails, but the new
sk does not have skb in the recv queue then and no event is logged.

I noticed that HyStart incorrectly marks the start of rounds,
leading to inaccurate measurements of ACK train lengths and
resetting the `ca->sample_cnt` variable. This inaccuracy can impact
HyStart's functionality in terminating exponential cwnd growth during
Slow-Start, potentially degrading TCP performance.
The issue arises because the changes introduced in commit 4e1fddc98d
("tcp_cubic: fix spurious Hystart ACK train detections for not-cwnd-limited flows")
moved the caller of the `bictcp_hystart_reset` function inside the `hystart_update` function.
This modification added an additional condition for triggering the caller,
requiring that (tcp_snd_cwnd(tp) >= hystart_low_window) must also
be satisfied before invoking `bictcp_hystart_reset`.
This fix ensures that `bictcp_hystart_reset` is correctly called
at the start of a new round, regardless of the congestion window size.
This is achieved by moving the condition
(tcp_snd_cwnd(tp) >= hystart_low_window)
from before calling `bictcp_hystart_reset` to after it.
I tested with a client and a server connected through two Linux software routers.
In this setup, the minimum RTT was 150 ms, the bottleneck bandwidth was 50 Mbps,
and the bottleneck buffer size was 1 BDP, calculated as (50M / 1514 / 8) * 0.150 = 619 packets.
I conducted the test twice, transferring data from the server to the client for 1.5 seconds.
Before the patch was applied, HYSTART-DELAY stopped the exponential growth of cwnd when
cwnd = 516, and the bottleneck link was not yet saturated (516 < 619).
After the patch was applied, HYSTART-ACK-TRAIN stopped the exponential growth of cwnd when
cwnd = 632, and the bottleneck link was saturated (632 > 619).
In this test, applying the patch resulted in 300 KB more data delivered.

This patch addresses issues with filter counting in block (tcf_block),
particularly for software bypass scenarios, by introducing a more
accurate mechanism using useswcnt.
Previously, filtercnt and skipswcnt were introduced by:
Commit 2081fd3445 ("net: sched: cls_api: add filter counter") and
Commit f631ef39d8 ("net: sched: cls_api: add skip_sw counter")
filtercnt tracked all tp (tcf_proto) objects added to a block, and
skipswcnt counted tp objects with the skipsw attribute set.
The problem is: a single tp can contain multiple filters, some with skipsw
and others without. The current implementation fails in the case:
When the first filter in a tp has skipsw, both skipswcnt and filtercnt
are incremented, then adding a second filter without skipsw to the same
tp does not modify these counters because tp->counted is already set.
This results in bypass software behavior based solely on skipswcnt
equaling filtercnt, even when the block includes filters without
skipsw. Consequently, filters without skipsw are inadvertently bypassed.
To address this, the patch introduces useswcnt in block to explicitly count
tp objects containing at least one filter without skipsw. Key changes
include:
Whenever a filter without skipsw is added, its tp is marked with usesw
and counted in useswcnt. tc_run() now uses useswcnt to determine software
bypass, eliminating reliance on filtercnt and skipswcnt.
This refined approach prevents software bypass for blocks containing
mixed filters, ensuring correct behavior in tc_run().
Additionally, as atomic operations on useswcnt ensure thread safety and
tp->lock guards access to tp->usesw and tp->counted, the broader lock
down_write(&block->cb_lock) is no longer required in tc_new_tfilter(),
and this resolves a performance regression caused by the filter counting
mechanism during parallel filter insertions.
The improvement can be demonstrated using the following script:
# cat insert_tc_rules.sh
tc qdisc add dev ens1f0np0 ingress
for i in $(seq 16); do
taskset -c $i tc -b rules_$i.txt &
done
wait
Each of rules_$i.txt files above includes 100000 tc filter rules to a
mlx5 driver NIC ens1f0np0.

tcp rst/fin packet triggers an immediate teardown of the flow which
results in sending flows back to the classic forwarding path.
This behaviour was introduced by:
da5984e510 ("netfilter: nf_flow_table: add support for sending flows back to the slow path")
b6f27d322a ("netfilter: nf_flow_table: tear down TCP flows if RST or FIN was seen")
whose goal is to expedite removal of flow entries from the hardware
table. Before these patches, the flow was released after the flow entry
timed out.
However, this approach leads to packet races when restoring the
conntrack state as well as late flow re-offload situations when the TCP
connection is ending.
This patch adds a new CLOSING state that is is entered when tcp rst/fin
packet is seen. This allows for an early removal of the flow entry from
the hardware table. But the flow entry still remains in software, so tcp
packets to shut down the flow are not sent back to slow path.
If syn packet is seen from this new CLOSING state, then this flow enters
teardown state, ct state is set to TCP_CONNTRACK_CLOSE state and packet
is sent to slow path, so this TCP reopen scenario can be handled by
conntrack. TCP_CONNTRACK_CLOSE provides a small timeout that aims at
quickly releasing this stale entry from the conntrack table.
Moreover, skip hardware re-offload from flowtable software packet if the
flow is in CLOSING state.

Tear down the flow entry in the unlikely case that the interface mtu
changes, this gives the flow a chance to refresh the cached mtu,
otherwise such refresh does not occur until flow entry expires.

Offload nf_conn entries may not see traffic for a very long time.
To prevent incorrect 'ct is stale' checks during nf_conntrack table
lookup, the gc worker extends the timeout nf_conn entries marked for
offload to a large value.
The existing logic suffers from a few problems.
Garbage collection runs without locks, its unlikely but possible
that @ct is removed right after the 'offload' bit test.
In that case, the timeout of a new/reallocated nf_conn entry will
be increased.
Prevent this by obtaining a reference count on the ct object and
re-check of the confirmed and offload bits.
If those are not set, the ct is being removed, skip the timeout
extension in this case.
Parallel teardown is also problematic:
cpu1 cpu2
gc_worker
calls flow_offload_teardown()
tests OFFLOAD bit, set
clear OFFLOAD bit
ct->timeout is repaired (e.g. set to timeout[UDP_CT_REPLIED])
nf_ct_offload_timeout() called
expire value is fetched
<INTERRUPT>
-> NF_CT_DAY timeout for flow that isn't offloaded
(and might not see any further packets).
Use cmpxchg: if ct->timeout was repaired after the 2nd 'offload bit' test
passed, then ct->timeout will only be updated of ct->timeout was not
altered in between.
As we already have a gc worker for flowtable entries, ct->timeout repair
can be handled from the flowtable gc worker.
This avoids having flowtable specific logic in the conntrack core
and avoids checking entries that were never offloaded.
This allows to remove the nf_ct_offload_timeout helper.
Its safe to use in the add case, but not on teardown.

Its not used (and could be NULL), so remove it.
This allows to use nf_ct_refresh in places where we don't have
an skb without having to double-check that skb == NULL would be safe.

The conntrack entry is already public, there is a small chance that another
CPU is handling a packet in reply direction and racing with the tcp state
update.
Move this under ct spinlock.
This is done once, when ct is about to be offloaded, so this should
not result in a noticeable performance hit.

This state reset is racy, no locks are held here.
Since commit
8437a6209f ("netfilter: nft_flow_offload: set liberal tracking mode for tcp"),
the window checks are disabled for normal data packets, but MAXACK flag
is checked when validating TCP resets.
Clear the flag so tcp reset validation checks are ignored.

With conditional chain deletion gone, callback code simplifies: Instead
of filling an nft_ctx object, just pass basechain to the per-chain

Do not drop a netdev-family chain if the last interface it is registered
for vanishes. Users dumping and storing the ruleset upon shutdown to
restore it upon next boot may otherwise lose the chain and all contained
rules. They will still lose the list of devices, a later patch will fix
that. For now, this aligns the event handler's behaviour with that for
flowtables.
The controversal situation at netns exit should be no problem here:
event handler will unregister the hooks, core nftables cleanup code will
drop the chain itself.

When checking for duplicate hooks in nft_register_flowtable_net_hooks(),
comparing ops.pf value is pointless as it is always NFPROTO_NETDEV with
flowtable hooks.
Dropping the check leaves the search identical to the one in
nft_hook_list_find() so call that function instead of open coding.

The SKB_DROP_REASON_IP_INADDRERRORS drop reason is never returned from
any function, as such it cannot be returned from the ip_route_input call
tree. The 'reason != SKB_DROP_REASON_IP_INADDRERRORS' conditional is
thus always true.
Looking back at history, commit 50038bf38e ("net: ip: make
ip_route_input() return drop reasons") changed the ip_route_input
returned value check in br_nf_pre_routing_finish from -EHOSTUNREACH to
SKB_DROP_REASON_IP_INADDRERRORS. It turns out -EHOSTUNREACH could not be
returned either from the ip_route_input call tree and this since commit
251da41301 ("ipv4: Cache ip_error() routes even when not
forwarding.").
Not a fix as this won't change the behavior. While at it use
kfree_skb_reason.

The existing rbtree implementation uses singleton elements to represent
ranges, however, userspace provides a set size according to the number
of ranges in the set.
Adjust provided userspace set size to the number of singleton elements
in the kernel by multiplying the range by two.
Check if the no-match all-zero element is already in the set, in such
case release one slot in the set size.
