Merge tag 'net-next-6.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking changes from Jakub Kicinski: "WiFi 7 and sendpage changes are the biggest pieces of work for this release. The latter will definitely require fixes but I think that we got it to a reasonable point.
Core:
- Rework the sendpage & splice implementations
Instead of feeding data into sockets page by page extend sendmsg handlers to support taking a reference on the data, controlled by a new flag called MSG_SPLICE_PAGES
Rework the handling of unexpected-end-of-file to invoke an additional callback instead of trying to predict what the right combination of MORE/NOTLAST flags is
Remove the MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST flag completely
- Implement SCM_PIDFD, a new type of CMSG type analogous to SCM_CREDENTIALS, but it contains pidfd instead of plain pid
- Enable socket busy polling with CONFIG_RT
- Improve reliability and efficiency of reporting for ref_tracker
- Auto-generate a user space C library for various Netlink families
Protocols:
- Allow TCP to shrink the advertised window when necessary, prevent sk_rcvbuf auto-tuning from growing the window all the way up to tcp_rmem[2]
- Use per-VMA locking for "page-flipping" TCP receive zerocopy
- Prepare TCP for device-to-device data transfers, by making sure that payloads are always attached to skbs as page frags
- Make the backoff time for the first N TCP SYN retransmissions linear. Exponential backoff is unnecessarily conservative
- Create a new MPTCP getsockopt to retrieve all info (MPTCP_FULL_INFO)
- Avoid waking up applications using TLS sockets until we have a full record
- Allow using kernel memory for protocol ioctl callbacks, paving the way to issuing ioctls over io_uring
- Add nolocalbypass option to VxLAN, forcing packets to be fully encapsulated even if they are destined for a local IP address
- Make TCPv4 use consistent hash in TIME_WAIT and SYN_RECV. Ensure in-kernel ECMP implementation (e.g. Open vSwitch) select the same link for all packets. Support L4 symmetric hashing in Open vSwitch
- PPPoE: make number of hash bits configurable
- Allow DNS to be overwritten by DHCPACK in the in-kernel DHCP client (ipconfig)
- Add layer 2 miss indication and filtering, allowing higher layers (e.g. ACL filters) to make forwarding decisions based on whether packet matched forwarding state in lower devices (bridge)
- Support matching on Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) packets
- Hide the "link becomes ready" IPv6 messages by demoting their printk level to debug
- HSR: don't enable promiscuous mode if device offloads the proto
- Support active scanning in IEEE 802.15.4
- Continue work on Multi-Link Operation for WiFi 7
BPF:
- Add precision propagation for subprogs and callbacks. This allows maintaining verification efficiency when subprograms are used, or in fact passing the verifier at all for complex programs, especially those using open-coded iterators
- Improve BPF's {g,s}setsockopt() length handling. Previously BPF assumed the length is always equal to the amount of written data. But some protos allow passing a NULL buffer to discover what the output buffer *should* be, without writing anything
- Accept dynptr memory as memory arguments passed to helpers
- Add routing table ID to bpf_fib_lookup BPF helper
- Support O_PATH FDs in BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands
- Drop bpf_capable() check in BPF_MAP_FREEZE command (used to mark maps as read-only)
- Show target_{obj,btf}_id in tracing link fdinfo
- Addition of several new kfuncs (most of the names are self-explanatory): - Add a set of new dynptr kfuncs: bpf_dynptr_adjust(), bpf_dynptr_is_null(), bpf_dynptr_is_rdonly(), bpf_dynptr_size() and bpf_dynptr_clone(). - bpf_task_under_cgroup() - bpf_sock_destroy() - force closing sockets - bpf_cpumask_first_and(), rework bpf_cpumask_any*() kfuncs
Netfilter:
- Relax set/map validation checks in nf_tables. Allow checking presence of an entry in a map without using the value
- Increase ip_vs_conn_tab_bits range for 64BIT builds
- Allow updating size of a set
- Improve NAT tuple selection when connection is closing
Driver API:
- Integrate netdev with LED subsystem, to allow configuring HW "offloaded" blinking of LEDs based on link state and activity (i.e. packets coming in and out)
- Support configuring rate selection pins of SFP modules
- Factor Clause 73 auto-negotiation code out of the drivers, provide common helper routines
- Add more fool-proof helpers for managing lifetime of MDIO devices associated with the PCS layer
- Allow drivers to report advanced statistics related to Time Aware scheduler offload (taprio)
- Allow opting out of VF statistics in link dump, to allow more VFs to fit into the message
- Split devlink instance and devlink port operations
New hardware / drivers:
- Ethernet: - Synopsys EMAC4 IP support (stmmac) - Marvell 88E6361 8 port (5x1GE + 3x2.5GE) switches - Marvell 88E6250 7 port switches - Microchip LAN8650/1 Rev.B0 PHYs - MediaTek MT7981/MT7988 built-in 1GE PHY driver

net: dsa: avoid suspicious RCU usage for synced VLAN-aware MAC addresses
When using the felix driver (the only one which supports UC filtering and MC filtering) as a DSA master for a random other DSA switch, one can see the following stack trace when the downstream switch ports join a VLAN-aware bridge:
============================= WARNING: suspicious RCU usage ----------------------------- net/8021q/vlan_core.c:238 suspicious rcu_dereference_protected() usage!
stack backtrace: Workqueue: dsa_ordered dsa_slave_switchdev_event_work Call trace: lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x170/0x210 vlan_for_each+0x8c/0x188 dsa_slave_sync_uc+0x128/0x178 __hw_addr_sync_dev+0x138/0x158 dsa_slave_set_rx_mode+0x58/0x70 __dev_set_rx_mode+0x88/0xa8 dev_uc_add+0x74/0xa0 dsa_port_bridge_host_fdb_add+0xec/0x180 dsa_slave_switchdev_event_work+0x7c/0x1c8 process_one_work+0x290/0x568
What it's saying is that vlan_for_each() expects rtnl_lock() context and it's not getting it, when it's called from the DSA master's ndo_set_rx_mode().
The caller of that - dsa_slave_set_rx_mode() - is the slave DSA interface's dsa_port_bridge_host_fdb_add() which comes from the deferred dsa_slave_switchdev_event_work().
We went to great lengths to avoid the rtnl_lock() context in that call path in commit 0faf890fc519 ("net: dsa: drop rtnl_lock from dsa_slave_switchdev_event_work"), and calling rtnl_lock() is simply not an option due to the possibility of deadlocking when calling dsa_flush_workqueue() from the call paths that do hold rtnl_lock() - basically all of them.
So, when the DSA master calls vlan_for_each() from its ndo_set_rx_mode(), the state of the 8021q driver on this device is really not protected from concurrent access by anything.
Looking at net/8021q/, I don't think that vlan_info->vid_list was particularly designed with RCU traversal in mind, so introducing an RCU read-side form of vlan_for_each() - vlan_for_each_rcu() - won't be so easy, and it also wouldn't be exactly what we need anyway.
In general I believe that the solution isn't in net/8021q/ anyway; vlan_for_each() is not cut out for this task. DSA doesn't need rtnl_lock() to be held per se - since it's not a netdev state change that we're blocking, but rather, just concurrent additions/removals to a VLAN list. We don't even need sleepable context - the callback of vlan_for_each() just schedules deferred work.
The proposed escape is to remove the dependency on vlan_for_each() and to open-code a non-sleepable, rtnl-free alternative to that, based on copies of the VLAN list modified from .ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid() and .ndo_vlan_rx_kill_vid().

This patch series fixes all non-theoretical issues regarding multiple CPU ports and the handling of LLDP frames and BPDUs.
I am adding me as a maintainer, I've got some code improvements on the way. I will keep an eye on this driver and the patches submitted for it in the future.
Arınç
v6: - Change a small portion of the comment in the diff on "net: dsa: mt7530: set all CPU ports in MT7531_CPU_PMAP" with Russell's suggestion. - Change the patch log of "net: dsa: mt7530: fix trapping frames on non-MT7621 SoC MT7530 switch" with Vladimir's suggestion. - Group the code for trapping frames into a common function and call that. - Add Vladimir and Russell's reviewed-by tags to where they're given.
v5: - Change the comment in the diff on the first patch with Russell's words. - Change the patch log of the first patch to state that the patch is just preparatory work for change "net: dsa: introduce preferred_default_local_cpu_port and use on MT7530" and not a fix to an existing problem on the code base. - Remove the "net: dsa: mt7530: fix trapping frames with multiple CPU ports on MT7530" patch. It fixes a theoretical issue, therefore it is net-next material. - Remove unnecessary information from the patch logs. Remove the enum renaming change. - Strengthen the point of the "net: dsa: introduce preferred_default_local_cpu_port and use on MT7530" patch.
v4: Make the patch logs and my comments in the code easier to understand. v3: Fix the from header on the patches. Write a cover letter. v2: Add patches to fix the handling of LLDP frames and BPDUs. ====================

net: dsa: introduce preferred_default_local_cpu_port and use on MT7530
Since the introduction of the OF bindings, DSA has always had a policy that in case multiple CPU ports are present in the device tree, the numerically smallest one is always chosen.
The MT7530 switch family, except the switch on the MT7988 SoC, has 2 CPU ports, 5 and 6, where port 6 is preferable on the MT7531BE switch because it has higher bandwidth.
The MT7530 driver developers had 3 options: - to modify DSA when the MT7531 switch support was introduced, such as to prefer the better port - to declare both CPU ports in device trees as CPU ports, and live with the sub-optimal performance resulting from not preferring the better port - to declare just port 6 in the device tree as a CPU port
Of course they chose the path of least resistance (3rd option), kicking the can down the road. The hardware description in the device tree is supposed to be stable - developers are not supposed to adopt the strategy of piecemeal hardware description, where the device tree is updated in lockstep with the features that the kernel currently supports.
Now, as a result of the fact that they did that, any attempts to modify the device tree and describe both CPU ports as CPU ports would make DSA change its default selection from port 6 to 5, effectively resulting in a performance degradation visible to users with the MT7531BE switch as can be seen below.
Without preferring port 6:

Using one port for WAN and the other ports for LAN is a very popular use case which is what this test emulates.
As such, this change proposes that we retroactively modify stable kernels (which don't support the modification of the CPU port assignments, so as to let user space fix the problem and restore the throughput) to keep the mt7530 driver preferring port 6 even with device trees where the hardware is more fully described.

Merge tag 'net-next-6.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: "Core:
- Introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Increasing the default value allows for better BIG TCP performances
- Reduce compound page head access for zero-copy data transfers
- RPS/RFS improvements, avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when possible
- Threaded NAPI improvements, adding defer skb free support and unneeded softirq avoidance
- Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues, via false sharing avoidance and optimize refcount tracking
- Add lockless accesses annotation to sk_err[_soft]
- Optimize again the skb struct layout
- Extends the skb drop reasons to make it usable by multiple subsystems
- Better const qualifier awareness for socket casts
BPF:
- Add skb and XDP typed dynptrs which allow BPF programs for more ergonomic and less brittle iteration through data and variable-sized accesses
- Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward
- Add more precise memory usage reporting for all BPF map types
- Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device operating in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for controlling encap params
- Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular kfunc exists or not, and also add support for this in light skeleton
- Bigger batch of BPF verifier improvements to prepare for upcoming BPF open-coded iterators allowing for less restrictive looping capabilities
- Rework RCU enforcement in the verifier, add kptr_rcu and enforce BPF programs to NULL-check before passing such pointers into kfunc
- Add support for kptrs in percpu hashmaps, percpu LRU hashmaps and in local storage maps
- Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr tasks to be stored in BPF maps
- Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and rbtree
- Add BPF verifier support for ST instructions in convert_ctx_access() which will help new -mcpu=v4 clang flag to start emitting them
- Add ARM32 USDT support to libbpf
- Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations
Protocols:
- IPv4: Allow adding to IPv4 address a 'protocol' tag. Such value indicates the provenance of the IP address
- IPv6: optimize route lookup, dropping unneeded R/W lock acquisition
- Add the handshake upcall mechanism, allowing the user-space to implement generic TLS handshake on kernel's behalf
- Bridge: support per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression, increasing resilience to nodes failures
- SCTP: add support for Fair Capacity and Weighted Fair Queueing schedulers
- MPTCP: delay first subflow allocation up to its first usage. This will allow for later better LSM interaction
- xfrm: Remove inner/outer modes from input/output path. These are not needed anymore
- WiFi: - reduced neighbor report (RNR) handling for AP mode - HW timestamping support - support for randomized auth/deauth TA for PASN privacy - per-link debugfs for multi-link - TC offload support for mac80211 drivers - mac80211 mesh fast-xmit and fast-rx support - enable Wi-Fi 7 (EHT) mesh support
Netfilter:
- Add nf_tables 'brouting' support, to force a packet to be routed instead of being bridged
- Update bridge netfilter and ovs conntrack helpers to handle IPv6 Jumbo packets properly, i.e. fetch the packet length from hop-by-hop extension header. This is needed for BIT TCP support
- The iptables 32bit compat interface isn't compiled in by default anymore
- Move ip(6)tables builtin icmp matches to the udptcp one. This has the advantage that icmp/icmpv6 match doesn't load the iptables/ip6tables modules anymore when iptables-nft is used
- Extended netlink error report for netdevice in flowtables and netdev/chains. Allow for incrementally add/delete devices to netdev basechain. Allow to create netdev chain without device
Driver API:
- Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable, as PCI core has already error reporting enabled at enumeration time
- Move Multicast DB netlink handlers to core, allowing devices other then bridge to use them
- Allow the page_pool to directly recycle the pages from safely localized NAPI
- Implement lockless TX queue stop/wake combo macros, allowing for further code de-duplication and sanitization
- Add YNL support for user headers and struct attrs
- Add partial YNL specification for devlink
- Add partial YNL specification for ethtool
- Add tc-mqprio and tc-taprio support for preemptible traffic classes
- Add tx push buf len param to ethtool, specifies the maximum number of bytes of a transmitted packet a driver can push directly to the underlying device
- Add basic LED support for switch/phy
- Add NAPI documentation, stop relaying on external links
- Convert dsa_master_ioctl() to netdev notifier. This is a preparatory work to make the hardware timestamping layer selectable by user space
- Add transceiver support and improve the error messages for CAN-FD controllers
